Chapter 1239: Chapter 707: Testing the Waters_2

"Just follow me and once we’re in M-country, you’ll live lavishly, eating and drinking the best," baldy boasted shamelessly.

The woman chose to ignore him completely this time, giving no response.

Since his birth, baldy had never encountered someone who showed such disregard for him; if there were any, he had made them submit through beating.

"Damn woman, don’t reject the face given to you. It’s your good fortune that I fancy you!"

"Do you want this meal or not?"

Baldy, furious and embarrassed, shifted from flattering to threatening in his tone.

The woman remained silent, her gaze on baldy calm and somewhat icy.

The people around quietly watched the scene unfold, some with sympathy, others indifferent, and a few relishing the drama.

"Ah, I’m so full!"

Just as baldy thought about making a move, Qin Yuan belched loudly, breaking the silence.

"Let me tell everyone—"

Qin Yuan stood up, glanced at baldy, and continued, "The person in charge here mentioned that tonight they will let us go outside to get some fresh air."

Everyone turned their attention to Qin Yuan upon hearing this.

"Really?"

"That’s great, I was about to suffocate!"

"Exactly, it’s stifling and smelly in here, I might get lice soon."

"If only we could take a bath, that would be even better—"

"..."

Inside the cabin, everyone was extremely excited, expressing their feelings.

"Of course, if anyone doesn’t follow the rules and disturbs the peace, they’ll stay in here until we dock, no going out—"

Qin Yuan said this while staring directly at baldy.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Did I break any rules?"

Baldy asked back-to-back, his voice loud, but upon closer thought, he was intimidated.

Yes, he was caught in Qin Yuan’s trap.

"Hey, don’t get me wrong, you haven’t, but if I say you have, then you have."

"You damn—"

Before baldy could finish cursing, Qin Yuan raised a finger and shook it, "Don’t swear in front of me."

Baldy instantly shut his mouth.

This time, Qin Yuan had almost rubbed baldy’s face into the ground.

The onlookers chuckled at the scene.

"Kid, you’ve ruined my plans twice, today you’ll learn what happens when you cross me!"

Baldy knew that if he backed down this time, he really couldn’t raise his head in front of these people anymore.

Baldy, furious, confronted Qin Yuan, "Kneel down and apologize right now, and I’ll pretend nothing happened!"

Instead of intervening, Brother Shan and a few companions just stood there watching.

"What’s with this dog not kept on a leash, biting people around, aren’t you afraid of being stewed?"

Qin Yuan ignored baldy and said flatly.

"You damn brat, really ungrateful."

As baldy was about to strike,

"Ever watched a movie?"

Qin Yuan suddenly asked.

"What?"

Caught off-guard by the abrupt change of topic, baldy was momentarily baffled. "In most movies, the villain dies because they talk too much."

Qin Yuan finished speaking and unexpectedly struck baldy, slapping him across the face.

"Bang!"

Baldy couldn’t dodge in time and was sent sprawling to the ground, his head spinning, nearly passing out.

Seeing this, Brother Shan and the others involuntarily flinched.

And the crowd around also widened their eyes, incredulous as they stared at Qin Yuan.

Baldy was about 5’7" tall and slightly overweight, easily weighing 160 lbs, yet Qin Yuan had dealt with him with just a slap.

Baldy shook his head, then quickly got up and moved away from Qin Yuan by about two meters.

"You, you sneak attacked me!"

Baldy touched his swollen face and stubbornly said.

Qin Yuan’s lips curled into a smile as he walked towards baldy.

"What are you trying to do?"

Baldy stepped back in fear, "Don’t come any closer!"

Hearing this, Qin Yuan stopped, smiling, "Was your step back just now serious?"

Baldy paused, then his face turned beet red; this was truly humiliating.

"Come on, baldy, you chickened out just like that?"

Black Bear called from behind.

Baldy was truly intimidated; the slap from Qin Yuan wasn’t something just anyone could execute.

From this, it was evident that Qin Yuan’s combat ability was far superior to his own.

The bald guy might not be very bright, but he was definitely not about to willingly lose face by fighting a battle he knew he couldn’t win.

"Kid, we’ll see about that!"

Baldy dropped a fierce line and skulked back into his group.

"So lame～"

Baldy backed down and Qin Yuan felt a bit bored for a moment.

"Let me remind everyone, if you want to get there safely, just keep it cool and don’t start trouble!"

After saying this, Qin Yuan turned and sat down in his spot.

"Baldy, what’s the matter with you? You chickened out just like that?"

As soon as he got back to the group, Scarface asked.

Baldy glanced at him and responded with swagger, "What do you know? That kid is fast and strong. If I don’t chicken out, should I keep getting beaten up by him?"

"Baldy, I despise you!"

Black Bear said, even flipping him the bird.

"If you think you can do better, then go ahead!"

Baldy didn’t feel ashamed but retorted boldly.

"Heh, fine, I’ll take him on. I want to see what this kid’s really capable of!"

As a natural brawler, Black Bear was never one to back down.

"Black Bear."

Shange held him back with a hand and shook his head.

"We’ve already achieved our goal. There’s no need to complicate things before we get off the ship."

"Baldy’s right. The kid does have some skills. When we get off the ship, we’ll follow him and when we find a secluded place, we’ll all jump him!"

"Shange, do we really need to go to all this trouble? I can take this kid down myself!"

Black Bear said scornfully.

"Can you take down Baldy all by yourself?"

Shange countered.

"Could give it a try."

After a moment of thought, Black Bear answered seriously.

"Try my ass, get lost!"

Baldy was not about to back down in front of Black Bear.

"Ling Yu, what do you think about the kid’s skills?"

Shange asked Ling Yu.

"Just like Baldy said, he’s got speed and strength. As for skills, it’s hard to tell right now."

"But just having strength and speed can already win half the battle."

"After all, in the world of martial arts, nothing is indestructible, only speed is unbeatable. If the speed is supreme, even a drop of water can kill a person."

Upon hearing this, everyone became thoughtful.

"Are you guys overestimating him too much? Talking like he’s that formidable? What, are you all scared?"

Black Bear couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Black Bear, even a lion uses its full strength when hunting a rabbit. We’re fighting, not competing in martial arts. We just need to take down the opponent by any means necessary."

"That’s why I’m saying all this so that when the time comes to jump him, everyone needs to strike hard and not hold back."

Shange’s principle was to ensure stability—if you can take someone down at once, then do it without dragging it out in a foolish drawn-out fight.

"Thanks, you helped us again."

A woman with a small girl came over to Qin Yuan and bowed in thanks.

"Don’t get me wrong, I had no intention of helping you. I was just giving you a piece of good news."

Qin Yuan immediately distanced himself from any relationship.

He was on a mission right now and didn’t want to entangle himself in any trouble.

Qin Yuan knew this woman was not simple, at least her face bore traces of the Face-changing Technique.

Though it looked natural, Qin Yuan saw it as a very simple use of the technique.

Otherwise, Baldy wouldn’t have thought she was the most beautiful among them, mainly because it didn’t completely mask her true face.

"Whether it was intentional or not, we still want to thank you."

The woman insisted stubbornly.

"Whatever."

Qin Yuan shrugged indifferently.

With that, the cabin finally quieted down, remaining peaceful until 10 at night.

"Clang!"

It was the sound of the cabin door being unlocked.

"Everyone, come out. Let’s get some fresh air, and I’ve got some good news for you."

As Old Zhang opened the door, he immediately began speaking.

"More good news?"

Everyone perked up their ears.

"You can all go take a bath as well."

"Wow, that’s great!"

Several young women exclaimed excitedly.
