CHAPTER 572: AFTER THE MODIFICATION: CHAPTER 572 SCARED, MAY NOT GO

Duan Nanye was pondering when Ye Guichen spoke up, "Uncle Wang, I think Brother Duan must have told you about my identity. Since this matter involves the King of Hell, who has harbored a deep-seated hatred for me, I won’t be able to sleep soundly until he is dead. So, do you have any suggestions, Uncle Wang?"

Ye Guichen spoke very politely.

He was confident that Wang Xiao could understand his meaning.

Sure enough, seeing that Ye Guichen did not answer his question directly, Wang Xiao smiled and did not continue.

After all, there was plenty of time; he was just testing the waters earlier.

If it had been an ordinary young master, hearing him suggest matching Wang Ying with him, he would probably have jumped for joy.

To his surprise, Ye Guichen remained calm and composed, completely unmoved by Wang Xiao’s words.

Unconsciously, Wang Xiao’s opinion of Ye Guichen rose again.

He was confident in his granddaughter’s looks, even though she was a bit older than Su Jiu’er, she was in no way inferior to Su Jiu’er.

Becoming his grandson-in-law would definitely be a stepping stone to great heights.

However, not only did Ye Guichen not agree, but he also seemed a bit embarrassed.

This was truly being unaffected by favor or disgrace.

"Girl, go and bring my best Longjing tea. We’ll chat while we drink," Wang Xiao instructed, leading Ye Guichen and Duan Nanye to a nearby pavilion.

After taking their seats, Wang Xiao glanced at Duan Nanye, "Little Duan, tell Xiao Ye about the current situation in Jinling."

"Alright!" Duan Nanye nodded, "If I say anything incorrect, Uncle Wang, please add on."

Clearly, Duan Nanye knew a bit about how audacious the King of Hell was.

Moreover, from his demeanor, it seemed he had sought Wang Xiao’s help before, but Wang Xiao had not agreed.

Ye Guichen listened attentively.

After speaking for more than half an hour, Ye Guichen had a general understanding.

It turned out that the King of Hell’s arrogance was not only related to Azure Dragon Commerce, but also to a mysterious sect behind it.

According to the investigation during this period, that sect was likely the same one that caused Azure Dragon Commerce to purchase the Seven-colored Lotus Jade.

The sect’s name was Eternal Life Hall.

So far, even Wang Xiao only knew the name of the sect behind Azure Dragon Commerce; he knew nothing about its members or its location.

Though the King of Hell had joined Azure Dragon Commerce for some time, his position within it had always been mediocre.

Eager to prove himself, the King of Hell naturally spared no effort in disrupting the underground world.

In Jinling, on the surface, Azure Dragon Commerce had reached the point of absolute dominance.

However, in the underground world, Azure Dragon Commerce had not achieved complete unification.

Seeing the King of Hell as a useful pawn, Azure Dragon Commerce naturally let him act as he pleased.

Not only that, Azure Dragon Commerce was also eyeing the Wang Family and had explicitly stated that if the Wang Family dared to intervene, they would show no mercy.

For this reason, Wang Xiao feared that Jinling would become chaotic and did not dare to act rashly.

But now that Wang Ying had appeared at Longwang Villa, Azure Dragon Commerce would surely get the news and come to hold them accountable.

Having heard all this, Su Jiu’er was indignant, "Grandpa Wang, you are the King of Jinling. Are you really afraid of a mere Azure Dragon Commerce?"

Wang Xiao gave Su Jiu’er a look but said nothing. Duan Nanye, however, smiled bitterly, "Jiu’er, you don’t understand. If it were just Azure Dragon Commerce, Uncle Wang wouldn’t have to worry. But now it involves the forces behind Azure Dragon Commerce. Moreover, if we’re not careful, the whole of Jinling could fall into chaos, which is what Uncle Wang does not want to see."

"Therefore, I initially wanted you and Brother Ye to step forward to attract the King of Hell’s attention. I would hunt him down from the shadows. If we could eliminate the King of Hell without anyone knowing, that would be best. But the King of Hell was too cunning. If it weren’t for Brother Ye, I might have died in Longwang Villa, and my men and Miss Wang would have been implicated as well. I am truly ashamed!"

Duan Nanye, feeling deeply embarrassed, stood up and gave Ye Guichen a solemn bow: "Brother Ye, I need to thank you properly!"

Ye Guichen stopped Duan Nanye: "Enough. This is no time for unnecessary words. The King of Hell will not give up easily. We must confirm his whereabouts as soon as possible. Even if we can’t kill him, we must at least eliminate his supporters to prevent further complications."

Wang Xiao smiled bitterly: "Easier said than done! Azure Dragon Commerce is watching us closely. If we make any moves, they will definitely intervene. It’s as if my hands are tied, I can’t do anything."

"Grandpa Wang, what are you afraid of? We have Brother Ye here!" Su Jiu’er leaned closer to Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen did not move, only sensing a fragrant aroma wafting to his nose.

Though he had seen Su Jiu’er’s body before, it was when he was treating her illness, and he had no impure thoughts.

Now that this girl was throwing herself into his arms, he couldn’t help feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Wang Xiao, having seen through Su Jiu’er’s act, did not expose her. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he pointed at Wang Ying, who was pouring tea: "Right, there is a place where we might find many of Yama Hall’s assassins. Since Xiao Ying is already involved with Longwang Villa, let her go with you."

"Where?" Duan Nanye and Ye Guichen asked in unison.

Wang Xiao took a sip of tea: "The underground gym."

"The underground gym?" Duan Nanye and Ye Guichen were startled, somewhat puzzled.

Though the King of Jinling hadn’t intervened in the underground world, he had investigated.

Soon, the King of Jinling outlined his findings.

It turned out that there was an underground gym in Jinling.

Everyone who could enter there was from the underground world; ordinary people were not allowed in.

That place seemed to be under Azure Dragon Commerce’s control, holding boxing matches daily, a significant source of income for them.

Since the King of Hell and his Yama Hall men joined Azure Dragon Commerce, as assassins they had fewer missions.

But those people were all ruthless, killing without blinking. Aside from engaging in the King of Hell’s tasks to disrupt the underground world, they spent their free time pursuing women.

However, another activity attracted their interest.

That was the boxing matches.

It was said that the stakes for each match were very high, with someone earning billions in one night.

The assassins of Yama Hall found a sense of purpose, frequently participating in the fights, not only to earn extra money but also to seek bloody thrills.

So, that underground gym often gathered quite a number of Yama Hall’s assassins.

If they could catch them all in one go, it would be a harsh blow to the King of Hell, significantly weakening his power.

"There is such a place?" Duan Nanye’s eyes sparkled.

Previously, Ye Guichen had stolen the limelight at Longwang Villa. This time, he wanted to redeem himself, showing a strange excitement in his eyes.

Wang Xiao, however, appeared somber: "But I need to remind you that place is still Azure Dragon Commerce’s territory, hosting likely over a hundred Yama Hall assassins. With Azure Dragon Commerce secretly and openly protecting them, making a move is extremely difficult."

Upon seeing Ye Guichen remain silent, Wang Ying mocked: "Of course, if you’re scared, you don’t have to go."
