Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 550: The True Encounter of Xiaoxuan

Xiang Yu had stumbled into this place by mistake and the person involved was Xiao Xuan; he was merely posing as Xiao Xuan.

Furthermore, having delved into the underworld, Xiang Yu’s power would only grow. As long as these people remained in this line of work, they were bound to meet sooner or later.

"Who is your boss?" Xiang Yu asked as he looked at the two men.

"You came here specifically to find out about this matter, didn’t you?" Suddenly, Zhong Huashan spoke up.

"That’s right, I’ve been looking for you all along. Actually, even without that assignment, I would still have gone to kill Tie Sanjiang." Xiang Yu said coldly as he looked at the two men.

It was at this moment that Ba Ge suddenly laughed, a very cheerful laugh. He then looked at Xiang Yu and said, "We knew we had missed someone back then, but because we were pressed for time and you were just a child, we didn’t pay it much mind. It’s unexpected that you would find your way here today."

Xiang Yu knew nothing about the situation and had no idea what had transpired, so he didn’t dare say too much for fear of blowing his cover. Since they saw him as Xiao Xuan, he might as well just go by Xiao Xuan.

"After we left that night, we came back but couldn’t find you despite searching for a long time and eventually gave up. How did you survive?" Ba Ge asked curiously as he looked at Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu thought it over; when he met Xiao Xuan, it had been in a small temple in a mountain village, with an otherworldly master named Hong Jinshuai, along with Xiao Xuan and Zhang Hongbo.

"That night I happened to run outside to play, so I narrowly escaped disaster. In the end, Master Hong took me in." Xiang Yu feigned a sorrowful expression, as if pained by the memory.

Clearly, Zhong Huashan and Ba Ge both believed what Xiang Yu had told them.

"So who is your boss, really?" Xiang Yu asked again.

Having confirmed that Xiang Yu was indeed that child, he was in high spirits. Not only had he beaten Zhong Huashan today, but he had also found the child. If he could take care of these people, then apart from the boss, no one else would know who was behind that past incident.

For many years, anxiety had plagued him deep down, fearing that the incident would be exposed. He worried that the child was lurking in the shadows, watching them, but today he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Because he knew the boss would never speak of it.

"It doesn’t really matter if I tell you or not since you’re a dead man anyway." Ba Ge, in a good mood, sat there and said to Xiang Yu.

"Are you really going to spill it?" Zhong Huashan asked Ba Ge, puzzled.

"Of course, I’ll tell you, but only when I visit your graves. Then you can explain it to your father down there." Ba Ge said with a smiling gaze. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

This guy was a Smiling Tiger; if someone didn’t know him well, they’d think he had a friendly face. When Xiang Yu first met him, he had been duped by that smiling demeanor.

"It’s just us three here now; surely you aren’t worried that I’ll escape," Xiang Yu said as he sat there, looking at Ba Ge.

"Of course you won’t escape. We had already taken a deadly oath not to betray him, after all," Ba Ge said.

Xiang Yu had some understanding of the older generation in the underworld. They were loyal to their patron, Guan Er Ye, and took their oaths very seriously, seldom breaking them.

At this point, Xiang Yu turned his gaze to Zhong Huashan, hoping he would reveal the information.

And Zhong Huashan was the first to speak as he looked at Xiang Yu, "Where did you see her?"

What Zhong Huashan cared about was his daughter, and the "her" he mentioned naturally referred to Zhong Min.

Thinking of Zhong Min, Xiang Yu’s heart ached once again. He didn’t lie to Zhong Huashan and then told him the location. When Zhong Huashan heard it was the Middle East, his face showed a complex expression, as if he was lost in thought.

But in the end, he sighed and said, "I have wronged her."

"Now, can you tell me who is your boss? Who exactly gave that order back then, was it really your boss? What was his purpose?" Xiang Yu looked at Zhong Huashan.

Zhong Huashan seemed a bit deflated now, and Xiang Yu wanted to seize the opportunity to find out who had been behind the incident back then.

"Why do you care about all this when you’re about to die?" Zhong Huashan looked at Xiang Yu.

"Even if I die, I want to go with my eyes closed," Xiang Yu persuaded gently.

Ultimately, Zhong Huashan still shook his head with a wry smile and then said, "Actually, we also don’t know the true identity of our boss. Originally, the nine of us were leaders in society. One day, a mysterious person approached us. He always had his face covered and gave us a task.

We naturally refused, as we were all prominent figures in the underworld. How could we take orders from a mysterious person? In the end, he promised us a certain payment and also threatened to kill all of us if we didn’t agree. Of course, I didn’t believe he had the power to do so.

However, the end result proved he not only had the power but also far exceeded our imagination. Comparing him to us, we were like ants; he could easily crush us to death.

I don’t know why he chose us, perhaps he thought we were ruthless and unprincipled. He brought the nine of us together and had a blue eagle tattooed on each of our backs. We called ourselves ’The Blue Ten Hawks’."

Zhong Huashan paused here, then lay back on the sofa and once again drifted into his memories. Today, he had recalled too much—the debts of the past eventually had to be repaid.

Smiling Tiger just sat there grinning, puffing on his cigarette without saying a word. He had sworn never to speak of this matter, and he had kept his word.

Now, it was Zhong Huashan’s turn to recount the past, and Smiling Tiger would not interrupt. After all, there were only three of them here. Once the whole story was told, he would kill the other two, and the whole affair would sink into the sea like a stone, becoming an eternal mystery.

"After gathering us, the boss then disappeared. We didn’t know his name, nor had we ever seen his face. We only knew he was terrifying, with boundless power behind him. About ten days passed—I remember clearly because it was Qin’er’s tenth birthday, I was celebrating with my daughter when I received the boss’s notice.

The ten of us got prepared, armed ourselves. We didn’t know what we were about to do, everything was just following the boss’s orders.

That night we broke into a residential area. The area was guarded, all of whom we silently killed.

There were one hundred and eighty-three people in that community; we killed one hundred and eighty-two. Only you survived."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu’s entire body trembled. These were over a hundred living people—they weren’t animals, and yet Zhong Huashan and his men had killed them all in one night.

Even Xiang Yu, who had killed countless men, could not help but tremble at the news. What was more, this wasn’t on a battlefield but in a city.

At that moment, Xiang Yu’s eyes turned blood red, his hand firmly gripping the hilt of the knife. Regardless, Zhong Huashan and Smiling Tiger couldn’t be allowed to live today. They had committed heinous crimes, and it was a wonder how they had managed to stay alive until now.

Zhong Huashan could feel the murderous aura emanating from Xiang Yu’s body and could only sigh before continuing...
