Chapter 350 Lesson Learned
Amy had just taken a few bites of the kebab when, with a whoosh, a rock flew toward the kebab in her hand.
Heath reacted just in time. He reached out with his right hand and grabbed the rock.
Amy, who had been slow to react, realized they had been attacked. “Ah!” she exclaimed. She put down the kebab and looked at Heath’s palm. “Teacher, are you okay?”
Heath shook his head. “I’m fine.”
He looked in the direction of the rock, his eyes filled with doubt.
Three men walked over. They were wearing sleeveless clothes, and their heads were wrapped in turbans. They were holding wine bottles in their hands, looking like drunkards.
Before Heath could say anything, one of the men with brown hair said arrogantly, “Who gave you permission to light a fire here? Don’t you know this is the dock?”
“Who are you?” Heath asked, puzzled.
One of the men picked up a bottle and pointed at Heath with a fierce look. “Answer whatever I ask you. Cut the crap!”
Amy was furious. Although she behaved like a meek kitten in front of Heath, she was a real spellcaster. How could a few mortals offend her? Not to mention, the one who was offended was her most respected Teacher.
Magic power instantly surged in her heart, and she was about to crush these reckless mortals into ashes.
However, at that moment, a hand pressed on her shoulder. At the same time, a wave of spiritual power spread toward her, suppressing her magic power.
Heath pulled Amy and said, “Leave it to me.”
Since he had agreed not to use magic power, Heath was certainly not going to use magic. It was not necessary for him to change his mind in the face of a few hooligans.
Amy was stunned. Since her teacher had spoken, she could not say anything more. She nodded obediently and quickly withdrew her magic power. “Yes, Teacher.”
Her docile gesture, coupled with her extraordinary beauty, immediately made the three men stare at her.
One man sneered. “Oh, what a docile kitten.”
The man next to her began to tease her. “Hey, kitten, aren’t you wasting your time with such a loser? Why don’t you follow us? It’s better to have a good meal than roasting a fish skewer here.”
“What smooth skin, little beauty. Come, let me touch you.”
A thug smiled lecherously and reached out his hand toward Amy.
At that moment, a hand reached out and grabbed the thug’s hand. Then the hand exerted a little force, and with a crack, the thug’s fingers were twisted upward.
Intense pain instantly swept up along his arm. The scoundrel felt a chill in his heart and could not help but open his mouth and let out a scream, “Ah!”
“Hand… Hand… My hand! My hand!”
The two hooligans behind him, who were still smiling cheekily, were shocked and immediately rushed forward while shouting at Heath.
“D*mn brat, what are you doing!”
“Are you tired of living? Let go of me!”
Hearing their curses, Heath appeared very polite. He immediately pushed forward and let go of the hooligan’s arm.
The hooligan immediately stumbled backward. With a ‘peng!’, he crashed into the two hooligans behind him. The two hooligans who rushed forward were knocked back several steps.
The three hooligans steadied themselves and looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Obviously, the three of them could tell that the black-haired young man in front of them was not an ordinary person that they could bully as they pleased. Just that one move had easily proved that he had extraordinary combat strength.
However, the three of them did not have any intention of stopping. Instead, their eyes quickly turned vicious.
The three of them exchanged looks as if they had reached some sort of agreement. They immediately spread out in all three directions and simultaneously took out a dagger from their waists.
“Little b*stard, you have guts. You dare to cause trouble at the dock? I think you’re tired of living!”
“Damn b*stard, you dare to touch me? I’ll chop off your hand!”
The weather had been bad for the past two days, and most of the townsfolk by the seaside had not gone out to do anything. Therefore, although today was not a day of rest, there were still quite a number of residents taking a stroll by the seaside.
The commotion over here quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding townsfolk, and many of them surrounded them.
“Eh? That, that, that seems to be the scholar from the lighthouse!”
“Did something happen? Why is the scholar here? Those are Zarot’s group from the pier, d*mn it!”
“Quick, go and call for help!”
Seeing that the townsfolk had surrounded them, the villains still had no intention of stopping. One of the hooligans shouted at the townsfolk with a fierce expression, “It’s none of your business, Scram!”
Another hoodlum also threatened, “Don’t look for trouble. Do you think your lives aren’t long enough? I know who you are!”
The townsfolk who had gathered here originally wanted to go forward and help, but after hearing the hoodlums’ threats, they began to hesitate. After all, they were all people with families… and these hoodlums had no scruples. If things really got lively, they would be the ones who would be unlucky.
However, the townsfolk did not retreat immediately because of this. There were still two townsfolk who gathered their courage and said, “The city guards are patrolling this area. Don’t go too far!”
“That’s right. Just now, I saw Captain Bass bringing his men over there.”
The city guards still held a lot of weight in the eyes of the ordinary townsfolk. However, in the eyes of these thugs, they were nothing. They were old foxes who knew how to get along with these people.
The hooligan sneered, “City guards? Cut the crap. It’s none of your business. All of you, scram!”
Seeing that they couldn’t take it anymore, one of the townsfolk couldn’t help but plead for mercy.
“Forget it, big brothers. I don’t know how Scholar Heath offended all of you, but I believe he didn’t do it on purpose. Can you see if you can…”
“Shut up!”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a thug. The thug raised his dagger and pointed it at the townsfolk’s face. “D*mn it, I think you guys really don’t want to live anymore. You even dare to interfere in my matters!”
As he said that, the thug charged forward with a fierce look on his face, as if he wanted to skin the townsfolk alive.
However, at this moment…
“Ah!” A shrill cry sounded from behind.
The scoundrel subconsciously turned his head, and when he saw the scene behind him, his eyes instantly widened…
