Lee JingJing just returned from the school where she taught, she walked out the bus and traversed the path that is the side market of the West part of the Zhong Hai's city. Her black eyes never bored witnessing the business that had been going. The scent of warm bread that just came out from being baked, a crisp sounds of deep fried tasty potato and mushroom, and colorful syrups that was displayed on a small desk.

A life that had became part of her since she still a below waist person, following her father to sell his stuff and be acquaintance with a lot of people.

Eventually she met elder brother Naruto, who are not only kind to her, but also her family. Despite his monetary wasn't in any better situation than hers, he didn't hesitate to lend some money when it was needed.

His stall was one of the many that actually had quite a sell, even went above her father's but he never act arrogant and modest.

"Lee Jingjing, just return from the work?" said one of the stall people as she passed by his spot.

"Un, how's today's sale?" she ceased her steps and approached the person.

"Hah, not getting any better than yesterday," no person that opened a shop in this area hadn't familiar with this black haired young lady, back when she was still a kid, her cheerful behavior and innocent smile brought a lot of soothing feeling for the weary hearts.

You could say that Lee Jingjing is not just Old Lee's daughter but also everyone's, thus they never hide anything from her if something bad happen.

"I'm sorry, is it because that eviction notice?" Lee Jingjing said with a worry tone.

"Yes, since the Chen's no longer the lord around here, many people started to take an advantage from many available field, this morning, the fresh corn, steamed bun, and porridge seller had to move out from their spots since someone wanted to build a convenient store there," the seller twitched his lips with annoyed expression.

"And now, a group of delinquent had been hang around in the area, threatening and scaring anyone who tried to buy our items, I heard Ms. Chong's costumer had been bullied by them until they left without buying anything..."

"That is the worst! How come no one do something about this?!" her face brimmed with redness, her light eyebrows drew together in the middle.

"Jingjing, you know how this works, you not just with us for a mere year or two, this people clearly not act without hidden agenda, and not without any support. For the people like us who just a small stall seller, what can we do to fight them?" he shook his head in helplessness.

Lee Jingjing bit her lips, of course she knew how powerless these people are, back when Chen's family was still lording this area, many third interested parties cowered under their influence, although they had to pay a protection fee once a week, but at least they could still sell leisurely.


But now, more and more people began to oppress these seller, even forcing them to close their shop.

"Oh, yeah, Jingjing, here!" the seller fished out three egg rolls and put them inside a simple old newspaper package. Then he handed it to Lee Jingjing with a faint smile, "give my regards to your old man."

The young woman's heart shivered, she strongly wanted to reject but she knew it would be pointless.

"Thank you, I hope things will turn for the better..." she grabbed the package while declining her face, she didn't want to let this person saw a tears that had been lingered at the corner of her eyes.

"Oh, look old man! You seemed selling well!"

Before Lee Jingjing turned her body around to leave, a cocky voice pierced her ear drums almost immediately. Right at several stall from her spots, three men wore denim vest and pants with several patches stood before a man around his fifty who sold a cotton candy to a couple who awaited at the side. Their lips was smiling but everyone could notice a malice intent that was hiding underneath it.

"Y-yes, it's not... bad, hehe...." the man rubbed the back of his grey hair while continued rolling the pink clouds of sugar to a bamboo stick.

"Then you won't have any problem share your luck with us today, right?" one of them walked beside his stall and hugged the man over his shoulder.

"Sure, sure..." he simply said, the tanned color on his face as if currently drained.

The delinquent curled his lips then looked at his comrades, they both sneered before approaching the couple. They wore a simple manner of clothing but based on their complexion, this couple was still quite young, perhaps a college student.

The man had a short hair and quite athletic, while the woman was delicate and meek, the type of gentle flower at the side of the river.

"Oi, elder brother... you quite blessed in luck, eh? Scoring such a pretty chick~" the one that had a short feature said.

"L-leave her alone, we don't want any trouble," the athlete man put his girl behind his back, the meek girl had her body trembled a bit.

"Hey, what's with the aggressive tone, we just want to be friend with you," the short delinquent twisted his face in ugly manner.

"Haha, I bet he was disgusted by your hideous face!" the tall one behind him presumptuously laughed.

It's true though, this short delinquent had his lips stretched too wide and short nose, his eyes bulged as if it would launched out from their hole and his skin was swarthy.

Not the attractive, kind of sweet swarthy, more like... charcoal black.

"Is that true?! You are disgusted by me?!" his face darkened, as if it could be darker than it already had.

"Wha- don't make a false accusation! We just don't want any trouble and be left alone!" the athlete man said.

"What a liar, look at his face dude, he must had an urge to throw up many times after seeing your face," the tall man kept adding fuel to the fire and made the couple become more scared.

"That's it, you got yourself an enemy pal, let's see if you can still mock my face after I punch you in a jaw!"

"No, no, please, I'll pay however you want, don't hurt me!" the athlete man quickly took out his wallet, his hand was unable to stay steady.

"P-please, don't bother my customer!" the elder seller shouted in agitation, then he felt a strong grasp on his shoulder, he glanced to the side and found the delinquent stared him down with fierce eyes.

"Take your money away, rich boy!" the short delinquent raised his leg and kicked the athlete man, he felt a stung of pain in his stomach then fell to the ground with his both hands on it.

"No!" the meek girl shouted in horror at her boyfriend predicament, she crouched and put her hand on his back.

"Pathetic," the short delinquent snorted.

"Why did you do this?! He is not bothering you whatsoever, but why you hurt him like this?!" the meek girl snapped her face toward him.

"Shut up, pussy! This is none of your business!" he said.

"I won't accept this! I will call the police and get you all arrested for assaulting innocent people!" she took out her phone in a swift.

"This bitch..." the short delinquent kicked the athlete man's head, causing the victim to smack hard against the ground and inflicted bruises on his face.

"Listen bitch, if you ever tried something funny, I'll kick him until his mother no longer recognize his face, you understand?!" he pressed his hard boots on the athlete man's head. The meek girl trembled and she quickly put down her phone.

Many seller and other people watched the commotion, but they just went silent at the event, some bystander quickly escaped the area in order not received the same fate as the couple and the seller could only glanced away their face.

The sellers, they are not uncaring individual, but they had their own life to think about, most of them is either a middle aged person or old one, they had family, son, daughter, wife, grandchildren, and other. They were worried if something bad happen to them, it would implicated the lives of those who close to them.

The short delinquent laughed at the submissive attitude the meek girl gave him, he most like an obedient girl. He glanced at the athlete man under his boots, curling his lips then grazed the boots' sole to his head.

It was humiliating, for both the couple, they never felt such tremendous amount of humiliation before.

If they knew such thing will happen to them, they would never have a dream to stop by to buy something in here.

At this moment, a soda can flew toward the short man's baldy head and bashed hard against it. The ground was dirty, not just from the many shoes that had been stepped on it, but also from wild creature's poop and piss.

There was a mark of brown color thing that stuck on the short delinquent's bald head as he traced it with his hand, his nose twitched in nausea at the scent that had invaded his nose.

"Fuck! Who threw me that can?!" he swept his face to surrounding area and quickly found a pretty young woman that was standing not far, she had her black hair trimmed to the side.

"Enough is enough, get out from this area!" the young woman was none other than Lee Jingjing who couldn't stand their overbearing act anymore.

"Damn woman, you are courting death..." the short delinquent had his blackened face flushed in red, his hand clenched tightly until muscles are popping out.

"This is my home, I don't appreciate random thugs like you are destroying and ruining it, get out!" Lee Jingjing picked a random can on the ground and threw it once more to the short delinquent.

Of course he wouldn't just going to stand there and let it hit him, he raised his hand and slapped away the can. He glared at Lee Jingjing with murderous intention and proceeded to walk toward her.

The other two delinquent also had been annoyed by the change of event, they didn't stop him from doing whatever he wanted with the young woman, among the three of them, the short delinquent was the short tempered one and coincidentally the strongest fighter.

Despite the imminent danger that was closing to her, Lee Jingjing didn't show any fear, it was enough for her to be feared when she was about to get mug before elder brother Naruto swoop in to save her.

He had taught her to be brave in the face of difficulty, never yield to what the fate had tried to make her surrender.

She grabbed more can on the ground and threw it to the short delinquent, she didn't know what the heck things she just picked, she just wanted to show him that she is not afraid.

*Prang!*

"Aaaah!"

To everyone surprise, one of the thing she threw turned out not a can, but a freaking beer's bottle. Its glass surface immediately fractured into bunch of fragment that pierced the short delinquent's skin, quickly tattered him with many wounds that spilled an everlasting blood. He was screamed in horror, plucking the sharp fragments from his hand and several of them from his face.

Lee Jingjing widened her eyes in shocked, she never expected it will turn out like this.

"That's it bitch, you are going to die!" the short delinquent didn't get stun in fear, this situation instead brought his anger to a whole new level for Lee Jingjing.

While the threat was getting bigger by seconds, Lee Jingjing still not showing any cower visage, she tried to look something to throw but nothing left in her vicinity.

"Run out of ammunition, huh?" the short man coldly said, and he only in few steps away from harming her.

She gritted her teeth and did the last resort, she took out her phone and tried to call someone, a person she could depended on, but sadly, the person didn't answer despite the call was connected.

Her face turned quite pale and the short delinquent had arrived before her, he sneered and raised his hand to slap Lee Jingjing's smooth cheek away. She closed her eyes, expecting the impact.

*Clang!*

...

After a while nothing sort of pain she felt, she fluttered her eyes open and saw the egg roll's seller stood in front of her with a stainless pan in his hand, the bottom part of it still had the hint of burn.

"Stay away from Lee Jingjing!" the man said with fierce tone, his legs was shaking but his face told otherwise.

The short delinquent stumbled backward as he felt hot and ache on his baldy head. This time he felt shocked because he never expect a seller would dare to fight.

The reason why his group of delinquent dared to bully these people because they are weak and mostly terrified after they exhibit a little bit of power. Not to mention the influence of people who support their action, there is no viable reason for the sudden rebellion this seller showed.

"You... you..." oh boy, his body already turned red like an active volcano mountain.

"Stay away from her..." the man said once again.

"Die!" the short delinquent no longer gave any shit, he strode to the man's front and hooked punch him to the ground.

"You demon!" Lee Jingjing's eyes turned red, she strode forward and brandished her well clipped nails, scratching the short delinquent's face and adding more line of wound on his already bruises face. He screamed at this and side kicked Lee Jingjing's waist, the young woman grunted in pain then she received a fierce punch on her nose.

Her eyes felt confuse and her brain turned dizzy, she sensed something smeared her nose and the taste of sweet covered her lips.

The short delinquent yet to extinguish his wrath, he looked at the egg roll man, striding forward at him and began to stomp his body many times, everyone could hear the sounds of bashing and breaking, moaning of pain accompanied by a deep grudge cursing.

Lee Jingjing grabbed the fallen pan and smacked his baldy head in frenzy mode, but he wasn't even fazed, she received a harsh back elbowed to her stomach and slapped to her smooth face.

She fell to the ground, gasping and heaving for the pain she felt.

But what most hurt was actually her heart, because she was powerless, other people would suffer the consequence of her action.

The shout of begging to stop reverberated inside her ears, but the merciless stomp kept scraping the life out of that man.

It was not until later that the other two delinquent stopped the short dude, after they left the scene, other people immediately called for ambulance and took care of Lee Jingjing and the egg roll seller, in the midst of her heart bursting with pain that stole away her gasp for breath, what she wanted is for them to suffer, to feel the same pain their victim had felt.

She flipped open her phone, and she opened the mail feature, quickly tapping her slender finger on the pad before it lost the power and she fell unconscious.
