All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 70: Progress +2

"Bro, put your wallet away first!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The bald man thought Su Xin didn’t hear his reminder, so he hurriedly leaned in again and used his body to block the bulging wallet.

Su Xin smiled bitterly in his heart.

This bald man looked rough and fierce, but unexpectedly his temper was quite mild, especially after Su Xin offered to pay the bill, he became even more enthusiastic.

However, such enthusiasm from the other party would only affect Su Xin’s next plan.

Su Xin had no choice but to lean in closer to the bald man’s ear and whispered softly, "Actually, I have two bodyguards following me discreetly. I’m hoping someone causes some trouble later to give me a little thrill. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."

Then.

Under the bald man’s confused and surprised gaze, Su Xin handed the money to the waiter and waved generously, "No need for change."

"Alright, the bill’s settled. If there’s nothing else, you guys eat slowly, and I’ll be off."

Su Xin waved his hand.

While casually stuffing the bulging wallet into his pants pocket, he walked out.

At a table not far away, two young men with sly looks exchanged a glance, and seeing Su Xin walk further away, they also paid the bill and left.

The bald man hesitated for a moment at this sight, but remembering Su Xin’s confident demeanor, he eventually sat back down.

...

Leaving the snack street behind, the surroundings were noticeably less lively, but pedestrians still flowed continuously.

However, the security situation here was far inferior to Su Xin’s past life, and since it was already evening, the police had looser control over public safety than during the day. Those two young men following Su Xin didn’t want to wait any longer and directly rushed to intercept him from both front and back.

"Kid, you just ran into me and don’t even know to say sorry. What, trying to start something?"

Su Xin looked confused, "What?"

One of them directly pushed Su Xin, shouting angrily, "Are you deaf? I said you ran into me earlier and walked away without a word. Did you do it on purpose?"

At this point, the young man behind Su Xin pretended to persuade nicely, "Gang, forget it, just let the kid pay some medical expenses. He doesn’t look too old, don’t beat him... Hey, kid, hurry and pay Gang some medical expenses. Gang has a bad temper; once he starts a fight, no one can stop him."

"Little Tiger, stop talking. Today I must beat him up. This kid..."

"Gang, don’t act rashly. Let’s just settle for some medical expenses. If you can avoid a fight, do it."

Ignoring the duo’s routine, Su Xin looked at Gang with disbelief:

"But, I don’t see any injuries on him?"

Seeing this, the young man called Little Tiger behind Su Xin had no mood to pretend to be kind and directly slapped the back of Su Xin’s head.

"Stop a**ing around. If I say give it, you give it. Do you really want Gang to beat you until you hand over your money? Is there a reason you’re asking for a beating?"

Su Xin furrowed his brows, thinking in his heart, "There it is, I feel a bit angry."

But suddenly it hit him, and he found himself surprisingly happy, with the anger quietly fading away.

This left him speechless.

"Damn, it’s actually kind of hard to get angry."

After all, emotions are indeed hard to control subjectively, like when someone encounters something particularly sad; even knowing it’s bad to wallow in negative feelings, it’s not easy to break free.

Similarly, when a person has a clear purpose to get angry, it turns out to be not so easy to get angry.

Especially since Su Xin now has all kinds of supernatural abilities; just the immortality aspect gives him unparalleled confidence. Even if he doesn’t show it normally, subconsciously, he harbors a mindset of being superior, looking down on the masses, making it hard for such weaklings to stir any emotional waves.

Plus, being too deliberate made him see their antics with a kind of zoo performance mindset, making it hard to truly get angry.

The situation is somewhat akin to an adult teasing a little toddler; even if the child punches and kicks, he might not get angry but feel it’s amusing.

Of course, Su Xin’s mindset couldn’t possibly be this good, but the duo’s actions currently still posed no threat in his eyes and failed to ignite his anger.

Seeing Su Xin still unmoved, the duo couldn’t bother with formalities anymore.

Little Tiger reached into Su Xin’s pocket, trying to forcefully take his wallet.

Gang stepped forward too, raising his hand to slap Su Xin’s face.

"Damn, refusing a toast only to drink a penalty cup!"

It’s true Su Xin wanted to be angry, but he wouldn’t be stupid enough to let someone slap his face, so he raised his arm to block the slap.

If arguing doesn’t work, then it’s time for a fight.

Once you start fighting, it’s bound to get real.

With this thought, Su Xin faced the two punks without fear; instead, he bravely charged forward, engaging in a scuffle with Gang.

"Punks, all you want is to grab my cash, but I’ll die before giving you a penny."

Su Xin taunted while fighting.

In the chaos of being surrounded and beaten from both sides, he soon fell into a disadvantage, being constantly hit by punches and kicks, quickly getting injured.

Though Su Xin could resurrect infinitely, the pain from being hit was not diminished in the slightest.

As the intense pain coursed through him, he soon genuinely became angry, grabbing Gang and delivering heavy blows, ignoring Little Tiger’s attacks from behind.

The three tangled together crazily, while most passersby either watched from afar or quietly bypassed the area, as if they were accustomed to such happenings.

When fighting, Su Xin still maintained a certain level of sanity. With a thought, he set his task target on the duo.

Before long, he heard two crisp system prompts in his mind as desired.

"Ding! [Empathy] progress +1."

"Ding! [Empathy] progress +1."

Hearing this, Su Xin couldn’t help but feel secretly pleased; even with the severe pain and a swollen face, it couldn’t hide his good mood at this moment.

"To thank you guys, I’ll gamble my life with you today!"

Su Xin grinned.

The blood all over his mouth made his lips exceptionally bright, and his teeth appeared scarlet, making his smile seem sinister.

Gang, beaten repeatedly by Su Xin, was not a coward, but seeing Su Xin’s injured figure flashing this smile, he felt an inexplicable chill.

Behind Su Xin, Little Tiger continued to unleash kicks and punches relentlessly.

Yet Su Xin acted as if he didn’t feel it, smashing his head viciously into Gang’s nose, leaving the latter with snot and tears streaming, losing the power to resist.

Little Tiger found Su Xin really fierce, and seeing how hard he fought, didn’t dare escalate things further, quickly pulling Gang away to flee.

"Tch, weaklings! Ouch..."

Su Xin swayed as he stood up, feeling intense pain throughout his body, with his eyes so swollen that he could barely open them.
