"Heh, young man, what do you mean by that?"
The Dragon King looked at Chen Xiao, still with a smiling demeanor.
However, judging by his tone, it was as if this was their first meeting.
Chen Xiao sneered and asked, "Long Xiao, don't you remember me? We met yesterday at the hospital!"
The Dragon King feigned a sudden realization, "So it's Doctor Chen. I was wondering why you looked so familiar. I didn't expect to meet you in such a setting, so I didn't dare to acknowledge you just now."
Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback.
Wasn't this young man the underground kingpin of Jiangcheng? How did he become a doctor?
Then, the Dragon King suddenly changed his tone, "Doctor Chen, I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace towards my brother. However, a spade is a spade. If you don't clarify what you just said, don't blame me, Long, for turning hostile!"
Chen Xiao scoffed dismissively, "Haven't I made it clear enough? The matter of hitting Han Bin with a car was not instigated by Da Xiang!"
The Dragon King said coldly, "Da Xiang's subordinate has already confessed. Are you still trying to defend him?"
Chen Xiao sneered, "With the power of your Pluto Hall, making someone lie through their teeth is incredibly easy. You call this evidence?"
The Dragon King stood with his hands behind his back and asked again, "Then if it wasn't Da Xiang, who do you say did it?"
Chen Xiao said calmly, "As I've said, this entire charade was orchestrated by you. Therefore, it wasn't someone else who hit Han Bin, it was you yourself!"
As soon as Chen Xiao said this, everyone felt he was being absurd. It made no sense for the Dragon King to hit his own brother just to frame Da Xiang.
The Dragon King laughed, "Listen to yourself. What are you saying? Why would I hit my own brother? Does that make any sense?"
Chen Xiao said calmly, "Precisely because it sounds unreasonable, I am certain it was you!"
"Because when I treated Han Bin, I examined him. His strength is at least at the Hua Jing realm. I ask you, which Hua Jing master could be hit by a truck?"
"Yet, he was hit. There can only be one reason: he willingly allowed himself to be hit!"
"Why would he willingly get hit by a truck? Clearly, it was his elder brother, you, who ordered him to do it!"
Chen Xiao thought of this, inspired by Han Jiuchian.
Sometimes, the more illogical something seemed, the more likely it was the truth!
The Dragon King looked at Chen Xiao with interest and asked again, "Even if I could order him to do it, why would I? Am I not afraid of accidentally killing my brother? Da Xiang is not worthy of being compared to my brother!"
Chen Xiao added, "This is where your calculation is most precise. Because you knew I would be at the Central Hospital, and you knew I had the ability to save Han Bin!"
"Long Xiao, your greatest strengths are your meticulous calculations and your ability to gather intelligence. You know everyone present like the back of your hand!"
"And this is why you were able to become the Lord of Pluto Hall. Otherwise, with your lack of martial prowess, no martial arts skills, and even being an eunuch, how could you lead the entire Pluto Hall? Why would so many Hua Jing masters willingly be your lackeys?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place erupted!
What? The esteemed Lord of Pluto Hall, the Dragon King, actually had no martial arts skills and was an eunuch?
Was this true or false?
With Chen Xiao's reminder, everyone took a closer look at the Dragon King... The more they looked, the more it seemed plausible. Had this kid actually hit the nail on the head?
The Dragon King's face contorted. Being an eunuch was his deepest pain, his absolute taboo, not to be touched!
Yet, Chen Xiao had exposed his secret in front of everyone today. Killing intent surged from him!
"Brat, you're very smart, and everything you said is correct. However, you still cannot escape death today!"
The Dragon King abandoned all pretense of scheming and revealed his true colors.
After all, Pluto Hall possessed formidable hard power. Even if their cause was unjust, no one would dare to speak out!
Han Jiuchian leaped forward and declared, "Dragon King, if you want to kill Chen Xiao, you'll have to ask me first if I agree. You'll have to ask all the big shots of Jiangbei if they agree!"
Han Jiuchian had been waiting for an opportunity to rise up, and he had finally found it.
The best opportunity was now.
The Dragon King sneered, "Han Jiuchian, you represent at most yourself. You claim to represent all the big shots of Jiangbei. Are you worthy?"
"You'll know if I'm worthy or not in a moment!"
Han Jiuchian's gaze turned to the assembled magnates.
However, the magnates who had agreed to his terms were now completely unmoved. Some even lowered their heads and took a few steps back.
"You guys?!"
Han Jiuchian's mind reeled, and he immediately understood that these people had betrayed him!
Liu Songqing of the Fierce Tiger Sect took the lead and said, "Boss Han, I'm truly sorry. We've decided to remain neutral. We won't get involved in your affairs!"
Han Jiuchian's eyes blazed with fury, "What a shortsighted bunch! Don't you know that the only outcome of remaining neutral is to be devoured by Pluto Hall piece by piece!"
Before he could finish, Liu Yan of the Flying Swallow Sect said, "Being devoured is better than being killed. Boss Han, I advise you to mind your own business. An arm cannot twist a thigh. Pluto Hall unifying Jiangbei is the will of the people!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Han Jiuchian was so enraged he cursed loudly.
His composure, which he had cultivated for decades, had never faltered, but at this moment, he was trembling with anger.
At this moment, Da Xiang said in a gruff voice, "Boss Han, don't be angry. Even if they all betray you, at least you still have my master and me. The three of us are enough to deal with Pluto Hall!"
Although no one knew where Da Xiang's confidence came from, it had to be said that he was indeed full of heroic spirit at this moment!
The Dragon King smiled slightly, "Esteemed magnates, whoever can capture these three traitors will be our Pluto Hall's friend. This is a rare opportunity. If you wait for Pluto Hall to make a move, you'll lose your chance!"
Boss Wang, however, stated directly, "Dragon King, as we said, we are remaining neutral. While we will not help Boss Han against Pluto Hall, we will also not help Pluto Hall stab Boss Han in the back!"
This was the sentiment of all the magnates in Jiangbei.
They were not fools and could naturally see through the Dragon King's intentions.
He was trying to pit them against each other, allowing Pluto Hall to reap the benefits in the end.
However, there were still some ungrateful scoundrels with rebellious minds, such as Hu San and Zuo Tianyou.
Their gazes simultaneously fell upon Chen Xiao, "Kid, it's you. Do you dare to come out and exchange a few moves!"
These two seemed to be looking for a soft target to bully, and Chen Xiao, being the youngest, was clearly that soft target.
However, as soon as they spoke, Da Xiang lunged forward, "If you want to fight my master, you have to get past me first!"
