What It's Like Being a Vampire

Chapter Eighty-five: Why Don’t You Give It a Shot?

As for the possible retaliation from the tall skinny man, Xiang Kun wasn’t worried at all.

Even though Shiling’s Mom mentioned that he operated a bar in town, a person like that often is involved with a kind of riffraff and grey area, and has a lot of connections.

However, he didn’t think the other party had a large evil force behind him. In this day and age, in big cities like where he currently resided, it is impossible for such violent gangs to thrive.

Of course, if there were, he wouldn’t mind helping Officer Chen score a big point again.

The reason he informed Officer Chen on WeChat was to prepare for any action he might need to take.

In his opinion, if he still had a job and belonged to a workplace, the tall skinny man might use some tricks to mess with him, such as threatening to make a disturbance at the kindergarten where Liu Shiling attended, just as he threatened Shiling’s Mom earlier.

But now, as an unemployed bachelor, what could they do to him?

The most likely scenario was that they would find a few guys to lurk outside his community and then intimidate him or give him a sneaky beating.

However, given Xiang Kun’s super sensory ability, his habit of observing his surroundings subconsciously, and his brain’s information processing capability, basically no one could ambush or sneak-attack him.

Unless they used a sniper rifle from a great distance?

If they were really capable of that, he wouldn’t feel wronged even if he took a bullet…

If they openly ambushed him, he would be even less afraid.

Considering his current physical quality, strength, speed, and reaction, two to three men couldn’t do anything to him. If there were more people or if the other party was armed, they wouldn’t be able to catch him if he chose to run.

Then he would dial 110 (police). Now that the whole country is cracking down on black and evil forces, as long as he had informed Officer Chen in advance, he wouldn’t be afraid that the police would ignore this.

Xiang Kun didn’t expect his judgement to be so accurate. The next afternoon, when he was just out of his neighborhood, intending to visit a rabbit farm and buy some rabbits, he was surrounded by eight young men while waiting for his Didi ride. Who knew how long they had been squatting outside?

In fact, Xiang Kun noticed them before even leaving his community. If he wanted, he could have returned and left in another direction before they discovered him.

But he didn’t do so, and instead chose to walk out of his compound openly and deliberately let them see him.

Although he was not afraid of these people, it could be a bit troublesome if they suddenly showed up when he was with someone else, such as Chang Bin or Tang Baona.

So, since the tall skinny man couldn’t wait and came to ambush him that day, he would happily resolve this issue sooner.

Including the tall skinny man, six people surrounded Xiang Kun by the community wall, while two people turned their backs and gave threatening and warning looks to any curious passersby nearby.

Seeing this arrangement… It seemed like they were quite proficient in this illegal type of job huh?

Xiang Kun, who was pushed against the wall, couldn’t help but feel like laughing.

Thinking about it, he felt quite sentimental. If it had been him from over a month ago, he would have backed down as soon as he was confronted with such a situation.

But if he were still the Xiang Kun of the past, things like this would most likely never happen in the first place.

“What’s the matter?” Xiang Kun casually asked the tall skinny man. The tall skinny man was stunned. The reaction of this bald man was not as he expected…

The previous day, he was asked by his cousin to bring some people to make trouble in apartment 706. However, due to some unexpected events, he ended up getting beaten by the bald neighbor from apartment 708.

And the method of punishment was so humiliating. A grown man, being pinned to the ground and spanked?

He found out for the first time that being spanked could hurt so much?

Damn it, he even thought his tailbone was broken at that moment…

But compared to the pain he felt, the humiliation he suffered was even greater!

The three middle-aged women from yesterday weren’t random reinforcements, they were actual relatives from back home!

Although they said on the surface that they wouldn’t spread what happened yesterday, he knew too well that it would only be a matter of time before it gets out!

This whole thing was just so damn frustrating.

So, he actually started to inquire about the bald guy from room 708 last night, and first thing in the morning, he had people waiting outside the residential area, planning to get even!

He knew that this bald guy was very strong, so he deliberately invited more people, and among them, there were even some who were from the martial arts team of the sports school.

He had predicted many situations, such as the bald guy fighting back directly, or turning around to run away, admitting defeat if he couldn’t run, and even calling for help from the security guard at the distant entrance of the residential area, but he never expected the reality to be like this.

Why was this bald guy so calm?

“You…” The tall, skinny man opened his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say. He kind of wanted to start the fight, yet he also felt as if he had some things he needed to say.

The lanky man took a deep breath and finally gritted his teeth, “Do you know who I am? You dared to touch me yesterday?”

“I don’t care who you are, you threatened kids with a knife, don’t I have the right to spank you for that? Do you even feel aggrieved?” Xiang Kun looked at him and said.

Among the people surrounding Xiang Kun, a teenager who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with chestnut hair, a stud in his right ear, suddenly pulled a switchblade out of his pocket, clicked it open, and pressed it against Xiang Kun’s abdomen. He cocked his head and glared at him fiercely, “You dare to mess with Brother Dong? You think you’re so tough? Do you want to die? Do you want me to stab you in the stomach to let loose some air?” Xiang Kun met the gaze of the punk with the ear stud. He took a step forward with that switchblade pressing against his abdomen, paused for a second, and took another step forward.

For every step he took, the punk took a step backward.

The punk, who initially had the eyes of a fierce wolf, appeared somewhat bewildered, then flustered, then nervous, and finally lowered his gaze and even his head.

“Why don’t you try?” Xiang Kun’s voice was still calm.

But in reality, his attention was highly concentrated, his super sensory perception was pushed to the limit, closely watching the punk with the ear stud, closely watching these people surrounding him.

If this punk tried to make a move, he could dodge and control his wrists in an instant. The worst that could happen would be a minor cut, as his reflexes were much faster.

Moreover, he was also ready to cope with a situation where several people rushed at him at once.

But what was strange to him was that although the heartbeats of the people around him raced as if they were suddenly nervous, they did not make a move.

What was even stranger was the punk with the switchblade, his whole body’s muscles were so tense that he even began to tremble a little. His heartbeat was extremely fast, his breathing almost stagnant, and the smell of his body began to change, he began to sweat cold sweat.

He even wondered if this punk would suddenly drop dead from heart failure within the next half a minute.

Xiang Kun stopped staring at him, turned his eyes away, and walked away from the punk.

As soon as he moved away, an older man next to him snatched the switchblade from the punk’s hand, slapped the back of his head, and scolded, “Who the hell told you to pull out your knife…”

Seeing Xiang Kun looking over, the tall, thin man felt his throat dry, involuntarily blinking and out of instinct asked, “Bro…Bro, where are you from?”

The act of the punk whipping out the knife scared him, but Xiang Kun’s performance startled him even more.

If he thought the bald guy was merely a brute yesterday, those few seconds just now made it clear to him that this bald guy was definitely not an ordinary person..
