Chapter 505 Royal Visitors!
“I understand, of course we understand. We’ve been collecting relevant information for over a month now,” Zhao Jidao immediately smiled apologetically when he saw Ma Fan’s slight displeasure.
From a position standpoint, Zhao Jidao was the chairman of a regional martial arts association, while Ma Fan was merely a member of the Yancheng Martial Arts Association, a significant gap.
But facing Ma Fan, Zhao Jidao dared not show even the slightest superior attitude.
This was the status difference between the Yancheng Martial Arts Association and other martial arts associations!
“Captain Ma, I heard you met Fang Yu yesterday?” Zhao Jidao suddenly asked.
Ma Fan’s expression changed slightly as he replied in a deep voice, “Yes, what about it?”
“After all, Fang Yu is one of your targets this time. I wanted to ask your opinion of him,” Zhao Jidao said.
Ma Fan frowned and said, “Opinion? No opinion needed. Arresting Fang Yu is an order from the Xuanwu Group leader. We just need to execute it.”
“Understood, understood.” A strange look flashed in Zhao Jidao’s eyes.
Since their last meeting, he had lost any good impression of Fang Yu.
Not giving him face?
Then he certainly didn’t need to give Fang Yu any face either!
This time the Yancheng Martial Arts Association has sent four Guardian Lords. I want to see how you, Fang Yu, will handle this!
Zhao Jidao wasn’t certain the four Guardians could successfully arrest Fang Yu.
But what he knew clearly was that once conflict broke out between them, regardless of the outcome, the loser would only be Fang Yu!
If Fang Yu couldn’t defeat the four Guardians, he would be taken back to Yancheng, either imprisoned for life in the Heavenly Prison or executed.
If Fang Yu defeated the four Guardians, that would be trampling on the dignity and reputation of the Yancheng Martial Arts Association. The Xuanwu Group would likely come out in full force to execute Fang Yu.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, a luxury car stopped in front of the guild hall.
Four men in green robes got out of the car.
Zhao Jidao immediately went to greet them.
“My Lords, I am Zhao Jidao. I’ve been waiting for you for some time. Please come in…” Zhao Jidao said with utmost respect.
These four men in green robes appeared quite young, looking only in their thirties or forties.
But Zhao Jidao knew very well that these four men were not younger than sixty-five!
They had delayed their physical aging due to their high cultivation realm.
Ma Fan also stepped forward, bowing with clasped hands, “Greetings, my Lords. I am Ma Fan from the Seventh Division.”
The four men in green robes smiled and nodded.
Each of them emanated waves of terrifying aura.
Among them, the man standing slightly ahead was clearly the highest in status.
“I am Gao Yang. These three are my subordinates assisting me this time. Introduce yourselves,” the man standing in front said.
“Yang Shuo.”
“Dong Hegu.”
“Jiang Hua.”
The three standing behind introduced themselves in sequence.
“Greetings, Guardian Lords!”
The high-ranking members of Xiangcheng Martial Arts Association, along with Ma Fan and his team members, all bowed together.
“No need for formalities. Let’s go inside first,” Gao Yang smiled.
Seeing Gao Yang so approachable, Zhao Jidao’s anxious heart finally relaxed.
The last time he hosted Zuo Hongru had left him with significant psychological trauma.
……
Five minutes later, the four from the Xuanwu Group were all seated on the sofa in the VIP room.
Ma Fan and Zhao Jidao sat at the other end.
A beautiful tea lady was kneeling at the tea table preparing tea.
“Chairman Zhao, you should know the purpose of our visit to Nandu, right?” Gao Yang asked after taking a sip of the tea handed to him by the tea lady.
“Yes, is it related to that Fang Yu?” Zhao Jidao asked, his eyes flashing with delight.
Gao Yang nodded and said, “This young man has recently become famous. I’ve heard his name, but don’t know much about him. I heard you were present when he fought with the Martial Saint Chen Luo. Could you tell us about it?”
“What would you like me to say, Lord Gao?” Zhao Jidao asked.
“Tell me your impression of Fang Yu,” Gao Yang said.
Zhao Jidao nodded and said, “I personally witnessed Fang Yu defeating Chen Luo. He is indeed very strong, stronger than any martial artist I’ve ever seen before… but at the same time, he has a quality I really dislike – arrogance! He is extremely arrogant! So arrogant that he killed Xiangcheng martial world’s future hope right in front of us… and he is also a bloodthirsty person…”
Zhao Jidao exaggerated, trying his best to portray Fang Yu as a heinous villain.
Gao Yang and his three subordinates listened quietly.
After finishing, Zhao Jidao observed Gao Yang’s expression, finding that Gao Yang still remained expressionless.
“Tell me about his appearance,” Gao Yang suddenly asked.
“He… looks very young, about twenty years old. But judging from his strength, he can’t possibly be just that age. He must have used some kind of drug or technique to maintain his youthful appearance…” Zhao Jidao said.
“I heard he’s only at the Innate Realm?” Gao Yang asked.
“Yes, the aura he emits is indeed only at the Innate Realm. That’s what puzzles me the most…” Zhao Jidao said.
Gao Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze flickering, lost in thought.
After several seconds of silence, Gao Yang seemed to come back to his senses and stood up, saying, “Let’s go find Fang Yu now.”
Zhao Jidao immediately straightened his back and said, “Lord Gao, I know where Fang Yu lives. I can lead you there right away.”
“Oh? Have you been monitoring Fang Yu?” Gao Yang asked.
“No, Fang Yu is very vigilant. Following him would likely be discovered. But I know the location of his residence and am certain he’s still in Nandu, returning to his residence every day,” Zhao Jidao said.
Gao Yang pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, “In that case, let’s depart immediately.”
The three subordinates exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion.
Why was Gao Yang in such a hurry?
They had just arrived in Nandu and barely had time to settle in.
Before departing, the leader had specifically instructed them to formulate a thorough plan before attempting to arrest Fang Yu, ensuring no further mishaps.
Yet now Gao Yang wanted to go directly to Fang Yu’s home?
“Shouldn’t we plan this more carefully…” Yang Shuo stood up and asked quietly.
Gao Yang glanced at him and said, “No need. We’ll have to meet him sooner or later.”
After speaking, Gao Yang looked at Zhao Jidao again.
Zhao Jidao immediately stood up, secretly rejoicing.
Fang Yu, now you’re finished!
……
At six in the evening, Fang Yu got into Qin Lang’s car, heading to the Starlight Club in Nandu.
“How many people do they have?” Fang Yu asked in the car.
“Prince Joyce arrived on a private jet with dozens of people. However, those truly belonging to the Nord royal family shouldn’t exceed ten,” Qin Lang answered.
Fang Yu nodded and asked again, “What kind of place is the Starlight Club?”
“It’s a high-end private club owned by Xiangcheng’s top aristocratic Li family. It’s not open to the public; only those who receive invitations can attend,” Qin Lang said.
“Alright.” Fang Yu looked out the window.
Qin Lang looked at Fang Yu, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
But Fang Yu seemed to know what he wanted to say and turned his head, smiling, “Are you trying to persuade me not to take action later?”
Qin Lang rubbed his forehead and said, “Yes, Mr. Fang, mainly because…”
“I know. I absolutely won’t act rashly, unless I can’t help it,” Fang Yu said.
Qin Lang smiled helplessly and said nothing more.
The car drove into the suburbs of Nandu, stopping in front of a luxurious building by an artificial lake.
The parking lot at the entrance was filled with various top-tier luxury cars, each worth no less than ten million on the market.
Clearly, Prince Joyce had invited more than just Fang Yu tonight.
Qin Lang accompanied Fang Yu into the Starlight Club.
At the entrance, Qin Lang presented a black card, and the two guards immediately let them pass, bowing respectfully to Qin Lang.
After walking through a long, quiet corridor, Fang Yu and Qin Lang entered a grand hall decorated like a palace.
The entire hall was brilliantly golden and extremely luxurious, bordering on extravagant.
Many guests stood in the hall, conversing with each other, holding glasses of wine.
“Young Master Qin, you’ve arrived.”
At this moment, a handsome man in a suit approached them.
This man was very young, perhaps only in his early twenties.
“Mr. Li.” Qin Lang smiled and shook hands with the man.
“This must be Mr. Fang Yu, whom Prince Joyce specifically mentioned wanting to meet,” the handsome man said, looking at Fang Yu. “I am Li Tian. I’ve long admired your reputation, Mr. Fang.”
