He stepped forward and planted himself in front of Jiang Hao, staring down at him with a sneer.

“Kid, you’ve got some nerve. How about we take this conversation over there?”

He nodded towards the back field as he spoke.

Jiang Hao was unfazed by their intimidation.

He gave the guy a quick look and then turned to Little Fat.

“Little Fat, head back to the classroom. I’m going to give these jerks a lesson in manners.”

Jiang Hao’s bold declaration caught the onlookers by surprise.

“No way, did I hear that right?”

“Man, kids these days. Get them riled up and they act without thinking!”

“Impulsiveness is a devil, indeed!”

……

It was clear to everyone that a fight was brewing.

But Jiang Hao’s response left them even more stunned.

They all doubted Jiang Hao, thinking he must have lost his mind.

Yet, Jiang Hao’s words only made the five of them laugh even harder.

“Haha, pretty brave. I hope you can keep up that arrogance when it’s go-time!”

Little Fat’s face was etched with concern, and he was kicking himself inside.

Why did I have to say anything?

“Brother Hao, don’t go. We can handle this right here. Let’s see what they can do to me!”

Finally, Little Fat found his courage and spoke up.

“And if anyone’s going, it should be me!”

Hearing this, Jiang Hao looked at Little Fat with newfound respect.

But that didn’t mean he was about to let Little Fat go and negotiate with these guys.

He was confident and fearless, not worried about taking on the five of them. But Little Fat? He’d likely end up on the losing end.

Jiang Hao smiled and gave Little Fat a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

“Don’t worry about it. You go on back to the classroom.”

With that, he turned and strode towards the back field.

The five guys exchanged glances, astonishment written all over their faces.

“Heh, seems we’ve come across a hot-headed youngster!”

Just then, Little Fat was gearing up to follow after him.

Suddenly, two members of the quintet who had cut in line stepped forward, positioning themselves in front of Little Fat.

They exchanged knowing smiles before addressing Little Fat.

“Kid, you’ve got someone to stand up for you today, so we’ll give you a pass—for now.”

With that, the towering leader glanced at Jiang Hao, who was heading toward the back field, and gestured to his four companions.

“Come on, guys. Let’s go take care of our little friend here. We wouldn’t want to keep him waiting.”

Upon hearing this, Little Fat’s anxiety spiked.

Nearby, onlookers queuing at the snack shop watched Jiang Hao and the five depart, and began to comment.

“Man, that kid’s acting rash!”

“Exactly, it’s five against one. How can he possibly take them on?”

“Hopefully, he’ll be okay…”

……

The crowd murmured among themselves, yet not a single person showed any intention of stepping in to help.

Little Fat was on the verge of tears in his desperation.

Then, an idea struck him, and his face lit up with relief.

“Right, back to the classroom—I need to get my classmates!”

Once Little Fat had this realization, he cast one last worried glance toward the sports field, then, with resolve, he bolted.

Forgetting all about his popsicle, he dashed to the teaching building to rally backup.

……

Jiang Hao arrived at the secluded spot on the back field, free from the watchful eyes of any surveillance, and waited calmly for the five to approach.

It wasn’t long before they swaggered over, smirks plastered across their faces, encircling Jiang Hao.
