[BL] Seducing Male Leads To Survive As A Villain In A Novel-Chapter 324: Challenge

His voice was shaky as he spoke. It was obvious that he was scared of them. He didn’t even dare look up at them.

They laughed.

"You bastard! How’s that possible? You’re just messing with us, huh? How is it even possible that you don’t have money!"

"You’re just trying to look down on us and not give us the money, huh?" they glared at him.

"Hey!" One slapped his head again. "I don’t have time for this. Give me the money now so I can get what I want. I don’t have time to exchange words with you."

"Give us the money now!"

They kept slapping his head while yelling at him. Obviously bullying him to get cash from him. His own cash!

And no one in the cafeteria even dared speak out. They didn’t even look much in their direction, let alone stand up for the nerdy guy. This had Eden speechless.

He guessed they were already used to it and so didn’t dare interrupt, fearing they might become the next target. It was always like that.

But Eden didn’t care.

He got up on his feet and walked up to them.

"It’s not your money, so why the hell are y’all being greedy and unreasonable?" he questioned them, and everything paused.

Everyone turned and stared in his direction. They were shocked—not only that someone was actually speaking back to the bullies, but that a newbie was! And these bullies were literally in their final years!

The bullies all looked down at Eden, who was rather shorter than them all. They laughed, and then one of them asked, "And who the hell are you?!" He demanded, "What the hell do you think you’re doing?"

Eden glared at them. He had a calm expression on as he smiled. "Well, isn’t it obvious? I’m his friend, and you all are messing with my friend, so you should back out. Now."

His speech was firm, which left people around them shocked. They never expected someone would be that brave to stand up against them—especially a newbie.

They couldn’t help but wonder if he was aware of who he was talking to.

The bullies laughed as they said, "What the hell is this jerk talking about? His friend? And how’s that our business?" they questioned him.

"Like I said, it means you should get lost from his sight. Can’t you see he’s busy eating? You can’t come and beg for money when he’s busy. You should be humble if you’re too poor to afford your own cash."

People around couldn’t help but laugh after hearing what Eden said. They hid their mouths while they laughed at his joke.

The bullies glared at him, now getting pissed. The nerdy guy also stared at Eden, confused and shocked.

"Hey, who the hell are you? And what do you want? Don’t you even know who we are? Don’t you know who you’re messing with? Do you have a death wish or something?"

"The name’s Eden. I’m new around here. And I simply want you guys to let someone eat in peace without spitting all over his meal. And no, I don’t know who the hell you guys are, and I don’t really care. So get lost," he had a smile on as he spoke.

A smile that began pissing the bullies off. And the rest of the people in the cafeteria couldn’t help but stare in amusement and shock.

"This bastard sure does have a death wish," one said. "What should we do with him now? Should we just break him apart?"

Another smiled as he walked up to Eden. "I think he just needs to have some sense slapped into his dumb brain." He raised his hand to slap Eden.

But Eden blinked, and the young man’s legs suddenly slipped. Eden stepped aside as he fell flat on his face.

A wild commotion filled the hall as everyone stared in shock. They couldn’t believe what had just happened. One had fallen right before Eden’s feet, which was pretty embarrassing for him.

Eden looked down at him and smiled. "You don’t have to clean my shoes to apologize, though."

Pissed, another attacked but also slipped and fell. Two were now on the floor as Eden smiled. "Seriously? That’s the best you’ve got?"

The audience was now marveling at the scene, watching as Eden talked down to them while they fell at his feet. It was a shocking scene that had people gathering now.

Their leader was pissed as he stared at Eden. "And who the fuck are you?"

"Someone you don’t want to mess with," he stared at him. "So please let go of my friend here, and I won’t bother messing with you at all. Deal?"

The leader scoffed. "And what the hell makes you think that we’ll listen to you?"

Eden stared at him. "For your mental peace," Eden smiled.

"And do you think I’m scared of you or what?" he questioned. "Do you know I can kill you right now?" He looked furious as he approached Eden; one could tell he was about to go hard into a fight.

But someone stopped him, calming him down. "You can’t just fight like that; you’ll get into trouble. And you can’t get into trouble now..." one of them said to their leader while calming him down.

Their leader stopped but still had his murderous eyes on Eden. Eden simply smiled.

"I don’t care about anything now. I just want to end this bastard!" the leader snapped. The guy still held him as he murmured something into his ear.

He had given him an alternative means of taking Eden down, which was pretty obvious in a Military Academy.

And after he whispered that into his ear, their leader smiled as he stared at Eden. "You’re so confident in yourself, even for a newbie," he said. "So I’ll make a deal with you. I challenge you to an official competition. If you win, I’ll let you have your way and leave this bastard alone. If you lose, the two of you will be under my control as slaves."
