"Ah this must be Miss Lyca Huang?" Patriarch Long couldn't help but beam at the sight of the woman wearing black leather pants and a white tank top. Her long white hair was tied behind her back in a simple ponytail, not an ounce of make up could be seen on the woman's face. He nodded in approval. Completely casual yet still beautiful. It seems that his initial thoughts to offer an engagent was the right choice after all. He imdiately stood and held his hands towards Lyca.
"Patriarch Long this is indeed my daughter." Huang Sheng Hong was the one who accepted Patriarch Long's hand, shaking it and letting go just before the patriarch could react. What did that action an?
Seeing her father act like this, only made Lyca smile. She didn't miss the way her father would glare at Shen Qui every ti they were together or how his expression changed every ti Lyca would talk about Shen Qui. Of course, this was quite understandable. Huang Sheng Hong watched his daughter grow up before his very eyes. Seeing her grow her wings like this was creating so tension inside her father's heart.
The fact that soone thought of her like this made her smile, it sent a warm feeling inside her chest. "Mr. Long" Lyca didn't spare Long Yi a glance. "I am Lyca Huang I am very pleased to et you." She eyed the surprise in Huang Li Duo and Huang Ying's face. After all, she was finally talking like a normal being this ti. Lyca continued. "Since Mr. Long already invited other people to watch as we showcase our strength, why don't we let Shen Qui fight those three people? Not at the sa ti of course." She bead.
Her direct words made Patriarch long raise an eyebrow. Shen Qui, was not even as strong as the other one nad Li Xian. However, that Li Xian was inside the university right now. He intentionally created this challenge to avoid Li Xian coming in here. aning, his victory was already assured.
In his eyes, the people inside the Huang Security were nothing but a stepping stone to his dream to unite the whole Shun Region! He even specifically invited the leaders of the other cities in the region just to let them know his intention of becoming the leader of the whole region. "You want one man to fight three of my n?" He asked, unsure if he heard her words correctly. Was this little woman underestimating them?
"Yes. Three minutes per fight. Three minutes break. The rules are simple. The one who surrenders first, will lose."
"Lyca" Old Man Huang couldn't help but speak up. He knew that Shen Qui was weaker than Li Xian however, he was still considered a top fighter. When fighting one of the three people who transfered to the Long Company, Shen Qui might have a chance of winning. But fighting against three was a difficult feat.
What was Lyca planning? Huang Li Duo couldn't help but look at his younger brother Huang Sheng Hong. Lyca's father didn't show any tinge of worry or sign that he will stop her.
"Younger brother Sheng Hong" Huang Li Duo uttered. He might be arrogant and hated this niece of his but Huang Li Duo was a mber of the Huang Family through and through. He would not want to embarrass his own family mbers in front of so many people. "What is she doing?" he gritted his teeth.
"Brother are you worried about my daughter?" A hint of amusent laced Huang Sheng Hong's voice.
"I am worried about Shen Qui! Idiot!" Huang Li Duo hissed. "Shen Qui is one of our Elites! What do you think will happen if he gets injured."
"Since Shen Qui volunteered then it only ans that he is confident in his skills." Huang Ying chid in, elegantly sipping her tea while staring at Lyca's proud appearance. Of course, she didn't care if Shen Qui lost or got injured. He was just another pawn in her ga. After all, she was already considered a mber of the Zhang Family who was an ally of the Long Family and soone from the Huang Family. aning, whoever claid victory today would be inconsequential for her. After all, she would be the one who would benefit the most.
"Are you trying to underestimate my people young lady?" Patriarch Long uttered. He didn't hide the hint of anger in his voice. "Shen Qui cannot fight all of them." He said. If he let Shen Qui fight the three of them, winning the fight wouldn't even showcase the skills that his people have. It would defeat the purpose of showing off!
"Patriarch Long is talking about strength and refuses to let the Huang Family showcase their own strength. I was thinking that Patriarch Long was doing this for the whole Long City." She smirked, her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear. "It seems that Patriarch Long was doing this for his own Long family."
"You" The woman's sharp tongue surprised him. He wasn't aware that speaking directly was Lyca's way of closing the deal, finishing the conversation in the shortest way possible so she could eat and rest.
The sound of the intercom ringing inside the Old Man's office interrupted his words. Old Man Huang's secretary imdiately answered the phone and looked at them. "The people from the Dong Family, Xie and Liu Family just arrived. Are we going to let them in?" The Secretary respectfully asked.
"Oh! It seems that they are finally here." Lyca said. "Shen Qui change your clothes. It is ti to fight." Lyca sent a provoking glance at Patriarch Long. This man wanted to use them as a stepping stone? Too bad she had a hobby of turning situations around, making them benefit her instead.
She smirked and turned towards the Secretary. "Let them in. Prepare the fighting ring on the second floor as well as refreshnts. And oh give so grapes, the seedless ones." She turned his attention back to the Patriarch. "Patriarch Long lets see each other on the second floor. No matter who the winner is, I am sure that the other leaders from the other city will see the strength of the Long City." Finally she looked at the three people sitting next to Long Yi. "Goodluck."
