Supreme Warrior in the City
Chapter 54 He is not a member, but he is a shareholder!

Chapter 54: Chapter 54 He is not a member, but he is a shareholder!

Su Yang stood with his hands behind his back, completely ignoring the ridicule from the crowd as he leisurely observed the scenery outside.

Before long, footsteps could be heard again from outside, and then Ling Zi, leading a group of men, stormed in fiercely.

Having received that message from Su Yang last night, Ling Zi felt rejuvenated. Today, he walked with his chin up and chest out, erasing the gloom of the past few days.

However, when he entered the hall and saw Su Yang standing by the window, his body involuntarily shivered, his legs weakened, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Big brother, big brother..." Manager Wang ran over with a sobbing tone, "It’s this guy, he..."

"Shut your fucking mouth!" Ling Zi slapped Manager Wang across the face, leaving him completely dazed.

Ling Zi didn’t pay him any heed and hurried to Su Yang, bowing deeply, "Young Master Su, you’ve arrived!"

The onlookers who had come to enjoy the spectacle were all stunned in that moment.

Young Master Su?

Ling Zi, the underground overlord of Nanluo City, was actually addressing Su Yang as Young Master Su?

Among those present, there were not a few from powerful families, but even before Ling Zi, they had to bow their heads. This was the largest underground overlord in Nanluo City, with the backing of the Hou Family, the super-powerhouse of the city; he had no need to put others in his eyes.

Even the likes of Zhou Yue and Ding Runze had to be respectful in front of Ling Zi, not daring to display their airs of importance. Ling Zi didn’t need to be courteous to them, because it was their fathers who could gain some face with Ling Zi. As for these younger generations, they simply had no standing!

And now, one ’Young Master Su’ had everyone dumbfounded.

Just how powerful was Su Yang’s background that even a figure like Ling Zi had to treat him with such respect?

Lin Qingru’s eyes widened, her face etched with disbelief. This situation was vastly different from what she had anticipated!

What on earth was going on?

Manager Wang collapsed to the ground with a thud, his entire body deflated.

Su Yang turned his head and glanced at Ling Zi, smiling lightly, "Ling Zi, your Qingyun Clubhouse has quite strict rules, doesn’t it!"

Ling Zi, sensing the chill in Su Yang’s tone, shuddered involuntarily and quickly said, "Young Master Su, I wasn’t aware you were coming; my apologies for not greeting you sooner. This Qingyun Clubhouse does have some rules, but in front of Young Master Su, such rules are not important!"

The crowd’s expression changed once again. Ling Zi was known to be very stringent about rules. But now, he was saying that in front of Su Yang, rules were not important?

"There should still be rules, only they can’t be arbitrarily set!" Su Yang said, "For instance, today’s situation, where clearly these people provoked us first, yet Manager Wang wants to push all the responsibility onto us. Moreover, when I asked him to call for you, not only did he refuse, but he also wanted to kick us out. Ling Zi, are these the kind of rules you set?"

Ling Zi was sweating profusely, cursing Manager Wang’s ancestors in his heart. Are you fucking blind, of all people to offend, you had to provoke such a devil!

"Rest assured, Young Master Su, I will definitely provide you with a satisfactory response regarding this matter."

Ling Zi suddenly turned around and shouted angrily, "Wang Mingkun, you motherfucker explain to me clearly what the hell is going on. Speak the truth to me, and if there’s half a lie, I’ll cut out your tongue!"

Manager Wang had just managed to stand up with difficulty, shakily telling everything that had happened just now. In front of Ling Zi, he dared not utter a single lie, recounting the previous incident without omitting a word.

Ling Zi’s anger escalated as he listened, and as soon as Manager Wang finished speaking, he kicked Manager Wang to the ground and roared, "Damn it, when the hell did I give you such a rule? What the fuck do you think this place is, making up rules on your own, do you think I’m dead?"

Manager Wang trembled and stammered, "Big brother, I... I didn’t know..."

"Don’t tell me what you don’t know. You don’t follow the rules I set but make your own, offending my esteemed guests, you deserve death!" Ling Zi said furiously, waving his hand, "Damn it, drag him away and chop off his hands to feed the dogs!"

"Big brother, big brother..." Manager Wang panicked, "I realize my mistake, I realize my mistake, please spare me, spare me..."

Ling Zi ignored him completely. If he didn’t deal with Manager Wang, he wouldn’t be able to answer to Su Yang. He was very clear about what mattered more.

"Stop!" Just then, Ding Runze suddenly spoke up.

Ling Zi frowned and said in a stern voice, "Ding Runze, this is the Qingyun Clubhouse, it’s not your place to point fingers!"

Ding Runze’s face was ice-cold as he clenched his teeth and said, "Big brother Ling, I’m aware this is the Qingyun Clubhouse, but don’t forget, the Qingyun Clubhouse is in Nanluo City. My Ding Family may not be some special prestigious family in Nanluo City, but we still have some face to uphold."

"As a member of the Qingyun Clubhouse, I was beaten here today. Manager Wang brought people to resolve this matter for me, so I’d like to ask you, what did Manager Wang do wrong that you want to punish him?"

"Big brother Ling, if you want to punish Manager Wang, wouldn’t it imply that me getting beaten today was justified? Big brother Ling, are you insulting me or insulting the Ding Family?"

Everyone was shocked. With just a few sentences, Ding Runze had escalated the matter to involve the entire Ding Family, complicating matters greatly.

Ling Zi wasn’t afraid of Ding Runze, but the Ding Family behind him was a different story. As one of the Four Great Families of Nanluo City, even though they weren’t as formidable as the Hou Family, they were much more deeply rooted and powerful than Ling Zi.

Under normal circumstances, Ling Zi would absolutely not clash with such a behemoth!

However, this wasn’t a normal situation. Su Yang was involved in this affair, making it an extraordinary circumstance!

"Ding Runze, are you using the Ding Family to scare me?" Ling Zi asked coldly in return.

Ding Runze said with a cold voice, "Hmph, who dares to intimidate the underworld leader of Luo City? I just wanted to seek justice for our family, is that not allowed?"

"You want justice, don’t you?" Ling Zi said loudly, "Fine, I’ll give you an explanation. Ding Runze, it’s true that you are a member of my Qingyun Clubhouse, but what about the people you brought? What right do they have to lay hands on a valued guest of my Qingyun Clubhouse?"

"Big brother Ling, there’s no need to threaten me, I know the rules of Qingyun Clubhouse!" Ding Runze shouted, "The people I brought aren’t members, but I invited them. And this Su Yang, he isn’t a member here either."

"According to the rules of Qingyun Clubhouse, the people I brought fighting here is the fault of my people. But he also fought here, doesn’t he share any responsibility?"

"For this incident, why are you only targeting our people and giving him no punishment whatsoever?"

The crowd around them began to cause a commotion. Ding Runze’s rebuttal to Ling Zi on this level was indeed very shrewd.

If Ling Zi forcefully insisted on protecting Su Yang, it would be the same as breaking the Qingyun Clubhouse’s rules, damaging his own reputation too!

"Ding Runze, can you and your people compare to Young Master Su?" Ling Zi sneered, "Indeed, Young Master Su is not a member of my Qingyun Clubhouse, but he is one of the shareholders of my Qingyun Clubhouse!"
