After leaving Kuoh Academy, Qin Xiao prepared to head home.
However, he didn't plan to go back immediately.
Since he had already transmigrated into another world, it would be a waste not to experience the atmosphere of a real anime-style city.
Besides, Qin Xiao was also quite curious about Japan's famous "street culture."
Although he had made a small fortune yesterday, he still had no stable source of income.
So he needed to find some way to earn money.
About thirty or forty minutes later, while passing through a small alley, someone suddenly blocked his path.
The man had dyed blond hair, a lip piercing, and a mocking smile—like someone who had just spotted a helpless rabbit.
Seeing him, Qin Xiao suddenly felt happy.
After wandering around for half an hour—
business had finally arrived.
"Hey, little beauty."
"Do you know whose territory this is?"
"Little beauty?"
The moment he heard those words, Qin Xiao's face turned dark.
Because he had inherited Enkidu's template, his appearance had become somewhat androgynous.
At first glance, he could indeed be mistaken for a girl.
But as a man—
being mistaken for one and harassed like this made him furious.
"This whole area—more than ten streets—is my turf."
"You're pretty cute."
"If you play nicely with me, I'll protect you around here."
Seeing Qin Xiao wearing Kuoh Academy's uniform, the thug didn't think much of it.
He was only excited about the "beautiful girl" in front of him.
In fact, he was already imagining something even better.
If he could control a Kuoh Academy girl, he could use her to lure out more schoolgirls.
Just thinking about it made him feel thrilled.
"Ten streets of territory?" Qin Xiao muttered.
He lowered his head slightly.
His emerald bangs covered his expression, and the thug didn't notice anything strange.
"What? You don't believe me?"
"I'm the boss around here."
"What I say goes."
"Oh?"
"I'm the boss, huh?"
Qin Xiao slowly raised his head.
His eyes were ice-cold.
"You—"
Seeing Qin Xiao's angry expression, the thug laughed.
He reached out to touch Qin Xiao's face.
But the moment his arm lifted—
Qin Xiao grabbed it.
CRACK!
A sharp sound echoed.
"AHHH!! What did you do to me?!"
The thug's arm had been crushed.
Qin Xiao now possessed the strength of a third-tier Low-Class Devil.
Even without using the Chains of Heaven, his physical strength far exceeded human limits.
Breaking a thug's bones was effortless.
At the level of a Low-Class Devil, ordinary weapons like kitchen knives couldn't even cut the skin.
BANG!
Qin Xiao punched him in the stomach.
It felt like being hit by a speeding car.
The thug flew backward, slammed into the wall, and collapsed.
One arm broken, clutching his stomach, he screamed in agony.
After venting his anger, Qin Xiao felt much better.
The frustration of being mistaken for a girl had finally faded.
"You… you're a monster!"
"Stay away from me!"
The thug cried with tears and snot all over his face.
The pain reminded him clearly—
the "beautiful girl" in front of him was actually a monster.
"First," Qin Xiao said calmly,
"I'm a man."
"Next time you harass a girl, make sure you check properly."
"Yes! Yes! I understand!"
"I'll never do bad things again!"
Hearing that Qin Xiao was a man, the thug felt like dying.
He had suffered this much—
because he flirted with a guy.
"Second," Qin Xiao continued.
"Robbery."
"You said these ten streets are your territory."
"As the price for provoking me—"
"One million yen."
"WHAT?! One million?!"
"That was just bragging!"
"I'm just a small thug!"
"How could I be a boss?!"
"Oh?"
"So you were lying to me?"
"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"
"Whether you're a boss or not doesn't matter."
"Hand over one million yen and you can leave."
"Otherwise…"
Qin Xiao didn't finish the sentence.
But the cold glint in his eyes made the thug tremble violently.
Cold sweat poured down his body.
"Please have mercy!"
"I only have 110,000 yen!"
"That's everything I have!"
"If you want a million, even if you kill me I can't give it!"
The thug shakily took money from his pocket.
It was the protection money he had collected recently.
He had planned to drink with friends later.
But instead—
he encountered this monster.
"One million reduced to 110,000?"
"That's a ninety percent discount."
"Please believe me!"
"If I had money, I wouldn't still be hanging around here!"
"I'd already be out enjoying life!"
"Then write an IOU."
"I'll take the 110,000 now."
"You still owe me 890,000 yen."
"WHAT?! I still owe 890,000?!"
At that moment, the thug truly wanted to die.
If he had just gone drinking instead of robbing someone—
none of this would have happened.
"Do you have a problem with that?" Qin Xiao asked calmly.
"No… none…"
The thug dared not argue.
One arm was already broken.
If he kept talking, the other might break too.
"But… I don't have paper or a pen…"
"No problem."
"I do."
Qin Xiao smiled and took out a notebook and pen from his school bag.
After all, he was still technically a student.
He had prepared them yesterday.
Seeing the paper and pen, the thug almost cried.
He came here to rob someone.
But now—
he was the one being robbed.
In the end, trembling and crying, he wrote an IOU for 890,000 yen.
"Also write your home address," Qin Xiao said.
"Otherwise how will I collect the debt?"
"Yes…"
"If the address is fake," Qin Xiao added calmly,
"or belongs to someone else…"
"And I run into you again—"
"You're dead."
At that moment, the thug's last hope completely shattered.
