"Alright, alright, alright. By the way, Shishi, who is this?"
Old Master Lu looked at Xiao Sui, who finally diverted his gaze from the dozens of Ancient Martial disciples in the hall.
It seems You Shi wasnât exaggerating, all of the Ancient Martial Sectâs disciples were robust and muscular, obviously well-trained.
He couldnât help but sympathize with the person who was about to go up on the Life and Death Arena. How lucky must they be to withstand You Shiâs iron fists and brute force?
"Heâs my friend, Xiao Sui, a black... programmer, always admired the flair of Ancient Martial arts, and came specifically to watch me in the arena today."
"Hello."
"Hello everyone!"
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, a disciple came in from outside to report, "Master, the Ye Family has arrived!"
"Alright."
Old Master Luâs expression turned serious, and he firmly instructed the dozens of disciples gathered in the hall, "Prepare to welcome the guests!"
"Yes!!!"
The Ye Family? Why does that sound so familiar? Last time the BOSS asked him to investigate the little sister-in-lawâs identity, he found out about the most prestigious literary family in the Imperial Capital, the âYe Familyâ, but they shouldnât have any connection to the Lu Family, right?
"You Shi."
Xiao Sui quietly tugged at You Shi, "Which Ye Family? Do you know who is coming to challenge today?"
You Shi shook his head, "No idea."
Xiao Sui was astonished by this answer, "You donât know?"
Typical muscle-for-brains, receiving a task without even checking, just rushing in like a king.
You Shi: "Thereâs no need to know. No matter who it is, theyâll either walk in standing or be carried out horizontally."
"Youâre falling back on old habits, forgetting what the BOSS said."
"In recent years, even if there are disputes within the sect, theyâre minor. Itâs no big deal. When I work for the BOSS, I definitely wonât act like this. Besides, I have you, donât I?"
Xiao Sui: "This situation doesnât seem like a minor dispute at all. Your sectâs rules are really outdated. In this day and age, canât you resolve matters through other means? Why resort to the arena?"
"Alright, letâs go."
More than a dozen luxury cars lined up in front of the Lu Mansion, as the Ye Family disembarked, the main gate slowly opened, and Old Master Lu and Lu Cen came out, followed by dozens of energetic Ancient Martial Sect disciples.
"Wow..."
Zhu Shanshan was stunned by the scene as she got out of the car.
She thought today was just going to be a standard arena match, but she didnât expect the Lu Family to pull such a big display, obviously trying to make a statement.
Standing on the steps, dressed in traditional attire and exuding an immortal aura, was clearly the Lu Familyâs patriarch, Old Master Lu. Beside him, a young man with sharp eyebrows and a strong presence, was likely Xianxianâs childhood betrothed, Lu Cen; behind them, a group of broad-shouldered, robust disciples from the sect, whose sheer presence was formidable.
However, the Ye Family was no less memorable with their courteous and naturally graceful demeanor, the extraordinariness of the Ye couple, the distinguished Eldest Young Master Ye, her outstanding heartâs desire, and the charming Shangguan Yunli, along with...
A Maybach gracefully stopped at the end of the lineup, and down stepped an eye-catching pair like a matched pair of precious jade.
The elegantly outstanding President Bo and the stunning beauty Ye Xian.
Zhu Shanshan turned to see this and couldnât help but gasp in admiration once more.
The twilight sky, like softly undulating satin clouds, enshrouded the figures walking hand in hand below. From their looks to their demeanor, they matched perfectly, an impeccable, celestial pairing!
They looked as if they stepped out of a painting, an unparalleled power couple.
Just this one sight allowed her to imagine countless romantic novels!
On the steps, Lu Cen watched Bo Tingshen step out of the car hand in hand with Ye Xian, his hands clenched into fists, his teeth grinding loudly, and a surge of hostility and killing intent shot out from his eyes.
That should have been his wife, standing by his side, not holding hands with someone else in front of him.
Bo Tingshen...
It was his appearance that shattered the dream Lu Cen had meticulously planned.
He wouldnât let him off easily.
Old Master Lu stood on the steps, holding the redwood cane in his hands, as he looked at everyone below, he smiled slightly, "What a grand occasion today, my martial hall has truly been honored."
The Ye family of five, the Bo Groupâs leader, the Imperial Capitalâs richest man, Shangguan Yunli, the son of Shangguan He, and the Zhu familyâs heiress.
Anyone among them could shake the elite circles of the capital, yet they all gathered in front of the Luâs today.
In the past, this would have been a sign of great prestige, but now, it is no longer the same.
Ye Zhuoxuan and Xia Hewan listened to his words, feeling both nostalgic and somewhat guilty.
This should have been a scene where in-laws were meeting, and now...
"Old Master Lu..."
"No need to say more!" Old Master Lu waved his hand, "Since you chose to enter the arena, then we shall say no more of life or death, the grievances will all be resolved! Weâll discuss everything once the results are out."
"How long is this match going to take? Iâm hungry."
"Canât knock them down in five minutes?"
"Come on, since they dared to step onto the arena, they must have some skills..."
"Then just watch, Iâll show you what it means to be the Wall Street Dominator!"
Xiao Sui and You Shi chatted and laughed along the way to the entrance of the Lu Mansion. When they looked outside through the layers of disciples, their gaze fell upon the extraordinarily exulted eight standing at the bottom of the stairs, and their bodies froze simultaneously.
"BOSS!"
You Shiâs eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the particularly striking and noble figure in the crowd.
How could the Boss be here?
"Little sister-in-law?"
Xiao Sui looked at the stunning woman the man held hands with, and the familiar figures around her werenât they the Ye family he had investigated...
So the Ye Family showing up today to challenge the arena really was the BOSSâs father-in-law and mother-in-law?
Xiao Sui and You Shi exchanged glances.
You Shi seemed to realize something, his pupils trembling rapidly within his eye sockets, as though he was about to face calamity.
Xiao Suiâs smirking eyes seemed ready to burst out laughing. With thorough precision of a top hacker, he grabbed a disciple standing next to him, "Is it the Fengting Ye Family competing today? And who is the challenger?"
The disciple bowed, "Indeed, itâs the head of the Bo Group, Bo Tingshen, who came to compete for our Young Madam."
As soon as Bo Tingshenâs name was spoken, You Shi felt like he was struck by lightning, his face turning pale.
Xiao Sui pinched his own thigh desperately to stop himself from bursting into laughter.
Hahahahahahaha!
He patted You Shiâs shoulder heavily; the mighty six-foot-two man couldnât withstand the pat, collapsing against a pillar with legs gone soft, eyes unfocused.
"Five-minute KO!"
"Wall Street frog...I mean, Wall Street Dominator! Itâs all on you now!"
"Time to punch capitalism and kick the boss, the working manâs spirit depends on you!"
