Chapter 186: Backup

Kevin was left dumbfounded by the scene in front of him. Not even in his dreams had he ever anticipated that this would be the outcome of this confrontation.

The eight people that he brought around with him were usually quite skilled. While none of them was actually a very skilled fighter, still, they could easily handle ordinary people.

But now, each one of them had been taken down, with just a single strike from Michael. Additionally, the way that they were taken down was just too exaggerated.

He was not the only one who was in disbelief, as Alex and the others were experiencing the same. Neither of them had ever expected that Michael was this strong.

Even Dalton, despite his words that were previously filled with confidence, he understood that he would not be able to deal with eight people at the same time. He could take down two or three of them, but the others would easily overwhelm him.

But now, for the first time, he had seen someone that was younger than himself, easily taking down a group of grown men. Additionally, the incident where Michael pulled him back reminded him of the strength that Michael possessed.

It was not just strength, but from the way that he was fighting, Dalton could easily told that Michael was a skilled fighter.

This made him wonder, just how many skills did Michael possess? After all, for him to be that skilled at such a young age, was this what was referred to as a prodigy?

But even if that was the case, this was just too exaggerated. Who would dare to believe that someone this young possessed incredible skills that belonged to different fields?

Upon hearing Michael’s question, finally, Alex and the others came back to their senses. While feeling shocked, they still felt relieved.

If they really had to fight against all those eight, it would have been troublesome. After all, despite their determination, it was not as though they believed that they could easily take down this group of people.

They had an advantage in terms of numbers, but the gangsters were armed. That in itself was an advantage. Additionally, most of them had never engaged in fights like this. So of course, they were afraid.

As Michael stared at Kevin, he waited for his response. If he realized that this guy did not have any other backup plan, Michael just beat him up, then leave.

But if there was any backup that this guy had planned, Michael would deal with it this instant. Of course, at the moment, he was prepared.

Even though he possessed little information on the Green family, he understood that they were linked with the underworld. So, there was a great possibility that there would be a gun that would be involved in this fight.

If Kevin tried to pull out a gun, Michael would have to take him down before he could use it. After all, behind Michael were Alex and the others.

Michael might be able to dodge before Kevin pulled the trigger, but the trajectory of the bullet would not change. If it coincidentally hit someone behind him, it could be fatal.

Kevin on the other hand, after a moment of shock, he finally regained his senses. Still, despite the shock in his heart, he tried not to show it on his face, despite having already shown it before.

“What? You think that this is all the preparation that I made? Then if you think so, then you are naive. I knew that within this group, there was a good fighter.

It is just that I had not anticipated that the fighter would not be that brute Dalton, but instead, you. But I don’t mind. In any case, someone here can deal with you.” Kevin spoke, as he tried to bolster his confidence.

Michael raised his brows slightly at Kevin’s words. At the same time, he gazed in the direction that Kevin was looking at.

As he gazed in that direction, his sensitive sense of hearing picked up the sound of footsteps approaching. From the way that the other person was walking, Michael realized something.

This guy was not just an ordinary goon. Instead, it seemed that this guy had actually managed to find a skilled fighter. Still, no matter how good the fighter was, how could they be better than him?

So, Michael simply looked in the direction with some slight interest in his eyes.

As for Alex and the others, they were dumbfounded upon hearing that Kevin had actually prepared a contingency plan.

Just how determined was this guy to deal with Michael? He had already brought eight people who were all armed. But apart from them, he had prepared for something else?

And as they gazed in the direction that Kevin was looking at, they noticed that someone was approaching. And as they got a clear look at the person’s appearance, shock appeared on their faces.

The person that was approaching had a medium frame and about head, with green eyes. And as he approached, he had a formidable presence, something that made even Dalton feel afraid of directly confronting him.

But this was not something that shocked them. Instead, what really shocked them was the fact that they could recognize this person.

“You actually managed to get Beetle to work for you?!” Alex could not help but exclaim.

Alex’s shock was shared by Raymond and the others. After all, none of them had expected that the backup plan that Kevin had made was actually inviting Beetle.

This was a formidable fighter. Previously, in his fight against Dave, he had managed to win. Even though at first, it looked as though he was being suppressed, but at the end of it all, he was able to win, with slight injuries.

This was the very same person that had made them win, when Michael claimed that he would. But, it was just unexpected for them that Beetle would be acquainted with Kevin.

Seeing the shock on Alex’s and others’ faces, Kevin felt thrilled. This kind of feeling, it was just exhilarating for him.

It was just that, all the excitement that he was feeling disappeared when he looked at Michael. It seemed that apart from a slight surprise, Michael did not have much of a reaction to Beetle’s appearance.

And as he gazed at him, it seemed that Michael was murmuring something. As for what it was, due to the distance of over 20 meters between them, Kevin could not tell.

Regardless, despite the fact that Michael was not shocked, Kevin was not afraid. With Beetle here, he believed that he would be able to make sure that Michael suffered.

As Beetle went ahead and stood next to Kevin, he gazed at Michael with a calm gaze. But if one looked deep into those eyes, they could see that there were some complication and hesitation within.

This was something that Michael easily noticed. After all, the human insight skill at the expert level was not just for show. And from the looks of it, Michael could tell that this guy did not seem to be doing this willingly.

Maybe he was being forced by Kevin’s family, or maybe being forced by circumstances. Still, he did not do anything, as he waited for something.

As for Beetle, as he stood next to Kevin, while gazing at Michael, their eyes met. And as they did, he could not help but feel a sight chill running down his spine.

At the same time, his 6th sense began warning him. It seemed, clashing with this guy was actually dangerous?

This was something that brought him great shock. He had not anticipated that this young man would actually pose some danger to him.

Of course, he had observed the battle between Michael and the eight that had attacked before. If he was in Michael’s place, he had to admit, he would not have been able to efficiently deal with them as Michael did.

At least, he would not be able to take them out with a single attack each time. Instead, it might take two or three attacks to be able to take one down.

But even then, Beetle was not intimidated. Due to his sixth sense, he raised his guard, and dared not to underestimate this young man in front of him.

It was just that, there was something that puzzled him. Michael had only glanced at him for a little bit, before he seemed to focus on something else.

At the moment, he was scrolling something on the smartwatch on his wrist. As for what it was that he was doing, Beetle could not tell.

As for himself, he initially planned to come over and deal with this kid as fast as possible. But now, he was cautious. He was not going to act recklessly. He had to do things strategically.

He liked studying his opponents first, before confronting them. But unfortunately this time, he did not have that chance. After all, he had not anticipated that something like this, that was just supposed to be simple, was going to be complicated.

And as he observed Michael, a few seconds went by, and it seemed that Michael had noticed something while scrolling through his smartwatch.

“What are you waiting for? If you want the money, then go ahead and beat up that punk for me. If possible, break one of his legs. No, if possible, break one leg and one hand. I think that should be enough to be able to teach this punk not to mess with me.” Kevin, irritated by Michael’s ignorance of his presence, immediately looked at Beetle before he ordered.
