After finding out Si Yang's location, Huo Tianlin immediately led his gang of minions, charging over with menacing intent to settle the score.

Inside the basketball court.

A tall young boy in white freely sweated under the sun, radiating youthful vitality.

"Brother Yang, catch!"

Hearing the shout, Si Yang leapt up like an agile leopard, perfectly catching the basketball his teammate threw.

"Quick, block him!" Seeing this, the opposing team immediately abandoned the others, turning their attention to surround Si Yang.

The young boy curled his lips disdainfully, as if mocking their overestimation of their abilities.

Annoyed by his expression, the opponent yelled, "Everyone, go! Block him!"

Si Yang moved with nimble grace, weaving effortlessly across the court with an unstoppable momentum. He suddenly leapt with all his strength. The basketball traced a perfect arc through the air and landed steadily in the hoop not far away.

"Woo-hoo! Brother Yang, that was awesome!" His teammates cheered excitedly, swarming around him with arms wide open, ready for a bear hug.

A look of disgust flashed in Si Yang's eyes as he sidestepped their enthusiastic embrace."Get lost. Stay away from me. I've got zero interest in guys."

A teammate rubbed his nose sheepishly. "Brother Yang, don't be so cold. Acting like this, you'll never get a girlfriend."

Si Yang scoffed, his captivating peach-blossom eyes filled with disdain. "Who cares!""Holy crap! Brother Yang isn't interested in girls? Does that mean he likes us?" Another teammate shuddered, hugging his plump self in mock fear.

Si Yang kicked out at him, laughing as he cursed, "Get the hell out of here!"

The teammate clutched his backside, howling dramatically from the kick.

Just then, Huo Tianlin arrived with his band of followers, radiating hostility.

"Si Yang! Get your ass out here! Today, I'm gonna make you kneel and call me 'daddy'!"

"Well, well!" Si Yang raised an eyebrow, turning around with the basketball in hand, his peach-blossom eyes looking at Huo Tianlin with an amused glint. "Little Third Huo, forgot the lesson from last time already?""Don't call me Little Third Huo, you damned pretty boy!" Huo Tianlin exploded like a cat with its tail stepped on, hopping mad.

Hearing this, Si Yang narrowed his peach-blossom eyes and slammed the basketball hard onto the ground. "You looking to die?!"

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The basketball bounced high off the ground. Huo Tianlin's heart lurched violently along with it. A flicker of doubt crept in.

Si Yang's expression was arrogant, carrying an untamed wildness like a leopard on the savannah, radiating a strong sense of danger.

His teammates nearby took a collective step back, looking at Huo Tianlin with pitying eyes, as if he were already a goner!

Everyone knew Brother Yang hated being called a pretty boy. The last person who spoke to him like that had weeds two meters high growing on their grave!

Little Third Huo was practically courting death. Honestly, wasn't living just fine? Why be so determined to seek trouble?

Seeing Si Yang's suddenly dangerous expression, Huo Tianlin swallowed hard. He felt a bit scared.

The usually fearless little tyrant of the Huo family was actually intimidated by a single look from Si Yang. For a moment, he actually considered backing down.

"Boss... do we still fight?" a minion raised his hand timidly and asked."Fight!" Huo Tianlin gritted his teeth and forced out the word."Fight! Why wouldn't we fight? There are so many of us! How could we possibly lose to one pretty boy? He looks like a little girl, total weakling."

As he spoke, Huo Tianlin managed to convince himself, his confidence suddenly soaring.

That's right! With so many of them, how could they possibly lose to Si Yang, that pretty boy!
