Happy People Bar!

Ye Xiao stood at the entrance of the bar with a smile on his face, behind him stood Yan Luo and Niu Chuang. Yan Luo's face was filled with a cold expression as he looked up at the bustling Happy People Bar, seemingly not fond of such places. Niu Chuang, standing beside Yan Luo, contrasted sharply, excitement painted over his face. For Niu Chuang, standing here was an opportunity to change his destiny. He knew he had to seize this chance for a life filled with passion and, of course, impressive authority.

Ye Xiao was well aware of the differing moods of the two men behind him, so he stepped into Happy People Bar.

Happy People Bar was a crucial venue overseen by Wu Shengchang; moreover, Wu Shengchang's most elite subordinates were also stationed there. Indeed, as soon as Ye Xiao entered the Happy People Bar, he immediately drew the attention of some of the bouncers.

Coincidentally, some of them were the same people who had followed Brother Bear to trouble Ye Xiao the night before. Several others had close relationships with Brother Bear.

"What are you trying to do?" As soon as Ye Xiao walked in, three young men blocked his path; they were members of Hong Company.

Ye Xiao had a sharp mind. Although his gaze had only swept over those people briefly the day before, he still vaguely remembered them—these young men were subordinates of Brother Bear.

"How is your Brother Bear?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile, looking at the three men before him.

"I'm asking you, what are you trying to do?" One of the youths glared coldly at Ye Xiao who, in his eyes, was a bona fide enemy, deserving no friendly treatment.

Perhaps because of their outright disagreeable demeanor, Yan Luo, who had been standing behind Ye Xiao, stepped forward and stood in front of him, staring coldly at the young man, "You'd better mind your tone."

"Hmph, for an enemy, we brothers at Hong Company have no need for politeness. Leave now and you might still be safe," those youths from the Hong Company declared arrogantly, "If you don't leave, my Hong Company brothers will certainly crush you to pieces."

"Come on, brothers, don't be mad. My friend here has a temper, please don't take offense, we're all brothers here," Niu Chuang, seeing that Yan Luo seemed about to confront the members of Hong Company, jumped in, frightened. After all, they were here to join Hong Company, and if matters soured now, it could become a big problem, possibly even jeopardizing their chances of joining.

"What are you!" The youths of Hong Company, mostly street thugs accustomed to bullying the weak, grew even more arrogant upon sensing Niu Chuang's fear, shouting directly at him.

Niu Chuang, on hearing the scolding from the Hong Company youth, looked embarrassed yet dared not say much more; after all, these were official Hong Club members, and his own admission was still uncertain. Even though he possessed brute strength, he was outnumbered and outpowered.

Niu Chuang stood there, unsure of what to do, while Yan Luo's face was filled with anger. How could he tolerate such humiliation, regardless of the circumstances? Although having just met Niu Chuang, since he was a friend of Ye Xiao, as Ye Xiao's brother, it was time for him to act.

Yan Luo, usually a man of few words, now found the words when he needed to; his tiger eyes glaring at the young man from Hong Company as he shouted, "And just who do you think you are?"

"Hey, you dare to curse me? Don't you know this is Hong Company's territory? Fuck, I think you don't want to leave today." The guy shouted loudly at Yan Luo.

His shout drew the attention of everyone in the bar.

Happy People Bar was typically a peaceful venue due to Wu Shengchang's strict management. Thus, when a member of the Hong Club raised his voice, everyone was curious to see who dared to cause trouble in 'Sixth Master Wu's' place.

As the voice of the young man from Hong Company fell, immediately about a dozen people approached. Since Ye Xiao hadn't been seen by many yesterday and almost all attention was now on Yan Luo, hardly anyone noticed Ye Xiao standing behind Yan Luo.

Since there was a disturbance at Happy People Bar, they were naturally going to intervene and teach someone a lesson.

"Kid, do you know where you are?" A youth who seemed to be a small leader walked up to Yan Luo, sneered at him, and patted Yan Luo on the shoulder, "I advise you not to cause any trouble, or you may find it hard to leave this bar."

Yan Luo didn't pay any attention to him at all. Seeing the person patting his shoulder, he got extremely irritated, brushing the man's hand away and said coldly, "Whether I can leave this bar is my decision to make."

The man, having his hand brushed away, was immediately filled with rage, staring at Yan Luo who dared to defy him and yelled, "You dare to lay your hands on me? You're asking for death!"

After saying this, he suddenly threw a punch at Yan Luo.

Yan Luo sidestepped, dodging the man's fist.

At that moment, Niu Chuang hurriedly stopped Yan Luo who was about to fight back, and immediately addressed the small leader of Hong Company who had attacked Yan Luo, "Big brother, please calm down. My friend is a bit impulsive!"

"Fucking hell!" The man, already very displeased from not hitting Yan Luo and now hearing Niu Chuang's insistent whining, became even more irritated. Without another word, he kicked Niu Chuang, sending him staggering. If Ye Xiao hadn't reached out to support him, he would have probably fallen.

Yan Luo hadn't fully decided to fight back yet, but seeing the other party kick him almost to the ground, he could no longer contain his anger. He lunged forward and punched the man right in his eye, instantly, the man felt dizzy as his head spun. Yet, it wasn't over; Yan Luo quickly grabbed the man's shoulders and yanked down sharply, then drove his knee ferociously into the man's chest. Suddenly, the man felt as if he had been harshly hit by a train and had crashed onto a giant hammer, the pain excruciating.

"Ah..." A scream erupted from the man's mouth.

Yan Luo's movements were exceptionally sharp; his sequence flowed like clouds and water. By this time, everyone around was stunned. First, they had not expected someone to dare strike at a member of the Hong Company here, and secondly, they hadn't imagined that this person could be so keenly relentless, defeating the swaggering member of the Hong Company in the blink of an eye without giving him a chance to fight back.

However, the members of the Hong Company soon recovered and immediately prepared to attack Yan Luo.

But just at that moment, a stern voice came from within the crowd, "Stop!"

Upon hearing this voice, the members of the Hong Company immediately ceased their actions and then looked toward the person who had just spoken.

"Brother Chao!" Each member of the Hong Company, seeing the source of the voice, said.

Brother Chao was obviously Ma Chao, Wu Shengchang's top fighter.

Ma Chao indeed possessed great bravery, his abilities comparable to Wu Shengchang's; of course, he had never fought Wu Shengchang, but it was certain his capabilities were impressive.

"Brother Chao, this guy came here to cause trouble," one of the Hong Company's underlings immediately said to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao looked toward Yan Luo, who was also staring coldly back at him.

"You've got some nerve," Ma Chao said with a cold glare.

"Brother Chao sure makes a grand entrance!" These words, naturally, were not spoken by Yan Luo; having readied himself for battle, the words instead came from Ye Xiao standing just behind him.

Upon hearing this voice, Ma Chao immediately frowned secretly; as long as this voice was present, it seemed he would not be able to do much.

Indeed, Ma Chao saw a young man, about twenty years old and looking like a high school student, step out from behind Yan Luo—it was none other than Ye Xiao.

"Ye Xiao!" Ma Chao looked at Ye Xiao and then at Yan Luo, asking, "Is he your subordinate?"

"He's my brother!" Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Ma Chao glanced at Yan Luo again. Knowing somewhat of Ye Xiao's abilities, he understood that anyone considered a brother by Ye Xiao must also be exceptionally skilled.

"Sixth Master is already waiting," Ma Chao said to Ye Xiao.

"Then let's go," Ye Xiao said.

At this moment, the Hong Company members who had initially intended to block Ye Xiao stared in shock and disbelief; they hadn't expected the person they were supposed to stop was actually someone Sixth Master Wu was waiting for—clearly, they had made a mistake.

Seeing Yan Luo and Niu Chuang about to follow Ye Xiao upstairs, Ma Chao looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "What? You're planning to take them upstairs too?"

"Why don't you call Brother Six again to confirm?" Ye Xiao suggested with a smile.

Ma Chao looked at Ye Xiao, knowing that regardless of any prior arrangement with Wu Shengchang, if he were to confirm it now with Wu Shengchang by phone, Wu would certainly allow them upstairs; thus, he caught on that the call was unnecessary.

"Let's go!" Ma Chao then took the lead heading upstairs.

Ye Xiao followed him upstairs, with Yan Luo closely behind, and Niu Chuang, not wanting to offend the people from the Hong Company, apologized with a smile while walking.

Having reached the upstairs, they soon arrived at the room where Wu Shengchang was.

"Brother Ye, you've arrived quite quickly." Wu Shengchang sat on the sofa, smiling at Ye Xiao as he entered.

"We just had a little misunderstanding downstairs, which caused some delay; otherwise, I would have arrived even sooner," Ye Xiao replied.

"A misunderstanding?" Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Wu Shengchang immediately turned to Ma Chao.

"Sixth Master, it's just..." Ma Chao did not want to admit his subordinates were at fault, yet he struggled to explain.

At that moment, Ye Xiao interrupted Ma Chao and smilingly said to Wu Shengchang, "Brother Six, didn't I tell you? I wanted to introduce two people to you, and these are the two."
