Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 392: Malicious Intent

Su Qingyan hurriedly explained after hearing Xi Mengyu’s words, "No, no, that’s not what I meant, it’s just..."

"If that’s not what you mean, then just go along with Qiming’s plans, or else you’re not giving me face," Xi Mengyu said.

Su Qingyan had no choice but to say, "Well... okay then."

She turned her head and glanced at Chen Fan, showing a helpless expression.

Chen Fan could only communicate through a whisper, "Forget it, just hang out with them a while longer. We can do our own thing tomorrow."

Su Qingyan nodded and said nothing more.

Then, Liu Qiming drove Xi Mengyu’s car and took them to a somewhat secluded bar.

The bar was located in a building with a sense of history; the four entered through the main entrance and hadn’t gone far when they reached the underground.

Before even entering, they heard a series of lively cheers; it seemed that some sort of intense competition was taking place inside. fгeewebnovёl.com

As they walked, Liu Qiming laughed and said, "This bar is unique in Jibei City; there are extremely bloody hand-to-hand fights here every evening, quite thrilling. Sometimes, if the fight gets too rough, people die. You two coming from small places must have never seen anything this exciting, right?"

Chen Fan and Su Qingyan were speechless; they had originally thought Liu Qiming had planned some thrilling activity, but this was it.

Soon, the four arrived at the bar’s main hall, which seemed to have been converted from an underground garage—an impressively large space. In the middle was a ring where two muscular men were engaged in a brutal fight, their faces already streaming with fresh blood.

People surrounded the ring, drinking and cheering, venting the pressure of their exhausting lives.

Liu Qiming and Xi Mengyu became excited as soon as they entered.

Liu Qiming looked toward Chen Fan and Su Qingyan, smiling, "How about that, never seen anything like this before, huh? Pretty thrilling, right?"

Xi Mengyu scoffed, "I guess Chen Fan wouldn’t find this kind of scene thrilling, only scary. After all, only experts can enter the ring, and this guy who’s used to taking hits probably dares not even watch."

Chen Fan curled his lip; both men fighting in the ring indeed had some level of Inner Strength, but such power, he could kill with a lift of his hand—how could he possibly be afraid?

He couldn’t be bothered to argue with Xi Mengyu. If not for Xi Mengyu and Su Qingyan being childhood friends, he would have taken Su Qingyan and left already.

The four arrived at a booth; after sitting down, Liu Qiming ordered some drinks, and soon the server brought them over. Chen Fan glanced at them and realized they were all strong liquors.

Liu Qiming poured the drinks and then looked at Su Qingyan with a smile, "Qingyan, you’re an old friend of Mengyu, I’ll toast to you."

Su Qingyan crinkled her forehead in displeasure at the full glass of high-proof alcohol Liu Qiming had pushed toward her.

Chen Fan noticed that Liu Qiming seemed to have ill intentions, so he pushed the glass of alcohol away from Su Qingyan, "She doesn’t drink alcohol; you guys go ahead."

Liu Qiming glanced at Chen Fan and said coldly, "What, you’re not even willing to give this much face?"

Xi Mengyu stared at Chen Fan and added, "Qiming is toasting Qingyan, what are you meddling for? Do you think you’re losing face because Qiming didn’t toast you first? You should think about whether you’re even qualified for Qiming’s toast."

Chen Fan looked at them indifferently and said, "I said, Qingyan doesn’t drink."

His tone carried a sharp edge that made it hard to argue against.

Liu Qiming didn’t know why, but he felt an inexplicable reluctance to challenge Chen Fan, yet he still managed to say with a displeased expression, "Fine, don’t drink if you don’t want to, you’ve got the bigger egos, it’s my mistake for trying."

Seeing Liu Qiming angered, Xi Mengyu quickly consoled, "Dear, don’t be angry, don’t bother with someone like Chen Fan."

Liu Qiming was clearly annoyed and stood up abruptly, heading toward the restroom.

Seeing this, Xi Mengyu glared at Chen Fan and then followed Liu Qiming.

When the two reached the restroom door, Xi Mengyu consoled Liu Qiming in a flattering manner, "Darling, don’t be angry, Chen Fan is just unappreciative."

Liu Qiming coldly looked at Xi Mengyu and said, "Didn’t you say you could help me deal with your old friend and let me have my fun? Now she won’t even drink; where am I supposed to find an opportunity to get her? I’m regretting buying you a car now."

Xi Mengyu said, "Darling, don’t speak like that. How could I have known Chen Fan would be so unappreciative? You know me, I’ve never refused any of your requests, even when you wanted to sleep with my friend, I didn’t say a word. I really didn’t expect someone as troublesome as Chen Fan to appear."

Then she rolled her eyes and said, "Darling, doesn’t this bar have a rule that you can issue a challenge on the stage and no one can refuse? Why don’t we use this rule to teach Chen Fan a lesson?"

Liu Qiming’s eyes lit up and then a sly smile appeared on his face, "Good, let’s do what you said. Today, we must teach that guy a lesson."

Afterward, the two headed toward the stage manager.

Chen Fan sat in front of the booth, releasing his Divine Sense, observing Xi Mengyu and Liu Qiming, and couldn’t help but reveal a cold smile on his face.

Qingyan looked at him and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Chen Fan said, "Your childhood playmate is indeed malicious. Her invitation for you to come to Jibei City was nothing but ill-intentioned."

Qingyan, puzzled, asked, "What happened?"

Chen Fan said, "You’ll find out soon enough. This time, I won’t spare her any face, even if she is your friend."

Not long after, Liu Qiming and Xi Mengyu returned, both bearing expressions full of anticipation.

The two sat down as if the previous conflict hadn’t happened, and Liu Qiming said with a smile, "Since you don’t want to drink, let’s not drink then. But tonight, we must have a good time."

Chen Fan smiled and remained silent.

After a while, a victor emerged from the fierce battle on the stage, the winner howling triumphantly, declaring his victory.

This man was a fairly well-known contestant in the bar, his sturdy build resembling that of a gorilla, earning him the nickname King Kong.

Not long after his victory, a staff member walked up to the stage, said something, and pointed at the direction where Chen Fan and Qingyan were sitting.

Soon after, King Kong nodded to the staff member and looked over to where Chen Fan was. When he saw Qingyan beside Chen Fan, a covetous light burst forth from his eyes.

He then pointed at Qingyan and shouted, "That chick, I’ve taken a liking to her!"

The crowd followed King Kong’s gesture to take a look, and upon seeing Qingyan, they were all astounded by her beauty.

At that moment, King Kong’s gaze turned to Chen Fan, "Are you this chick’s man?"

Chen Fan calmly said, "Yes."

King Kong sneered, "Very well, I now challenge you. Come up to the stage, let’s fight it out. If I win, this chick is mine!"

Instantly, cheers erupted from the crowd, as they loved the sight of men fighting over a woman.

At this point, Liu Qiming looked at Chen Fan and said in a mocking tone, "Oh dear, I forgot to mention this to you, but there’s a rule in this bar. If someone on the stage issues a challenge, the other party cannot refuse it. Looks like you’re out of luck today, Chen Fan!"
