Chapter 321 – Business Alliance's Ban Order: Storm Is Coming

Hiss!

The word “trouble” abruptly surfaced in Ye Kuang’s mind, causing him to involuntarily draw a sharp breath.

It could be said that only at this moment did he realize that when a person’s martial prowess reached a certain level, it would not only attract countless troubles but also draw the attention of various factions.

“No wonder… I was wondering why, as soon as those people arrived that day, a team showed up right after. It seems I’ve already entered certain people’s sights. I have to be cautious…” Ye Kuang speculated inwardly.

Pang Hu: “What are you muttering about?”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang seemed somewhat evasive and said, “Nothing much. I just discovered some interesting fellows who’ve noticed my charm, so I have to take them seriously in advance.”

As he spoke, his tone shifted, and he continued, “What I’m afraid of now is that the Seven Kings already know of our existence. We just don’t know how they’ll choose to make their move.”

Upon hearing this, Pang Hu couldn’t help but stare wide-eyed, clearly having to once again update his perception of a certain someone’s shamelessness.

In contrast, Ling Yun, Gao Qing, and Scholar Zheng all frowned deeply, lost in thought.

Ye Kuang, in fact, took note of their changing expressions.

Little did they know, he already had a plan in mind. To ease the concerns of the four, he reassured them, “Actually, there’s no need for everyone to be so tense. The big fish will naturally be dealt with by bigger players, while the small fry we can handle ourselves, right?”

“What do you mean?” Ling Yun couldn’t hide his surprise and doubt upon hearing this, then fixed his gaze intently on a certain someone in the room.

“Exactly as it sounds. It can only be understood, not explained,” Ye Kuang stated coldly and decisively. “You just need to understand one thing: we’re not the only ones who want to deal with them. If they don’t come, fine. If they do, we’ll take them all out in one go.”

Hearing this, Pang Hu immediately became arrogant again, clearly regaining the confidence he had the day before.

Scholar Zheng then spoke up clearly, “I naturally have no doubt in your words. Since this battle is unavoidable, why are we still waiting? Why not muddy the waters thoroughly and fish in troubled waters?”

Ye Kuang: “No rush, not yet. We should first see how the other side lays out their plans. That way, we can gauge whether we’re capable of handling this feast!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes were filled with a dangerous glint.

This expression, when seen by the others, made Pang Hu unable to suppress a shiver running down his spine. He then thought to himself: Sigh, why provoke this calamity-star of all people? Regardless of how things turn out for you, we’ll have to mourn for you in advance for three seconds.

……

……

“…The man singing loudly with wine in hand is a wolf of the north…”

Just then, that familiar tune rang out again, noticeably drawing the attention of all five present.

Ye Kuang casually answered the specialized phone and said, “Hello, who is this?”

“I say, kid, can’t you just stay quiet for a while? What era is this, and you still go provoking the Seven Kings’ Disciples!” As he spoke, the Elder launched into a furious tirade.Ye Kuang couldn’t help but complain upon hearing this: “Hey now, old timer, don’t get it wrong. This is called self-defense, legitimate self-defense, understand? Besides, aren’t we creating opportunities by risking our own safety? Since we’re bound to make a big move sooner or later, why not take this chance to settle everything at once…”

The Elder cut him off: “Enough, enough. Stop with all this nonsense. Just tell me directly – do you have any plan?”

“The big fish naturally need you to keep watch, while occasionally letting a few small fry through for practice…” Ye Kuang said.

But before his words could fully land, his speech was mercilessly interrupted.

“Damn you! Those old bastards are far more than just ‘big fish’! You… I suddenly realize I’ve fallen into your trap.”

After roaring, the Elder didn’t forget to remind him: “And you, kid, you’ve got some nerve! Aren’t you afraid this game might spiral out of control? Even if you end up in deep trouble, we don’t really care. We’re just worried about having to clean up your mess – it’ll be both stinky and dirty…”

“When soldiers approach, we’ll block them; when floodwaters come, we’ll cover them with earth. As long as you can handle the big fish, those small fry won’t trouble you Seniors,” Ye Kuang suddenly said solemnly.

“Good!” But then the voice on the phone suddenly turned grave: “However, the muddy waters have already arrived. I’m just afraid you don’t have enough solid earth to cover them…”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang visibly jolted, then couldn’t help asking with some tension: “They’ve made their move? Can you give me some details…”

“The business world has united to issue a ban against you! And for your safety, we’ve revoked your enrollment qualifications. Grow stronger properly to prepare for that twelve-year agreement. Of course, if you end up dead, don’t blame us for being ruthless.”

“Beep beep beep…”

For a moment, Ye Kuang listened to the lingering dial tone, his entire being falling into profound silence.

After who knows how long, Pang Hu couldn’t conceal his anxiety and suddenly asked: “What’s the word?”

Ye Kuang: “From today onward, we each play our parts.”

“Heh heh…”

“Been waiting for you to say that!”

“It’s about time we made our appearance. The Four Heavenly Kings of Room 405 – no, wait, the Five Heavenly Kings – can finally go out and make some waves.”

Ling Yun: “…”

Ye Kuang: “…”

Surprisingly, before one wave had settled, another was already rising.

Pang Hu suddenly received a phone call – none other than from his father, Pang Tian.

“Dad, what do you need?”

“What do I need? I damn well want to kill you! Of all people to offend, you had to provoke the Seven Kings’ Disciples! Now look what’s happened – all our company’s funding chains have been cut off. How am I supposed to explain this to your deceased mother? What am I supposed to use to support you for the rest of your life!” Pang Tian raged.

Hearing this, Pang Hu seemed suddenly dumbstruck.

Witnessing this, Ye Kuang’s heart also sank.

It could be said he heard every word of Pang Hu and Pang Tian’s conversation.

Seeing Pang Hu’s completely ashen expression, everyone present naturally understood that something major had occurred.

Instantly, they exchanged glances one after another, clearly realizing the severity of the situation.

Ye Kuang scanned the room, then could only explain: “The Seven Kings’ Disciples have begun to move. They’ve united with the business world to issue a ban against us!”

Hearing this, Pang Hu finally understood everything clearly.Gao Qing: “These guys are quite capable, I didn’t expect them to make a move so quickly!”

As he spoke, Gao Qing continued: “But what should we do now?”

Ye Kuang: “…”

It must be said that when it comes to the realm of business, anyone would secretly have a headache.

Let alone martial artists like Ye Kuang and his companions – they clearly didn’t understand what kind of battlefield the commercial sector truly was!

Regarding this, Pang Hu sighed: “There is a solution, which is to sell shares for acquisition, attracting more powerful corporations to invest. Using their influence, we could contain the Seven Kings’ Disciples.”

At this point, Pang Hu couldn’t help but feel troubled again.

Simply because none of them obviously knew any corporation with such influence…
