Chapter 55 The Mighty Man, Balu's Master

Louis was startled, and his expression and movements were indescribably comical.

"Hey! Kid!!"

Pazu immediately shielded Sheeta behind her. Sheeta had changed her clothes, and the hat on her head covered her pigtails.

"What is it? I have an urgent matter, could you please hurry?"

"Have you seen a girl come here?"

"Ah! Girl, you came yesterday, my master's little Maggie!"

Upon hearing that Louis had been there, he was immediately excited, but as Palou continued speaking, he realized he had been tricked. Louis angrily exclaimed:

"Kid, get lost..."

Fortunately, Louis was truly professional and didn't make things difficult for the two children. Pazu and Sheeta immediately ran off into the distance.

"Hida, it seems their target really is you!"

But before they had gone far, another sky pirate emerged from the brick kiln, holding Sheeta's clothes and shouting:

"Louis, it's that girl's clothes!!"

"What?! You bastards, you actually got away with it! You two, go tell Mom right now!"

After saying that, Louis chased after Balu. He was really angry! If he caught those two brats, he would make sure they knew that there were things in this world harder than his master's fist.

Obviously, Pazu and Sheeta, with their small arms and legs, couldn't outrun Louis, a tall and strong man. Fortunately, Pazu wasn't going to face these people alone. He immediately headed towards the town, knowing that things would be easier once they reached a populated area.

Clearly, Pazu's kindness is commendable, but he is, after all, just a child. If Dora and the others are truly heinous villains, Pazu's actions could bring disaster to the town.

To make matters worse, the other sky pirates had already been searching for Sheeta's whereabouts in the town, and Charles and Henry were right in front of Master Pazu.

"I didn't see it! You'd better leave quickly!!"

Master Balu puffed out his chest, his tone somewhat unfriendly. He was an old hand in the game, and had been quite a figure in his youth. So, despite the Sky Pirates' suits and ties, Master Balu could tell at a glance that these guys were no pushovers.

"Really? She's a cute girl with black twin tails!!"

If Master Pazu was unkind, then Charles was coercing. How so? It was a competition unique to males, because Master Pazu's physique was similar to Charles's, to the point that Charles forgot his mother's instructions to avoid trouble after seeing him.

Master Balu was certainly no pushover either, as could be seen from his attire: a worker's hat, work clothes, a blue undershirt, and a patch on his pants. It seemed that if it weren't for these sky pirates bothering him, he would have been ready to go to work.

The key issue is that Master Balu is also very irritable right now. Life is already tough enough, and then a group of "rich people" came along, speaking in an aggressive tone, which immediately triggered his rebellious nature.

"Master...Master..."

Just then, Pazu and Sheeta came running over, and the three of them were immediately drawn to them. Suddenly, Sheeta tripped over a pothole, her hat flew off, and her twin tails were revealed.

"Big brother, stop them..."

Louis shouted immediately from behind, and Charles and Henry reacted just then. They were about to step in to block the way when a vicious dog pounced on the two little ones. The two little ones ducked down, and the two strong men fell face-first into the dirt.

Upon seeing this, Pazu immediately pushed Shiita behind their master and shouted:

"Master, these people are sky pirates, they've come to capture this girl!"

Upon hearing that they were air pirates, the master immediately puffed out his chest again, while Charles and Henry, who had fallen, got up. Henry immediately shouted:

"Damn it, mind your own business!"

"Wow!! Is being a sky pirate really that easy now?"

Master Baruch showed no fear despite the enemy's superior numbers, and Charles immediately puffed out his chest, seemingly ready for a fight. Henry hesitated slightly, saying:

"Big brother..."

Before he could finish speaking, Charles stepped forward.

"Pirates...I want to see them!!"

Little Maggie's childish voice made the atmosphere both tense and adorable. Fortunately, her mother pulled her and Sheeta inside. Seeing the situation, Pazu felt emboldened and puffed out his little chest, looking like he wouldn't back down.

"You're not welcome here, you sky pirates!!"

"It's Dora's family, you bastards, hand him over to us!"

"Go back! We only have poor people here!"

Before the master could even make a move, Balu couldn't hold back any longer. He rolled up his clothes, looking ready to fight. Fortunately, his master's wife reacted quickly and pulled him inside.

Inside, the master's wife was holding a frying pan. How to put it? This woman wasn't married for nothing! She's really capable when things get tough.

"You all get out from the back!!"

After saying that, the master's wife grabbed the frying pan and rushed out, but as she went out, she stood with her hands behind her back, looking like she was watching a show.

"Do you want to die?"

"If you're a man, settle things with your fists!!"

Once those words were spoken, there was no turning back. After all, what man could bear such ridicule? Clearly, both Charles and Master Balu were now enraged.

The area was immediately surrounded by onlookers, and some people even fanned the flames.

"Beat them up!!"

"Go for it, bro!!"

Not only were the townspeople stirring things up, but Henry and Louis were also making things worse!

We may not understand this from today's perspective because of the historical context. If we go back ten or twenty years, it would be common for Chinese people to fight.

Especially in factories, when they first opened up, workers' interests were no longer guaranteed, and at that time, they would fight over the smallest things.

It's not that there's any real hatred that can't be overcome, but rather that life has been suppressed for too long, and entertainment is scarce, so there's no way to release the passion in one's heart. What else can one do if not fight?

And it's true, people around don't try to stop the fight at first; they're even quite excited. Of course, if one side gets angry and grabs a weapon, everyone will try to stop them.

In the end, it was always influential people, either the chief engineer or the deputy factory director, who stepped in to mediate, because it wasn't really a conflict between two people; the fights were basically caused by issues between one workshop and another.

If not handled properly, things could get out of hand and become difficult to manage. Of course, those leaders are quite adept at this, and their method is actually quite simple: just arrange for the canteen to provide everyone with some oil and fat to appease the public's emotions.

Therefore, we rarely see these things in our happy society now, and fighting is just a form of entertainment for them.

At this moment, Master Pazu and Charles were in a similar situation. Charles was a sky pirate, and Master Pazu's identity was no simple matter either. This year alone, he had participated in three labor movements, and he was at the forefront of them. This can be seen from the labor movement posters hanging in his house.

So, in another sense, Pazu's master and the sky pirates share a common enemy: the current imperial court! (This isn't an overinterpretation! Everyone knows the old man; there's no veiled criticism, he's openly rebelling!)

"Yeah..."

Charles was instantly enraged. With a forceful pull, like Popeye eating spinach, the buttons on his pink undershirt and white suit burst open, revealing his muscular physique and thick chest hair.

"Great, beautiful!!"

At this moment, both Dora's brothers and the onlookers immediately began to cheer. And Pazu's master was not to be outdone...

A mocking smile appeared on his lips. He gritted his teeth, strained his muscles, and used all his strength. His biceps exploded, tearing the blue shirt apart!

Compared to Charles, Master Balu's explosion effects and visual impact are much greater!

“Hehehe!!”

Master Balu revealed a victorious smile, and the tattoo on his arm was also clearly visible: an arrow piercing a heart.

It's been said that Balu's master was definitely a big shot when he was young. Back then, he used two watermelon knives to fight his way from the South Heavenly Gate to the Lingxiao Palace.

Before, the tattoo on his shoulder was an arrow, but ever since he met his teacher's wife, it has grown to include a heart!

Balu's master is over forty years old this year, but his wife is only in her twenties. It is clear that there must be a passionate, moving, touching and dramatic love story between them.

If Master Balu is a super tough guy, this tattoo adds another ten points to his physique; even Charles on the other side was completely intimidated.

Just as Master Balu was displaying a proud, masculine expression, his wife behind him said with a mixture of helplessness and smugness:

"Who will sew this shirt for you?"

Master Balu, who had been looking proud, immediately wilted. It seems that although he looks like a tough guy, he is actually a henpecked husband. His facial expression became extremely cute.

In that moment of distraction, Charles launched a surprise attack, sending a large pear straight at Master Balu's abdomen! Master Balu winced in pain, but quickly managed to hold it in.

“Hehehe…”

Hehehehe...

Master Balu gritted his teeth and chuckled, but the sweat beading on his forehead betrayed him. He grabbed Charles's shoulder with a smile and returned the punch!

After suffering a heavy blow, Charles looked dangerous and said he wasn't in pain, but then used all his strength to send Balu's master flying.

Just then, Liu Yufei, who was watching, caught it. Upon seeing this, Liu Yufei immediately smiled and said:

"Old buddy, we've been through thick and thin together, don't let us down! Keep your spirits up, you're a hero!!"

Liu Yufei patted his lower back, and Master Balu immediately felt the pain disappear. He thought he had mastered his divine skill! He then punched Charles in the face and gave him a massage.

Charles also leaned back, and Henry and Louis immediately supported their elder brother, acting like his assistants, and even massaged his muscles.

"Is my brother alright?"

“Te…”

Charles spat angrily and charged at Master Balu again! Liu Yufei and the others took a few steps back to give them enough space to maneuver.

"Come on, place your bets now!!"
