Depth can be feigned, but this chilling aura, that was innate. However, the steady calm emanating from the middle-aged man, Lin Bai, who walked in with measured steps and a slight smile, was forged from years spent maneuvering the underworld. One couldn't deny that every person immersed in the triad life carried a unique scent about them.

One might dismiss this as nonsense, but to Yang Yi’s eyes, it was far from it. His icy gaze fixed on Lin Bai for a moment, tinged with immense amusement. “If you want to know who I am, shouldn't you tell me who you are first? It would be more polite, after all!”

“Heh heh, young brother, I am Lin Bai, one of the four hall masters of the Hungry Wolf Gang, known as Master Bai!” Lin Bai didn't seem bothered by Yang Yi’s cold stare, settling naturally beside Chen Hu as he addressed him.

“Oh, I didn't expect to run into two of the Hungry Wolf Gang's four hall masters here today. Haha, interesting, very interesting!” Yang Yi laughed heartily.

“So, young brother, shouldn't you tell us who you are now?”

The moment Lin Bai finished speaking, not just Chen Hu, but even a woman hidden in a dark corner, perked up her ears, seemingly desperate to know Yang Yi’s true identity.

“Heh heh, me?” Yang Yi chuckled, pausing for a beat, sweeping his gaze around before saying, “Who I am is unimportant. What’s important is whether you can give me an explanation.”

“Oh! Since young brother is unwilling to say, I won't press,” Lin Bai paused here, a smirk beginning to curl his lips, his expression taking on a decidedly interesting turn. “However… if you don’t speak, I fear you won’t be leaving here easily.”

Swish! Lin Bai’s declaration seemed to carry more weight than Chen Hu’s. The scene now felt like a closing gate before releasing the hounds. The main doors of the Space Bar sealed shut, leaving only Yang Yi and his companions as outsiders within the venue.

“Hmmph, interesting. I thought I was about to witness the arrival of someone of consequence, but it turns out you’re all the same worthless sort. Do you honestly think this little display can stop me?”

Arrogance and supreme self-confidence are not inherently bad traits; they require the necessary strength to back them up. While Lin Bai regarded Yang Yi highly, this was one matter; before understanding exactly who the opponent was, he wouldn't allow Yang Yi to simply walk away.

“Hmph, all of you, attack! Kill this punk!” Chen Hu snorted coldly, issuing the command.

Yang Yi’s mouth curled into a slight sneer. He uttered just a casual sentence: “I’m tired. You all can handle these shrimp.”

“Right, Boss! I love you to death!” Xu Ming exclaimed, jolting to attention and rubbing his hands together.

This fellow had clearly been suppressing himself for a long time; seeing Yang Yi knock those others away earlier had made his own hands itch for action.

Ye Xiaohou and Lin Pangzi offered faint smiles, but Feng Shi made no move to fight. Instead, she pulled over a stool nearby for Yang Yi to sit, saying, “Well, Yanran, I’m not much of a scholar, but this is a bar, so you must have some expensive red wine, right? I’ll trouble you to fetch some for me!”

“Yes, Young Master!” Feng Shi Yanran smiled, murmuring to herself, ‘Perhaps this is what they mean by the charm of a scoundrel.’

“Holy cow, Boss, that’s so unfair! How can you hoard all the good stuff for yourself?” Xu Ming shouted, then darted forward, throwing a punch that immediately engaged with Chen Hu’s henchmen.

“Exactly, Boss, save some for me! I’ll take it back to savor later, haha. It’s not like we’re paying for it; Master Hu seems very generous!” Ye Xiaohou stated shamelessly.

“Damn you all! After we finish the job, you think you won’t have anything to drink? This bar has plenty of things, and the wine is the most plentiful!” Yang Yi leaned back, crossing his legs, watching the beetroot-faced Chen Hu and the cold-eyed Lin Bai with amusement.

The two hall masters were utterly stunned. Who on earth was this youth? Damn it. He really didn’t look like such a rogue, taking advantage of the situation?

The black-clad brutes seemed no match for Xu Ming and the others, especially the monstrous Lin Pangzi. Every strike he delivered targeted the most vulnerable points on the human body: the ribs, the groin, the joints, the eyes, and so on. Chen Hu, watching from the side, was practically boiling with rage.

“Young Master, this bottle of Yantai Weilong is the most expensive one here,” Yanran said, handing him a glass of red wine after pouring it.

“Hmm? This is good stuff. Yanran, where did you find this?” Although Yang Yi’s face was fixed in a rogue’s grin, a flicker of shock stirred within him. What kind of red wine was Yantai Weilong? Yang Yi knew it—it was among the most expensive wines sold globally, once fetching a price as high as three hundred million. He never expected such a priceless bottle to be in Chen Hu’s bar.

“You… you…” Chen Hu’s face was crimson. That bottle was his treasure, the one he had never dared to drink. Now, it was being cheapened for someone else. At this moment, Chen Hu could barely cope, his speech becoming fragmented.

“Haha, Master Hu, this is truly fine wine!” Yang Yi imitated the connoisseur’s gestures—examining the bottle, smelling it, swirling it lightly twice—then took a small sip. He smiled as he looked at the nearly exploding Chen Hu. “Mmm, excellent wine. Worthy of the name Yantai Weilong!”

“Holy cow, Boss, what did you just say?” Ye Xiaohou suddenly exclaimed. He seemed to have some knowledge of fine wine. While Yantai Weilong was the most prestigious wine, less than ten thousand bottles were ever sold worldwide. Seeing it here, Ye Xiaohou certainly couldn't pass it up!

“Yantai Weilong, Fourth Brother!” Yang Yi deliberately spoke loudly, then glanced at Chen Hu.

Chen Hu could endure no more, roaring out in fury, “Give me back my wine!” With that shout, he lunged forward instantly, seemingly trying to snatch his wine back.

Seeing this, Yang Yi smiled faintly, set down the glass, and his figure blurred. Then came a punch—ruthless, fast, and accurate. In martial arts, speed is everything. Chen Hu’s eyes sharpened as he managed to clamp down on Yang Yi’s fist, immediately following up with a vicious kick. Yang Yi spun away, breaking free from Chen Hu’s grip, and then said with a smile, “Yanran, you need to guard that bottle carefully for me. If it breaks, I might have to punish you!”

Pfft! Feng Shi let out a soft laugh, her face flushing slightly at Yang Yi’s provocative gaze.

Lin Bai’s expression had also begun to change dramatically. To attack meant he wasn't sure of the outcome; to not attack meant losing face.

Thud! Chen Hu staggered back several large steps from the impact, and a trickle of blood slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth. Clearly, he was injured.

“Why are the rest of you dawdling? Hurry up! I’m about to leave!” Yang Yi glanced dismissively at Chen Hu. His overwhelming strength left Chen Hu no room for further maneuvering, forcing him to only glare at Yang Yi in impotent rage.

“Forget it, I’m done playing with you. You’re worse than professional soldiers—no, you can’t even hold a candle to them!” Xu Ming announced after finishing dispatching the black-clad thugs, who he had treated like playthings. He quickly locked onto his opponent’s joints and applied force. With a cry of agony, the man collapsed to the floor.

Seeing that Lin Pangzi and the others were done, and having achieved most of his goals, Yang Yi felt it was time to depart. “Let’s go!”

“Wait, who exactly are you people?” Lin Bai demanded, his eyes wide as he stared at Yang Yi’s retreating back.

“Hmph, you still want to ask who I am? Well, seeing as you look so pitiful, I’ll tell you. Go back and tell your gang leader that everything happened because Chen Dong stirred up trouble. It is because of him that your Hungry Wolf Gang incurred my wrath. You have three days. Within three days, have your leader bring his letter of surrender to find me at Yizhong. Tell him the Black God Gang will annihilate your organization within those three days!”

As soon as the words fell, Yang Yi and his group were gone. But Lin Bai’s face was deathly pale, his eyes wide with disbelief. Meanwhile, Chen Hu, seeing Yang Yi leave, immediately spat out a mouthful of bloody foam and collapsed heavily onto the ground.
