Chapter 745 - 743: Inspecting the Venue
"Hey, I’ve always liked her, I don’t want to give up." Hao Kan didn’t really like her, he was just drooling over her beauty. After all, Shen Yan was only nineteen.
"How about we use some dirty tricks?" Hao Ren grinned mischievously.
"Dirty tricks? What do you mean?" Although Hao Kan was a scoundrel himself, he felt those underhanded tactics were too low-class and didn’t like using them.
"Haha, no need for you two to be so coy. Even I, a young girl, know that it’s just forcing a bow with brute strength. If you really just want her physically, then there’s no need to worry so much. But if you want to be with her for life, then don’t do it."
Zhenzi, who was nearby, saw them rambling and directly spoke up.
"Well..."
Hao Kan was speechless, shocked at how open-minded this Japanese beauty was. But judging from her previous actions, it was clear that not only was she open, but also cunning, easily swaying those who fell into her trap.
"We’re all sensible people here, just go for it. With the Hao Family’s power, are you really going to cower before a female teacher? Worst case, blindfold her and bring in a couple of extra hands to help." Zhenzi found it amusing and, to show sincerity in their collaboration, offered a suggestion directly.
"Haha, that’s a good one, thrilling! Uncle, I believe you can do it."
Hao Ren grinned, revealing that no Hao Family man was decent. Despite the audacity, one wonders if even Master Hao would agree when at home. This is clearly illegal!
Hao Kan originally wanted to do this, often thinking about kidnapping Shen Yan halfway and having a grand bout. But after considering, getting her willingly seemed better, plus he was naturally timid, afraid of committing such illegal acts.
Things were different now. Shen Yan had spoken her mind and even found a pretty boy. Thinking he could never approach Shen Yan again, Hao Kan was furious.
Hao Family men have a habit: If they can’t have it, no one else will. Hao Kan wanted to ruin Shen Yan, so he had to act.
After agreeing on the plan, they went about their respective tasks. Hao Ren had to return to school for classes.
The day passed without incident, and today was Friday, meaning after today, the South Sea Indoor Sports Center would host a prestigious competition.
That would be the World High School Martial Arts Tourney.
The arrival of this competition had both sides extremely anxious. One side, led by Lin Batian, Situ Feng, and senior officials of South Sea’s government, was nervous about the chances of victory.
The other side, a team consisting of US experts like Jackie, Muay Thai King Shi Kekuang, and Japanese assassin expert Zhenzi, was anxious about encountering their target during the competition.
If the Red Widow doesn’t appear in this competition, even winning would mean failing. Completing a non-essential task is pointless; who believes that ridiculous notion of mocking other countries?
But to put up a grand show, they had to play their parts convincingly. Otherwise, they wouldn’t draw attention from the school and society, making it tough for the Red Widow to emerge. With her skills, should she be present, she might register for the event.
If caught, the Jade Pendant would be theirs, marking the task’s completion.
On Friday morning, the campus was bustling as it was the day before the martial arts competition. Thus, the school gave the student council a key task to promote the event everywhere.
The entire campus, under the leadership of Student Council President Jiang Bo, was busy decorating the venue, readying the welcome routes with festive colors.
After all, this was a significant event. The city government and various officials would attend, not to be overlooked.
Therefore, Situ Feng personally led the efforts, working with the student council president to ensure the venue was perfectly decorated.
When Chen Tianlong woke early, he was surprised by such grandeur, thinking he had awoken in another place.
Everyone else felt the same, realizing how seriously the school took this event.
These days Lao Guoqiang had recovered well, ready to flaunt his might, as three foreign experts followed his command, and the Hao Family in South Sea respected his influence.
The Mo Family and Hao Family had close ties, Lao Shangshan and Han Jinhua were close friends, having developed business relations over the years.
This time, the leadership of Celestial Eye named Lao Guoqiang for the task, so the Hao Family and the three foreign experts couldn’t ignore it.
In Huaxia, Celestial Eye was an incredibly powerful entity.
"Wow, so many people are welcoming us; tomorrow we’ll showcase our skills." Shi Kekuang exclaimed joyously at the campus decorations.
"Yes, it is very beautiful! Looks great."
Jackie inadvertently spoke English, then quickly remembered where he was and uttered imperfect Huaxia phrases.
"You two don’t get too excited, mind your behavior. Our main task isn’t winning the ring but finding the Red Widow. Once she shows up, we’ll look for a chance to capture her. If not possible, then..."
At that point, Zhenzi fell silent, making a throat-slitting gesture.
"Understood, Boss Zhenzi." Jackie and Shi Kekuang replied in unison.
Zhenzi said no more. They, as foreign student representatives, stayed in a hotel outside the school, occasionally visiting to learn and exchange knowledge with local students.
Today, they came to check out the competition venue, hoping to spot the Red Widow.
Upon arriving at the venue, the trio stood in the hall, scanning around, impressed by Huaxia’s grand sites, marveled at its stature even in an indoor sports arena.
At this moment, Lao Guoqiang and Hao Ren approached. They mostly knew each other, forgoing introductions, except for Lao Guoqiang shaking hands to express pleasure in the acquaintance.
"Gentlemen, I am Lao Guoqiang. My father mentioned you would follow my orders, correct?" Lao Guoqiang asserted his leadership to confirm his absolute authority.
"Lao Guoqiang? What is Lao Guoqiang, never heard of him." Muay Thai King directly dismissed Lao Guoqiang, genuinely unaware as orders were only passed to the team captain.
"Shi Kekuang, don’t speak out of turn. This is Capital City’s Young Master Lao Guoqiang, apologize quickly."
Zhenzi was startled, blaming herself for not forewarning and now reprimanding the wrong person, "Sorry, it’s my fault for not clarifying to them."
Saying this, Zhenzi approached and placed her hand on Lao Guoqiang’s shoulder, indulging in the presence of a fair-skinned beauty accompanying him.
