Looking at the crowd blocking his way, Lin Feng’s brows furrowed slightly. A trace of helplessness rose in his heart.
He truly had not expected that all he wanted was to call off his engagement with Shen Chuwei, yet before he could even meet her, he had to step into the octagonal cage and fight someone.
“Lin Feng, why aren’t you saying anything? Lost your nerve?” Sun Shaohong sneered again when he saw Lin Feng remain silent.
He pointed toward the exit of the arena and mocked, “If you don’t have the guts, then get as far away as you can right now! And don’t you ever step foot in here again! Maybe then we won’t pursue what you said earlier!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding spectators echoed him one after another.
“That’s right! If you don’t have the guts, then get lost!”
“Why don’t you take a good look at yourself? What are you even worth? And you dare set your sights on Shen Chuwei?”
“A toad wanting to eat swan meat. You must be dreaming out of your mind!”
The insults from the crowd brought a flash of satisfaction into Sun Shaohong’s eyes.
Earlier, in that clothing store, he had been forced to retreat in embarrassment because of nothing more than a look from Lin Feng. Ever since then, he had regarded it as a humiliation. He had even been thinking about how to take revenge. He had not expected that before long, they would run into each other again at this Underground Boxing Match.
The difference was that this time he was not alone. There were plenty of people around him.
“Lin Feng, didn’t expect this, did you? The wheel of fortune turns. Let’s see how you deal with this now.” Sun Shaohong sneered inwardly as he watched Lin Feng remain silent.
“If you walk out like this, by tomorrow you’ll become the laughingstock of Nancheng’s upper circle! When that happens, no matter how much Zhao Qingling likes you, the Zhao Family will never allow you two to be together!”
“And if you agree, then you’re dead for sure! The octagonal cage isn’t somewhere just anyone can step into. Lin Feng, this is the price for offending me!”
Lin Feng had no idea what Sun Shaohong was thinking. Seeing the crowd pressing him aggressively, his brows knit tighter, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, inside the octagonal cage, Shen Chuwei had just finished a match. She clearly noticed the commotion in the stands.
“What’s going on over there? Why is everyone gathered together?” Shen Chuwei took the towel handed to her by her assistant and casually wiped the sweat from her forehead as she asked in surprise.
“Sister Wei, it seems one of your admirers was talking big and offended everyone,” the assistant said with a giggle. “Now they’re making a scene, saying that guy must either follow the rules and enter the octagonal cage for a fight, or leave immediately.” You are reading on novelping . com, the official source.
“An admirer?” Shen Chuwei shook her head, clearly not taking it to heart.
As the star fighter of this underground boxing arena and someone well known in the entire underground circle, she naturally had many admirers. Some of them had even gone so far that they caused her trouble.
Because of that, to prevent excessive harassment, Shen Chuwei had established this rule. Anyone who wanted to see her had to first enter the octagonal cage and fight the on-duty boxer of the day.
It had to be said that this rule worked very well. Since then, those so-called admirers who frequently harassed her had decreased significantly.
“Tell them not to go too far,” Shen Chuwei said softly. “As for that admirer, if he wants to see me, he should follow the rules.”
“Alright, I’ll tell them right away.” The assistant nodded and quickly walked toward the stands.
At this moment, Lin Feng’s expression was growing darker and darker.
Although he considered himself to have a good temper, that did not mean he would tolerate others pointing at his nose and hurling insults at him without restraint. Especially since their words were becoming increasingly unpleasant.
Seeing that the crowd still had no intention of stopping, a cold glint flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes.
Just then, a woman in professional attire walked over quickly.
The moment the crowd saw her, those who had been mocking Lin Feng immediately fell silent, and respect appeared on their faces.
“Sister Wei said you shouldn’t go too far,” the woman said in a low voice as she glanced at the people around Lin Feng. Her gaze then fell on him.
“You’re Sister Wei’s admirer?” She sized Lin Feng up, a hint of amusement in her eyes. “If you want to pursue Sister Wei, you need to have some real ability. Everything must be done according to the rules.”
Lin Feng frowned and instinctively tried to explain, “I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m not…”
Before he could finish, the woman waved her hand dismissively.
“No need to explain. Men are all the same in my eyes,” she said bluntly. “If you want to see Sister Wei, you have to enter the octagonal cage and fight. That’s the rule Sister Wei set. No one can break it.” The source of this chapter is novelping . com.
After a pause, she added, “Although I hope you’ll be brave, I still have to remind you. Once you enter the octagonal cage, your life is your own responsibility. Especially today’s on-duty boxer, who’s known as the Violent Bear. There are so many people he’s crippled that you can’t even count them on one hand.”
She let out a cold laugh. “So be rational. Don’t let a moment of impulse cost you something you can’t recover.”
With that, the woman turned and left without caring about Lin Feng’s reaction.
Watching her back, Lin Feng sighed inwardly.
Originally, he had planned to meet Shen Chuwei directly and bring up canceling the engagement. But now it was clear that if he wanted to see her, he had to enter the octagonal cage and fight first.
“What kind of mess is this? I just want to cancel an engagement,” Lin Feng complained inwardly.
Sun Shaohong stepped closer again.
He glanced at Lin Feng and sneered, “So, Lin Feng, have you made your decision? If you ask me, you should just get lost. That was Sister Wei’s personal assistant just now. Even she advised you to leave. You’d better have some self-awareness.”
“Are you done yet?” Lin Feng suddenly turned his head and glared at Sun Shaohhong.
A sharp cold light flashed in his eyes.
From the very beginning, Sun Shaohong had been buzzing around like an annoying fly. If this were not a public place, and if acting here would not be inappropriate, Lin Feng would have already slapped him against the wall.
“You don’t need to mock me.”
After glaring at Sun Shaohong, Lin Feng swept his gaze across the spectators who had been cursing him earlier.
“Isn’t it just entering the octagonal cage for a fight? Fine. I agree!”
