Chapter 918 - 917: Only Using the Left Hand
Chapter 918 - 917: Only Using the Left Hand
From ancient times to the present, beautiful girls have always caught people's attention, and girls with good figures are also eye-catching. Of course, girls who are both beautiful and have good figures attract even more attention.So, in fact, from the moment Chu Shiyao and Chu Ge entered the bar, they had already attracted a lot of attention.
Initially, most of these gazes were directed at Chu Shiyao, but soon someone recognized that Chu Ge was the inventor of "Endless Sea" and "Fleeting Clouds," and even more glances were thrown their way.
However, the people were apparently quite decent. Seeing Chu Ge drinking with a pretty girl, they were very conscious not to disturb them, at most giving them a friendly yet admiring look.
Afterward, when Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao left the bar, some patrons who particularly liked drinks and highly respected bartenders followed them out, wanting to greet Chu Ge and ask some questions about the drinks.
Unfortunately, before they could get close to Chu Ge, they witnessed a scene that made them consciously stand aside without disturbing. But when they saw a masked man seemingly wanting to confront Chu Ge, some of them couldn't stand by any longer.
Damn, are you kidding me? The master has already drunk so much, and this guy still wants to spar with the master? Isn't this taking advantage of someone's weakness?
"Master, what's going on here? Do you need any help?"
A young man who came by every day for "Fleeting Clouds" flicked his cigarette ash and shouted at Chu Ge.
Chu Ge turned his head and saw someone familiar, who seemed to be the same guy who laughed at him the most when he first started bartending there. He didn't expect to meet him again under such circumstances.
"It's nothing, we're old acquaintances, just playing around since we're in high spirits."
"Master, if anything happens, just call us for help, alright?"
"Haha, alright."
While Chu Ge exchanged these words with the young man, Chu Shiyao was a bit dazed. Then, she looked at Chu Ge with even more admiration.
She never knew Chu Ge had so many friends. It was like this when they went to "Waterside Paradise," and now it's the same at "Paradise Two." No matter where he goes, he seems to know people?
The same scene was observed by Wu Qing, making his eye twitch and leaving him somewhat astonished.
This guy Chu Ge... is he so fearless because if he got beaten, these people would stand up for him? Did he purposefully choose a bar he frequents just to set a trap for me?
Hmm... probably not, right?
These people look like ordinary folks; even if ten or eight of them came over, they wouldn't pose any real threat to me. Is Chu Ge planning to make me accidentally hurt them and blow things out of proportion?
This... doesn't seem right either?
The boss has already met Chu Ge, so Chu Ge must know how influential the boss is. Even if I injure a few clueless guys, with just one phone call, the boss can settle it instantly. What is this guy Chu Ge thinking?
The more Wu Qing thought, the less he understood, so he simply stopped thinking about it. With a cold snicker in his heart, regardless of what tricks Chu Ge played, he planned to settle things with Chu Ge today.
He really didn't believe that after drinking so much, and needing Chu Shiyao's support just to walk, Chu Ge could still be his match?
"Miss, please step aside a little. Although Mr. Chu and I are just sparring, it wouldn't be good if you accidentally got hit."
Chu Shiyao frowned, her expression full of hesitation. From what she heard from Chu Ge earlier, he seemed quite confident, but... how could that be possible?
"Oh, why am I such a nuisance to Brother Chu? I'm really such a big dummy!"
While Chu Shiyao was feeling frustrated inside, she heard Chu Ge's voice again in her ear.
"Yaoyao, just wait on the side for me. Since you're so reluctant to go back, I won't let him take you away."
Turning her head, Chu Shiyao was greeted by Chu Ge's hazy, drunken smile.
"Dear..."
Chu Ge smiled gently at Chu Shiyao and said, "Alright, be good. Didn't you say I'm the best man in the world? How could such a small matter trouble me?"
Feeling the strong confidence emanating from Chu Ge's drunken eyes, Chu Shiyao finally nodded, stepped back to the bar's entrance, faced Chu Ge, and made a cheering gesture.
By this time, there was already a large crowd at the bar entrance, some coming out from inside, others just arriving. Although such excitement was common at a bar, it never lacked an audience.
Chu Ge put his right hand behind his back and beckoned to Wu Qing with his left index finger, "Come on."
Wu Qing sneered, "Mr. Chu, then allow me to learn from you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Qing did not dash forward but instead squinted slightly and slowly approached Chu Ge.
Even though he thought Chu Ge was now no threat at all, just seeing Chu Ge's confidence and composure, added to the shadow Chu Ge cast over him yesterday, made him instinctively more cautious.
If he lost to Chu Ge again after Chu Ge had drunk so much, he really could find a hole to crawl into.
But is that possible? Wu Qing thought, of course not!
Five steps, four steps, three steps, two steps...
At this moment, Chu Ge staggered and burped drunkenly, with his eyelids drooping slightly. The always-forward Wu Qing suddenly shouted fiercely, lunging forward with a piercing step, and kicked fiercely at Chu Ge's calf.
The movement was simple, yet extremely swift and powerful. Since Chu Ge made him take a big fall in public yesterday, today he wanted Chu Ge to taste the same.
This kick seemed incredibly fierce, and a few people at the bar entrance who knew Chu Ge uttered a cry of surprise instinctively, especially Chu Shiyao, who tensed up and clenched her small fist even tighter.
Chu Ge hadn't even finished belching when he stumbled a couple of steps, dodging the kick with what seemed incredible luck.
Wu Qing snorted coldly to himself, thinking, "You're just lucky, kid." Without the slightest pause, he launched a fierce punch at Chu Ge's chest.
This punch had no fancy moves, just a simple straight punch. But in his view, simple and straightforward meant direct and effective, especially since the opponent was just a drunkard, right?
However, just as his punch was thrown, he saw Chu Ge sway off to the side, and with a simple upward lift of his left hand, lightly tapped his wrist, making his punch graze past the edge of Chu Ge's neck and hit the air.
"Damn!"
Wu Qing cursed in his heart, his right hand, which was slapped away, suddenly opened, changing from fist to palm as he swung a chop from above diagonally downwards, while raising his right leg.
Just as Wu Qing was preparing to knee and kick, he saw Chu Ge not retreating but advancing instead, closing in while exhaling the smell of alcohol, standing face to face with him, and giving him a drunk, sly grin.
Before his chop could land, Chu Ge pushed forward with his left hand. Though the force was not strong, it was enough to momentarily throw him off balance, causing him to retreat several steps.
Thankfully, there were no vases behind him this time. After a few steps back, Wu Qing steadied himself, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, looking at the lazy, swaying Chu Ge with high alert.
If the missed leg attack was mere luck, Chu Ge's subsequent actions clearly couldn't be explained by luck anymore.
Though Wu Qing clearly understood deep down, he still couldn't accept this fact. Even though Chu Ge was in such a state, only using his left hand, he still had no answer? Was he really that useless?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
"Dear! You're so handsome!"
"Whoa! Not only is the master an expert bartender, but he's also awesome at fighting?"
"Damn, it's a good thing I didn't make a move against the master earlier, otherwise I would've been beaten until even my mom couldn't recognize me."
On the other side, Chu Shiyao excitedly waved her hand, and a few people who had met Chu Ge joined in the discussion.
As these voices reached Wu Qing's ears, he twisted his neck and took a hurried breath, inching closer to Chu Ge once again.
Chu Ge still stood there confused and careless, his body swaying back and forth slightly, squinting his eyes at the approaching Wu Qing, covering his mouth with his right hand to stifle a long yawn, and beckoning to him with his left hand.
Wu Qing was completely infuriated; this was blatant disdain!
Unfortunately, anger and shame did not enhance Wu Qing's combat abilities. Time and again, he charged at Chu Ge, and time and again, Chu Ge casually deflected him to the side.
Chu Ge never hit hard, making it seem like he was just toying with Wu Qing, while spectators at the bar entrance burst into laughter watching Wu Qing stumble and stagger.
Someone started it, and soon people began rhythmically chanting, repeatedly calling "Master."
Wu Qing's face grew increasingly grim, the humiliation making his eyes nearly pop out. However, just as he didn't know how many times he charged at Chu Ge, Chu Ge finally grew impatient. He grabbed Wu Qing's oncoming fist and, using the punch's inertial force, flicked his wrist, throwing him over three meters away, landing on his buttocks.
Chu Ge stretched lazily, glancing at Wu Qing who was about to charge again, "Enough is enough. If you've got the energy, I don't. Do whatever you need to do. No matter how many times you come at me, the result will be the same."
Wu Qing's body froze, the fiery anger in his eyes gradually turning to defeat. He knew Chu Ge was right—no matter how Chu Ge was in this state, he was still no match for him, and no matter how reluctant he was, continuing to tangle with Chu Ge was meaningless.
If it doesn't work, it doesn't work; he really couldn't do it.
With his head raised, Wu Qing let out a long sigh and unclenched his tightly held fists. He accepted it, completely accepted it.
Step by step, he walked to Chu Ge's side, looking at him with complicated eyes, and asked a question—a question many others had asked Chu Ge before.
