Free Web NovelChapter 210: Chapter 210: One of the Dark Web’s Taboos
"A person in a black cloak?"
Ye Zhiqiu was slightly startled. "I understand."
After the call ended, she returned to her villa. She poured a glass of red wine, sat on the sofa, and fell into silent contemplation.
People dressed in black cloaks were one of the taboos of the dark web!
’To think that a deathmatch in a place as small as Jizhou would actually attract a Black Cloak!’
’This is not good!’
Ye Zhiqiu swirled the wine in her glass and murmured, "Wanyan Xiong, the Mountain Opening Tiger, the big boss of Jizhou’s underground... He once fought the patriarch of the First-class Martial Arts Clan, the Wang Family, to a draw. He hasn’t fought since. His strength must have at least reached the Venerable level, surpassing that of a Grandmaster!"
"And now, Wanyan Xiong has the help of the Black Cloak and a strange dagger. His momentum is even greater!"
Ye Zhiqiu downed the red wine in one gulp. From her perspective, she absolutely did not want Wanyan Xiong to win.
"But even after mobilizing the dark web in Central State and even the Provincial City, I still haven’t been able to find out which reclusive expert is challenging Wanyan Xiong. Can he actually win?"
Ye Zhiqiu took out a pack of cigarettes and silently lit one. ’Father told me to just observe and not interfere. He must have his own plans.’
...
Yuhai Bay, Shen Family estate.
"In just one day, I’ve... stepped onto the path of a Grandmaster again!"
Shen Zhengye sat bare-backed in a secret underground room, his eyes glinting with sharpness.
’But the energy inside me is still abundant. Could it help me break through to Great Grandmaster in one fell swoop?’
"This Eight Extremes Collapse is truly a heaven-defying Ancient Martial Arts technique!"
’Jiang has shown me too much kindness. To help my Shen Family become a First-class Clan, he’s even fighting a life-or-death battle tonight against that old dog Wanyan Xiong. I can’t let him down. I hope I can achieve another breakthrough before nightfall!’
Ever since his Dantian was repaired, Shen Zhengye had been diligently cultivating the Eight Extremes Collapse.
At the same time, he was also taking the nourishing medicinal formulas that Jiang Xinghai had prescribed for him.

Shen Corporation.
Mi Hong drove Jiang Xinghai back.
"Sister Hong, you’ve been silent this whole trip. Was my performance today a disappointment to you?" Jiang Xinghai asked with a meaningful smile as he opened the door and got out.
"Of course not."
Mi Hong blurted out, then lowered her head, her face flushing.
"Then why the long face the whole way?" Jiang Xinghai teased.
Mi Hong gazed at Jiang Xinghai and glanced at the Shen Corporation office building. "I just couldn’t bear to drop you off."
She knew, of course, that Jiang Xinghai was very close to the Shen Family, and his relationship with the two young ladies of the family was out of the ordinary.
"We’re just parting for a little while. If you miss me, you can just call," Jiang Xinghai said, waving goodbye.
"Can’t you be the one to call me?" Mi Hong pressed.
"Anytime?" Jiang Xinghai stopped and grinned.
Mi Hong clenched her teeth. "I’m available anytime."
She had once made the audacious suggestion that she was willing to maintain this kind of secret affair with Jiang Xinghai. Thinking back on it now still gave her a headache.
At the time, she had just gotten carried away in a moment of passion, her mind clouded by the sudden bliss.
"I have to go upstairs now," Jiang Xinghai said with a wave.
"I’ll wait for you downstairs! We can go to the summit of Luolin Mountain to watch the Martial Arts spectacle together!" Mi Hong called out.
Jiang Xinghai nodded and turned to leave.
After he took the elevator to the ninth floor, he got a call from Ma Long.
"Brother Hai, I just got news. Wanyan Xiong has suddenly postponed going to Luolin Mountain for the fight by two hours," Ma Long informed him.
"Delayed by two hours? It’s fine." Jiang Xinghai shook his head.
Then he suddenly added, "Ma, go check on Wind Leopard. I suspect the Wanyan Family is getting suspicious of him. Be careful."
Wind Leopard was his servant.
Unless Wind Leopard was in a desperate situation, he would have definitely notified him. Instead, Ma Long was the one to tell him first.
After that, the two talked a bit more about the admission tickets for tonight’s deathmatch.
As expected, this was all Wanyan Xiong’s doing.
According to Ma Long’s investigation, every clan of the third class and above in Jizhou would receive two free tickets.
If more were needed, tickets ranged from 500,000 to 5,000,000.
The closer the seats were to the battle, the higher the ticket price, and so on.
Even so, the five hundred tickets for tonight were sold out quickly.
There was a simple reason for this.
For those who practiced Martial Arts, observing a battle between experts could lead to great insights.
As for the tickets, Jiang Xinghai considered it mere posturing and didn’t pay it any mind.
"President Shen, I’m back." Jiang Xinghai walked into the office.
Shen Lingxue, Su Yanyun, Du Fangfei, and Du Fangqing—the four women were chatting idly.
Meanwhile, Shen Lingyin had been sound asleep in the inner suite.
"You’re finally back."
Shen Lingxue saw Jiang Xinghai, who had been gone for nearly a day, and rose gracefully.
"Duke Jiang!"
Du Fangfei and Du Fangqing stood up, their faces filled with delight.
"Huh? Jiang Xinghai’s back!"
In the inner suite, Shen Lingyin was startled awake.
Even now.
Her mind was still racing, trying to figure out how to face this man.
After all!
This very morning, to determine whether she had a gynecological problem, she had given her panties to Jiang Xinghai...
