"Take you all with me? Why? We're not even familiar with each other." Li Xiao felt frustrated as he watched the brash fellow who had rushed ahead, still clinging to the hope of impressing the President. The way the man occasionally stole glances at him with a sly look only added to his irritation.
With a sharp glare, he spoke in a tone that was both piercing and domineering, as if he intended to intimidate his opponent. His confidence and physique, honed from years of martial arts training, made his words all the more compelling.
"Why does it matter if we're familiar? We're all here to have fun. How about this: let's make a bet. We can compete in what you think is your strongest aspect. If you win, I’ll grant you one request or give you some funds. If you lose, then we just go together. What do you say?" A hint of amusement flickered in Oterber's eyes as he observed Li Xiao's aggressive demeanor.
Just from this brief interaction, he had already formed an impression of Li Xiao's character. It seemed he harbored some unrealistic notions about that beautiful lady nearby. Offering him a chance to perform in front of her was an opportunity Oterber would not let slip away.
Sure enough, upon hearing Oterber's words, a flicker of interest crossed Li Xiao's face. Recently, he had been feeling suffocated by that pompous prince from the Royal Academy of Basic Studies, who acted as if he were truly royal despite being nothing more than a symbolic figure.
Ordinary people might look up to that Your Highness, but not him!
And now, this equally annoying nouveau riche had come looking for trouble; perhaps it was indeed a chance for him to showcase his abilities.
"The method is up to me? Right here?" After a cold snort, Li Xiao crossed his arms, flexing his biceps in his short sleeves, drawing the attention of several girls who appreciated a masculine presence.
"Of course." Seeing that the bait had been taken, Oterber wore a bright smile. He was an all-around elite trained at the Tower Elite Military Academy; in any aspect, he considered himself superior.
Feeling the grip of Li Xiao’s wrist like an iron vice, Oterber slowly but inexorably pushed down on his arm with an unstoppable force. Li Xiao's face flushed red as he exerted all his strength but could do nothing to reverse his disadvantage, helplessly watching as his arm was forced down.
It was astonishing that someone who appeared less muscular than himself could possess such incredible strength; this arm-wrestling match ended in complete defeat for him.
"Damn it! If it were a test of pure strength, I would crush him easily. I was too careless." After losing the match, Li Xiao felt a surge of anger; this was truly embarrassing.
Given the environment they were in, it was clearly not suitable for any kind of fighting or sparring display. That’s why he had chosen arm wrestling—something that could be done anywhere.
Yet in this self-chosen contest, he had lost to Oterber. He could already hear whispers behind him questioning whether he was just a pretty face with no substance; that was absolutely intolerable. If it weren't for their surroundings, he would have loved to teach Oterber a lesson about life’s philosophies.
True combat skills cannot be resolved merely through brute strength. Although Li Xiao desperately wanted to retaliate right then and there to demonstrate his capabilities.
He knew that this venue was not suitable, and going back on his promise would only make him appear more incompetent.
With no other options, he let out a cold snort and allowed the other person to follow his team. He needed to find an opportunity to embarrass them and reclaim the situation.
Symbolically rubbing his arm, he put on a show of using all his strength, glancing at the furious and defiant man. A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes as he compared him to another young man who seemed to exude a noble aura. This young man was far more interesting than the stunning lady beside him.
As he pondered this, he also cast a glance at Liang Wuxuan and Roche.
This time, he had to use the excuse of the temporarily sidelined prey, the young girl, to make his actions seem more reasonable. Dubai was a gathering place for the world's wealthy; encountering interested women and pursuing them in various ways was common and hardly noticeable.
With this thought in mind, he exchanged glances with a few of his subordinates, signaling them to blend in with the student group. Then he approached Liang Wuxuan again, smiling as he said, "Beautiful lady, it seems we meet again."
Seeing this fellow approach, Liang Wuxuan glanced at him and then at Yang Xiaoyou, her eyes reflecting a thoughtful expression. She then lightly touched her lips and smiled seductively, saying, "It's surprising that while the lower classes in Arabic society are so strict about interactions between men and women, the upper class behaves like this."
Originally smiling when he spoke, Oterber's expression darkened slightly upon hearing Liang Wuxuan's seemingly loaded response. However, he maintained his outward composure. "In front of a woman like you, even a true god would be tempted; how much more so for a mere mortal like myself."
Yang Xiaoyou observed Liang Wuxuan enjoying playing with fire and felt somewhat helpless toward her. Did the Demoness really not know what fear was?
She seemed to relish this thrilling atmosphere, wanting to provoke that Agent's sensitive nerves.
It was uncertain whether her boldness was admirable or if she simply had too much faith in herself.
Fortunately, before the Demoness could provoke the other further, Roche arrived to divert attention back to Oterber.
Both of them had encountered power from different directions; anywhere else they would be considered elites among elites. Their interaction here was filled with sharp, unspoken probing that relieved some of the Elite Agent's tension.
At the same time, Yang Xiaoyou sensed that Oterber's other subordinates were discreetly gathering information about this Field Trip Group from the curious students.
Burj Dubai, also known as Burj Khalifa, is the tallest building in the United Arab Emirates and even the entire Middle East. Until a year ago, it held the title of the tallest building in the world.
A terrifying height of over eight hundred meters loomed in the form of a building, making the tourists standing at its base feel incredibly small.
An eight-hundred-meter peak, due to the structural characteristics of the mountain, appeared quite normal. However, if it were transformed into a straight building, the visual impact would leave everyone who saw it for the first time genuinely stunned.
The entire tower stood tall and proud in the center.
After getting out of the car, Yang Xiaoyou did not engage with Liang Wuxuan but instead fixed his gaze on the top of Oterber. He couldn't help but stroke his chin; wasn't the magnetic card he received yesterday meant to be used here? Moreover, his other subordinates should have obtained some other items as well.
By observing what the other party intended to do this time and checking on his own installed devices, he should be able to determine their main objective.
After a brief moment of distraction, Oterber failed to notice the figure that had been secretly watching him. Before most of the students recovered from that visual shock, he had already returned to a normal demeanor. Then, wanting to get closer to Liang Wuxuan, he found himself facing Roche again.
"Look, that Your Highness is more useful than you; he can even help block things. But you, who were clearly right next to him at first, are completely ignoring him. It's so sad," Liang Wuxuan said as he approached Yang Xiaoyou with a tearful expression, as if Yang Xiaoyou were a heartbreaker.
"Being too affectionate in public will get you caught. President, don't put me in that position," Yang Xiaoyou replied with a slightly wicked smile after swiftly giving Liang Wuxuan's pert backside a playful slap.
The sensation was so elastic and smooth that it seemed to imply that if it weren't for an empty vacuum inside, it was just some pants he had used once.
