Chapter Six Hundred Fifty-Five: Master Zhang

However, sadly, his feet were simply too slow!

Or rather, it wasn’t that his feet were too slow, but that the other’s were too fast!

No, not just fast, but simply unnatural, not human speed!

He hadn’t even seen the other’s movement, and suddenly, like a ghostly apparition, he appeared right in front of him!

He had just begun to sprint, tapping into his speed, when he felt himself crashing solidly against a figure that had materialized in front of him!

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, the man’s entire body was sent rebounding like a rubber ball.

"Running in such a hurry for what, weren’t you saying you had something good to look out for me?"

With a smirk that wasn’t quite a smile, Xiao Yi looked at the man in front of him, who appeared utterly panicked, flustered, with eyes filled with fear.

"You, what in the world are you!"

The man scrambled to his feet, anxiously staring at the somewhat pale face before him, watching that smiling face, his pupils rapidly constricted with a deep fear that spread from his heart and it took him a long while to articulate a complete sentence.

"Me?"

Xiao Yi, observing the fear on the man’s face, smiled even more brilliantly, pointed at his own nose bridge, then said with a cheerful grin, "You don’t know who I am? You really don’t know?"

"I..."

Watching Xiao Yi’s almost squinting, smiling eyes, hearing his rhetorical question, the man choked up suddenly, realizing he had asked a very foolish question, his face flushing red.

By then, even a fool would know the information he had received previously was completely inadequate, in fact, entirely wrong!

He had been told that the other was merely a student with some modest skills!

In his view, such modest skills meant only a few years of training in martial arts, capable of strutting around as a bully in school, and at best, managing to take on two or three people alone.

He had seen too many of such types and considered them utterly insignificant; handling one was as easy for him as squashing a tomato.

Thus, he had come, spent several days at University Z without any pressure, thinking this was going to be a straightforward task when he first saw the other.

But could this guy be described as someone with just modest skills?

He was more like a terrifying devil!

His strength had, at least, reached that legendary realm he had heard of; it was said that reaching that realm meant truly unlocking the door to the martial path. Yes, the guy in front of him must have already opened that door and entered that realm, for otherwise, he couldn’t possibly possess such power, toppling Plank effortlessly, taking hits from Master Ban without flinching!

His movement technique was also uncannily elusive; he hadn’t even noticed how he had appeared before him!

If he had known earlier that he was dealing with such a fearsome being, he would never have come, and even if he had come, he would never have provoked him in such a foolish manner!

"Tell me, who sent you here?"

Xiao Yi, squinting his eyes, looked at the man before him.

"I..."

The man, looking at Xiao Yi’s eyes almost narrowed to slits, began to appear hesitant on his face.

"I believe you will make a wise choice, right?"

Xiao Yi’s eyes squinted even tighter, his voice very gentle, as though he was speaking not to someone who had just attempted to ambush and attack him, but to a friend, a family member.

"It’s... Master Zhang!"

Although Xiao Yi’s voice was very gentle, seeming entirely harmless, to the man it felt like he had suddenly fallen into an ice cellar, especially seeing those nearly completely shut eyes and the glint of cold light coming through that thin slit, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

His intuition told him that if his answer didn’t satisfy Xiao Yi, his fate would be extremely bleak, and he would face a painful outcome that he very much did not want, possibly even losing his life!

He dared not withhold any information any longer and gave out the answers the other party wanted, entirely and truthfully.

"What kind of person is Master Zhang?"

A satisfied expression appeared on Xiao Yi’s face, he nodded and gestured for him to continue.

"Master Zhang is..."

The man began to speak without any reservations, pouring out everything he knew without holding back.

"Very well, you know the times," Xiao Yi said.

After quietly listening to the man’s story, Xiao Yi nodded, his eyes, which had been squinted all along, finally opened, and the smile on his face that was not quite a smile turned into a truly satisfied one, "Now, you can go, take your companion with you."

As Xiao Yi’s words fell, and seeing the genuine smile on Xiao Yi’s face, the man suddenly felt the suffocating pressure on him vanish. He felt relieved as if a great weight had been lifted off his shoulders. Without daring to say another word, he rushed back to his companion like a man granted a pardon, scooped him up, and ran towards the area ahead filled with people.

"If you don’t want your companion’s hand bones to be permanently shattered, and both hands completely ruined, you’d better find an orthopedic hospital quickly and get him properly treated," Xiao Yi said lightly as he watched the man flee in panic as if afraid he would go back on his word and attack again.

Hearing Xiao Yi’s, the man paused for a moment and then burst forward again, moving even faster than before.

"Master Zhang?"

Watching the two figures fleeing, Xiao Yi’s smile gradually solidified, and his eyes grew colder, "I want to see who this Master Zhang really is."

It seems these coming days will indeed be eventful.

The incident at the soccer field hadn’t been resolved yet, with the mastermind behind the assassination of Chen Jianguo still at large, and now a mysterious Master Zhang had appeared.

During the recent account of this Master Zhang, Xiao Yi had already confirmed that among his adversaries, there was no one named Master Zhang, certainly not like the one described by that man.

Moreover, he hadn’t offended anyone surnamed Zhang recently, except for that one time during a run when he reprimanded a man surnamed Zhang. However, from the description given earlier, it wasn’t the same Zhang, and he didn’t consider that Zhang to be an enemy or opponent at all.

But he believed that what the man had said just now was absolutely true.

Because the man didn’t dare lie in front of him, he didn’t have the courage or the ability!

However, it didn’t matter, for this Master Zhang was traceable!

Soon, he would know exactly who he was!

A faint cold smile appeared on Xiao Yi’s cheeks as he slowly turned around and headed towards a school gate he usually didn’t use much.

...............

Zhengfu Restaurant is a newly opened restaurant, elegantly decorated and rather stylish, though its prices aren’t very high and it isn’t meant to be an upscale restaurant.

Of course, there are very high-end private rooms available for those who need them for high-end banquets.

Thanks to good positioning, an excellent location, and effective marketing and promotional activities at its launch, the restaurant has performed quite well, even though it has only just opened.

The good performance of the restaurant naturally puts the owner in a very good mood.

As the owner of the restaurant, Zhang Fang doesn’t have to hustle like the owners of smaller eateries. He only needs to walk around the restaurant once a day to check on its operations. All other matters, including the finances, are managed by dedicated staff.

Thus, his life is very leisurely.

In fact, continuing to live like this wouldn’t be so bad!

Zhang Fang sat in his usual exclusive leather armchair, swirling a glass of bright red wine, squinting at everything in front of him, comfortably thinking to himself.

Without a doubt, although he hasn’t been in G City for long, this period has been the most comfortable of his life compared to his previous daily grueling training. His current situation, his recent life, truly felt like living a heavenly life!

Every day people waited on him, he held the power of life and death over many, and at night, he could indulge himself completely, enjoying a vibrant nightlife different from his previous monotonous training days, and watching a lot of money come into the accounts every day.
