Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 328: Chapter 327 Are you sure you want me to perform on stage?

The crowd cheered, and numerous girls waved their hands excitedly, shouting as if they wished they could run up on stage to sing along.

”Great!” the lead singer said with a face full of pride, ”Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I’ll just pick someone at random.”

His gaze fell directly on Hu Xiexie as he smiled and said, ”Let’s choose this beauty then. Congratulations to you, beautiful!”

All eyes in the audience also landed on Hu Xiexie, as the band members exchanged knowing smiles, aware that the lead singer was on the hunt again.

Lead singer Chen Rui was handsome, sang well, talented, and wealthy. Using this move, he never failed in his pursuits and had never failed to get the girl he wanted. The most classic instance had been at a concert in a third-tier city, where he ended up wooing three girls at once, and they all spent the night with him, earning him the title of a Casanova.

Seeing the way Chen Rui was looking at Hu Xiexie, everyone knew that this girl couldn’t escape. However, she was far prettier than any other girl the lead singer had encountered before. With such a beauty, it wasn’t only Chen Rui who was envious, but also the rest of the band!

”Me?” Hu Xiexie was taken aback.

”Yes, you!” Chen Rui laughed, ”You shouted with such enthusiasm just now, it seems like you’re very familiar with our songs, so come on and sing one with us!”

While speaking, Chen Rui tried to put on his most charming smile, making the lovesick girls in the audience even more infatuated, each of them screaming out loud.

”Oh my god, he’s so handsome, how can there be such a handsome man in this world!”

”That’s what you call a real man, the rest are just male animals!”

”He’s so handsome, so handsome, Chen Rui, how can you be this handsome!”

”I’m going to go crazy, why didn’t he ask me to sing?”

The cheers and screams of these people made Chen Rui even more proud. This move had never failed him; what girl could resist his smile?

”Are you sick?” Hu Xiexie suddenly replied, ”When did I ever show enthusiasm? Which of your songs am I familiar with? Are you blind?”

The crowd instantly fell silent, looking at Hu Xiexie in bewilderment. What did this mean? Chen Rui invites you, and you don’t give face?

Chen Rui was also stunned; he had never encountered such a situation before. What girl wasn’t charmed by his words and smile? What was going on today? Hu Xiexie not only refused to go on stage but also berated him, leaving him suffocating with his face turning red.

”You... you...” Chen Rui was extremely furious, but in front of so many people, it was not appropriate to make a scene.

He took a deep breath and forced a smile, ”Oh, maybe I heard wrong, sorry about that. How about this, let’s have the handsome guy next to you come up and do a duet, how about that?”

In Chen Rui’s view, since Su Yang was close to Hu Xiexie, her unwillingness to get on stage must be because of Su Yang. By inviting Su Yang, he intended to embarrass him in front of everyone and recover his own image.

Singing, in that regard, Chen Rui feared no one!

Su Yang, of course, saw right through Chen Rui’s intentions and responded with a cold laugh, ”Not interested!”

With that, the venue burst into uproar once again.

”Hey, you two have gone too far. Brother Rui personally invites you, and you won’t get on stage; do you really think so highly of yourselves?”

”What’s the big deal? Brother Rui graciously invited you guys, and that’s because he respects you. What are you acting so haughty for?”

”Who knows where this uncouth brute came from, do you not understand manners? Do you not know what quality is? Brother Rui invited you so politely, and this is your attitude?”

”Get out! Get out!”

The fangirls were yelling incessantly, as if they couldn’t wait to gang up and attack Su Yang and his friends.

Chen Rui was smiling, this was exactly the effect he wanted.

”It’s fine, going on stage to sing is just for fun and entertainment, it’s not a competition, there’s no need to feel pressured!” Chen Rui said with a smile, ”Even if you don’t sing well, everyone here is from Nanluo City, who would laugh at you? After all, not everyone can be talented. But if you don’t make an effort, that would be your fault!”

The crowd began to clamor even more fiercely, when suddenly one girl said, ”Look at the clothes he’s wearing, they’re from some Martial Arts Club. Oh my, so he’s a sports student, no wonder he’s reluctant to go on stage. Those sports department brutes, all brawn and no brains, asking them to sing is like getting an old ox to play the piano, it’s like forcing a duck onto a perch!”

”Hahaha...” The crowd laughed uproariously.

The people from Destiny Martial Arts were all angry, with one exclaiming, ”What’s wrong with being a sports student? If you’re capable, then compete in a sports event. I could crush you with one hand!”

”Yeah, you’re really something, hitting a girl, you’ve got real guts!” The girl who had spoken earlier said with a sneer, ”Oh dear, you’re scaring me, please don’t crush me to death, I’m terrified!”

The crowd laughed again, and at that moment, Chen Rui on stage said with a smile, ”My friend, why be angry? This is a civilized society, not a barbaric era, let’s not resort to violence at every turn. Society progresses through mental power, not physical strength, am I right or what, everyone?”

”Right!”

”Brother Rui is so right!”

”That’s the truth, these barbarians, they do nothing but bully people at school, what else can they do?”

”Oh dear, don’t say that, be careful they might beat us up in a moment!”

”Yeah, with all their might, they even hit girls, we better keep our voices down, don’t let them hear...”

The taunting from the crowd continued, and Wang Hao and the others were so angry their faces turned bluish-green. If it had been men spouting this nonsense, a fight would have already broken out. But it was a group of girls doing the name-calling, and they couldn’t lay a hand on them.

If you hit them, and it got out that the people from Destiny Martial Arts were here beating up girls, that would sound terrible!

But not hitting back was also humiliating, the crowd’s mockery hadn’t stopped for a moment!

Chen Rui’s face bore a cold smirk as he watched Su Yang, this was exactly the outcome he wanted. If Su Yang took the stage, Chen Rui could use his own singing and talent to defeat Su Yang, making him humiliate himself in public. If Su Yang didn’t take the stage, that would be even more humiliating; either way, he wanted to tear apart Su Yang’s face, and make him lose face in front of Hu Xiexie!

Su Yang’s expression remained calm; he had not planned to stay here. But, as things had escalated to this point, he suddenly didn’t want to leave.

As the hubbub from the crowd gradually subsided, he glanced at Chen Rui sideways and said coldly, ”Are you sure you want me to go on stage and perform?”

”Was I not clear enough earlier, or is it that you sports students have particularly poor memory?” Chen Rui asked with a smile, ”Or perhaps I should let you go on stage and smash bricks with your chest, instead?”

The crowd laughed uproariously again, looking at Su Yang as if he were a fool.
