130: Chapter 130: Su City Dragon Gate Martial Arts School, Dragon Master 130: Chapter 130: Su City Dragon Gate Martial Arts School, Dragon Master …
After leaving the hotel, Ning Fan did not feel a sense of relief, instead, he walked with a troubled mind.
The Rain Emperor had retreated.
But this person should not be underestimated.
His strength was still unfathomable, and what was troublesome was his Face-changing Technique.
Such an advanced Face-changing Technique could easily disguise him as anyone, and it was very difficult to recognize.
Just now, he had almost been fooled himself.
If it weren’t for slight changes in behavior, Feifei’s disguise would have been completely indecipherable.
At that moment, he only had some suspicions, not certain that Feifei was disguised, nor did he know who the other person was.
He merely guessed that it might be the Rain Emperor, but he didn’t expect the other party to admit it so quickly.
“If he hadn’t admitted it, I really wouldn’t have known who he was; maybe he was Feifei’s sister, or perhaps a transvestite…”
Ning Fan muttered.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.
If the Rain Emperor disguised himself as a stranger or someone else around him, how was he to recognize him?
If his disguise were even better, and he thoroughly researched the identity, background, and even the experiences of the persona he was imitating.
It would be like playing himself.
Then it would be very difficult to recognize him.
If not recognized, it would be restraint, and trouble would ensue at that moment.
Upon realizing this, Ning Fan’s face clouded with worry, and he let out a bitter laugh.
Damnit!
The Rain Emperor, male or female?
From the fierce battle earlier, it was completely unknown whether the opponent was male or female, since the Face-changing Technique was powerful.
Thus, other aspects were naturally impressive too, from appearance to voice, it was completely impossible to determine the gender.
“Had I known, I should have grabbed those big buns on his chest earlier.
If they felt bad, then he definitely must be a transvestite.”
Ning Fan shrugged his shoulders, deciding to check the gender the next time he encountered the Rain Emperor.
In the late night…
Inside the basement of the Dragon Gate Martial Arts School in Su City.
The basement was luxuriously decorated, with all rooms exquisitely and lavishly furnished, and the floor was laid with mink carpets that extended to the most luxurious room inside.
At the moment, several people were inside this room, with the most prominent being the one sitting in front of the desk.
Clad in a sharp, black suit, a man sat with his legs crossed at the desk, smoking and perusing a Bible with keen interest.
“Whirr…”
As the pages turned, the man softly read out the content of the Bible, at times frowning in thought, at times smiling.
In the dim light, his face was unclear, but looking at his side profile, he had a high nose bridge and an elegant demeanor.
This was a very handsome young man, around thirty years old.
This man was the helmsman of Dragon Gate in Su City, known as Dragon Lord to the locals, though many did not know his real name was Long Tianze.
Dragon Lord held a status in Jianghu comparable to Ninth Lord, with formidable strength and a profound background in Su City’s power circles.
“Life and death are decreed by fate, wealth and honor are from heaven.” He took a slight sip of coffee and murmured this phrase.
Then he continued reading.
In Su City, he had founded a martial arts school named Dragon Gate Martial Arts School, under which there were dozens of branch schools, handling the entirety of Su City’s business.
The businesses of the martial arts school were simple and rough, often engaging with the business dealings of the great families and power circles in Su City.
Responsible for supporting and taking care of their business, of course, most of these businesses were not legitimate.
Although Dragon Gate Martial Arts School is a martial arts school on the surface, it actually serves as a covert leading underground power.
In Su City, it entangled and penetrated various factions like tree roots, stirring trouble and reaping benefits.
At this moment…
Two people, wearing stark black suits that looked very stiff, were standing behind Lord Dragon, bowing respectfully.
These two were among the top experts of Dragon Gate, one named Long Yao, the other Long Zhixin.
Long Yao, with long black hair draped over his shoulders, had a gaunt, sickly body, a gloomy complexion without a trace of blood, pallid as a sheet of paper, and with that perpetually unsmiling face, he was like a ghoul.
Compared to Long Yao, Long Zhixin had a robust and towering build, with rough-hewn lines, his body’s muscles twisted like qiu dragons, exuding a formidable masculinity.
Long Zhixin was remarkably strong, having few rivals within Dragon Gate, and was known there as the “human tank.”
The two stood quietly behind Long Tianze.
It wasn’t until Lord Dragon shifted his gaze from his book that Long Zhixin stepped forward.
“Lord Dragon, according to the reliable information we have received, it seems that Xu Mingqiu and his son were killed by a mysterious man known as Ninth Lord,”
Long Zhixin respectfully reported.
The man, who was reading the Bible, had an expressionless face as if in thought, but his expression subtly changed upon hearing the name “Ninth Lord.”
“Zhonghai’s Ninth Lord?”
Long Tianze set down the Bible, adjusted his glasses, and exuded an air of genteel sophistication.
“Hasn’t Zhonghai’s Ninth Lord disappeared for several years?
He has appeared again?”
Long Tianze said in a gentle tone.
His voice and demeanor were very cultured, giving the impression one was dealing with a gentle, refined young man.
“Subordinate also finds it strange, sir.
This person was rumored to have died many years ago, but our information is accurate.
Since his reappearance, he has accomplished several significant feats,”
Long Zhixin respectfully said.
“Interesting,” Lord Dragon swiveled his chair to face Long Zhixin, smiling as he spoke, “Tell me, what has the famous Ninth Lord done?”
“According to reports, Ninth Lord is now aiding the Xu Family of Zhonghai City.
Xu Mingqiu was directly eliminated by him,”
“Haha, fascinating, quite fascinating indeed.
If it truly is Zhonghai’s Ninth Lord, then not just Xu Mingqiu, even ten Xu Mingqius would be no match for him.”
Over the years, while Long Tianze was infiltrating forces in Su City, he had not neglected to extend his influence toward neighboring Zhonghai City.
Zhonghai City was too tempting a prize, and Xu Mingqiu was just a small piece of the pie, unfortunately falling at Ninth Lord’s feet.
With Ninth Lord having made his move, it would now be troublesome for Dragon Gate to extend further into Zhonghai City.
Thinking this, Long Tianze stood up, stroking his slender and clean fingers, and looked at Long Zhixin.
“Ninth Lord is not easy to deal with.
How do you think I compare to Ninth Lord?”
Long Tianze said with a faint smile.
“Of course, Ninth Lord can’t compare to you, Lord Dragon.
Your reputation is widespread through Su City and Zhonghai City.
In all of Jianghu, who remembers that Ninth Lord now?
This era of Jianghu is yours.”
Long Zhixin firmly stated.
“You’re not entirely wrong, but that’s not entirely accurate either.
This person once swept through all the powers, subduing the underground forces of Zhonghai City to serve him.
His influence was incredibly vast,”
As Long Tianze touched the Bible, he shook his head slightly.
“But that’s all in the past now.
Nowadays, your renown far surpasses Ninth Lord.”
Still smiling, Long Tianze continued to shake his head, “Back then, I learned from Ninth Lord and established Dragon Gate, made a name in Su City, and eliminated most of the city’s forces.
All these methods and techniques were learned from Ninth Lord.”
Long Zhixin was startled, realizing Lord Dragon had been a disciple of Ninth Lord.
Was Ninth Lord really that formidable?
“So…”
Long Tianze knew what surprised Long Zhixin.
“That’s right, I even modeled my title ‘Lord Dragon’ after Ninth Lord’s.
So, do you still think I am better than Ninth Lord?”
