"Quiet down, everyone!"

Just then, a loud voice rang out in the area, capturing the attention of all present.

From an upper-level room to the north, more than ten burly men emerged, led by a short and fat middle-aged man—it was Huang Batian!

Upon seeing Huang Batian, everyone knew that the boxing match was about to begin. Although Wan Shaoling and others were keen to tease Ye Feng a bit more, they could only stop at this moment and return to their respective family seats.

When all the families had settled back into their original places, Huang Batian continued with a smile on his face:

"I've invited you all here today to enjoy a grand finale performance! But before that act, there will be some appetizers!"

With that, Huang Batian clapped his hands, and immediately, numerous hostesses came forward, each carrying a tray toward the seats of the major families.

On the trays lay many gambling chips, prepared for the purpose of betting.

"The Four Great Families receive ten million in chips each, and each of the other major families receives five million! These are my gifts to you all, so feel free to bet on the upcoming boxing matches!"

The words of Huang Batian made everyone from the families visibly delighted. They hadn't expected that watching a boxing match would come with free gambling funds.

It was as if a pie had just fallen from the sky!

Right away, the leaders of each family expressed their thanks, and with a wave of his hand, Huang Batian then said:

"Alright! Enough with the idle talk—let the boxing match begin!"

As the words of Huang Batian fell, the screens inside the hall immediately displayed images, showing the stats of two boxers.

The life-and-death platform!

Boxer one: Poison Hand Lin Cong, weight 130KG, record 56 fights, 50 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses!

Boxer two: Zhang Zhan, weight 110KG, record 0!

Odds: Poison Hand Lin Cong 1! Zhang Zhan 10!

Whooosh...

After seeing the data of the two fighters, there was an uproar among the major families.

A record of 0 fights?

No one had expected that one of the fighters would be a novice. It was at this moment that everyone realized the uniqueness of this boxing match!

However, when Ye Feng saw the name Zhang Zhan, his expression changed abruptly, and he suddenly stood up.

He remembered that Zhang Zihan's bodyguard was named Zhang Zhan!

Last time, to protect Ye Feng, Zhang Zhan was injured by Fei Zhong, and in the end, Zhang Zihan had taken him away.

Ye Feng was now uncertain whether the fighter was merely someone with the same name, or indeed the same person!

And just as Ye Feng was caught in his doubts, the DJ in the place began to speak:

"Poison Hand Lin Cong, the Bronze Boxing King of Black Hole Club! The newcomer Zhang Zhan, of unknown origin! Will it be Zhang Zhan's fight to fame or Lin Cong's defense of his honor? Let's welcome the two fighters to the stage!!!"

As the DJ's words ended, a burst of explosive and cool electronic music filled the boxing venue. Two figures slowly emerged and entered an iron cage.

At this moment, many of the major family heirs had already started placing their bets, while Ye Feng just sat in his seat, his gaze as sharp as ever.

He had clearly seen the face of that boxer—it was indeed Zhang Zhan!!!

"Damn it!"

Ye Feng's killing intent soared to the heavens as he finally understood the meaning behind Xiong Si's words. Those people had captured Zhang Zhan and brought him to this place, which meant Zhang Zihan had likely been captured here as well!

With that thought, Ye Feng's gaze fixed intently on the area where Huang Batian and his cohort were located, yet he did not see Xiong Si among them.

Huang Batian also noticed Ye Feng, and a sinister smile crept onto his lips. He pointed his finger toward a nondescript room in a corner.

Ye Feng's gaze instantly shifted to the room, where through the glass window he saw Zhang Zihan tied to a chair with a dark gun pressed against her head.

Xiong Si!

The man holding the gun was indeed Xiong Si!

At this moment, a cruel smile played on Xiong Si's lips. He then took out a cell phone and gestured to Ye Feng with it.

Ye Feng's eyes grew colder. He immediately took out his own phone, and at that moment, his ringtone rang out. Ye Feng swiftly answered the call.

"Are you feeling angry now? Furious?"

Xiong Si's voice, laden with venom and mockery, came through the phone.

Ye Feng did not respond, knowing Xiong Si surely had more to say.

Indeed, seeing Ye Feng remain impassive, a fierce look flashed in Xiong Si's eyes.

"Ye, I'll tell you! You killed my only kin, and I'll make sure you wish you were dead! I know you're tough! But, it's useless. You had better sit tight and watch the boxing match. Otherwise, I'll blow her brains out!"

Hearing Xiong Si's fierce voice on the phone, Ye Feng's palm tightened slowly, the cold glint in his eyes now explosive.

Taking a few deep breaths, Ye Feng suppressed the violent emotions in his heart and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"Tell me, who else is involved in this?"

"What, looking for revenge? Heh heh… Too bad you won't have the chance!"

The sneer on Xiong Si's lips grew thicker, and after glancing at several people in the arena who nodded in his direction, he said:

"Don't worry! You're dead meat today! But we don't want you to die clueless! Let me tell you, Boss Huang, Wan Shaoling, Qi Shaoling, Zhang Shaoling, and Gu Shaoling! All of us are in on it. Are you itching to kill us? Haha..."

With that, Xiong Si burst into wild laughter, then with a flick of the dark gun in his hand, he continued:

"Too bad, the moment you make a wrong move, your sweetheart's head will bloom! Tsk tsk, she's the National Goddess. Can you really bear to see her harmed?"

Xiong Si's words were menacing to the extreme, and as Ye Feng heard this, he turned to look at Wan Shaoling and the other four men.

At that moment, Wan Shaoling and the others also set their phones down, clearly linking their call with Xiong Si's, and they had heard every word of the conversation between Ye Feng and Xiong Si.

Seeing Ye Feng's icy gaze, Wan Shaoling and the others revealed cruel smirks. At this moment, they felt utterly gratified, as if they had avenged all the humiliations they had suffered at the hands of Ye Feng.

Moreover, it was clear that these four had colluded beforehand, as now their actions were in unison, each placing a hand on their neck and then making a throat-slashing gesture toward Ye Feng.

Their provocative intent couldn't have been more blatant!

Ye Feng watched their taunting gestures with an expression still cold and impassive, turning his gaze back to Zhang Zihan inside the window.

Zhang Zihan was dressed properly, apparently, Huang Batian and his people hadn't touched her inappropriately.

But her pretty face was completely wet with tears, her entire being exuding a pitiful charm, looking like a pear blossom bathed in rain. She gazed at Ye Feng, constantly shaking her head and shouting, though her mouth was forming words suggesting that Ye Feng should escape alone.

Looking at Zhang Zihan, who was now sobbing uncontrollably, Ye Feng's heart ached as if it were being wrenched apart.

In that moment, Ye Feng felt every cell in his body come alive, as if they each harbored a savage beast, ready to burst out and devour.

This was the most intense killing intent Ye Feng had felt since he returned to the city!
