Chapter 74

He stepped forward, ready to unleash his Battle Power Index!

"Hah!"

"Blame yourself—for your Ultimate Class daring to strike my school!"

Brother Taishan also stepped forward, and the hooligans behind him immediately gripped their weapons, radiating menace!

A thrilling, heart-stopping battle.

Was about to unfold!

The hooligans and students watching this scene held their breath, terrified.

But just then!

"I don't mind fighting you."

"But…"

"I think the truth still needs to be uncovered."

"Otherwise we might become someone else's pawn without even knowing it."

A calm, refined voice suddenly rang out from the street behind the back mountain.

"…"

"…"

"…"

Countless figures turned their heads.

Then.

The hooligans blocking the street behind the back mountain slowly parted, revealing a figure gradually entering everyone's view.

"Wang Yase?"

Wang Da Dong's brow twitched slightly.

The newcomer wore a white shirt, exuding refined poise; under countless stares, he walked step by step forward until he stood right beside Wang Da Dong.

"You…"

Seeing Wang Yase, Wang Da Dong froze in surprise.

"Since you said we were brothers."

"Then I…"

"Will stand right here."

Wang Yase smiled faintly.

"…"

Wang Da Dong's eyes truly showed astonishment—he had never expected Wang Yase to return, and to stand firmly beside him at this moment.

Could it be…

That he…

Had been wrong all along?

He recalled Wang Yase's words—that Lei Kesi was the mastermind behind KO. 2 and the Black Cat Hotel—but he simply could not believe it; this was the source of his conflict, yet Lei Kesi had grown up with him, and he knew every detail of Lei Kesi's life.

This was impossible.

But now…

This was not the time to think.

"Yase, what do you mean?" Wang Da Dong felt something was off.

"Wang Yase, what do you mean by that?" Wang Da Dong had a nagging feeling that something was off.

Brother Taishan's brow twitched slightly.

Wang Yase's appearance caught him off guard—after all, Wang Da Dong and Wang Yase had already cut ties.

Wang Yase's appearance was something he hadn't anticipated, after all Wang Da Dong and Wang Yase had already cut ties.

Brother Taishan said coldly.

"Da Dong."

"If I told you all of this was Lei Kesi's conspiracy, would you believe me?"

"If I told you that all of this was Lei Kesi's scheme, would you believe it?"

"…"

Wang Da Dong frowned tightly: "Yase, I already said—Lei Kesi can never be KO. 2."

Behind him, the Ultimate Class students chimed in: "Hey Wang Yase, don't you have too much of a grudge against Lei Kesi? You're still slandering him like this?"

Behind him, the students of the Zhong Ji Yi Ban also said, "I say, Wang Yase, don't you have too much of a grudge against Lei Kesi? Even after all this, you're still slandering Lei Kesi."

"Don't we know better than anyone whether he's KO. 2?"

No one believed Wang Yase's words.

But.

Wang Yase ignored everyone.

He took a slight step forward, scanned Brother Taishan ahead, glanced around, then spoke calmly:

He took a slight step forward, swept his gaze over Brother Taishan ahead, glanced around, then said lightly:

"If you have the guts, step out."

"If you don't…"

"Keep hiding. But even if you hide, today I will expose you completely!"

"Then keep on hiding, but even if you hide, today I will completely expose you!"

After his words fell.

Around him.

Yet no one paid him any attention, as if everyone was looking at him the way one would look at an idiot.

"Wang Yase, what are you saying? Lei Kesi can't fight at all — how could he possibly show up here?"

Wang Da Dong said directly.

But Wang Yase paid him no attention.

Instead, he asked Brother Taishan standing before him: "You should still remember…"

"Some time ago, you beat up a student from Balu High School, right?"

"That would be…"

"Lei Kesi."

Wang Yase asked — this was precisely the fuse that ignited the whole affair.

Brother Taishan said nothing.

The younger brother beside him spoke up: "You mean that Bai Chi who inexplicably provoked us, then claimed he was from the Ultimate Class 1 of Balu High School?"

Those words.

Made the people of Ultimate Class 1 freeze slightly — Wang Da Dong even more so: "Provoked?"

The younger brother nodded: "Yeah, that Bai Chi deliberately provoked us. Our boss was clearly just walking on the sidewalk, and this guy walked over from ahead — not a single pedestrian around — and the moment that Bai Chi saw us, he just rammed straight into us on purpose."

"He even made a point of ramming our boss's shoulder hard, so we grabbed him and gave him a beating."

That younger brother laid out exactly what had happened that night.

"How could that be."

"How could Lei Kesi possibly go provoke you guys!"

Wang Da Dong said coldly — given Lei Kesi's personality, there was no way he would provoke someone for no reason.

"But what if…"

"He did it on purpose?"

Wang Yase looked toward Wang Da Dong.

"What if he is KO Rank 2, and…"

"He wants to deal with you?"

"Or rather, deal with the entire Ultimate Class 1?"

His words.

Instantly plunged the whole venue into sudden silence.

Immediately after.
