Sky-cracking Rider

Chapter 379 Section 375 - Study Hard

"It's him, he drove the Magical Beast to attack me!"

The burly man, in front of two police officers, pointed at Chen Fei.

"Hey! You ..."

Just as Pu Aihua was about to speak up in defense, Chen Fei reached out to stop her and shook his head, saying, "Old Piao, you don't need to say anything more, leave everything to me, rest assured, I can handle this!"

"Are you sure? That guy is no easy target."

Pu Aihua looked worried.

Ever since her daughter had been admitted to this hospital room, the guy taking care of the patient in the next bed had been nothing but trouble, though he hadn't resorted to physical violence, his foul language and petty actions were relentless; he was quite the bully and could be a professional hooligan or some lowlife, just not a decent person.

Although they listened to the muscular man's exaggerated complaints, the two police officers appeared rather calm. One of them politely said to Chen Fei, "Please show some form of identification, thank you!"

The other officer took out his phone and began to identify the Little Bird on the girl's hand.

The two officers weren't fools; they had received a call, but by judging the demeanor of the muscular man and Chen Fei, they could guess what was going on. No matter who was in the right, following procedure was always correct.

The identification of Xiao Jiu's species was quickly completed.

Even with an added crest, the identification module correctly recognized the species as the Pure Light Sparrow, and the leg ring served as another form of identification.

This was a registered Magical Beast, which had no issues with its paperwork and was free to move and work within human society, enjoying the basic rights of Intelligent Species and legal protection.

In other words, if anyone tried to slap Xiao Jiu, the police officers could immediately cuff the perpetrator and, depending on the severity, arrange a vacation behind bars.

"Huh!"

The officer looking at the phone's identification result couldn't help but twitch his facial muscles a few times, after repeatedly confirming the information, he put away his phone.

As his colleague finished checking Chen Fei's identification, the two officers exchanged information, and the officer returning the ID to Chen Fei said leisurely, "So, Mr. Cui, are you sure you want to report this supernatural power user for commanding his Pure Light Sparrow to attack you?"

When identifying someone online, some basic information is always retrieved, especially for Ability Users; while their Rank may not be visible, a special mark is always there.

"Of course, I ... wait, special ability user?"

The muscular man suddenly realized what was happening, looking incredulously at the two police officers and finally his gaze landed on Chen Fei, his eyes nearly bulging out.

This guy, who looked completely harmless, was an ability user?!

So, if he was an ability user, why didn't he use his powers to deal with me instead of having his Magical Beast do it? He couldn't figure it out.

"Heh heh!"

Chen Fei responded with a cold laugh.

If you're not convinced, come and hit me!

The last few who thought to do so not only don't have grass over their graves now, they don't even have graves.

"You two should negotiate and settle things here on the spot!"

The two police officers had reached an agreement on how to handle the situation and had no intention of arresting anyone.

To be detained for such a trivial matter was simply unnecessary.

Come on! The police station also has to deal with expenses like kimchi and rice with public funds, just hanging up on the heater 24 hours a day, what's the point?

The muscular man protested angrily, "No, no, it's not like that, even ability users can't act so arrogantly!"

He didn't call the police over just for them to muddy the waters.

The muscleman from the daytime hospital room led a bunch of big guys wearing sunglasses. They poured out of two vans, wielding various kinds of sticks like flails, baseball bats, rolling pins, wardrobe rods, and perhaps even mop sticks, a motley crew if there ever was one.

It really made one wonder how exactly they planned to 'chop' someone with sticks. Anyway, as soon as they pointed at Chen Fei, they charged over howling, brainless for sure—they mustn't have brought their brains with them!

Perhaps, it was a local custom?

"Old Piao, I'll warm up some... wine..."

Chen Fei set down the beer bottle he was clinking with Pu Aihua and, like a gust of wind, dashed out.

In the midst of a ruckus, Old Piao's hand hadn't even set down his bottle when Chen Fei had already laid all the uninvited guests flat on their backs. Their various sticks—woody, plastic, metal—were all snapped on the spot, tossed all over the place.

The few tables of customers who were eating in Old Piao's restaurant, still hesitant about whether to leave, now only saw people sprawled all over the ground, groaning, starting to suspect they had run into a train.

"...No, it should have been ice wine. Come on, bottoms up!"

Chen Fei rushed back in a hurry to correct his slip of the tongue, which to him, was the most important thing.

Clang, two large green bottles clinked together.

"They..."

Pu Aihua didn't know what to say, but he also recognized the ringleader.

Are these people here to make a joke?

"Ah! The stewed dog meat is ready!"

Old Piao's wife walked out of the shop holding a steaming pot of dog meat stew, only to see the indescribable scene spread all over the ground and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, oh my, why are there so many people lying on the ground?"

The group had fallen too quickly, catching the matron by surprise. What's going on with these people? Were they here to pull a scam?

"Small scene, don't worry about it, quickly go and take Little Hui her meal!"

Old Piao thought of his daughter still in the hospital room and, with a wave of his hand, irritably ushered his wife to hurry off.

The couple were taking turns looking after their daughter, running back and forth between the restaurant and the hospital, delivering meals by turns.

Now that their daughter's health was much improved and she needed to strengthen her nutrition, he had stewed a rooster that didn't like to study and had failed its exams, adding a stick of Goryeo Ginseng and a few slices of Angelica Sinensis, a full large jar of it, nourishing both qi and blood.

"These people, they... they're alright, aren't they?"

Setting down the pot of dog meat, Old Piao's wife fidgeted nervously with her hands.

The head of the family and Little Chen were eating meat and drinking large swigs of wine, as if nothing had happened, but she still felt something was off.

"Go on, go on, nothing to do with you!"

The machismo-driven Old Piao waved her off impatiently.

This naive woman, so unsophisticated, what's there to see in a bunch of little thugs beaten down?

No matter how tough the little thugs, could they compare to the horrors of the mutants in the Xingdu Kush Mountain Area?

Old Piao might not have made much money over the years, but at least he had seen some big scenes.

Who knows who called the cops, but the flashing police lights slowly drew nearer and further away.

At least eighteen cameras on the street were all pointing at these unlucky kids, working traffic lights blinking away.

Anyway, Old Piao never saw the ringleader again after that.
