Episode 14

"Who says being outnumbered means I'm defeated? I possess the skills to beat them all," Ferzo declared with self-assurance.

"Yeah, he's right, you need to give us money, at least an advance," they requested.

"Damn! Here's your advance of 3 million, defeat him and I'll pay you the rest," Yun conceded, withdrawing money from his bag to hand over to the quartet. They gladly accepted it.

Ferzo appeared pleased. Of course, if they lost, he could take the money from them.

"Let's beat him up," said one of the students, senior classmates of Ferzo skilled in martial arts.

They approached Ferzo and dragged him to a rarely frequented narrow alley.

"Okay! Time to test my strength first," said Ferzo, immediately charging at one of his seniors causing them both to fall.

Without further thought, Ferzo began pummeling his senior by punching his face, while the others punched Ferzo's back. At that moment, Ferzo possessed only strength, but no defenses.

Clenching his senior's shoulder firmly, Ferzo flipped him over and kicked, sending his senior flying. He lay on the ground, aching.

One more to go, they all grabbed Ferzo, assaulting him together. Ferzo wouldn't stay passive as they hit him. He flipped over, freeing his arms from their hold, and kicked another senior, who stumbled back, while others kicked Ferzo's back, toppling him.

Despite Ferzo's strong kicks, he couldn't dodge as he lacked the skills of shield or agility. All he could do was endure the pain while continuing to fight back.

One of the students kicked Ferzo's back, and Ferzo countered with a strong kick that sent his opponent crashing against the alley wall.

Another caught Ferzo from behind, but Ferzo kept spinning, making his captor dizzy and inadvertently letting go, leaving Ferzo free to assault him.

Only one left, the senior charged at him and they wrestled. Ferzo grabbed his opponent's hair and the senior did the same, pulling each other's hair while grappling on the ground. As the scuffle prolonged, Ferzo decided to end it, pulling the student's head down and headbutting him fiercely.

Though Ferzo's head spun a little, at least the other student was knocked out from the impact. Ferzo shook his head vigorously to clear the dizziness.

With them all knocked out, Ferzo took the money from one senior's pocket.

"He-he-he, I win big, thank you. If you need money for treatment, ask Yun," Ferzo said with a grin, kissing the money before pocketing it.

Then Ferzo left the alley and approached his bicycle.

Yun was shocked to see only Ferzo emerge, with none of the four students in sight.

"Why... why did you come out?" asked Yun, astounded.

"Why? Were you hoping I wouldn't come out? I'm your classmate; you should have backed me up, not them. Oh right, your treatment costs – you're covering them," said Ferzo with a smile, patting Yun's shoulder before walking away, leaving a bewildered Yun behind.
