Chapter 801 A Contest!
If they were ordinary martial artists, they would be easy to deal with. But they were from the Japanese Sakura Organization, skilled in ninjutsu. Although it was mere deception, it was difficult for ordinary martial artists to handle.
No wonder Lone Wolf was so insistent on being the captain. Among this group, only he could deal with the Sakura Organization's forces.
Chen Xuan knew that Lone Wolf had clashed with the Sakura Organization several times and had successfully killed one of their second-in-commands, causing a huge sensation internationally at the time!
"Lone Wolf, I understand. You must lead the team this time!"
Chen Xuan said, leading Lone Wolf over.
The people from the Xuanji Hall looked at Chen Xuan and Lone Wolf with suspicion in at least half of their eyes.
After plotting for so long, it was possible that Lone Wolf was bribing Chen Xuan.
Of course, the other half of the people trusted Chen Xuan. They joined the Xuanji Hall precisely because of Chen Xuan, and they believed in his character and that he would handle things according to the rules.
"Mr. Chen, in all the missions I, Huo Zhentian, have undertaken since joining the Xuanji Hall, none have ended in failure! Moreover, I am a master of internal energy. Have you considered choosing me as the captain?"
Huo Zhentian stood tall and proud, full of confidence in his resume and strength.
Upon hearing this, everyone regained their confidence. In terms of seniority and strength, they all believed Huo Zhentian was superior to Lone Wolf.
Yang Chaotian also nodded and whispered to Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen, I think Master Huo is quite suitable."
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan said, "I think it's more appropriate for Lone Wolf to lead the team, and let Huo Zhentian be Lone Wolf's second-in-command!"
What?!
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
Stunned gazes fell upon Chen Xuan.
Nepotism!
It must be favoritism!
Lone Wolf must have given Chen Xuan some benefits just now.
Yang Chaotian was also very surprised. Why would Chen Xuan trust Lone Wolf so much? Was it just because Lone Wolf was Chen Xuan's friend?
Huo Zhentian clenched his fists, veins bulging on the back of his hands, and said through gritted teeth, "Mr. Chen, this is too unfair!"
"My word is fairness!"
Chen Xuan's imposing presence completely suppressed Huo Zhentian.
Huo Zhentian's anger surged, and he said, "Chen Xuan, so you're that kind of person. I was wrong to trust you, bah! Someone who plays favorites!"
"Shut up! Don't be rude to Mr. Chen!"
Yang Chaotian shouted.
Bang!
A punch landed on Huo Zhentian's chest, making him cry out in pain.
"You..."
Huo Zhentian was about to speak but was intimidated by Chen Xuan's gaze.
"Didn't you say your skills were very good? Alright, then I'll let you understand before you die."
Chen Xuan finished speaking and looked at Lone Wolf, "Lone Wolf, have a fight with him!"
"Alright!"
Lone Wolf sighed helplessly but still nodded.
Lone Wolf didn't even consider a martial artist of Huo Zhentian's level to be a threat. If Chen Xuan hadn't asked, he wouldn't have bothered to lift a finger.
Huo Zhentian was slightly taken aback by this, and then a cold sneer appeared on his face, "Mr. Chen, if I win, the captain position is mine, and Lone Wolf must be my subordinate!"
"Good!"
Chen Xuan agreed.
Huo Zhentian was overjoyed!
How could he not handle a favored subordinate like Lone Wolf?
In fact, Huo Zhentian's anger was also fueled by his own ambitions. He wanted to perform well in front of Chen Xuan. If he defeated Lone Wolf, Chen Xuan would surely value him even more.
"But if you lose, Lone Wolf will be the captain, and you will be his subordinate."
As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, Lone Wolf preempted him, "Let me state first, I don't need him to be my subordinate!"
Wow!
This guy actually looked down on Huo Zhentian!
"You're asking for death!"
These words completely enraged Huo Zhentian. He raised his fist and punched towards Lone Wolf's face.
"Master Huo, please stop! The contest hasn't started yet!"
Huo Zhentian's speed was too fast. By the time Yang Chaotian reacted, it was already too late. Lone Wolf was Chen Xuan's friend, and if anything happened, he would also be implicated!
He rushed forward, but Chen Xuan stopped him.
"Mr. Chen..."
Yang Chaotian said, puzzled.
Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Lone Wolf will be fine."
"How is that possible?"
Yang Chaotian was incredulous.
The next moment!
With a muffled thud, Huo Zhentian was sent crashing to the ground, rolling forward like a bowling ball.
He suspected he had seen wrong and rubbed his eyes vigorously, only to find that it was indeed Huo Zhentian!
How could this be?
Huo Zhentian gritted his teeth in pain, endured the agony, and struggled to get up from the ground, his body swaying...
In contrast, Lone Wolf stood in place with a blank expression, not a single thread of his clothing out of place.
Everyone in the entire venue gasped as they witnessed this scene!
"You..."
Huo Zhentian opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
"Master Huo, you lost! What else do you have to say?"
Chen Xuan smiled faintly and then looked at the others, "And you all, what else do you have to say?"
Everyone was stunned and subconsciously shook their heads.
Lone Wolf was stronger than Huo Zhentian, and they had nothing more to say!
"I want to have another match!"
Huo Zhentian said indignantly.
He had been defeated in front of so many people today. If he didn't regain his honor, how could he survive in the future?
"Don't be ridiculous!"
Yang Chaotian reprimanded him.
Chen Xuan waved his hand to stop Yang Chaotian and said to Huo Zhentian, "Speak, what else do you want to contest?"
Everyone looked at Huo Zhentian, who uttered two words: "Firearms!"
He stood tall and confident!
"That's right, Master Huo is a master marksman, capable of hitting a target a hundred paces away without fail!"
"Back in the day, he killed quite a few people with his incredible marksmanship!"
Chen Xuan looked at Huo Zhentian as if he were an idiot.
Did this guy not know what Lone Wolf did?
He was the world's foremost sniper!
In terms of marksmanship, Chen Xuan might not be able to beat Lone Wolf right now, as Chen Xuan hadn't touched those things for three years.
Yang Chaotian raised his hand to signal for silence, and the surroundings immediately quieted down. He said solemnly, "Huo Zhentian, you must keep your word. You're an elder, are you not going to honor your agreement?"
Huo Zhentian's face reddened, but to save face, he no longer cared about being shameless!
"It didn't start just now, so it doesn't count!"
This Huo Zhentian was truly shameless when it came to being shameless.
Yang Chaotian was so angry he wanted to punch him.
He was about to speak when Chen Xuan waved his hand, "Go find two firearms."
"Mr. Chen, are we really going to compete?" Yang Chaotian frowned.
"Yes!"
"Perhaps we should forget it..." Yang Chaotian said, looking at Lone Wolf with concern.
China explicitly prohibits the use of firearms, and ordinary people would hardly know how to use them, let alone be skilled. Huo Zhentian had spent ten years abroad and was very familiar with firearms.
Although Lone Wolf had won just now, that was in martial arts. In a marksmanship contest, Lone Wolf's chances of losing were high.
"Go ahead."
Seeing Chen Xuan's insistence, Yang Chaotian could only have someone find firearms.
Although China prohibited firearms, with Yang Chaotian's capabilities, finding two firearms was easy.
Soon, someone walked over with a tray, carrying two firearms and a box of ammunition!
Several other people stood a hundred meters away, where the targets had already been set up.
