Chapter 131: Chen Yang’s Era Is About to Begin

Page 1 of 3

Chen Yang strode toward the entrance of the martial arts academy. Sure enough, the entire entrance was surrounded by such a dense crowd that not even a drop of water could pass through.

Judging by sight, there had to be five or six hundred people. Their presence was overwhelming; anyone timid enough might genuinely have been frightened out of his wits.

The moment Chen Yang appeared at the entrance, a middle-aged man with a thin mustache above his lips—apparently the spokesman for the group—stepped forward and shouted angrily, “Damn it, where’s Brother Meng? Release him at once!”

“Yeah, let Brother Meng go!”

“Let Brother Meng go!”

Xu Tianmeng’s men below were all furious, glaring at Chen Yang as though they wanted to tear him apart.

Chen Yang narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze across the crowd before fixing it on the mustached man. With a cold laugh, he said, “What exactly do you people intend to do? If I refuse to release your Brother Meng, what are you going to do?”

“We’ll flatten this lousy martial arts academy of yours,” the mustached man replied coldly.

“Yeah, we’ll flatten this lousy martial arts academy!”

“Flatten it!”

The crowd roared even more angrily, one voice louder than the next.

“Is that so? You want to flatten my place? Then come on. Today, I’d like to see who dares tear down my academy.” Chen Yang glared at them and shouted, a fierce and chilling aura radiating from his entire body.

The mustached man stared coldly at Chen Yang for three seconds. Then his eyes turned vicious, and he barked, “Go!”

More than five hundred men surged toward the martial arts academy all at once.

Seeing the crowd rush forward, Chen Yang felt some pressure as well. Still, with his strength, he should have no trouble dealing with half of them. There were also ten of his men inside the academy; if they fought with all they had, they could probably handle the other half.

Though the opposing side had numbers, Chen Yang felt no fear. A group without unity was, at most, nothing more than loose sand.

“Have you all gone mad? Let’s see who dares make a move today! Who dares?” Chen Yang clenched his fists and was just about to join the fight when Qin Hu’s voice unexpectedly rang out behind him.

Chen Yang turned and saw Qin Hu walking toward the entrance, one hand clamped around Xu Tianmeng’s throat, his face filled with fury.

When Qin Hu reached the entrance, he shouted, “Let’s see who dares come any closer! If anyone takes even one more step, I’ll strangle Xu Tianmeng to death!”

Xu Tianmeng’s men halted where they stood, each of them staring grimly at Qin Hu.

Qin Hu looked at Xu Tianmeng and threatened loudly, “Hurry up and tell your men to kneel!”

Xu Tianmeng shouted, “Go! Kill them! Don’t worry about me. If I die, avenge me!”

Qin Hu’s brows knitted tightly together. “Xu Tianmeng, you’re asking to die!”

“Go on, all of you! Don’t worry about me! I’m not afraid of death. Attack!” Xu Tianmeng continued to yell.

Qin Hu gritted his teeth angrily. “Xu Tianmeng, you really are courting death.”

Xu Tianmeng let out a cold laugh. “Hmph. I have so many men. Even if every one of them spat once, they could drown you. You’re scared, aren’t you? If you’re scared, beg me for mercy! Go on, beg me!”

Smack!

The instant Xu Tianmeng finished speaking, Chen Yang suddenly drove a fist into the bridge of his nose, then struck the back of his head with his palm. Xu Tianmeng passed out on the spot.

Qin Hu stared in astonishment and turned to Chen Yang. “President Chen, you…”

“If we’re going to fight, then let’s fight. There’s no point wasting our breath.” Chen Yang’s voice was icy.

He then looked at Xu Tianmeng’s men and said, “Your leader has already been knocked unconscious by me. If you want to fight, then fight. Come on.”

The mustached man gritted his teeth. “Go!”

Chen Yang charged straight toward him and swung his fist into the man’s nose, shattering the bridge and sending blood pouring from his nostrils.

Qin Hu fearlessly plunged into the crowd as well. Just as Chen Yang and Qin Hu were deep in the fighting, five commercial vans suddenly came to a stop outside the martial arts academy.

The doors opened simultaneously, and more than thirty men wielding iron rods rushed out and joined the battle.

Coming down with them were Lin Qianyao and a broad-shouldered, stocky man with a crew cut.

Lin Qianyao led the crew-cut man up the steps at the entrance and shouted, “Have all of you gone completely insane?”

The crowd below immediately stopped fighting.

Lin Qianyao continued, “You idiots—do you even know what you’re doing? You dare fight President Chen? Don’t you know that President Chen has set aside one hundred million as security funding? If he wishes, he can immediately hire a team of assassins and wipe every one of you out.”

Xu Tianmeng’s men below exchanged complicated looks.

Lin Qianyao continued coldly, “Look at Xu Tianmeng. He’s already useless. From now on, whoever has money will rule this territory. President Chen is the chairman of Huading Group. You all know how powerful Huading Group is.”

“Are you really stupid enough to fight President Chen for someone who is practically useless?”

Xu Tianmeng’s men fell silent. Though the square was filled with people, it became eerily quiet.

At that moment, Chen Yang walked over to Lin Qianyao and said calmly, “I remember the faces of everyone who attacked first. There are surveillance cameras at the academy as well. Anyone who took part in the fight just now will be dealt with using the one hundred million in security funds.”

“And President Lin was right. Xu Tianmeng is now less useful than a stray dog. From this day forward, I will have the final say in the underworld here. If anyone disagrees, step forward now.”

Xu Tianmeng’s men seemed to have regained their senses. Not one of them took the initiative to cause Chen Yang further trouble.

Lin Qianyao spoke again. “Judging by your silence, you’ve realized the situation. Since none of you wants to keep fighting, get out of here.”

“But what about Brother Meng?” one of Xu Tianmeng’s men suddenly called from the crowd.

“Brother Meng?” Lin Qianyao sneered. “Xu Tianmeng is nothing but a dead dog now. Do you really think he’ll be able to rise again after this?”

“Are you leaving or not?” the broad-shouldered man standing beside Lin Qianyao asked, cracking his knuckles.

Some of Xu Tianmeng’s men turned and left first. Their departure prompted those who were still hesitating to follow. In the end, the entire group gradually dispersed.

Once he saw that Xu Tianmeng’s men had finally gone, Lin Qianyao angrily kicked Xu Tianmeng hard. “That bastard has caused us so much trouble!”

“Let Xu Tianmeng stay at the academy for a month. Once their leader has disappeared for a month, his influence in the underworld will gradually fall apart.” Chen Yang spoke calmly.

Qin Hu quickly replied, “Understood, President Chen.”

With that, Qin Hu dragged Xu Tianmeng inside the martial arts academy.

The moment Qin Hu left, Chen Yang turned to Lin Qianyao and the broad-shouldered man beside him. “President Lin, how did you know something had happened?”

Lin Qianyao hurriedly answered with a respectful expression, “There are a few of my men working at the academy. One of them called to inform me.”

“Who is this?” Chen Yang asked, looking at the crew-cut man beside Lin Qianyao.

Lin Qianyao was just about to introduce him when the man extended his own hand and said with a courteous smile, “My surname is Guan. I’m a friend of President Lin’s.”

Lin Qianyao then said quietly, “Brother Guan runs a security company and has a group of capable men under him. I called him and asked him to come lend us a hand.”

Hearing this, Chen Yang immediately turned to the man surnamed Guan. “Oh, is that so? Thank you, President Guan.”

“It was nothing. I hope that, in the future, President Chen will look after me here in East River City,” Guan Yulei said with a smile.

“As long as you’re my friend, I certainly will.” Chen Yang grinned.

Guan Yulei pressed his palms together respectfully, displaying his reverence for Chen Yang.

“Why don’t we go inside and sit for a while?” Chen Yang said with a smile.

Lin Qianyao quickly nodded. “All right.”

He then turned to Guan Yulei. “Brother Guan, let’s go inside and sit down.”

Guan Yulei nodded with a broad smile. He was quite willing to get acquainted and converse with Chen Yang.

In the blink of an eye, darkness had fallen.

More than three hours had passed since Xu Tianmeng’s men had come to cause trouble.

Yet although only three hours had gone by, Chen Yang’s name had already spread throughout the underworld of East River City.

After all, the conflict between him and Xu Tianmeng had been far too explosive, and everyone in the underworld had been watching closely.

This time, Chen Yang’s forcing back of five hundred of Xu Tianmeng’s men naturally caused his reputation to soar even further. Some underworld bosses had even begun preparing to welcome the dawn of Chen Yang’s rule over East River City’s underworld.
