Chen Haoxuan and his group arrived early at the top of the back mountain, both sides waiting for their reinforcements.
Zhu Tian sat under a Pine Tree with his lackeys, resting and preparing to beat up Chen Haoxuan once their people arrived.
The rich and the poor are different; while Chen Haoxuan and his group were smoking cigars, Zhu Tian and his crew were smoking cheap cigarettes. This comparison made Zhu Tian's group seem rather shabby.
Zhu Tian's Lackey were all in New City, so his lackeys arrived early. Unlike Chen Haoxuan, whose lackeys were all in Chen Family Village, gathering them would take over half an hour.
“Boss, boss…” Zhu Tian's Lackey arrived one after another at the hilltop behind New City University. It wasn't really a mountain; just a large dirt slope that the locals referred to as a hill due to its height.
As Zhu Tian saw more of his lackeys arriving, his confidence grew. More than half of his crew had already come, while not a single person from Chen Haoxuan had shown up yet. If he attacked now, victory would surely be his. However, he chose not to do so; he wanted to defeat Chen Haoxuan openly and then teach him a good lesson, perhaps extorting some money in the process.
If Yang Lin and the others knew what Zhu Tian was thinking, they would surely call him an idiot. After all, they knew that just a month ago, Chen Haoxuan's men had sent the so-called Karate masters like Jun Sui fleeing. With such formidable subordinates, how could just over a hundred of them compete? Waiting for the enemy to grow stronger before attacking was nothing short of foolishness.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering on Zhu Tian's side, armed with cold weapons, Chen Haoxuan remained unfazed. However, Yang Lin was worried. He leaned against a tree and said to the dozing Chen Haoxuan: “Haoxuan, our people haven't arrived yet, but they have so many already. What should we do? If they all attack together, how can we four fight against their seventy or eighty?”
“If you're scared, you can go down the mountain!” Chen Haoxuan replied calmly, his tone betraying no hint of concern as if he was completely confident in defeating those thugs.
“I want to go down, but for the sake of face, I can't,” Yang Lin admitted. He understood that if he fled now, it would bring shame upon him in their world.
At that moment, one person regretted it the most: Ma Yichen. He regretted following Chen Haoxuan to the mountaintop. Now, with Zhu Tian having called over seventy or eighty men, all armed with weapons like iron rods, Machetes, and chains… it was four against seventy or eighty, and their numbers were still increasing. How could they possibly fight? He wanted to escape but feared that doing so would make him seem disloyal. How could he continue to call himself brothers with Chen Haoxuan after that?
Chen Haoxuan understood their concerns and spoke up: “You’re worried they might attack us before my people arrive, right? I'm not afraid of them; even if they gather a hundred people, they might not be my match! I can protect myself without any problem, but protecting you… I think you should head down the mountain. As long as I'm still up here, Zhu Tian won't chase after you.”
"I... I won't take action. I'm the young director of Qihang Group, and I don't believe I haven't provoked them. Do they dare to hit me?" Ma Yichen said seriously. He initially intended to leave, but upon hearing Chen Haoxuan say that Zhu Tian and his hundred or so people were not a match for him, those words enchanted him, making him want to stay and see just how strong Chen Haoxuan really was—whether he could truly take on a hundred opponents.
"Haoxuan, although we aren't afraid of them, they all have weapons. Shouldn't we find some weapons too? Otherwise, we might be at a disadvantage," Yang Lin reminded Chen Haoxuan.
"At a disadvantage?" Chen Haoxuan laughed. With their current strength, if they had weapons in hand, Zhu Tian and his group might not even have the ability to fight back, and it would be easy for them to accidentally kill someone due to lack of control over their strength.
"If you really want weapons, go find a stick! Your current strength already exceeds that of an average person. If you wield something like a machete, it would be easy to kill the enemy, so a stick is the most suitable for you," Chen Haoxuan said with a smile.
"Alright, I'll go find a stick," Yang Lin replied. He believed his strength was greater than that of an average person, but against a hundred people, he felt it was better to find a stick as a weapon; at least it could block those thugs' machetes!
Liu Junfeng and Ma Yichen also went to find sticks, leaving only Chen Haoxuan behind. He was well aware of his own strength; his speed had reached what could be considered the limit of human capability. If one didn't pay close attention, they might not even see the movement when he struck.
Twenty minutes later at the mountain top, Zhu Tian had gathered over a hundred people. Seeing that no one from Chen Haoxuan's side had arrived yet, he laughed mockingly at Chen Haoxuan. "Chen Haoxuan, are your little brothers too scared to come?"
Chen Haoxuan was smoking a cigar and ignored the arrogant Zhu Tian.
Seeing Chen Haoxuan's silence only confirmed Zhu Tian's belief that Chen Haoxuan was afraid of him. He boasted again, "Chen Haoxuan, I see you're a smart person. You should know which side victory lies on by now. Be sensible and give me one hundred thousand Renminbi. As long as you give me one hundred thousand Renminbi, I guarantee I'll let you go without any trouble."
"What if...? I give you one hundred thousand Renminbi and you let me beat you up instead? How about that?" Chen Haoxuan laughed, showing no respect for Zhu Tian.
"You’re so arrogant! Even at this moment, you're still acting tough. I suspect you're deliberately looking for death today," Zhu Tian said angrily to Chen Haoxuan. He didn't expect that Chen Haoxuan would show no signs of fear in front of his hundred or so subordinates and even dared to provoke him.
"I possess immense wealth, a beautiful and kind girlfriend, and a luxurious villa. Why would I be willing to die?" Chen Haoxuan stood up and shot Zhu Tian a disdainful glance.
Hearing Chen Haoxuan's words, Zhu Tian became even angrier, his anger mixed with intense jealousy. The person he once viewed as a loser now possessed a billion-dollar fortune that everyone envied, along with a vast network of business connections and an intellect that surpassed all the faculty and students at New City University. As for Zhu Tian, he had made some progress, but compared to Chen Haoxuan, his advancements seemed trivial. He was unwilling to accept this; he believed he was better than Chen Haoxuan and was determined to surpass him on this path.
"Chen Haoxuan, none of your people have arrived yet. Are you planning to fight us with just the four of you, or will you wait for your little brothers to show up before you engage?" Zhu Tian said coldly to Chen Haoxuan.
