Unlike Chu Ge's helplessness, the people inside the bathroom, including Zhuangzi, perked up when they heard the dense footsteps outside. It seemed their bodies hurt less, and they all supported themselves against the wall to stand up, and eagerly went out.

Seeing this group of people coming towards him, Chu Ge initially had a headache, but as they got closer, he couldn't help but be taken aback. Then he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his lips.

It seemed his earlier worries were unnecessary; this fight shouldn't happen after all.

The people coming at him were all familiar faces, and he had even fought with a few of them twice before.

Scarface was leading people towards the bathroom, and when he saw Chu Ge standing at the bathroom door, his arms and legs suddenly felt weak. The aura he had just moments ago completely dissipated in an instant, and the baton in his hand almost fell to the ground. The ferocity on his face instantly vanished.

It wasn't just Scarface; all the thugs behind him also froze, their faces turned ashen, and they all simultaneously slowed their steps, finally coming to a complete stop.

Although Zhuangzi, Gouzi, and the others saw Scarface and his people stop their steps, they didn't think much of it. They merely assumed that they wanted to ask what was going on first, completely unaware that the person right in front of them was the one they were looking for. Their hearts remained filled with excitement, thinking that since Scarface brought people, they would soon have a chance to vent their anger freely.

"Brother Scarface, you're here! It's him!"

Hearing this gleeful shout of "Brother Scarface," Scarface nearly fainted from anger, and the scar on his face twitched.

Is he not aware that it was Chu Ge who had beaten Zhuangzi and the others?

"Shut the hell up!"

Scarface shot Zhuangzi a fierce glare, then put on a sheepish grin and turned his gaze towards Chu Ge.

"Chu..."

Before Scarface could finish speaking, Chu Ge interrupted him, "You've got the wrong person, don't you? Do we know each other?"

Upon hearing Chu Ge say this, Scarface and the band of thugs behind him froze again, as did Zhuangzi and the others at the bathroom entrance.

Zhuangzi subconsciously repeated the word "Chu" that Scarface managed to utter, then his brows furrowed, and suddenly, his complexion changed drastically!

"You, you, you are Chu, Chu, Chu..."

He hadn't even managed to say the word "Ge" when he saw Chu Ge frown and gaze intently at him. His heart skipped a beat, and then, already terrified, his eyes rolled back, his legs gave out, and he fainted from fright.

No wonder he was so scared; the name Chu Ge had been ringing in his ears incessantly for the past few days, having heard it from those around him countless times.

As Zhuangzi fainted in fear, Gouzi and the other thugs responsible for looking after the arcade also broke out in a cold sweat.

Even if they had average intelligence, seeing this scene and hearing the name "Chu," they now knew exactly who the person was that had just beaten them up.

Just a few days ago, a person named Chu Ge took on Scarface and more than a dozen others. Not only did he end the fight in just a few minutes, but he wasn't even hit once. This legendary event had already spread like a typhoon among their group of thugs.

In fact, as thugs who ranked lower than Scarface, both the now-unconscious Zhuangzi and the now-terrified Gouzi and others had always greatly admired Scarface.

After all, Scarface was truly ruthless in fights and even knew some legitimate fighting skills. One-on-one, Scarface alone could take on three Zhuangzis.

However, such a ruthless individual not only failed to get the better of Chu Ge, but along with more than a dozen brothers, all got taken down by Chu Ge alone. How ruthless must Chu Ge be?

If Gouzi, Zhuangzi, and the others had any doubts about this matter before, having just been beaten up, coupled with the reaction from Scarface and the others, all doubts vanished entirely!

Because, at this moment, in the eyes of Scarface and those behind him, there wasn't any malice, vengeance, defiance, or unwillingness—only fear, a deep fear from the heart.

For both Scarface and the underlings he brought, as well as for Gouzi and the others at the arcade, time seemed to stand still at this moment. Every second that passed was a torment, feeling interminably long.

Though they were numerous, surrounding Chu Ge from front and back, each of them found it somewhat difficult to breathe, their Adam's apple moving involuntarily.

Chu Ge, like a god of war, stood there calm and steady, yet exuding a powerful aura that struck them with palpable mental pressure.

The combined groups of Scarface and Gouzi totaled nearly twenty people, but none of them dared to act rashly, fearing that any move they made might be misunderstood by Chu Ge as a sign of provocation, potentially drawing his steel-hard and lightning-fast fists.

This strange and eerie atmosphere of silence spread like a tide through the arcade, affecting everyone's nerves and slowing their breaths.

The arcade hall, which had been incredibly noisy with hundreds of people playing games, suddenly seemed empty and deserted, with only the sounds of the game machines and not a word or cough to be heard.

As for Chu Ge, who had caused all of this, he only found it quite amusing, pondering the unpredictability of life.

With a slight curl of his lips, Chu Ge looked into Scarface's fear-filled eyes and spoke to him before Qin Ruoying came out of the bathroom.

"Let bygones be bygones. In the future, we keep to ourselves and pretend we've never met, okay?"

Although Chu Ge's gaze was calm and casual, when Scarface met it, he couldn't help but shiver, his nerves and muscles tensing up all over, afraid that Chu Ge might suddenly attack him like a ghost, just as he had done a few days ago, catching him off guard and flattening him to the ground.

But when Chu Ge spoke those words, his taut nerves and body suddenly relaxed, and he hurriedly nodded like a pecking hen, only then realizing that his shirt was soaked with cold sweat.

This scene, in full view of hundreds of people in the arcade, made everyone feel as if they were dreaming. Even though they saw it clearly, they still couldn't believe their eyes.

The gangsters, who usually acted as if they owned the arcade, all crowded around the bathroom entrance, bruised and battered?

Damn! That alone was hard enough for them to accept, and now the more intimidating, fearsome-looking gangsters that they had obviously brought in were acting the same way, obedient like schoolchildren waiting to be punished?

This... Is this for real?

It was as if everyone was of one mind at that moment, with two questions circulating in each person's head.

Who exactly was the man standing between the two groups of gangsters?

What exactly did he do to these gangsters?

The atmosphere in the entire arcade hall grew even more oppressive and bizarre, with everyone staring at Chu Ge with different thoughts in their minds.

Suddenly, Scarface furrowed his brow, realizing a serious issue.

Did Chu Ge just say that past matters were in the past? So does that include today's events?

Thinking about this, he tightened his grip on the stick in his hand, took a deep breath, and resumed walking.

"Did Master Chu just imply that he's very unhappy with what happened today?"

The more Scarface thought about it, the more he felt it was the case. Otherwise, why would Chu Ge still be standing there, not moving? Clearly, he was waiting to see how Scarface would react!

Even though Scarface felt that his actions might be somewhat dishonorable, he couldn't care less in order to quell Chu Ge's anger.

Determined, Scarface gripped the stick in his hand and took a few big steps forward, glaring fiercely at the group on the other side, who were already scared stiff, and smashed the stick down on Gouzi, who had called him earlier.

"What the hell are you doing making calls? Are your eyes on your feet? Do you have any sense? How could you be so blind to ignore a great person? Who gave you the guts?"

As Scarface beat and cursed them, he subtly watched Chu Ge's reaction from the corner of his eyes, and the gangsters who had come with him also reacted swiftly. They immediately rushed to the bathroom entrance, joining Scarface as they cursed and physically assaulted Gouzi and the others.

Seeing this, Chu Ge felt both amused and exasperated. Scarface certainly knew how to handle affairs, but he was overthinking it a bit.

Gouzi and the others felt utterly disgraced. If it had been outsiders beating them, it would be one thing, but now the ones attacking them were all from their own circle. It was like they had brought in a big stone, only to smash it on their own feet!

Just then, Zhuanzi, who had fainted from fright, was woken up by the beating. As soon as he opened his eyes, not even understanding what was going on, he was met with another round of pummeling.

Amidst the screams and chaos, Qin Ruoying emerged from the ladies' room. Seeing the scene before her, she was startled and quickly rushed to Chu Ge's side, hooking his arm and whispering, "Brother-in-law, what... what's happening?"
