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 about 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 from Shanxi, the underground king of northern Shanxi…”
A faint cold smile curled his lips. It seemed Chen Jamin indeed had some power, but on Linjiang’s turf, even if he were the underground emperor of all Shanxi, he’d still have to stay down on all fours!
What caught Xiao Yufan’s attention wasn’t actually Chen Jamin, but rather the four fierce underlings under him: Azure Dragon, Lone Wolf, Phoenix Flame, and Howling Tiger…
The files showed that these four were extremely formidable, especially the one called Azure Dragon, who was even listed among the S-class dangerous individuals. After all, even the leader of the Yuan Gang barely reached S-level danger.
“It seems Xiao Dao and the others are going to have their hands full…”
Besides Azure Dragon, of the remaining three, only Phoenix Flame was a woman, and her strength likely matched that of other members of the Heaven Unit—nothing particularly fearsome. He just couldn’t understand how someone like Chen Jamin managed to gather so many powerful experts.
Meanwhile, as he was studying Chen Jamin and his group, in a secret hideout, Azure Dragon and Lone Wolf were already standing 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; how could he possibly be happy? Having grown up together without parents, that brother was even more precious to him than his own life.
“Just superficial. The legendary Anmen’s strength is exaggerated, nothing but hype. I didn’t see him fight, but there’s no dangerous aura around that man at all!”
Lone Wolf’s eyes showed disdain. Although only observing from afar, he hadn’t sensed any aura of a powerful fighter from Xiao Yufan. For someone like that to have prompted the boss to personally come all the way to Linjiang was clearly an overestimation.
“What about you, Azure Dragon?”
Looking at the calm and steady man before him, Chen Jamin managed a faint smile. Unlike Lone Wolf, this powerful man wasn’t his subordinate, so even when speaking to him, Chen Jamin restrained his usual arrogance.
“He’s dangerous.” The voice was unusually cold. In everyone’s eyes, this man was like a block of ice—someone who didn’t even know how to smile.
“What danger? Don’t scare people for no reason. The boss himself is here; no matter how strong that guy is, he can’t escape his fate!”
“I said, he’s dangerous…”
A chilling coldness burst from his eyes. Azure Dragon hated when others questioned his words. Lone Wolf certainly didn’t have the qualification to do so. Were it not for Chen Jamin’s presence, he was sure Lone Wolf wouldn’t have stood intact before him.
Taking a few steps back, Lone Wolf finally eased the oppressive pressure. They simply weren’t on the same level. His constant defiance toward this man was merely an attempt to assert his own presence, without realizing how much the other already despised him.
“Azure Dragon rarely makes mistakes in judging people. He truly is a dangerous figure. Just the fact that he’s from the Situ family in the capital alone is enough to command anyone’s respect!”
Chen Jamin wasn’t stupid. He roughly knew Xiao Yufan’s background, or else he might not even know how he himself would die. If this man were still in the capital, he wouldn’t dare make any moves at all.
He spoke merely to spare Lone Wolf some embarrassment. Compared to Azure Dragon, Lone Wolf was actually his most reliable card, because the other three had fought alongside him to conquer half of Shanxi.
“His strength is formidable too. At the very least, if I were to fight him, my chances of victory wouldn’t exceed thirty percent!”
Since Chen Jamin had spoken, Azure Dragon naturally didn’t dwell on it. He was an arrogant man. If Chen Jamin hadn’t been able to provide the excitement he craved, he would have left long ago. But even from a mere distant observation, he had sensed Xiao Yufan’s profound strength.
“Thirty percent?”
Clearly surprised, Chen Jamin had never heard this near-mythical man admit to having less than a thirty percent chance of victory against someone else.
“Thirty percent is just a conservative estimate. If we really fought, even if I were seriously injured, he wouldn’t come out unscathed either!”
Xiao Yufan was an expert—that was Azure Dragon’s first evaluation. But he wasn’t someone easily dealt with either. He had his eyes on Xiao Yufan, yearning for a battle with this man. That was simply who he was: Azure Dragon, the martial arts fanatic.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jamin’s expression improved slightly. If even Azure Dragon couldn’t defeat someone, or feared someone, how could he dare to act against him? Unless, of course, Azure Dragon could seriously wound Xiao Yufan—that would be a different matter entirely.
“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 showing this man such courtesy. No one here could bind his freedom—he came and went as he pleased.
“There’s nothing else. We can’t act for the next few days. Let’s wait and see how things develop.”
Chen Jamin understood Azure Dragon’s temperament and thus showed no displeasure. That he had stayed behind to protect him was already a great favor. He couldn’t expect Azure Dragon to be polite to those around him.
“Boss, Azure Dragon is getting more and more out of hand…”
Watching Azure Dragon’s retreating figure, Lone Wolf once again sneered. Why could this man receive the boss’s favor and act so arrogantly? In their eyes, there was only Chen Jamin.
“Shut up. I don’t want to hear any of you badmouthing 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 turning icy. Clearly 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 simply too powerful.
Originally wanting to say more, Lone Wolf wisely shut his mouth, though an involuntary glint of coldness flickered in his eyes. His reputation as Lone Wolf wasn’t just for show…
