Chapter 700: Dog Three
The sudden roar interrupted Little Feiyan's "Palm Dance" and everyone's interest.
Everyone clenched their fists, their eyes wide with curiosity, staring at the doorway, eager to see who was so audacious.
"It's me."
Spoken calmly from outside the door, the tone carried an air of indifference.
Then, a man in a leather jacket walked in. His skin was dark and his face longer than Li Yong's, exuding an aura of gloom and menace.
"Dog Three."
"It's actually Dog Three; how did he come here?"
"If Dog Three is here, then Boss Huang must have come too."
..., ...
Everyone gasped in surprise. Contrary to Lin Tian's expectations, the moment Dog Three appeared, everyone immediately lost their edge, whispering among themselves.
Dog Three's real name was Wang Hu. Known for his cunning and vengeful nature, he rose in the ranks through bootlicking, becoming a lackey for Huang Batian. With his smarts, he had helped Huang Batian settle several difficult adversaries; now, he was Huang Batian's favored man.
However, his actions were despised by many. Eager to please Huang Batian, he was unscrupulous, and over time, people said he was like a dog by Huang Tianba's side, a loyal dog.
Unexpectedly, he wasn't offended by this comparison. Gradually, the nickname Dog Three stuck.
Apart from when he slept, Dog Three was hardly separated from Huang Batian. Dog Three's presence implied that Huang Batian was there too.
But the Beast Fighting Arena and Gambling Stone City were under Li Linglong's control, and Huang Batian never interfered. Today's sudden appearance suggested he might be looking to get a piece of Li Linglong's pie.
As everyone whispered among themselves, Dog Three scorned them all, strutting in.
People quickly stood up, smiling submissively, "Good day, Brother Dog, Brother Dog."
Behind his back, he was known as Dog Three, but to his face, one must call him Brother Dog.
After all, standing behind Dog Three was none other than Huang Batian.
In the north, Sister Ling; in the south, Boss Huang, a single call to arms, and Cang Hai trembles!
This was someone who could make Cang Hai City shake with just a wave of his hand!
Dog Three ignored the greetings and went straight to the front row.
Only three people were seated there, one being the third richest man in Cang Hai City, a real estate tycoon, Shi Yuan. The other two were Lin Tian and Wang Yuan.
Seeing Dog Three approaching, disgust flashed across Shi Yuan's face, but he hurriedly stood up, smiling, "Brother Dog, what brings you to enjoy yourself here today?"
Without giving him a glance, Dog Three said directly, "You have the right to sit in the front row as a real estate tycoon, but once Boss Huang arrives, you…!"
Before Dog Three could finish, Shi Yuan quickly interjected, "Brother Dog, I understand, I understand. I'll move to the back right away."
Shi Yuan promptly moved to the fourth row.
Dog Three seemed pleased, then turned his gaze to Lin Tian.
He scrutinized Lin Tian, noticing that he hadn't seen this character in Cang Hai City before.
"Who are you?" he asked.
Wang Yuan, with his head down, tugged at Lin Tian's sleeve, urging him to leave quickly.
But at this critical moment, leaving was likely not an easy option.
Lin Tian didn't want to cause trouble, but when trouble came, it didn't mean he was afraid of it!
He said, "My name, you don't need to know."
"Hmph!"
Gou San grunted, surprised by Lin Tian's brash response.
"Kid, in Cang Hai, our Boss Huang is the sky. You'd better honestly answer my question, or else, if heaven wants you dead, you won't survive."
Lin Tian felt some anger, for Gou San was far too arrogant; it was as if everyone had to treat him like a lord before he would be satisfied.
He hadn't had the chance to speak when Feiyan on the stage, angrily said.
"Gou San, in Cang Hai, Boss Huang may be the sky, but if Sister Ling hears what you just said, it might not be good!"
Li Linglong and Huang Batian, equal in strength, jointly held up the sky of Cang Hai. Gou San's words had directly overlooked Li Linglong, and if this spread, it might cause trouble.
He felt a bit nervous, but still brazened it out, "Feiyan, don't nitpick or look for faults where there aren't any. Women are just women, always looking for trouble out of nothing."
Feiyan, enraged, tapped the ground with one foot, invoking her True Yuan, and her body floated down from the stage.
"I'm not looking for trouble without cause, but Manchun Hall here is Sister Ling's territory. What are your intentions by coming here?"
Gou San said, "I came here of course to watch you dance. Not only did I want to, but our Boss Huang is also coming. Not only is he coming, but he's also going to participate in the Beast Fighting Competition this afternoon. The title of King of Fighting Beasts, this year, Boss Huang is determined to win."
At those words, Feiyan and everyone else were taken aback.
"What?"
"Boss Huang wants to get involved in the beast fighting affairs."
"Looks like Boss Huang is not satisfied with the status quo, he wants to go against Sister Ling."
"Boss Huang is too ambitious, but it's uncertain whether his appetite matches. Sister Ling's business isn't something he can swallow if he wants to."
..., ...
Everyone was talking at once. Li Linglong and Huang Batian each occupied half of Cang Hai City, and up to now, they had kept to their own waters. But today, Gou San's sudden mention of Boss Huang wanting to get involved in beast fighting spelled trouble, indicating that Cang Hai City was in for a storm of blood and violence.
Feiyan was a notable figure herself, one of Li Linglong's women. By disrupting her dance right there, Gou San wasn't just disrespecting her, he was also slapping Li Linglong in the face.
No matter what, Feiyan had to teach Gou San a lesson today; with so many people watching, if this incident were to be downplayed, the word might spread that Li Linglong was afraid of Huang Batian.
Feiyan's eyes narrowed, her men understood and quickly a group of fifty or sixty knife-wielding men charged out from backstage, all of them Spiritual Warriors; the leading few had the cultivation of the Condensed Mirror stage.
With a murderous aura, they quickly surrounded Gou San, their weapons pointed directly at him.
Feiyan said, "Gou San, this is Sister Ling's place. You dare to cause trouble here, Sister Ling will deal with it herself. Men, seize him and hand him over to Sister Ling for punishment."
"Hold on."
Not the least bit intimidated, Gou San licked his lips, speaking ominously.
"Feiyan, our Boss Huang will arrive shortly. My coming early was to clear the field for Boss Huang. There's nothing to it, but if you dare arrest me, then the matter will become serious. If Boss Huang isn't pleased with me, I think, you know what the consequences will be."
There was a hint of menace in Gou San's tone,
Hmph!
Feiyan shouted furiously, "Gou San, do you really think that Sister Ling would be afraid of you? What if Huang Batian is not satisfied? Here in Cang Hai, Sister Ling, is the sky. Seize him!"
