The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)

181 The Enemies Reunite

“Kenny, Oscar Chopper ran away,” Renu exclaimed to Kenny who was still busy fighting with Lee Mu Fei.

Renu’s shout made the people there stunned even though they were still fighting, especially all of Oscar’s men.

So, they were abandoned by the leader? Impressive wasn’t it?

Afei who heard it also smiled lopsidedly. He didn’t seem surprised at what Oscar did, “Coward,” he muttered. He knew what was going through in Oscar’s men’s minds right now. Then he shouted, “You are all still my men. Fight for me,”

What was previously an enemy was now turned into a friend. The men of Oscar and Lee Mu Fei who were attacking each other had now switched their targets. The two sides were now no longer under the leadership of two hostile leaders. Oscar running away from the fight and leaving all his men was a strong sign that he was no longer competent to be a leader and declared his resignation.

All of Oscar’s men didn’t think much to accept Lee Mu Fei’s call as an order, because for those who had experienced what it was like to be Lee Mu Fei’s subordinates finding that returned to the commander was something to be grateful for. From the start, no one liked to be under Oscar Chopper’s leadership.

With the complete return of the Creeper’s unity, it seemed that RJC’s opponents had doubled and focused on attacking one target.

Kenny and Renu realized that they had to work harder this time. They should start fighting quite seriously from now.

Renu understood that Kenny was forced to leave all the rest of the fight to him because the ponytailed hair man was facing off against Lee Mu Fei who was the most powerful leader of Creeper.

.....

“I don’t think I should bring my son,” Renu muttered while snickering languidly. The attacks kept coming at him, which he responded with punches and kicks.

The remaining members for Renu to bring were no more than fifteen men. They had to fight dozens of men in the not spacious room. Luckily, Renu had nimble feet. With many interiors that he could climb for jump everywhere, he was quite superior in the fight.

Kenny managed to grab onto Lee Mu Fei’s jacket and he immediately lifted the man up and slammed him against a glass table until it shattered. However, this seemed to not affect Lee Mu Fei at all. The man easily stood up again by kicking his legs in the air to jump up.

Then Kenny ran towards Lee Mu Fei who had gotten up and threw a kick to his stomach followed by a fist to his chest. However, Lee Mu Fei’s two hands were so quick and skilful to parry all of Kenny’s attacks. If Kenny moved one punch, then Lee Mu Fei could counter it with five hand movements. In combat, such a multitude and speed of movement would confuse an opponent who didn’t use to it.

Then Kenny took a few steps back with a stance on his feet and both fists steady in front of his chest. He saw Lee Mu Fei’s completely calm face. The man with the sharp eyes gave a different foot-stance from Kenny’s. And his hands were not giving a fist gesture, but the palms were open and the thumbs were bent inward. His face looked flat, but his eyes were like a snake ready to peck its prey.

From the posture that Lee Mu Fei showed, Kenny knew that he could not underestimate him. Maybe, this would be different from the fights Kenny usually did. Before, he had always faced enemies who used street fight techniques, boxing, or even those who had firearms. But to deal with a true Kung Fu user, to be honest, he had never been.

Kenny stepped back and threw a high kick to hit Lee Mu Fei’s arms. But the kick was immediately parried with the two palms of the god. And Lee Mu Fei quickly retaliated with almost the same kick motion. The two of them stepped back from each other to study the gap and launched another attack. All attacks that each gave successfully parried. Arms hit arms, elbows hit elbows, and punches that just hit the air.

Kenny excelled in strength and body size, while Lee Mu Fei excelled in speed and balance. When Kenny threw one jab, he didn’t notice that Lee Mu Fei’s hand swiftly flew up and down to stroke his fist right inside Kenny’s elbow. This made Kenny lower his arm which instantly felt numb. At that moment, Lee Mu Fei quickly kicked Kenny’s chest in the middle which sent the big man flying backwards.

Lee Mu Fei’s right leg was still stretched out in the air with his hands still in the same position, straight in front of his chest. His body didn’t sway an inch even though he was only standing on one leg. Slowly, he lowered his right leg back to the original stance.

Lee Mu Fei’s punch was indeed not as hard as Kenny’s, but Kenny could feel the heat inside the man’s punch. Kenny came back forward and now he was picking up speed. He lunged at Lee Mu Fei with punches and kicks. Because he raised his speed level, Kenny managed to hit Lee Mu Fei. His punches managed to hit the jaw and the side of Lee Mu Fei’s chin. Then he caught up with him with a powerful kick from the side which instantly sent Lee Mu Fei flying down.

Lee Mu Fei wiped the side of his lip that was bleeding out. Kenny did hit him very hard. It was so strong that it made his body bounce. Their weights were contradictory. But Kenny wasn’t the first big man that Lee Mu Fei had ever conquered.

Creeper had been around since the Chingsu Paper Company was founded. Even before Lee Mu Fei fought as an adult, he had fought many times since he was a child. He was the only son in the family who had to protect his mother and his sisters. When he was still living in the village, Lee Mu Fei had learned with an old man who had very great Wing Chun abilities. From there, he gained the ability to protect the people he cared about. Because of that, he had already fought many kinds of men.

Lee Mu Fei rose to his feet after wiping off his blood. He immediately jumped to launch a flying kick towards Kenny’s head which was immediately parried by the man’s big arm.

Kenny retaliated with a fist that he also aimed at Lee Mu Fei’s head, but missed because the man immediately dodged and instead aimed his punch at Kenny’s ribs. He frowned and swiftly grabbed Lee Mu Fei’s clothes by the back and grabbed his upper body before slamming him back.

To Lee Mu Fei, Kenny was indeed very strong. He was slammed with his head and hump hitting the floor first. Even though he felt hard pain, Lee Mu Fei was famous for having iron bones. He immediately stood up and attacked Kenny who still had no time to put on a stance back. Lee Mu Fei kicked him, even when he was still not in a standing position. His kick hit the side of Kenny’s knee which immediately made him stagger to the side.

But Kenny was not weak in taking a hit. He returned to his original place and threw a high kick at Lee Mu Fei who was back on his feet and of course, he managed to parry him with his crossed arms. But with that, Kenny quickly aimed his punch at Lee Mu Fei’s solar plexus, causing the man to be moved back a few steps. Then they again clashed punches and kicks.

The punch that Kenny threw at Lee Mu Fei was powerful to instantly send him blew when it hit him. However, Lee Mu Fei also managed to hit Kenny more, albeit with an unbalanced force.

From the outside, Lee Mu Fei’s condition was far more pathetic than Kenny Brown’s. Lee Mu Fei’s face was covered in bruises and bleeding wounds.

But Kenny didn’t think that he was superior to the man whose face was battered but still managed to put on a calm expression. Kenny was holding back the pain raging inside his big body.

‘Shit! He attacks slowly but sure,’ Kenny thought to himself. It turned out to be Lee Mu Fei’s way of attacking the enemy whose body and strength was greater than his.

From earlier, Kenny realized that the man was deliberately targeting fatal spots on his body. Every time Kenny gave a hit, Lee Mu Fei could retaliate with five to seven hits. The sharp-eyed man cast his attack on Kenny’s body, giving it light but many punches. If Kenny wasn’t an attack-reading person and sensitive to his own body, he would probably only realise when his body suddenly collapsed from those small, usually-ignored attacks.

Kenny glanced at Renu who was still fighting along with some of their men who were already half left from the first time they came. It seemed that some Creeper members had fled from the arena to inform the entire Chingsu District that Oscar Chopper had escaped and that all the men had been pulled back under Commander Lee Mu Fei’s leadership. This made several Creeper members start arriving at the main headquarters.

Renu saw Kenny was glancing at him. He immediately looked into Kenny’s eyes even though they were both busy fighting. It was as if they realized that things weren’t going as smoothly as they had planned and were starting to regret bringing too few men on this mission.
