Chapter 849: How could this be

Zhong Yu returned with a plate full of barbecue, and seeing many people surrounding Xu Tian, she thought he had gotten into a fight with someone.

She had originally felt that since the First Brother returned, his personality had become a bit too peaceful, but now it seemed that being combative was his true nature.

"This man says I raped his fiancée and wants to beat me to death." Xu Tian sneered.

"What? Rape?" Zhong Yu coughed violently, nearly choking on the barbecue in her mouth. "Is he crazy? Daring to spout nonsense in front of you?"

Zhong Yu followed Xu Tian's gaze and saw the young master of the Zhang family glaring at Xu Tian with an expression of fury, looking just like a red-eyed gamecock. Behind him hid a pitiful, disheveled woman. Although the woman was crying like rain on pear blossoms, her appearance was truly plain—to put it bluntly, she was the type that no one would want to look at twice on the street.

Zhong Yu opened her mouth in surprise and pointed at the pair, asking.

"Just her?"

"First Brother is surrounded by beauties; how could he possibly take a fancy to her?"

The woman, having been poked in her sore spot, turned bright red. She decided to throw caution to the wind, stiffened her neck, and roared at Zhong Yu.

"It was him who raped me! You and this beast are in cahoots, helping the evildoer!"

"Bullshit! If our Azure Wolf Hall leader, Lord Wolf King, wants to sleep with a woman, does he need to use force? Even though we are bandits, we only rob wealth, not beauty!"

Xu Tian:...

Compared to his speechlessness, Zhong Yu's words were like a thunderbolt to everyone else.

Especially the young master of the Zhang family and his fiancée; the color drained from their faces instantly.

Who is this kid?

The Wolf King of Azure Wolf Hall?

A few minutes ago, they would never have linked Xu Tian to the leader of Azure Wolf Hall.

The woman's legs went weak, and she instinctively started to collapse to the ground, only managing to stand by gripping the Zhang young master's arm tightly.

The Zhang young master was also losing his mind, his entire body soaked in cold sweat.

"He... he is the Wolf King Ding Yi?"

"He isn't, are you?" Zhong Ling's voice was cold, her tone filled with chill. "You are from the Zhang family, right? How do I remember that the Zhang family previously wanted to submit to our Azure Wolf Hall and voluntarily become our subordinate faction? Now that you are slandering our Lord Leader, is this the Zhang family head's idea?"

"No... it's not..." The Zhang young master's lips trembled.

Zhong Ling did not give him a chance to argue.

"Your father is Zhang Fugui, right?"

"Yes," the Zhang young master replied.

"I didn't expect that smiling tiger Zhang Fugui to have such a vicious and sinister side behind his back." Zhong Ling sneered. "On the surface, you want to submit to Azure Wolf Hall, but behind the scenes, you incite your son to slander our Lord Wolf King. The Zhang family's ambition is truly not small!"

"Is this an attempt to annex Azure Wolf Hall's territory and take our place?" Zhong Yu also chimed in with a straight face. "It's simply wishful thinking!"

The Zhang young master's mind went blank.

He could not accept that the young man in front of him, wearing clothes worth a few hundred bucks and possessing not a shred of killing intent, was actually the leader of Azure Wolf Hall? Was he the Wolf King Ding Yi, whose name alone could make people tremble with fear?

"This... how is this possible..."

Yun Mufeng, who was mingling in the crowd, furrowed his brows, staring at Xu Tian with a probing gaze.

Isn't this kid named Xu Tian, an ordinary person from Huaxia? How could he possibly be the leader of Azure Wolf Hall?

Yun Hexian, standing beside him, was also confused.

Although he knew this Xu Tian was the real Yun Mufeng, he had never known that Yun Mufeng was the leader of Azure Wolf Hall.

Could it be that after Yun Mufeng left the Yun family, he founded this organization privately?

But that didn't seem right...

If this Azure Wolf Hall was truly founded by Yun Mufeng, and he now had no memory, it would be impossible for him to know he was the leader of Azure Wolf Hall, let alone return to Azure Wolf Hall to hold power.

Yun Hexian could be certain that Xu Tian had absolutely no past memories; otherwise, how could he allow an impostor to occupy his identity and approach his son?

Or was it that after Yun Mufeng lost his memory, he happened to be mistaken for the Wolf King by the people of Azure Wolf Hall?

If that were the case, he could use this opportunity to completely eliminate the real Yun Mufeng.

As long as he told the elders of Azure Wolf Hall that Xu Tian was from Huaxia and was a Huaxia person, he wouldn't even need to take action himself; that kid would die without a burial ground.

Of course, there was another possibility regarding the explanation of Xu Tian's identity: that Yue Moli had used her own status to support Xu Tian in seizing control of Azure Wolf Hall.

If it really was Yue Moli's secret operation that helped Xu Tian sit in the position of Azure Wolf Hall's leader, then even if he exposed the other party's identity, it would be of no use.

However, this possibility was extremely small.

After all, the high-level members of Azure Wolf Hall had never been submissive; they didn't even give face to the Wuji Martial Arts Association. Therefore, even Yue Moli likely couldn't interfere with their internal decisions.

For an outsider with no foundation, even with Yue Moli's help, wanting to gain a foothold in Azure Wolf Hall, let alone monopolize power, was wishful thinking.

The many elders and high-level members of Azure Wolf Hall were not pushovers; they would absolutely never tolerate such a person riding above them.

Yun Hexian thought it over and felt that Xu Tian must have impersonated the Azure Wolf Hall leader Ding Yi after arriving at Wuji Island. Perhaps his appearance was somewhat similar to Ding Yi's, or there was some other unknown reason that prevented the people of Azure Wolf Hall from discovering his flaws.

Of course, Yun Hexian had no interest in knowing what Xu Tian had done since arriving at Wuji Island.

To him, Xu Tian was just a defeated opponent who would be stepped under his feet for the rest of his life, never able to turn things around.

At this moment, the rich second generations and socialites in the banquet hall who had just participated in mocking Xu Tian all widened their eyes in surprise, shaking their heads in disbelief.

This kid was actually the legendary cold-blooded Wolf King?

How could this be?

People in Kun Cheng, even ordinary folks, had heard of Azure Wolf Hall's notoriety.

This was the leader of Azure Wolf Hall who dared to challenge the Wuji Martial Arts Association, fight for business with the Lu family, and seize territory from the Yue family. His style was simply vicious and unreasonable.

And there were rumors that he had once provoked the strongest expert on Wuji Island, even using underhanded methods to ambush the other party on their route.

But even so, if one said he had raped the Zhang young master's fiancée, no one would really believe it.

With the status of the Wolf King, he could just crook a finger and countless women would willingly climb into his bed. Why would he need to target a woman who was already engaged, and in a small alley in a busy downtown area?

Furthermore, as the leader of Azure Wolf Hall, would he not even care about his own reputation?

If one were to say that killing and looting are the Wolf King's medals of honor and the capital for his dominance, then being tainted by a scandal like raping a woman would only cause him to lose all face.

If it were some famous beauty, that might be one thing, but Young Master Zhang's fiancée is merely a girl from an ordinary family. Could such a person really attract the Wolf King, making him discard his own reputation just to commit such a despicable act that would have the world pointing fingers at his spine?

"Wolf... Wolf King... How could this be..."
