Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Underground King_1

Thud! Thud!

With two almost inaudible sounds, two tea leaves pierced into the back of Xiong Da and Xiong Er’s heads, and shot out from their foreheads... gone in a flash.

Then, as Xiong Da and Xiong Er were running wildly, their steps suddenly halted, their massive bodies becoming rigid and mechanical.

Hiss—

Blood spurted out like a fountain.

After exchanging a difficult look, the two of them collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Bright red blood spread quickly beneath their bodies.

River City’s underground bosses, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, met their demise!

In their death, they didn’t even have the chance to utter last words!

Hisss—

All the onlookers drew a sharp breath in unison.

Every face was filled with shock and horror.

If some people had not seen clearly when Ning Fan killed Yan Hu by condensing energy, and were unsure whether Ning Fan had used energy condensation to kill or had used hidden weapons or even firearms.

But now, no one dared to doubt anymore.

First catching bullets barehanded, then cleanly killing Xiong Da and Xiong Er with just two tea leaves!

"Picking flowers and plucking leaves can kill! Grandmaster... Grandmaster... This is a Grandmaster! Only a Grandmaster possesses such skills!", Liao Zhenting muttered in shock, staring at Ning Fan, looking utterly distraught.

In the legends among martial artists, reaching the Grandmaster Realm meant that anything, even a flower or blade of grass, could become a deadly weapon in one’s hands. Two soft tea leaves soaked in water were more terrifying than flying knives or bullets!

Now, no one doubted Ning Fan’s Grandmaster status anymore!

"Ning, Ning, Mr. Ning... no, Grandmaster Ning, I was presumptuous, I was wrong, terribly wrong, please don’t hold my rudeness against me!", the old man on the stage could not care about Xu Qingfeng’s orders any longer, bowing deeply to Ning Fan, showing shame and submission.

Then he quickly retreated from the stage.

After clarifying Ning Fan’s Grandmaster status, even if he were lent a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare challenge Ning Fan!

Challenge a Grandmaster? Did he look like he had a death wish?

As for Xu Qingfeng, his face underwent crazy changes at the moment, with shock, fear, reverence, reluctance, and confusion...

But now, he didn’t dare utter another provocative word to Ning Fan.

Even as a member of the Xu Family, he would never dare to challenge a genuine Grandmaster right to his face!

"Ning, Grandmaster Ning... thank you, Grandmaster Ning, for standing up for our River City’s underground world, for slaying Yan Hu of the Divine Tune Sect, and for killing the traitors Xiong Da and Xiong Er of our River City!", a sly underground boss suddenly mustered his courage and loudly brown-nosed.

"Thank you, Grandmaster Ning, for standing up for our River City’s underground world!"

"Yan Hu and Xiong Da and Xiong Er got what they deserved; their deaths are too light a penalty!"

"Grandmaster Ning is mighty!"

Following that, everyone present chimed in.

Baldy Qiang was a bit anxious; he should have been the first to flatter, but now someone had beaten him to it.

Anxious and frustrated, Baldy Qiang suddenly turned to Ning Fan and shouted as loud as he could:

"From now on, Mr. Ning shall be king of the River City underground world!"

There was a moment of silence in the large venue.

Afterwards, the assembled bosses exchanged looks, silently communicating with their glances.

After a brief silence, the bosses all simultaneously erupted into an unprecedentedly loud shout:

"We are willing to serve Mr. Ning as the Underground King!"

"We are willing to serve Mr. Ning as the Underground King!"

"We are willing to serve Mr. Ning as the Underground King!"

For a moment, the bosses were wildly excited.

Their excitement was genuine, as serving a Grandmaster, almost akin to a dragon in heaven, as the king of River City’s underground world, was likely their honor!

These underground bosses were not only in competition within River City’s underworld, but they also faced competition from the underground worlds of other cities outside River City.

If an underground power in one city was too weak, it might even be invaded by forces from another city!

Just like this time, Yan Hu from Divine Tune Sect was in fact a form of invasion!

All the bosses faced Ning Fan, bowing their heads in fealty.

"Underground King? I’m not interested," Ning Fan spoke amid the crowd’s excitement, shaking his head slightly in refusal.

"Ah? Mr. Ning, what would it take for you to agree to be the Underground King?"

"Grandmaster Ning, please state any conditions you might have!"

"Mr. Ning, please take the title of Underground King and lead our River City’s underground world to glory!"

The underground bosses were instantly disappointed, imploring him anxiously.

"Mr. Ning, please agree to our request!"

Baldy Qiang also pleaded with utmost urgency.

"I really have no interest in being an Underground King, but if someone from the Divine Tune Sect comes looking again, you can come to me," Ning Fan said, glancing at Baldy Qiang before adding, "If you can’t find me, find Baldy Qiang, it’s the same thing."

Whoosh!

Ning Fan’s words essentially made Baldy Qiang his spokesman, and all the bosses’ gazes immediately shot towards Baldy Qiang, filled with envy and jealousy, yet also tinged with a hint of fear.

Although Ning Fan himself declined to be the Underground King, the position could belong to no one but him.

And with Baldy Qiang as Ning Fan’s spokesman, one could imagine his status!

While the bosses were envious, jealous, and in awe, Xu Qingfeng kept his head down, remaining silent, his face extremely unpleasant.

The title of Underground King, a title not even the Family Head Xu Guoping had attained, now lay with Ning Fan, someone he had looked down upon; this was pushed onto him by consensus!

How could Xu Qingfeng accept this?
