My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 191 - 190: Help Us

Lv Bai lay on the windowsill, observing in secret.

Xia staggered down the street, clearly in a state of daze.

It has been said before, in places like Chikan Bay, crime is the norm.

The way Xia presents himself naturally makes him easy prey.

The two men smoking at the alley entrance noticed Xia, exchanged a glance, and then got up to approach him.

Xia wobbled as he got up, avoided the trash can, and continued forward.

But upon closer observation, one would notice his gaze was unfocused, resembling a walking corpse.

This made the two malicious men not need to cause trouble purposely; they simply needed to stand in Xia’s path, waiting for him to bump into them.

And sure enough, that’s exactly what happened.

Xia bumped into the chest of one of the burly men, causing himself to fall onto the ground.

He shook his head, struggled to focus his sight: "Sorry."

Xia apologized instinctively and intended to get up to continue walking.

However, the burly man had no intention of letting him off lightly, quickly reached out and grabbed his neck.

"What? Just saying sorry and that’s it? Such cheap things don’t exist in this world."

The burly man’s grip was strong, tightly squeezing Xia’s neck making his face gradually turn crimson.

Xia’s eyes turned red as well.

Not due to grievance or fear, but an extraordinary anger.

He uttered a hoarse sound, his fists fiercely striking the burly man’s hand gripping his neck.

"Oh, quite stubborn." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

After all, with his neck getting choked, Xia’s attacks certainly couldn’t affect the burly man much.

The burly man even had the time to wink at his companion, the two bursting into laughter together.

The burly man laughed for a while and, before Xia could pass out from suffocation, threw him to the ground.

The two circled Xia, one ahead one behind, the burly man raised his pants leg casually squatted down, slapping Xia’s face twice.

Xia’s eyes were bloodshot, coughing violently, not yet recovered from the feeling of suffocation.

The burly man seeing this, unabashedly said: "Little Green Hair, you bumped into me painfully, luckily my buddy and I are in a good mood today, how about this, just compensate us a few thousand and I’ll let this slide."

Xia covered his neck, drawing deep breaths like a worn-out bellows.

Barely recovering, he fiercely stared at the burly man.

"Cough! Cough... What are you imagining? Trying to extort me, Ma Qingyun?"

The burly man exchanged a glance with his companion, who asked softly: "Where do you hang out?"

"Go ask around Peace Branch Road, who doesn’t know Xiao Ma?"

Xia attempted to use his self-proclaimed moniker to scare off the two men, his expression quite fierce.

Unfortunately, he didn’t succeed.

"Xiao Ma? Never heard of him."

The two burly men not only weren’t frightened but rather relieved.

They were indeed worried that this spontaneous extortion might offend some major force in Chikan Bay, which might require silencing Xia.

Now that Xia was known to be a nobody, they naturally no longer feared any retaliation.

"I almost got scared by you, seems the compensation needs to be raised further, otherwise we can’t mend our mental damage."

The burly man intended to joke with his partner as he spoke the last half of the sentence.

But at that moment, lifting his head, he suddenly saw Lv Bai standing unknowingly behind his partner.

What shocked and terrified him most was the handgun Lv Bai held, its dark muzzle gradually aiming at his partner’s temple.

The burly man panickedly reached out his palm.

"Watch out..."

BANG!

Lv Bai smiled and pulled the trigger.

A bloody hole appeared on the temple of the burly man’s companion, who instantly fell to the ground lifeless.

"You!"

The burly man was about to rise in anger.

But Lv Bai didn’t give the burly man a chance, suddenly disappearing from his original spot.

When he reappeared, his palm was already on the burly man’s forehead, slamming his head heavily toward the ground.

With a tooth-grinding thud, the burly man lost most of his awareness.

Lv Bai’s right hand lowered, clutched the burly man’s throat, making him instantly suffocate, unable to utter a word.

"Then let me ask you, where do you hang out?"

Lv Bai knelt on one knee, one hand holding the gun, the other gripping tightly the burly man’s throat.

"Heh, seems you’re a tough nut, so I’ll have to oblige you."

He increased the strength in his hand with a smile, the burly man’s hands immediately started to wave frantically, struggling fiercely.

But it was of no actual use, a moment later, the burly man’s eyes flipped, suffocated to death.

Xia: "Huh?" Might it be possible you were choking him and he couldn’t speak at all?

The latter sentence, Xia now only dared say in his mind.

Lying between the two, he clearly knew what had just happened.

Watching the entire scene left Xia dumbstruck, his mouth falling open out of sheer shock.

He hadn’t anticipated that Lv Bai would be the one to rescue him, nor did he expect this seemingly harmless gentleman to possess such formidable skills.

The contrast was too striking.

Especially Lv Bai’s calm demeanor when firing, without a blink of an eye, made Xia feel intense terror and dread.

How many people has he killed to be this nonchalant?

Recalling his earlier attitude toward Lv Bai, Xia couldn’t help but feel a sense of post-trauma relief.

But soon, a powerful hope arose within him, unstoppable.

"Lv..."

"Lv Bai." Lv Bai kindly reminded him.

"Oh oh, Brother Bai."

Xia, or rather Ma Qingyun, immediately stumbled and knelt before Lv Bai: "Please help me, I beg you! Please save Xia Mei, only you can help us now!"

Upon hearing this, Lv Bai raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

...

Xia was very emotional, recounting things in a broken manner.

Yet Lv Bai still understood the gist.

"You mean a group of people broke into the store and abducted her?"

He casually helped Xia up from the ground, calmly confirming: "Isn’t that strange? Where’s your social organization’s intervention?"

"I approached Master Ma... Ma Anguo, this group has considerable power, that old guy wouldn’t dare provoke them."

Xia’s fists clenched, his face filled with resentment.

If not for Lv Bai’s formidable display providing him hope, he’d have gone off alone to face death by now.

"I see."

Lv Bai nodded thoughtfully.

Leaving aside how melodramatic this forceful abduction was, the timing was unexpectedly coincidental, wasn’t it?
