DRAGON DIVISION [Dragon Division]

DRAGON DIVISION [Dragon Division]
Chapter 66-70


Chapter 66: In-Law Will Come to Huaxia


- At night -


After hearing the strong recommendations from Wang Ying, Yan Wei, and Wu Hao, the chief instructor became curious and called his instructor friend in the 5th Military Region.


The chief instructor of the 5th Military Region was actually surprised that the military territory that entered the top ten would come to him to do the headhunting. He smiled bitterly. “If you came a month ago, I'd say no. But now, although I am willing, it is already too late.”


The chief instructor of the 8th Military Region frowned. "Huh? She quit?"


"No. He loves this profession and he also proved his worth, but unfortunately, there was an incident in the mission two months ago that caused his comprehensive strength to decline, down from A to C+. To be honest, even though he was not qualified to join the Dragon Division, he was still more than enough to survive in the military territory. However, he was an arrogant man, and he didn't want to stay just because we sympathized, so he took the initiative and left. I arranged for him to work at Shangcheng so that he could at least have a stable life after he left the military,” the chief instructor of the 5th Military Region sighed and said.


“What kind of incident caused one's strength to drop drastically?” The chief instructor of the 8th Military Region was curious.


“It was a mission that destroyed a private laboratory base. They are very well hidden in the Middle East. We captured investment tracks from different countries that co-sponsored them and found that they often used live humans to conduct genetic experiments. The higher-ups gave the order to destroy it, but unfortunately, Xu Cheng was injected with a genetic product that was damaged during the mission. Our scientists and doctors said that his age might not be long anymore, but I have not told Xu Cheng about it.”


The chief instructor of the 8th Military Region finally realized. “No wonder you will let go of someone as talented as him.”


The chief instructor of the 5th Military Region laughed and said, “Even after his strength dropped to an ordinary person, he is still a soldier of the 5th Military Region. Stop dreaming about paddling him. This kid told me before he left that he'd be back. Although I believe in the old people in the research facility, I have more confidence in Xu Cheng who did miraculous recovery and came back. You already know, we've sent 2 of the Three Swordsmen to the Dragon Division, he's the only signature soldier we have here, so stop daydreaming. I know you guys at Shangcheng already have all the resources and talent, but let me tell you, Xu Cheng is a very loyal man. You guys can give up on that thought.”


The 8th Military Region instructor snorted, “Will I try to find C+? The 20-member team we send every year for military exercises has an average strength of B, he might not even make it into the military training team even though he came.”


The instructor of the 5th Military Region immediately snorted, “Stop showing off my face. You have the population and resources in Shangcheng, so obviously you can find more talents. We've done well enough to be placed on the average rating, considering the 5th rank is in a rural area with a small population and resources.”


“Haha, this year, without the Three Swordsmen, let's see if you guys will be the last. All right, I'm not going to hunt your man, so let it go. When doing the draw later in the military exercise, do not let us face you, or we will give your soldiers a real crisis.”


Then, the chief instructor hung up the phone and went to the ward to look for Wu Hao and the others.


“Head of Instructor, how?” Wang Ying asked with an urgent tone.


“Xu Cheng is indeed a soldier from the 5th Military Region. They had not removed it from the system and had only sent it to Shangcheng to rest at this time. I asked about him. Although you guys said he was very strong, the comprehensive power report that the 5th Military Region provided was C+, so I think we should forget about recruiting him.”


Wu Hao frowned. “Head of Instructor, could there be an error with the score?”


“Oke, let it be. People in the 5th Military Region already explained that they will not let Xu Cheng go because he is their signature,” replied the chief instructor.


After leaving the 8th Military Region, Xu Cheng did not return home. He had already made up his mind, so he did not want the two women in the house to bother him. Suddenly, his phone rings, and he sees his caller ID.


Lin Chuxue's.


Standing on the bridge, facing the wind, looking at the caller ID, Xu Cheng did not know if he should lift it. Recalling back to 4 years ago, when Lin Chuxue's father held this matchmaking, Xu Cheng felt inferior and alone, and he didn't think he was capable of giving Lin Chuxue away, either, daughter of a rich family, happiness for life. So, that night, at the Lin Family home, she rejected her father's proposal to marry Lin Chuxue.


It was also after that night, he and Lin Chuxue would never be able to return to the past as childhood companions. Later, her father, Lin Guiren, dominantly forced the two to marry, but there was already a gap in their relationship and they never crossed the red line. Although they are in the same city or street, they will not look at each other or deliberately start a conversation.


After Lin Chuxue was forced to abandon her aristocratic lifestyle in England and return to Huaxia with her husband, her temperament gradually grew cold, feeling indifferent to anything. Over time, he seemed as if he was living without a heart and had no emotions. All of that made Xu Cheng feel guilty, so he felt, if he owed someone this lifetime, it was Lin Chuxue.


In his eyes, Lin Chuxue was a noble and beautiful woman like a princess. From childhood, from kindergarten to university, he was always the center of attention and someone he could not take his eyes off. However, his father was a British tycoon born in China, but he was an adopted playmate to live under their auspices. Under the influence of the extremely contrasting social status, he felt increasingly worthless to Lin Chuxue. That night, she rejected Lin Guiren's decision for the two of them to get married so that she could restore Lin Chuxue's freedom. He knew, Lin Guiren was doing this just because Lin Guiren was a good friend of his late father, and he also thought that there was no way someone as perfect as Lin Chuxue would like him. Being with her felt more like an act of charity and sympathy towards her,


In a thousand thoughts, the ringtone stopped by itself.


Not long after, his phone rang again, and this time his number was from the UK.


He took.


“Sister-in-law, we'll be leaving in two days. I'm warning you, don't reveal the cold war you're having with my sister. A man's voice sounded from across the phone. He was Lin Chuxue's younger brother, Lin Lei, and he was the only one who knew that Xu Cheng and Lin Chuxue were only husband and wife.


Xu Cheng paused for a moment. “Why did Father and Mother suddenly come to Huaxia?”


Lin Lei: “You can ask yourself. You've been back for four years now, but how come there's no word from my brother's stomach? When you call Dad, he always says he's busy with work, and Dad says he's fed up. I'll call my brother in a minute and tell him too. You guys get ready, I failed to convince them both and they already booked a flight.”


After hanging up the phone, Xu Cheng's brain went awry, not knowing what to do.


He had always been grateful to Lin Guiren and his family. Ever since his father died, Lin Guiren had taken him to England to live with them. He treated her like his own son, and it was precisely because he treated her too well that Xu Cheng rejected his proposal to marry his daughter. He had already received too much from the Lin Family, so he did not want to take Lin Chuxue's freedom as well.


Right now, Lin Chuxue's phone came in again.


Xu Cheng also had to talk to Lin Chuxue about Lin Guiren's schedule. After picking up the phone, the two were afraid there was nothing to talk about and they both said in unison, “Dad and Mom will be coming in two days.”.


Then, the two stopped and fell silent.


Lin Chuxue sighed lightly and said, “You must win no matter what. I will arrange my parents to go to the restaurant first, finish the fight quickly and come after.”


Xu Cheng paused for a moment and replied, “Alright.”


...Chapter 67: Worth the Wait?...


After hanging up the phone, Lin Chuxue pursed her lips. He could only use this as an excuse to support Xu Cheng. Since when did he need to find an excuse or reason to talk to her?


Lin Chuxue smiled bitterly.


He was standing on the balcony of Xu Cheng's house. When Shen Yao came, Lin Chuxue immediately stuffed her phone into the bag.


“Are you okay if you don't come back for two days? Aren't your superiors going to take you to court or something?” Shen Yao held onto the fruit plate and chewed on it while asking.


“Have you forgotten that my family is a big shareholder of the company? I'm basically half boss. When this company was just starting out, we needed capable singers and celebrities to lead the company, and that was why I was chosen to give it a try. The boss would never force anything on me. Currently, we have recruited more new celebrities and trainees, so the company can still function normally without me,” said Lin Chuxue.


“But you are a popular money tree at the moment, it makes no sense if your company does not utilize a gold magnet like you,” Shen Yao pouted and said.


“Money can be obtained at any time, and having money is not necessarily good.” Lin Chuxue recalled how she and Xu Cheng had spent the most opportune time accepting each other because of the gap in their social status and wealth.


Shen Yao smiled bitterly. Looking at the night view from the balcony, towards the crowded city lights, he said in agreement, “Yes, everything changes after the money comes. My father started to attract the attention of bees and butterflies, and lost something he appreciated and wanted to protect in the past.”


Lin Chuxue looked at him and slowly asked, “You still don't want to go home and face your stepmother?”


Shen Yao was a little lost. He looked ahead and shook his head. “Perhaps the scar on my heart has not healed yet, so I don't want to go back and deal with it. After all, with my current resources, I can make enough money to feed myself.”


He then turned around, looked towards Lin Chuxue and asked with a satisfied smile, My big “Superstar, when are you planning to marry yourself? I've heard that there are countless wealthy heirs around you every day, willing to spend millions upon millions for you. Unfortunately I'm jealous.”


Lin Chuxue chuckled and replied, “You yourself said it, I wear a huge superstar light circle, and those people just want to play around with me for the sake of it. Assuming I lose that dazzling hello, maybe I won't be worth it again at that price.”


Shen Yao asked, “So, do you already have a target?”


Lin Chuxue smiled bitterly and shook her head. “I'm not interested in looking for it at the moment. I just want to focus on my music right now. I am only 23 years old, so why should I be anxious?”


“Hey, you came to develop your career in Huaxia alone, sometimes it feels lonely, so you obviously need someone to take care of you,” Shen Yao said.


Lin Chuxue smiled. “So, that's why I came to visit you. Aren't you my best friend who will take care of me?”


Shen Yao rolled her eyes. “Come on, you already threw me under the bus twice. I still clearly remember the scene being surrounded by your fans.”


Lin Chuxue laughed and replied, “That's because you can't believe how popular I am. In the beginning, I even told you to be careful, you yourself revealed my location, and now you blame me?”


Shen Yao also could not help but laugh awkwardly. He met Lin Chuxue in midair. She was a flight attendant, and Lin Chuxue was wearing sunglasses. He was assigned to take Lin Chuxue out of the security check. It was good until he insisted on buying Lin Chuxue lunch, and then they were surrounded by fans and barely came out.


Shen Yao smiled after recalling how they met. On the balcony, he let out a long sigh and said, “I wonder if Xu Cheng can defeat the leader of the North Gate. As a local, I know a lot about the gang leader of the North Gate. He is a merciless man who will use the most brutal means to get what he wants.”


Lin Chuxue looked at Shen Yao in surprise. “You're worried about him?”


He actually objected greatly because Xu Cheng lived with two girls, one of whom even became his best friend. It was hard enough for him to accept it.


"Of course not." Shen Yao immediately refused. “Don't you think this guy is very interesting? He did whatever he wanted and was not conventional at all. Compared to other men, I have never seen someone as attractive as him. To be honest, I think he's pretty reliable. One night, he willingly offends a West Gate casino for the sake of a stranger's family. Just that alone is better than most men I've ever seen.”


Lin Chuxue looked at Shen Yao praising her husband as if it was already her habit, it was unknown what Lin Chuxue's mood was like when she heard this.


But, it was only a nominal wedding, why bother to care? Xu Cheng gave him enough freedom and personal space, then he should also let Xu Cheng enjoy the admiration of other women. But in reality, Lin Chuxue was not happy.


“Do you have a crush on that guy?” Lin Chuxue asked Shen Yao curiously.


“How is it possible?” Shen Yao said with a higher volume, “Where did you get the idea? If I had a crush on someone this easy, I would have had a lot of girlfriends.”


Lin Chuxue let out a sigh of relief. "That's great."


"What?" Shen Yao thought she had heard wrongly. “You really sighed in relief when you heard that I didn't have a crush on anyone? Damn it, Lin Chuxue, do you want me to be alone forever?”


“Well, I just feel like you have to fly around here and there, whoever is with you almost always ends up in a long distance relationship. It was very unreliable, so you better stay single,” Lin Chuxue laughed and said.


“Do not worry, when I find the right man, I will quit this job.” Shen Yao raised her head, looked at the starry sky, laughed and said, “Ran Jing bet with me to see if I was able to make Xu Cheng fall in love with me.”


Lin Chuxue blinked and asked, “You agree?”


Shen Yao nodded. “The whole month's rest was too boring, I had to do something interesting. To be honest, men like Xu Cheng would not easily be kind to women or take the initiative to care for women. So when a guy like him falls in love with a girl, the girl will definitely be very happy.”


Hearing this, Lin Chuxue secretly sighed in her heart. Maybe he never liked me.


“I'm just afraid if she falls in love with me, I won't be able to get rid of her even though I want her.” Shen Yao sighed.


Lin Chuxue pursed her lips then slowly said, “You can give it a try, I can also bet with you.”


He muttered to himself in his heart: I can't believe he'll choose you over me. Even if she falls in love with you, it will be our divorce day, because this love no longer needs to be protected.


“Lin Chuxue, you still don't understand how charming I am? Huh, if you take part in this bet, then I will definitely try my best, ” Shen Yao said with a hand on the hip.


Lin Chuxue was also betting, she was betting on whether their childhood memories and emotions were still there. In fact, Lin Chuxue wished the reason the two of them had remained single for so many years was because the two of them were waiting for each other to speak first. However, he was no longer confident, so he thought it was fine to let Shen Yao give it a try. At least it would help prove whether Xu Cheng still harbored their childhood memories and emotions like him.


“Then go to court him. If you succeed, then I will tell you a secret that I have buried deeply in my heart,” Lin Chuxue looked at Shen Yao and said.


Perhaps that day will truly come, the day on which her marriage will no longer need to be publicized but rather ended.


Chapter 68: Dates of the Duel


– Two days later, in the stadium in the city which can accommodate 3000 people –


This place is already contracted to hold this death match. Although the city government banned the holding of similar events, today's event will determine whether or not the North Gate will be disbanded, and thus city officials decided to turn a blind eye to it. Moreover, the director of the city's police bureau and many officials even came here to watch.


In addition, there were also representatives from the underground forces. After all, everyone wanted to watch a show like this live, even for the first time city officials compromised to allow this fight to take place. If the police representative, Xu Cheng, lost the fight, then the expressions of the police and city officials would be funny to look at.


Many wealthy people also came by the name, such as those who saw Xu Cheng fight earlier in the West Gate casino or those who wanted to witness the power of the leader of the North Gate. Then, there were also people who had previously been offended by Xu Cheng who had come to see how Xu Cheng had been beaten to death, such as Young Master Yun and his companions.


There was also Lin Dong and his brother as well as some of his friends. They've gone into the stadium, looking for a seat, and just waiting for the fight to start.


It was still about an hour away from the fight at 12, and there were already about a thousand people inside the stadium.


Among them, the arrival of representatives from the city police drew a lot of attention. They headed straight for the VIP room.


But what was surprising was that the people from the Shangcheng military region also came. Among them were Yan Wei, Wu Hao, Wang Ying, Shi Wenbing, and their chief instructor. The head instructor originally did not want to come, but he was dragged away forcefully by Wang Ying.


The number of parties that come from the police, government, and even the military makes the stadium immediately become more lively. Taking advantage of the opportunity before the fight started, many people came and greeted them. As for those who openly say they support someone, to whom they are risking their money is another story.


At least 98% of the people attending the event today had at least heard of the power and influence of the leader of the Northern Gate and most knew nothing about Xu Cheng. Therefore, the support provided is almost one-sided.


^^^Representatives of the other three Gates also came. Seeing so many officials coming in, the port trade representative at the East Gate, the representative of the casino operating legally at the West Gate, was, and the food and real estate industry representatives at the South Gate all came to greet each other.^^^


“A very rare guest, you should have told us in advance that you will come so we can prepare more VIP room.” The representative from the West Gate came to shake hands.


The police director lightly snorted and calmly said, “What do you mean rare guests, don't we meet often? I think we will meet more often in the future, maybe in our place.”


This is basically a veiled provocation. The officials greatly underestimated these people.


The four Shangcheng Gates have always been the city's most dizzying black history, and eliminating them was also a mission the police director wanted to complete in each period. But, the foundation of these forces was too deep, the current director strength alone was not enough to eradicate them. However, the police never gave up thinking about this difficult act, and all departments kept a close eye on them in an attempt to arrest someone who was carrying out the act. This was also the real reason why the gang leaders behind these four sects rarely appeared in public. However, this time, Xu Cheng had accidentally triggered the gang leader of the North Gate. The North Gate had lived a very uneasy life, doing the worst of the four Gates, but now they were humiliated by the small patrolmen. If these patrolmen are not punished, the integrity and influence of the North Gate will drop to an all-time low. At that time, it made no difference whether the North Gate was dead or alive and that was why the leader of the North Gate decided to use this opportunity to send two messages to the world: First of all, the leader of the North Gate decided to use this opportunity to send two messages to the world, the leader of the gang was still alive; secondly, he would kill a police officer in front of all the officials to prove their dominant power and how brave they were! it would make no difference whether the North Gate lived or died again and that was why the leader of the North Gate decided to use this opportunity to send two messages to the world: First of all, the leader of the North Gate decided to use this opportunity to send two messages to the world, the leader of the gang was still alive; secondly, he would kill a police officer in front of all the officials to prove their dominant power and how brave they were! it would make no difference whether the North Gate lived or died again and that was why the leader of the North Gate decided to use this opportunity to send two messages to the world: First of all, the leader of the North Gate decided to use this opportunity to send two messages to the world, the leader of the gang was still alive; secondly, he would kill a police officer in front of all the officials to prove their dominant power and how brave they were!


Hearing the police director's words, the representatives of the three Gates only smiled and did not reply. Right now, even if they could win the verbal war, the police would probably be even more strict in dealing with them in the future, so it would be useless. After all, they were just a group that occupied power and resources at first, but were now forced to hide and undergo a transition, and it was the officials who held power. Therefore, it is not necessary to declare war openly against the police. After all, only fools try to fight against the police and the state.


“Bos, we also just want to restart our lives and live legitimately, just give us a chance,” said the people from the three Gates jokingly.


The director smiled thinly. “Of course, a country can give you a new identity when you return everything you obtained unlawfully. Oh right, giving you a new identity just wasn't enough. Your heart and soul are rotten and in need of care. How about this? Working with us for 15 or 20 years treatment? If you do not want to cooperate, we may have to treat you for life.” (Implifies the prison sentence)


The faces of the three representatives darkened slightly.


The moment he finished, the representative of the West Gate slapped him in the face. “Are you qualified to speak here ?!”


The director smiled thinly. “Yes, you must discipline your men well, otherwise we will not know when the problem can come from those loose lips. Okay, it's time to watch the fight, we don't need your hospitality anymore.”


The three representatives received messages to leave, so they had no choice but to walk out with his men back to their seats.


Right after the police director had told the men to leave, a tall and burly man of nearly 50 years old, with a wide friendly smile and wearing a black karate uniform, came to shake his hand.


The director could act mighty in front of the representative but he could not act too arrogantly in front of him, because this person was the gang leader of the North Gate!


“I've long heard of your fame, and I never thought I'd see you on the fight stage my whole life,” the director greeted with a fake smile.


Gate Master Yan laughed and replied, “I'm too old. In the past, I was able to kill on the stage a martial expert who was said to be the best in the entire Southeast Asia. In the blink of an eye, over 20 years had passed, and today I really had to fight a bad boy. Sighs. I guess I have to risk my life to protect things that work.”


The director also laughed and replied, “People will not be able to carry anything when they die. Sometimes it's better to just let go.”


Gate Master Yan nodded, then looked around to about a dozen city officials, he pretended to be flattered and said, “I did not expect so many visitors from the city and the police, now I am a bit worried.”


Director: “Worry about what?”


Yan Gate Master: “Worried if I kill the patrol officer later on, the police and army will surround this place.”


“We approve death match, so we won't do it.” The director smiled and continued, “But of course, if Mr. Yan is unable to control his men and cause a change to today's events, then I will immediately surround this place.”


In another corner, Shen Yao quietly sat down with Ran Jing in a long dress. Among them sat Lin Chuxue with a hat and sunglasses. At that moment, his phone rang.


He immediately picked up the phone after seeing her number.


“Kak, we are here. Where are you and my brother-in-law?”


Lin Chuxue quickly replied, “Lei, take Mom and Dad directly to the Four Seasons Hotel first. I know dad hasn't eaten real Chinese for a long time, so I've booked a table at the restaurant. Take them back to the hotel first, then Xu Cheng and I will come pick you up soon.”


Lin Lei smiled bitterly, “Is this alright? Dad's gonna be mad. He specifically came to see you and Brother-in-law, so I would be beaten if I told him to wait. You know, Dad's still pretty muscular. Otherwise, I would have rebelled and done whatever I wanted.”


Lin Chuxue gritted her teeth and replied, “Can you stop it for me? I'll send the address to you in a moment. I'm busy here.”


...Chapter 69: Conditions...


After Lin Chuxue hung up the phone, she looked at her watch. There were only 20 minutes until the start of the match. Even the gang leader of the North Gate had arrived, but where was Xu Cheng?


It turned out that not only was he confused, but also the director of the police as well as the people from the 8th Military Region. They all looked around to see where Xu Cheng was.


Lin Chuxue prayed in her heart, It's good that she doesn't come too. It was in line with his ever-escaping temperament, but that way he could also endure.


Ran Jing: “Will he come?”


Shen Yao: “Although I am very afraid that he will die if he loses, because he accepted the death match challenge, I would hate him if he did not show up.”


Lin Chuxue: “Maybe he won't come, judging by his emotions.”


Ran Jing and Shen Yao turned their heads towards Lin Chuxue in surprise. “Because of his emotions? Looks like you know a lot about Xu Cheng?”


Lin Chuxue immediately blinked her eyes and replied, “No, I just feel because the gang leader of the North Gate is quite famous, maybe Xu Cheng thought everything over these two days and decided not to come.”


Ran Jing raised his head and then saw a figure standing upright at the entrance of the stadium. The 1.9-meter-high figure stood tall and sturdy, blocking some of the incoming sunlight so that people immediately noticed it.


She said, “She's here.”


The other two girls immediately looked towards the entrance and saw Xu Cheng. After he finished his last cigarette, he threw it in the trash and went in. As he walked, he took off his jacket, revealing a white vest inside as he directly walked towards the stage.


Inside this large stadium, the seats are arranged in such a way that they surround the stage in the middle and the platform gets higher the further the seat distance from the stage. As Xu Cheng descended the stairs and climbed onto the stage, Gate Master Yang sat there with his hands crossed and eyes closed, resting.


Xu Cheng looked around from on stage, not expecting that Lin Chuxue was actually here as well. Even though he was wearing a hat and sunglasses, he was able to instantly recognize him.


When the director's eyes met Xu Cheng's eyes, the director weakly nodded his head.


“Although I did not know him well, just judging from how he had the guts to offend the people of the West Gate casino, I knew he would come today, he said,” said Shen Yao with a beautiful smile as she looked towards Xu Cheng.


Lin Chuxue also looked towards Xu Cheng, and she muttered, “He really changed.”


Ran Jing and Shen Yao were again confused. "Wait what?"


Lin Chuxue quickly changed the topic again. “Nothing, I just feel she is very brave.”


The blond boy Lin Dong stood up, waving and refreshing his sense of presence.


“I risked my money on you! I risked all my pocket money and savings on you!” he yelled.


“Is the boy retarded? Risking his money on that patrolman?” at the scene, Young Master Yun and the others sneered.


The other people smiled cynically, “He is too young and naive, it is only natural that he does not know about the past of Gate Master Yan. In the past, the number of pro fighters who died at his hands was innumerable. If he was not strong and brutal, then he would not have been able to create the Northern Gate. In the past when the law was not strictly enforced, everyone looked to the North Gate.”


“Yes, risking money on Xu Cheng was like throwing it away. A camel that dies of starvation is still bigger than a horse. Even though Gate Master Yan is no longer in top condition, he is still more than enough to face this patrolman.”


“Lin Dong, sit back,” reprimand her brother.


Lin Dong then gave the middle finger to those people before sitting down.


At this moment, Gate Master Yan opened his eyes, and he saw Xu Cheng was already in front of him with his jacket removed. He said to Xu Cheng, “There are still 10 minutes left, do you have any last words?”


Xu Cheng could not help but laugh, and he said calmly, “Honoring the old and loving the young is the virtue of our nation. Last words should be something I asked of you.”


Gate Master Yan laughed. “I have one sentence I want to give you. Today, the older one will see the youngster die before him.”


Xu Cheng was not nervous at all. “I also want to say something to you. If the Angel of Death wants you dead at midnight, you will not be able to live until the next day. Your time's up."


Gate Master Yan still had a smile on his face. “Good, you are quite intelligent with your words, let's see if it matches your actual strength.”


Xu Cheng asked in an indifferent tone, “You may have seen a video of me beating up your men, right?”


Gate Master Yan: “Of course, I will not be arrogant enough to underestimate anyone. I'm giving you a death match invitation because I acknowledge your qualification to be my match. However, I want to say, what you show in the video is lacking one thing, and that is a merciless attitude.”


“That's for sure, because I'm a cop. No matter how wrong someone is, if the law does not impose the death penalty, then we are not obliged to kill them. This is what's different between you and me, and that's the biggest reason I have to kill you today. Your existence greatly affects public order, and I think you have not been able to achieve a breakthrough for many years.”


Gate Master Yan frowned. “How are you so sure?”


Xu Cheng: “Because you will never be able to let go. Not the North Gate, but your thirst for blood. You never reach inner peace.”


Gate Master Yan smirked. “You were right, but I plan to end it all with you, that's why I started the death match. I hope you don't fall easily and let me vent my thirst for blood.


Xu Cheng looked at him and said, “Before we fight, shouldn't you state your attitude towards everyone, including the representatives of the other three Gates, what happens if you lose? You know the police will not take major action to capture the North Gate, and the solution to this problem is you leading the crime.”


Gate Master Yan mused for a moment, then he loudly said to all the witnesses around him, “If today I lose, the North Gate will instantly disperse and will never be there again!”


This speech immediately drew opposition from the core management members of the North Gate. They shouted, “Then what happens if Xu Cheng loses? Shouldn't your officials have signed the land ownership document that should belong to the North Gate?”


Police and city officials were silent.


This document is the right to build. The North Gate had occupied the land and did not want to move, nor was it willing to let another real estate company take over. And, of course, the government will not publish these documents to help them thrive.


The entire area occupied by the North Gate was huge, and many real estate companies wanted to bid every year, yet no one dared to due to the presence of the North Gate. City officials were hesitant, and the police director was increasingly hesitant. If he had not called his friend in the 5th Military Region, then he would have been very confident in Xu Cheng. However after speaking to the instructor in the 5th Military Region, he learned what had happened to Xu Cheng. If Gate Master Yan really won and got the right to build in their territory, the Northern Gate could definitely benefit from this development project and rise up. At that time, he will be the target of public criticism.


^^^Chapter 70: Battle of Physical Attrition^^^^


The police director initially reassured the city officials and said that Xu Cheng would definitely win against the gang leader of the North Gate, and that was why the city officials approved this death match. But then, it turned out that he did not do enough research and only learned after that Xu Cheng's combat strength was declining sharply. Now he is in a deep dilemma.


And now, if he were to agree to the request of the gang leader of the North Gate and then lose, he would definitely be forced to resign.


Of course, if the North Gate could really be disbanded after this fight, then the advantages would also be huge. Right now, everything is a gamble. It was no exaggeration to say that he was risking his career, as well as Xu Cheng's life.


If Xu Cheng died, then he would also owe a lot to his old friend in the 5th Military Region.


The police director looked at Xu Cheng hesitantly, and Xu Cheng also turned around and looked into his eyes. In those eyes, the director could not read any emotional leaks, but he did not look nervous at all.


Seeing how relaxed Xu Cheng was, the director gritted his teeth. He stood up from his seat and said, “Master Yan Gate, if you win, then I will trade my career for this construction project document to be approved.”


"Deal!" Gate Master Yan said in a deep voice, “I believe in Director Tie, you are truly the one who kept your word. It really surprises me how much you believe in this young man. Alright, maybe I can see it for myself today.”


The members of the Northern Gate were overjoyed to hear the news, as if the document had been approved. As long as they got approval, the Northern Gate would be able to completely rebuild their district, and it wouldn't be a big deal to make a few billion dollars and regain the glory the Northern Gate enjoyed in the past. At that time, they would not be looked down upon by the other three Gates.


“Master, kill him!” shouted the people from the North Gate.


“Do you, young man, that almost everyone here is betting that I will win. They all want you dead. Tell me, what should I do now?” Gate Master Yan laughed and said.


“You must tell them that after today, the North Gate will no longer exist,” Xu Cheng replied indifferently.


“Good, it is rare to see a young person like you with the character and courage that dominate this time.” Gate Master Yan suddenly stood up and patted his uniform. He put his palm to the side and stretched.


Li Dazhuang watched as he muttered, “Very unfortunate. If he dies in this fight, how can I challenge him again?”


As she spoke, she accidentally noticed where Ran Jing was sitting, and her face was filled with clouds.


At his side, a colleague snorted, “Only with his courage and the way he does things, you win or not is no longer important. She might have already won Ran Jing's heart. People in the police always admire those with great guts.”


At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, “It's time!”


Xu Cheng raised his eyelids, looked towards the Yan Gate Master, and stretched his neck and legs. He ran to the stadium early so his body became warm, and he also released low-frequency ultrasound in silence.


Gate Master Yan gently took a step forward, giving rise to a feeling of oppressive might. He took another two to three steps and arrived before Xu Cheng, at a speed that ordinary fighters could not. His relentless fighting experience made him understand very well how to attack quickly to finish off his opponent in one move.


The locomotive kick of Yan Gate Master came whistling with the wind, but Xu Cheng already knew of his movements. He took a step back, creating enough distance to avoid his kick. Then, Gate Master Yan attacked with a palm towards Xu Cheng's neck, and Xu Cheng avoided it by tilting his body.


What immediately happened next was that the Yan Gate Master's knee came at him like a cannonball.


Xu Cheng's eyes narrowed. Usually, he had more than enough time to observe the movements of others and give a simple response. However, faced with someone like Gate Master Yan and a series of coherent and fast combos, Xu Cheng's brain was slightly unprepared. It seemed like Gate Master Yan had already planned all of his movements, and there was no doubt at all during the execution of these movements one after another.


However, Xu Cheng could still dodge just in time.


Many people on the stage thought that the Yan Gate Master could at least injure Xu Cheng in five moves, but they had not expected him to dodge all those moves so quickly and even cross behind him. It was very shocking, even Gate Master Yan had to turn around and look towards Xu Cheng and exclaim, “Not bad.”


“Don't you already tell me not to fall easily? Alright, let's see who falls first,” Xu Cheng said, and he just stood there showing no intention to attack. After the initial step, he felt like he was overestimating Gate Master Yan. After all, the decline in combat power due to age was apparent. He was far from his prime, but Xu Cheng did not plan to take this opponent lightly.


After being provoked by a youngster, the eyes of Gate Master Yan twitched, and his hot rage instantly ignited. Xu Cheng was right, this person could not achieve inner peace. He did not want to leave his legacy. For the past few years, he was afraid that people would take revenge on him, but he also wanted to keep the Northern Gate alive. If he could relinquish some of his authority and give more control to the younger generation, perhaps the Northern Gate would be better than it is now. However, it is the stubbornness of his fist that leaves little room for newcomers to thrive, and that is why fewer and fewer people are willing to follow him. Those who were willing to stay behind were only leeches who were only good at kissing. This was also why he had absolute authority in the North Gate.


The speed and techniques of the enraged Yan Gate Master were much faster and more aggressive than before. Clearly, he no longer intended to put on an entertaining show, but rather wanted to finish Xu Cheng off quickly and let him pay for what he did and said.


Xu Cheng did not resist. Through his brain, he could analyze the attack patterns and possible movements of the Yan Gate Master, and he quickly dodged anything that came his way.


Li Dazhuang frowned as he looked at the duel. “Why do I feel this scene is so familiar?”


His friend felt the same way. “I think it's like when you fight it but walk like a dog. Your energy was drained so quickly back then because you put so much force on every punch and kick, he said, and it really lowers your morale and turns off your mood when those punches and kicks miss.


Li Dazhuang's eyes were wide open as he swore, “Who are you calling a dog?”


His friend snorted, “Yeah, you have to admit, you are basically panting like a dog after you missed all those blows.”


Li Dazhuang pouted and refused to accept the reality. But as he looked towards Xu Cheng, he sneered, “How did this fellow have the guts to fight Gate Master Yan? Where does her confidence come from?”


“He's someone who has a brain. His opponent was a man in his sixties, how much energy do you think the old man had? His only chance to defeat Xu Cheng was to rely on his explosive power at the beginning, and Xu Cheng only made him tired.” The police captain suddenly said, “But it has been over 30 moves and Gate Master Yan did not even have time to touch Xu Cheng. Xu Cheng's agility and evasive maneuvers were quite good, he wasn't someone who only used violence. Very good, the police need talents like him, with power and brains.”


Xu Cheng was young and energetic, and dodging naturally would not consume too much energy. On the other hand, Gate Master Yan expended too much energy to execute kicks and punches, and when the attack did not land, his physical strength was drained significantly.


It had been 30 moves and he had failed to deliver a fatal blow to Xu Cheng. Instead, he became a joke from being continuously ridiculed by Xu Cheng. The eyes of Gate Master Yan reddened as he had early signs of an increase in blood pressure.


"How's that? Can you throw a few more? You still haven't touched me. Come, continue.” Xu Cheng looked at the old man's breathless face. He deliberately tried to anger the man over what the old man had told him before: “Don't fall too easily”.
