Chapter 168: Chapter 167: Better Known than Met
"Brother, you look quite old, and if you enter our school, it's likely to attract the teachers' attention, let me call them out..." As they reached the school gate, Lin Duoer turned to Lin Yun and said.
"Alright, go ahead and call them out!" Lin Yun replied with a nod and a smile.
Then, Lin Yun stopped at the school gate, looked up at the many buildings, and the shops which were familiar to him. It stirred mixed feelings inside him. Time truly flew by. Five years had passed in the blink of an eye.
A few minutes later, outside a classroom.
"Tell Liu Yuan from your class to come out. My brother wants to see him!"
Lin Duoer glanced at the people in the room and then turned towards a person about to enter the class and said.
Afterwards, Lin Duoer turned around and headed towards the next class.
...
"So you're Lin Yun, Lin Duoer's brother?"
While Lin Yun was looking at the buildings in front of him, reminiscing about his school days, a somewhat arrogant voice rang out from behind him.
Lin Yun turned around and saw dozens of students around his age, with a few women as well.
Quite a handful, huh.
"Yes, I'm Lin Yun. Are you guys the ones who offended my sister?" Lin Yun asked, smiling at the ones standing at the front.
"Brother!"
Just then, Lin Duoer came running from a distance, calling out at the same time.
Then, she hooked her arm through Lin Yun's and turned around to face the students with him.
"Liu Yuan, you've brought quite a few people!" Lin Duoer sneered.
"To meet the elder, we naturally have to bring more people!" The leading student chuckled.
To be honest, they were all shocked when Lin Duoer first told them that Lin Yun wanted to see them.
The person's name sends shivers, just as a tree's shadow casts fear.
Even though Lin Yun was a student from five years ago, his fame in the school was massive.
Back then, many gangsters in society were afraid of Lin Yun.
So how could they, as students, not be afraid?
However, when they thought carefully.
No matter how powerful Lin Yun was, he was still just one person. How strong could one person be?
Back then, Lin Yun was so remarkable presumably because he had a group of brothers.
Now, five years later, Lin Yun's group of brothers was certainly gone.
With only Lin Yun left, what was there to be afraid of?
Even if Lin Yun was tough, could he fight all of them on his own?
That sounded promising.
Lin Duoer was always bragging about her brother, making some people follow her. If they could just beat Lin Yun and leave him with no dignity, would those people still keep following Lin Duoer?
Would Lin Duoer still dare to brag about her brother all the time?
Once Lin Duoer's gang was disbanded, wouldn't they be able to do whatever they wanted in this school?
"There are too many people here, let's find a less crowded place to settle this!" Lin Duoer looked around and suggested.
"Alright!" Hearing Lin Duoer's words, Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
This was close to the school entrance, and there were too many people around.
If anything happened, it would easily alert the school security and leadership.
Lin Duoer and Lin Yun were just two people and could easily run away.
If they caught a few of their group, they would be in trouble.
Soon, they arrived in a secluded place.
There were many old buildings around, some of them half-demolished.
When they arrived, some boys were smoking here.
Obviously, this was a gathering place for bad students.
Many schools had such places.
Seeing so many people coming over, the faces of many of the boys who were smoking changed, and they quickly left, afraid of being involved.
They could tell that this was going to be a gang fight.
At this time, it might be hard for both sides to tell who was who.
What if these people beat them up too? They'd have nowhere to cry.
Even if they weren't targeted, if the incident alerted the school security and administration, they'd still be in trouble for being present.
Of course, there were also those who were not afraid, watching from a distance.
"Looks like it's Liu Yuan..."
"Is that Lin Duoer?"
"Could it be that Liu Yuan wants to lay a hand on Lin Duoer?"
"Why is there no one around Lin Duoer? Wait, there's another person with her who doesn't look like a student..."
The notorious students were observing from a distance, discussing among themselves.
There weren't many popular students in school, but many recognized Liu Yuan and Lin Duoer.
"That's Lin Duoer's brother, Lin Yun..."
Some notorious students, well-informed as they were, knew Lin Yun's identity and shared excitedly.
Lin Yun!
The legendary, once unbeatable figure from their school!
Liu Yuan, part of a huge thug group of their school...
Now that Lin Yun had arrived, what would become of Liu Yuan and his gang?
However, the numbers were heavily skewed. Liu Yuan had dozens of people on his side, while Lin Duoer and Lin Yun were only two.
Looking at Liu Yuan's group, they seemed unafraid of Lin Yun and set on starting a fight.
"What? That's Lin Yun?"
Many of the notorious students were taken by surprise.
They were looking at the scene with anticipation.
Some of the notorious students who were planning to leave decided to stick around.
Watching a legendary figure in action could be worth the risk.
If they left now, they would surely regret it.
Lin Yun was the most famous person in their school over the years.
Of course, this was among the notorious students.
Liu Yuan became very excited at the commotion surrounding him.
Their confrontation with Lin Yun had grabbed the attention of so many notorious students.
Although Lin Yun had graduated five years ago, his reputation in their school didn't fade because of Lin Duoer; it had even grown stronger.
If they beat up Lin Yun, wouldn't their reputation spread instantly throughout the school?
They would likely gain a lot of new followers and increase their intimidation even when doing bad things.
Even though they were in their final year, they could only continue to run wild in the school for three to five more months.
At most, by repeating a year, they could be leaders for another year.
But wasn't their whole point in being thugs about saving face?
If they could leave behind some reputation in their school before graduation, just like Lin Yun once did, wouldn't that look impressive?
The highly reputed Lin Yun was perfect to be their stepping stone.
Yes, a stepping stone.
Thinking like this, Liu Yuan became increasingly excited, and his eyes shone brighter than ever.
"Alright, let's do it here!" Suddenly, Liu Yuan stopped, turned around, and looked at Lin Duoer and Lin Yun, who were following not far behind, and said.
Seeing Liu Yuan stop, the bunch of notorious students following him also halted. Dozens of people standing behind Liu Yuan presented quite an intimidating scene.
"Lin Yun, everyone talks about you as if you're some monster. Today I see, you're just ordinary!"
"Looking at you, you're not even as strong as some of us. Are all the tales of your prowess just exaggerations?"
"Rumors do make one believe a tiger has three heads..."
"It's really true that reputation exceeds the reality..."
A few notorious students behind Liu Yuan chuckled and sneered at Lin Yun and Lin Duoer, speaking dismissively.
Hearing the words of the people behind him, Liu Yuan felt even more self-satisfied.
At the time, he completely agreed with what the people behind him were saying.
Lin Yun was just so-so.
Indeed, reputation exceeds the reality.
At that moment, their morale was high.
He eagerly wanted to start a fight right away to establish their reputation.
But first, some diplomatic words needed to be exchanged.
The fight needed a trigger point.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to build up momentum.
In a fight, momentum was critical.
This was the experience Liu Yuan had gathered from many fights.
