84: Chapter 84: Strength 84: Chapter 84: Strength Six people exited the vehicle, mostly young men in their twenties, with one man in his forties.

All five youths, brimming with arrogance and reeking of alcohol, looked fiercely at James Brown upon hearing Little Missy’s words.

When Emma Campbell saw these six people, her body went limp.

There were six of them, and they looked ferocious.

James Brown was just one person.

How could he possibly defeat all six?

She felt incredibly frustrated.

Big Brother Brown, although formidable, had police friends to help him.

Now, without those friends, if they started a fight, James Brown was definitely going to suffer.

Even if his police friends came to help afterward, he would still be in trouble at the moment.

As she internally berated herself, Emma felt a gentle pat on her shoulder, looked up, and saw James Brown’s confident gaze and gentle smile, which instantly dispelled her fear once again.

She didn’t know why, but she believed James would handle the situation.

“Damn, you’ve got some nerve touching my people—it’s like you’ve got the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard,” said the tallest and largest of the young men, who snorted coldly and walked up to James Brown.

Facing Brother Bob’s gaze, James said coldly, “And you are…?”

“What the f***!” Brother Bob, who had been highly influential over the past two years, wasn’t someone to be trifled with by ordinary thugs in YODC City.

However, James Brown, who appeared ordinary, was utterly disregarded by him.

Now, towards such an audacious statement from James, he couldn’t contain his anger and cursed, raising his hand to strike James’s face.

“Get lost!” James kicked out, sending Brother Bob’s hefty body of over 200 pounds flying straight into Emily Johnson and Little Missy, knocking both girls to the ground and causing them to cry out in pain.

The oldest among the six, John Smith, immediately grinned.

He was the one who had deceived Emma Campbell’s father out of money and had been beaten by James Brown before.

Because it was night during his last encounter at his home, he hadn’t remembered James’s face clearly.

But now, seeing James kicking Brother Bob away with ease, he knew he hadn’t been mistaken and quickly shouted, “Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding!”

The other thugs, initially ready to fight, stopped in their tracks, and by then, James had recognized John Smith.

Snorting, he said, “Long time no see.”

John Smith, feeling uneasy under James’s stare, quickly plastered on a smile and said, “Big Brother, this matter is a misunderstanding, don’t be angry.”

By then, Brother Bob had jumped up, his body proving to be strong.

James’s kick had sent him flying, but it hadn’t injured him, mainly because James had not used his full strength.

“John Smith, who is this guy?” Brother Bob, holding back his anger, stood next to John Smith, his teeth clenched as he glared at James.

“This…” John Smith really couldn’t answer.

Although he had been subdued by James, he didn’t know what kind of influence James had.

“What, he’s your friend?” Brother Bob snorted coldly.

John Smith grimaced and said, “Well…

we’ve met once.” He suddenly had an idea.

Although he had suffered greatly last time and had been fuming about it, he knew his men weren’t fighters, and he was not very strong himself, just passable at the county level.

Thus, he hadn’t considered seeking revenge on James.

But Brother Bob was much stronger than him, with dozens of underlings.

If Brother Bob clashed with James, even if James was formidable, he couldn’t win against Brother Bob.

So, his speech turned back, but he kept one eye open, not completely siding with Brother Bob, instead he made an ambiguous statement.

Upon hearing this, Brother Bob roared, “Damn it, you dare to hit me?

No matter who you are today, I’m not letting you off.

Guys, get him!”

The five men charged at once.

They were used to fighting—brutal and coordinated in their attacks, some punched, some kicked, targeting head and legs, from front and back, usually overwhelming their opponent instantly.

But today, they were dealing with James Brown.

No matter how well-coordinated they were, in James’s eyes, they were full of openings.

Even while holding Emma, he was already counterattacking.

Kicking out, he hit Brother Bob’s abdomen, and once again, the man flew off, landing precisely on Emily Johnson and Little Missy who had just gotten up.

This time, Brother Bob landed much harder, nearly squeezing everything out of them.

James’s foot didn’t retract but quickly swept to the right, stepping on the leg that was kicking at him.

Using that force, he unbelievably leapt into the air while holding Emma, avoiding all attacks from the other four.

Before they could even comprehend what had happened, James spun 360 degrees in the air, his legs kicking out.

The four men flew off like butterflies scattered in different directions.

As they hit the ground, James finally landed with Emma.

John Smith was completely dumbfounded at this point.

Was this a fight?

It was more like a movie scene, just like John Johnson!

Meanwhile, Brother Bob and his four buddies were groaning on the ground, unable to get up for a while.

James Brown, although he didn’t go all out to break their arms or legs, had given them enough to handle.

James Brown gently patted Emma Campbell’s shoulder and softly said, “It’s over now.”

Emma Campbell opened her eyes and saw the people lying around her.

Her eyes widened in disbelief.

With such Martial Arts Skills, five strong men had been defeated by James Brown.

Emma was both shocked and overjoyed, not knowing what to say, just holding on to James Brown tightly.

At that moment, James Brown, holding Emma Campbell, walked up to Brother Bob and kicked him, saying coldly, “Are you convinced now?”

Brother Bob clenched his fists tightly, glowering at James Brown.

He wanted to say something harsh, but thinking about that kick James had delivered from the air, he lost all his nerve.

There were five of them, and James had knocked them all down in an instant.

How could they fight him?

“Get out of here,” James Brown barked again.

Brother Bob’s facial muscles twitched, but he struggled to move aside.

James Brown didn’t pay attention to Brother Bob anymore, instead, he coldly stared at Emily Johnson.

By now, Emily was pale with fear.

She had never seen someone so formidable.

As she backed away, she stammered, “Big Brother, Big Brother, I was wrong.

Please don’t hit me, don’t hit me.”

James Brown snorted, “Do you really realize your mistake?”

“I do, I do!” Emily Johnson nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with extreme panic.

“Considering that you are Emma’s roommate, I’ll let it slide this time.

But if I ever hear you’ve bullied Emma again…” James Brown left a threatening silence hanging.

Emily Johnson’s body shook.

Hurrying her words, she said, “Yes, yes, I’ll never bully Emma again.

From now on, Emma is my boss, my Big Sister.

I’ll do whatever she tells me to, and if she wants my boyfriend, I’ll give him to her.”

“Rubbish!” James Brown’s eyes widened in anger.

Emily slapped herself in the mouth, flustered, “I’m talking nonsense.

How could Emma be interested in my boyfriend?

Emma belongs to you; I deserve to be hit!” Afterward, she gave herself a couple of theatrical slaps.

James Brown snorted, then, without giving them another glance, he said to Emma Campbell, “Emma, let’s go.”

“Okay!” Emma Campbell nodded.

Her cheeks flushed, arms tightly wrapped around James Brown’s waist.

Even though she knew James Brown was capable, she hadn’t expected him to be this powerful.

What girl doesn’t have a hero complex?

Emma was no exception, and just now, James Brown had definitely played the hero, making her like him even more.

“Uncle!

It’s you!” Just as they had walked a few steps, a girl came running straight toward them.

Approaching James Brown, she cried out in surprise.

James Brown didn’t expect to encounter Charlotte, the little miss he had spent a couple of days with while he and Gina Lopez shared an apartment.

They had ridden the bus together several times and hadn’t seen each other since.

Smiling, James Brown replied, “Yes, it’s me.

What are you doing here?”

Charlotte’s eyes, sparkling with admiration, grabbed James Brown’s arm excitedly, “Uncle, you are so cool!

Wow, fighting five guys by yourself and making it look so effortless.

You are so handsome, whoa…”

James Brown broke into a cold sweat.

The place where they had fought was supposed to be quite secluded, and he had moved quickly when fighting, just to avoid being seen.

But not only was he seen, he was seen by Charlotte, the little miss, giving him a bad feeling that she would cling to him now.

“Uncle, uncle, I just love you so much.

Can I be your girlfriend?

Can I be your wife?

Uncle, is it okay?” Charlotte looked at James Brown with stars in her eyes.

She was so excited that her words tumbled out incoherently, making James Brown’s face burn.

The young girls of today really are bold, not afraid to say anything.

Just as he wondered how to respond, Charlotte suddenly noticed Emma Campbell, who had been clinging to James Brown all along, and instantly her eyes narrowed as she demanded, “Uncle, who is she?”

That demeanor, that tone, that possessiveness, all seemed like a legitimate girlfriend discovering her boyfriend’s infidelity.
