Chapter 69: Wei Dagang Was Also Beaten by Me!

Chen Zhe, though holding a wine bottle in his hand, posed no threat to Lin Yang and received a solid slap across the face, sent flying, his cheek swelling instantly. The hostesses were all frightened, their faces pale with terror, fearing they might be next to be struck.

The madam had already called Leopard Brother, who, trying to sound fierce but inwardly nervous, said, "Don't do anything reckless. The Phoenix Palace is not a place where you can act as you please. Leopard Brother will be here soon!"

"I'll wait for him," Lin Yang replied, and simply sat down.

Wang Shenglan held his burning cheek, eyes nearly spitting fire. But before Leopard Brother arrived, Wang Shenglan dared not provoke Lin Yang again, lest he suffer another blow.

Dou Jun and Chen Zhe, faces red and swollen, stood beside Wang Shenglan.

"Lin Yang, you have some nerve, daring to hit Young Master Wang. I want to see how you'll escape today!" Dou Jun cursed silently.

Soon, Leopard Brother entered with his men, surveying the scene in the private room. His subordinates were personally trained, formidable fighters—two of them even reaching the second rank.

"A bunch of useless fools—get out of here!" Leopard Brother barked coldly.

The injured bodyguards scrambled out of the room, stumbling and crawling.

"Leopard Brother, you're finally here! Get this bastard. Today, I want him dead right here!" Wang Shenglan, emboldened by Leopard Brother’s arrival, finally dared to shout again.

"Yes! Kill him!" Dou Jun and Chen Zhe echoed.

Leopard Brother nodded, "Rest assured, Young Master Wang. Now that he's offended you and injured my men, there's no way he'll leave Phoenix Palace alive."

With that, Leopard Brother fixed his gaze on Lin Yang.

"Kid, I'll give you a chance—state your name. Maybe you can save your life."

Leopard Brother had been in the underworld for years, no fool. Seeing Lin Yang’s extraordinary bearing and his boldness in Phoenix Palace, he suspected Lin Yang had some backing, so he cautiously asked.

"You’re not qualified to ask my name," Lin Yang replied, crossing his legs.

Leopard Brother’s brows furrowed. Though displeased, he felt a twinge of apprehension—could this man really have connections?

"Leopard Brother, don’t worry. He’s just Qin Monong’s godson from Xingyao Group," Wang Shenglan reminded him.

"Oh? So that's it!"

Leopard Brother, hearing this, cast aside all doubts.

"Qin Monong’s reputation is not enough for you to do as you please here in Phoenix Palace."

"Enough with the nonsense," Lin Yang said, unwilling to waste words with Leopard Brother, and struck first.

Leopard Brother’s strength was similar to Jiang Zuofeng’s, but he was utterly no match for Lin Yang. As soon as Lin Yang moved, Leopard Brother reacted instantly, clenching his iron fist and focusing all his energy.

Lin Yang launched a punch; Leopard Brother roared and chose to meet it head-on with his own fist.

The outcome was obvious—Leopard Brother was sent flying by Lin Yang’s blow, his right arm fractured on the spot, his body crashing heavily into the wall-mounted television, sparks flying.

The private room fell silent, as if invisible hands had choked everyone’s throats.

This was Phoenix Palace’s top fighter, the notorious Leopard Brother, a sixth-rank expert, defeated in one move by Lin Yang?

"Brother Yang… you…" Zheng Nanxu, seeing Leopard Brother, was pale with fear, unable to stop trembling, now even more shocked.

"I told you, a sixth-rank is nothing," Lin Yang smiled.

Wang Shenglan and Dou Jun, who had just been shouting, finally came to their senses, their faces ashen, like mourners.

They could never have imagined that Leopard Brother would be defeated by Lin Yang in a single blow.

"Are there any other experts here?" Lin Yang asked.

No one dared make a sound; everyone finally realized they were facing a true master.

Leopard Brother, his arm broken, climbed up from the floor, face pale. "I never imagined you were so deeply hidden. My eyes failed me. You’re free to leave Phoenix Palace anytime."

"No hurry, the matter isn’t over," Lin Yang replied.

"What, do you intend to wipe us all out? My boss is Wei Dagang, a prominent figure in Luocheng. Don’t think you can do whatever you want here just because you have skills," Leopard Brother said in a low voice.

"Wei Dagang? He should be in the hospital, fighting for his life," Lin Yang sneered.

"How do you know?" Leopard Brother asked in surprise.

"Because I’m the one who injured Wei Dagang," Lin Yang replied.

At these words, everyone’s expressions changed dramatically again.

Wei Dagang was not someone to be trifled with—he had been in Luocheng’s underworld for over ten years, ruthless and vicious.

Behind Wei Dagang stood one of the Four Grandmasters, Cheng Kuo.

The entire Western District belonged to the Cheng family, so people called it Cheng’s Quarter. Wei Dagang was merely Cheng family’s dog.

Especially for the madam and the hostesses in Phoenix Palace, the one they feared most was Wei Dagang—the high and mighty figure.

Xin Xin’s face was filled with shock, her beautiful eyes shining with a hint of reverence. She could hardly believe that this young, handsome man before her had managed to injure Lord Wei.

She felt she might have missed a chance to change her fate.

Zheng Nanxu swallowed, and quietly asked, "Brother Yang, is it true?"

"Do I look like I’m lying?"

"When did you hurt Lord Wei? Weren’t you singing in the private room all along?" Zheng Nanxu asked in confusion.

"When I stepped out for a bit," Lin Yang replied with a smile.

Zheng Nanxu was so stunned he couldn’t speak—a trip to the restroom, and Lin Yang had sent Wei Dagang to the hospital.

"You really injured Lord Wei?!"

"That’s right! So using Wei Dagang to threaten me is laughable," Lin Yang said.

Leopard Brother’s mouth twitched twice. "But do you know who’s behind Lord Wei?"

"One of the Four Grandmasters, Cheng Kuo, right?"

"If you know, then surrender now! Do you realize the consequences of offending a Grandmaster?" Leopard Brother said.

Lin Yang’s lips curled in disdain. "Wei Dagang is just Cheng family’s dog—don’t flatter yourself. What’s beating a dog? Cheng Kuo’s son, Cheng Weiyi, I’ve beaten him too. What can they do to me?"

Lin Yang’s words shocked everyone again.

He even dared to hit the Grandmaster’s son?!

This was madness—utterly outrageous!

"Lin Yang, keep boasting! Go ahead, make your lies bigger! If you really injured Cheng Weiyi, would you still be standing here alive? Who are you trying to scare?" Dou Jun scoffed in disbelief.

"Believe it or not, it’s up to you."

Lin Yang couldn’t be bothered to explain, and continued, "Dou Jun, you’d better think about whether you’re crawling or lying on your way out of here."

"I… you…" Dou Jun’s face was unspeakably ugly. He had wanted to humiliate Lin Yang and Zheng Nanxu, but instead, he was the clown.
