“I will –” The scary-faced man couldn’t finish his sentence when a chilly voice spoke up from behind.
“With the young master from Sen Yu Group here, we don’t dare to be discourteous. I was rude last time. I’m really sorry.” Despite the words of apologies, there was no real intention of actually apologizing.
Li Xin shifted her gaze over to the car behind the scary-faced man. That person didn’t seem fierce, pompous or murderous but still took others by surprise. Li Xin’s interest was further piqued.
Those words turned the fiery crowd silent.
The scary-faced man was slightly faltered by the information then coldly scoffed. “Turns out you have powerful backing, is that why you were so arrogant?”
Xiao Yun shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. “So what if I’m arrogant?”
The man was instantly speechless.
The mysterious person hiding inside the car spoke up again, “The young master of Feng Yang Group can naturally be arrogant.”
Xiao Yun stiffened up. A finger, placed on top of Jun Qi’s shoulder, unwittingly tapped once. Jun Qi shook his head. Xiao Yun’s true identity was only known by Jun Qi and Wu Sen. On the outside, Xiao Yun was one of the racers in the underworld. Nobody could’ve guessed he was the young master of Feng Yang Group—a multinational corporation in New York. It seems his true identity was not that simple.
“Since you already know, say what it is you want?” Wu Sen crossed his arms over his chest and stared at the mysterious person inside the car with indifference. This person knew their true identities but still purposely blocked their paths, which meant this person also had influential power. Since it has turned out to be like this, they might as well cut to the chase. There was no need to care about the other racers surrounding them. Those people didn’t even have the abilities to be considered an underling.
“From what I know, the CEO of Feng Yang Group had issued an announcement that they were hunting for their escaped young master. I think this news is going to travel fast.”
Xiao Yun’s face darkened. Capturing him and forcing him to marry some woman, don’t even dream about it! He didn’t have enough fun yet. Over his dead body will he marry some woman who only had family backing and nothing else to talk about.
Having heard those words, Wu Sen knew immediately the person was threatening them. He asked coldly, “Conditions?”
“It’s very simple. There’s a car race 3 days later in Washington. We hope the young master of Feng Yang Group would join and represent us. In return, we will censor news regarding the young master; thus guaranteeing the young master will be able to continue to have his fun.”
Xiao Yun furrowed his eyebrows. Representing someone else or representing himself, he didn’t mind. However, who knew if the news about the illegal race would be kept on the down-low or not? Feng Yang wasn’t as small as a pea. Feng Yang had its own source of information. His grandpa wasn’t someone they could easily deceive.
“Isn’t your condition a bit too much?” Wu Sen had also thought about Xiao Yun’s worries. He stared intently at the yellow car.
“If it’s only information censoring, we wouldn’t dare to open our mouths to make the request. However, the young master had been too hasty in his actions yesterday. Because of a small disadvantage, he appeared in our territory and started smashing things. Smashing things wasn’t a big deal either. It can be treated as our apology towards you, but there was a present I had prepared for a special guest that was destroyed as well. Why wouldn’t this loss be calculated in?” As soon as the sentence was finished, an arm reached out from the car and handed something to the scary-faced man.
That man looked at Xiao Yun with delight as he passed over the item for the three of them to examine. The three guys lowered their heads and realized it was a playback video that had recorded a scene of Xiao Yun smashing and destroying furniture and equipments. Wu Sen tossed Xiao Yun a glare. If he couldn’t handle the matter with efficiency and covertness then he shouldn’t have acted at all. This was clearly reaping what one has sowed.
He opened up a brocade box.
Jun Qi, who had been quiet all this time, finally made a sound. “He accepts the request, but he can’t guarantee the race ranking.”
“Not a problem. I believe that the person known as the Flying Leopard in the world of underground racing isn’t mediocre. Great, I will take care of everything and definitely will not disappoint you guys. With regards to the fees, I’ll be fair. See you guys again in Washington. Oh right, please give your father my greetings.” The mysterious person inside the car said to Jun Qi.
Jun Qi suddenly got out of his car and walked over to the yellow car. With a grin, he said, “You should also give your boss my greetings.”
A few seconds later, the yellow car’s door slowly opened. A man with a tall nose and blue eyes, approximately 30 years old, with a stoic face stepped out and held his hand out to Jun Qi. “I will definitely deliver the message.”
Jun Qi smiled politely and shook the man’s hand.
“Tch, it’s ended already. There was nothing interesting.” Li Xin watched the group of cars leave and disappointedly lay down on the steering wheel.
Xiu Shui was sitting next to her and she was scared to the point her face was pale white. Trembling, she tugged on Li Xin’s arm and asked, “Is it over?”
Seeing Xiao Yun’s crestfallen expression, Li Xin pulled Xiu Shui out of the car and ran over towards the three guys. She was curious as to why they had given in so quickly. No matter how expensive the present may be, Xiao Yun’s family had the money, so why had they instantly agreed to the request?
Noticing Li Xin’s confused gaze on the broken jade, Jun Qi chuckled and explained, “It’s because he didn’t use his eyes and blindly smashed everything. In truth, this jade isn’t a rare item but the person who gifted it and the person who received it are people we can’t go head-on against. For that reason, he’s going to have to risk his life to compensate.”
Listening to the explanation, Li Xin realized that Jun Qi had a full understanding of the situation.
Next to him, Wu Sen furrowed his eyebrows. “Who was that person? Do you know him?”
Jun Qi’s smile disappeared. In a serious manner, he replied, “Qi Clan’s people.” At the moment when the person reached his arm out of the car, Jun Qi had seen a red falcon tattoo on the man’s wrist with the help of the car’s headlights. The tattoo represented the status and position within the Qi Clan. Consequently Jun Qi had quickly agreed to the condition.
“Qi Clan? Xiao Yun, you should feel lucky that you’re the young master of Feng Yang.” Upon the mention of Qi Clan, Wu Sen was startled as he said with a grim face.
Xiao Yun silently cursed in his head.
The Qi Clan was one of the biggest crime syndicates in the underworld. They were infamous for their ruthless and cruel methods as well as their heartlessness. A simple step could make the entire underworld shake and tremble. Xiao Yun’s family was considered one of the influential and powerful businesses in mainstream society but they still didn’t have the guts to directly oppose the Qi Clan.
It looks like they had really given him some face this time. If it was someone else, he would’ve probably already lost his life without a chance of a cordial conversation. Then again, Xiao Yun had Wu Sen and Jun Qi’s support. They were probably showing those two some respect as well.
