Seeing that Li Du and Shawn were about to fight, the car racers got excited .
Someone came forward to organize the crowd of spectators . He told them to take a few
steps backwards, and a fighting arena was drawn up . Another person shouted, "Place
your bets, place your bets" and took out an IPad to make records .
The youths participated enthusiastically:
"I'm betting on Shawn, five hundred dollars!"
"I'm putting my bet on that Chinese buddy, he knows Kungfu!"
"Hey, Chinaman, you must win, I bet eight hundred dollars on you!"
Li Du took off his jacket and assumed his combat position . Then he wriggled his index
finger, taunting Shawn, and said, "Sure, if you want to die, I will bury you . Don't blame
others for your death . "
Shawn glared at him menacingly, taking slow steps in his direction . Then he aimed a
punch at Li Du .
Shawn's punch was meant to test Li Du . It was a 'pathfinder' move in boxing . Although
the punch looked strong, its purpose was just to test the opponent's reaction for speed
and power, and help Shawn plan his next moves in the fight .
However, Li Du did not leave him any chance for that .
With Time Deceleration, Li Du moved quickly . First, he avoided Shawn's fist . As Shawn
raised his right arm, Li Du took the opportunity to punch Shawn's exposed right armpit .
Punching Shawn with his right fist, he wrapped his left arm around Shawn's neck and
forced him down . Then, raising his leg, Li Du gave Shawn a powerful kick with his knee .
Slam! "Ah, f*ck!"
With a muffled scream, Shawn held his face in both hands and staggered down . Li Du
hesitated for a moment and sent a flying kick after him .
Shawn called out in pain again . Then, he fell onto the sand and could not stand up
again for a while .
The surrounding youths were just about to cheer, but their voices went mute . Many of
them were stunned . "This, this… this, that's it?"
The guy who had been holding onto the IPad collecting bets was even more shocked .
He had yet to close the bets and the fight was already over .
Li Du picked up the jacket that he had thrown down onto the sand . Looking at Shawn,
he said, "Hey, buddy, don't pretend to be dead . Come, come, time to begin your nude
walk!"
Shawn was still recovering from the kick . He sprawled on the sand for some time before
he regained his consciousness .
When he came to his senses, he realized that he could not get up . He pretended to
have fainted from the fight and remained resting on the beach, not moving .
He knew that if he really walked around the beach without any clothes on, he would be
the laughing stock of the city . He could forget about making a living on the streets .
However, Li Du did not want to let him off just like that . Like he had said earlier, that
bastard brought this upon himself, and now it was too late for regret .
Li Du walked over and kicked Shawn . Frowning, Li Du said, "Come on, stop acting, get
up now . "
Shawn did not move an inch and continued to act as if he had fainted from the blows .
Luckily for him, Shawn had a good relationship with other racers . He had some friends .
Seeing what had just happened, a red Ferrari drove over, its engine roaring . A
bystander said, "This is getting interesting . Is Land Leopard Caddy Lent here?"
A few moments later, a blonde youth got out of a car . He walked to Li Du's side and
said, "Alright, buddy, you've won . He has fainted . Give me some face . Consider this the
end of it . "
Li Du stopped smiling . "Do we know each other? Why should I give you face?"
That caused the bystanders to erupt into laughter . "Caddy, there's no use for your face
now . "
The blonde youth was riled up by Li Du's words . The mocking from the bystanders
made him even angrier .
He was just about to lash out but stopped short when he saw Li Du's left arm . His angry
face instantly morphed into a smile .
Caddy grinned and grabbed onto Li Du's shoulder . He said, "Indeed, we do not know
each other . Now let us make an introduction . My name is Cade Lent, leader of Miami's
Land Leopard Car Racing team . Pleased to meet you . "
Li Du exchanged a handshake with Caddy . However, as Caddy had grabbed onto Li Du
with his right arm, he stuck out his left hand . Hence, Li Du could only reach out his left
hand for the handshake . "
That was unacceptable in regular settings . However, that was not an issue in street
culture .
Caddy eyed Li Du's left wrist before he broke the handshake . Then, he walked over to
Shawn and kicked him . "Get up . "
Shawn had been peeping through partially closed eyelids . Seeing that Caddy had
arrived, he thought that help was finally at hand . Hence, Shawn obeyed and stood up .
In a low voice, Shawn said awkwardly, "Big boss Lent . "
Caddy's face darkened and he said, "You have the audacity to call me big boss . Does
Land Leopard have a useless deadweight like you? You should admit your loss . Go, run
along the beach naked . "
Hearing that, Shawn was dumbfounded .
That was not what he had expected . Shawn had thought that Caddy Lent smoothed the
matter over with Li Du .
Shocked, Shawn asked without thinking, "Boss Lent, what are you saying?"
Caddy responded impatiently, "Are you deaf? I told you to go and run along the beach
naked . Hurry! You should do as you said and admit defeat . Go!"
Shawn was on the verge of breaking down . He called out, "No, Big Lent, I can't do
that…"
"Shut up!" Caddy interrupted him . He waved his hands and pushed Shawn . "Don't be a
sissy . There are no weaklings in Land Leopard . If you want to stay in the team, man up
and stick to your word!"
Shawn was in a dilemma . In the end, he had no choice . He removed his pants and ran
along the beach with a dead look on his face .
The crowd laughed and cheered . There were more people watching now, and they
whipped out their phones to record the moment .
Caddy returned to chat with Li Du . He appeared to be very hospitable and warm, as
though they had become good friends .
Li Du had formed a good impression of Caddy . Although he was Shawn's boss, he had
not sided with his underling . He acted fairly .
After a while, Caddy started to shift the conversation to the topic of watches . In a casual
tone, he asked, "I noticed just now that you are wearing a Patek Philippe watch . Where
did it come from?"
Hearing that, Li Du recalled how Caddy looked at his wrist previously . He understood
right away what Caddy must be thinking .
The fellow must have recognized his watch and was interested in it . No wonder he was
so warm towards Li Du and even helped him punish Shawn .
Although he now understood Caddy's motives, he did not let it show . Li Du replied
blandly, "Oh, this . I'm involved in warehouse auctions . I got it at a warehouse last year .
As I did not have a watch, I kept this one . "
Caddy nodded, "I see . I once had a Patek Philippe watch just like this one . However, I
happened to lose it . It was a gift from my late uncle . "
Saying that, Caddy shook his head again, wearing a look of melancholy .
Li Du patted his shoulder . "Cheer up . Sorry that my watch brought up sad memories . "
Caddy responded, "It's okay . I have gotten over his death . But I just wanted to take the
liberty to ask, if I offer you a good price, could you sell this watch to me?"
He went on, sighing, "Every time I remember how I lost my uncle's gift, I feel sad . I'm
sure you understand . "
It was just as Li Du had guessed . He smiled and asked, "How much are you willing to
pay?"
Caddy said, "The price of a high-end Patek Philippe watch is around one hundred
thousand US dollars . I am not poor, brother, I can give you one hundred thousand!"
Just as he said that, he shook his head . "No! Since you are here, it shows that you are a
car lover . I can give you a good car, my favorite sports car!"
Caddy pointed behind him, at the red sports car that he had arrived in .
