Chapter 325: Brothers Meet (4 more updates, please subscribe)
Gu Beifeng laughed and said:
"The supermarkets and malls in Magic City are plentiful. It used to be a super city with over 20 million residents, but now we only have around 200,000 people. Naturally, there's a lot of leftover food. I believe it's the same in Wentian City. Don't play coy with me. From now on, let's have a meeting once a month. Today is considered our first meeting. Next month, we will hold the meeting in Wentian City and give Gu Beifeng a good grilling. Sound good everyone?"
"Good, of course, good!"
Everyone unanimously cheered.
Du Tianxing called over some boys and girls from the schools to serve as waitstaff and help with the food transport and the provision of utensils.
Yang Xiao was taken aback and suddenly saw a young man and exclaimed:
"Zhou Jian, is it you?"
Zhou Jian was also startled as today he came to help. Seeing Yang Xiao, he was overjoyed.
"Brother Yang, it's you?"
The two immediately shook hands and hugged.
Zhou Jian had thought before that Yang Xiao might be a senior official of some city but never guessed that Yang Xiao was a City King.
Reuniting after over a month, both were overjoyed and immediately started chatting.
"Brother Yang, you haven't met Gong Yu yet, have you?"
Zhou Jian asked because Gong Yu had always been at Dongli College, always together with Zhou Yu and Xi Hui, so naturally, Yang Xiao hadn't seen him.
Little did he know, upon hearing this, Yang Xiao sighed deeply and said sadly:
"I was one step too late. Gong Yu has already been killed by Xie Dong from Magic City University. I haven't even avenged him yet."
Zhou Jian was stunned,
"How did you know Gong Yu was killed by Xie Dong?"
"After arriving in Magic City, I personally went to Ice River Academy and encountered a person called Wang Meng. He, along with a group of people, tried to kill me, but I killed them instead. Only Wang Meng escaped. It was Wang Meng who personally told me that Gong Yu was killed by Xie Dong."
"Pfft!"
Zhou Jian couldn't help but laugh.
Yang Xiao was baffled, not understanding Zhou Jian's reaction, and just as he was about to get angry, he heard Zhou Jian say:
"Brother Yang, you've been deceived. Gong Yu is fine; he's still at Dongli College."
"What?"
Yang Xiao immediately grabbed Zhou Jian, overflowing with excitement.
After all, he considered Gong Yu as a brother and knowing that Gong Yu wasn't dead, one can imagine how thrilled he was.
"You're not lying to me?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
"Then take me to see Gong Yu right now."
"Alright!"
Zhou Jian immediately led Yang Xiao away.
138 City Kings were all drinking, toasting, chatting, and boasting in a lively atmosphere. No one paid much attention to Yang Xiao leaving with Zhou Jian, thinking he had just stepped out.
Yang Xiao followed Zhou Jian to another teaching building which now served as dormitories.
Just a few days ago, Gong Yu, along with Zhou Yu and Xi Hui, had returned from harvesting Ice Fish at East Sea. Today, they were just resting in the school after lunch, casually chatting.
Zhou Jian pushed the door open and shouted:
"Gong Yu, come out and see who's here."
Gong Yu was startled. Did he even know anyone here?
Then, he saw Yang Xiao.
The two just stood there.
Gong Yu had long known from Zhou Jian that it was Yang Xiao who had sent them to take care of him, which is why there was that rescue at East Sea.
Seeing Yang Xiao, Gong Yu choked up, and the two hugged each other, tears streaming down their faces.
Yang Xiao was also very emotional, patting Gong Yu on the back, and said:
"Good brother, we meet again, and no one will dare to bully you anymore."
Gong Yu choked up, unable to speak. Ever since he returned from the desert and had his hand chopped off by Xie Dong, he had lost all his friends from Ice River Academy and had become utterly alone.
In his heart, Yang Xiao was not only a friend but also a brother and a family.
He also knew that Zhou Jian and others treated him well, all because of Yang Xiao's face. Zhou Yu had once told him about how Yang Xiao had helped them in the desert.
Yang Xiao patted Gong Yu's shoulder, his gaze stopping on Zhou Yu's left forearm.
The entirety of the lower half of the left forearm was gone, leaving Gong Yu's left sleeve empty.
Before, Yang Xiao had only heard that his left hand was amputated, but seeing it with his own eyes now, his inner rage burst forth like flames.
His face changed dramatically, becoming fierce and terrifying.
The others like Zhou Jian, watching this, felt a chill.
"Brother Yang?"
Zhou Jian called out.
Yang Xiao looked at Gong Yu and said through gritted teeth:
"Gong Yu, brother is here today. Your enemy is my enemy. Whoever chopped off your hand, I will chop both of his hands, returning the favor double. Come on, brother will take you to take revenge."
Yang Xiao grabbed Gong Yu's right hand and walked outside.
Gong Yu, panicked, immediately said:
"Brother Yang, I...I'm okay, it's over, I don't hate him, I lost because I was not as skilled, let's leave it in the past."
How could Gong Yu not harbor hatred inside? But he was more afraid that Yang Xiao would suffer retaliation from Xie Dong and others because of this. Although Yang Xiao was formidable, he was only at the Enhanced Gene Primary Level, how could he fight against Xie Dong at the Enhanced Gene Advanced Level?
Moreover, if Yang Xiao rushed to Ice River Academy to challenge Xie Dong, even if Xie Dong was not his opponent, would the numerous masters at Ice River College let Yang Xiao kill Xie Dong?
Yang Xiao looked at Gong Yu, smiled slightly, and said:
"You're worried that I'm not a match for Xie Dong? Worried that I won't be able to kill Xie Dong at Ice River Academy? Today, I will show you my skills. I also want everyone to know that whoever messes with my friends will pay double the price. Let's go."
Yang Xiao, holding Gong Yu's hand, hurried off.
Gong Yu, not wanting to hurt Yang Xiao's pride and self-respect, could only turn to Zhou Jian for help.
Zhou Jian actually felt a bit guilty towards Yang Xiao, and dared not stop him, only saying:
"Brother Yang, isn't it inappropriate to go to Ice River Academy like this? Besides, aren't you currently attending a banquet? Even if we are to go, shouldn't we let our Boss Du know first?"
Yang Xiao laughed and said:
"Don't worry, I'm going to find Du Tianxing right now. I'm not just going to Ice River Academy to kill Xie Dong; I'm going to do it in front of your Boss Du."
Zhou Jian and others were shocked. Yang Xiao's tone was so bold, not even placing Du Tianwang in his eyes. This is Magic City after all, Du Tianxing's territory. Isn't Yang Xiao killing Xie Dong in front of Du Tianxing like slapping Du Tianxing's face?
But they couldn't speak bluntly, as that would be like slapping Yang Xiao's face, who was their lifesaver in the desert.
Zhou Jian and Gong Yu, amongst others, were anxious. They did not want Yang Xiao to recklessly go to Ice River Academy to seek revenge against Xie Dong, as it was bound to be humiliating.
Zhou Jian and the others nervously followed Yang Xiao to the classroom where the banquet was taking place, where Yang Xiao pushed the door open and walked in, with Zhou Jian and the others standing at the door.
Du Tianxing and Gu Beifeng were looking around for Yang Xiao, and when they saw him push the door and enter, Du Tianxing immediately walked over, put his arm around Yang Xiao's shoulder, and said:
"Brother Yang, where have you been? I was looking everywhere for you, come, you can't dodge this drink."
Zhou Jian and the others at the door were bewildered, wondering since when Yang Xiao became so close to Du Tianxing.
Usually, Zhou Jian saw Du Tianxing with utmost respect, who would dare to call him brother like Yang Xiao?
Yang Xiao smiled, took the cup, and said:
"Brother Du, after this drink, you have to do me a favor."
Du Tianxing laughed and said:
"Whatever it is, as long as Brother Yang asks, I, Du someone, will follow through."
