The engine roared like a great dragon, its cry shaking the entire night sky.

Inside the Apollo IE sports car speeding down the street, Luo Xiu made a call to Wu Tianhua.

"General Luo? When did you get back?!"

"Just now. Hua Zi, I need to ask you something."

"Anything, General Luo!"

"Where's Boss Huang?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end before Wu Tianhua's voice came through. "He's drinking at Yuehuang Entertainment City. Feng Zi and I are here, too."

"I'll be right over," Luo Xiu said.

"When will you arrive? Feng Zi and I will come out to meet you."

"…"

「Outside Yuehuang Entertainment City.」

Luo Xiu had barely parked his car when a chorus of exclamations erupted around him, and all eyes turned in his direction. The stylishly dressed and attractive young men and women all pulled out their phones and frantically started taking pictures.

Of course, they weren't photographing Luo Xiu but the sports car behind him. Because he had used the Mist Barrier Art, no one recognized him as the Martial Champion.

"Hey handsome, add me on WeChat!"

"Handsome, do you have a reservation? I booked a private room. You should come hang out. I have lots of girlfriends."

"Hey, can you give me a ride home? I'd love a ride in your car."

A number of pretty girls who considered themselves quite attractive took the initiative to approach Luo Xiu, asking for his WeChat in pursuit of a life of happiness.

Luo Xiu didn't bother playing it cool. At his core, he simply wasn't a standoffish person. For a moment, he felt like an emperor entering his harem. However, he had no real interest in women who frequented the nightlife scene.

After a few perfunctory replies, Luo Xiu strode confidently toward the entrance. Gazing at the building before him, lit up like a palace against the night sky, he couldn't help but think of Xu Qianqing, who was so far away. He remembered that the first time he had come here was to discuss business with her.

I wonder how Qianqing is doing now.

As he was lost in thought, two familiar faces appeared before him. It was the two brothers, Wu Tianhua and Ling Feng.

"General Luo, you…" Wu Tianhua looked at Luo Xiu with a complex expression, hesitating.

He knew Luo Xiu and Boss Huang had a major falling out. He was also aware that Boss Huang had been causing trouble for the Shen Luo Company recently. Thus, he could guess why Luo Xiu was here tonight.

"General Luo, he has a lot of skilled fighters with him tonight, and both Cao Hong's master and Zhu Hongmo are there… You need to be careful," Wu Tianhua advised in a low voice.

Ling Feng then added, "We didn't tell him you were coming."

Luo Xiu nodded gently.

"He's in Private Room Number Five on the third floor," Ling Feng said.

Luo Xiu smiled. "Thanks. We should go fishing together sometime."

Watching Luo Xiu's retreating back as he went upstairs, the two brothers were filled with helplessness. On one hand was their boss, but on the other was the benefactor who had given them a new lease on life. The brothers were truly torn.

Ling Feng asked, "Hua Zi, whose side should we be on?"

"Do we even need to ask?" Wu Tianhua said flatly. "By not telling Boss Huang that General Luo was coming, we've already picked his side."

He gazed deeply at Ling Feng. "Remember what we vowed when we were lying in the hospital? That from now on, we would toil for General Luo like beasts of burden."

Ling Feng nodded.

Wu Tianhua smiled. "Besides, with General Luo's strength, he doesn't really need us. So, let's just pretend we don't know anything about this."

"That's true."

「On the third floor of Yuehuang Entertainment City.」

Private Room Number Five.

When Luo Xiu pushed the door open, he instantly saw several familiar faces: Boss Huang, Qian Laoyao, Zhu Hongmo, and Boss Huang's three main henchmen—Xiong Zi, Skinny Monkey, and Purple Mink.

Zhou Jingong was there as well.

When Zhou Jingong saw Luo Xiu, he was slightly taken aback but then nodded in greeting.

At this moment, Boss Huang was incredibly drunk. He was hugging an online celebrity wearing a black silk miniskirt, his chubby face aggressively nuzzling and biting at her neck like a pig rooting through cabbage, completely unaware that Luo Xiu had arrived.

"Turn the music off," Luo Xiu said, glancing at a bodyguard.

The bodyguard's eyes turned cold. "Kid, who are you looking for? Do you know this is…"

BOOM!

Before he could finish, the bodyguard inexplicably flew backward, crashing hard into the speakers hanging from the ceiling. After a piercing buzz, the music died, and the entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared at Luo Xiu in shock.

"What the hell is going on?!" Boss Huang, whose fun had been interrupted, roared as he stood up, ready to lose his temper. But the next moment, when he saw Luo Xiu, his obese body stiffened.

"Luo… Luo Xiu?"

Luo Xiu walked up calmly, his gaze resting on Boss Huang's face. "Ah Huang, I heard you've been quite arrogant lately."

Hearing this, Boss Huang froze for a second before cracking a smile. He sank back onto the sofa, pulling the online celebrity closer.

"Long time no see, Xiao Luo. I thought now that you're the Martial Champion, you wouldn't recognize me, your big brother, anymore. When did you get back?"

"Just now," Luo Xiu said.

Boss Huang took the drink the online celebrity handed him, crossed his legs, and looked at Luo Xiu with a mocking gaze.

"You must know what's been going on. So, are you here to cause trouble for your big brother?"

Luo Xiu stared at him and said coolly, "The last time I was at your house for drinks, I believe I warned you… that the next time we met, I would slaughter you."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the private room burst into laughter.

The online celebrity in Boss Huang's arms looked at Luo Xiu with disdain. "Boss Huang, who is this kid? He's just standing there like a complete idiot, and he has the gall to say he'll slaughter you."

"You should just have someone throw him out," she pouted. "Seeing him is ruining my mood, and I still want to drink with you."

Boss Huang watched Luo Xiu with a pitying look and chuckled. "Xiao Luo, it seems you picked a bad time to come tonight. Both Old Master Zhou and Old Master Zhu are here. Why don't you all catch up?"

He didn't know the current state of the relationship between Zhou Jingong and Luo Xiu, so he felt confident. In his mind, with Zhou Jingong's power, even facing a Martial Champion like Luo Xiu would be effortless. After all, what was a Martial Champion? Just a standout among the younger generation of martial artists. How could he compare to a senior like Zhou Jingong?

"I know you're quite powerful, but in front of these two old masters, I doubt you can make any waves."

"Since you're already here, you might as well stay," Boss Huang said.

With that, he looked toward the silent Zhou Jingong beside him. He stood up and said respectfully, "Old Master Zhou, don't you have a grudge against this kid?

"It just so happens he's delivered himself to our doorstep. Perhaps you… would like to take this opportunity to avenge your disciple?

"If it's inconvenient for you, we can just cripple him first. We'll take care of the dirty work afterward."
