Prince Gary was firmly held down by his shoulders, unable to move. However, he did not resist much, knowing that resistance would not be beneficial to him. He curled his lips, glanced at the proud Nan Ba in front of him, and said with a laugh, “You’d better disappear right now, or I’ll throw you into the North Sea to feed the fish.” He spoke with great confidence, his voice echoing through the silent bar hall, causing everyone to hold their breath and listen to his shocking words.
With dozens of guns pointed at him and several burly men holding his shoulders, he was immobilized yet still made such bold statements. Such a person was either mentally unstable or someone of significant status.
Nan Ba was furious. Having been a troublemaker for many years, no one had ever spoken to him like this before. He glared with his bear-like eyes, staring fixedly at Prince Gary, who didn’t even look directly at him.
Nan Ba’s subordinates, seeing their boss being insulted, could not stay back and were about to deal with Prince Gary. Unexpectedly, Nan Ba was still a man of character, having lost face in front of so many people.”
He wanted to regain his dignity; after all, he was once the captain of the Knife Squad.
Nan Ba raised his fist, hunched his body, and was about to strike Prince Gary’s face. It was clear that Nan Ba’s punch carried significant force and intimidation.
But Nan Ba lowered his fist.
Prince Gary slowly raised the watch from his wrist, holding it up in front of Nan Ba, letting him see it clearly.
Though in dim light, the watch was brilliantly emerald, dazzling and eye-catching, asserting its existence and its owner’s worth with the most prominent radiance.
Upon seeing the watch, Nan Ba immediately froze, his legs going weak as he bent down, staring fixedly at the watch, then holding his breath while glancing at its owner—Prince Gary—whom he had bound.
Nan Ba looked at the fearless, expressionless face and began to feel terrified. Although his organization was notable among British Chinese and had some connections, what could he compare to Prince Gary?
Moreover, he had just kidnapped him.
Nan Ba’s head felt numb. He had provoked a major threat. Prince Gary was the most powerful prince in the British Royal Family, and offending him was tantamount to courting death.
Nan Ba hit his own head hard, possibly to clear his mind. If Prince Gary were to remember this grudge, he would be beaten to death.
After somewhat regaining his senses, Nan Ba looked at the still coldly expressionless Prince Gary and knelt on the ground. His kneeling knees collided with the bright floor tiles, creating a loud noise that threw the originally silent station into panic.
Almost in tears, Nan Ba kowtowed to Prince Gary, saying, “I… I was wrong, Prince Gary… I deserve to die. I didn’t know I was offending you.” As he spoke, Nan Ba knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing.
He had just been extremely disrespectful to the prince, which was a capital offense.
Prince Gary slightly lowered his head, looked at the cowardly underworld boss beneath him, coldly snorted, and kicked him in the neck, sending him sprawling.
After a while, when Nan Ba got up from the ground, his neck was crooked, and he could barely speak coherently.
Everyone was shocked. The seemingly extraordinary yet hidden figure before them was actually a prince of the current royal family.
They never imagined that a prince would come to such a place or that he would step in to rescue a woman he did not know in a bar.
Afterward, Prince Gary led the still-stunned Xiao Yu out of the bar.
By a riverside bank, the water flowed clear and bright, shimmering under the moonlight, bringing peace to one’s heart.
“Thank you,” Mei Yu pulled away from Prince Gary’s hand, speaking shyly.
Prince Gary turned around, looking at the woman who had captivated his soul, feeling intensely drawn. He leaned closer to Mei Yu, wanting to be just a little bit nearer, which would make him incredibly excited. Prince Gary laughed, saying, “Oh, it’s nothing. You weren’t scared, were you?” As he spoke, he angrily kicked the riverside railing, exclaiming, “Those bastards…” In his eyes, Mei Yu was inviolable, no matter what her profession.
Mei Yu quickly waved her hand, stammering, “No, no, I… wasn’t scared at all.” She looked down at the steel railing beside her, pointing at Prince Gary’s leg and laughing, “Your leg is so hard, it doesn’t even hurt. That’s amazing.”
Prince Gary listened to her and simply stepped onto the railing, striking a carefree pose. Turning his body, he laughed and said to Mei Yu, “Haha… what’s this? It doesn’t hurt. Back when I was learning Chinese martial arts, I practiced leg techniques.”
Whenever Prince Gary talked about learning Chinese martial arts, he always became excited, his eyes sparkling. In his heart, it was a particularly memorable time.
Mei Yu looked up, using the moonlight reflecting on the water to examine this Englishman in front of her. His high-bridged nose, deep blue eyes, and casual attire – nothing about him connected to Chinese martial arts. However, his moves in the bar earlier were indeed impressive. In a real fight, even dozens of thugs might not be his match.
Mei Yu looked curiously at Prince Gary and asked, “Have you been to China? I thought you’d be like many other white people, pretending you’ve never heard of China!” Mei Yu’s concerns were correct. Although China was developing rapidly, many Western people still looked down on it, mistreating Chinese workers. Some even refused to acknowledge China’s existence.
Prince Gary just laughed dismissively.
He had been interested in China since childhood and had already visited China more than ten times. He said to Mei Yu, “I’ve been to China many times. Beijing, Shanghai, Dalian, Xi’an, Hong Kong, um… Taipei.” It was clear he genuinely loved China. “Oh, and Qingdao. That beer festival is fantastic.” Finishing his sentence, Prince Gary gave a thumbs up to Mei Yu and to China, showing his admiration for the country and its people.
The night was enchanting, with a slightly chilly wind along the river. Mei Yu brushed back her hair blown by the wind, crossed her arms over her chest, and took a deep breath. “Wow, you’re amazing,” she said, also giving a thumbs up to Prince Gary. “I’m really happy that you know so much about China. Thank you.”
Prince Gary was especially pleased hearing Mei Yu’s praise. He pursed his lips, raised his eyebrows looking very proud, and said, “Of course. How else would I have learned my Chinese martial arts?”
Hearing Prince Gary talk about his martial arts, Mei Yu suddenly remembered and quickly asked, “Did you start learning martial arts in China when you were very young?”
Prince Gary quickly waved his hand.
How could a British royal prince spend years in China? He had actually learned from Chinese masters in the royal training grounds since childhood.
Those days, I felt happiness. If not, it would also carve lines on my heart, filling the gaps with spring breeze. This is beautiful.
Xiaoyu, in that moment of crisis, instantly thought of Tianxe, how much she longed to rescue him, and when she looked back, the person she saw was Tianxe.
However, she was disappointed again. Although it was the same rescue, Meiyou’s gratitude to Prince Gali was limited to mere thanks.
Although Prince Gali displayed extraordinary male charm in every gesture, making all women yearn for him.
But for Meiyou, who already had someone in her heart, he held little attraction. To her, Prince Gali was at most just a passerby who had helped her once.
Facing him, Meiyou would only think about how to repay him, not how to naturally accept this love-like non-love affair.
Since that night they met, Prince Gali would often find various pretexts to ask Meiyou out.
