These days, Xiao Yufan had Wang Wei keep a close watch on Chen Jamin and his group. He wasn’t afraid of whatever tricks they might pull, but he was worried this matter might involve his woman…
When Wang Wei laid out the detailed information on Chen Jamin before Xiao Yufan, even Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but admire his capability. To gather all the background so quickly—clearly, he had underestimated Wang Wei’s strength.
“Chen Jamin, originally a coal tycoon, the leader of the Hongxing Gang in Shanxi, the underground king of northern Shanxi…”
In recent days, Xiao Yufan had Wang Wei keep a close eye on Chen Jiamin and his associates. He wasn’t afraid of any tricks they might pull, but he was worried that the situation might affect his woman…
When Wang Wei presented the detailed information about Chen Jiamin to Xiao Yufan, even Xiao Yufan had to admire his capabilities. To gather all the background information so quickly, it seemed he had underestimated Wang Wei’s strength.
“Chen Jiamin, a coal tycoon by origin, the boss of the Hongxing Gang in Shanxi, the underground king of northern Shanxi…”
A cold smile curled on Xiao Yufan’s lips. It seemed Chen Jiamin had some strength, but in the territory of Linjiang, even if he were the underground emperor of all Shanxi, he would have to stay down!
What caught Xiao Yufan’s attention wasn’t Chen Jiamin himself, but his four fierce generals: Qinglong, Gulang, Huofeng, and Xiaohu…
The information indicated that these four individuals were extremely formidable, especially the one named Qinglong, who was listed as an S-level dangerous person. Even the boss of the Yuan Gang was only rated as S-level.
“It seems Xiao Dao and the others will have their hands full…”
Apart from Qinglong, among the other three, only Huofeng was a woman, and her strength was likely on par with the other members of the Tian Group, not particularly intimidating. What puzzled Xiao Yufan was how Chen Jiamin, with his level of strength, managed to gather so many experts.
While he was studying Chen Jiamin and his associates, in a hidden residence, Qinglong and Gulang were already standing before a man—the underground king of northern Shanxi, Chen Jiamin…
“Tell me your thoughts after seeing him once!”
Chen Jiamin’s face was extremely gloomy. His twin brother had been crippled, and he couldn’t possibly be happy about it. Having lost their parents early, he had grown up relying on his brother, who was even more important to him than his own life.
“All bark and no bite. The legendary strength of the Dark Gate is just hype. Although I didn’t see him in action, there was no dangerous aura emanating from this man.”
Gulang’s eyes were filled with disdain. Even though he had only observed from a distance, he didn’t sense any strong presence from Xiao Yufan. It seemed too much of an overestimation for their boss to bring them all the way to Linjiang for such a man.
“Qinglong, what about you…”
Looking at the man as steady as a mountain before him, Chen Jiamin forced a smile. Unlike Gulang, this formidable man was not his subordinate, so even Chen Jiamin had to tone down his arrogance when speaking to him.
“He’s dangerous!” The voice was icy cold. In everyone’s eyes, this man was like a block of ice, someone who didn’t even know how to smile…
“What’s so dangerous? Don’t scare us. The boss has come personally, and no matter how strong that guy is, he can’t escape his fate!”
“I said, he’s dangerous…”
A chilling coldness flashed in Qinglong’s eyes. He didn’t like others questioning his judgment, not even Gulang. If it weren’t for Chen Jiamin’s presence, he believed Gulang wouldn’t be standing unscathed before him.
Taking a few steps back, Gulang finally relieved the pressure from Qinglong’s aura. The two were not on the same level. The reason Gulang constantly challenged this man was merely to assert his own presence, unaware that Qinglong already harbored deep disdain for him…
“Qinglong’s judgment is never wrong. He is indeed a dangerous man. Just the fact that he’s from the Situ family in Beijing is enough to make anyone take him seriously!”
Chen Jiamin wasn’t a fool. He had a rough idea of Xiao Yufan’s background, or he might not even know how he died. If this man were in Beijing, he wouldn’t dare make any moves.
He spoke up to prevent Gulang from feeling too awkward. Compared to Qinglong, Gulang was the most stable ace in his hand, as the other three had fought alongside him to secure half of Shanxi…
“His strength is also formidable. If I were to fight him, my chances of winning wouldn’t exceed thirty percent.”
Since Chen Jiamin had spoken, Qinglong naturally didn’t dwell on it. He was a proud man. If it weren’t for the thrill Chen Jiamin could offer him, he would have left long ago. But just from observing from a distance, he found Xiao Yufan’s strength to be unfathomable!
“Thirty percent?”
Chen Jiamin was clearly shocked. He had never heard this god-like man admit that his chances of winning against someone else were only thirty percent!
“Thirty percent is a conservative estimate. If we really fought, even if I were severely injured, he wouldn’t come out unscathed.”
Xiao Yufan was a master, Qinglong’s first impression of him. But Qinglong wasn’t an easy opponent either. He had set his sights on Xiao Yufan, eager for a battle with this man. That was him—the martial fanatic Qinglong.
Hearing this, Chen Jiamin’s expression softened a bit. If Qinglong couldn’t defeat someone, if even Qinglong feared someone, how could he dare to act against them? But if Qinglong could severely injure Xiao Yufan, that would be a different story…
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. There’s someone here I don’t want to see.”
Qinglong didn’t waste words. If it weren’t for the fact that Chen Jiamin had once saved him, he wouldn’t even need to show this man any respect. No one here could bind his freedom—he came and went as he pleased…
“Nothing else for now. We can’t act these days. Let’s wait and see.”
Chen Jiamin knew Qinglong’s temperament, so he didn’t show any dissatisfaction. Having this man stay to protect him was already a great honor. He didn’t expect Qinglong to be friendly to those around him.
“Boss, Qinglong is getting more and more…”
Watching Qinglong’s retreating figure, Gulang curled his lips again. Why did this man get the boss’s favor and act so arrogantly? In their eyes, only Chen Jiamin mattered.
“Shut up! I don’t want to hear you badmouthing Qinglong behind his back. Remember, his strength is beyond your imagination!”
Before Gulang could finish, Chen Jiamin cut him off, his expression turning cold. He was clearly very dissatisfied with Gulang’s behavior. If Qinglong were truly angered, even he couldn’t protect Gulang, because that man was too strong…
Gulang, who had more to say, wisely closed his mouth, but a cold glint unconsciously flashed in his eyes. After all, the name Gulang wasn’t just for show…
What caught Xiao Yufan’s attention wasn’t actually Chen Jamin, but rather the four fierce lieutenants under him: Azure Dragon, Lone Wolf, Phoenix Flame, and Howling Tiger…
According to the files, the four were extremely formidable, especially Azure Dragon, who was listed as an S-level dangerous individual. It was worth noting that even the leader of the Yuan Gang had only reached S-level.
“It seems Xiao Dao and the others are going to be busy soon…”
Besides Azure Dragon, among the other three, only Phoenix Flame was female, and her strength probably matched that of the other members of the Heaven Division—nothing particularly fearsome. Yet Xiao Yufan couldn’t understand how someone like Chen Jamin had managed to gather so many powerful experts.
Just as he was studying Chen Jamin and his men, in a hidden location, Azure Dragon and Lone Wolf had already stood before a man—Chen Jamin himself, the underground king of northern Shanxi.
“Tell me your impressions after seeing him!”
Chen Jamin’s expression was extremely grim. His twin brother had been crippled, so how could he possibly be happy? Orphaned from a young age, he had grown up relying solely on his younger brother, who was even more precious to him than his own life.
“He’s nothing but a facade. The legendary Anmen’s strength is just exaggerated talk. Although I didn’t see him fight, there was no aura of danger around him!”
Lone Wolf’s gaze was filled with disdain. Although he had only observed from afar, he hadn’t sensed any aura of a powerful individual from Xiao Yufan. For such a man to have forced their leader to personally come to Linjiang, it was clearly an overestimation.
“What about you, Azure Dragon?”
Looking at the calm and steady man before him, Chen Jamin managed a faint smile. He was different from Lone Wolf—this powerful man wasn’t his subordinate, so even when speaking to him, Chen Jamin reined in his usual arrogance.
“He is dangerous!” The voice was unusually cold. In everyone’s eyes, this man was like a block of ice—one who didn’t even know how to smile…
“Dangerous? Don’t exaggerate. Our leader is already here. No matter how strong that guy is, he won’t escape his fate!”
“I said, he is dangerous…”
A piercing chill flashed in his eyes. Azure Dragon disliked others questioning his words, and Lone Wolf certainly didn’t have that privilege. If not for Chen Jamin’s presence, he was sure Lone Wolf wouldn’t have stood before him unscathed.
Taking a few steps back, Lone Wolf finally eased the oppressive pressure. The two were clearly not on the same level. His constant defiance toward this man was merely to assert his own presence, unaware that the man had already grown deeply resentful of him.
“Azure Dragon rarely makes mistakes in judging people. He truly is a dangerous individual. Just the fact that he’s from the Situ family in the capital is enough to command anyone’s respect!”
Chen Jamin wasn’t a fool. He knew roughly who Xiao Yufan was; otherwise, he might not even know how he himself would die. If that man were still in the capital, he wouldn’t dare to make any moves at all.
He had spoken merely to spare Lone Wolf some embarrassment. Compared to Azure Dragon, Lone Wolf was actually his most reliable card, because the other three—besides Azure Dragon—had fought alongside him to conquer half of Shanxi.
“His strength is also formidable—at least, if I were to fight him, my chances of victory wouldn’t exceed thirty percent!”
Since Chen Jamin had already spoken, Azure Dragon naturally didn’t hold a grudge. He was a proud man. If Chen Jamin hadn’t been able to offer him the excitement he sought, he would have left long ago. Yet just from observing Xiao Yufan from afar, he had realized the man’s strength was unfathomable.
“Thirty percent?”
Chen Jamin was clearly shocked. He had never heard this near-godlike man admit to having less than a seventy percent chance of victory against someone else!
“Thirty percent is just a conservative estimate. If we really fought, even if I were to suffer serious injuries, he wouldn’t come out unscathed either!”
Xiao Yufan was an expert—that was Azure Dragon’s first evaluation of him. But he himself wasn’t someone easy to deal with either. He had already set his sights on Xiao Yufan, eager for a battle with this man. That was just who he was: Azure Dragon, the martial arts fanatic.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jamin’s expression finally eased slightly. If even Azure Dragon couldn’t defeat someone, if even Azure Dragon feared him, then what right did he have to make a move? But if Azure Dragon could seriously wound Xiao Yufan, that would be a different story…
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first. There’s someone here I don’t wish to see.”
Azure Dragon wasted no words. If it weren’t for the fact that Chen Jamin had once saved his life, he wouldn’t even bother giving this man face. No one here could bind his freedom—he came and went as he pleased.
“There’s nothing else. We can’t make a move for a few days. Let’s wait and see what happens.”
Chen Jamin understood Azure Dragon’s temperament, so he bore no resentment. The fact that the man had stayed to protect him was already a great favor. He couldn’t expect Azure Dragon to be polite to his subordinates.
“Boss, Azure Dragon is getting more and more arrogant…”
Watching Azure Dragon’s retreating figure, Lone Wolf curled his lips again. Why did this man receive such favor from their leader and act so arrogantly? In their eyes, there was only Chen Jamin.
“Shut up. I don’t want to hear any of you speaking ill of Azure Dragon behind his back. Remember, his strength is beyond your imagination!”
Before Lone Wolf could finish speaking, Chen Jamin cut him off, his expression darkening. He was clearly very displeased with Lone Wolf’s attitude. If he truly provoked Azure Dragon, even he wouldn’t be able to protect Lone Wolf, because that man was just too strong…
Originally wanting to say more, Lone Wolf wisely shut his mouth, but an involuntary glint of coldness flashed in his eyes. His reputation as Lone Wolf wasn’t just talk…
