That was not supposed to happen. However, it did happen right in front of their very eyes. Along with Ye Lingchen’s domineering statement, it immediately made them boil with excitement. It was as though they just witnessed the climactic moment in a wuxia film, giving them a rush of adrenaline.
‘Amazing!’
‘A good man should be like this!’
Right then, under the night sky, Ye Lingchen seemed to be giving off a radiance that could not be ignored.
Some girls were unable to resist screaming. When compared to Ye Lingchen, Hyun-Min Kim would not even be qualified as a sissy. That was how a real man should be like. That was the legendary manliness. Those Stick Boys from the Stick Nation were incomparable.
Hyun-Min Kim fell on the ground and shrieked in pain! It gave the crowd quite a scare.
It was not a dream—Hyun-Min Kim was really sent flying with a kick. Just a moment ago, he was being prideful, yet the next instant, his face was pale as he growled in pain while holding his stomach.
Everyone was at a loss on how to react to the situation at hand. However, they all had a look of disbelief in their eyes, shocked by Ye Lingchen’s courage.
‘He really dared to hit him!’
Most importantly, Ye Lingchen was also a celebrity. It was incredibly brave of him to act so brazenly. He had just assaulted a trending little fresh meat from the Stick Nation. Was he not worried about the consequences?
Celebrities would surely place their image first. Assaulting another person was a violent behavior that would negatively impact his career. Moreover, the person he assaulted was a superstar. It was no longer a simple matter that could be suppressed.
“God Ye is just too courageous.”
“What’s he afraid of? We have so many witnesses here. We’ll support God Ye!”
“It’s really Old Ye, that basketball sports superstar.”
“I’ve also seen him on Life’s Struggles.”
“Damn, so he’s the one who fought the giant python? No wonder he could send Hyun-Min Kim flying with just a kick. Awesome!”
A lot of them were slow on the uptake, but very soon began to realize who Ye Lingchen was. Both incidents were rather popular after all.
At the same time, their respect and support for him grew stronger.
That was because Ye Lingchen taught the Stick Nation’s team a lesson during the basketball match. At that time, the Stick Nation’s basketball members were just like Hyun-Min Kim, putting on airs and looking down on Chinese people. They were then given a harsh lesson by God Ye.
This time, history repeats itself.
It was truly…an amazing coincidence.
Assault? Assaulting a celebrity?
The other celebrities might not dare to, but that was God Ye. He was someone who dared to fight a giant python. Moreover, he had never hesitated when it came to teaching the people from Stick Nation a lesson. No wonder he dared to act.
However, with that, it would cause quite a stir.
Some were stunned, some excited, and some cheered.
A lot of bystanders were not just purely watching the drama. They were similarly having deep hatred for Hyun-Min Kim, especially those that were restrained due to all sorts of reasons. They could only helplessly watch people like Hyun-Min Kim leave. Those frustrations and anger immediately found an outlet when they saw Ye Lingchen act, bringing them great excitement.
Moreover, with Hyun-Min Kim’s status as a Stick Nation celebrity, it brought them great relief, thus energizing them!
‘That felt great!’
‘So manly! Chinese celebrities should be like this!’
“Good one!”
Suddenly, someone shouted a cheer excitedly from the crowd.
That cheer broke the silence. After the momentary silence, the others quickly came to their senses.
“That’s right, good one!”
“That felt really good. I can only say, nice hit!”
“Damn it, how can people like Hyun-Min Kim be popular in China. The heavens must’ve been blind!”
“It’s the die-hard Chinese fans who are blind!”
“The Stick Nation is really uncivilized. Beat him to death!”
The cheers went on. Some had their face turned red and voice hoarse.
However, amidst those cheers were some dissenting voices. Hyun-Min Kim’s die-hard fans were really mentally handicapped, still trying to defend his actions in that situation.
“How can you assault him?”
“You’ve injured our Hyun-Min Kim. I’ll sue you!”
“Sisters, f*ck him up and smear his name online!”
“We mustn’t let him go. We must sue him and blacklist him! Look at that lack of civility, a shame to our country!”
…
The bystanders could not stand it anymore and commented, “What’s wrong with you ladies. Didn’t you see how Hyun-Min Kim was treating you? Yet you’re still willing to be his fans? Is there something wrong with your brain?”
A slightly plump girl immediately got angry and glared at them. “That’s none of your business. We just love Hyun-Min Kim. Even if he causes us physical harm, that’s still better than you!”
“That’s right. We’ll support Hyun-Min Kim forever! You’re just jealous of him!” another girl interjected.
“Us, jealous of him?” A guy could not help but laugh at the comment. “You girls are going blind at such a young age. What a shame.”
“It’s not just blindness. From the looks of it, I think their minds are rotten too! Perhaps they had gone through some trauma and can’t even recognize their own ancestors. Otherwise, why would they chase after a sissy from the Stick Nation?”
“They’ve probably forgotten about their parents. If their parents knew about their situation, they might get a heart attack.”
There were not many of Hyun-Min Kim’s die hard fans remaining. However, they were extremely stubborn and deeply poisoned. People from both sides then began their verbal exchange just like that.
“God Ye!”
The backstage crew member from the Spring Festival Gala quickly shouted at him.
The other celebrities and crew members were vaguely sending him signals with their gaze.
Ye Lingchen’s kick not only landed on Hyun-Min Kim’s body, but it also landed on their hearts at the same time. That was just too brazen and lacked consideration. The Spring Festival Gala was not over, yet he had assaulted a foreign visitor. Moreover, he was a superstar. All that was done in public view!
Anyone would be dumbfounded by this.
Many of them were trying to persuade him out of kindness.
However, Ye Lingchen ignored those signals. He remained on the spot, standing in front of Hyun-Min Kim, stating calmly, “Don’t think that our country is a place for you to do as you wish. Some people might tolerate you, but I will not! Apologize! Don’t make me repeat myself!”
Those words were aimed at the guards.
They were too spineless! Shameful!
However, the guards who ignored Hyun-Min Kim’s actions had a ruthless expression on their face after seeing Ye Lingchen hitting him. They reprimanded, “What’s wrong with you? How can you act so violently?”
“Your actions will have legal consequences!”
One of the guards even approached Ye Lingchen directly. “Stop immediately and apologize!”
“Hehe. Pitiful and laughable!” Ye Lingchen shook his head with a forced smile. He frowned, then his gaze turned even colder. Before the guard could reach him, he raised his leg and sent out another kick. It similarly landed on the guard’s stomach, sending him rolling back pitifully to where he came from…
