"I can help, but I cannot reveal my identity."
Yang Shoucheng laughed heartily, "Of course! This afternoon, I'll have Xiong Fei come out, and you can meet."
Wu Zongnian's eyes lit up. Although he was in finance, he had always harbored a dream of the martial world since childhood. He asked, "Can I participate?"
Yang Shoucheng chuckled, "Brother Wu, it's best you just watch the excitement. Leave the fighting and killing to the professionals."
Not long after they sat down, a portly middle-aged man hurried over. He laughed and said, "Boss Yang, Brother Yang, my apologies!"
The newcomer was Hai Dalu. Yang Shoucheng glanced at him and asked, "Hai Dalu, where is your brother-in-law?"
Hai Dalu laughed again, "I've dealt with that scoundrel. Boss Yang, I'm here to apologize."
Yang Shoucheng replied, "You flatter me."
Ye Tian observed. Hai Dalu was accompanied by two middle-aged men, one tall and one short. The taller one seemed to be a practitioner of external martial arts, possessing deep skill. The shorter one's gaze was sharp as lightning, suggesting he was skilled with weapons. Both were clearly masters!
Hai Dalu stayed for a couple of drinks and then took his leave. After he left, Yang Shoucheng asked, "Younger brother, did you see the two men with him?"
Ye Tian responded, "Are they the ones?"
Hai Dalu continued, "They are only two of them. I heard there's one who is the most skilled, but he usually stays hidden."
Ye Tian mused, "Likely a master of Qi Realm. But it doesn't matter, as long as they aren't at the Divine Realm Martial King level, I can handle them."
Yang Shoucheng beamed, "With you, brother, I have at least a ninety percent chance!"
The group ate and chatted, and in the afternoon, they returned to Yang Shoucheng's home.
After about half an hour, a square-faced man entered the Yang residence. He possessed a unique aura, exuding power and confidence with every glance.
Yang Shoucheng smiled and introduced, "Old Xiong, let me introduce you to Ye Tian, Martial King Ye! He is also the divine physician Ye who saved my life."
Xiong Fei cupped his fists towards Ye Tian and said, "Greetings, Martial King Ye!"
After a brief exchange, Yang Shoucheng got to the point, "Old Xiong, your matter rests entirely on Brother Ye. He will protect you and deal with those experts. However, the rest is up to you. Your success will depend mainly on your own charisma."
Xiong Fei stated calmly, "My old brothers are all prepared. As long as those martial world figures are dealt with, I have a ninety percent chance of success."
Yang Shoucheng nodded, "Alright, tell us what we need to do now."
Xiong Fei looked at Ye Tian and asked, "Martial King Ye, forgive my presumption, but may I call you brother?"
Ye Tian replied, "Boss Xiong, there's no need for formalities. Just call me Ye Tian."
Xiong Fei continued, "Brother Ye, we will act tonight. As long as you can control the situation and subdue those martial world figures, I will have a way to reclaim my position."
Ye Tian agreed, "Understood."
Xiong Fei suddenly knelt on the ground, "Thank you!"
Ye Tian helped him up, "You are Old Yang's friend, it's only right that I help."
That evening, Lin Ziyi and Yue Qingning went to a back room to talk, while Wu Zongnian and the others sat in the living room.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Ye Tian and Xiong Fei got into a car. After an hour's drive, they arrived at a large courtyard where many people were gathered.
As Xiong Fei arrived, the crowd saluted in unison, "Boss!"
Xiong Fei nodded and pointed to Ye Tian, who was wearing a Sun Wukong mask, "This is the expert I've invited. You can call him Master Tian."
The crowd respectfully bowed, "Master Tian!"
Xiong Fei asked, "Brothers, are you ready?"
"Ready!" the crowd roared in unison.
Xiong Fei nodded, "Good, let's go!"
"No need to go," a chilling voice suddenly echoed from the rooftop.
Everyone was startled and looked up. Unbeknownst to them, a figure in grey stood on the roof. In the darkness, his eyes shone like cold stars, instilling a sense of dread.
