"Could he be... the mysterious person?"
"It has to be. Why else would he be walking toward the ring?"
"No way. A little chef?"
"The mysterious person is just a young chef? This is... intriguing."
"And he's got delicate features, looks to be in his early twenties, right? At best, he's just a kitchen apprentice. How could he be the mysterious person?"
The crowd watched Wanyan Xiong step onto the ring, their gazes all fixed on Jiang Xinghai, who was dressed in a chef's jacket.
That's right. He had swiped a chef's jacket from the free-range chicken shop and put it on.
It made him seem more mysterious, after all.
After stepping onto the ring, Jiang Xinghai looked at Wanyan Xiong, whose eyes were filled with doubt.
Indeed, Wanyan Xiong was also a bit stunned when he saw his opponent.
'This person... he was the Jiang Xinghai I dubbed the "mysterious person"? The Jiang Xinghai who had recently thrown my underground network into chaos, caused countless deaths and injuries, and even killed my third brother, Wild Wolf—this was him?'
Wanyan Xiong's head was starting to ache.
It was unbelievable.
anwhile, below the ring, Du Jingsong and the others simply smiled knowingly without a word.
While the others were clueless, this group knew exactly what was going on.
This was Jiang Xinghai in disguise.
As for the couple, Shen Zhengye and Qiao Huimin, they exchanged a wry smile.
"He cultivates both martial and esoteric arts, so it's normal for him to be able to alter his appearance," Shen Zhengye said in a low voice, tightly gripping Qiao Huimin's hand.
And sitting next to the Shen couple, the two won, Ye Zhiqiu and Mi Hong, stared intently at the mysterious man in the chef's uniform, stunned into silence.
Who could have guessed that the person who issued a life-and-death challenge to Mountain Opening Tiger Wanyan Xiong would turn out to be just a young kitchen apprentice?
Of course, many in the crowd guessed that this was a deliberate choice of attire by the mysterious person—a smokescreen to enhance his enigmatic aura.
In a corner of the back row, a slender, long-haired beauty wearing a pair of black-rimd glasses stared fixedly at Jiang Xinghai on the ring and couldn't help but murmur to herself, 'Is that him? Jiang Xinghai?'
"DONG... DONG... DONG..."
At that mont, the clock struck eight in the evening.
On the ring, Wanyan Xiong, who had been staring intently at Jiang Xinghai, finally seed to realize sothing. "You're..."
"Don't look at with such an adoring gaze. My sexual preferences are perfectly normal." Jiang Xinghai's opening line sent a wave of shock through the crowd.
It only served to fill Wanyan Xiong's heart with rage. "Very good. I hope you can maintain this arrogance. Don't disappoint ."
Then, with a grand wave of his hand, he declared, "All surveillance caras can start recording! Go live with the broadcast!"
Following his command, caras all over the venue, both in plain sight and hidden in secret corners, began to roll.
Even the drones hovering in the air started their recordings.
He did this for one reason: he needed this battle to announce to the world that he had taken that crucial step!
Tomorrow, the Wanyan Family would proclaim to the world that they had beco the one and only First-class Martial Arts Clan in Jizhou!
"Going for such a flashy show?" Jiang Xinghai eyed Wanyan Xiong.
'Good thing I didn't show my real face tonight.
'Otherwise, after this gets broadcast all over the internet, it's bound to reach my three senior sisters, and they'll definitely chew out.
'How embarrassing!
'The sole male disciple of Kunlun's esteed Yao Gu, fighting a life-and-death match in the mortal world... If word of this got out, wouldn't it be seen as a case of the strong bullying the weak? Where would my dignity be?'
"Any last words? Speak them loudly. I will do my best to grant them," Wanyan Xiong said, his eyes glinting with killing intent as he clasped his hands behind his back.
"Old man, I think you're the one who should be thinking about last words. I'll give you the ti it takes to smoke a cigarette to think it over." Jiang Xinghai raised a hand and lit a cigarette.
Wanyan Xiong was enraged. "Insolent brat!"
Below the ring, the crowd was once again stunned.
What gave this mysterious man in a chef's uniform the right to be so arrogant?
「anwhile, at the Shen Corporation.」
"Sis! Quick, look at the live stream!"
Shen Lingyin rushed over to a pensive Shen Lingxue, holding out her phone.
"What is it?" Shen Lingxue leaned in for a look.
On the phone's screen, a sturdy, bearded man was facing off against a young man in a chef's jacket on top of a ring.
"That's Mountain Opening Tiger!"
A strange light flickered in Shen Lingxue's eyes. "And that's... Xinghai!"
"Wow, Sis, you recognized that it was Jiang Xinghai at a glance?" Shen Lingyin was deeply impressed.
"Didn't you recognize him too?" Shen Lingxue said, pulling out her own phone.
"Oh, I didn't recognize him by sight."
Shen Lingyin giggled. "You already knew he was going to fight Mountain Opening Tiger tonight, so it was just natural to figure it was him."
Shen Lingxue nodded.
She was just looking at the man on the screen with the devilish gaze. Those familiar-looking eyes were so much like Jiang Xinghai's.
"I can't believe he's so good at makeup that he could completely change his face," Shen Lingyin said, tapping the little heart and star icons on the screen.
"It doesn't look like makeup," Shen Lingxue mused.
"Wow! The viewer count is over one hundred thousand!" As she spoke, Shen Lingyin sent a "Rocket" gift with the comnt, "Mysterious Man will win!"
Soon, many other people on the stream began sending gifts as well.
"Mysterious Man is trash!"
"Mountain Opening Tiger for the easy win!"
"Go Mountain Opening Tiger! Totally crush that little punk in the chef's coat!"
