Chapter 546: Section 333: Local Tyrant Long Fu Enters the Dueling Field

Snowbird Port.

“Have you heard? The Snow Pearl theft back then was orchestrated by the Saber Gang!”

“The arson at the Yin Ge Dress Shop was also the Saber Gang’s doing, and now the victims have taken their complaints to the City Lord’s mansion.”

“The previous City Lord had planned to reduce taxes but was secretly opposed by officials who had been bribed by the Saber Gang.”

“These damned rascals, how many bad things have they done!”

“They’re the termites of Snowbird Port.”

“It’s no surprise that the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps was targeted for assassination before. It must have been their work.”

“If you ask me, there’s not a single good thing about any gang. It would be great if the squad leader of Long Fu could give Teng Donglang a good thrashing!”

“Although I wish that too, the squad leader of Long Fu is only of the Silver Level after all.”

“Even if he loses the fight, I’ll still support him, support the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps! Because he’s the first brave soul who has openly confronted the Saber Gang in these years!”

“That’s right.”

“You’ve spoken the truth!”

Similar comments were continuously made in the streets and alleys of Snowbird Port.

While the Dragon-man youth was secretly cultivating under the pretense of healing, the City Lord of Snowbird Port wasn’t idling either, surreptitiously distributing ample evidence and manipulating public opinion.

For the Saber Gang, the public sentiment in Snowbird Port suddenly turned stormy and harsh.

Ice Eagle, Teng Donglang, and other high-ranking members sensed danger and actively investigated, but could not see immediate results.

The current and former Gang Leaders discussed this matter.

“Could it be Bu Quan’s doing?”

“Before I went to negotiate with the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps, she had publicly boarded the Triangular Love Ship. She must have given Long Fu a lot of evidence.”

“Hadn’t Long Fu already reached a preliminary agreement with us?”

“So, could it be that Bu Quan herself was spreading these rumors and framing us in secret?”

“I’ve said it before, this Snow Elf is trouble; she has been conducting secret investigations against us and collecting our incriminating evidence. We should find a way to get rid of her!”

“I didn’t fail to try, but she’s an alchemy master, affiliated with the Alchemy Guild. Our actions were thwarted back then and met with a severe warning.”

“Talking about this now is meaningless. We can’t make a move against Bu Quan at the moment. The whole Snowbird Port is watching us, and the City Lord also cautioned me recently not to act rashly.”

Mentioning the City Lord of Snowbird Port, Ice Eagle’s face darkened.

“That guy really has a big appetite; we gave up so much to get him to back off and be a wallflower this time.”

“Just endure it; his term is almost over, and he’ll be leaving soon. Overall, he’s been decent, not as hostile to our Saber Gang as the previous one. What he wants most now is to peacefully complete his last days in office without any stains.”

“Let’s just take note of this incident for now. Once the storm blows over, we’ll settle the score with Bu Quan!”

After the discussion, the two Gang Leaders decided to hold their forces.

They made no major moves, and the City Lord of Snowbird Port was happy to wait for the right moment.

On the surface, Snowbird Port was calm, but underneath, strong undercurrents were roiling.

Thus, two days later, the Dragon-man youth suddenly declared his injury healed.

The Saber Gang immediately responded, with the remaining three leaders simultaneously conceding defeat.

The public was excited to learn this news.

Because this meant the duel between the Dragon-man youth and Teng Donglang was imminent.

As a result, upon learning of the Saber Gang’s response, the Dragon-man youth publicly stated that very afternoon: he was willing to duel Teng Donglang as soon as possible.

Teng Donglang immediately proposed, “How about we fight tonight?”

The Saber Gang’s situation was getting worse, and Teng Donglang’s desire to resolve the crisis had become much more urgent.

Upon learning of this proposal, the Dragon-man youth agreed right away.

And just like that, before the masses could even react, the parties involved briskly came to an agreement, making this widely anticipated heroic duel happen much sooner than anyone expected.

The location for the duel was still the Snowbird Duel Arena.

This was the largest dueling field in Snowbird Port, with comprehensive facilities and the capacity to accommodate the most spectators.

The Dragon-man youth came here for the second time.

He found the dueling field completely packed. Not only that, but even the aisles were filled with people.

In fact, many spectators could only crowd outside the venue.

There, a Magic Image was broadcasting the event live.

Such a spectacle for a duel had not been seen in Snowbird Port for over twenty years.

“Go Dragon Lion squad leader, go!”

“Even if you can’t win, at least make it tough for Teng Donglang!”

“Let him taste your Iron Fist, Dragon-man leader.”

As the Dragon-man youth, cloaked in a hooded robe, entered the dueling field, the spectator stands erupted in cheers and shouts.

Even the spectators outside the arena were noisy.

As the local tyrant, Teng Donglang had the support of Saber Gang members. But even with their rallying cries, their momentum paled in comparison to the public support for the Dragon-man youth.

“The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps has only been here a few days, and they’ve already got such momentum. If we let them continue to develop, what space will there be left for our Saber Gang?” Ice Eagle said with a gloomy face in the VIP Observation Room.

At that moment, he felt a huge threat emanating from the Dragon-man youth.

Also in the room were Xiong Ju, Ban Langen, Spring Boxer, and other leaders.

Their gaze was focused on the Dragon-man youth.

When the Dragon-man youth walked to the center of the field and unveiled his hooded robe, a buzzing noise swept through the crowd.

“Look at the gear he’s wearing!” the Human Race leader exclaimed upon seeing the Dragon-man youth in the Magic Image.

The Dragon-man youth was dressed in Silver Level leather armor and boots, and donned Silver Level Protective Arms.

The Kingdom had a Prohibition Armor Order, but it was aimed at Gold Level and higher armor, with Silver Level not included.

These pieces of equipment were not hard to come by.

Like last time, the Dragon-man youth also brought two Silver Level crossbows. They were spoils of war from survivors on Mysterious Monster Island.

More eye-catching than these were the Dragon-man youth’s other equipment.

He wore an Ice Heart circlet on his head, a pair of large ski Windshields over his eyes, an orange-gold nose ring on his nose, and pink metallic earrings in his ears. He had bracelets around his wrists and ankles.

On his chest, he sported a Dragon’s Reverse Scale Badge.

Hanging on his belt was a blue ice pack.

On the back of the Dragon-man youth, there was also a longbow, a pair of Short Spears.

All of this equipment emitted a Gold Level aura.

“More than ten Gold Level items?!” Ice Eagle got up, unable to sit still.

“I… I…” Ban Langen stammered, wanting to curse.

Compared to his previous battle with Xiong Ju, the Dragon-man youth was now fully armed, going from a rough fighter to a wealthy powerhouse overnight. The difference was drastic, exceeding almost everyone’s expectations.
