Chapter 145 Entering the Arena
Qiao Hong was dumbfounded at that moment and his face turned pale instantly. With a thud, he collapsed onto the ground and started trembling in fear like a chick.
“It’s fine. The boxing match is about to start, just bring me in,” answered Chu Feng idly as he waved his hands. He couldn’t care less about an insignificant person like Qiao Hong.
“Sure,” replied Ma Sanyuan respectfully and swiftly invited Chu Feng to head to the arena.
The spectators became rowdy in an instant and their cheering resonated across the entire arena.
Who was this young man actually? What background could he have that even the reputable leader of the underworld of Jiangling respected him so greatly?
Could he be someone with influence whom someone had invited over to give some support? Or was he some second-generation ultra-rich kid?
Yun Muyu watched as Chu Feng and the rest of the men slowly departed. She was biting on her lips and she hesitated for a few seconds before shouting out to them, “W-Wait up.”
She trotted toward them and her face was flushed. With a sense of excitement and eagerness, she pleaded, “I-It’s Mr. Chu, right? I would like to go to the arena and watch the boxing match with you guys, are you fine with it? I really love the traditional martial arts and I could not even fall asleep for the past few days because I was so excited to see these famous martial artists compete in this competition. Please, just let me go in with you.”
Chu Feng gazed at her face that looked sincere and frustrated, before shaking his head and letting out a smile. “The traditional martial arts are completely different from those boxing matches you watch on televisions. The traditional martial arts are a means to kill people. Once you enter the ring, it is up to the Heavens to decide if you’ll survive or not. It will be a brutal bloodbath and you might even be traumatized by it. Are you sure you want to go in and watch?”
Most of the girls at her age had a curious mindset. Regardless whether it was chasing after popstars or thirsting for the adrenaline rush, all those passions were just short-lived. Chu Feng just wanted the best for her, that was why he gave her that advice.
Yun Muyu nodded her head firmly as she looked at him with sincerity. “I’m sure, I won’t regret it! Mr. Chu, my father was a soldier and I knew how to ride a horse when I was only four years old. When I was seven, I knew how to fire a gun and I had already gone hunting in the mountains when I was 12. You don’t need to worry about a thing when it comes to psychological trauma.”
Chu Feng thought for a moment and could only nod his head. “Fine, follow me.”
There was a sentiment between soldiers; Chu Feng had a soft spot for another soldier’s children.
Moreover, the resemblance of this girl to Yun Muqing was just uncanny and he could not bring himself to turn her down.
Behind them, Ma Sanyuan and the rest of the men just exchanged gazes and smiled. They had an intrigued and envious look in their eyes. No wonder Mr. Chu did not pay any attention to the girls that night and showed no interest in them at all. Look, even the girl he meets by coincidence is of this beauty standard. Why would he even pay any attention to those average girls? He is indeed a remarkable person and nobody can compare to him!
“Muyu, you-”
Qiao Hong could only watch as the girl of his dreams left with Chu Feng with joy and excitement. He had mixed feelings about it as he admired and envied Chu Feng at the same time. That feeling was just unbearable.
At this moment, the men from the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas slowly surrounded him and every one of them had a serious look on their faces.
“W-What are you guys doing?” Qiao Hong shouted out furiously and the look on his face changed instantly.
Bang! He was answered with a jab to his face and he had a black eye instantly as he grunted in pain.
“What are you guys waiting for? Beat him up!” One of the men clenched his jaw and had a look of discontent as he said sarcastically, “How dare you look for trouble with a person like Mr. Chu? Bah, you’ve overestimated yourself.”
All the men swarmed around him and started beating him up to a pulp. The surrounding on-lookers trembled; those who knew better turned away and turned a blind eye to it to avoid getting themselves into trouble.
Meanwhile, Ma Sanyuan had finally led Chu Feng and Yun Muyu to the inside of the sports arena. It was the venue where some of those powerful men in Jiangbei were going to fight each other.
The place had some privacy; there was only one ring and there were only around 20 chairs surrounding the ring.
Those who could enter were mostly those of influence or those who had close connections with the gangster world and had a high status.
Although Yun Muyu came from a wealthy family, she was still a young girl in her 20’s after all. She had never seen so many gang leaders before and she was instantly suffocated by their imposing demeanor. She hung her head low and even took each breath cautiously.
She took a quick glimpse at Chu Feng who was beside her and he still looked as calm as ever. He strode across the arena confidently and looked like he was in his comfort zone, as if he was taking a stroll in the park.
He did not have any imposing demeanor, but he gave people the impression that he was a sharp-edged sword still kept in its sheath; if someone were to offend him, he would be like a sword that had been drawn out from its sheath and that would spell disaster, as a bloodbath was going to happen.
We’re both in our 20’s, but why do I have the feeling that he is much stronger than me? Yun Muyu’s eyes lit up and she was extremely curious. Who is he really? He is such a mystery.
