Strong Offense And Defense Chapter 5

Editor: Mims

Sure enough, Nie Chuan's collar was caught by the other person. At that moment, Nie Chuan felt that he would be strangled! 

“Didn't see me? This is the first time I saw such an arrogant kid!” 

Billy's fist was raised, his arm was thicker than the bowls that Nie Chuan's family used to eat rice! Nie Chuan closed his eyes tightly and turned away. This time he was really going to get peach blossom all over his face! 

But a few seconds pa.s.sed, and the pain in his imagination did not come. 

“Hey, if he said he didn't see then he didn't see. Or are you just looking for a reason to hit him?” 

It was a lazy voice with a hint of ridicule. 

Nie Chuan stiffened and turned his head in the direction of the voice. The other person was very tall. Only when he raised his head and met the other's gaze did he realize that it was Carlo Brandon. 

“And if I say I want to beat him?” Billy raised his chin. 

Although Carlo Brandon is very tall and is also quite muscular, Nie Chuan still feels that Carlo wouldn't be able to withstand a hit! 

He must know that when Billy plays football, he can send several people flying in one go! 

“Then let me advise you, change to another day.” Carlo was still smiling, it seems he did not put Billy in his eyes. 

[T/N: not taking him seriously]

“Then I'll clean him up another day, today I'll teach you a lesson!” 

Billy threw Nie Chuan aside. Nie Chuan's head was about to hit the corner of the table when his forehead was suddenly supported firmly by a hand and even his fall was completely stopped. 

The other person's palm was very warm. Nie Chuan weighed more than 60 kilograms but the other person's arm did not even tremble. 

Nie Chuan looked up, met the cold eyes of Reece Reddington, and his heart suddenly sank. 

When he remembered that dream from last night, even his breathing stopped. 

“Hey, stand up by yourself.” Reese's voice was as cold as ever. 

Nie Chuan hurriedly straightened up. 

At this time, Carlo had avoided Billy's first punch. 

Many students had already come up, but they didn't dare get close since Billy already threw out his second punch. 

Right at that moment, his wrist was buckled. Billy's eyes widened, because the person holding him was not Carlo. Carlo was standing not too far away, holding his arms and laughing. 

Billy wanted to turn to get a clear look at the other person, but his arm was twisted behind his back and he was pressed down without warning. 

With a "peng–," Billy's face was slammed onto the table. 

The two students sitting at that table hurried away with their plates, the gla.s.ses of one of them almost falling off. 

“I will kill you! Kill you!” Billy shouted with a red face. 

Nie Chuan and Zhou Bin were completely stunned. 

Because Billy's opponent wasn't just anyone, it was Reece Reddington. He only used one hand, the expression on his face very calm. 

“Kill me?” Reece curled the corner of his lips, revealing his signature cold smile. “You can jump from the top of the law school building and, if lucky, you might be able to crush me. Unfortunately I'm hardly ever at the law school building.” 

The law school is the highest building in the whole DK.

The meaning in Reece's irony was too obvious. Billy was going mad, he struggled so desperately that the entire table shook noisily. Nie Chuan couldn't bear to look straight. 

Billy gathered all his strength to try to prop himself up but Reece simply pressed his elbow against his back and pressed him down again. 

There was a short shout from Billy. 

Reece turned his head, an arrogant smile on his lips, “Do you want to be banned?” 

Billy was stunned. 

After Reece loosened his hand, Billy stood up and glared at Reece. Nie Chuan believed that at this moment he must really want to beat Reece into a pulp but Reece's level seems to be far higher than Billy's. 

“Who are you?” 

“Reece Reddington.” 

“I'll remember you!” Billy pushed through the onlookers after throwing out these words and left the restaurant. 

Nie Chuan and Zhou Bin exhaled in unison.

Carlo laughed and put his arm around Nie Chuan's shoulder, his weight almost crus.h.i.+ng Nie Chuan.

“Hey! You should thank us! If it weren't for me and Reece, you would definitely have been beaten until you're shorter than you are now!” 

Nie Chuan looked up and stared at Carlo, all the grat.i.tude he felt just now disappeared. 

“Hey, Reece! Didn't I already say I must be very important to you? As soon as you saw that that big blockhead wanted to beat me, you couldn't wait to take him out!” 

“Should I just watch you lose all of the basketball team's face?” Reece asked. 

“Ah, don't be like this!” Carlo patted Reece's shoulder. 

“Lose face? How would you lose face?” Zhou Bin asked curiously. 

“That… Reece probably knew that I'll hold my head and ask that big blockhead to not hit my face…” Carlo looked up at the sky. 

Zhou Bin: “…” 

Nie Chuan: “…” 

“That, thank you for saving us today! Have you eaten? I'll treat you guys!” Zhou Bin said. 

“No need. In fact, I came to this restaurant with Reece just to find you! Hey kid, what's your name?” Carlo looked at Nie Chuan enthusiastically.

Nie Chuan understood that it's useless no matter how he glared at Carlo. This guy will still call him “kid."

“Nie Chuan.” Nie Chuan replied. 

“Ah? What? Ní Qīn?” [T/N: sounds like "Nee Ting"]

Carlo's p.r.o.nunciation of Chinese was beyond help.

“Nie Chuan.” Nie Chuan p.r.o.nounced his Chinese name clearer and more slowly.

“Oh… Anyway, don't you have an English name?” 

Carlo felt that the price of properly saying Nie Chuan's Chinese name would definitely entail biting his tongue countless times, so he decisively gave up. 

“No.” 

“How is that possible?” Carlo looked at Zhou Bin and expressed his doubts.

Zhou Bin nodded and said, “He said he wanted a name that was easy to remember and p.r.o.nounce. The English name I originally gave him was John but he said it sounded like someone selling pizza. Then I changed it to Tom. He then said Tom sounded like a stupid cat…” 

“Stupid cat?” Carlo looked puzzled.

“Tom and Jerry.” Nie Chuan added. 

“Oh… and then? Was there only John and Tom?” 

“Then I said Jack is good… He said that Jack sounds very abnormal…” 

“How is it abnormal?” Carlo looked at Nie Chuan. 

“Jack the Ripper.” Nie Chuan pouted.

“Oh…” Carlo nodded. “What should we do then? Let me think of one for you?” 

Nie Chuan looked at Carlo. Maybe this guy can really give him a reliable English name. 

“How about KFC? Eye-catching, right?” 

After several seconds, Carlo threw out such a sentence. 

Nie Chuan has already lost his appet.i.te. 

“Allen.” Reece, who had been silent, suddenly spoke. 

Reece's voice was cold and deep, but inexplicably pleasing to the ear. Nie Chuan's nerves seems to have been stirred up and trembled. 

“Oh this one's good!” Carlo clapped and said to Nie Chuan. 

“Is this okay?” Although Nie Chuan felt that the name was much better than John, Tom, or Jack, it was not particularly interesting. 

“It's good! Of course it's good!” Zhou Bin nodded vigorously and said, “The name Allen has a harmonious meaning as well as handsome, good-looking.” Just think, every time a girl calls you by your English name, she's praising that you're handsome and good looking! Isn't this name good?" 

Nie Chuan's eyes lit up, “Alright! My English name will be Allen!” 

Carlo blinked and said, “Allen, shouldn't you thank us? Not only did we help you straighten out that blockhead, we even gave you an English name that is pleasing to the ears, easy to read, and meaningful.” 

“I'll treat you guys to a meal?” Nie Chuan said. 

Carol shook his head: “I'm already full. If you really want to thank me, just go with me to meet my teammates.” 

“Why?” Nie Chuan asked.

“In order to thank me! It's not something that'll be embarra.s.sing for you. Unless you want to refuse?” Carol had an appearance of taking it for granted. 

“Yes, I intend to refuse…” 

Nie Chuan hadn't finished his words when Carlo suddenly threw him over his shoulder and grinned at Reece. “Hey Reece! Let's go to the basketball court!” 

Reece's eyes swept past the struggling Nie Chuan while Carlo's other hand pulled out his phone and started talking to someone.

They left the restaurant under the eyes of everyone. 

Zhou Bin had never seen such a scene and hurriedly ran after them. 

“Hey! Carlo Brandon, you put me down right now! I know my power! I will report you! I'll get you banned!” Niechuan shouted loudly! 

He knows that DK's basketball team is definitely going to partic.i.p.ate in the NCAA basketball tournament. Just now Billy had been worried that he will be suspended if he fought. Nie Chuan did not believe that Carlo wasn't even a little bit afraid. 

Carlo laughed and said, “Report me! Report me! I'm waiting!” 

Nie Chuan's face was covered with black lines. This was similar to “Shout all you can, shout until your voice breaks and see if anyone comes to your rescue."

Nie Chuan was taken to the school's outdoor basketball court by Carlo. Nie Chuan had heard that DK's basketball team is rather well known in the country. Although it has stopped in the top 16 for three consecutive years and has become known as “the fallen king,” the school's investment in the basketball team is unequivocal. The coach changed twice in three years and there is even a stadium dedicated to the basketball team.

The outdoor basketball court where they are now is where the other students usually come to exercise. 

It is now lunch break and there were quite a few people on the court. When they saw Carlo and Reece coming, they subconsciously stopped and even gave up half of the court. 

When Carlo put Nie Chuan down, Nie Chuan staggered back two steps. He was just about to turn and pull Zhou Bin to escape when the back of his collar was caught by Carlo.

“Eh! Why are you running! Let's have fun!” 

The word “fun" made Nie Chuan's hair stand on end. With these big men, Nie Chuan feels that it was no fun at all! 

“Hey, Carlo! Is this the guy you called me about and made me give up my nap to come take a look at?” 

A slightly impatient voice sounded from behind Nie Chuan. 

Nie Chuan saw a boy with short, flaxen hair and freckles sitting on a basketball outside the court with raised eyebrows, staring at him.
