Pretending To Be A Boss

One of them was Wang Yuan.

When their eyes met, Wang Yuan's face twisted fiercely as he slowly walked towards Tang Xian.

Li Xiaoyu noticed someone approaching, and at a glance, she recognized both Huang Jie and Wang Yuan.

"Didn't you just say that you helped Huang Jie?"

"Yes."

"But her look, and that of her man, wasn't very friendly towards you."

"I taught her some life lessons, maybe she hasn't fully understood them yet, but no worries, I can teach her again."

Wang Yuan arrived in front of Tang Xian.

Without any hesitation, he pointed at Huang Jie next to him and aggressively pulled down her mask.

With her nose and mouth now crooked, Huang Jie glared angrily at Wang Yuan and quickly put the mask back on.

"Is this your doing?"

"Yes."

"You admit it?"

"I did it, and if you're not satisfied, I can hit her again. Perhaps it can also serve as a facial correction."

Wang Yuan sneered:

"Good, I like a man who owns up to his actions. Today, only one of us will leave here alive."

"I must remind you, in a friendly way, that first of all, we're in the sports stadium, guarded by the Li family. Even though it seems no one is in the corners, causing trouble here will get you disqualified immediately."

"You hit Laozi's woman, and even if it means dying here today, I still have to make you pay. I don't give a damn about any qualification!" Wang Yuan's gaze didn't waver.

This big guy from the Northern Fortress couldn't stand someone bullying his woman.

"Everyone says Wang Yuan has a violent temper, which is indeed true, and I quite like that about you. So, secondly, listen carefully, she isn't your woman—she's been with at least four other men at the same time."

"But as the saying goes, if nobody knows you're cuckolded, you're not really cuckolded. I won't say anything, this is my niece, and she certainly wouldn't discuss such trivial matters."
Your next journey awaits at empire

Li Xiaoyu glared fiercely at Tang Xian. However, the gossip in front of her was too juicy, and she didn't want to interrupt, so she let Tang Xian's nonsensical talk slide.

Huang Jie, pale with shock, furiously said:

"You're slandering me! Yuan, don't listen to his nonsense, he's slandering me!"

Huang Jie's reaction was a bit too agitated.

Wang Yuan, anger surging, was about to lash out with his fists.

As a bare-knuckle fighter, and even though he once tested with six talents and many organizations wanted to retain him, Wang Yuan found it too dull. He refused high-paying jobs and went to the third level to fight in underground matches.

Over the years, he also honed his keen wild instincts.

Tang Xian did not move, watching the fist big as a sandbag; he lightly grabbed it with one hand, and calmly said:

"Do you know where the biggest secrets of the new era are hidden? Not in the eyes of some who've cheated their way ahead, but in their smartphones."

"Think back, in those quiet nights, when you called to check in on her and she breathlessly told you she was taking the elevator or out for a run at night?"

"Aren't there always a few days when she'd ignore you, and when you reached out to her, she'd always respond with 'I'm sleepy,' 'I'm going to shower,' 'Let's talk another time?'"

Li Xiaoyu rarely smiled; she was professional, unless she couldn't help it.

Watching Tang Xian speak earnestly, almost like reciting a comedic script, she could hardly hold back her laughter.

But seeing Wang Yuan's expression, she realized... could this not be just a script?

Wang Yuan was visibly shocked, his expression one of someone who had been hit close to home. But it could also be because he was surprised by Tang Xian's strength.

As Tang Xian held on to Wang Yuan's fist, Wang Yuan found he could not pull it back at all.

Huang Jie's expression was equally captivating.

"Sometimes, out of a sense of security, the most dangerous evidence is hidden in the closest place. You've never checked her phone, have you? You may look fierce, but you trust and tolerate your woman a lot. But you've met an extraordinary foe."

Tang Xian patted Wang Yuan on the shoulder, looked at his slightly bewildered expression, and said:

"Brother, stay strong."

Tang Xian was about to turn away and leave but was stopped by Wang Yuan grabbing him.

Tang Xian flicked at Wang Yuan's fingers with a light touch.

Wang Yuan reacted as if struck by lightning and involuntarily stepped back two paces.

For those with high goodness scores, Tang Xian didn't want to be too harsh; he preserved both face and foundation.

The blow he dealt just now used his newly achieved precision strike, setting the bonus damage to one percent of the target's maximum life.

With Wang Yuan's experience, that was enough to make him realize their disparity.

Wang Yuan felt incredulous.

The force of the moment was neither small nor overwhelming, but just a light flick from the other party produced such power, which seemed somewhat exaggerated.

Yet, in Tang Xian's eyes, he indeed saw not a trace of fear or cowardice.

This made him begin to doubt whether what Tang Xian said was true.

Huang Jie looked spitefully at Tang Xian, probably because Tang Xian had outwitted her again. Whether in Pyramid or the mining area, she could not get the better of him, which infuriated her to the point of irrationality. She disregarded Wang Yuan's gaze and spewed out:

"Don't you feel smug! I'm going to tell Qiao Shanshan that you were walking hand in hand with another little vixen! You two-timing pretty boy!"

Tang Xian furrowed his brows and turned to look at Huang Jie.

Li Xiaoyu also furrowed her brows and turned to look at Huang Jie.

Their gazes were completely different.

Tang Xian just felt this woman was foolish, and rather unlucky, somewhat pitying her.

Li Xiaoyu's gaze was more dangerous.

Deep down, Li Xiaoyu didn't truly believe that any woman could make Tang Xian's heart flutter.

But she just couldn't stand others talking about Tang Xian being close with someone else.
