The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 635 Old Acquaintance

Ye Chenfeng settled back into his chair, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Just because you call me a coward, does that make me one? Idiot."

Ye Chenfeng had no intention of taking action yet. In other words, the time for him to make a move hadn’t arrived; the higher-ups in Huaxia Country should have already arranged the personnel to fight against the special forces of the Island Nation.

Originally, the first match was to be fought by an experienced member of the Soldier King Group, but Zhao Fei, the current commander of the Soldier King Group, walked confidently onto the stage after commanding his member and witnessing Ye Chenfeng decline Fujikawa Koichi’s challenge. He knew he was no match for Ye Chenfeng, but defeating Fujikawa Koichi on the ring—given that Ye Chenfeng had not accepted the challenge—wouldn’t that indirectly elevate him above Ye Chenfeng?

However, these thoughts were merely Zhao Fei’s self-consolation. His mindset was completely abnormal at this point.

In the spectator seats around them, where the new members of the Soldier King Group were seated, they couldn’t help but show contempt in their eyes upon hearing Ye Chenfeng decline Fujikawa Koichi’s challenge. When they saw their own commander go up to fight, cheers erupted loudly from their throats.

"The guy sitting next to all the top leaders is too pathetic, don’t you think? Look at his calm demeanor. Saying stuff like he’s not interested in ’playing house’ with kids? As far as I’m concerned, the skills of these three special forces members from the Island Nation are definitely strong."

"This guy has really lost face for all of us from Huaxia Country. Even if he lost after going up, so what? That would be like a real man!"

...

Many of the new members of the Soldier King Group despised Ye Chenfeng one after another. However, among these new members, three had expressions that shifted uncertainly. If Ye Chenfeng saw these three, he would surely recognize them.

Weren’t they Zhou Ping, Lu Tian, and Gu Le, the roommates from the Tianhai Leap Troop when Ye Chenfeng’s soul had just arrived in this world?

Ye Chenfeng had taught them a set of military boxing, and Zhou Ping, Lu Tian, and Gu Le had acknowledged Ye Chenfeng as their leader. Later, due to Ye Chenfeng’s urgent desire to improve his strength, he left the Leap Troop ahead of schedule, and they lost contact with each other from then on.

Zhou Ping, Lu Tian, and Gu Le had recently participated in the selection for the Soldier King Group. Thanks to the special set of military boxing Ye Chenfeng had taught them, their strength had increased dramatically, which allowed them to join the Soldier King Group smoothly.

Lu Tian, who had the most robust physique among the three, looked at Ye Chenfeng, who sat with all the top leaders, and asked in surprise, "Zhou Ping, Gu Le, is the guy sitting with the top leaders our boss, Ye Chenfeng?"

"It seems to be indeed our boss, Ye Chenfeng. We haven’t seen the boss for a long time, right? Ever since he left the Leap Troop early, our batch graduated from the Leap Troop, and the three of us didn’t get together until we joined the selection for the Soldier King Group," Zhou Ping said, somewhat uncertain as he looked towards where Ye Chenfeng was sitting.

"You two, stop guessing. I’m sure that’s our boss, Ye Chenfeng," Gu Le said directly.

The new members of the Soldier King Group sitting around Zhou Ping and the others heard everything clearly. Someone sneered, "Zhou Ping, you’re saying that kid is your boss? With that pathetic look, is he even qualified to be a boss to anyone? As members of the Soldier King Group, you three better not disgrace us."

"You have the guts to say that again? Our boss doesn’t care about fighting opponents of that caliber. Our current strength is all thanks to our boss who spent a night giving us guidance and taught us a set of boxing techniques. You people don’t know jack," Zhou Ping retorted.

"Zhou Ping, what’s your boss’s name?" another new member of the Soldier King Group asked.

"Clean out your ears and listen well. Our boss’s name is Ye Chenfeng," Zhou Ping said confidently. He knew that without Ye Chenfeng’s pointers back then, his strength would never have reached the level it was at today.

"Ye Chenfeng? That name does sound familiar. I heard that there’s an idiot in the Capital City of the Yes named Ye Chenfeng. You guys aren’t talking about that idiot, are you? The guy sitting with the top leaders doesn’t look like an idiot to me!" the Soldier King Group member who had raised the question earlier said, disdainfully. They, the elite from military regions across the country, weren’t aware of Ye Chenfeng’s series of incidents in the Capital City, though they had indeed heard of the silly reputation of Ye Chenfeng from the Yes in the past.

"Damn it, it seems you’re itching for a beating, disrespecting my boss Lu Tian like that? Are you tired of living?" Lu Tian, who had a large physique, couldn’t stand it any longer.

"Lu Tian, what makes you so cocky? If the commander finds out you guys have acknowledged an idiot as your boss, do you think he’ll let you stay in the Soldier King Group? Just wait to be kicked out!"

"Exactly, I think you three must have a problem with your brains, right? Recognizing an idiot as your boss and you’re actually happy about it? Didn’t you see his pathetic state just now?"

...

The other new members of the Soldier King Group also started mocking Zhou Ping, Lu Tian, and Gu Le. In their opinion, joining the Soldier King Group was the dream of every soldier, a mark of honor, which made their pride swell even more.

"If being a part of the Soldier King Group means we have to leave because our boss is Ye Chenfeng, then I don’t even care to stay, and besides, our boss Ye Chenfeng is definitely not an idiot," Gu Le said calmly.

"Right, Gu Le is correct. If it comes to that, we’ll just leave the Soldier King Group ourselves," Zhou Ping immediately echoed.

"Without our boss, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Ye Chenfeng will always be our boss, the three of us will never waver," Lu Tian stated resolutely.

"Then the three of you can just wait to leave the Soldier King Group!" blurted out one of the new members of the Soldier King Group.

...

Sitting in the front row of the spectator stands were the high-ranking officials of Huaxia Country. They did not show any dissatisfaction towards Ye Chenfeng for refusing Fujikawa Koichi’s challenge. However, when they saw Zhao Fei take to the stage first, they hesitated because the list they were previously informed of had Zhao Fei going last. Now that Zhao Fei was standing on the stage, there was no choice but to continue on.

Members of the Wing Guard Team were seated quite a distance from the Soldier King Group. Otherwise, if they had heard these newcomers dare to insult Ye Chen, they would have exploded on the spot. They believed that, with Ye Chen’s strength, fighting Fujikawa Koichi would indeed be like children playing house—a pointless endeavor. Even they could tell that Fujikawa Koichi on the stage was very weak, but that was only relative to their own confidence in taking down Fujikawa Koichi with one move.

On the stage.

Zhao Fei and Fujikawa Koichi faced each other. Fujikawa Koichi said coldly, "You’re the commander of the Soldier King Group, so you can represent the strongest force of the Huaxia military region, right? Don’t disappoint me. After I beat you, I’ll challenge that bastard from just now. At that time, let’s see if he still has the face to say that fighting me is just kids playing house!"

When Zhao Fei heard Fujikawa Koichi mention Ye Chenfeng, rage surged within him as he shouted, "Your opponent right now is me, and I won’t give you the chance to defeat me."

"I really want to see that for myself," Fujikawa Koichi said with a corner of his mouth curling into a mocking smile.

The referee standing between Zhao Fei and Fujikawa Koichi looked at both of them and asked, "Are you two ready?"

"Ready," Zhao Fei and Fujikawa Koichi answered almost simultaneously.

The referee, dressed in Huaxia military uniform, shouted loudly to the surroundings, "The first special forces exchange match officially begins."

The referee’s booming voice continually spread across the drill ground.

Zhou Ping, Lu Tian, and Gu Le sat in the spectator area for new members of the Soldier King Group, their gazes occasionally drifting to Ye Chenfeng, who was sitting with various leaders. Recalling everything the three of them had gone through with Ye Chenfeng back in the Leap Troop, they looked at each other as if by some mutual agreement and then simultaneously nodded.

Zhou Ping, Lu Tian, and Gu Le trusted their boss and decided that after the special forces exchange was over, they would find their boss to catch up on old times. (To be continued.
