Hu Pei listened to the words, his eyes narrowing. After receiving reports from his subordinates, he already knew that Tang Yan had started living with Luo Chao, and upon first hearing the news, he was infuriated and smashed everything in the room to pieces.

He was a man with a very strong possessiveness, and couldn't accept his chosen woman being taken by another. However, he couldn't think of a way to deal with Luo Chao at the moment.

A few days ago, a friend from Yanjing mentioned needing to come to Liuhai for help, which sparked an idea in Hu Pei's mind.

"We can discuss Tang Yan's matter later. Let me first introduce a friend to you." Hu Pei changed the topic, calling over a man who was intimately engaged with a female fitness instructor in the distance.

"Hua!"

Called by Hu Pei, Hua Liunian felt somewhat displeased. Couldn't this kid see he was getting somewhere with this hot-bodied beauty? He was just about to successfully score a date, and really lacked any sense.

However, needing his family's assistance to complete the task, Hua Liunian couldn't afford to strain their relationship and reluctantly bade farewell to the beauty, holding back his frustration as he approached.

"What's up?"

"This is Luo Chao, my brother, who once took down Liuhai's boxing king with just one finger," Hu Pei briefly mentioned Luo Chao's illustrious feats.

Luo Chao didn't get up, just sat there watching to see what kind of trick Hu Pei was up to.

"Not interested! What kind of useless boxing king is that, can't even make it to the stage. What's there to be proud of defeating him?" Hua Liunian said dismissively, glancing at Luo Chao with contempt, "You want me to spar with this guy?"

Hu Pei smiled and nodded: "Both of you are my friends, and coincidentally both are practitioners. It's a case of fate meeting talent; how about a friendly match?"

At this moment, Luo Chao had somewhat understood, realizing Hu Pei intended to create a situation by finding someone to have another match with him.

This amused him a bit, and he examined this so-called Hua in front of him. His temples were high and bulging, with a thick layer of calluses on his knuckles, muscles seemingly loose yet exuding a considerable amount of strength.

But so what? At most he's just an ordinary martial arts expert, not comparable at all to a true martial master. This left Luo Chao uninterested, and he was about to refuse.

"Are you kidding me! Is anyone qualified to spar with me?" Hua said impatiently, unexpectedly displeased first, "What if I accidentally kill him? You should think about it."

Damn! That's way too arrogant, I can't put up with that.

Luo Chao was stunned by this person's audaciousness, pondering what gave him such confidence. Do I appear weak, or is he truly a top-tier expert that I've mistakenly underestimated?

Who is Luo Chao? Someone who will never take the slightest loss. Being underestimated like this, his inherently sarcastic mouth quickly retaliated.

"Right! Better not fight, I observe this person's legs trembling, and his energy fading. A doomed fate; cough cough~~ I'm afraid I might cut short his already limited lifespan..."

Hua Liunian, hearing such nonsense from Luo Chao, immediately darkened his face. No one would calmly accept being spoken about like that, let alone someone who's had it smooth since childhood and never defied.

"Do you have a death wish?" He stepped forward, clenching his fists.

Luo Chao didn't want to waste words with such a guy, signaling to Hu Pei: "Stop with the little tricks. I'm here just to tell you not to harass my girlfriend anymore." With that said, Luo Chao stood up to leave.

"Aren't you afraid my father won't support Deputy Mayor Yang?" Seeing his plan uncovered, Hu Pei resorted to threats.

Luo Chao laughed upon hearing this, "This matter was won by my bet. If you go back on it, there's nothing I can do. But still..." his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp: "You better be careful from now on!!"

This strong aura made both Hu Pei and Hua Liunian subconsciously step back. They felt like they were confronting a fierce tiger.

Hu Pei couldn't quite understand why he had this illusion, but Hua Liunian, born into an Ancient Martial Family, had seen many experts and was knowledgeable about such things. He understood this aura was unique to true masters who existed within a domain of formidable presence.

This aura, he had only seen once on a reclusive old boxing master.

His gaze unexpectedly heated up, withdrawing his previous underestimating attitude, tensing his muscles and becoming serious.

"Hu Pei was right; you are indeed an expert. I want to fight you!"

Luo Chao was speechless, wondering what was up with this guy. He was arrogant a moment ago, now why does he have the demeanor of a martial arts enthusiast seeking instruction?

"No fight, no fight, I already said it, your fate is poor. I don't want to bear the responsibility for someone's life!"

"I know I might not be your match, but those who learn martial arts strive to gain the best from various schools. I hope for your guidance!" Hua Liunian persisted, cupping his fists in respect.

He'd been a martial arts enthusiast from a young age, having defeated all opponents in Yanjing at a young age. He challenged many martial arts schools, rarely met competition among his peers, and the elders were reluctant to stoop to his level, leaving this martial arts enthusiast with nowhere to channel his energy except teasing beauties to relax.

This time, his family had business to send someone to Liuhai, and the bored Hua Liunian volunteered for the task. Unexpectedly, he encountered a master of his age yet unfathomable, instantly igniting his passion for seeking a match with a master.

"Fists and kicks have no eyes; if I'm truly not an opponent, and see King Yama, it's unrelated to my brother." Hua Liunian sincerely said, his face filled with earnestness, entirely different from his previous arrogance and disregard.

Seeing things develop to this point, Hu Pei couldn't hold back his laughter. Initially, he thought he'd have to convince Hua Liunian with effort, but now it turned out Hua Liunian voluntarily requested the match, just as he desired.

Now, even Luo Chao's earlier threats were conveniently ignored, helping to persuade: "Brother, fulfill Hua's wish!"

Hu Pei was completely confident in Hua Liunian, not at all considering he might lose, eagerly anticipating seeing Luo Chao beaten soon, relieving his previous resentment.

"I said no fight; what's the matter with you guys!" Luo Chao was getting impatient, feeling these two were too cumbersome, turning to leave.

"Brother, sorry!"

Seeing Luo Chao about to leave, Hua Liunian realized he was about to lose an opportunity to spar with a master, neglected all else, and punched straight at Luo Chao's back.

He believed such a simple attack could surely be dodged by Luo Chao.
