....

A bunch of flattery, starting with thanks, then praising Li Yu's upright physique, clearly marking him as a big shot, blah blah blah.

Not even Li Tie and Li Gang in the back were spared.

They complimented Li Tie and the others to the point of embarrassment.

It was truly the first time Li Yu had been praised so much, making him a bit uncomfortable.

So he chuckled and said, "No need to be polite, stop flattering. Just say what you have to say."

Li Yu's smile was gentle, ever since he killed Guan Zhongjin, he looked like a sunshine boy.

Handsome and optimistic, with a smile on his face, he looked like such a kind person. Surely, such a kind person would help them again, right?

Opposite him was a middle-aged man with triangular eyes, looking somewhat seedy.

When he saw Li Yu's expression, he understood.

With his pre-Doomsday experience, he had a hundred ways to achieve his goals with naive good guys like this.

First, he would flatter them, then morally coerce them; it was always effective, and he succeeded every time.

Li Yu's attitude made him feel like he was back before Doomsday, boosting his confidence again.

So, he said to Li Yu, "Boss, we were locked up by that damned Motorcycle Gang for so long, they didn't give us food, and many of us starved to death. Luckily, you saved us.

But we've been hungry for so long, you see, I'm so hungry I can barely stand."

He looked pale, swayed his body slightly, pretending to be on the verge of collapse but holding on.

At this point, he stopped talking.

From his experience, once reached this point, it's usually enough.

Don't speak first, let the other side speak first.

If you speak first, it's begging. If they speak first, it's giving.

Later, you can say, "I never asked you for it, you insisted on giving it to me.

However, Li Yu seemed to not understand, still smiling brightly.

Only a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Not responding to the middle-aged man's words, just watching him perform quietly.

The middle-aged man waited a while but didn't get a response from Li Yu.

He cursed in his heart: Why is this kid so clueless?

Poor comprehension!

The other people nearby murmured softly: "He Mazi, your plan isn't working, can you be more direct?"

"Shut up."

The middle-aged man adjusted his expression, thinking: Looks like I need to hint a little.

So, he said: "Well, you see they're all taking food. There's so much food they probably can't finish it, right? And they can't eat it all, it's such a waste, don't you think?"

As he spoke, he pointed at Old Huang's group who were carrying things.

The woman standing nearby rolled her eyes at him and snorted disdainfully.

Li Yu kept smiling, even more brilliantly, and said with a grin: "Then what should we do?"

The middle-aged man was overjoyed, his wrinkled face bloomed like a peach blossom: "Give it to us, we can handle it for you."

"Handle your ass," Li Tie muttered softly beside him.

He knew the big brother was playing with them a little, so it wasn't good to curse directly.

Who doesn't know how precious food is in Doomsday?

Wasting food, making it look like giving them food is helping oneself.

Truly shameless.

"Handle?" Li Yu chuckled.

The smile on his face faded a bit, and his tone took a 180-degree turn.

"I don't think that's necessary at all."

Seeing Li Yu's attitude change significantly, the middle-aged man's expression changed drastically.

He couldn't react, something wasn't right, this wasn't how it was supposed to go.

The nearby Lai Zi couldn't hold back anymore, thinking that since Li Yu saved them, he must be a good person.

Good people are to be bullied—in his worldview.

So, even though these good people had weapons, he wasn't afraid.

So, a bit displeased, he said to Li Yu, "You can give food to them, why not to us? You can't be partial, it's not fair."

What a notion of unfairness.

Li Yu was no longer interested in toying with them, as it had reached this point, it wasn't very amusing anymore.

So he said, "No." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The tone was cold and firm.

Instantly, the group was outraged.

They all said to Li Yu:

"Looks like I was wrong about you, thought you were someone special. Turns out, very disappointing."

"Haha, I said earlier, they aren't good people either."

"So stingy, not even a bit of food for us."

"Yes, people like this are really hypocritical. It's said you should finish what you start, but he only does it halfway."

......

The crowd was in a frenzy, buzzing with discussion.

Li Yu listened clearly, and Li Tie beside him couldn't hold back anymore, so he angrily cursed: "You bunch of ungrateful people, why should we give you food? Ridiculous."

Li Yu's expression was cold, he had seen this kind of attitude too often.

But, Li Yu's silence was seen by these people as weakness, thinking they held the moral high ground, believing they were justified.

Thus, the middle-aged man also said: "Doomsday is hard for everyone. Your actions don't unite people, won't last long. In my view, you should give us some food; we're not asking for much, just as much as you gave them. We will be grateful to you.
