Chapter 60 – The Mad Lord Attends the Meeting, Pressuring All Present
Ye Kuang had just finished his two-day college entrance exams when he received several calls from unknown numbers, all of which he promptly hung up.
Surprisingly, the caller seemed relentless, repeatedly dialing his number.
Ye Kuang: “Hello, who is this?”
“Heh… It seems the noble forgets easily. Have you already completely forgotten an old friend?”
Hearing this, Ye Kuang couldn’t help but frown.
He then checked the caller ID and was startled to find that these were all out-of-town numbers, which only deepened his confusion.
It must be mentioned that Ye Kuang had always maintained a habit: regardless of whether he knew the caller, he would save their contact information. But this unknown number was clearly calling for the first time.
Moreover, judging by the tone of the other party, it was obvious they meant no good!
Ye Kuang: “Who exactly are you?”
“Tonight at midnight, meet at N City Nightless District. You’ll find out then, won’t you?”
Ye Kuang: “Are you out of your mind? If I go just because you tell me to, wouldn’t that make me look pathetic?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to hang up on this pointless call again.
But who would have thought that the other party’s next words would force Ye Kuang to comply.
And what he hated most was when someone dared to threaten him. Once such a situation arose, he would inevitably nip it in the bud.
It could be said that he was truly angered now.
If the other party had confronted him openly, it would have been one thing, but unfortunately, they had to play this kind of game.
Ye Kuang: “Heh… hehe…”
As his cold laughter faded, he shot forward like an arrow, leaving behind a faint afterimage in his original spot.
N City Nightless District.
It was one of the largest plazas in N City, a place where all sorts of people gathered—from office workers to business elites, and even some entertainment tycoons.
At midnight, the Nightless District remained as brightly lit as ever, like an eternal city that never slept.
With countless people flowing in and out, the sheer liveliness of the place made it incomparable to ordinary entertainment plazas.
When Ye Kuang arrived, he was stunned by the scene before him.
It could be said that this was his first time visiting the Nightless District.
This iconic urban area was one of the ideal habitats in people’s minds and also the most beloved entertainment spot for young men and women.
…I’ve left behind many emotions, the men singing loudly with raised glasses are the wolf tribe of the north…
Ye Kuang: “Where are you?”
“Go straight along the main road. If you see a cafe called Terry’s, just come in…”
After Ye Kuang hung up, his expression turned icy cold.
If anyone had been beside him at that moment, they would have surely felt a bone-chilling aura emanating from his entire body.
It took him a full half hour of searching before he finally found the hidden cafe in a corner.
Ye Kuang paused briefly, then decisively pushed the door open and entered.
The scene before him was starkly different from what he had imagined. Scattered groups of people were chatting and laughing leisurely, seemingly unfazed by his arrival.
“Sir, are you Ye Kuang, Mr. Ye?” Just then, a professional waitress approached and asked politely.
“I am.”
“Please come this way.”
“Alright.”
As he spoke, Ye Kuang followed closely behind, his gaze fixed on the corner ahead where three figures came into view.
To his slight surprise, one of them was actually his former defeated opponent!Xiao Jiang: “It’s been many days since we last met, yet Brother Ye seems quite forgetful. How ironic, I still remember clearly how you ‘took care’ of me that day.”
Ye Kuang: “What do you want?”
Xiao Jiang: “What do you think?”
Hearing this, Ye Kuang immediately shrugged and walked to a coffee table, where he casually brewed himself a cup of coffee and began sipping it.
Not to mention his composed demeanor, just the courage to attend this meeting alone was already beyond ordinary people.
Xiao Jiang responded with a cold laugh: “Quite bold indeed, worthy of being called the Dark Horse.”
Ye Kuang showed no concern for the sarcasm in Xiao Jiang’s words, then similarly sneered: “Now that I’ve finished the coffee, let’s get to business. Why did you seek me out?”
Before Xiao Jiang could respond, someone among them suddenly spoke calmly: “What else could it be? Just wanting to spar with you.”
“Everyone says Dark Horse Ye Kuang surpasses all heroes, but whether the reputation matches reality needs verification,” another person added.
As the two finished speaking, Ye Kuang naturally looked over.
Both men appeared sickly pale, as if suffering from excessive indulgence.
Ye Kuang: “Xiao Jiang, aren’t you going to introduce these two? How petty of you.”
“You…” Xiao Jiang initially wanted to rebuke him, but after reconsidering, he suppressed his anger and snorted: “I must admit, your courage is unlike any I’ve seen in my life. But since you want to die knowing the truth, why shouldn’t I tell you?”
At this point, Xiao Jiang’s gaze gradually turned cold as he introduced them one by one: “These two were the prodigies of last year’s Martial Arts tournament. This is Senior Brother Lei Long, and that is Senior Brother Xiao Chou. Their seeking you out today is actually showing you respect.”
Xiao Jiang’s intention was unmistakable – not only elevating Lei Long and Xiao Chou’s status but also belittling Ye Kuang. By the end, his words became utterly disgusting.
Ye Kuang: “Heh… Then this young master would like to test whether they’re truly as powerful as you claim. To think they ranked in the top five! Impressive! Truly impressive…”
Before he finished speaking, he displayed an exaggerated expression of astonishment.
However, how could the three of them miss the mockery in his words and demeanor?
Lei Long: “The newborn calf fears no tiger indeed. Since you refuse to appreciate our generosity, don’t blame us for being merciless later.”
Xiao Chou: “Hmph, I’ve seen countless arrogant people, but never one as conceited as you.”
Xiao Jiang grew increasingly furious, slapping the table as he stood up: “Why waste words on him? This kid is completely reckless and clueless, thinking he’s invincible just because he won a few matches.”
Ye Kuang was already irritated, and upon hearing their sarcastic remarks, he no longer maintained his superficial smile.
His expression turned cold instantly, unwilling to waste more words with the three before him. He said indifferently: “Then what are we waiting for? You choose the venue. If I feared death, I wouldn’t have come here alone. Honestly, Xiao Jiang, you’re such a failure. And you two – since you’re with Xiao Jiang, I don’t need to guess that you’re all birds of the same feather!”
It could be said that Ye Kuang’s dominant attitude alone was enough to make anyone feel immense pressure.
