"Usually when someone says something wrong, others will ask them to take it back. What good does that do? None at all. So I want you to take a big piece of paper and have me, the victor, write 'Sick Man of East Asia' on it, then make him swallow it. Now that would be satisfying!" Chen Haoxuan said with a lewd smile.
"Yes, yes, let him swallow the paper," Yang Lin said excitedly.
Yang Lin quickly ran out to the school's convenience store, where he bought a large piece of drawing paper, a brush, and some ink.
Soon, Yang Lin returned to the Karate Club with the items in hand, panting as he said to Chen Haoxuan, "Haoxuan, I've brought everything."
"Mm." Chen Haoxuan acknowledged as he crouched down, opened the large piece of paper that was over one and a half meters long and half a meter wide, dipped the brush in ink, and began to write.
Ichiro Matsui had already stood up. Seeing that Chen Haoxuan really intended for him to swallow the drawing paper, he became frightened. The quality of this paper was good, making it thicker than ordinary paper. How could he possibly eat a piece of paper over one and a half meters long?
"You can't treat me like this," Ichiro Matsui shouted at Chen Haoxuan.
Chen Haoxuan did not look up; he was focused on writing. He calmly said, "You are only allowed to bully us Chinese people, but we aren't allowed to bully you? You insult China while in China; you really are quite foolish! This paper? You will eat it today whether you want to or not. Otherwise, I will break your limbs and turn you into a useless person."
Ichiro Matsui impulsively shouted at Chen Haoxuan, "I challenge you!"
At this moment, Chen Haoxuan had finished writing 'Sick Man of East Asia.' The characters were written with bold strokes, full of spirit and vigor. He held up the paper and said with a grin to Ichiro Matsui, "Matsui Ichiro, you seem even dumber than a pig. Knowing you can't defeat me, you still want to challenge me? Fine, let's fight. I won't make you eat this paper if you win. But I need to warn you in advance: I will break your limbs."
Hearing Chen Haoxuan's words made Ichiro Matsui realize that he was not Chen Haoxuan's opponent at all; his impulsiveness had led him to say something foolish. He stammered, "I... what I meant was that didn't you just say there are many experts in China? Then I'll bring my friends over sometime for one-on-one matches. None of our people can compete more than once; let's see if your Chinese experts are more numerous than our Island Nation's experts." As he spoke, Ichiro Matsui's pride began to swell.
"Alright! Just tell me when!" Chen Haoxuan replied readily. He wanted Lin Hao and the others to compete against these little devils and also give them some experience.
"Next Wednesday, which is October Ten, we will hold a martial arts competition at New City University. I want to remind you that I will bring over twenty Karate experts with me, and their skills are no less than mine, so you better find some skilled fighters to deal with them! Hahaha..." Ichiro Matsunoi laughed heartily.
"Alright, no problem. But first, please eat this piece of paper!" Chen Haoxuan said coldly to Ichiro Matsunoi.
"Huh?? You want me to eat it?" Ichiro Matsunoi exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Haoxuan snorted and said, "Hmph, a competition is a competition, and eating paper is eating paper; they cannot be confused. If you don't eat this paper now, I won't have time to wait for you. Let me just take you out!" As he spoke, Chen Haoxuan walked towards Ichiro Matsunoi, seemingly intent on incapacitating him.
Chen Haoxuan's harsh approach made Ichiro Matsunoi believe him. Reluctantly, he said, "Fine, I'll eat it. But if you lose on the tenth of this month, all of your competitors will have to eat a piece of paper this big with 'Sick Man of East Asia' written on it."
"If you lose, you'll have to do the same. That's fine," Chen Haoxuan replied calmly. He knew his subordinates; Lin Hao and the others had improved significantly and could take on thirty or forty ordinary people in a barehanded fight.
"Alright," Ichiro Matsunoi shouted. He took the piece of paper from Chen Haoxuan's hand, tore off a chunk, and began chewing. As soon as he took a bite, his brow furrowed; he found the paper incredibly unpalatable, so much so that he felt like vomiting.
After eating a small piece for four minutes, Ichiro Matsunoi's slow pace displeased Chen Haoxuan. He shouted at him, "Hey, are you even a man? Eating like a woman with tiny bites? Can you eat faster? I don't have that much time to watch your little performance."
Ichiro Matsunoi could only swallow his anger. He imagined the paper was Chen Haoxuan and started eating it in large bites. However, when he reached halfway through the paper, he couldn't hold back any longer and vomited all over the place.
"Ichiro Matsunoi, I warn you: if you throw up again, I'll make you eat what you've just vomited," Chen Haoxuan said coldly.
"I really can't eat anymore; this paper is too awful! Please spare me!" Ichiro Matsunoi pleaded with a pained expression.
"No way. One is that I've broken your limbs; the other is finishing this piece of paper. You choose! I'll give you twenty minutes; if you don't finish this paper within twenty minutes, I'll incapacitate you," Chen Haoxuan said coldly.
"I'll give you money, just let me go. I'm willing to give you ten thousand Renminbi." Ichiro Matsunoi used his best tactic: bribery. As a coach of the Karate Club at New City University, he earned about four to five thousand Renminbi a month, so he thought ten thousand Renminbi was a lot. He figured that for the sake of ten thousand Renminbi, Chen Haoxuan would probably let him go.
Ichiro Matsunoi had just arrived in New City and was not concerned about matters in China. No one had mentioned anything about Chen Haoxuan to him, so he was unaware that Chen Haoxuan was a billionaire. If he had known, he might have offered his entire fortune.
"Ten thousand Renminbi? Hahaha... Did I hear that right? He wants to give me ten thousand Renminbi to let him go? I didn't expect him to be such a joker..." Chen Haoxuan laughed heartily.
Yang Lin and the others joined in the laughter. In New City, and even throughout China, who didn't know that Chen Haoxuan was a billionaire? Even most foreigners knew that Chen Haoxuan was a billionaire. It was truly ridiculous that Ichiro Matsunoi, studying at the same school as Chen Haoxuan, did not know about his identity.
"Is that not enough? Then I'll give you fifty thousand Renminbi. Just let me off this time, and I'll cancel my participation in the competition on the tenth." Ichiro Matsunoi said seriously to Chen Haoxuan.
