Ye Xunhuan’s shout instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the bar; everyone was filled with curiosity about this "Young Master Du" he mentioned.

But they were even more curious about Ye Xunhuan. Who exactly is this guy?

Ye Xunhuan is quite popular and well-known now, but that’s mostly among the high society. For ordinary people, not many have heard of him!

Although many people don’t know Ye Xunhuan, they recognize Shanpao, especially the regulars at the bar. They know that Shanpao watches over the ’Never Go Back’ bar and is a formidable warrior under Xiao Jiu!

But now, Shanpao was standing respectfully beside Ye Xunhuan, like a subordinate.

This made everyone curious about who Ye Xunhuan really was.

Could he be the mysterious Brother Xiao Jiu?

Whether it’s Ye Xunhuan or Xiao Jiu, ordinary people are unaware of them. Those who know their identities are generally well-respected figures.

Except for the employees within the Huangtu Group, of course.

Young Master Du was initially walking towards Ye Xunhuan, but upon hearing his words, his steps slightly stalled, and his already gloomy face turned even darker.

Ye Xunhuan’s shout had not only asked him to take his people away but also slapped his face, provoking him!

Initially, no one knew who this man was. They didn’t know if he had come to find He Sichan on his own or if he was sent by someone else.

But now, with Ye Xunhuan’s shout, everyone knew this man was dispatched to find He Sichan.

If the opponent didn’t show up, it would be seen as cowardice, indicating to everyone that this so-called Young Master Du was nothing but a coward.

But if Young Master Du did appear, no one knew what might happen next.

Young Master Du’s heart was filled with chill at the moment; did this guy really think he would be afraid and not show up?

Thinking of this, Young Master Du immediately increased his pace and said coldly, "My dogs aren’t just for anyone to beat up!"

Young Master Du’s voice immediately drew everyone’s eyes to him.

Facing the gaze of the crowd, Young Master Du seemed entirely indifferent, his face full of arrogance and disdain.

Looking at the poised and handsome Young Master Du, many people were puzzled. Who on earth is this guy? Doesn’t he know this is Xiao Jiu’s territory, and Shanpao is standing respectfully, yet he dares to come forward?

Aren’t you afraid Xiao Jiu might keep you here?

Is Young Master Du afraid?

If he were afraid, he wouldn’t be here!

However, when Shanpao saw this Young Master Du, he seemed to recall something; his eyes widened roundly, and a look of disbelief spread across his face.

In an instant, Young Master Du approached Ye Xunhuan, but he ignored Ye Xunhuan and didn’t bother with the man Ye Xunhuan had knocked down. Instead, he spoke to the bartender at the bar, "Get me a Whiskey Sour!"

Upon hearing Young Master Du’s words, the bartender was momentarily stunned and instinctively looked at Shanpao.

Seeing Shanpao nod, the bartender prepared a Whiskey Sour for Young Master Du!

As the bartender began mixing the drink, Shanpao walked over to Young Master Du: "Young Master Du, I hope you don’t make a scene. This is Brother Jiu’s bar; it won’t look good otherwise!"

Hearing Shanpao’s words, Young Master Du gave Shanpao a lazy glance, "You’re Shanpao, a top fighter under Xiao Jiu, I know you!"

"Young Master Du..."

"You’re pretty good, ever thought about expanding to Donghai?

" Young Master Du didn’t immediately confront Ye Xunhuan or make a move on He Sichan but instead attempted to poach Shanpao from under Xiao Jiu’s nose: "In Donghai, I can offer you a bigger stage, definitely better than staying in this small bar! "

Young Master Du’s sudden attempt to poach left Shanpao stunned, but he quickly came to his senses: "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Du. But in this world, we speak of loyalty, and Brother Xiao Jiu has treated me well; I would never betray him!"

Though the name Shanpao sounds silly, it certainly does not imply he is.

On the contrary, Shanpao is quite clever. Otherwise, he couldn’t have become the top fighter under Xiao Jiu based on brute force alone!

Now, Shanpao knows that sitting next to him is Ye Xunhuan, whose power and background far outweigh Young Master Du’s.

If he agreed to Young Master Du’s offer now, it would be like letting Ye Xunhuan deal with him!

And even if Ye Xunhuan doesn’t deal with him, what would people on the streets say about him later?

After all, in their line of work, loyalty is paramount!

Besides, Young Master Du might just be saying this casually—who knows if he’s serious!

Even if it’s true, Shanpao could never betray Xiao Jiu. He feels that following Xiao Jiu offers more potential than anyone else!

The reason Shanpao thinks this way is completely because of Ye Xunhuan.

He’s witnessed Ye Xunhuan’s terrifying power and knows about the downfall of the Lin family caused by Ye Xunhuan.

Upon hearing Shanpao’s words, Young Master Du showed a hint of disappointment on his face: "That’s really a pity, but if you ever want to come to Donghai, you can always find me!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Du!" Shanpao responded politely.

Upon hearing the conversation between Shanpao and Young Master Du, Ye Xunhuan slightly furrowed his brows, wondering if this guy and Xiao Jiu were on the same path?

It’s just that he’s from Donghai!

Ye Xunhuan isn’t very clear about the forces of the underground world in the country, but he does know that in the last century, there was a big shot named Du Yuesheng from Donghai—very impressive!

"Young Master Du, about today’s matter..."

At this moment, the bartender finished mixing the drink and handed it to Young Master Du!

Young Master Du picked up the glass, took a small sip, and slowly said, "Shanpao, honestly, I don’t want to make a big deal out of this either."

"After all, this is Xiao Jiu’s place, and I should give him some face!" Young Master Du said sincerely and seriously, "But Shanpao, if I give face to Xiao Jiu and this gets out to Donghai, where would I put my face?"

Saying this, Young Master Du lightly tapped his cheek!

Upon hearing Young Master Du’s words, Shanpao’s heart sank. He initially thought this guy was reasonable and could smooth things over, but now it seems he’s just as rumored!

Even when angry, he remains gentle and urbane, like a true gentleman.

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan suddenly muttered, "You think your face is an airplane, and no place in Donghai can hold it?"

Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s muttering, Shanpao’s heart suddenly sank, as an ominous premonition welled up!

Young Master Du’s face changed at once, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, "Well said, Donghai is so big, nowhere to hold it!"
