Turning to face the source of the noise, Gerald and Raine were immediately greeted by the sight of two groups of people—wielding various kinds of weapons—intimidatingly marching toward each other. It was evident that they were about to engage in a group fight…!
Upon seeing how bad the situation was, the stall owners and customers immediately began packing up to flee, not wanting to get dragged into their fight.
Even the old couple and their daughter were panicking, and they were already halfway through packing their stall up by the time Gerald and Raine turned back to look at them.
Raising a slight brow, Gerald was prompted to ask, “Who are those people, boss?”
Hearing that, the old woman hastily replied, “They’re this area’s gangsters, and once they start fighting, they don’t care about anyone else’s lives! Just so you know, some people got dragged into their mess the last time something like this happened, so you’d better run while you can! Keep the money and consider it to be our treat!”
Naturally, Gerald was surprised to hear that. To think that these gangsters would actually duke it out in such a public area!
Regardless, though the family of three were able to finish packing and were already leaving with their cart, they had barely been able to take a few steps when the hooligans began fighting!
As the old lady had said, these people really didn’t seem to care about the wellbeing of others once they started fighting. After all, they were extremely fierce and fought like there was no tomorrow…
With ‘crashing’ and ‘clanging’ all over the place, it truly was a chaotic sight to behold…
All of a sudden, Gerald and Raine watched as a hulking and intimidating-looking bald man—who seemed to be one of the group leaders—ran over to the old couple’s stall and grabbed a ladle before rushing back to face the opposing group!
Of course, the family of three did nothing to stop him. After all, they were frightened stiff!
At that moment, something incredibly fast bolted past everyone’s view… and a split second later, the bald man gave out a pained cry!
Upon closer inspection, his arm seemed to have been jabbed by a toothpick of all things!
With blood starting to gush out from the wound, everyone could only stare, stupefied.
While they now knew what the weapon had been, nobody knew who had tossed the toothpick.
Just as they were wondering about that, Gerald stood up before casually yelling, “Hey, now! If you b*stards want to fight so much, why not find someplace a little more vacant? Choosing such a public place to have a group fight… What’ll happen if you harm others? Huh?”
Upon hearing that, the bald man and his gang members instantly fixed their gazes onto Gerald. To think that this person would actually dare to confront them at a time like this!
Even those from the opposing faction were now looking over, both groups momentarily too stupefied to resume their fight…
