Chapter 877 Misjudged Someone

 

“Very important,” said Ouyang Xiuyuan.

“What’s the content?” asked Fang Yu.

Ouyang Xiuyuan looked up, meeting Fang Yu’s gaze, without answering the question.

“Can’t say? Alright.” Fang Yu nodded slightly.

“Brother Fang, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my people back…” said Ouyang Xiuyuan.

Fang Yu sighed softly, extending his right hand and placing it on Ouyang Xiuyuan’s shoulder.

Ouyang Xiuyuan’s body trembled as he looked at Fang Yu.

“Xiuyuan, achieving any goal is a personal matter, and others cannot criticize,” Fang Yu said. “But there must be principles. That is, don’t harm innocent people.”

“This principle is something I should have told both you and Huaixu before.”

“You can remain silent about something bad, but you cannot be the one who orchestrates it. That’s my stance.”

Hearing Fang Yu’s words, Ouyang Xiuyuan’s face turned pale. He said, “Brother Fang, I understand this principle, but this deal is really important to me. Besides, you don’t even know that female celebrity, so just consider it a favor for me…”

Before he could finish, Fang Yu shook his head.

Indeed, for Fang Yu, this would be effortless.

He didn’t know Qiu Kelan.

Letting Ouyang Xiuyuan take her away would have no impact on him.

But… this matter had nothing to do with who the person was.

It was a matter of principle.

Ouyang Xiuyuan’s behavior greatly disappointed Fang Yu.

It even reminded him of someone from the past.

If others were doing such things, Fang Yu wouldn’t interfere, nor could he.

But since it was Ouyang Xiuyuan… out of their past friendship, he was willing to step in.

Ouyang Xiuyuan’s expression darkened, and he closed his mouth.

“I just want to meet a woman. Is that so difficult for you people!?” At that moment, an impatient voice came from behind.

Delaqi, accompanied by his followers, walked to the private room where Qiu Kelan was and kicked the door open.

“Your Highness Duke…” Lei Heshan followed behind, trying to persuade him.

“With your pathetic performance, you still expect me to be your guide? Keep dreaming!” Delaqi cursed.

Meanwhile, he entered the private room.

Screams erupted from inside.

Fang Yu glanced at Ouyang Xiuyuan and prepared to walk toward the room.

Ouyang Xiuyuan raised his hand, attempting to stop Fang Yu.

He knew that once Fang Yu intervened, everything would be completely over.

“Are you sure you want to do this, Xiuyuan?” Fang Yu turned to look at Ouyang Xiuyuan, his gaze becoming sharp.

Ouyang Xiuyuan’s expression changed, and he lowered his raised hand.

Fang Yu gave Ouyang Xiuyuan a deep look, then walked toward the private room.

Inside the room, Delaqi had already grabbed Qiu Kelan with both hands.

Qiu Kelan, with tears in her eyes, struggled desperately.

Fang Yu entered from behind, immediately drawing the attention of Delaqi’s followers.

“Who are you!?”

Several followers didn’t waste words and directly attacked Fang Yu!

“Bang!”

A loud explosion shook the entire room!

Delaqi’s followers screamed in pain as they were sent flying, crashing into various walls around the room.

By now, Delaqi had noticed Fang Yu’s arrival.

He released Qiu Kelan and turned to face Fang Yu.

Seeing Fang Yu’s face, he frowned.

This man looked somewhat familiar…

“Don’t bother trying to remember. We did meet once at the Chimera Snowfield,” Fang Yu smiled.

“It’s, it’s you!?” Delaqi immediately recalled the man who had easily killed Murray, mocked them, and even silenced the Archangel!

How could he appear here!?

Alarm bells rang in Delaqi’s mind!

He clearly remembered the scene of Murray’s miserable death…

Therefore, he deeply understood how terrifying this man’s power was!

In a fight, he had no chance of winning!

“What, what do you want?” Delaqi asked, his face filled with terror.

“Nothing much, just wanted to say hello,” Fang Yu smiled.

“Is, is she your woman? I, I apologize!” Delaqi glanced at Qiu Kelan, who was crouching on the ground crying silently, and hurriedly said.

Fang Yu shook his head and said, “She has no relationship with me.”

“Then you…” Delaqi was confused, not knowing what Fang Yu wanted by suddenly appearing.

Behind them, Ouyang Chengdao stared at Fang Yu and Delaqi, his expression constantly changing.

At this moment, Ouyang Xiuyuan walked over.

“Dad, should we…” Ouyang Chengdao asked in a low voice.

Ouyang Xiuyuan looked at Fang Yu and Delaqi, took a deep breath, and shook his head with a gloomy expression.

“If we just let Mr. Fang take action, then our plan…” Ouyang Chengdao’s face changed as he asked.

Ouyang Xiuyuan didn’t speak, just staring ahead.

Fang Yu extended his right hand and placed it on Delaqi’s shoulder.

Delaqi’s body trembled slightly.

But out of his dignity as a duke, he gritted his teeth, trying not to appear cowardly.

“I came here for business and never offended you. If you dare to harm me… you’ll become an enemy of the entire Western Region!”

“Fool!”

Hearing these words, Ouyang Xiuyuan’s face turned ashen.

He knew Fang Yu well.

Challenging Fang Yu at a time like this was simply seeking death!

“Oh? You can represent the entire Western Region?” Fang Yu smiled and asked.

“Release your hand immediately!” Delaqi said, turning his head.

At this moment, Lei Heshan didn’t dare to speak.

He knew that all these people were not ones he could afford to offend; by staying silent, he wouldn’t offend anyone.

Delaqi saw the Ouyang father and son standing behind and shouted, “What are you standing there for!? If anything happens to me, you can forget about ever connecting with our Angel Church!”

Hearing this, Ouyang Xiuyuan and Ouyang Chengdao’s expressions changed.

And Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Angel Church?

The deal Ouyang Xiuyuan mentioned was about connecting with the Angel Church?

The Angel Church was the number one power in the Western Region.

Ouyang Xiuyuan’s Ouyang family was merely the top family in the capital of Yanxia, and the two sides weren’t even in the same league.

Moreover, the Angel Church was a foreign power, certainly facing resistance from Yanxia.

Yet Ouyang Xiuyuan was going against the norm, seeking cooperation with the Angel Church… what exactly did he want to do?

“Come help me now!” Delaqi roared.

Delaqi didn’t dare to strike first! He knew the consequences of doing so!

“Bang!”

But at that moment, Fang Yu suddenly punched Delaqi in the face.

The sudden punch gave Delaqi no chance to dodge.

“Ah…”

Delaqi screamed in pain, flying backward and crashing through the corridor wall.

Fang Yu’s figure flashed as he followed.

Suddenly, extreme silence returned to the private room.

Whether it was Tang Xiaorou, or Zeng Xiaomei who had been slapped, or the frightened Qiu Kelan, all wore terrified expressions.

Especially Zeng Xiaomei and Qiu Kelan.

They never imagined that the quiet, reserved young man accompanying Tang Xiaorou could be so powerful…

“Master Ouyang, what should we do now…” Lei Heshan asked tremblingly.

Ouyang Xiuyuan’s face was extremely grim.

He glanced at Qiu Kelan on the ground, then at Tang Xiaorou, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

If it weren’t for these two women, nothing would have happened today!

But he also knew that he couldn’t touch these two women now.

Ouyang Xiuyuan took a deep breath, looked at the broken wall, and said, “With good luck… we might still see Delaqi. With bad luck… prepare to collect his corpse.”

After speaking, he snorted coldly and left.

Ouyang Chengdao, with an ashen face, followed him.

Lei Heshan stood stunned, not knowing what to do.

Tang Xiaorou, meanwhile, was pale and trembling.

The look in Ouyang Chengdao’s eyes just now made her heart nearly burst.

It was terrifying.

The murderous intent contained within seemed as if it would tear her apart.

But this old man had met her before.

He had seemed very friendly then.

How could today be so…

Tang Xiaorou bit her red lips, forcing herself to calm down, and walked toward Qiu Kelan.

…

“Boom!”

Fang Yu grabbed Delaqi’s head all the way, taking him away from the Arts Center to the mountains behind.

Having been punched in the face, Delaqi now felt dizzy and weak all over.

“Ouyang Xiuyuan sought cooperation with you just to connect with the Angel Church?” Fang Yu asked.

Delaqi groaned in pain without answering Fang Yu’s question.

“Do I need to punch you again before you’ll consider answering my question seriously?” Fang Yu said coldly.

“…No, no… I, I only know they want to speak directly with the Archangel Archbishop. As for the rest… I really don’t know,” Delaqi answered with difficulty.

“How did they contact you… or rather, what did they offer that made you interested in dealing with them?” Fang Yu asked, narrowing his eyes.

Delaqi again hesitated, not answering.

Fang Yu raised his knee, hitting him in the abdomen.

“Puh!”

Delaqi spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Don’t force me to kill you,” Fang Yu said.

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk…” Delaqi, in extreme pain, answered, “He, he provided us with some intelligence that interested us…”

“What intelligence?” Fang Yu pressed.

“Information about Yanxia’s martial arts world, including the recent Martial Arts Association, the Half-Spirit Clan, and some ancient ruins,” Delaqi gasped, saying, “They said they could provide any intelligence we wanted… whatever we need, they can provide…”

“So… what do you need?” Fang Yu continued.

Delaqi hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and answered, “Recently… we learned that the Northern Capital’s Martial Arts Association is in trouble… we want to… completely destroy Yanxia’s martial arts association system, allowing the Angel Church’s power to infiltrate.”

Hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Fang Yu’s eyes. He asked, “Ouyang Xiuyuan, he agreed to this request?”

“This is the most basic requirement… otherwise I wouldn’t have come all the way to the Northern Capital to meet him!” Delaqi answered, enduring the pain.

“Are you sure he personally agreed?” Fang Yu frowned and asked.

“Certain! He specifically came to the Western Region to find me and discussed it face to face!” Delaqi said firmly. “He said that as long as they could speak directly with the Archangel Archbishop, he would provide us with intelligence sufficient to bring down the Northern Capital’s Martial Arts Association…”

“Crack!”

Fang Yu chopped the back of Delaqi’s neck, knocking him unconscious.

“I… still misjudged someone,” Fang Yu murmured, gazing at the distant Northern Capital Arts Center.
