Chapter 141 The Boxing Champion's Challenge
It wasn't until Xiao Chen had been inside the Youzi store for quite some time that Tong Anjin and the other two came to their senses.
"How could Xiao Chen fire Manager Zhou? Does he have a connection with the general manager of Youzi?" someone asked in a daze.
After hearing this, Tong Anjin's eyes gradually cleared, as if she had come to a realization.
"It seems that the general manager of Youzi is from Nancheng. They are all from Nancheng, so they must know each other!" Tong Anjin said indignantly.
"That good-for-nothing actually has connections with that kind of person, it's infuriating!" she gritted her teeth, filled with resentment.
The Youth Pill was something she desperately wanted.
Everything was within their grasp, but because of Xiao Chen, it all came to nothing.
"I, Tong Anjin, have never suffered such a great loss in my life, twice in a row! Damn Xiao Chen! Why doesn't he just die!" Tong Anjin had lost control and was roaring and venting her anger.
The two young masters were also furious, as they hadn't yet gotten their revenge.
"So what if he has a relationship with General Manager Youzi? In Jiang City, does he think he can use that relationship to get all the power and influence?" one person sneered.
“Exactly, especially since this is the black market!” another person agreed.
"We can't swallow this insult. No matter if the Xiao family protects us or not, we must take revenge today!" The two reached an agreement and began to discuss it on the spot.
"Fighting is prohibited in the black market, but it's allowed in the fighting arena. If there's a conflict, you can issue a challenge outside..."
"The black market is a mixed bag, with many desperate criminals who walk the line between life and death. They'll do anything for money!"
As the two discussed the matter, their smiles gradually turned sinister.
"What are your plans?" Tong Anjin asked.
"I know a boxing champion in the fighting arena who used to be a mercenary. He's known for being able to take on a hundred men single-handedly, and he'll do anything for the right price!"
"Let him challenge Xiao Chen in public first. If he's afraid of death and doesn't dare to accept the challenge, he'll lose all face. Once he leaves the black market, he'll be bedridden for the rest of his life!"
After hearing this, Tong Anjin revealed a ruthless expression.
"I support you. Even if something goes wrong, I'll stand with you!" she said solemnly.
……
Xiao Chen inspected the Youzi store for a while and gave the staff a fresh lesson.
The black market personnel informed Xiao Chen that their branch leader had compiled the intelligence and requested his presence.
Xiao Chen walked out of Youzi Makeup Studio, got into their shuttle bus, and went to meet them.
But the car hadn't gone very far before it was forced to stop.
In the middle of the road ahead, a burly man stood blocking the lane.
He was tall, probably two meters high, with bulging muscles that gave him an impactful, explosive sense of power.
"Boxing champion Ling Xiao, what do you think you're doing? Who gave you permission to block the road?" the driver shouted sternly.
In the black market, who would dare to block a shuttle bus?
"Who is this person?" Xiao Chen asked.
"He's the underground boxing champion here, named Ling Xiao. He used to be a mercenary. He's very strong and often fights in the arena to earn money for gambling. He has an undefeated record and a pretty good reputation," the driver explained to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen nodded, his face expressionless.
Ling Xiao's arrival was ill-intentioned; his eyes were fixed on him, and anyone could tell he was there for him.
"Ling Xiao, get out of the way! What's wrong with you?" The driver yelled again when he saw that Ling Xiao was still blocking the road.
Ling Xiao grinned and pointed at Xiao Chen.
“I want to challenge him!” he said sullenly.
"How dare you! This is our honored guest! Don't cause trouble here!" The driver's expression changed, and he started cursing.
“According to the rules of the black market, I can challenge anyone, including the branch leader,” Ling Xiao said calmly, unconvinced.
“Someone has offered me money to fight him. I have already issued the challenge. Of course, he can accept or refuse.”
The driver was so angry his face turned black, but he couldn't refute it.
"With so many people watching, as a VIP of the black market, you must be very powerful. You didn't even dare to accept Ling Xiao's challenge. You'll probably be ridiculed..." Tong Anjin and the other two walked out from the side, and one of the young masters said sarcastically.
Xiao Chen instantly understood that Ling Xiao was the one they had found.
"Xiao Chen, aren't you so capable? Go to the fighting arena and show me what you're really made of!" Tong Anjin goaded him, with an expression that said, "You're nothing special."
"Kid, if you've got the guts, come with me to the fighting arena. I won't kill you, but if you don't accept the challenge, things might get complicated outside..." Ling Xiao said with a cruel grin.
"Mr. Xiao, I'm so sorry to have disturbed you. I'll notify the relevant personnel to handle this matter immediately," the driver said to Xiao Chen with trepidation.
Xiao Chen waved his hand to stop him.
"Ling Xiao, right? Are you sure you want to challenge me?" He got out of the car and asked seriously.
“Not bad, the boxing champion is personally challenging you, do you dare to accept?” Ling Xiao asked with a mocking expression.
"Although you are not qualified at all, I agree nonetheless," Xiao Chen said indifferently.
Ling Xiao paused for a moment upon hearing this, then laughed.
The onlookers all looked on with strange expressions.
This is an underground boxing champion, a heavyweight fighter with an undefeated record in the fighting arena...
Compared to him, Xiao Chen was like a tiny creature.
I'm afraid he'd be flattened with a single slap.
Tong Anjin and the other two looked on with disdain.
They all felt that Xiao Chen was spouting nonsense and being overly pretentious.
"Interesting... I haven't seen anyone this arrogant in a long time." Ling Xiao smiled, almost impatient.
"Let's go to the fighting arena and practice properly." Ling Xiao turned around.
"This is fine, don't waste my time," Xiao Chen said impatiently.
"Hmm?" Ling Xiao turned around, his brows furrowing and his face darkening.
“Black market rules forbid fighting outside, and I don’t want to challenge those rules.” He looked displeased.
Xiao Chen glanced at the driver.
The driver understood immediately and said loudly, "Ling Xiao, if our esteemed guest says it's okay, then it's okay. On behalf of the black market, I approve your fight here."
"This……"
Everyone present was stunned.
This kind of exception has never happened before.
After all, those who dared to challenge the rules of the black market in the past never had a good ending, and the black market would never break the rules it set for itself.
Ling Xiao's expression was uncertain, but he nodded after a moment.
"Here is fine too, but I won't be responsible if blood gets splattered on the ground."
After speaking, he took a few steps forward, staring at Xiao Chen, his gaze gradually becoming sharp.
"Kill him!" The two young masters stared expectantly at the scene, ready to see Xiao Chen suffer a brutal beating.
"I don't have time to play with you," Xiao Chen said.
Ling Xiao's gaze sharpened, his face growing increasingly grim. He was about to sneer and say "arrogant"...
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen's figure suddenly flickered in his eyes, turning into a series of afterimages.
In an instant, Ling Xiao's expression changed, and he became alert.
But he reacted too late.
In an instant, Xiao Chen appeared before him.
At that moment, sensing the oppressive atmosphere in the air, Ling Xiao's pupils contracted, and the hairs on his body stood on end...
