Chapter 654: Chapter 654: Xiao Yu Is Somewhat Afraid
Ever since Yang Xudong encountered Fang Bai and the others, his life took a series of astonishing turns. First, Fang Bai miraculously healed his serious injuries, then Hattori Shin’yu got heavily injured by the Dragon Maiden, and Robertson, under Fang Bai’s intimidation, was forced to apologize and offer compensation... These were all events beyond Yang Xudong’s imagination, shocking him time and again.
The more he interacted with Fang Bai and his group, the more Yang Xudong felt their aura of mystery. They even made Robertson, backed by the "Statue of Liberty," admit his mistakes and pay compensation. How could ordinary people achieve that?
Although Yang Xudong still hadn’t figured out the true background of Fang Bai and his companions, it gave him comfort to know they were friends, not foes. Moreover, the core figure among them, Fang Bai, was a close friend of Senior Brother Baili. With this connection, he wouldn’t have to worry about his sect’s pursuit once he returned to Huaxia.
"Brother Yang now has twenty or thirty million US Dollars in hand, why not take some out for a bet?"
Fang Bai saw Yang Xudong sitting motionlessly and asked with a smile.
Yang Xudong shook his head, resolutely stating, "No, I have sworn never to gamble again!"
Fang Bai responded, "That’s good!"
A moment later, the Dragon Maiden, Long Da, Long Er, and other Dragon Guard members returned from the betting station, beaming with smiles. They had each bet one million US Dollars on the Japanese boxer to win.
Not long after they took their seats, the betting channel closed, and the boxing match officially began.
As the referee beneath the ring struck the gong, the Caucasian boxer let out a roar like an enraged lion and hurled himself toward his Japanese opponent with a fierce momentum.
The Caucasian boxer, tall and long-limbed, launched a flurry of punch and kick combos upon reaching his Japanese opponent, and the thudding sounds of his strikes could be heard by the audience seated afar.
The Japanese boxer seemed bewildered by his opponent’s rapid assault, parrying left and right, continuously retreating as if he were a small boat amid towering waves, bobbing violently and at risk of capsizing at any moment, appearing quite beleaguered.
Soon, the Japanese boxer was cornered at the edge of the ring, seemingly moments away from being driven off and losing the match.
The majority of the audience, having bet on the Caucasian boxer, erupted in cheers, jumping with joy to see their pick dominating the fight.
A disappointed minority who had bet on the Japanese boxer shook their heads, regretting their choice, as it seemed that he was about to be defeated without mounting a single decent counterattack.
Even Yang Xudong felt that the Dragon Maiden, Long Da, and others had made the wrong bet, considering the situation in the ring. The Japanese boxer seemed to have no chance of winning.
Yet the Dragon Maiden, Long Da, Long Er, and the others smiled confidently, radiating an air of certainty.
"Down you go!"
The Caucasian man, seeing his opponent unable to mount a defense and sensing victory at hand, looked down on him. Abandoning his best boxing techniques, he opted for a beautifully executed flying side kick, intending to knock his opponent out of the ring.
"This boxing match is about to end..."
Fang Bai murmured to himself.
He knew the Japanese boxer had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike back, and the Caucasian boxer’s flying side kick had just presented him with that chance.
Once he launched his counterattack, it would surely be more swift and ferocious than the Caucasian boxer’s previous barrage. The Caucasian boxer wouldn’t last long before being overwhelmed and defeated.
"Xiao Yu, are you scared?"
The Dragon Maiden had been holding Xiao Yu on her lap throughout, not minding her watching the violent bout in the ring.
The Dragon Maiden had already decided that once they returned to Yanjing, she would recruit Xiao Yu into the Dragon Guard. Once part of the Guard, Xiao Yu would have to undergo various rigorous trainings, one of which was to overcome the fear in her heart.
When the Dragon Maiden was Xiao Yu’s age, she too was timid. Later, Long Jingtian took her to watch the Dragon Guard members spar. Over time, as she became accustomed to the sight of combat and even bloodshed, she gradually overcame her fear of fighting.
Later, Dragon Maiden, following the Dragon Guard members on a mission, witnessed many bloody and violent scenes. At first, she felt very discomforted, but over time she became numb and was no longer afraid.
Now Xiao Yu was just like how Dragon Maiden used to be, so Dragon Maiden decided to start mentoring her right away, which was why she brought her to the underground boxing ring to watch.
In response, Yang Xudong did not offer any objections. He could see Dragon Maiden’s affection and indulgence towards her daughter, and he knew Dragon Maiden had her reasons for bringing the child here. As long as his daughter was not harmed, Yang Xudong remained uninvolved.
"Xiao Yu... is a bit scared..."
Xiao Yu sometimes covered her eyes with her hands, reluctant to watch the two men on the stage yelling and fighting furiously; other times, hearing the loud cheers from the audience around, curiosity got the better of her, and she peeked through the gaps between her fingers.
She was struggling with whether to watch or not, feeling very conflicted inside.
"Xiao Yu is not as brave as your big sister when she was younger!"
Knowing that children have a desire to win, Dragon Maiden spoke provocatively, "When big sister was young, watching people fight, she wouldn’t even blink! Even if someone was bleeding, big sister wasn’t scared! Can Xiao Yu do it?"
"Xiao Yu... Xiao Yu..."
Xiao Yu hesitated, for if she said "I can’t," she would not be a brave girl and would let her big sister down; but if she said she could, then she’d have to watch the two men fighting in the ring with her eyes wide open...
After much internal struggle, Xiao Yu clenched her little fists, pink and tender, and declared, "Xiao Yu can do it! Xiao Yu is afraid of nothing!"
With that said, her big eyes stared roundly as she gazed straight at the stage.
"Xiao Yu is so brave! Big sister will watch with you!"
Dragon Maiden patted Xiao Yu’s head and a smile of satisfaction appeared on her lips.
As Fang Bai had predicted, there was a sudden change in the ring.
The Caucasian boxer’s beautiful flying sidekick was launched, which he thought would end the match, but it missed as the Japanese boxer’s figure suddenly disappeared from in front of him.
At the same time, a ghostly, eerie laugh came from behind him.
"No good!"
Hearing the laugh, the Caucasian boxer’s face fell, and as he quickly turned around, his right arm swept through the air, attempting a backhand strike.
His swipe missed once again, and immediately his waist tightened as he was locked in by the two arms of the Japanese boxer.
"Get off me!"
The Caucasian boxer shouted, his right arm bent, elbow aiming to smash the Japanese boxer’s head,
His reaction and movements were fast, but the Japanese boxer was faster. Before the elbow could land, the Japanese boxer deftly maneuvered behind him, locking his legs with his arms, then forcefully pulled back while thrusting his head forward.
"Down you go!"
This time it was the Japanese boxer’s turn to shout loudly.
Amidst the shout, the Caucasian boxer’s towering frame crumbled like a mountain, and with a "bang," fell heavily onto the ring’s floor.
Fortunately, he reacted in time, using his arms to brace against the ground; otherwise, he would have landed on his face, which would have certainly resulted in disfigurement.
