Chapter 166 Made a Big Mistake
"You bastard, how dare you hit me?"
Mia struggled to get up, pushing away her companion, who tried to help her, and glared at James with fury.
"To lay a hand on me, you must be out of your mind."
She exuded a fierce aura, like a dark cloud, overwhelming those around her and making them feel significantly smaller.
"I'm telling you, you've gotten yourselves into big trouble. If you don't hand over the reishi mushroom today and break one of your own hands, I'll cripple all of you and tear down your clinic."
Her group of companions were also furious, rolling up their sleeves and brandishing nunchucks, ready to fight.
The onlooking patients quickly scattered, fearing they might get caught in the chaos.
"You have three offenses: first, seeking medical help with a bad attitude."
"Second, being rude and disrupting order."
"Third, being arrogant and hitting people."
James was not afraid of Mia and her group at all. With his hands behind his back, he walked toward them.
"JZL Medical Clinic may not be a sacred place, but it's not a place for your arrogance either."
"I slapped you to seek justice."
He stared at Mia, saying, "Considering your father's serious injury, I won't make things difficult for you, but I won't treat him either. Take your people and leave."
"Make things difficult for me? Do you think you're worthy? Even ten of you wouldn't be enough for me," Mia said.
"And do you think I would believe you can cure my father? You're just a kid, what do you know about medicine?"
Mia laughed in anger. "I'll give you one minute to hand over the reishi mushroom and kneel to apologize, or face the consequences."
As she spoke, she kicked a consultation table, sending it flying.
The table crashed into several patients, causing them to scream in pain and fall to the ground, bruised and battered.
"Then I'll make things difficult for you." A cold glint flashed in James' eyes.
In the next second, he slid forward like a cannonball, crashing into Mia.
The momentum was astonishing.
"You're courting death."
Mia's eyebrows shot up. James dared to attack her; it was absurd and laughable.
She was one of the top martial artists at the Bruce Gym, not someone a small fry like James could contend with.
As the thought crossed her mind, Mia quickly raised her hand to block James' charge.
'Not good.'
As soon as her palms touched James' body, Mia felt a destructive force.
All her defenses crumbled.
Her outstretched palm was forcefully pushed back by James, and the impact was returned to her body.
Bruce instinctively shouted, "Watch out!"
With a loud crash, Mia's body shuddered, and she was thrown hard against the wall.
Another dull thud followed as Mia hit the wall, creating spiderweb-like cracks.
The sand piled at the base of the wall for renovation spilled over from the impact.
A bucket of paint also splashed onto Mia.
It was a shocking sight.
Under the astonished gazes of Bruce and the others, Mia was covered in debris, bloodstained and severely injured.
The scene made people gasp and left them in awe of James' martial prowess.
No one had expected that a casual charge from James would have such devastating power.
"Mia! Mia!"
The Davis disciples, snapping out of their shock, rushed forward to help the injured Mia.
Bruce's eyes darkened as he looked at James, surprised that such a skilled martial artist was hidden in a small clinic. He judged that James was only slightly inferior to him.
Jared and Daniel exchanged worried glances. James injuring Mia might provoke Richard to destroy JZL Medical Clinic.
"I'm fine!"
Mia, being helped up, pushed her companions away, her face twisted with rage as she glared at James. How dare he seriously injure her.
"You dare to ambush and injure me? Do you know who I am? Do you know who my master is?"
Though surprised that James had injured her, Mia believed she had been caught off guard by his ambush.
Moreover, with Richard backing her, she had the confidence to confront James.
James sneered at her words.
"I don't care who you are. Anyone who causes trouble at JZL Medical Clinic will be dealt with. Not just you, even Richard."
"If he comes here causing trouble, I'll beat him too."
Jared silently cursed; this was provoking Richard and could lead to big trouble, but he didn't say anything to James.
Hearing this, the Mystic Alliance disciples were furious, pointing at James and ready to fight.
"You think you're tough? Today, I'll show you what real toughness is."
Mia laughed angrily. "Everyone, break this guy's arms and legs, then tear this place down. Let's see if he dares to be stubborn."
"If you're determined to oppose me, then I won't hold back."
A glint flashed in James' eyes, and in the next second, he struck out with a palm.
"What?" Mia exclaimed, instinctively retreating several steps to avoid James' attack.
Despite her best efforts, Mia couldn't evade James' palm, and no one could stop it.
With a loud crash, James' palm struck her abdomen.
A surge of force injured her internal organs and crippled her martial arts.
Mia let out another scream, but this time, she didn't fly out. Instead, she staggered back three steps and then knelt on the ground, her expression fearful.
She tried to stand and fight James but found she had no strength, and blood trickled from her mouth.
She was furious and shocked. "What did you do to me?"
James, with his hands behind his back, replied, "Nothing much, just made you a cripple."
Since the two sides were already at odds, James didn't mind crippling her to avoid future trouble.
"You dare cripple me? You dare cripple me?"
Mia's face twisted with rage, trying to stand and fight James, but her body shuddered, and she fell back to the ground.
She was filled with grief and indignation, never expecting that she, a favored child with prospects of becoming the next gym leader, would be crippled here.
"You bastard, you're too arrogant!"
Her companions were completely enraged and charged at James.
James didn't waste words, kicking them one by one. In less than a minute, he had kicked over a dozen people away.
Their tendons were struck by James' kicks, causing excruciating pain and rendering them unable to fight, and they wouldn't be able to practice martial arts for three to five months.
Mia clenched her fists, wanting to kill James, but was helpless.
Bruce was also furious, struggling to say, "Young man, have you considered the consequences of being so ruthless?"
James was indifferent. "Consequences? Did you consider the consequences when you came here causing trouble?"
He had no sympathy for Bruce, who could have stopped his daughter's actions but chose to let her run wild.
This showed that Bruce was also used to being domineering.
"That's different." Hearing James' words, Bruce was indifferent, "You're just a small clinic, not qualified to compare with Bruce Gym. And you're not qualified to talk about consequences."
"You crippled my daughter and injured so many of my disciples. Even if I can't deal with you, my master will seek justice."
"Young man, think carefully about how to resolve this."
His face was filled with killing intent. If he could stand, he would have already killed James.
James smiled and, without answering, walked up to Bruce.
"Actually, you made a big mistake."
