The entire underground fighting arena became extremely chaotic. Many unrelated people had already left, as no one wanted to get caught in the crossfire. Judging from Nie Xiaodao’s aggressive demeanor, these people seemed like seasoned gangsters.
Those with sharp eyes could already tell this was the real deal. Every member of Anmen exuded a dangerous aura, far surpassing the mere security personnel of the underground arena. After all, the Tiger Division of Anmen was anything but ordinary.
In just a few minutes, Anmen had completely taken control of the underground fighting arena. Everyone who resisted was already lying on the ground, while the rest remained surprisingly obedient.
Xiao Yufan stood in the middle of the grand hall, seemingly unaffected by the chaos around him. But the man standing opposite was a different story. Watching his men fall one by one, he could do nothing but stand there helplessly.
“Who exactly are you people? The underground fighting arena hasn’t wronged anyone, so why are you being so ruthless?”
The man wasn’t stupid. He naturally understood that Xiao Yufan hadn’t come merely because of Nie Xiaodao. Yet he couldn’t figure out why the underground arena, which had always maintained a superior position in Linjiang, would suddenly face such a threat. Even in the most turbulent times, no one dared to challenge them because they had powerful backers. This time, however, it was clearly aimed directly at the underground arena.
“People from Anmen…”
Xiao Yufan stood up, clapped his hands lightly, and a faint, barely noticeable smile flickered across his lips. Although it had only been a day, Wang Wei had already uncovered the underground arena’s background—it was closely tied to Situ Wenchang, one of the three young northern warlords.
“There’s no feud between Anmen and the underground fighting arena, is there? Besides, Anmen has only just arrived in Linjiang. We couldn’t possibly have any conflicts with you. If this is about Nie Xiaodao, we can apologize…”
The man finally understood why Xiao Yufan was so confident and arrogant. It was because the latter had enough leverage. Throughout Linjiang, no one was unaware of Anmen’s presence. Anmen had practically become the representative of the entire city.
“No need for apologies. The underground fighting arena is doomed anyway. But I’ll spare you—I want someone to deliver a message to your boss: Linjiang is mine, and one day, the entire north will be mine too!”
Without even glancing at the man, Xiao Yufan knew the mission had been accomplished. Judging from Nie Xiaodao’s destructive power, there probably weren’t more than ten fighters left standing in the entire underground arena.
As Xiao Yufan walked away, the man merely opened his mouth but said nothing. It seemed Xiao Yufan already knew the boss. The underground arena’s downfall was only the beginning. He even felt fortunate to have survived.
Just as he was lost in thought, another scream pierced the air. Lei Yan, who had been lying still moments ago, was now clutching his crotch, his face twisted with fear. He had only been pretending to be unconscious, but he hadn’t expected Xiao Yufan to step straight over him as he left.
As Xiao Yufan emerged, the members of Anmen erupted into cheers, as if welcoming a victorious king. To them, attacking the underground arena was merely a training exercise.
“Let some of the Tiger Division stay here. Remove anyone who still resists, and keep those who can fight. See if they’re willing to join Anmen!”
Xiao Yufan gave his orders as he walked out. The underground arena had many capable fighters. It was understandable why the previous black-market forces in Linjiang had been reluctant to provoke them. But now that Anmen had made its move, they had to completely eliminate their foundation.
“Got it! Leave this to me. My Killing Division still doesn’t have any members…”
Nie Xiaodao was visibly excited. Watching the Tiger Division show their might had stirred his enthusiasm. The Killing Division only had one member so far—he was eager to build it up so he could stand by Xiao Yufan’s side with enough strength.
“That’s your problem. I’m not interested in dealing with it.”
Yawning lazily, Xiao Yufan showed no enthusiasm. What occupied his mind now was that he had finally gone head-to-head with Situ Wenchang. He was running out of patience after being secretly sabotaged by that guy multiple times—he wanted to eliminate him as soon as possible.
Tian Yi wasn’t surprised by Xiao Yufan’s attitude. He simply smiled and shook his head. That was just how the Young Master was—detached from such matters. It was left to people like him to handle the aftermath and countless other tasks.
Walking out of the underground arena alone, Xiao Yufan’s phone suddenly rang…
“Brother Fan, Qiao Chuxi wants to meet you again. She mentioned something about Qiao Group. Do you have time now? If not, I can turn her down for you!”
Qingluan’s voice was gentle, yet carried an unmistakable weariness. Although Lin Pingle helped her with the affairs of Hualong Enterprise, things were still in disarray. Unlike Yu Yihan, who possessed strong management skills, she had to handle many things step by step.
“I’ll head back now. Please entertain her for me first!”
Xiao Yufan knew Qiao Chuxi must have something important to discuss. If he didn’t show up, who knew what might happen? Although his first impression of the woman hadn’t been particularly positive, she was ultimately not an unpleasant person.
Putting down the phone, Xiao Yufan headed directly toward Hualong Enterprise. If he wasn’t mistaken, Qiao Chuxi had made up her mind. If she had done her research, she would know that Hualong Enterprise was now thriving, and behind its success stood the Situ family.
Returning to Hualong Enterprise once again, Qiao Chuxi felt a different kind of energy. She trusted her grandfather’s decision. If Qiao Group wanted long-term development, aligning with Hualong Enterprise was a wise move.
“Miss Qiao, please have some tea first. Brother Fan will be back shortly…”
Qingluan entered with a cup of tea in her hand. Normally, this would be a secretary’s job, but her doing it personally showed how much respect she had for this woman—a woman worth billions, who indeed had the capital to command such respect.
“Are you that playboy’s girlfriend? It seems like you two are quite close…”
Qiao Chuxi smiled warmly. She knew Qingluan was also a high-ranking official in Hualong Enterprise, and her gesture was already a sign of respect. Naturally, she wouldn’t act condescendingly—she was a wise woman after all. Even she herself didn’t understand why she cared so much about Qingluan’s relationship with that man…
