After Lin Chuxue hung up the phone, she looked at her watch. There were less than 20 minutes left before the match. But North Gate Master Yan was already here, but Xu Cheng wasn't here yet?
She wasn't the only one who had this question. The director of the police HQ as well as Wang Ying from the 8th Military Region were all looking around to see where Xu Cheng was.
Lin Chuxue prayed in her heart, "It's good that he didn't come. This is in line with his usual evasive personality, and he can survive."
Ran Jing: "Will he come?"
Shen Yao: "Although I'm scared that he'll die if he loses, since he signed the deathmatch, I will watch him if he doesn't come."
Lin Chuxue: "I don't think he'll come. With his personality …"
Ran Jing and Shen Yao turned their faces in surprise. "With his personality, why would he do that? You seem to know Xu Cheng very well? "
Lin Chuxue hurriedly blinked her eyes and said, "No, I just think that Gate Master Yan is such a famous person. Maybe he thought it through and won't come in the next two days."
Ran Jing raised her head and saw a figure standing straight at the entrance of the clubhouse. That 1.9-meter-tall figure appeared there. After he blocked the brightest light coming in from the clubhouse, everyone looked at him.
She said, "He's here."
The two girls immediately looked up and saw Xu Cheng. He stood at the door, finished smoking the cigarette in his mouth, and then flicked it out of the door. Only then did he walk in. As he walked, he took off his coat, wearing a white vest inside, and went directly to the competition venue.
In the huge stadium, all the chairs were arranged around the circular field, one after the other, and they were arranged on a flight of stairs. When Xu Cheng walked down the stairs and came to the circular stage, he saw Gate Master Yan sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, not moving at all.
Xu Cheng looked around at the people he knew sitting on the stage. He didn't expect Lin Chuxue to also come. Although she was wearing sunglasses, Xu Cheng could still recognize her from her face.
After the director looked at him, he nodded slightly at him.
"Although I don't know him too well, just from the fact that he dared to offend the people from the West Gate Casino, I know he will come today," Shen Yao said with a smile on her face as she stared at Xu Cheng.
Lin Chuxue also stared at Xu Cheng and murmured, "He really changed."
Ran Jing and Shen Yao were stunned again. "What?"
Lin Chuxue quickly changed the topic. "It's nothing, I think he has guts."
Lin Dong, the yellow-haired kid, stood up and waved his hand to make his presence known.
"I bet on you, I bet all my pocket money on you!" he shouted.
"Is this kid an idiot? Betting on the patrol officer?" Young Master Yun and the others scoffed.
The others also laughed in disdain. "Young and naive, of course they haven't experienced the turbulent times of Gate Master Yan's era. Back then, the number of fighters that died in his hands could be counted with just one hand. If he wasn't ruthless, how could there be North Gate today? In the past, when the law was weak, who wasn't the leader of North Gate's Ma Zhan?"
"Yeah, no matter how much money we bet on Xu Cheng, it's just going to go down the drain. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse, and even if Gate Master Yan isn't as powerful as he was back then, he's still more than enough to take care of this guy. My parents said that back in the days, Gate Master Yan was someone you couldn't meet at night."
"Lin Dong, sit back down," Lin Dong's brother scolded him.
Lin Dong gave them the middle finger and sat back down.
Gate Master Yan finally opened his eyes and saw that Xu Cheng had already taken off his jacket and was standing in front of him. He said to Xu Cheng, "There's still 10 minutes until the match, do you have any last words?"
Xu Cheng laughed and calmly said, "Respecting the old and loving the young is a virtue of the Chinese, and last words are out of respect. I should be the one asking you that."
Gate Master Yan smiled. "I want to say something to you, and that is, today, I'm going to send the old before the young."
Xu Cheng wasn't nervous at all. "Then I also want to say something to you. If the King of Hell wants you dead by midnight, he won't let you live until midnight. Your time is up."
Gate Master Yan's face was full of smiles. "Wow, you sure are good with words. I wonder if your real strength is directly proportional to your mouth."
Xu Cheng casually asked him, "You should have seen the video of me beating up your disciple, right?"
Gate Master Yan: "Of course, I'm not arrogant enough to ignore anyone. It's only because you are qualified to be my opponent that I decided to fight you to the death. But, what I want to say is, what you showed in that video is lacking in 'ruthlessness'."
"That's for sure, because I'm a police officer. No matter how wrong the other party is, as long as the law doesn't sentence them to death, we have no obligation to kill them. This is the difference between me and you, and also the biggest reason why I want to kill you today. It's because your existence affects public security. I'm guessing that you haven't had a breakthrough in all these years. "
Gate Master Yan raised his eyebrows. "Why are you so sure?"
Xu Cheng: "Because you can't let go of North Gate. It's not that you can't let go of North Gate, but you can't let go of your past ruthlessness. Your mind has never been able to calm down."
At this moment, Gate Master Yan revealed his front teeth and smiled. "You're right, but I want to vent all my anger on you. That's why I issued the death duel. I hope you don't fall too easily and let me vent it all out."
Xu Cheng looked at him and said, "Before the duel, shouldn't you express your attitude to everyone, including the representatives from the other three Gates? What if you lose? You know the police won't make a big move against North Gate, so if we want to solve the problem, we will have to rely on you guys. "
Gate Master Yan paused for a moment, and then he said to the witnesses around him, "If I lose today, North Gate will be erased from existence!"
As soon as he said that, the core members of North Gate immediately objected, "Then what if Xu Cheng loses? Shouldn't the police station give us the title deed for the land that belongs to the North Gate? "
The people from the police department and the city leaders all went silent.
The land deeds were for the right to build. North Gate had been hogging those pieces of land and refused to move, nor did they want to let other real estate developers take over. However, the government wouldn't give them the land deeds, allowing them to grow.
The entire LC District took up a lot of land, and a lot of real estate developers wanted to bid for it every year. However, because of North Gate's existence, no one dared to take over. The leaders were hesitant, but the director was even more hesitant. If he didn't ask his good friend from the 5th Military Region, he might have a lot of confidence in Xu Cheng. But now that he knew about Xu Cheng's situation, if Gate Master Yan won and got the land deeds, then North Gate would be able to take advantage of this development project and rise again. At that time, he would become the target of public criticism.
