Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 385: Chapter 384: Dare to Say We’re Faking Punches?

Young Master Ding was shouting loudly about staged fighting, yet all the people around him were looking down and to the side, no one echoed his words.

Hu Shao’s face changed drastically, he quickly tugged at Young Master Ding’s clothes, and said in a low voice, ”Shut up!”

”What’s wrong?” Young Master Ding asked anxiously, ”Hu Shao, this is definitely staged fighting, isn’t it? It’s clear this guy was about to lose, how did he suddenly turn it around?”

Hu Shao wanted to say more, but at this moment, several men in black approached with an aggressive air. The man leading them shouted loudly as soon as he arrived, ”Damn it, who said we do staged fighting here? Who dares to stage fights in Fifth Master’s villa? Are they looking for death?”

The eyes of the people around immediately turned to Young Master Ding, and the men in black also looked at him in unison. The burly leader came over and said angrily, ”Was it you who said we stage fights here?”

Young Master Ding got a fright, finally understanding why Hu Shao had told him not to speak. This was Old Zhang’s territory, and Old Zhang was particularly strict with the management here. By crying out about staged fights, wasn’t he asking for trouble?

”No, I...” Young Master Ding tried to explain, but the burly man interrupted him, ”I’m asking you, was it you who said it!”

”I didn’t mean that...” Young Master Ding’s voice trembled.

”What the fuck are you blabbering about!” the burly man exploded: ”Did you say it, or not!”

Seeing everyone around him staring, Young Master Ding knew he couldn’t escape, so he could only say in a low voice, ”Yes... it was me who said it!”

”Good!” the burly man said coldly, ”Go get the footage of this match and then have a professional judge it. If there’s any staged fighting, we’ll investigate and chop up the culprits to feed to dogs.”

”Yes!” The men immediately ran backstage to get the footage.

Scared and shaking, Young Master Ding hadn’t expected his words to cause such a big issue. If there was staged fighting, those involved would be chopped up and fed to dogs. If there wasn’t, what would happen to him?

The burly man then looked at Young Master Ding, saying coldly, ”The fighters who come to our villa to box all sign a life and death agreement beforehand. If we find out that there’s been staged fighting, they’ll all be chopped up and fed to dogs. Fifth Master’s villa has been open for many years, and there has never been a case of staged fighting, nor has anyone dared to slander our place with staged fights. So, you’d better pray that this time no one was involved in staged fighting. Otherwise, hmph!”

Without saying more, the burly man’s expression made it clear he wouldn’t let Young Master Ding off the hook.

Frightened to the point of near collapse, Young Master Ding said with a quivering voice, ”Big brother, I just said it casually...”

”Dammit, when it comes to the reputation and credibility of our villa, you dare to speak recklessly?” the burly man glared at him and said, ”If I say now that your mom cheated and you were born out of an affair, would you be angry?”

Being scolded like that by the burly man, Young Master Ding was also full of anger. However, seeing the fierce and terrifying look of the burly man, he didn’t dare to retort and could only look towards Hu Shao for help.

Hu Shao took a deep breath; at this point, he had no choice but to step in. Otherwise, wouldn’t others think that he couldn’t even protect his own people? That would be embarrassing.

Being embarrassed was one thing, but what was vital was his interest in Ye Wantong. If he lost face in front of Ye Wantong, then he would lose all hope.

”May I know how to address you, big brother?” Hu Shao asked.

The burly man glanced at Hu Shao, and said coldly, ”Shan Xiong, what about it!”

”So it’s Brother Shan Xiong.” Hu Shao smiled and said, ”Do you know Brother Guang?”

”Brother Guang?” Shan Xiong paused, ”You know Brother Guang?”

”I’ve seen him twice,” Hu Shao said with a smile, ”Brother Guang has also practiced at my family’s martial arts school for a few days. Technically, he’s my senior brother!”

”Oh?” The stout man looked surprised, ”Your family runs a martial arts school? Which one is it?”

”Hu Martial Arts School!” Hu Shao declared arrogantly.

”Ah, it’s Hu Martial Arts School!” The stout man immediately broke into a smile, ”You should have said so earlier. Brother Guang often talks about Hu Martial Arts School, saying that Master Hu’s strength ranks within the top twenty in Pingnan Province, without a doubt.”

”That’s my dad!” Hu Shao said proudly.

”So it’s Young Master Hu!” The stout man’s face was full of surprise, ”Aiyah, why didn’t you tell us sooner when Young Master Hu arrived? What’s the fun out here? The real fun is inside!”

Hu Shao was even more pleased, stealing a glance at Ye Wantong beside him. Unfortunately, Ye Wantong still showed no expression, which made Hu Shao rather disappointed.

”I just came in,” Hu Shao laughed, then said in a lower voice, ”By the way, this Young Master Ding is my friend. It’s his first time here, and he’s blunt. If he offended anyone just now, could Brother Xiong smooth things over for us?”

”This...” Shan Xiong appeared troubled.

Hu Shao quickly said, ”I know the rules of Fifth Master, but there’s a saying, ’ignorance is not a sin.’ How about this? I’ll have him apologize to Brother Xiong, and on top of that, I’ll pull out a hundred thousand as a fine. Can Brother Xiong turn a blind eye this time?”

Shan Xiong looked at Hu Shao. The issue wasn’t big, but it wasn’t small either. Considering the face of Hu Martial Arts School, it indeed could be resolved. Hu Shao himself apologizing and giving a hundred thousand also served as a way for him to step down gracefully, so it was fine.

”Alright!” Shan Xiong nodded, ”For the sake of Young Master Hu, we won’t pursue this any further. But please have your friend be cautious; trouble comes from the mouth, understand?”

Hu Shao breathed a sigh of relief and felt even more triumphant. Resolving this matter meant his face was greatly honored.

In the end, the results of the inspection showed, of course, that the two hadn’t thrown a fixed fight. Su Yang’s technique was not something others could see through.

Young Master Ding hung his head in apology and pulled out a hundred thousand, thus resolving the issue.

However, this episode had been a heavy loss for Hu Shao and his group. With Young Master Ding’s apology and the money paid, plus the fifty thousand Hu Shao had bet earlier, they had lost a total of six hundred thousand at once.

Even for them, six hundred thousand was no small sum.

The most crucial point was that throughout the entire incident, Ye Wantong hadn’t even given Young Master Ding a second glance, which left him feeling quite helpless.

At this moment, Su Yang came over joyfully, clasping one hundred and seventy thousand.

”Aiyah, really, I didn’t expect this at all,” Su Yang said with a beaming smile, ”Lucky I bet on the dark horse, otherwise I would’ve been in big trouble!”

Hu Shao and the others had a sullen expression, while Young Master Ding said coldly, ”What’s there to be happy about winning such a small amount of money? That little cash won’t even get you through the doors of the preliminaries, so what are you so proud of?”

”I wasn’t planning on entering the preliminaries!” Su Yang laughed, ”One hundred and seventy thousand isn’t too little, we’re planning to go home now!”

”Ah?” Hu Shao was taken aback. If Su Yang and his group were just going to leave like this, then how was he to strike up a rapport with Ye Wantong?

”Why leave in such a rush!” Hu Shao quickly said with a smile, ”It’s no fun to leave after just one fight. How about I take you to watch the preliminaries? That’s where the real fun is. You can’t leave with any regrets when you come all this way, right?”
