Chapter 18 Xiao Shilang
In fact, Fang Yu also had itchy fists.
Seeing the earnest King of Boxing, he hesitated for a moment and then said: "Alright, since you want to fight, let's have a match. But let's agree, not to hit the face, I make a living with my face!"
The two went to the beachside, facing the slightly fishy sea breeze, which dispersed the heat of the blistering summer day. Standing apart from each other, one on the left and one on the right, their gazes locked onto each other.
When Fang Yu was standing there, they knew that although eight years had passed, Fang Yu's skills had not been wasted.
Even as times change and things are no longer the same, the aura and inherent dominance cannot be changed.
"Give it your all, don't take it lightly," a big shot watching from the side said.
"Okay!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the King of Boxing moved, sand splattered, and dust flew.
Whoosh!
With the speed of a cheetah, in the dim light, he charged directly at Fang Yu, his momentum like a rainbow.
"What incredible speed!"
Fang Yu praised, raising his hand to block.
In that moment as the King of Boxing approached, one lift, one block, one advance, and one retreat.
Bang bang bang!
The moves flowed like water, each one swift and powerful, seemingly simple but harboring deadly threats! A slight mistake could lead to defeat.
Just as he thought he was about to reach Fang Yu's chest, Fang Yu had already countered with a backhand, their hands crossed.
Swish!
The sleeve tore!
The King of Boxing reacted with a counter-move, stepping back to stabilize himself, his face greatly changed!
Although reluctant, he had to admit this fact…he adjusted his breathing and refrained from striking again.
"I lost."
Lost?
Jiang Wei was dumbfounded watching.
Yan Hu, known as a fierce warrior, was also surprised.
Yes, the exchange between the two was brief and seemed simple. But the moment Fang Yu tore the instructor's sleeve, he had already won. Because… Fang Yu could have increased his strength, and then it wouldn't have just been a sleeve that broke, but the whole arm!
Thinking of this, even as the King of Boxing, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
It was terrifying.
Even more terrifying than the rumors in the Military District.
"Thank you, Brother Yu, for showing mercy!" he said earnestly.
Seeing this, the big shot promptly smoothed things over and burst into laughter, "Well fought, well fought!"
Everyone also applauded.
They gathered together and chatted casually.
After a while, the chairman said: "Xiao Fang... with your skills, have you considered joining us? With your abilities, you have great opportunities ahead."
"The current me is not the me from back then. I just want to live peacefully and do ordinary things," Fang Yu said.
"Really?"
"Of course, it's true. President Jiang can vouch for me... I am now a doctor at Hua University Hospital," Fang Yu declared, patting his chest.
Among the group, Jiang Wei found it hard to fit in and just managed a symbolic smile, saying, "Fang Yu is indeed a doctor at Hua University Hospital."
The chairman showed surprise, saying, "I didn't know you're also a medical genius!"
Yan Hu also noticed that the once arrogant and unruly Fang Yu had become sensible and mature.
Time is like a knife; even if it doesn't kill a man, it always leaves scars.
Seeing that it was getting late, the chairman regretfully said, "Well, if you need anything, just come to me."
He then signaled with his eyes to the instructor next to him, and the two turned and walked towards the restaurant door.
Seeing them go, Yan Hu respectfully called out, "Brother Yu!"
This call of "Brother Yu" was filled with excitement and almost brought him to tears.
"We haven't seen each other for years, you've become so polished," Fang Yu joked.
This joke calmed Yan Hu's urge to cry, and he grinned.
"Brother Yu is teasing me again... Where have you been all these years? What exactly happened eight years ago?"
"Nothing much, just took a stroll around."
Yan Hu, seasoned in the world of Jiang Hu, seeing that Fang Yu did not want to say too much, didn't press further.
"Brother Yu, can we talk in private?"
Fang Yu turned to look at Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei was casually eating, appearing indifferent on the surface, but in fact, she heard every bit of their conversation.
"Speak your mind; there are no outsiders here," Fang Yu stated calmly.
Yan Hu was momentarily stunned, then glanced at Jiang Wei, thinking to himself that Brother Yu really had keen eyesight to have chosen such a beautiful wife.
"That Lin Kun insulted you like that, want me to take care of him for you?"
Hearing this, Fang Yu gestured with his hand and said, "Hu Zi... I just returned to Jiangzhou, let's avoid those violent confrontations in the future..."
"——" Yan Hu sheepishly scratched his head.
"From now on, I am a legitimate person, as glorious and sacred as my profession. So... let Lin Kun do as he pleases."
"Hehe... I was just saying, brother Yu, don't take it personally."
"Alright, a big shot from the Military District is here, don't neglect him, go send him off."
"Alright, brother Yu, when I have time, we must drink together! Definitely! Definitely!"
...
After everyone left, Jiang Wei's clear, large eyes, filled with an interrogative look, stared at Fang Yu.
"Don't look at me like that, you seem a bit like a fangirl," Fang Yu said.
"Stop joking around... talk, what's going on?" Jiang Wei demanded seriously.
"What else could it be, the troubles caused by youth, fighting and brawling, also made some friends," Fang Yu said with a relaxed face.
Jiang Wei nodded, unexpectedly he was being honest.
No wonder he knew some martial arts, and knew these kinds of people.
After thinking for a bit, she still said, "Since you've decided to pursue a legitimate profession, better not get involved with those old messes..."
"Of course."
Fang Yu agreed easily, feeling quite touched inside... after all, in this era, not many people would advise him like this.
...
...
Jiangzhou, Xiao Family.
Slap!
Xiao He slammed the teacup in his hand down, looking shocked at Lin Kun sitting opposite.
At this moment, Lin Kun's face was full of grievance.
"What? You're saying that kid is the Iron Fist King! How... How could that be!?"
He couldn't believe it.
But… Yan Hu couldn't be lying... not only because of Yan Hu's current status and identity but also because Yan Hu was one of the brothers of the Iron Fist King back then!
Lin Kun clutched at his chest, full of hatred.
"I must report this to the organization! As long as the Iron Fist King is not taken down, I won't be able to sleep or eat in peace."
Xiao He nodded, also agreeing with his opinion.
"Didn't expect that guy to actually be the Iron Fist King!"
Lin Kun said, "You can't just sit by and watch... I suffered this humiliation entirely because of the Xiao Family. Behind the scenes, I can take action, but on the surface, Qingcheng Group still needs to be handled by you..."
"I understand."
Hearing these three words, Lin Kun flared up, saying, "What use is understanding? All these years, you couldn't even handle one woman!"
Just as Xiao He wanted to retort—
Clang!
The door opened.
A middle-aged man dressed in a Zhongshan suit, hands behind his back, walked in.
"Father!"
"Uncle!"
Both of them hurried to welcome him.
The visitor was indeed the head of Xiao Family, Xiao Yuanshan, nicknamed Xiao Shilang.
"Lin Kun, to think you're a liaison for the Sky Wolf Organization! Foolish!"
In front of Xiao Yuanshan, Lin Kun didn't dare to act rashly.
"Uncle… the Iron Fist King is back."
"I know all about it."
Xiao Yuanshan sat down and said calmly, "Always use your brain, just a mere Iron Fist King, no need to make such a fuss!"
Both were stunned, not understanding his meaning.
"Back then, the Fang Family was so glorious, so arrogant... still they were annihilated overnight. I don't know who titled him the Iron Fist King... in my view, it's just a joke. Don't forget, ordinary people are always ordinary."
Both trembled all over.
"You mean to say, the ones who annihilated the Fang Family back then were..."
"Correct, it was people of the Martial Arts."
Xiao Yuanshan, with eyes half-closed, composed, "What I didn't expect was—he actually had the guts to come back. We don't need to take action, his enemies are much stronger than us here in Yanjing."
Hearing this, Xiao He and Lin Kun suddenly realized.
"Uncle is right; I was blinded by anger, I lost my sense."
"Father's lesson is right," Xiao He said respectfully, "Back then when the Fang Family was annihilated, I didn't expect Fang Yu to actually escape. Back then, the Fang Family was nothing in the eyes of Yanjing Martial Arts Family… now only Fang Yu is left, probably the enemies in Jiangzhou are enough to annihilate him."
Xiao Yuanshan nodded his head in satisfaction.
"Good to understand, for now, don't worry about Fang Yu, focus more on the family's several companies... Also, make sure to caution Xiao Ting, don't let him get involved with Jiang Wei!"
"Yes!"
After speaking, Xiao Yuanshan left with his hands behind his back.
