Chapter 148

But this layer.

There were no guards at all.

Ahead.

The members of Lakaida Sect walked silently ahead, their leather shoes making faint sounds on the floor; Wang Yase noticed that these Lakaida Sect members had steady qi, even controlling the weight of their steps, and their combat index seemed to fluctuate around 3000 points.

"｀ 」What's going on here?"

He was puzzled.

Since entering this temporary headquarters of Lakaida Sect, in his memory, he had already seen dozens of guards with combat indices.

When did…

Combat index become so cheap?

"Please come in."

At the end of the corridor was a pair of dark, double-opening doors, heavy with blackness; the Lakaida Sect member pulled open the doors.

A faint, warm glow spilled out.

Wang Yase instantly saw the scene beyond the doors.

Spacious.

Vast.

The entire floor held only one office: a boss's desk, six or seven meters long, lay horizontally; the whole floor was floor-to-ceiling windows, with the desk directly facing them, and beside it, layer by layer of bookshelves, arranged in neat rows, forming a massive space.

Ahead were a row of sofas.

And a figure sat.

Right on the boss's chair.

Wang Yase's gaze.

Instantly.

Locked onto that figure, his heart tightening with tension.

The legendary Brother Yanwang…

Finally…

Would they meet?

But when he saw the figure seated on the boss's chair, his eyes widened in shock, and he froze where he stood.

【089】 So you're Brother Yanwang.

He came after school.

The sky.

Was slightly yellowish.

The sunset.

Was slowly sinking.

Dim light lazily spilled across the floor-to-ceiling windows, refracting a yellowish glow that illuminated the entire vast floor.

And that yellowish light also fell upon the figure, the slight backlight casting his front into shadow, so Wang Yase didn't see him at first; but as his gaze focused, the figure's form gradually emerged before him.

Dressed in a black Zhongshan suit, he held a book, elegant like a gentleman; his face was delicate, features sharply defined, his expression calm, his eyes equally serene.

The warm sun.

Shone upon him just so.

Just like…

The countless times he had encountered that youth—exactly the same scene.

"You…"

"Are you Brother Yanwang?"

Wang Yase's voice trembled.

"Come in."

In the yellow light,

Lin Yu smiled slightly, inviting Wang Yase inside.

Wang Yase walked in dazedly and sat on the sofa, while Lin Yu rose, walked to the main seat of the sofa, and sat down slowly.

"You're Brother Yanwang?"

Wang Yase asked again.

This time,

He looked again at Lin Yu before him.

Who could have imagined?

Who could ever have imagined?

That boy who once stood at the alley's mouth, smoking, expression calm; that youth surrounded by a gang of Bale High delinquents, walking forward steadily, expression unruffled; that student who descended from the heavens as a savior when countless Bale High thugs attacked the back mountain…

The man before him, in the eyes of countless people—or in Wang Yase's eyes—had countless images, countless identities.

Student, Bale High student, KO. 1, a being with a mysterious identity…

All kinds…

But never once had he thought…

That the man before him…

Had yet another identity.

The strongest boss of Cengtulong Gang!

Currently the Pavilion Master's...

Pavilion Master!

Brother Yanwang!

A terrifying existence who makes both the legitimate and the underworld turn pale at the mere mention of his name, feared by countless underworld members, his fearsome renown blazing bright!

A legend — in a short span of time, rising from a mere newcomer to become a boss, the strongest boss, the Gang Leader of Tulong Gang!

A...

Mysterious and powerful existence.

Even more so, one who makes...

Judgment by Force's Black Dragon...

All wary of him!

Countless identities layered together, yet they all converge into the Lin Yu standing before their eyes.

This is what is truly most unexpected.

Makes Black Dragon...

All wary!

This existence, who had only just appeared and already made Wang Da Dong and him, as well as Ding Xiaoyu, uneasy, now stood in awe of the youth with the calm face before him!

And the youth before their eyes.

Just like him.

Turned out to be a student too — even from the same school!

"Truly..."

"Beyond imagination."

Wang Yase shook his head, his expression complex and shaken.

He, along with Wang Da Dong and Ding Xiaoyu, were all towering figures of the School Realm, existences who made the School Realm itself turn pale at the mere mention of their names — but one School Realm could never hope to clash with the underworld standing before them.

This also meant.

The Lin Yu before their eyes.

Was fundamentally on an entirely different level from them!

It also made Wang Yase understand why Lin Yu always wore such a silent, calm expression — even when facing such a massive display from the School Realm, he remained composed.

After all.

In the eyes of the underworld.

Everything about the School Realm really did seem a bit like children playing house.
