Ye Xiao walked out of the pavilion, his thoughts heavy, as he returned to the school.
"Is it my fate just to be a bodyguard?" Ye Xiao roared inwardly, because just before, Ouyang Hua had made it clear to him that once he joined the Flame Dragon Team, he must be mentally prepared to be a bodyguard!
At the time, Ye Xiao had asked Ouyang Hua whom he was supposed to protect. Ouyang Hua stood up, pointed forward, then turned a circle around himself, and then he gave Ye Xiao an unimaginably bizarre answer—all territories acknowledged by the motherland were under the Flame Dragon Team's protection!
Ye Xiao always considered himself fearless, doing whatever he wanted to, but privately, he did have his own concerns. After all, he was just one person, and there were many powerful organizations in the world, especially legitimate national organizations, which were not something Ye Xiao could contend with. However, Ye Xiao received a piece of incredible news from Ouyang Hua—that as long as he didn't violate the team's rules, he could do anything he wished. If the sky were to fall, the state would only back him up!
Ouyang Hua also gave Ye Xiao his first mission in the Flame Dragon Team: within half a year, control the illegal forces in Minghai City because the country suspected that some foreign powers were controlling people hidden in the city, and these forces could likely be linked to foreign criminal organizations. Ye Xiao's task was to root out those people and eliminate them!
Ye Xiao felt helpless that he was just a small bodyguard, even if he had performed several impressive rescue missions in Lijiazhou. But was that the reason why the Flame Dragon Team sought him out?
However, Ye Xiao had another big doubt: why was his division within the Flame Dragon Team ranked as the weakest among the twenty-four divisions? Was it because his own strength was subpar?
Remembering Ouyang Hua's sly smile at the end, Ye Xiao truly doubted whether his assignment to this particular group was premeditated!
Ye Xiao intended to call Ling Hengyu to ask why others knew his secret. But later, he dropped the idea. Since the Flame Dragon Team was so confident in finding him, was there any need now to call Ling Hengyu to confirm whether the secret was leaked by him? Now that he was a member of the Flame Dragon Team, with many privileges, did he really need to ask?
Even if he got an explanation, what would it change? Ye Xiao had always thought he could be very shameless, but he could see that the Flame Dragon Team was even more shameless!
It didn't take long for Ye Xiao to return to his classroom; it was almost time for class. When Ye Xiao entered, the room was in a chaotic uproar—he heard a scream as soon as he walked in.
"Submit, or no?" This voice was very familiar.
"Never submit, Zhan Bo. I look down on you! Aren't you just relying on Ye Xiao and Sun Yuze? Without their support, you're nothing!"
Zhan Bo's eyes were red with fury. Since yesterday, Zhan Bo, Weii Yang, and Sun Yuze had been organizing an information network within the school. Initially, Chen Ming and Han Fei held some sway in the elite class, but amazingly, that very morning, both of them announced they would stop messing around in school and focus on studying!
Nobody would believe this, but one thing was certain—they really were done with their old ways. Except for their closest confidants, all their followers were disbanded; however, those who were dismissed were quickly won over by Zhan Bo and the others, with some rapid machinations. Of course, there were dissenters, but the methods of Zhan Bo and his companions were severe; by just that morning, more than five students who refused to comply were sent to the hospital. It was that morning that Zhan Bo and his companions' fame spread throughout the campus.
Formerly, Xiong Tao would have intervened since everyone could see that Zhan Bo and the others were stepping on face—(figuratively exerting their power)—but surprisingly, Xiong Tao did nothing.
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare do anything to you? Or do you think it's impossible for you to become the third person sent to the hospital?" Zhan Bo's face twisted menacingly, his fury heightened by the morning's events.
"Hit me then! Just so you know, as soon as Boss Guan arrives, all of you are finished!"
"I—" Zhan Bo was seething and about to beat up this person in front of him, but Weii Yang, standing nearby, held him back.
"Zhan Bo, don't rush!" Weii Yang said, looking at Zhan Bo.
Zhan Bo turned, puzzled, to Weii Yang, who added, "Guan Xiaonan is not just anybody!"
Guan Xiaonan?
Having heard Weii Yang's words, Zhan Bo immediately understood.
Weii Yang continued, "As a well-known young lady of Minghai Academy, Guan Xiaonan must have her unique qualities, so..."
Zhan Bo asked, "What do you mean?"
"Why not wait for Brother Xiao to decide?" Weii Yang proposed cautiously.
After thinking it over, Zhan Bo genuinely found Weii Yang's suggestion sensible; after all, Ye Xiao was their greatest reliance!
Just then, someone tapped Zhan Bo on the shoulder. He turned around and was surprised to see it was Ye Xiao. He respectfully greeted, "Brother Xiao!"
Ye Xiao, with a smile, looked at a young man crouching on the ground, covered in dirt, not looking at Zhan Bo, but slowly walking up to the youth and smilingly, "Who is Boss Guan?"
"Who are you?" The person sized up Ye Xiao, finding nothing special about him, and asked.
Wei Yang immediately said, "Kid, what are you dazed for? This is our Brother Xiao!"
Brother Xiao?
That person said, "You're Ye Xiao?"
Zhan Bo immediately shouted loudly, "Shit, who are you talking to, huh? Even Brother Xiao's name isn't something you can just call out!"
Ye Xiao waved his hand, signaling Zhan Bo to stop talking, and then set his eyes on this person.
"My name is Liu Chuang, I'm Boss Guan's brother. If you guys mess with me, Boss Guan won't let you off the hook, especially you, Ye Xiao. Don't think that just because you can fight well that you're something. In our school, Boss Guan is the real invincible one!"
'Slap!'
Right after Liu Chuang finished speaking, a slap landed on his face, and this slap came from Ye Xiao himself!
Everyone was taken aback!
Hardly anyone in the top classes didn't know Boss Guan—not only was she said to be the most capable fighter in Minghai Academy, but she was also a woman, and the sole female figure in the influential personalities of Minghai Academy.
"You... you dare to hit me? Let me tell you, even when striking a dog, you must look at the owner. Boss Guan won't let you off!" Liu Chuang bellowed in anger.
Ye Xiao said, "Are you a dog?"
At Ye Xiao's words, the surrounding students all burst into laughter.
Then Ye Xiao continued, "First of all, this is Class One's territory. Since you've been caught here, it means you're a captive. What you should do is obey. Also, I can tell you that you must submit. Of course, I can give you twenty-four hours to think about it. You have two choices: you can choose to submit, or you can choose to leave this school. Now, you can go."
Liu Chuang sat there stunned, but Ye Xiao had already stood up, looked at the students in the class, and said with a smile, "Everyone, stop gawking. The teacher will be here soon."
After Ye Xiao finished speaking, he walked over to his own seat. Instantly, everyone who was enjoying the spectacle walked back to their own seats. Zhan Bo, Wei Yang, and others stood still for a moment, then Wei Yang walked up to Liu Chuang and said, "Go on, Brother Xiao gave you such an opportunity today. Whether you grasp it is up to you."
After finishing his words, Wei Yang returned to his seat, while Zhan Bo simply ignored Liu Chuang.
Liu Chuang was still somewhat uncertain until now—had Ye Xiao really let him go? Wasn't Ye Xiao being too arrogant? Did Ye Xiao not realize what kind of person his Boss Guan was?
Liu Chuang's mind was full of questions, but obviously, there was no one available to answer him now.
Watching Liu Chuang leave the class in a sorry state, Ye Xiao's originally cheerful expression darkened.
Wei Yang, who was close to Ye Xiao, clearly saw the change in his expression.
"Brother Xiao, are you okay?" Wei Yang asked tentatively.
Ye Xiao said, "Who is Boss Guan? I've never heard of her."
"Boss Guan's real name is Guan Xiaonan. Her looks could easily rank within the top five at Minghai Academy, and she's really kind of a dominator," Wei Yang explained.
Ye Xiao said, "Wei Yang, normally I wouldn't interfere with you and Zhan Bo's business, but given what happened today, I can't keep quiet. Winning people over isn't just about force. You must have heard Liu Chuang's words—they weren't pleasant."
Wei Yang understood Ye Xiao's point, lowered his head with a flushed face, and said, "Brother Xiao, I'm sorry!"
"It's not about being sorry. I just want to say, don't get ahead of yourselves, because right now, you have nothing to be proud of. My words might be harsh, but I hope you take them to heart," Ye Xiao stated with indifference.
Wei Yang immediately nodded and said, "Brother Xiao, I understand. From now on, both Zhan Bo and I will be careful!"
Ye Xiao nodded slightly, then said, "By the way, what about that Guan Xiaonan you mentioned just now?"
