Enter the Dragon

10 - Another Beaten

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Jennifer says with a very annoying smile.

To be honest, facing so many people again, I still feel a bit of tension. But in front of Jennifer, of course, it cannot be manifested. At least I should pretend not to be afraid. Otherwise, I will be ridiculed.

I shake my head and tell her that "You know nothing about a man's courage. I am Benjamin Schwartz. I've never been afraid of anyone before. I would prove that with my actions."

Obviously, Jennifer doesn't believe in me. She says, "It's okay. So you can still blow your own horn. You'll cry when you get beaten later." The expression on her face, when she speaks, is quite owed a beating.

All right, I still think I should give her a f**k! She walks towards the big tree next to her after finishing her words and stands there waiting to watch the play.

Wait and see! I won't let you get better if I am beaten! I will definitely avenge our feud! I spit and froth in the direction of Jennifer standing.

In the end, Jackson recognizes me from the crowd and reaches out to point in my direction. He speaks to the few group members nearby, and then they all walk toward me quickly.

In my deep heart, I know very well that it's no use running away at this time. As Jackson wants to block me, I can't hide from him every day unless I don't need to go to school. So I have to step forward by putting a bold face on it.

"Boss Four, it's him. He is always putting on airs and graces." Jackson and his group walk up to me and speaks to a nearby student with a head of curled-up hair, pointing at me with malicious eyes. This man is not George Epstein but another man in Five Little Dragons. He is the fourth dragon.

The man nods and looks at me with disdain. He walks over and pats my shoulder. With his nostrils facing up, he says, "Dude, I heard you are very brave. But I can't imagine how dare you still provoke us since you are beaten last time?" He touches the silver chain on his pants when he speaks, which is quite popular in our local area. I bet he thinks he is very fashionable and cool.

I may fail to distinguish them as the jerks around him dress very similarly to him. And they are full of anger to me. They were all present on the day of being beaten by the Five Little Dragons. And all members of Five Little Dragons are my enemies.

Jennifer walks past me, and the Dragon Fourth knows her and calls her 'sister-in-law'. It seems like their relationship is quite intimate. Jennifer smiles and gives me a look before leaving. I have to admit that she is beautiful while quite annoying.

Jennifer is still nearby. I cannot make her get the impression that I am a coward anymore. So I don't show any fear at all. I speak to them all, "Not too bad. Generally brave am I."

The Dragon Fourth is surprised. He curses and clenches his fist ready to hit me. Jackson wants to retaliate against and deal with me. I know there would be fighting among us. So I am well prepared. Taking a step back, I dodge the Forth Dragon's fist.

Although I still feel a little scared when facing them by myself, there are also some other feelings that are indescribable besides being afraid. It seems like a voice inside my heart is shouting at me at the maximum volume that you, Benjamin, are not a coward. Not a tit! I can feel the blood flooding my body ignited.

I glance around and find a brick under the big tree next to the street. The fact that I knelt down to the Big Dragon Brother makes me understand that it is useless to keep weak, it will only cause deeper damage to myself.

If I have dared to be tough enough and fight against the Big Dragon Brother, perhaps there wouldn't have been that result. So when Jackson and his group hit me, I must show them my toughness and let them understand it at once.

Dodged his fist, the Dragon Fourth looks a bit anxious. He continues to curse and pounce at me. I keep stepping back and being ready to pick the brick up. As I am going to get the brick, Jackson suddenly shouts in a loud voice, "WTF! He wants to take the brick!"

The group of people, especially the Dragon Fourth, turn pale after hearing his words. The Dragon Fourth is very angry when he can't hit me. Seeing that I am about to pick up a brick, he becomes even more angry and shouts at me, "Kill him!"

As soon as his words finish, those people rush over to me and one of them kicks me hard in the butt. I am unstable and stumbled to the ground again. As I fall to the ground, they greet me with their fists and feet. Their attacks are quite fierce. I hold my head in both hands and shrink into a ball. I can feel that my back is constantly being kicked hard by countless feet. The jerks in our area are very aggressive! They're going to kill me.

I see a familiar face from the crowd, who is Andrew Brown. He looks over to us and knows that they are the Five Little Dragons and then he nervously dodges to the side. I feel my heart getting cold.

After kicking me around for a while, the Dragon Fourth says "Enough! Stop now!" and they all stop except Jackson. He comes up again to kick me with another foot. "If you can't kill me, I will kill you in the future. This must be revenged!" I tell myself in my heart.

The Dragon Fourth sees that Jackson doesn't stop. The Dragon Fourth gives Jackson a scolding shove, spits, and says, "f**k you! Can you hear me now?"

Jackson still wants to hit me, but he fears the Dragon Fourth. Thus, he could only stare at me glumly.

Then the Dragon Fourth squats down. He pulls at my hair with one hand and pats my face with the other, asking, "Do you still want to provoke us now?"
