Tang Ling recalled his mission status nervously. He did not find any mistake except for not passing out.

When he saw Boss Huang, the latter also spotted his return. He grunted viciously before he stood up, “Who the hell told the public that I’m going to stop eating and die?”

Sh*t!

Tang Ling had goosebumps all over his back as he turned around and made a run for it.

“You little bastard, stand right there! I’ll make sure you survive my beating!” Boss Huang grabbed his rob and chased him.

Strength-wise, Tang Ling and Boss Huang were heaven and earth apart. If Boss Huang really wanted to teach him a lesson, Tang Ling could never outrun him.

In the blink of an eye, Boss Huang was already behind Tang Ling. He moved faster than the Transient Step and he swung the rod at Tang Ling without a second thought.

Tang Ling’s Precise Instinct automatically moved his body and he dodged the rod as if he saw it coming. However, all he did was dodge a single swing. He was not confident enough to dodge the next even with his Precise Instinct. The gap in strength between them was too far apart.

While they were messing around, neither of them noticed Higan frowning at the side. She glared coldly at Boss Huang. Then, she raised her hand and her fingers nimbly danced.

Right before Boss Huang’s rod struck Tang Ling’s backside, he suddenly squinted. The rod in his hand twirled all of a sudden and an extremely cold aura erupted around him, followed by an ice wall that sprang up from the ground and encased him whole.

Tang Ling shuddered when he saw Boss Huang raise an ice wall from the ground. In shock, he stopped running and asked, “Boss, are you okay? Are you for real?”

Boss Huang frowned, but before he could answer Tang Ling’s question, he punched the ice wall into smithereens. Unfortunately for him, flames burst out from his hand and engulfed him whole.

Higan squinted her eyes and raised her hand again.

At that moment, Boss Huang suddenly demanded, “Little Tang Tang, who is this cute little girl? Is she your friend?”

Little Tang Tang? Higan slowly lowered her hand.

Tang Ling was dumbfounded by what just happened. He scratched his head and asked, “Boss, were you showing off your talent just now?”

Boss Huang was rendered speechless, he glared at him. “Show off, your *ss!” He then turned to Higan and smiled in a profound manner, “Little girl, do you know my disciple?”

“He’s your disciple?” A tinge of shock flashed over Higan’s gaze as she apologized, “I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m a forgiving man, especially towards a pretty girl like you.” Boss Huang smiled brightly as if he was a kind father.

“What are you guys talking about?” Tang Ling did not know what happened. While he was smart, no matter how smart he was, he never would have expected Higan and Boss Huang to just engage in a fight, twice to be exact, and either time was extremely dangerous.

“It’s fine.” Boss Huang hugged Tang Ling single-handedly and grinned frivolously, “You little bastard, you are really something! It’s only been an hour outside and you brought home such a pretty girl?”

“I...it’s not like that, Boss...” Tang Ling would argue like a little rascal at other times, but at that moment, an unknown feeling made him stammer. His tongue was knotted and all he could utter was, “Boss, this is Higan.”

“Oh, Ms. Higan, you are the most beautiful girl that I’ve ever seen in my life. Your beauty is unrivaled. Do you want to have tea in Dvesha Moha?” Boss Huang passionately invited.

“Hey, Boss, keep your hands off her. You...” Tang Ling was not jealous, but he simply did not want Higan to fall for Boss Huang’s trickery. After all, he finally found out that Boss Huang was not a powerful figure in Darkness Port. He was just a well-known pervert!

“I’m not interested in little girls. I’m simply giving you a hand and being your eyes,” Boss Huang muttered gibberish righteously as if he already acknowledged Tang Ling and Higan’s relationship.

Tang Ling wanted to argue, but Higan already shook her head in rejection. “I’m going back. Thank you.” She was well-mannered but felt distant. However, when she looked at Tang Ling, her gaze turned soft and she showed an alluring smile. “I know where you live now. I’ll come to find you sometimes.”

Higan then nodded at Tang Ling before she left with jolly steps.

“Tsk tsk, this little girl is really into you.” Boss Huang might be muttering nonsense, but his eyes deeply squinted as some profound thoughts ran in his mind.

Tang Ling grumbled, “What do you mean ‘into me’?! We only knew each other just now! Can you stop it with your nonsense!?” He then looked at Boss Huang with a doubtful look. “She’s wearing a mask, but you can see her face?”

Boss Huang looked askance at him and answered irritatedly, “I made that mask. Of course, I have a way to see through it.”

“Really? Did you just trick me again? Spill! When I wear the mask on stage, can people see my face?!” Tang Ling grabbed him by the collar all of a sudden.

“Get your hands off me, you little bastard! I’m still not done with you. Who’s gonna stop eating and die, you say? Now, with Madam Qing rejecting my flower, if I don’t stop eating, how can I show my face in public?!” Boss Huang grabbed Tang Ling by the neck and shook him.

“Are you really talking about face? You are the notorious pervert of Darkness Port!”

“You little prick! If I’m a pervert and you’re my disciple, doesn’t that make you a little pervert?!”

“Who the hell is your disciple?! Did I ask for it!?”

“Who the hell taught you smithing?!”

...

The two of them continued their squabble and messing around on the street in front of Dvesha Moha.

Ding Dong and Ding Ling were sitting on the balcony, watching the two idiots fighting on the street with complicated gazes. The two of them looked like twin balls of tangyuan when they sat together.

“Ding Ling, I thought our boss was already shameless. Who knew, the disciple Little Tang Tang is also a shameless guy?”

“Yeah, they really are shameless. Not everyone can become the boss’s disciple. Sigh, our lives are bitter, Sister.” Ding Ling looked sad.

“Yeah, our lives are bitter.” Ding Dong also shared the same expression. She suddenly burped and passed the snack to Ding Ling. “Here, eat more. Eat and forget about the sad things.”

“Sure.”

******

Gasp!

Han Xing gasped in pain when the cotton ball dipped in liquid antiseptic was rubbed on his wound.

Despite the injuries, he still smiled at the pretty girl in front of him. The girl was in charge of taking care of the participants’ injuries after the match.

He said, “Hey, little sis, how did I look in the ring just now? Am I cool enough for you? I’ve got a big bonus from the match. Why don’t we go out for a meal?”

The pretty girl smiled and pressed the cotton ball to Han Xing’s wound, causing him to scream in pain.

She then swiftly kept the gauze and antiseptics after she was done Disdainfully, she smirked at Han Xin and said, “Who are you calling ‘little sis’? I’m not interested in little boys who don’t even have hair down there.” With that, she carried the tray of medical supplies away and slammed the door when she headed out.

“Feisty, I like it!” Han Xing saw the girl off and exclaimed. He then pulled his pants and looked down, muttering to himself, “Oh, I have a lot of hair down there, and I’m sure it will frighten you!”

“Frighten who?”

A fat guy suddenly came into Han Xing’s room.

Han Xing awkwardly cleared his throat and forced a smile. “N-no one.”

“I’m here to talk to you about serious business. The match you had today caught my attention since your opponent was also a strong one.” The fat guy then glanced at Han Xin and added, “So, I’ve decided to invest in you to raise you to become better.”

“Boss, what do you mean? Why would you want to raise me all of a sudden?” Han Xing blinked several times in confusion. He had no idea why the fat guy was so enthusiastic about investing in him all of a sudden.

Speaking of the match today, Han Xing knew better than anyone else who his opponent was. If he remembered correctly, his opponent should be a core disciple of the Feng family from Watcher Safety City. His opponent was ranked No. 113 on the Torrential Teen Ranking.

Everyone participated in the arena using an alias, but it did not stop Han Xing from recognizing his opponent.

Han Xing was from Holy Tree City which was a renowned city of scientists. The city’s status was beyond its peers and its economical power was one of the greatest in the world. Therefore, Holy Tree City was the place where all sorts of information converged.

The Torrential Teen Ranking was a ranking that the scientists in Holy Tree City made using all kinds of data and achievements of the teenagers around the world during their free time. The list was refreshed once every three months and was probably the most influential list in the world.

The list was not revealed to the public under normal circumstances. Only the high-ranking personnel of major factions had access to it at fixed intervals.

However, Han Xing was not some random John Doe. His father held quite a status in the Holy Tree City and would frequently check the list, so Han Xing had memorized all the names of on the ranking. Therefore, he was able to recognize his opponent at first glance. He even recognized several other teenagers in the audience whose names were on the list.

It seemed like the opportunity in Darkness Port attracted a lot of genius teenagers, yet the fat boss had come at such a fitting timing and claimed that he wanted to raise Han Xing? It was something worth ruminating over.

All Han Xing wanted to do was earn some money. He never planned to really settle down in Darkness Port, so getting involved with the boss of the local gang sounded like trouble.

With that in mind, he wanted to reject the boss, but the latter revealed a vial of serum and a pouch of money. “You must be surprised about me wanting to invest in you all of a sudden, but I have my own internal intel. Based on what I know, I’ve decided to select several young geniuses to join me, and you are one of them.

“If you agree to come with me, this is a cell regeneration serum that can heal your injuries and return you to your prime instantly. It’s also a great help for your hidden wounds. Here are 50 Black Sea coins. If you say yes, they’re yours.”
