Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 470: Chapter 469: Oh, isn’t this Hu Shao?

Heavenly Food Garden.

Chen Benhao and the girl arrived a bit early; by the time they got there, Su Yang was still on the way.

Upon entering the courtyard, the girl’s eyebrows furrowed, and she said sternly, ”Isn’t this Su guy going too far? He invites us for dinner, and we arrive before him. What does this mean?”

”Enough!” Chen Benhao waved his hand dismissively, ”It’s us who arrived earlier than the agreed time. Don’t be so prejudiced against him!”

”What do you mean, ’prejudiced’!” The girl glared at Chen Benhao, ”Speaking of facts here, as the host, he should have arrived here earlier. We, the guests, are here, and he is not, that’s his mistake!”

Chen Benhao was at a loss for words. After their exchange the previous night where she lost to Su Yang, the girl was particularly antagonistic towards him. If it wasn’t for Chen Benhao holding her back, she would have probably gone to settle accounts with Su Yang already.

Even so, throughout the day, she found various things about Su Yang disagreeable. For example, they arrived half an hour early for tonight’s dinner gathering, and Su Yang hadn’t arrived, which irked the girl once again.

Chen Benhao didn’t mind these trivial matters. He knew Su Yang had gone to see off his brothers from Destiny Martial Arts. Moreover, he was somewhat familiar with Destiny Martial Arts and knew that those there were impoverished students with no background.

In Pingnan Province nowadays, influential figures were practically queuing to meet Su Yang. Yet, in these circumstances, Su Yang spent most of his time with his friends from Destiny Martial Arts, which made Chen Benhao respect him even more.

After all, if it were someone else in Su Yang’s position, they would definitely focus on fostering relationships with these influential figures to rise even higher.

But Su Yang instead sidelined these powerful individuals and spent time with poor students with no connections or background, demonstrating how much he valued loyalty and friendship.

This was something that resonated with Chen Benhao’s own character. As a result, Chen Benhao was increasingly treating Su Yang as a friend.

In fact, given Chen Benhao’s personality, he didn’t have many friends. Yet, he felt an immediate kinship with Su Yang and was genuinely willing to make this friendship.

The girl kept muttering on the side, giving Chen Benhao such a headache that he just hoped Su Yang would arrive quickly and make her stop droning on.

Looking out of the window listlessly, Chen Benhao suddenly saw a group of people walking through the courtyard. Among them, he recognized one, Hu Shao, whom he had met back in Beiguan Town.

Chen Benhao had been on a secret inspection to Beiguan Town, aiming to observe the matters concerning the Dragon Head Meeting between the two provinces. Meeting Su Yang had been his greatest gain.

As for Hu Shao, Chen Benhao had people indirectly join his group mainly to conceal his identity. At the beginning, Hu Shao, completely unaware of Chen Benhao’s true status, had even tried to pursue the girl at Chen Benhao’s side. It was only after encountering Ye Wantong that he shifted his target.

Latter at the Dragon Head Meeting final in Beiguan Town, Hu Shao had to leave early due to an urgent matter and didn’t get to bid farewell. Now unexpectedly, they had run into each other at Heavenly Food Garden.

Chen Benhao actually didn’t take Hu Shao seriously at all. He had seen and dealt with too many half-baked second-generation descendants like Hu Shao.

However, seeing Hu Shao now, Chen Benhao suddenly felt like he had found a lifesaver. In any case, he would first stop the girl’s babbling.

”Hey, Hu Shao!” Chen Benhao hurried to the window and waved excitedly, ”Wow, you guys are here too? Long time no see!”

Several people with Hu Shao were also those who had gone to Beiguan Town with him, and among them was Young Master Ding.

The others were young men who appeared even more arrogant, suggesting that their identities were not simple.

Upon seeing Chen Benhao, Hu Shao and the others were taken aback, while the other young men asked, ”Do you know them?”

”Not exactly, just an acquaintance introduced by a friend,” Hu Shao paused, then spoke softly, ”Supposedly he’s the son of some local entrepreneur from a county down below!”

”A county has entrepreneurs?” One of the young men scoffed, ”What a bigshot indeed!”

”Heh...” Hu Shao also sneered, ”He even ran to Beiguan Town to hang out with us. At first, he was clamoring to place bets, but when he saw the starting amount for bets, he immediately became meek and didn’t buy a single ticket. I guess this entrepreneur has a lot of fluff!”

”I’ve seen plenty like him, probably just someone with a bit of clout in some small place and thinking they’re somebody. They come to the provincial capital without knowing their own weight, thinking they can stand on equal footing with scions of noble families,” a young man said coldly, ”Any random dandy in the provincial capital could crush him to death.”

”Hu Shao, you should try to stay away from such small fry in the future,” the leader among the young men said earnestly, ”You’ll be coming to the provincial capital soon. If they start throwing your name around and pretending to be someone, who knows what kind of trouble they’ll bring you later!”

”Young Master Zhou is right!” Hu Shao treated this young man with great respect and quickly laughed, ”I hadn’t even thought about it until Young Master Zhou mentioned it. But don’t worry, I won’t get too involved with such trivial figures.”

”However, the girl with that kid is quite attractive!” Young Master Ding suddenly said.

”How beautiful can she be?” A young man with short hair curled his lip, ”The provincial capital is full of beauties. What kind of beauty could a nobody like him have by his side!”

”She is actually quite beautiful!” Hu Shao said, ”Her looks probably rate nine out of ten, anyway, she’s mismatched with that kid.”

”Nine out of ten, really?” The short-haired young man perked up immediately, ”We should have a look then, come on, let’s have them come over and join us.”

”Old Qi, what are you doing!” Young Master Zhou frowned, ”We’re here to invite Hu Shao for a meal, why call over such riffraff!”

”At dinner, it’s also nice to have a girl liven things up, right?” the short-haired young man laughed, ”Besides, we’re only interested in the girl; we can just kick that kid out soon after!”

”We’re just out for a meal, don’t stir up trouble,” Young Master Zhou said, ”These days are not like the usual.”

”Don’t worry, no trouble,” the short-haired young man chuckled, ”Just wait and see my approach, I’ll definitely make the kid back off and leave on his own. Come on, Hu Shao, Let’s invite them over to sit with us!”

Young Master Zhou did not speak further. The short-haired young man was notoriously lecherous among them, unable to stay still at the sight of a beautiful woman. In this situation, he surely wouldn’t pass up the chance.

As for the others, they didn’t take Chen Benhao seriously, so this matter wasn’t important.

Hu Shao originally didn’t plan to pay attention to Chen Benhao, but with the short-haired young man insisting, he waved to Chen Benhao, motioning for Chen Benhao and his company to come out.
