A Man Like None Other novel Chapter 130

Having noticed that Kai was unfazed by Rhino’s status, Yolanda surmised that he wasn’t an ordinary person.
“We work at the same office and are neighbors since our teenage years. Hence, I can tell you there’s nothing particularly special about him,” Hilda replied with a frown.
“Impossible! How can he not be afraid if he doesn’t have some strong backing?”
Yolanda was unconvinced. If Kai was someone ordinary, he would have already been frightened to death.
“He really doesn’t have any patron. In fact, Kai has just been released from prison.”
From Hilda’s perspective, Kai’s jail stint was probably what made him tough, which was why ordinary citizens have an inherent fear of ex-convicts.
“No wonder. I’m sure you must have gotten to know someone when you were in prison. Nonetheless, Rhino isn’t just an ordinary street thug. He’s actually a member of the Crimson Dragon Gang. That’s why I urge you to leave with Hilda right now,” Yolanda pleaded with Kai.
“Crimson Dragon Gang?” Kai was intrigued. In fact, he was surprised at the fact that he kept running into them that day.
“Why? Are you scared already? The Crimson Dragon Gang is Horington’s biggest gang. The gang whom you are involved with is so insignificant that they can’t protect you. Hence, you should just take Hilda and leave. I’ll see what I can do to pacify Rhino. At most, I’ll not take any payment for the night.”
Yolanda planned to beg for mercy on their behalf.
“What?” Kai laughed out loud. “They’re the ones who should be afraid of me. In fact, they will flee the moment they see me.”
“Afraid of you?” Yolanda scrutinized Kai before sneering, “This is not a joke. If you want to be a hero, be my guest, but don’t drag Hilda into this.”
Just as she spoke, Yolanda held Hilda’s hands. “Hilda, let’s go. He can stay and play hero as much as he wants. That aside, what kind of boyfriend have you found yourself?”
Initially, Yolanda had a good impression of Kai when he tried to convince Hilda to attend the class reunion. But now, she had changed her view and simply saw him as someone hot-headed.
“Yolanda, Kai isn’t someone like that.”
Despite her refusal to leave, Hilda was dragged away forcefully by Yolanda.
“Hilda, don’t be a fool. You don’t mingle with the underworld and naturally aren’t aware of how powerful the Crimson Dragon Gang is. Everyone in Horington fears them. As for Kai, he is deluded about his own capabilities just because he spent a few years in prison.”
Yolanda refused to let Hilda go.
Just when Hilda was struggling to free herself, a group of men suddenly appeared. In their lead was Rhino, who had his head bandaged.
At the sight of the men, Yolanda began to panic. Her face turned ashen as she released Hilda’s hand.
Hilda was petrified too when faced with the large group of vicious-looking men.
In contrast, Kai remained seated calmly.
“Kid, I gotta give it to you for not fleeing. But today, I will show you that I mean business!”
With that, Rhino bent down to grab a beer bottle and charged at Kai.
“Rhino!”
Worried for her friends, Yolanda hurried forward to block him. “Rhino, please calm down. Just a while ago, he was utterly terrified and has regretted his actions after I told him who you were. On my account, please show him mercy just this once. I’ll not only spend a few nights with you for free, but I’ll also get him to pay you compensation.”
Initially, Rhino was in no mood for forgiveness. However, the mention of compensation caused him to lower the beer bottle in his hand. Turning to Yolanda, he asked, “How much can he pay? This head of mine costs a lot!”
