257: 0255 VIP 257: 0255 VIP Liu Hu’s attitude toward Ye Qiu was clearly not that of a re acquaintance eting a friend, but rather resembled the enthusiasm of a young man chasing his idol, with a look in his eyes that suggested he wanted to reach the sa heights.
Unyielding, resolute, and tinted with a hint of admiration.
Could it be that Ye Qiu also boxed?
Huo Qian was no fool.
From Liu Hu’s words, not only did Ye Qiu box, but he was probably quite skilled.
“Ye, don’t tell that in addition to being able to sculpt and race, you can also do kung fu?” Huo Qian said with a look of disbelief.
“A little bit,” Ye Qiu replied modestly.
“If being able to take down five of Fujikawa Ueno’s top n is just ‘a little bit,’ then I must have none at all.”
Just then, a robust voice rang out, and a figure approached, heading straight for the trio.
Upon seeing the tall man, Liu Hu bowed his head respectfully and said, “Boss.”
Huo Qian was startled.
Could this man be the real owner of this underground boxing ring?
It was his first ti seeing him.
“Young Ye, coming to my place without saying hello to your brother, I might have to hold that against you,” he said.
The man before them, ng Chong, was dressed in a clean, sharp black suit, looking every bit the successful businessman.
Seeing ng Chong in this attire, Ye Qiu was slightly taken aback.
Where was the air of a martial artist about ng Chong?
He looked like a company boss, suited and booted, with shiny shoes and a designer watch, his hair gleaming, clearly grood.
“What, can’t recognize your brother after a few days?” ng Chong teased.
Ye Qiu laughed heartily and said, “It’s just that the ng Chong I rember is quite different from the one before now.”
“Is this your friend?” ng Chong asked, looking over at Huo Qian.
“Yes, his na is Huo Qian,” Ye Qiu introduced.
“Hello, I’m ng Chong, the owner of this boxing ring.” ng Chong extended a hand graciously.
Huo Qian, taken aback by the honor, shook it, still trying to process the scene unfolding before him.
Ye Qiu was too secretive; not only did he know Liu Hu, but he was also acquainted with the boss of this underground ring and, judging by their interaction, they were quite close.
Huo Qian stealthily glanced at Ye Qiu’s back, thinking that maybe ‘mysterious’ should be added to Ye Qiu’s description to prevent him from being caught off guard by Ye Qiu in the future.
“Let’s go talk over there,” Liu Hu said, leading them upstairs.
Huo Qian had only ever been to one of the ordinary rooms on the second floor during his visits to the casino, but ng Chong brought them into the best and most luxurious private room, from which the whole first floor, especially the ring, could be clearly seen through the glass and the massive screens at every angle.
“Have a seat…,” ng Chong waved everyone over.
Ye Qiu and Huo Qian sat down, while Liu Hu stood respectfully to the side, not daring to sit.
As stunned as Huo Qian was, Liu Hu also felt a trendous upheaval in his heart; he had been at this underground boxing ring for a while, and upon deciding to join the ring to hone his skills, his first encounter was with ng Chong.
The real owner of the underground boxing market.
At that ti, ng Chong said he wanted to test Liu Hu’s skills, who thought ng Chong was just big in size.
But after they sparred, Liu Hu deeply realized his error; with just one move, ng Chong defeated him.
Thus, in Liu Hu’s heart, ng Chong was soone more formidable than anyone he had t, even surpassing Ye Qiu.
However, today, seeing ng Chong’s attitude toward Ye Qiu, reality seed different than he imagined.
ng Chong, known as the stern-faced boss in the underground boxing world, rarely showed a smile to anyone—at least Liu Hu had never seen it.
But in dealing with Ye Qiu, ng Chong noticeably smiled several tis, especially with a warmth that exceeded ordinary friendship.
Liu Hu stood cautiously beside ng Chong, across from Ye Qiu—the man he once considered a romantic rival and had troubled nurous tis.
Although they later reconciled, Liu Hu still felt a sense of sha.
It was as if standing in front of Ye Qiu made him feel even more insignificant, far less relaxed than when they had t at school.
Perhaps because of ng Chong nearby, Liu Hu’s position was sowhat awkward.
He was just a rising boxer in ng Chong’s ring, while Ye Qiu was a friend of ng Chong.
Even though he knew Ye Qiu, their status differed vastly at this mont.
Perhaps this was the reason of strength, Ye Qiu had earned ng Chong’s approval, definitely having exceptional qualities, and Liu Hu needed to possess comparable strength to receive the sa treatnt.
Strength!
Liu Hu secretly clenched his fists, determined to keep getting stronger, to catch up with the man before him.
Even if he stood like a mountain in his way, Liu Hu was unwilling to give up just yet.
A man must not lose his vigor.
While Liu Hu was lost in thought, a strange man entered the private room.
Ye Qiu recognized him as the person Huo Qian had ntioned, the nominal boss responsible for overseeing the gambling gas.
“We have distinguished guests today, fetch a banquet for this room,” ng Chong said.
The man, surprised, let his gaze linger on Ye Qiu twice, not expecting the person he had overlooked to be a distinguished guest.
The strange man nodded and silently left the private room.
“Now that Brother Ye is here, I, the older brother, will play the host.
How about we have so food in this room?” ng Chong said.
ng Chong was straightforward in his manner and didn’t beat around the bush.
Huo Qian looked at Ye Qiu, Liu Hu remained silent, clearly, ng Chong was mainly speaking with Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu nodded, “Alright, thanks for the treat, big brother ng Chong.”
The man had already gone to arrange things according to the instructions, and for Ye Qiu to speak of postponing now would seem disrespectful to ng Chong, and he did not want to create discord with ng Chong.
“Haha, not at all,” ng Chong said with a completely unconcerned tone.
The man worked efficiently.
Within half an hour, dishes were served.
Liu Hu did not stay to eat since he was just a fighter in the boxing market at the mont and knew his place.
Although Ye Qiu had wanted him to sit down and eat together, Liu Hu found an excuse and left the private room.
In the room, only Ye Qiu, Huo Qian, and ng Chong remained.
ng Chong poured a glass of wine for both Ye Qiu and Huo Qian.
Huo Qian was pleasantly surprised, and Ye Qiu smiled, “Big brother ng, are you trying to get drunk today?”
“Haha, Brother Ye and I initially didn’t get along until we fought it out.
Today, as Brother Ye has returned, naturally we won’t leave until we’re drunk.
Tonight, just follow my lead,” ng Chong laughed heartily.
Ye Qiu could only smile and nod.
“This is a vintage wine from my collection, I usually can’t bear to drink it.
Today, I’m happy, Brother Ye, you can’t disappoint .”
Huo Qian took a sip, imdiately feeling fiery, as if flas ignited in his stomach.
“Indeed it’s a fine wine,” Huo Qian exhaled.
ng Chong laughed heartily, “Brother Huo loves wine too, that’s perfect.
Let us drink and enjoy the fights below, how does that sound?”
With that said, ng Chong pointed at the ring where the two combatants had already begun clashing.
Ye Qiu and Huo Qian both looked over, seeing that the battle on the ring had indeed heated up, entering a fierce phase.
Drinking and enjoying the fight!
In such a scene, totally delightful; truly one of life’s great pleasures.
