"Damn you, I'll kill you!"
After a horrible scream, Long Zhixin, clutching his bloody fingers, roared heart-wrenchingly, his calf muscles suddenly powering up, ready to charge at Ning Fan!
Just at that moment, Long Tianze coughed lightly, and Long Zhixin's body shuddered, abruptly halting his movement as he shouted with grievance, "Master Long!"
Long Tianze firmly shook his head.
A look of resentment appeared on Long Zhixin's face, but he still obeyed Long Tianze's command and backed down.
This incident actually made Ning Fan regard Long Tianze with newfound respect; he hadn't expected him to have such great control over his subordinates, to make the severely injured and hot-tempered Long Zhixin stop his vengeful act with just a glance.
That was not something an ordinary leader could achieve.
Long Tianze's eyes had narrowed into slits, his knuckles turning white, and those who knew him understood that this was a sign he was about to explode in rage.
"Don't you know that those who offend me, Long, never have a good ending?"
Long Tianze said seriously, the threat in his words very clear.
Ning Fan looked at Long Tianze's eager subordinates behind him with a mocking smile and said coldly, "You can try if you want, but this is Zhonghai, not Su City. Don't say that I didn't warn you."
After saying this, Ning Fan touched his belly and said with a smile, "I was quite pleased with today's hotpot feast, it's just that there was one big ugly fly buzzing incessantly by my ear, causing irksome distraction."
"I would suggest, if Master Long truly intends to invite me for a meal in the future, make sure it's clean and don't bring any flies with you when you leave home. That's all for today; I'm off."
Ning Fan laughed heartily, turned around with big strides, and left in an incredibly arrogant manner!
"Master Long, let me chase after him and kill that arrogant brat!"
Long Zhixin roared loudly.
Long Tianze turned back and shouted angrily, slamming the Bible down onto the table with a loud smack, and declared, "Do you think you can take him on? Don't think I didn't see everything from the car. Even if Long Yao joined you, you might not be able to take down Ninth Master!"
"Am I just supposed to watch him defecate and urinate on top of Dragon Gate Martial Arts School?"
Long Zhixin's eyes filled with unwillingness.
Long Yao also reminded softly from the side, "Master Long, this lad is sharp and aggressive; indeed, we should teach him a lesson, otherwise, people will look down on Dragon Gate Martial Arts School, thinking we can't accomplish anything once we've left Su City."
"You don't need to tell me, you think I'm unaware?"
Long Tianze frowned deeply and slowly said, "It seems he has made up his mind about this matter. Although I don't mind eliminating Ninth Master, I still have to be cautious. His strength is too formidable, and one mistake could set off a chain reaction!"
Long Tianze watched Ning Fan's retreating figure, his gaze dark and unreadable, as if he was plotting something.
Having left the hotpot restaurant, Ning Fan stood at the side of the street, lit a cigarette, and his face revealed a mocking smile as he shook his head slowly, murmuring, "Long Tianze, do you really see yourself as something special? If it weren't for the sake of the Fang Guild, I would have dealt with you the moment you mentioned targeting Xu Ruolan!"
Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
Ning Fan was a bit surprised; he hadn't expected Xu Xiaoqing to call him at this hour.
"It's so late, shouldn't you be asleep? Don't you have school tomorrow?"
Ning Fan asked with some curiosity.
"Who sleeps at this hour? Only ugly people go to bed early. Gorgeous girls like me stay up all night, of course!"
Xu Xiaoqing's voice on the other end of the phone was brimming with excitement.
Ning Fan furrowed his brow slightly and asked, "Have you been drinking? Where are you now?"
"Stop nagging like an old man. I'm at the Yun Club in the west of the city. Hurry up and come find me. I'll take you to do something interesting!"
After saying that, Xu Xiaoqing hung up the phone.
Turning around, she picked up her glass and exclaimed, "Just wait, I'm about to call an expert to defeat you all!"
Xu Xiaoqing's naïve act provoked laughter from those around her.
The man was tall and slender, dressed in a casual racing suit that looked quite professional. He smiled at Xu Xiaoqing and said, "Xiaoqing, are you for real? Do you actually know some professional racer? I've won the Zhonghai night racing competition's championship three times. If you ride with me, I guarantee you'll coast to victory!"
"Go away, our Xiaoqing is a unique presence among many, how could she be so easily swayed by you, Wang Haitao. Xiaoqing, you should ride with me. Although I can't promise a championship win, I'll definitely make you fall in love with racing!"
A flamboyantly dressed young man, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, laughed as he spoke.
Xu Xiaoqing seemed to have an aversion to him. Upon hearing him speak, she instinctively frowned and said, "No thanks, I'll wait for the person I called to arrive."
"You're dragging your feet - Xiaoqing, that's not right of you. Are you expecting all of us classmates to wait for you alone?"
Zhou Jiangming was also growing displeased. He had invited Xu Xiaoqing, who was too scared to race, to ride in his car multiple times, but had been rejected each time, which had already irked him. Now, hearing that Xu Xiaoqing had already called someone, his irritation increased slightly, suspecting that Xu Xiaoqing might have a boyfriend.
"What, are you waiting for your Prince Charming to come to your rescue?"
Wang Xiaodie also joined in, teasing Xu Xiaoqing with a giggling smile.
Xu Xiaoqing, who was naturally rather reserved, was now in high spirits thanks to the company of her classmates and a few drinks. Hearing their teasing, her eyes flashed before she proclaimed loudly, "That's right, the one coming is my boyfriend, and you all just wait and see. Watch my boyfriend's driving skills defeat you one by one!"
The club's door was pushed open with a loud noise.
Ning Fan frowned slightly at the smoky interior and walked straight to Xu Xiaoqing, saying, "What are you doing? Come back with me. You have school tomorrow."
Wang Xiaodie and Zhou Jiangming were quite enthusiastic to see Ning Fan.
After Ning Fan's astonishing performance in school with his painting and his exceptional piano skills, both had come to regard him with new respect.
Perhaps in the whole Yun Club, only these two and Xu Xiaoqing knew just how terrifying Ning Fan's capabilities really were.
"Look at you, coming here just to whisk away our shining star. Who do you think you are!"
Wang Haitao, already stifling his anger, looked at Ning Fan disdainfully and walked up to him, saying with scorn, "What, you looking for trouble? Don't think that just because Xiaoqing is here, I wouldn't dare to mess with you!"
