"I’ll see you off," Xiang Yu said as he followed Wang Qian downstairs.
ng Hu just stood there without moving. Watching the two walk down, he looked around and muttered to himself, "This place is going to be mine in the future."
Wang Qian and Xiang Yu walked down together, exchanged a glance, and both smiled.
"Looks like he’s interested in you, wants to win you over," Wang Qian said with a laugh.
"Can’t help it, I’m just too charming," Xiang Yu shrugged.
Wang Qian rolled her eyes at Xiang Yu and playfully punched his arm, in a flirtatious manner.
As they reached downstairs, Wang Qian seed to rember sothing and said, "Where’s your sister Long Wu? Why didn’t she co with you? Is she still in the country?"
When Wang Qian was in the country, she had a long connection with Xiang Yu, and she still knew a bit about his background.
"No," Xiang Yu just smiled and didn’t intend to elaborate.
Since they were involved in highly dangerous matters now, he didn’t want to ntion these friends at any ti, who knows if soone with ill intentions might hear and bring them danger.
Seeing that Xiang Yu didn’t want to talk, Wang Qian just smiled and said, "Don’t forget, this villa is mine now."
Xiang Yu helplessly nodded and said, "Even though I’m reluctant, since you’ve already asked, I’ll let you use it, but you have to pay the commission on ti every month."
Wang Qian gave a mysterious smile and didn’t say anything. Xiang Yu was just a wealthy guy, and the commission thing was obviously a joke.
As Wang Qian turned to leave, a group of people, looking aggressive, approached from outside.
Seeing this, Wang Qian just shook her head and smiled, "Looks like you’re quite busy today, Xiang Yu."
The group numbered over a dozen, not more than the n in yellow from earlier, but their aura far surpassed them.
Leading the group was a muscular man with a strong murderous intent on his face.
Since Xiang Yu was already down there, he walked towards them.
As they got closer, Wang Qian finally got a clear look at the man and whispered to Xiang Yu, "This person is Xu Ke, the top bodyguard by Ma Kelun’s side, the leader of the Clover rcenary Corps. His skills are formidable."
"Xu Ke?" Xiang Yu pondered for a mont and said, "That na sounds familiar, isn’t he an actor?"
"What are you thinking?" Wang Qian rolled her eyes at him in exasperation.
Wu Jing and Tie Zhuzi stood there too.
Tie Zhuzi, seeing more troublemakers, wasn’t angry; he laughed instead, feeling like the last group fled before he could fully enjoy the fight.
Now was the perfect chance to try his hand again, especially with so many spectators, boosting his fighting spirit even more.
"What’s your bunch of pests up to, report your nas first," Tie Zhuzi shouted.
"Pfft!"
Wang Qian couldn’t help but chuckle, then turned to Xiang Yu, "You’re strange, and your brothers are strange too."
Xiang Yu just smiled awkwardly and asked, "What’s the deal with this Xu Ke?"
Xu Ke, with every move, carried the aura of a master, and Xiang Yu felt he was a killing demon, who must have taken many lives.
Because Xiang Yu could see his own reflection in the man.
"He’s no ordinary man. He retired from the army after seeing combat and killing countless people. He was forced to retire because of indiscriminate killing on the battlefield," Wang Qian sneered and continued, "I didn’t expect him to join the rcenaries after retirent, becoming even worse than before."
Xiang Yu nodded, now having a bit more understanding of this man.
Such a person, having seen combat and mixed in society for so long, was the hardest to deal with.
If there was an enemy just like Xiang Yu, he would find it a headache himself.
Xu Ke ignored Tie Zhuzi and directly locked his gaze on Xiang Yu, sensing the sa distinction from Xiang Yu, identifying him as the leader here.
"I’m here to find soone," Xu Ke said, looking up at Xiang Yu.
As he finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Qian beside Xiang Yu, a flicker of surprise crossing his face before regaining his grim composure.
Wang Qian was indeed beautiful, but that wasn’t the point; the point was she was the sub-leader of the Wolf Fang stationed at the sub-division.
The look of shock was fleeting, replaced by a more sinister expression.
Seeing Xiang Yu and Wang Qian together, and their relationship seemingly not being one of re hierarchy, Xu Ke felt puzzled.
"Who are you? Who are you looking for here?" Xiang Yu asked calmly.
"Yu bro, why bother talking to him? This kid seems to be here to stir up trouble, let’s just beat him up and send him running," Tie Zhuzi said impatiently.
Wu Jing stood beside Tie Zhuzi and pulled at him, sensing a dangerous vibe from Xu Ke, as if he might strike at any mont.
That feeling was one Wu Jing had only sensed in Xiang Yu before, now appearing again, indicating the man wasn’t simple.
"Don’t hold back, leave this show-off to , I just find him annoying," Tie Zhuzi said unabashedly.
Xiang Yu waved a hand to signal Tie Zhuzi to stay silent, then took a couple of steps forward and looked earnestly at Xu Ke.
"I’m Xu Ke, the third leader of the Clover rcenary Corps. My brothers saw Ren Qing co this way, so I need to take him back," Xu Ke said slowly.
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled, especially Wang Qian, surprised that Xu Ke was pushed to the position of the third leader right after Ren Hua’s demise.
Evidently, there must have been a bloody struggle within the Clover, and the leader Ma Kelun pushed Xu Ke to the forefront to quell the internal turmoil.
Xiang Yu just smiled faintly after hearing this; the title of the third leader of Clover sounded impressive, but was rely a dog’s position for the big leader.
Ren Hua didn’t want to be a dog, so he was killed.
Now they’d replaced him with Xu Ke, who seed destined to be the new dog. Thinking of this, Xiang Yu couldn’t help but feel a bit sympathetic towards Xu Ke.
"Hand him over quickly, or I’ll wash this place with blood," Xu Ke said confidently.
It was evident that the n behind him were no ordinary people either; they must have been carefully selected.
Just being newly appointed, Xu Ke wanted to execute so sensational acts.
With Xiang Yu’s Heavenly Dragon rcenary Corps in the lilight now, dominating discussions in the rcenary world, he aid to leverage this notoriety to make a na for himself, and signal that he had stepped onto the historical stage.
Ren Qing was just a pretext; even without him, Xu Ke would find another reason to co looking for trouble.
"What if I said he isn’t here, would you believe ?" Xiang Yu asked with a faint smile.
"I don’t believe, I’ll ask once more, are you handing him over or not?" Xu Ke demanded assertively.
His n behind him were getting into a fighting stance.
"To hell with it, I just can’t stand this pretentious act. Yu bro, let handle it," Tie Zhuzi bellowed...
