Inside the venue, the only sound was Wong Ming's hisses of pain as he gasped for air.
Everyone was dumbstruck. Staring at the icy expression on Xu Ke's face, no one had anticipated that he would make a move.
Hitting Xie Jinhua would have been one thing. After all, everyone knew he had struck first, making Xu Ke's counterattack justifiable. But now, Wong Ming had merely taunted him and thrown away his invitation. For that, Xu Ke had lashed out with his leg and sent the man flying. Such audacity was simply astounding!
After her initial shock, Lin Yu's face showed a mix of fear and gratitude. She understood what Xu Ke meant by "repaying a debt." It meant delivering a kick to Wong Ming as payback for the slap he had given her. For someone of her low status, Xu Ke was willing to offend the Xie Family—how could she not be moved?
