66: Heroes' Gathering

The outer perimeter was a solid high wall, with many oil drums placed behind it.

Old Man Hulu introduced, "If zombies come, we pour oil on the wall. They'll slip and won't be able to climb up."

"Even if they do climb up, we can set them on fire."

"However, zombies aren't that smart. So far, we haven't had to use fire tactics."

The Little Security Guard nodded.

Using so much oil, the Wang family's foundation must be quite substantial!

Old Man Hulu gave the command.

The massive iron gates, two stories high and over a meter thick, swung open.

The Little Security Guard's motorcade drove inside.

Inside, there were another three layers of iron railings.

After the entire motorcade entered, the main gates and the three iron railings were closed again.

Old Man Hulu said, "Boss Yang, please follow me to the assembly hall. My master has been waiting for a long time."

The Little Security Guard took Jing Hua and Zhu Yeqing with him, while the rest stayed in the parking area to rest.

Inside the luxurious and spacious assembly hall.

Hundreds of bodyguards in black were on high alert inside and outside the hall.

A crystal chandelier worth millions illuminated the meeting room as bright as day.

In the large hall, twenty to thirty large round tables were lined up on both sides, with seven or eight heroes and warriors sitting at each table.

Beside the rostrum sat the largest round table, which could accommodate more than ten people.

Old Man Hulu announced loudly, "Master, the boss of the Azure Dragon Base has arrived."

The Little Security Guard entered the hall with Jing Hua and Zhu Yeqing, looking incredibly imposing!

Everyone cast curious glances in their direction simultaneously.

The three of them strode forward with their heads held high, looking neither left nor right, exuding a dashing air.

There should have been background music at this moment.

The crowd whispered: "The Green Snake Gang is one of the top Gangs locally, and their leader, She Fu, is a ruthless guy who commands respect from all sides!"

"Why didn't Boss She Fu come?"

"Oho, why is the one leading the way wearing a Little Security Guard's uniform?"

"On such an important occasion, where there are plenty of experts, why let a poor security guard in?"

"The beauty following behind is quite pretty, but she's too young; she doesn't have the aura of a boss's wife!"

"Holy crap, isn't that Zhu Yeqing following behind? He's a veteran of the Green Snake Gang and used to be quite arrogant. Why is he following behind so submissively now, looking like a little lackey in front of a security guard?"

"You've got it wrong; he's letting the security guard clear the way in front."

"With Zhu Yeqing's skills—though they aren't that great—would he really need a security guard to clear the way?"

...The three of them walked to the main table.

Leading the group was a wealthy, pot-bellied middle-aged man.

Seeing that the newcomer was just a young man in a Little Security Guard's uniform, the middle-aged man felt a hint of contempt.

He looked behind and saw that Zhu Yeqing was older and looked more like a big boss.

He felt secretly curious: "It's understandable if the boss and his lady walk side-by-side."

"But why is the boss walking behind, letting a Little Security Guard clear the path in front?"

Old Man Hulu said, "Master, this is the boss of the Azure Dragon Base!"

Wang Jiacheng cupped his hands toward Zhu Yeqing and said, "I have long heard of your great name, but never had the chance to meet. Seeing you today, you truly have the air of a hero!"

The Little Security Guard's expression remained unchanged, showing neither joy nor anger.

Zhu Yeqing, however, was so scared he nearly tripped.

You're going to be the death of me!

I haven't committed any usurpation!

He clarified specifically: "Wang Jiacheng, you've mistaken me. I am Zhu Yeqing, the second-in-command of the Azure Dragon Base. This promising young man is our boss, Mr. Yang."

His tone was arrogant when speaking to Wang Jiacheng, but as soon as he mentioned the word 'boss', his tone became respectful, and he bowed his head, looking as if he wanted to kneel directly.

Wang Jiacheng: "Holy crap, he's the boss at such a young age?"

It was simply unbelievable!

Old Man Hulu explained awkwardly, "Master, this young man is indeed the boss!"

Seeing that he was just a youth, Wang Jiacheng assumed he had no real talent and might have become boss through connections. He merely offered a few perfunctory words: "I've heard much about you. Please, take a seat."

The Little Security Guard didn't mind and sat down casually.

Jing Hua and Zhu Yeqing stood respectfully behind the Little Security Guard, alertly observing the surroundings.

Everyone was shocked.

The main table was meant for major sects. Does a small-to-medium Gang like the Green Snake Gang even deserve to sit at the main table?

A look of displeasure appeared on Wang Jiacheng's Face. This person was just too young and didn't know etiquette.

It wasn't convenient for the host to say it explicitly, but it was different for the servants.

Old Man Hulu, the butler, said, "Boss Yang, this is the main table, prepared for the three major Gangs of our Changning City—the White Tiger Hall, Vermilion Bird Hall, and Black Tortoise Hall. Your seat is over there; I'll lead you to it."

As he spoke, he prepared to lead the Little Security Guard away.

The Little Security Guard didn't even look at him; he picked up a teacup from the table and prepared to drink.

The butler turned back and saw the Little Security Guard still in the same spot. His Face was a mask of awkwardness; he didn't know whether to leave or stay.

"Clack, clack, clack!"

An old man in his fifties walked over from the side. He was hunched and stooped—a hunchback.

With every step he took, he left footprints several inches deep in the ground.

The crowd praised, "What profound Internal Skill!"

"The Black Tortoise Hall Master's martial arts are amazing!"

This person's Face, wrinkled like a walnut, broke into a smile as he spoke in a sinister, shrill voice: "Young man, you're sitting in the wrong place!"

"This table is for us famous major sects, not for an obscure kid from a tiny Gang like the Green Snake Gang."

"Be a good boy and go sit at the very last table by the door!"

A burst of laughter erupted from the people around them.

Everyone ridiculed the Little Security Guard's lack of sense.

Zhu Yeqing and Jing Hua glared at these people, waiting only for their boss's command to start a fight.

The Little Security Guard, however, remained calm.

In the past, he had been treated as a poor man and a security guard, looked down upon by countless people.

There are plenty of people who look down on me; who do you think you are?

He unhurriedly picked up a bowl of tea and blew on the tea leaves on the surface, looking perfectly relaxed.

"Old Man Wang, your tea isn't that great! Haven't any new teas come in?"

Wang Jiacheng's Face twitched.

With me, Wang Jiacheng, here, who dares not give me Face?

You drink my tea as you please, and then you're picky about it?

Since you dare to deliberately look for trouble, let's see how I deal with you!

He immediately glanced at the hunchbacked old man.

The hunchback laughed and said, "Kid, Old Man Wang is hosting a Gathering of Heroes today; don't go looking for trouble."

"I advise you to kneel and kowtow three times to Old Man Wang, then penalize yourself by drinking three cups of wine."

"Old Man Wang is a magnanimous person who doesn't hold grudges against nobodies, so he'll forgive you."

The Little Security Guard didn't speak, continuing to drink his tea slowly and leisurely.

After finishing the tea, he shook his head. "It doesn't taste good, and there's a fly buzzing nearby! It's ruining my mood."

The old man was furious. He was the Sect Head of the Black Tortoise Sect; how could he allow a greenhorn to offend his dignity?

He immediately moved to snatch the teacup from the Little Security Guard's hand.

"You lack manners, boy. Grandpa will teach you!"

His move was extremely fast; even a fly couldn't escape his grasp!

His hand reached out, but he grabbed only thin air!

Holy crap, something strange happened today. I actually missed?

Then the hunchback felt someone hook his leg—a sneak attack!

Heh, my lower body is extremely stable, known as the 'Ten-Thousand-Year Tumbler'. How could a youngster like you succeed in a sneak attack?

A little brat actually wanted to ambush him.

"Hahaha..."

The hunchback couldn't help but start laughing.

Before he could finish laughing, the hunchback was flat on his back.

Because he was a hunchback, he was like a turtle, flailing his limbs but unable to flip himself over.

He looked exactly like an old turtle that couldn't turn over!

The dozens of heroes and warriors around all burst into laughter.

"Hahaha..."

The hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"Who would have thought that Feng Rugui, a master of his generation, would actually fall at the hands of a little brat!"

Everyone showed looks of disbelief.

The hunchback was exasperated. "This is impossible, this is impossible!"

Just a moment ago he was laughing at others, and now he was being laughed at.

Several hunchbacked Disciples from the Black Tortoise Sect rushed over to help their master up.

The hunchback Feng Rugui's Face turned beet red with shame.

To be played like a fool by a little brat in front of the world's heroes—where would he hide his old Face?

No, he had to take revenge.

The Little Security Guard, however, remained seated, his expression unchanged.

He slowly sipped the tea in his hand.

He didn't even spare the man a glance.

Zhu Yeqing secretly gave his boss a thumbs-up.

Boss is incredible!

Others might not have even seen it clearly, but being close, he had seen everything perfectly.

Before he could even step in to help, his boss had already effortlessly tripped Feng Rugui, leaving him like a turtle on its back.

Feng Rugui was just about to seek revenge.

"Wait..."

A young girl's voice called out.
