Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 136: Chapter 136 Loyalty

Su Yang gave Wang Hao a reassuring pat on the shoulder with a slight smile. In truth, he helped Wang Hao partly because Wang Hao’s experiences were somewhat similar to his own.

Lin Qingru might not have gone to such extremes, but it wasn’t far off. Moreover, if it hadn’t been for Lin Ze Ping, Lin Qingru would have definitely taken more drastic measures.

Additionally, Wang Hao’s determination not to admit defeat even with broken ribs truly impressed Su Yang.

Although Wang Hao didn’t possess significant abilities, his unyielding spirit alone was enough!

”Since you’ve called me Brother Yang, I can’t let you down!” Su Yang said softly, ”This time, at the Nanluo City Inter-School Martial Arts Competition, I’m going to make you the champion!”

”Ah?” Wang Hao was stunned, looking at Su Yang in disbelief, ”How... how is that possible?”

”In this world, nothing is impossible!” Su Yang replied with a light smile.

Seeing the certainty in Su Yang’s eyes, Wang Hao nodded vigorously, ”Brother Yang, I definitely won’t let you down!”

”Hey, Su Yang, can I also get a chance to show my face there?” Zhao Qiupeng immediately clamored.

”You might as well give up on that thought.” Su Yang glanced at Zhao Qiupeng, ”Would Xie Wei agree to let you fight in the ring?”

Zhao Qiupeng immediately hung his head. Xie Wei disliked these violent scenes and preferred a peaceful life, which was why Zhao Qiupeng started to focus on his studies. Otherwise, with his personality, he would surely be causing a stir with Su Yang.

”Haha, Qiupeng bro is a man who loves beauty more than power!” Wang Hao laughed.

Zhao Qiupeng immediately puffed out his chest proudly, ”Of course, who doesn’t know I have good luck with women!”

”Give me a break...”

The three of them burst into laughter. After eating, Su Yang got up to pay the bill but was firmly held down by Wang Hao.

”This meal is on me! I’m treating! Don’t anybody dare fight me for it!” Wang Hao dashed to the front desk, but his face fell when he heard the price.

”Boss, are you kidding me? We didn’t eat much, how can it be so expensive?” Wang Hao protested.

”The bottle of wine you drank is pricey!” The boss, a man in his forties, pointed at the bottle, ”That bottle is one hundred and eighty!”

Wang Hao looked at the wine bottle and couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. He was just a poor student and didn’t have that much money on him.

”What do you say?” Su Yang walked over, ”Shall I take care of it?”

”No need!” Wang Hao immediately shook his head, ”I said I’d treat you guys, how can I let you pay?”

”We’re all mates here. Why be so particular?” Su Yang said with a smile.

”Still, no!” Wang Hao insisted, ”What’s right is right. This time it’s my treat. You guys go first, I need to use the restroom. My mom is also coming to find me, let’s meet tomorrow!”

Su Yang looked at Wang Hao but said nothing, turning around and leaving with Zhao Qiupeng.

”Su Yang, isn’t this a bit unkind of us?” As they left the restaurant, Zhao Qiupeng whispered, ”Wang Hao’s family isn’t well-off. His father has been paralyzed for years, and his mother runs a street stall. It’s hard for them to make ends meet and support him and his sister. Shouldn’t we pay the money?”

Su Yang shook his head, paused after turning the corner, then turned back to look towards the restaurant, ”Just watch.”

When Zhao Qiupeng looked back, Wang Hao stood at the entrance of the restaurant, looking around as if checking to see if Su Yang and Zhao Qiupeng had gone far.

Unable to see the two anymore, he returned to the restaurant, seemingly begging the owner for something.

The owner appeared impatient, turned his backpack upside down, and then searched his clothes, only to find a bit more than a hundred yuan.

The owner was very annoyed, and lashed out at Wang Hao with a barrage of angry curses. In the end, Wang Hao hung his head low and headed toward the back kitchen.

Zhao Qiu Peng stood dumbfounded and whispered, ”What is he doing?”

Su Yang did not respond; he had figured out Wang Hao’s intention. This man was very loyal, letting him and Zhao Qiu Peng leave first while he stayed behind, pleading with the owner and offering to work off the debt.

If before, Su Yang had helped Wang Hao because they were in similar straits and Wang Hao had an air of tenacity, now, Su Yang truly saw him as a friend!

Brotherhood should be just like this. Fatty had treated Su Yang this way at first, and now, so did Wang Hao.

Su Yang did not help Wang Hao pay off the debt; he merely etched this favor into his heart, reminding himself that this time, he owed Wang Hao!

...

At 10:30 in the evening, seven luxury cars roared up to Qingyun Clubhouse in Nanluo City.

The red Ferrari sports car leading the pack was known to all in Nanluo City’s circle of rich kids because it belonged to Young Master Ding Qiuhan of the Ding Family.

Outside the Qingyun Clubhouse’s main entrance, over a hundred young men and women stood waiting. Most of these people were members of the four major clans, along with some closely associated with the clans but not members.

Liao Yuxuan and Lin Qingru stood among them, both members of this circle of rich kids.

Upon seeing Ding Qiuhuan’s car approaching, everyone immediately moved to greet it. However, the car showed no sign of slowing down even as it drew near them.

Everyone’s expressions changed and they hastily scattered as the seven cars charged straight for the front door of the Qingyun Clubhouse.

The automatic doors of the Qingyun Clubhouse had not yet opened, and the seven cars showed no indication of slowing down. The Ferrari pulled back slightly and a sturdy pickup truck took the lead, charging forward with fury and smashing open the automatic doors. A security guard at the door had no time to dodge and was sent flying.

The other six cars followed suit, two of them rolling over the security guard as if he were not a human being.

The hundred or so onlookers were left in sheer disbelief, aware of Young Master Ding’s domineering behavior, but they hadn’t expected it to be this extreme. To crash through the gates of Qingyun Clubhouse was Ding Qiuhuan picking a deathmatch with Ling Zi?

Although the four major families were dominant, Ling Zi had the backing of the Hou Family, and they generally didn’t want to mess with him. What confidence did Ding Qiuhuan have to make such a big scene?

As people inside the clubhouse heard the commotion outside, they rushed out in droves. Leading them was Li Yuanfa, a close aide to Lord Ling. Seeing the situation, his brows immediately furrowed.

”Young Master Ding, what are you doing?” Li Yuanfa approached Ding Qiuhuan and said in a deep voice, ”Qingyun Clubhouse is Lord Ling’s territory. Charging in like this, aren’t you disrespecting Lord Ling?”

Ding Qiuhuan glanced at Li Yuanfa and said, ”What’s Ling Zi to me? Even if I gave him face, could he handle it?”

Li Yuanfa became angry, ”Be mindful of your words, Ding Qiuhuan. I respect you as a member of the four major families, but no one can insult Lord Ling in front of me!”

”Oh, is that so?” Ding Qiuhuan let out a cold laugh, ”So I’ve insulted him, what can you do about it?”

”Then don’t blame me for not showing respect to the four major families!” Li Yuanfa’s voice grew harsh.

Ding Qiuhuan scoffed dismissively, ”Ha, don’t show respect, what can you do about it?”
