Duan Nanye was pondering when Ye Guichen spoke up, "Uncle Wang, I think Brother Duan must have told you about my identity. Since this matter involves the King of Hell, who has harbored a deep-seated hatred for , I won’t be able to sleep soundly until he is dead. So, do you have any suggestions, Uncle Wang?"
Ye Guichen spoke very politely.
He was confident that Wang Xiao could understand his aning.
Sure enough, seeing that Ye Guichen did not answer his question directly, Wang Xiao smiled and did not continue.
After all, there was plenty of ti; he was just testing the waters earlier.
If it had been an ordinary young master, hearing him suggest matching Wang Ying with him, he would probably have jumped for joy.
To his surprise, Ye Guichen remained calm and composed, completely unmoved by Wang Xiao’s words.
Unconsciously, Wang Xiao’s opinion of Ye Guichen rose again.
He was confident in his granddaughter’s looks, even though she was a bit older than Su Jiu’er, she was in no way inferior to Su Jiu’er.
Becoming his grandson-in-law would definitely be a stepping stone to great heights.
However, not only did Ye Guichen not agree, but he also seed a bit embarrassed.
This was truly being unaffected by favor or disgrace.
"Girl, go and bring my best Longjing tea. We’ll chat while we drink," Wang Xiao instructed, leading Ye Guichen and Duan Nanye to a nearby pavilion.
After taking their seats, Wang Xiao glanced at Duan Nanye, "Little Duan, tell Xiao Ye about the current situation in Jinling."
"Alright!" Duan Nanye nodded, "If I say anything incorrect, Uncle Wang, please add on."
Clearly, Duan Nanye knew a bit about how audacious the King of Hell was.
Moreover, from his deanor, it seed he had sought Wang Xiao’s help before, but Wang Xiao had not agreed.
Ye Guichen listened attentively.
After speaking for more than half an hour, Ye Guichen had a general understanding.
It turned out that the King of Hell’s arrogance was not only related to Azure Dragon Comrce, but also to a mysterious sect behind it.
According to the investigation during this period, that sect was likely the sa one that caused Azure Dragon Comrce to purchase the Seven-colored Lotus Jade.
The sect’s na was Eternal Life Hall.
So far, even Wang Xiao only knew the na of the sect behind Azure Dragon Comrce; he knew nothing about its mbers or its location.
Though the King of Hell had joined Azure Dragon Comrce for so ti, his position within it had always been diocre.
Eager to prove himself, the King of Hell naturally spared no effort in disrupting the underground world.
In Jinling, on the surface, Azure Dragon Comrce had reached the point of absolute dominance.
However, in the underground world, Azure Dragon Comrce had not achieved complete unification.
Seeing the King of Hell as a useful pawn, Azure Dragon Comrce naturally let him act as he pleased.
Not only that, Azure Dragon Comrce was also eyeing the Wang Family and had explicitly stated that if the Wang Family dared to intervene, they would show no rcy.
For this reason, Wang Xiao feared that Jinling would beco chaotic and did not dare to act rashly.
But now that Wang Ying had appeared at Longwang Villa, Azure Dragon Comrce would surely get the news and co to hold them accountable.
Having heard all this, Su Jiu’er was indignant, "Grandpa Wang, you are the King of Jinling. Are you really afraid of a re Azure Dragon Comrce?"
Wang Xiao gave Su Jiu’er a look but said nothing. Duan Nanye, however, smiled bitterly, "Jiu’er, you don’t understand. If it were just Azure Dragon Comrce, Uncle Wang wouldn’t have to worry. But now it involves the forces behind Azure Dragon Comrce. Moreover, if we’re not careful, the whole of Jinling could fall into chaos, which is what Uncle Wang does not want to see."
"Therefore, I initially wanted you and Brother Ye to step forward to attract the King of Hell’s attention. I would hunt him down from the shadows. If we could eliminate the King of Hell without anyone knowing, that would be best. But the King of Hell was too cunning. If it weren’t for Brother Ye, I might have died in Longwang Villa, and my n and Miss Wang would have been implicated as well. I am truly ashad!"
Duan Nanye, feeling deeply embarrassed, stood up and gave Ye Guichen a solemn bow: "Brother Ye, I need to thank you properly!"
Ye Guichen stopped Duan Nanye: "Enough. This is no ti for unnecessary words. The King of Hell will not give up easily. We must confirm his whereabouts as soon as possible. Even if we can’t kill him, we must at least eliminate his supporters to prevent further complications."
Wang Xiao smiled bitterly: "Easier said than done! Azure Dragon Comrce is watching us closely. If we make any moves, they will definitely intervene. It’s as if my hands are tied, I can’t do anything."
"Grandpa Wang, what are you afraid of? We have Brother Ye here!" Su Jiu’er leaned closer to Ye Guichen.
Ye Guichen did not move, only sensing a fragrant aroma wafting to his nose.
Though he had seen Su Jiu’er’s body before, it was when he was treating her illness, and he had no impure thoughts.
Now that this girl was throwing herself into his arms, he couldn’t help feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Wang Xiao, having seen through Su Jiu’er’s act, did not expose her. Suddenly, as if he had thought of sothing, he pointed at Wang Ying, who was pouring tea: "Right, there is a place where we might find many of Yama Hall’s assassins. Since Xiao Ying is already involved with Longwang Villa, let her go with you."
"Where?" Duan Nanye and Ye Guichen asked in unison.
Wang Xiao took a sip of tea: "The underground gym."
"The underground gym?" Duan Nanye and Ye Guichen were startled, sowhat puzzled.
Though the King of Jinling hadn’t intervened in the underground world, he had investigated.
Soon, the King of Jinling outlined his findings.
It turned out that there was an underground gym in Jinling.
Everyone who could enter there was from the underground world; ordinary people were not allowed in.
That place seed to be under Azure Dragon Comrce’s control, holding boxing matches daily, a significant source of inco for them.
Since the King of Hell and his Yama Hall n joined Azure Dragon Comrce, as assassins they had fewer missions.
But those people were all ruthless, killing without blinking. Aside from engaging in the King of Hell’s tasks to disrupt the underground world, they spent their free ti pursuing won.
However, another activity attracted their interest.
That was the boxing matches.
It was said that the stakes for each match were very high, with soone earning billions in one night.
The assassins of Yama Hall found a sense of purpose, frequently participating in the fights, not only to earn extra money but also to seek bloody thrills.
So, that underground gym often gathered quite a number of Yama Hall’s assassins.
If they could catch them all in one go, it would be a harsh blow to the King of Hell, significantly weakening his power.
"There is such a place?" Duan Nanye’s eyes sparkled.
Previously, Ye Guichen had stolen the lilight at Longwang Villa. This ti, he wanted to redeem himself, showing a strange excitent in his eyes.
Wang Xiao, however, appeared somber: "But I need to remind you that place is still Azure Dragon Comrce’s territory, hosting likely over a hundred Yama Hall assassins. With Azure Dragon Comrce secretly and openly protecting them, making a move is extrely difficult."
Upon seeing Ye Guichen remain silent, Wang Ying mocked: "Of course, if you’re scared, you don’t have to go."
