Chapter 967: Chapter 963: Treachery and Complete Dishonor!

Xiao Tian glanced at Addison Claire beside him, signaling her to follow him, and then got into the car with Sugai Yasuaki.

At this moment, Sugai Yasuaki wiped the dense sweat from his forehead due to relaxation and showed an apologetic smile. But when his gaze noticed the backpack behind Xiao Tian, his expression changed, saying, ”Mr. Xiao, what is this?”

Speaking, he reached out and pointed to Xiao Tian’s backpack, his eyes revealing a peculiar look.

Xiao Tian slightly turned his head and casually explained, ”Originally, I was thinking of taking this opportunity to pick out one or two appropriate outfits and prepare to attend your wedding. But I didn’t expect Sugai Yishu to attack ahead of time.”

This explanation was quite reasonable. Sugai Yasuaki nodded and said with a smile, ”Oh, that’s how it is, Mr. Xiao, I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I’ll take you to my clothing store later, and you can pick any outfit you like, just take it as you please.”

Then, he also said to Addison Claire, ”Your girlfriend is the same.”

After Xiao Tian and Addison Claire thanked him, they heard Sugai Yasuaki ask, ”By the way, you just mentioned that Sugai Yishu made a move on you. Could you tell me the specific situation?”

”Of course!” Xiao Tian readily agreed and went on to simply narrate the events that occurred in the bar to Sugai Yasuaki.

...

After listening to Xiao Tian’s account, Sugai Yasuaki’s expression became somewhat strange as he asked, ”You mean, those five people made simultaneous moves and integrated their powers together?”

”That’s right.” Xiao Tian nodded affirmatively, looking at Sugai Yasuaki’s expression and wondering, ”Is there something wrong?”

Sugai Yasuaki shook his head thoughtfully and explained, ”There’s nothing wrong. It’s just that hearing you say this, I can guess who those five people are.”

”From what you say, are those five people not actually Sugai Yishu’s subordinates?” Xiao Tian accurately captured the anomaly in Sugai Yasuaki’s words and raised a question.

”You’ve met Sugai Yishu before, and you probably have some kind of opinion about him.” Sugai Yasuaki retorted, ”As for the combat abilities of those five, Mr. Xiao, you naturally understand. Do you think Sugai Yishu is capable of winning those five over for his use?”

Xiao Tian instantly understood. This indeed showed he was being careless and mistakenly thought those five were Sugai Yishu’s subordinates.

However, then again, Xiao Tian never really cared about that from the beginning. From the moment they made their move, whether those five were Sugai Yishu’s subordinates wasn’t actually that important!

At that moment, he was only focused on escaping amidst the chaos, not expecting Sugai Yasuaki would arrive so quickly, which was really quite regrettable.

At this point, Sugai Yasuaki mostly understood Sugai Yishu’s plan and that those five were the Shanchuan Five Brothers.

Although he wasn’t sure how Sugai Yishu managed to connect with the Shanchuan Five Brothers, he was certain that the Shanchuan Five Brothers were definitely not yet won over and only temporarily being used by Sugai Yishu!

Finally able to feel completely relieved, Sugai Yasuaki’s mood suddenly brightened, ready to follow through with the previous plan of taking Xiao Tian and Addison Claire to his family’s shop to choose clothes.

”Go to my nearest mall,” Sugai Yasuaki said casually.

The driver in the seat agreed, then restarted the car.

However, just as the car’s engine started up, there was a sharp scream from the nearby crowd, as people retreated backward like they were frightened by something.

Sugai Yasuaki and Xiao Tian exchanged glances, both realizing something was amiss and quickly signaled the driver not to act rashly, then got out of the car one after the other to check the situation.

With things having progressed to this point, Sugai Yasuaki finally came to terms with it. Regardless of what happens to Sugai Yishu today, he’ll definitely be suspected, and it’s quite difficult to clear himself from this association. Rather than that, it’s better to see it for himself and have some understanding.

As the crowd moved back, Sugai Yasuaki and Xiao Tian moved forward. Before long, both knew the reason behind the crowd’s panic and the sharp cries.

Looking at Sugai Yishu lying naked on the ground, with the words ”betrayal and non-integrity” stabbed into his buttocks, both felt a taste that was hard to describe.

While Sugai Yasuaki was feeling complex emotions, he couldn’t help but feel a bit irritated. If something happens to Sugai Yishu before the wedding, he fears it will be hard to have peaceful days...

Meanwhile, the competition between Bai Xiaoxuan and Sun Miaohan in Heartbreak Valley was about to officially begin.

After an urgent consultation by Xu Ming and other high-level members, they decided that purely competing in actual combat was somewhat unfair to Bai Xiaoxuan, and resolved to use a special approach to adjust the competition rules.

As many disciples were starting to grow impatient, Xu Ming lightly tapped her foot on the pavilion floor, her graceful figure in a snow-white dress lifted into the air and gently landed on the arena.

Bai Xiaoxuan and Sun Miaohan are both her disciples, so naturally, there wouldn’t be any question in her making judgments.

After lightly landing, Xu Ming’s pink cherry lips moved twice, and her pleasant voice began spreading to every corner of the venue.

”After our unanimous discussion, we believe the original competition rules and format do not suit the confrontation between Bai Xiaoxuan and Sun Miaohan. Therefore, we have temporarily adjusted the competition method.”

Xu Ming concisely said, ”The revised rules are hereby announced. The competition will still adopt the arena format. The one who falls off the arena will be directly deemed defeated; this basic rule remains unchanged.”

”But the competition will be divided into three projects. Winning two games first will qualify someone as the direct winner.”

This remark left all the disciples present in a daze. An arena competition with three projects?

What kind of arena competition is this?

However, there’s more curiosity about what these three projects mentioned by Xu Ming actually entail.

If the criteria were who is shorter, who is younger, who eats less, who has an entry-level shorter time, then Sun Miaohan would definitely lose without needing to compete.

Of course, such blatant rigging where the audience is treated like fools is surely extremely unlikely to happen.

However, the crowd did reach a certain consensus, believing the rules and method of the match would likely favor Bai Xiaoxuan.

Yet, when Xu Ming revealed the three projects, the spectators couldn’t help but feel surprised.

Moments later, Xu Ming’s clear and melodious voice resonated once again across the scene...

”The three projects in the competition are: strength, speed, and official combat; the first two projects will prepare corresponding tools for the contestants, while the last project has no restrictions, identical to the prior arena matches!”

The voice sounded as though reading from a script, without any personal emotions added.
