Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Supreme Private Room

”What?” Everyone was stunned, and people like Hu Ke, Zhou Lin, and Hee Quan all gaped at Su Yang in disbelief. This plainly dressed, seemingly poor kid was actually one of the major shareholders behind Hidden Dragon Villa? Are you kidding me?

”Is that so?” Su Yang was hearing about this for the first time too. In fact, there were so many businesses under the Qingyun Clubhouse that he himself didn’t even know what was included.

”Let me make a phone call then.” Su Yang dialed Ling Zi’s number; before long, Brother She had brought over a group of people.

”Young Master Su, you’ve arrived. Lord Ling hasn’t made it yet; he asked me to apologize to you on his behalf.” Brother She bowed deeply in front of Su Yang, his demeanor as respectful as could be.

Zhou Lin, Hu Ke, Hee Quan, and the others were dumbstruck. Brother She’s presence alone indicated he was no ordinary person. But the respect and humility he showed to Su Yang were absolutely astonishing.

”No problem,” Su Yang waved his hand dismissively, ”Do you have a VIP room?”

”Yes!” Brother She immediately said, ”Clear out the best Supreme Private Room, today it’s only for Young Master Su and your friends!”

”Thank you!” Su Yang nodded.

”You’re too kind, Young Master Su!” Brother She said, ”This best Supreme Private Room is where Lord Ling entertains his most honored guests. You, as our most esteemed visitor, naturally, deserve this room!”

Su Yang smiled faintly. Brother She was quite eloquent, no wonder Ling Zi considered him his right-hand man.

The three, including Hu Ke, were still in a daze. Hu Ke whispered, ”Who’s this Lord Ling? He sounds very high and mighty?”

”Nonsense!” Zhou Lin whispered back, ”Lord Ling is the underground king of Nanluo City, one of the seven bigwigs of Pingnan Province, a man who commands the sky with one hand!”

Hu Ke was shocked, ”That’s him!? But... how is he so close with this poor kid?”

”Shut up!” Zhou Lin immediately hushed Hu Ke. At this point, who would dare to call Su Yang a poor kid?

Su Yang had overheard them, but he couldn’t care less about these matters, letting Brother She lead the way to the Supreme Private Room. Naturally, he took Wang Shuya with him. Hee Quan was no good, and Su Yang didn’t want his classmate to be deceived by him.

Only Hu Ke, Zhou Lin, and Hee Quan remained at the scene, looking at each other, their faces the epitome of awkwardness. Finally, Hu Ke spat, ”Wang Shuya, that slut, cozying up to anyone with money. Let’s ignore her; Brother, let’s go watch the match. Hmph, what’s the big deal with this Su guy’s dirty money? He’s just a small-time thug from a little place; my brother could squash him with one hand!”

”Exactly!” Zhou Lin immediately echoed, ”People like him, flaunting their family wealth, how can they compare to Brother Quan? Brother Quan has real personal strength; what’s left for Su Yang besides his family background?”

Hee Quan gave a cold smile, ”So, he’s one of the major shareholders of Hidden Dragon Villa, huh? Well, today, I want to see him cry!”

”Oh?” Hu Ke immediately perked up, ”Brother, are you going to fight him? But I bet this kid’s too scared to step up!”

”Why should I bother fighting him myself!” Hee Quan sneered, ”Have you heard of the Four Great Families of Nanluo City?”

”Sure, I’ve heard of them. What about it?” Zhou Lin asked curiously.

”When I saw Lin Kai a couple of days ago, he mentioned something. This time, the Four Great Families are going to join forces to take down Ling Zi, starting with this Martial Arts Tournament,” Hee Quan said with a cold laugh.

”Really?” Both Hu Ke and Zhou Lin got excited, ”How are they going to do it?”

”They’ve set a trap, having Hidden Dragon Villa open betting for this Martial Arts Tournament. Then, they brought in some experts from out of town to compete. The Four Great Families are spending big money on bets, aiming to drain Ling Zi dry.”

Hee Quan sneered, ”Ding Qiuhuan made a scene at Qingyun Clubhouse last night just to enrage Ling Zi. Today, Ling Zi will probably go head-to-head against the Four Great Families, huh huh, by then, this so-called ’Lord Ling of Nanluo City’ will become history!”

”Is that so?” Hu Ke was thrilled beyond measure, ”That’s great, let’s see how long this damn Su Yang can stay smug.”

”And Wang Shuya, after all the good I did for her, even introducing her to my brother, and this is how she repays me. I’ll make sure she realizes there are some choices in life you just can’t make a mistake with!”

Zhou Lin rubbed his palms together eagerly, ”I better call my dad right away to send me some money. This time, I’m going to make a killing. Oh right, I heard you can even bet cars here, I’ll wager my car later, maybe I could win a dozen more to take home today!”

...

Once Su Yang entered the Supreme Private Room, he finally saw Wang Hao.

Wang Hao was sitting at the competitors’ seats, with only a few people scattered around him, all from Destiny Martial Arts. However, compared to the several people from the Martial Arts Association next to them, Destiny Martial Arts seemed rather pitiable.

Brother She followed Su Yang, explaining the oddsmaking for this Martial Arts Tournament. Hidden Dragon Villa often ran these kinds of underground fights, earning a substantial income each year, making them quite experienced in this.

Su Yang didn’t really understand these things, but after listening for a while, Hu Xiexie couldn’t help saying, ”Some of these odds are a bit too high, aren’t they? Aren’t you afraid someone will pull the rug from under you? If someone bets like ten billion, this fight alone could bankrupt you!”

Brother She laughed, ”Miss Hu’s analysis is correct, but this is Lord Ling’s arrangement. Those contestants with high odds are the ones the Four Great Families have brought in.”

”The Four Great Families indeed want to have a showdown with us; they’ve sneaked in a few fighters to fight, intentionally understating their strength to bump up the odds, trying to pull the rug from under us. But Lord Ling has made preparations too, the Four Great Families won’t have the upper hand!”

”That’s a relief!” Hu Xiexie nodded.

Su Yang remained silent; he didn’t care about the betting odds. What he was more concerned about was when Ding Qiuhuan would show up.

Before long, Ling Zi hurried over. Six people followed him, the leader being a man in his fifties with a dignified appearance. His fingers were slightly curved, resembling eagle claws, as if capable of twisting someone’s neck directly.

”Young Master Su, you’ve arrived!” Ling Zi was quite delighted to see Su Yang, ”Come, let me introduce you. This is Zhao Feipeng, the Sect Leader of Eagle Claw Sect from Beiyang City, the number one master there. In Pingnan Province, he’s definitely among the top ten experts! Master Zhao, this is Young Master Su I told you about.”

”Master Zhao!” Su Yang said with a faint smile.

”Hmm!” Zhao Feipeng snorted coldly, not bothering to greet Su Yang, and sat down on the sofa with legs astride.

Ling Zi felt awkward and quickly changed the subject, ”Young Master Su, I’ve received news that the Four Great Families are playing dirty, trying to set us up. They’ve amassed a large sum of money and have also brought a few experts to fight in the underground boxing, aiming to bankrupt our Qingyun
