Chapter 260: Chapter 261 Gang Leader (Second update)_1

Because Ye Ge had the Blood Flame Stone in his hand, nobody nearby dared to act rashly. They ushered Ye Ge into the hall like this.

Nan Feng glanced around the hall. In the middle was a statue of General Guan Yu, flanked by two fierce Azure Dragons, their teeth particularly prominent. Between the dragons, a tiger skin chair was situated. This chair was likely the gang’s most respected seat, probably the leader’s spot.

After the butler had ushered Ye Ge and Nan Feng inside, he ushered them onto two vacant guest chairs while ordering a servant to pour tea.

Meanwhile, the black-clothed men outside started flooding into the hall. The glint of their large knives filled the room. If Ye Ge or Nan Feng made any kind of movement, they were likely ready to pounce.

However, Ye Ge was clutching the Blood Flame Stone at the moment. If they dared to rush at him, he would smash the stone. Hence, none of them dared act rashly.

This created a tense standoff.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive, reeking of the scent of danger.

Nan Feng glanced at Ye Ge, who sat nonchalantly, sipping his tea, oblivious to the people hovering around him.

Nan Feng also picked up her tea and took a small sip. The tea was scalding hot but exuded a refreshing aroma that tantalised the tongue. She hadn’t had such good tea in a while, so she took another small sip.

She didn’t seem nervous either.

After a while, a young man came into the hall. He was frail, clad in white, and had to be supported by the butler to sit in the gang leader’s spot.

Normally, guests should stand up in courtesy when the host appears but Ye Ge remained seated. Seeing this, Nan Feng also stayed put.

Nan Feng had envisaged the gang leader to be a bulky bruiser—perhaps with a scar, maybe one-eyed, like the leader she knew in her previous life who had a scar on his face and exuded a malevolent charisma.

However, the gang leader before her was not only frail but also slender. His features were delicate and he couldn’t be further from the stereotype of a gang leader in command of hundreds from the Azure Dragon Gang.

The gang leader’s voice was weak, but his speech was polite, with a touch of refined elegance, "I usually retire early and didn’t know we had esteemed guests tonight. I apologize for not being able to greet you."

Ye Ge put down his teacup, saying to the gang leader, "Knowing that you’re indisposed, I wouldn’t have disturbed you at this late hour. However, it’s your people who were disrespectful first, which obliged me to pay a visit and give them a lesson."

Handing the Blood Flame Stone over to the butler, Ye Ge said, "This Blood Flame Stone serves no purpose to me. I took it merely to meet you, so please pardon my offense. Here is your Blood Flame Stone."

The gang leader observed Ye Ge with a hint of surprise, "You gained access to my Azure Dragon Gang with this Blood Flame Stone. Now you’re giving it back to me. Aren’t you afraid we’ll capture you right away?"

"If you wish to sacrifice your men’s life for nothing, then go ahead," Ye Ge said without fear.

The gang leader suddenly laughed, "Bold and courageous. I haven’t met a young man like you in a while."

Actually, that gang leader was only twenty-five or twenty-six.

The gang leader gestured to his subordinates to fall back, then instructed the butler to place the Blood Flame Stone back in its original location. Politeness coated his words as he asked Ye Ge, "May I ask who the esteemed gentleman is?"

Ye Ge replied nonchalantly, "No esteemed gentleman here, just a humble guard from the county government."

"Oh, a government official. How did you know about the Blood Flame Stone on my roof? Have you been investigating me?" The gang leader asked, his question punctuated by a bout of coughing, to which his butler rushed forward to drape a coat around him.
