Shen Xinya's voice was so small as a mosquito, so much so that not even Yin Yue, who was at her side, could not hear it.

Her voice was simply suffocated by the voices of the students in the stands and, after a moment's consideration, she sat back down in her seat. When Yin Yue asked her if anything bad had happened, Shen Xinya just shook her head and did not say anything.

​​

Her radiant gaze never left the basketball court.

"Out of the way!", Nangong Chen stood up in anger as he shoved the doctors who were trying to see if he was okay. He looked at Xie Feng with a wild look, like an angry tiger: "Do you have any idea who I am, you little BASTARD!!", he shouted.

Nangong Chen's voice rumbled on the walls of the gymnasium and his words silenced the place.

Nangong Chen's eyes were wide open and his nose did not stop bleeding. His hair was disheveled, giving him a wild appearance.

Nangong Chen was ready to continue, but his words died in his throat. The air around him seemed to become congested and he suddenly felt a horrendous pressure on him.

"What did you say?". The silence was broken by a voice that seemed to be soft and apparently without emotion.

The smile on Xie Feng's face was gone and his playful look was nowhere to be seen. He slowly walked towards Nangong Chen until he was only a few inches from him, and asked again: "I just asked you a question, didn't you listen?... I invite you to repeat those words again".

Xie Feng's words somehow made the heart of most of those present beat faster. Subconsciously everyone was silent while they looked at Nangong Chen, waiting for his answer.

Because he was a few inches shorter, Nangong Chen had to lift his face a bit to look Xie Feng directly in the eyes. When his gaze met with Xie Feng's calm gaze, Nangong Chen felt that he was looking at a sleeping dragon rather than a human being.

However, all that feeling disappeared as quickly as it appeared.

After all, who was he? A person blessed by the heavens, a chosen one by the Gods. He was not only born into one of the most powerful families in the whole world, he was also different from the rest of human beings.

A tremendous amount of strength went through every muscle in Nangong Chen's body and, as he looked directly into Xie Feng's eyes, he repeated once again: "I called you a little B-A-S-T-A-R-D, so what?".

Nangong Chen repeated word for word and letter for letter while mocking.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

While all the students looked on with fun, the professors didn't dare say a word. Nangong Chen's bad behavior is well known to everyone in Shanghai University, but since he is the youngest son of the current patriarch of the Nangong family, there was nothing they could do about it. After all, they are nothing more than normal workers with a family to protect.

There were only two people who had somewhat similar emotions while watching this happen.

On the one hand, Shen Xinya was worried about Xie Feng because if he really is who she thinks he is, she believes that this will not end with just words.

While on the other hand, Xie Yao was worried about Xie Feng and felt sorry for Nangong Chen. When she met Xie Feng, she was 11 and he was 12 years old; since then, it has been almost 10 years, 10 years in which Xie Yao has met and learned what kind of person he really is.

Xie Yao knows better than anyone else that even though Xie Feng is polite and kind, but when he gets angry there is no one who can stop him. Even she can't do anything about it.

While there was one more person who felt different from everyone else present; Mu Wuying.

Mu Wuying had arrived a little late, but she was able to see everything that happened. She was furious with Nangong Chen, her greatest wish was to tear him to pieces.

But when she saw the look on Xie Feng's face, she knew there was no room for her to do anything.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Xie Feng looked Nangong Chen in the eye and, when he repeated the words that Xie Feng hated so much, he only wanted to destroy him right now.

But when he saw out of the corner of his eye that Xie Yao was looking at him with a look that seemed to beg, Xie Feng calmed down. This was clearly not the time and place to do what he had in mind.

Xie Feng closed his eyes and took several deep breaths before finally opening them again. He did not look at Nangong Chen again, instead, he looked at the referee and casually asked, "Can we continue the game?".

The referee was surprised by the sudden change of events but soon nodded without hesitation.

"Heh... And I thought you had some balls, in the end, you are just that, a coward". Nangong Chen mocked and ignored the medical staff, and returned to prepare to continue playing.

Hu Chen walked up to Xie Feng and while looking at Nangong Chen's back, he said: "Xie Feng, are you okay? Just ignore that guy, he's just a piece of trash. If it wasn't for his parents, he would be just a little piece of shit".

When he did not get an answer, Hu Chen frowned and looked at Xie Feng. But when he saw the terrifying look in his eyes, he subconsciously looked away again. Hu Chen felt that he had never in his life seen a more terrifying look than the one Xie Feng had at that moment.

***

Although many seemed disillusioned by Xie Feng's withdrawal, most thought it was normal. After all, unless one has a death wish, one would not provoke this unlucky star with human skin.

The basketball game continued normally, however, the result was somehow shocking, but also expected.

Team 1: 2 points

Team 2: 187 points

Team 1, that is, the basketball team of Shanghai University, only scored the first 2 points. Those two points were scored at the opening of the game, when Xie Feng was not yet on the court.

After that, team 1 failed to score any more points.

On the other hand, team 2 formed by the students of the business class was completely scary at every moment of the game. The first 100 points were scored by Xie Feng, but as if he was bored or no longer interested in the game, he just handed the ball to his teammates and let them show off.

"Well played, Business Class!"

"Not bad, man!"

"Shouldn't they be our basketball team instead?"

The students couldn't help but stand up and applaud loudly. Praise and words of breath flooded the ears of the game participants and, unconsciously, they puffed up their chests slightly.

Even the shyest of the seven, Qian Luoyang had his moment of glory, so he stood proudly in the center and received the admiring gaze of some girls.

Xie Feng completely ignored the cries of the girls who were calling his name. His gaze was fixed on the back of Nangong Chen, who was leaving in a rage.

***

After leaving the gym, Xie Feng told Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue to wait for him for a moment.

Meanwhile, he went to the terrace of one of the buildings.

When he arrived at the place, he unconsciously looked at the sky with indifference.

Nangong Chen not only mocked him for being abandoned like a dog by his parents, but he also indirectly ridiculed Xie Yao.

When he called Xie Feng a bastard, Nangong Chen implied more than one thing.

First, Nangong Chen mocked him for being abandoned.

Second, Nangong Chen ridiculed him for being adopted, treating him as if he were a dog picked up from the street... But the biggest reason for Xie Feng's fury is that Xie Yao's parents died. In other words, she has no parents.

There is no way that Nangong Chen does not know this. He clearly did it on purpose. He was clearly mocking everyone, not caring about anything.

Taking his cell phone out of his coat, Xie Feng made a call. After a few seconds, the call was answered.

Without waiting for words or introductions, Xie Feng said, "I want to know where Nangong Chen is staying in Shanghai. I want the information as soon as possible, it cannot go beyond today".

A gasp of surprise was heard from the other side, followed by the hesitant voice of a man: "Nangong Chen... The second young master of the Nangong Family?"

"Yes, is there a problem?". Xie Feng asked casually in return.

"No, no problem".

Xie Feng did not continue talking and cut the call.

Taking out a box of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, he fired one cigarette and took a deep breath. Sometimes, when his emotions get out of control, the smell of the cigarette manages to calm him down a bit, and seeing his hands trembling and his teeth clenching hard as if they were going to break at any moment, this was undoubtedly a good occasion.

After finishing the cigarette, Xie Feng came looking for Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue.

While they were chatting with each other, Xie Yao seemed to intend to say something but hesitated. Xie Feng also knew what she wanted to say, but at least this time, he would not listen to her.

He could feel his body becoming warmer and warmer as if it were demanding that he vent his pent-up anger or it could explode at any moment.
