Evan Lin's voice cut through the air.
That cool, clear tone snapped everyone out of their shock over Shawn Zhang's dramatic exit.
The way they looked at Evan Lin had already changed.
Those who knew Evan Lin's strength weren't surprised, but couldn't help marveling at how swift and clean his move was.
Those who didn't know Evan Lin's skills had just one word written all over their faces: 'Damn!'
That slap—who knows if it left Shawn Zhang's handsome mouth permanently crooked.
If Shawn Zhang ends up being called 'Crooked Mouth Zhang' from now on, that'd be pretty tragic.
He's my friend. Helping a friend is something he'd want to do. You bullied me, he stepped in—even if he's useless, I don't think he did anything wrong.
Yara Song forced herself to stay calm, staring at the young man's face in front of her.
She acted all righteous and confident, but the nervousness in her words was clear as day.
Today, she'd already lost face once thanks to Serena.
Yara Song's pride meant she had no reason to back down now.
She stood there, locking eyes with Evan Lin.
"Your logic's fine, but he's too weak and you're too dumb."
Evan Lin shook his head. "You guys have no clue who you're even talking to."
"But you guys are pretty lucky today."
"Since I'm in a decent mood today, otherwise, things wouldn't be so simple for you right now."
Evan Lin continued.
"Wow, I just realized—this guy's actually really handsome!"
"So manly! He's got real guy vibes!"
Compared to Shawn Zhang the pretty-boy, Evan's actually more pleasing to the eye.
Just moments ago, these women were all about Shawn Zhang's looks being 'justice.'
But seeing Evan Lin so calm and casual, chatting with a big star like Yara Song, instantly got them all excited inside.
Normally, when would you ever see someone talk to Yara Song like that?
Yara Song was beautiful—more beautiful than any of them.
And as a celebrity, Yara Song was really popular too.
That made the rest of them—also women—feel a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
But now, watching this young guy go toe-to-toe with Yara Song—no hesitation, no fake gentleman act just because she's pretty—they couldn't help but admire his boldness.
That genuine vibe made them switch sides, just like that.
Their gaze toward Evan Lin grew warmer and more approving.
