CHAPTER 3 - TIME FOR REVENGE!
Upon hearing Wang Lin's words, the young girl exploded in anger again. "You're not even a doctor; what do you know? Poisoned? Be cautious of people around me? Seems like I should be cautious of you!"
"By the way you're dressed, did you just escape from a mental institution?"
Ignoring her accusations, Wang Lin understood that emotions were running high in such a situation. After leaving his phone number, he walked away, feeling he had done all he could.
Just as he distanced himself, a black Hummer pulled up beside him. A man, towering at 6'3" and weighing around 440 pounds, stepped out, eyeing him curiously. "Old Wang? What's up with your look?"
Recognizing the man, Wang Lin was surprised. "Fatty? Weren't you abroad?"
"Just got back and bumped into you. Did you just come from a hospital? Don't tell me you got into a fight and ended like this!" Fatty joked.
Known as Sun Xiaofei, Fatty was Wang Lin's college roommate and his only true friend. With both of Wang Lin's parents having passed away early, he worked part-time jobs to get through college. During his financially tight periods, Fatty would offer aid, which Wang Lin would promptly repay once he had the means. Their friendship had developed over such exchanges.

"You guessed right, Fatty. I was beaten up. But I'll make them pay double," Wang Lin said, his tone icy.
"Now that I've acquired the Emperor Immortal's legacy, I won't be able to rest until I teach that couple a lesson!"
"Who did this to you? Tell me. I have some influence in Luo City," Fatty's face darkened, and he was already rubbing his hands together, ready for action.
"It's okay, I can handle it myself. If I can't, then I'll ask for your help."
Even though they were close, and Wang Lin had an inkling that Fatty was the scion of some influential family, he had no intention of using Fatty to exact his revenge. Revenge, after all, was best served cold and personally.
"Alright, but are you planning to seek revenge dressed like that? You look like you just walked out of a mental institution," Fatty chuckled.
"Uh..." Wang Lin felt embarrassed.
"Ha! We haven't seen each other in ages. Come on, everything's on me today!" Noticing Wang Lin's discomfort, Fatty pulled him toward a clothing store.
As they walked in, a discordant voice rang out. "Isn't this Wang Lin?"
"I heard you got a few ribs broken. Didn't expect you'd be out of the hospital so soon."
"And what's with your outfit? Did you just come from a mental institution?" A man with a slicked-back hairstyle and a portly figure walked up to them, flanked by five or six others.

"Li Peng, you're just like you've always been—can't say anything nice," Wang Lin retorted.
Li Peng was his manager at work, who seemed to enjoy making his life difficult. To keep his job, Wang Lin had no choice but to swallow his pride and suffer silently.
But things were different now. Wang Lin had acquired the inheritance of an Immortal Emperor and no longer had to tolerate such treatment.
"You must've taken a blow to your head. How dare you speak to Li Peng like that?" said one of Li Peng's associates, stepping forward menacingly. "If you apologize to Li Peng on your knees now, maybe he'll be in a good mood and let you keep your job."
"That's right, get on your knees, apologize, and slap yourself three times. Or else you're not walking out of this place," another jeered.
"So, have you made up your mind?" Li Peng stared at Wang Lin with a foreboding look, clearly prepared to escalate the situation.
"Of course I have," Wang Lin replied lightly, "You get on your knees and apologize to me, and slap yourself three times. Then, I'll let you off the hook."
"What?"
"Did I hear that right?"
"Hahaha…"
As soon as Wang Lin finished speaking, laughter erupted. Li Peng and his associates looked at him like he'd lost his mind.

"Do you think we wouldn't dare beat you up?"
"Or do you think you could take all seven of us alone?"
By this point, the commotion had attracted a crowd of onlookers eager to see what would happen next.
"Bro, just apologize and let it go. A wise man knows when to retreat," someone advised.
"Bro, a man's knees are precious. Never kneel! Stand your ground. We've got your back," another encouraged.
While some wanted to see Wang Lin bow his head, others looked forward to seeing him pummeled. Attempts to call the police were thwarted by Li Peng's associates, who also issued threats.
"Alright, young man. If you're so brave, let's go to the changing room and have a 'chat,'" Li Peng sneered.
"Sure," Wang Lin grinned, "Just wait here, Fatty. I'll be right back."
"Who do you take me for, Old Wang? Do you think I'd abandon a friend?" Fatty chimed in.
"Let's go in together and face whatever comes our way. If it comes down to it, I'll take a beating with you," Fatty said, filled with righteous determination.
These words touched Wang Lin. After all, a friend who sticks by you through thick and thin is rare.
They entered the spacious changing room, large enough for nine people to fit comfortably. A few of Li Peng's associates stood menacingly near the door.

"It's not too late to kneel and apologize. We're alone here so it won't be too embarrassing for you," Li Peng walked in, looking at Wang Lin mockingly.
"You're right; we're alone here. If you guys kneel and apologize now, it won't be too humiliating," Wang Lin replied calmly.
However, to Li Peng and his gang, Wang Lin's composure seemed like sheer arrogance. After all, they were gym-goers, used to physical confrontations. How could Wang Lin, who barely weighed 120 pounds, pose any threat to them?
Even with Fatty by his side, they were seven strong. They couldn't fathom what gave Wang Lin the audacity to speak as he did.
"You're asking for it, aren't you? Refusing the wine of courtesy, you shall drink the wine of punishment," one of them sneered.
"Since you're so eager to meet your fate, let's oblige him," Li Peng declared.
"Alright, guys, let's take him down!"
