404: Familiar faces in a foreign land, other evidence

Golden Treasure watched Dragon Soul leave, feeling somewhat lost for a moment.

He had not expected that this trip to the Grassland Country would yield no rewards, but instead earn him the appreciation of a major figure.

"Did you two finish talking?"

Jiang Chuan was standing outside at the moment. Seeing Dragon Soul emerge, he couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Mhm, that little fellow plans to think about it a bit more."

Dragon Soul smiled when he heard Jiang Chuan's words, not taking them too seriously.

"Alright, let's go. Today's fighting competition has ended."

Hearing Dragon Soul's words, Jiang Chuan naturally wouldn't interfere too much with the mercenary group's affairs, so he planned to take Dragon Soul away from here to eat, drink, and rest well.

"What are you doing? Do you know who I am? Get lost right now!"

As Jiang Chuan and Dragon Soul left the fighting arena, they suddenly heard an enraged voice. The furious voice sounded familiar to Jiang Chuan, and he couldn't help but look over.

"You know them?"

Dragon Soul noticed Jiang Chuan's gaze and looked over as well, spotting several men and women nearby who were completely surrounded by more than a dozen men, so he couldn't help but ask.

"I certainly do."

Jiang Chuan smiled upon hearing Dragon Soul's words, then strode toward the group of surrounded men and women.

"Need help?"

Jiang Chuan's laughter reached the ears of the men and women, simultaneously drawing the attention of the others.

"Damn it, where did this kid come from? Can't you see the situation clearly? Do you believe we won't beat you two up along with them?"

"Exactly, get lost right now."

Before Wang Cong and the others could speak, the guys surrounding them immediately spoke fiercely to Jiang Chuan and the others, full of rage.

"Little Chuan."

Wang Cong and Qin Dong were slow to react, seeing that Jiang Chuan had also appeared here. They were shocked, having never expected to meet him in the Grassland Country.

"So they know each other."

The people surrounding Wang Cong instantly realized that both Jiang Chuan and Dragon Soul knew the group they had cornered. Immediately, over a dozen burly men glared fiercely at Jiang Chuan and them, clearly having already marked them as enemies.

"I can handle these guys by myself."

Dragon Soul noticed their gazes, shrugged nonchalantly, stretched a bit, and then said this to Jiang Chuan, clearly not wanting Jiang Chuan to steal his prey.

Jiang Chuan didn't speak, just nodded, his gaze finally settling on the group of men.

"You're asking for death!"

The people surrounding Wang Cong heard Dragon Soul's arrogant words and immediately spoke in anger. The next moment, they were seen preparing to severely teach Jiang Chuan and Dragon Soul a lesson.

Dragon Soul wasted no words, charging straight at the men. Within two minutes, everyone was howling in agony on the ground.

"Brother Wang, Brother Qin, let's go."

Jiang Chuan merely shook his head watching the scene, then looked at Wang Cong and Qin Dong and said with a smile.

"Okay."

Wang Cong and Qin Dong also reacted, immediately calling their female companions and turning to leave the place.

"Brother Wang, how did you provoke these guys?"

Jiang Chuan walked side-by-side with Wang Cong and the others, asking with a smile.

"It's because we won a bet and they lost. The other party wasn't convinced at all, so we got into a dispute. Who knew these guys would actually plan to attack us?"

Wang Cong smiled bitterly as he replied to Jiang Chuan.

"Brother Wang, this isn't Huaguo. Places outside of Huaguo are very chaotic. It's best not to speak like this in the future. I worry that if you keep talking this way, and we aren't around next time, you'll be in danger."

Jiang Chuan naturally knew the personalities of Wang Cong and his friends, and immediately told him this with a smile.

"Mhm, I know I was impulsive. Next time, when I don't have anyone protecting me, I'll be more low-key."

Wang Cong nodded in agreement. These guys were clearly strong, and if they had truly attacked them, they might not have even had time to resist before being knocked down.

"Do you guys have a place to stay?"

Jiang Chuan looked at Wang Cong and them, asking with a smile.

"Mhm, when we arrived in the Grassland Country, we found an acquaintance to arrange accommodation."

Wang Cong nodded with a smile and then spoke to Jiang Chuan.

"Alright then, since you already have lodging, let's grab something to eat together."

Knowing that Wang Cong and his friends already had their own place to stay, Jiang Chuan naturally didn't say much more, but spoke to the two of them.

"Sure, we've been shouting all night, and we are indeed hungry. We definitely need a good meal."

Wang Cong and Qin Dong agreed without hesitation, following Jiang Chuan and the others to a local specialty food restaurant.

After eating and drinking their fill, Wang Cong and Qin Dong planned to indulge themselves with their female companions. Although they invited Jiang Chuan and Dragon Soul, both were unequivocally rejected.

For the next few days, Wang Cong and his friends also joined Jiang Chuan and the others in the private box to watch the fights.

Only after arriving in the private box did they realize how comfortable it was—they had food, drinks, and people waiting on them. Most importantly, they could clearly see all the details of the battles on the fighting stage, making them incredibly excited.

Jiang Chuan naturally didn't say much watching the two of them in their excitement. After all, they rarely encountered such things, so experiencing it now naturally made them thrilled.

"Azure Dragon, we've almost finished collecting the evidence. Do you want to come back and take a look at our evidence?"

Jiang Chuan had been watching the fights for a week now, and the finals of the fighting competition were only three days away, when Bai Mengxue called him.

"Good. I will return to Huaguo as soon as possible to personally examine these things."

Jiang Chuan agreed to Bai Mengxue's request without hesitation. Afterward, he said goodbye to Dragon Soul and the others, and immediately took a plane back into Huaguo territory.

Jiang Chuan returned to Huaguo and found Bai Mengxue. Looking at the evidence they had gathered, he couldn't help but frown.

"This evidence?"

Jiang Chuan's expression changed slightly as he looked at the evidence. Based on the information Bai Mengxue had gathered, many of the people listed were part of Jiang Wenli's faction but had shallow contact. At the same time, there were several core members whose identities Jiang Chuan knew belonged to Jiang Wenli's enemies.

"Is there no evidence concerning anyone else?"

Jiang Chuan looked at Bai Mengxue beside him and couldn't help but ask this question, wanting to know if there was any other evidence.
