Chapter 963 - 965: Gathering of Heroes
Seeing Gao Shengnan and Situ Qing, these two female tyrants ready to fight at the drop of a hat, the onlookers around them fell silent. Neither of these two families could be easily offended, so all they could do was keep quiet. No matter who won or lost, they would act as if they hadn't seen anything!Otherwise, they would undoubtedly be avenged later, and it would be a miserable, miserable revenge!
Everyone present was aware of the grudge between Situ Qing and Gao Shengnan. Since they were eleven or twelve, these two girls had been at odds!
Though both were stunning beauties, their rivalry was not about looks but their own strength!
The battle had raged for over a decade, with no decisive outcome. Whenever one side won, within a month, the other would suddenly come back strong and suppress the opponent!
In this way, their feud had lasted for many years, with countless innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire during their clashes!
Of course, those unlucky enough to be harmed could only chalk it up to bad luck. What else could they do? Demand an explanation from both families?
"Alright, you two, stop it. You used to be such good friends as kids. How did it come to this, meeting as if you were enemies?"
Situ Qing's father, Situ Huajian, called out to the two girls, bringing Situ Qing back.
Gao Zhishang also ordered Gao Shengnan to sit down. Then, he exchanged a glance with Situ Huajian, both showing a hint of a bitter smile!
After hearing Situ Huajian's words, Gao Shengnan and Situ Qing looked at each other and then, in unspoken agreement, returned to their seats without another word!
The exact cause of the enmity between the two women was known to no one but themselves, not even their mothers!
"Hmph, after today, they'll be adversaries. Why did you stop Qing'Er from fighting that girl from the Gao Family?" said a middle-aged man sitting beside Situ Huajian, whose features resembled Situ Hao's. He was Situ Hao's father, Situ Huaqiang, the eldest son of Patriarch Situ Zhantian.
"Brother, whether they become adversaries or not, we have enough people as it is, and among the younger generation, we have Hao'Er and the others. Qing'Er is just a girl, after all. I plan to send her abroad to study in a while!"
Situ Huajian smiled bitterly after hearing his brother's words.
"Hmph! Anyway, let me warn you, you'd better know your priorities!" Situ Huaqiang snorted coldly, exuding authority, as if the one being reprimanded wasn't his brother but his household servant!
Sitting silently, Situ Qing understood her father's decision. Others thought her father was weak!
She knew that her father was truly wise. In a large family like the Situ Family, open and secret struggles were innumerable. If not for her father's non-involvement, he might have long fallen at the hands of her uncle, Situ Hao's father, Situ Huaqiang!
Unknowingly, darkness had fallen outside. Lights came on in the Battle Martial Hall, and many people were nearly asleep waiting, yet Yun Hao was still nowhere to be seen!
Is this Yun Hao coming or not? If he's not coming, couldn't he at least make a call? Seriously, how shameless can he be?
At this moment, Situ Qing was inwardly complaining.
Though she found Situ Hao and his group displeasing, she also doubted Yun Hao would dare to face off against them, considering Situ Hao's formidable strength!
"Brother Bai, do you know if your nephew is still coming or not? If not, I'll arrange for everyone to dine at the hotel we've booked in advance!" Situ Huaqiang stood up, addressing Bai Lang not far away, clasping his fists in the air and smiling.
But that smile reeked of insidiousness and deceit!
"What do you mean, Situ Huaqiang? Our boss hasn't arrived yet, and you're ready to wrap things up!" Just then, a group of people entered from outside the Battle Martial Hall, led by Long Shaoyang, head of Dragon Scale and Yun Hao's uncle. Following him were four people, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Wei Hongda, and Tang Rou!
"Long Shaoyang, you still know how to show up. I thought you'd be hiding out at Dragon Scale's headquarters for life, like a turtle. What, did you come to collect your nephew's body today?"
Upon seeing Long Shaoyang, Situ Huaqiang sneered coldly, his expression chilling!
"Heh, did your Situ Family have shit for breakfast? So foul!" Long Shaoyang sneered, leading his group to a nearby seat, nodding to Bai Lang and the others at a distance.
Hearing the sharp words exchanged between Situ Huajian and Long Shaoyang, the guests invited to watch suddenly felt a twinge of regret. Originally, they thought it was just some small-time upstart who had somehow provoked the Situ Family's eldest son and grandson, not expecting to find such big names here!
First, Patriarch Situ Zhantian himself appeared at this duel. Not only that, but beside him was an elder whose status was definitely not inferior to Situ Zhantian's!
Following that, Bai Lang and Gao Zhishang were present. Bai Lang was recognized as the number one person in Huaxia! Many would never get the chance to meet him in their lifetime, yet here he was!
Now, Long Shaoyang, head of Dragon Scale, also arrived. Every single one of them was a big shot!
Even among those invited, there were many from large families, but even their family clan leaders had to treat these people with caution when encountering them!
And that wasn't all; as they ruminated, another group entered!
Nangong Feng!
When the crowd recognized the man leading, they were all thrilled!
Nangong Feng was a remarkable figure, a top figure in Huaxia's business world, with the Nangong Family spanning almost half of Earth. Wherever there were people, there were Nangong Family industries!
Nangong Feng was the current Patriarch of the Nangong Family, and it was rumored that his own strength was quite formidable!
"Didn't expect even Brother Nangong to show up. Truly a rare guest!" Even though Situ Zhantian knew the reason for Nangong Feng's arrival, he still stood up to politely say something.
"Heh, you're challenging my nephew, so of course, I had to come! To ensure my nephew isn't bullied by you lot!" Nangong Feng chuckled lightly. His demeanor suggested no conflict, as if chatting with an old friend. But as his words reached everyone's ears, it was like thunderous explosions!
