I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 1000: Chapter 999: Hesitation

Luo Yirui held the bead and saw Nie Kaidi’s face change over and over. Knowing this thing was very important to him, he raised his brows and said, ”I’ll be confiscating this marble. It’s not exactly pretty, but I guess it’ll do.”

Nie Kaidi’s face turned green. ”That’s not...” He wanted to say it wasn’t a marble, but he was afraid if he said what it really was, this brat would cling to it even harder!

”Give it back! You can’t just rob me!” Nie Kaidi shouted in exasperation.

Luo Yirui’s brows furrowed. ”Rob you? Rob you of a marble? Isn’t that a joke? Don’t tell me your family can’t even afford marbles.”

Nie Kaidi shut his mouth and stayed silent. He absolutely would not tell this brat the bead’s true value, or else he definitely wouldn’t give it back.

But if he said nothing, this brat’s deadbeat face...

”Right, you injured someone earlier, didn’t you? How are we settling that?”

Nie Kaidi sneered. ”They just weren’t as good as me. Who can they blame?”

Luo Yirui suddenly understood, then raised his hand and shook the bead. ”So that means if you’re not as good as someone else, who can you blame?”

Nie Kaidi exploded: ”You ambushed me, you took advantage of my situation!”

Just now he never imagined Luo Yirui would dare lay a hand on him, so he hadn’t guarded against it. If he’d been prepared, there’s no way he would’ve let him land a hit. So that didn’t count!

”Do you dare let go of me and fight me fair and square?” Nie Kaidi said.

Although he didn’t know what method Luo Yirui used, he knew Luo Yirui was just an ordinary person and was relying entirely on this bead. And this bead, he’d stolen it from his Uncle; he still had to put it back later. He could play with it, but he absolutely couldn’t let someone else have it!

”Sure. If you win, I’ll give your marble back, and I won’t even make you cover the medical bills. If I win, the marble’s mine, and you pay their medical expenses,” Luo Yirui said.

He’d destroyed most of that pile of Xuan Talismans, but kept some key fragments, planning to bring them back for his mom to take a look at the opponent’s level. He couldn’t tell himself.

But he’d roughly estimated that these Xuan Talismans couldn’t be that powerful. As long as they didn’t keep coming at him one after another, he should be fine.

Both sides made a rough calculation and each felt they had the better odds, so they hit it off and agreed to this duel.

This wager was actually all profit and no cost for Luo Yirui. If he won, he’d get the bead and help Hao Rong’s underlings get their medical bills paid. Why not?

If he lost, he’d just be returning a bead that didn’t belong to him in the first place. He’d never planned to pay the medical bills anyway, which was why he said it was all profit and no cost.

Luo Yirui stood up. He hadn’t been suppressing Nie Kaidi at all to stop him from getting up, but because he was squatting beside him, Nie Kaidi just didn’t dare stand...

Zhuo Hao and the others were already dumbfounded, their mouths hanging open wide enough to fit an egg. Nie Kaidi had always been extremely arrogant; he didn’t even take Zhuo Hao’s father seriously.

The reason Zhuo Hao treated him so respectfully was because after his father learned Nie Kaidi’s identity, he’d been extremely polite to him, treating him like a little ancestor. Zhuo Hao had never seen his dad try so hard to curry favor with anyone, especially a kid, so of course he was influenced by that.

Because of this, the image of Nie Kaidi in Zhuo Hao’s heart was incredibly tall and powerful. Plus, after last time, when he’d just patted the other guy and sent him to the hospital, it was practically godlike!

So although he feared Nie Kaidi, he also admired him a lot. He never expected that today he’d get beaten up badly by a kid much younger than them, probably not even in first grade yet. And beaten so badly his head looked like a pig’s.

This not only ruined his image, but also knocked his prestige and status down a huge notch.

Nie Kaidi staggered up from the ground; he didn’t even have to look back to know what expressions the people behind him were wearing, and that made him so furious he wanted to cough blood.

He hadn’t been allowed out before; now he’d finally gotten out and thought his sect’s style was so awesome he could walk sideways wherever he went, only to get beaten this miserably.

This grudge had to be settled no matter what, and that bead had to be taken back too, or else he’d be finished!

Nie Kaidi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, puffed out his chest and lifted his head to stand there. It was just a shame his image was so bad right now, otherwise he could’ve at least looked somewhat bold and imposing!

Nie Kaidi sneered inwardly. Did this guy really think that just because he crushed those fighting talismans, he’d be helpless now? If that was all he had, Nie Kaidi would never have dared come out to play alone.

Nie Kaidi reached into the inside of his clothes and immediately took out two fighting talismans.

The environment he’d grown up in was extremely complicated; even internally he might face life-and-death situations. If he didn’t keep a trump card, he would’ve died long ago.

Seeing this, Luo Yirui raised a brow. So he’d actually hidden two more, and only two. No wonder he hadn’t felt anything when he frisked him before. What kind of fighting talismans were these?

Usually whatever was hidden for last was the most powerful backup, so Luo Yirui grew wary.

Hao Rong and the others had already cheered like crazy the moment Luo Yirui knocked Nie Kaidi down with a single punch. Brother Xiao Rui was just too awesome; their morale instantly shot up.

But the cheering died down quickly, because Hao Rong could clearly feel Brother Xiao Rui was angry. He didn’t know why, but he felt a strange kind of warmth in his heart; it was a very odd feeling.

Because he knew Brother Xiao Rui was angry since that punk’s big move had almost hurt them.

It felt like... they had a boss covering them!

And Luo Yirui had very literally blocked that big fireball and those sparks for them, sparing them a lot of pain.

So even all of Hao Rong’s underlings looked at Luo Yirui differently now.

Luo Yirui planted his feet, then turned and said to Hao Rong, ”You guys move back, all the way to the cars.”

Hao Rong immediately bellowed, and all his underlings clattered back toward the rear.

Luo Yirui stood there, eyes fixed on Nie Kaidi, ready to face his fighting talismans.

Nie Kaidi’s lips curled with a trace of brutality, and a flash of killing intent shot through his eyes.

Luo Yirui had been staring at him and naturally didn’t miss that killing intent, which made him pause. He had guessed Nie Kaidi had killed before, but he hadn’t expected him to want to kill over something this trivial!

An alarm bell rang in Luo Yirui’s heart; he wasn’t just cautious anymore—his entire being tensed up.

In fact, Luo Yirui had never encountered this kind of situation. He didn’t know what to do next. If it was just a matter of knocking Nie Kaidi down, that wouldn’t be hard. The hard part was whether to stop at just knocking him down!

If he let Nie Kaidi walk away like this, it might cause big trouble in the future. But to kill him... he had never done that before; just thinking about it was terrifying.

So a trace of hesitation appeared in Luo Yirui’s heart, but only for a moment before he abandoned the idea, because he simply couldn’t do it...

Luckily he let go of that thought. If he killed someone now, it would have a huge impact on his future. Wasn’t Nie Kaidi exactly the product of that...

The moment this thought left Luo Yirui’s mind, he saw Nie Kaidi’s fighting talisman shoot toward him!
