Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1044: Chapter 1043 Clear in the Heart

At that moment, everyone couldn’t help but regret their decisions. If they had known this would happen, they should have left immediately to avoid stirring up trouble. Now, with this mess, should they still leave Qinghe Academy or not?

The reason everyone came to Qinghe Academy was to enter the advanced class and seize the opportunity to leap over the dragon gate.

Now, Su Yang was forcefully asking them to leave Qinghe Academy, how could they willingly accept this?

But, what could they do about being unwilling? Su Yang’s strength was evident, and whether it was financial power or personal combat power, none of them could contend with him.

Even the advanced class’s Fang Ping and his group had suffered a major loss at Su Yang’s hands; who else would dare to provoke Su Yang?

Moreover, Zhao Dongming stood behind Su Yang. Zhao Dongming had made it very clear that he would fully support Su Yang in tonight’s affair.

That is to say, on the matter of driving these people out of Qinghe Academy, Zhao Dongming was on Su Yang’s side. If these people did not leave Qinghe Academy, Zhao Dongming would even help Su Yang drive them away.

They were already unable to deal with Su Yang alone. Now, with Zhao Dongming added, did the crowd still have a chance to resist?

”Zhao Jun, you and the others, go back and get the surveillance footage, record all the people present at this gymnasium!” Su Yang said, ”If these people have not left Qinghe Academy by 7:30 pm tomorrow, then I will personally send them off!”

Zhao Jun immediately nodded excitedly, ”Alright, leave it to me!”

Su Yang nodded in satisfaction, turned to Zhao Dongming, and smiled faintly, ”Brother Zhao, thank you!”

”It’s all my duty!” Zhao Dongming quickly responded with a smile, and after some pleasantries, they appeared like long-time close friends. In fact, this was their first meeting!

After some time, Zhao Dongming led the people away.

As for Fang Ping and the several injured, they were also taken away by Zhao Dongming. Of course, among these people, a few were severely injured and definitely could not continue to stay at Qinghe Academy; they had to leave school early.

Zhao Dongming didn’t mind this aspect. If Fang Ping didn’t leave Qinghe Academy, he would still be a threat to him. Even if he took over Fang Ping’s people, he might not be able to use them for his own. In contrast, once Fang Ping left Qinghe Academy, he could truly control Fang Ping’s faction.

Zhao Dongming took Fang Ping’s faction and the injured Fang Ping back to where they stayed.

Qin Xiangyi was already waiting there and started to treat Fang Ping and his men right away.

Fang Ping had regained some spirit by now and realized he had completely lost his chance, and understood that Zhao Dongming was waiting for this opportunity to assimilate his people.

What Fang Ping felt now was nothing but regret. Initially, this matter had nothing to do with him; he just wanted to bring down Su Yang and rebuild his own reputation. By doing so, he could attract more followers and strengthen his power.

He never expected Su Yang’s strength to be so formidable, and instead of wining, he suffered a great loss, allowing Zhao Dongming to reap the benefits of the fishermen.

Fang Ping felt incredibly unwilling, but he could only resign himself to fate. After Qin Xiangyi finished bandaging his wounds, he asked Qin Xiangyi to take him to Zhao Dongming’s room first.

Zhao Dongming was meditating with crossed legs when Fang Ping looked at him and coldly said, ”Zhao Dongming, how long have you been waiting outside?”

Zhao Dongming opened his eyes, signaled Qin Xiangyi to leave, and the room was left with just the two of them.

”Since 7:30, I have been waiting outside!” Zhao Dongming replied openly without hiding anything.

Fang Ping’s expression became even colder; he knew Zhao Dongming was waiting to benefit as a fisherman. However, Zhao Dongming’s candid admission still made him very angry.

”Then why didn’t you intervene earlier?” Fang Ping shouted angrily, ”Did you just want to watch me get defeated and then take over my people?”

”Heh...” Zhao Dongming chuckled but didn’t say a word. Were these things even worth mentioning?

Fang Ping took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said sternly, ”Zhao Dongming, I accept my defeat this time. I didn’t expect this Mr. Su to be so strong. But, aren’t your actions a bit too despicable? If you want to take over my people, shouldn’t you at least pay some price? Why didn’t you defeat Su Yang publicly just now, at least to avenge us?”

Zhao Dongming glanced at Fang Ping; he too wanted to defeat Su Yang publicly. However, after clashing with Su Yang, he realized how capable Su Yang was. The possibility of defeating Su Yang was very slim. Thus, he made a quick decision to retreat without further engagement.

Of course, Zhao Dongming would definitely not tell Fang Ping this. He smiled and said, ”I have no grudge against him, why should I defeat him?”

”You want my people to work for you, but you’re not willing to avenge them, how can there be such a good deal!” Fang Ping angrily said.

”I think, you misunderstood me!” Zhao Dongming said with a faint smile, ”I don’t want your people to work for me; rather, we have a partnership. You should know, only the top ten stay in the advanced class each year. If they don’t join me, they will be eliminated sooner or later, unable to make it into the top ten.”

”So they can make it by following you?” Fang Ping coldly countered.

”At least the chances are higher,” Zhao Dongming smiled and said, ”By staying with me, they will have some capital to contend against Lü Donglin, Ge Kaiyang, and Wu Feizhi, and won’t be directly kicked out by these ones. As long as they are not out, they still have a chance, right?”

”Don’t make it sound so nice; aren’t you also wanting to use my people?” Fang Ping coldly said, ”With just the few people by your side, you’re no match for Lü Donglin, Ge Kaiyang, and Wu Feizhi!”

”That’s why I said, we are partners,” Zhao Dongming said, ”Our goal is the top ten in the advanced class. As for other things, they don’t concern us, and we have no obligation to seek revenge for you!”

Fang Ping clenched his teeth in anger. Despite his raging heart and unwillingness, he had to admit, Zhao Dongming was speaking the truth. Their ultimate goal in entering the advanced class was to be in the top ten. Everything else was secondary, which was why they needed to form alliances to enhance their survival chances.

Lü Donglin, Ge Kaiyang, and Wu Feizhi, each had gathered a significant number of followers, forming a powerful force. The faction from Capital City could have also been a strong force, but he didn’t join forces with Zhao Dongming, so his power appeared relatively isolated.

Now, by taking over the people on Fang Ping’s side, Zhao Dongming had greatly strengthened their faction’s resources, now possessing the capital to contend with the three!
