24 Chapter 24: A Five-On-One With Just Hands

"Are they always this slow? Can't they speed up a bit? I'm getting hungry!" Robert waited in a secluded alley for Dimitri and his gang to arrive, but the sluggish pace of these five guys left him dissatisfied.

"Huh? This guy is actually waiting for us? He knows we're coming to trouble him? Is he planning to yield?" When Dimitri and his four companions saw Robert waiting in the alley, they were momentarily stunned, and their momentum weakened by a third. After all, solving problems without a fight is always best.

"Kid, you're quite sensible. Since you're so understanding, we won't trouble you. Just stay away from Kara from now on, and we won't bother you!" After regaining their composure, Dimitri and his gang nodded in approval at Robert.

"Shouldn't you be discussing this matter with Miss Kara?" Robert spread his hands in feigned helplessness and said softly, "After all, you know, I've just arrived at school and haven't intended to socialize. She approached me first…"

"Shut up!" Before Robert could finish, he was interrupted by five simultaneous shouts of anger. Dimitri and his gang glared at Robert, their diminished aura flaring up once again.

What a joke? Who does Kara think she is? A goddess! How could a goddess take the initiative? It's all fake, all imagined by Robert! Especially since Kara had never approached them before, except for warning them today...

Thinking this, Dimitri and his companions felt even more bitter. After all, Kara warning them for Robert's sake seemed to prove something, but they still refused to believe it!

"It seems we can't come to an agreement..." Honestly, Robert didn't quite understand the thoughts of Dimitri and his gang. He looked at the angry five, shrugged, and said with a smile, "So, you have two choices: either go find Kara later, ask her not to get too close to me and bring me trouble, or keep yourselves away from me. I'm not interested in Kara!"

"Hmph! Jerk! How dare you speak ill of me behind my back!" Kara, far away in the school, clenched her teeth in anger, looking furious.

After hearing Robert's words, Dimitri and his gang didn't immediately get angry but were stunned instead. They not only failed to understand where Robert's confidence came from but also didn't grasp why Robert's two choices were structured parallelly. What kind of choice is this?!

"Are you playing with us?!" After thinking it through, Dimitri and his gang were furious. Even a clay figure has a temper, let alone Dimitri and his gang who were already looking for trouble with Robert. Moreover, Robert's words disparaged their goddess Kara, how could they not be angry? Dimitri and his gang's words fell, and they furiously threw punches towards Robert, wanting to show this little guy their might!

But, to Dimitri and his gang, their angry punches, which they thought were powerful and full-out, were full of flaws in Robert's eyes.

Suddenly, Robert felt that not using superhuman strength against Dimitri and his gang was overestimating them. Wasn't dealing with them just a matter of having hands? Robert stepped back, dodged Dimitri's punch, and kicked Dimitri in the back of his knee, causing Dimitri to kneel on the ground.

Then came Kane, who was hit in the chin, Jeffrey, who was slapped in the chest, Felipe, who was tripped over his ankle, and Jimmy, who was thrown over Robert's shoulder.

Robert's speed wasn't too fast, at least Dimitri and his gang could see clearly, but seeing clearly doesn't mean they could defend themselves.

The eyes said they saw clearly, the brain said it knew how to counter, but the body said, "Screw this, do it yourself..."

Body: (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻ Just like that, in less than a minute, all five members of Dimitri's gang were lying on the ground. Although the places where they were hit didn't hurt much, they felt weak, which made them somewhat panic as they looked at Robert, afraid he would continue to beat them.

"Don't worry, I won't continue to beat you. But can we consider this matter resolved? Or do you still want to seek revenge later?" Robert smiled, shook his head, and crouched down to look at Dimitri and his gang, who were hugging their heads in fear, and asked.

"No way! No way!" Dimitri and his gang shook their heads repeatedly, indicating they had given in, "We won't trouble you anymore, no matter how close you get to Kara, we won't bother you!"

Dimitri and his gang looked even more dejected as they spoke. Clearly, although they had given in, the thought of Robert getting closer to Kara in the future still made their hearts sour and sad...

"I'm not interested in getting that close to her!" Robert waved his hand, showing no intention of staying longer. He was getting hungry, "Don't worry, you won't be uncomfortable for too long. You'll recover soon. But, if you dare to trouble me again, it won't be something you can recover from so quickly!"

"No! We definitely won't!" Dimitri and his gang, feeling better after hearing Robert's lack of interest in Kara, hurriedly smiled and assured.

Robert also had no intention of staying longer and walked out of the alley within a few steps, feeling the surroundings and quickening his pace where there were fewer people, heading towards the Kent farm.

On the way, Robert picked up the large rock he had left behind and resumed his training, while also looking for his prey.

"He's so powerful; we're no match for him. No wonder Kara looks at him differently. He can fight just like Kara..." After Robert left, Dimitri and his gang, who had recovered, reluctantly got up. Dimitri sighed helplessly.

"Impossible! Kara must be stronger. After all, Kara's super strength isn't for show. This guy didn't show any amazing strength when he hit us. He just has better skills!" Even after being defeated by Robert and admitting defeat, Jimmy still stubbornly defended Kara, without any intention of wavering.

"Good thing he's not interested in Kara, or we'd really have no chance..." Kane smiled somewhat relievedly and said softly.

"Do we really still have a chance?" Jeffrey was a bit hesitant at the moment, looking around at the four and tentatively asked.

"Yes!" Felipe said with conviction, "As long as we work hard, there will always be a chance of success!"

With Felipe's words, hope reignited in Dimitri and the others. At this moment, they felt a kind of camaraderie, even though they were competitors before Robert's incident, merely forming a wartime alliance, but after experiencing the event with Robert, they became true comrades-in-arms!

Comrades-in-arms who have been beaten together! Thank you, dear readers, for your recommendations and support~ Do you have any clearer pictures of the giant ape?
