Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1073: Chapter 1072: Face Will Still Be Given

”How did I give him face?” Su Yang spoke calmly, ”He wanted me to release these people, but he doesn’t show up himself and only sends you to talk to me, which is a sign of disrespect. Given the circumstances, I can’t afford to give him face. If I gave him face, what about my own? Don’t forget, when Zhao Dongming wanted me to release people, he personally made the trip.”

”What’s Zhao Dongming compared to our Brother Wu?” a student shouted, blatantly trying to flatter Wu Feizhi.

Before Su Yang could respond, Xie Kuang slapped the student across the face.

”Shut up!” Xie Kuang roared. Although he didn’t really regard Zhao Dongming highly, such words couldn’t be spoken outright in public. After all, that was the disciple of the Martial Champion, the leader among the youth of Capital City. If these words got out, wouldn’t they be clashing with Zhao Dongming too early?

The senior class was currently a balance between four major forces, and everyone was coexisting peacefully for the time being. No one wanted to make enemies or confront others prematurely, as it would give others the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Xie Kuang’s slap was so powerful that the student was sent flying, fainting on the spot. The others were terrified, shivering, and no one dared to speak again.

Xie Kuang glared at Su Yang angrily. Su Yang’s words were practically a heart-piercing stab.

Zhao Dongming personally made a visit, and Su Yang then released the young masters of Capital City. This time, Wu Feizhi just sent him, and if Su Yang released these people, it would be a blatant disregard for Zhao Dongming. If that happened, Zhao Dongming would also be implicated, which would mean that Wu Feizhi had provoked both men at once, not the outcome Wu Feizhi wanted.

Even though Xie Kuang was feeling angry and unwilling, he eventually had to swallow his pride.

”Su Yang, I’ll only say this once!” Xie Kuang said icily, ”These people are all under Brother Wu!”

”Brother Wu really looks after a wide range!” Su Yang commented, ”Having so many subordinates in the senior class isn’t enough, he’s even taking care of the junior class. There are only about a hundred spots for moving up from the junior to the senior class. By doing this, is Brother Wu suggesting that some of my brothers don’t need to advance to the senior class?”

Xie Kuang’s face grew colder, Su Yang’s words clearly indicated he wouldn’t give them face.

”Fine, you just watch yourself!” Xie Kuang stormed off, leaving with several others in tow.

The people left behind were stupefied. They had thought Xie Kuang would firmly confront Su Yang to the end, but he just threw down a few words and left. With Xie Kuang gone, they were in trouble, as Su Yang would surely not let them go!

”Tell Brother Wu, although he didn’t come, I will still give him some face,” Su Yang said with a smile, ”These people should have left last night, and I was supposed to break their limbs and throw them out. But since they are under Brother Wu, I’ll give some face. If they leave on their own, I won’t break their limbs!”

Xie Kuang didn’t look back and just left.

Su Yang smiled faintly, turning to address those still present, ”What do you all think of my proposal?”

With Xie Kuang gone, the people had lost all their confidence; hearing his words, they nodded hastily, saying with trembling voices, ”We’ll leave right now, we’ll leave right now...”

This time, everyone left with haste. Many didn’t even dare to pack their things completely, just grabbed some valuable items and fled in a panic.

Zhao Jun and the others watched all this, but they looked worried. After everyone had left, Zhao Jun approached Su Yang and said in a low voice, ”Brother Yang, this means we’ve now completely made an enemy of Wu Feizhi!”

”Don’t worry!” Su Yang replied with a light smile, ”He won’t make a move before I enter the senior class.”

Zhao Jun was startled. Why was Su Yang so confident? Logically, after this incident, Wu Feizhi, having lost face, should be coming back for revenge. Why wouldn’t he act until after Su Yang had entered the senior class?

Su Yang walked over to the window, looking outside at the dorm where Wu Feizhi stayed.

He knew that Wu Feizhi was by no means simple. His first move had caught Su Yang somewhat by surprise, but Xie Kuang’s restraint had revealed to Su Yang just how shrewd Wu Feizhi was.

Wu Feizhi made the first move yet showed restraint. What was his purpose? Who was he trying to provoke into acting?

Su Yang looked towards the other two buildings, one inhabited by Ge Kaiyang, the other by Zhao Dongming. As for Lü Donglin, he hadn’t arrived at Qinghe Academy yet, but a few of his subordinates had.

Zhao Dongming definitely wouldn’t be the first to confront Su Yang, so Wu Feizhi’s target must be either Ge Kaiyang or Lü Donglin’s subordinates.

Regardless of his target, Wu Feizhi always intended to use Su Yang as his tool. Like Zhao Dongming, both of them wanted to use Su Yang to weaken the others’ powers.

Of course, Su Yang didn’t mind these machinations and hadn’t even exposed them. Both men wanted to use him, so they had to give something in return. As far as Su Yang was concerned, it was yet to be seen who would end up using whom in the end.

The people on the seventh floor left quickly, and some who weren’t even on the list hurried along too. After all, they had also assisted those on the list in attacking Zhao Jun and his friends and were now afraid they might come back for retribution.

”Brother Yang, everyone has left, what do we do now?” Zhao Jun asked.

”Have all the people on the list left?” Su Yang asked.

Zhao Jun checked the list, ”Not yet, there should be less than a hundred people still here.”

”Then let’s continue,” Su Yang said calmly.

Zhao Jun and the others exchanged glances. After such events, they thought Su Yang might halt their actions. Unexpectedly, Su Yang asked them to keep going. Was he not afraid of further escalating the situation?

However, Zhao Jun didn’t ask any more questions; he had no doubts about Su Yang’s orders.

Under Zhao Jun’s lead, the group set off again to continue clearing out the dorms.

Hu Xiexie, hugging Xiao Huang, stood by Su Yang, her worry evident, ”Su Yang, I’m afraid Wu Feizhi won’t let this go easily, right?”

”It’s not his turn to act yet,” Su Yang replied with a smile.

”It’s not his turn?” Hu Xiexie was taken aback, ”You mean, someone else will act? Who might that be?”

”I too would like to know who will make the next move,” said Su Yang lightly.

Hu Xiexie’s face was full of confusion, and she frowned, ”So, it means someone from the senior class is going to act, right?”

”Yes!” Su Yang nodded.

”Then shouldn’t you follow?” Hu Xiexie asked, ”Zhao Jun and the others are not very strong. If they suffer a setback, it would be troublesome.”
