Magic God Awaken

Dare to mess with me?

It was already 5:30 pm by the time they arrived at the mall; the sun was setting and casting a warm glow over the city. The night lights of the city had started to twinkle, creating a beautiful display. Meanwhile, the mall was bustling with activity, with people coming and going from its stores and restaurants. 

"Mo Shen... "Thank you for saving me back then." She tried her best, but she still mumbled some words. She was too self-conscious and did not know what to say.

"It's ok, it's nothing." he calmly replies while checking the menu. He never considered that incident a big deal after all. 

"What will happen now?" Mia's voice was still shaky from being overwhelmed. She realized the consequences of their actions.

"What do you mean?" Mo Shen continues to read the menu, he wants to taste some sushi. He was craving some Gunkan Maki, Sasazushi, and Nigiri paired with some cold ginger ale

"That guy, Nathan, he's the son of a very wealthy family; he might do something underhanded."

Mia's concern was not without reason. Despite seeing Mo Shen's strength, he's still a human being and not invincible. She was afraid that they might do something to hurt him.

A person like Nathan will surely have connections with the local gangster in the area. Added to that was his family who spoiled him, she was sure that they will try something bad and hurt Mo Shen.

He saw her worried face and understood where she was coming from. He wanted to tell her that Nathan's family should be the ones worrying. They're just a wealthy family, and he used to be one of the strongest humans on earth. The gap between them was too huge to even compare.

Finding trouble for him is akin to a rat trying to disturb a sleeping lion.

It's really hard to pretend to be weak. He silently muttered to himself.

He was going to let him off the hook if they don't do anything stupid. If they do, then they could only blame themselves for being too arrogant.

Mo Shen is a very calm person. However, only a few people managed to live after touching his bottom line. And those lucky ones who managed to survive promised to never mess with him again.

"Don't worry; I can handle it. Let's just enjoy our time because we rarely go out" He smiled and patted her head.

"....But.." Mia wanted to finish her sentence but was not able to. She had a feeling that everything will be alright as long as he says it.

"Ok," Mia no longer presses the issue and just lowers her head. Her heart was beating too fast, and she was afraid that he might hear it.

"What is this feeling? Why do I feel so safe and happy whenever I'm beside him?" Those were Mia's hidden feelings. She had never felt this way before and was unsure how to deal with it.

But deep inside, she already knew the answer. However, she was afraid to face it. Mo Shen and Shin are best friends, and her complicated feelings might destroy their relationship.

"Stop thinking about anything else and just enjoy the present." " Mo Shen pinched her cheek jokingly. Mia blushed from the physical contact but tried to brush it off.

"You big idiot, hmmp." She pouted her cheeks, but a trace of smile could be seen all over her face. Her red cheek adds a charming aura to her overall appearance. It was obvious that she was trying to hide her embarrassment.

Both of them waited for their food to be served. They had sushi for dinner and strolled around the mall, searching for some entertainment.

On the way home, he escorts Mia to their house. However, oblivious to what was happening around her, a bunch of thugs was already following them. Their target seemed to be Mo Shen because they waited until Mia got home before showing up.

"Idiots are the same regardless of the era."

Surprisingly, Mo Shen had led them to a vacant construction lot. The place was filled with unused construction materials like cement, metal bars, concrete, wood, and bricks.

"Listen up, kid. If you don't come with us, things are gonna get rough." He raised a metal bar, ready to strike Mo Shen if he didn't comply with their demands.

Mo Shen glances at the group, taking in the sight of over 20 individuals encircling him. They're armed with a range of weapons, from knives to baseball bats and metal poles, with a few even brandishing wooden swords.

"This isn't going to be easy," Mo Shen muttered, his eyes darting around the group. 

"This will be hard and painful." Hehehe." The goons laughed at Mo Shen's remark.

"This could get messy," Mo Shen sighed, glancing up at the full moon shining overhead. "I need to be careful with my strength or I might accidentally kill you guys." He gave the group a warning look, making it clear that he wasn't someone to mess with.

The thug with the knife charged toward Mo Shen, his eyes blazing with anger. The others watched on with eagerness, knowing the reputation of the man with the weapon. 

The group of thugs watched with excitement as the knife-wielding gangster charged at his target. They were certain that this was the end for him. They knew the reputation of the gangster all too well, having heard tales of his deadly efficiency with that very knife.

However, in an instant, the once-threatening knife-wielding thug was thrown back with immense force, slamming into his own allies and causing a chain reaction of bodies hitting the pavement. They watched as the chaos unfolded, their heart racing with a mix of fear and adrenaline.

"Ahhh!" The knife-wielding thug let out a pained scream as he clutched his arm in distress, his bones visibly jutting through his skin after the forceful impact.

"What the hell did you do?" The other thugs snapped out of their daze as they looked at their unconscious friend, lying on the ground with his arm broken and bones protruding from his skin.

Mo Shen merely glanced at them, seeming uninterested in their shock and outrage.

"Attack him all at once!" someone shouted, and all the remaining thugs brandished their weapons, surrounding Mo Shen on all sides.

Five of them swung their baseball bats in unison, confident that this time they would hit their mark. However, Mo Shen effortlessly dodged the attack by jumping up, then leaped from one head to another like a kung-fu master.

"What the hell? Is this guy a kung-fu master?" one of the thugs exclaimed in disbelief, watching Mo Shen effortlessly take down his accomplices.

He might look like a Kung Fu master now, but Mo Shen was applying a wind spell to lower his weight. If not, those people's heads will burst like watermelons if he just steps on them normally.

"Forget about that, let's attack him again." As if not learning their lesson, they continue to attack him. Unluckily for them, Mo Shen was done playing the good guy.

Multiple muffled noises echoed throughout the entire construction site. It was a good thing that no other people were there, or else, they would have already called the emergency hotline.

The construction site was now eerily quiet, with only the muffled moans of the fallen gang members breaking the silence. The sight of all the bodies lying there, unconscious and wounded, was a testament to Mo Shen's incredible strength and martial arts skills. 

Mo Shen gazed at the last remaining conscious thug with a mysterious, unreadable expression in his eyes. He had learned who was behind this pointless attack - Nathan's father.

"They've given me such a generous present. It would be rude not to repay them," he thought to himself.
