Chapter 427: 0428 King Yan’s Note

A black card shimmered with a dark radiance under the sunlight, bearing only two words.

In Capital City, at the top floor of a giant corporate building, a man in a suit stared at the card in his hands, lost in thought.

"King Yan..."

The man read the only two words on the card, his expression growing solemn.

"When was this card delivered? Where is the person who delivered it?" he asked the man beside him.

"At dawn, the person wore a hat and directly handed the card over downstairs, then vanished," replied the man.

"Did he leave any message?"

"He did. He said something quite enigmatic."

"What was it?"

"Don’t meddle in the affairs between the Kendelger family and Longjia, or King Yan will come knocking on your door."

At those words, the man in the black suit with an Omega watch on his wrist couldn’t help but smile wryly, "I never imagined King Yan’s card would come to me. You truly live up to the name, King Yan. The Kendelger family couldn’t eliminate you, and yet, upon returning to China, you immediately detected who was targeting Longjia."

"Well then, I shall not get involved in this matter. I dare not provoke that god of death," the man sighed and then relayed the message back to the Kendelger family.

At the same time, leaders of major corporations across China made it clear to the Kendelger family about the matter of King Yan’s card.

Some were even willing to resign from the highest leadership positions in their corporations rather than make an enemy of the one behind the card.

That was King Yan’s card!

The infamous King Yan’s card, which hadn’t surfaced for many years, appeared out of the blue today. Those aware of King Yan’s wrathful past, where heads rolled, were scared out of their wits. Executives of corporations everywhere began to feel uneasy, fearing that King Yan would come after them.

Some couldn’t understand the fear, "It’s just a black card, why be so scared?"

A corporate leader snorted and said, "What do you know? Five years ago, no one took this card seriously. But do you know how many people lost their lives because of it?"

"If the highest authorities hadn’t intervened and suppressed the matter, who knows how many more would have been killed by that King Yan."

"Those who receive King Yan’s card are marked by the God of Death. If we, as a corporation, do not heed King Yan’s warning and continue to target Longjia, I’m afraid all of us will die silently, murdered by an unseen hand," said the corporate head, startling everyone around him.

There were also those who insisted, "Isn’t there law and order? In mighty China, how can we allow this person to cause chaos?"

The corporate leader sneered, "What do you understand? This King Yan has a deep background. You’re completely unaware of a secret power in this world, and King Yan happens to be a part of that mysterious force."

Hearing this, many were shocked and curious. Merely a name wielded such deterrence. Who exactly was this King Yan?

...

Thud thud...

Two figures on the arena were engaged in intense combat, pushing the atmosphere to a climax, as they reached a critical stage in their fight.

Behind the arena was a room offering the best view of the battle, inaccessible to those without special status, and today, the light in that room was on.

A wooden table, a few cups of tea.

The fragrance of tea permeated the entire room, and inside, there were only three men: one standing and two sitting.

"Ye Qiu, my brother, you have taken care of all the matters I entrusted to you," the burly man sitting across from Ye Qiu said with a smile.

This bald-headed burly man was none other than Meng Chong, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

"Thank you, Brother Meng, Ye Qiu is deeply grateful," Ye Qiu said.

Meng Chong waved his hand dismissively, "It’s nothing, just delivering some items. I may not have influence all across China, but I do know a lot of people everywhere. Helping my little brother to send a card or pass a message is no big deal."

"But, speaking of which, I know you and Shen’s little lady have quite the connection. Helping her out like this, are you planning on taking her as your little sister?" Meng Chong laughed heartily.

"Brother Meng is jesting. I promised her father, so naturally, I would not allow others to harm her."

"Haha, even heroes have a tough time handling affairs of the heart, and besides, Brother Ye Qiu, you’re still so young. I understand," Meng Chong said with a knowing look, rendering Ye Qiu speechless.

Last night, after leaving the goddess’s villa, Ye Qiu went to the underground fight market to find Meng Chong and ask for a favor, leading to the scene now unfolding.

The two men had become friends through fights and developed a good relationship since then. He was one of Ye Qiu’s few friends.

After cracking a few jokes, Meng Chong cleared his throat, "I used to enjoy drinking, thinking that’s how a martial artist should be, with big bowls of wine and meat. But after the martial arts conference, I’ve realized I should cultivate my character. Otherwise, I’ll be left far behind by you, kid."

"Brother Ye Qiu, for more than a month, you haven’t even returned for the final calculation of merit points and the Ten Owls Rankings. You’ve left me waiting for nothing. I was looking forward to seeing you take first place."

Ye Qiu shook his head slightly, "Brother Meng doesn’t know that I’ve angered the forces behind the beastmen. If it weren’t for my good fortune, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to return to China to have this face-to-face tea with you."

A flicker of emotion crossed Meng Chong’s face, "The underground world’s website is all saying you killed an sss-ranked beastman. Is that true?"

Ye Qiu lifted the teacup, took a light sip, and smiled without saying a word.

After a moment of stunned silence, Meng Chong understood the meaning behind Ye Qiu’s smile and exclaimed "Good!" three times, "It seems I can no longer keep up with Brother Ye Qiu’s pace. An sss-ranked beastman’s strength even surpasses that of a True Qi realm martial artist. I admit I’m no match, and yet you managed to return safely. I can’t help but express my admiration."

"If we were to calculate merit points by killing beastmen, Brother Ye Qiu, you would truly deserve the first place. Others like Huangfu Jun and Luo Tie would have to line up behind you," Meng Chong said joyfully, as if Ye Qiu’s prowess was a feather in his own cap.

"Brother Meng flatters me too much."

Ye Qiu and Meng Chong chatted for most of the day, and even had a sparring session. It was not until the afternoon that Ye Qiu departed.

In Meng Chong’s eyes, Ye Qiu’s potential was boundless. Even he couldn’t predict how far Ye Qiu’s martial path would go, but no doubt, it would be hard for him to catch up.

At this point, Meng Chong turned to Liu Hu, who had been standing by his side without saying a word, and said, "I don’t mind you taking him as your target, but after today, you should choose someone else to surpass. A martial arts genius who has reached the peak of the late True Qi realm before thirty is not someone you can chase. Even I can only look up to him from now on."

Meng Chong’s words hammered into Liu Hu. Liu Hu had risen step by step from the underground fighting market to stand by Meng Chong’s side as a confidant. He didn’t know how much effort and sweat it had cost him, but now that Meng Chong held Ye Qiu in such high regard, Liu Hu’s heart was deeply shaken.

He thought that with a little more effort, he might be able to gain Ye Qiu’s recognition and become his rival. But now, he was coming to the realization that the gap between them was growing wider. The peak of the late True Qi realm was beyond Liu Hu’s understanding of how strong that level could be, but Meng Chong had told him, he was only at the middle stage of the True Qi realm.

When facing Meng Chong, he felt like the distance was insurmountable as if facing a mountain. So how could he confront Ye Qiu, who was at the peak of the late True Qi realm?

Unimaginable!

A look of bitterness crossed Liu Hu’s face. Perhaps it was time to acknowledge his limits, for some people are destined to be only looked up to.
