After leaving the hospital, Xu Jiaming took Chen Chongming to a hotel, leaving Chen Chongshan and Yuan Yuan alone. These two lovers, who had been separated for a long time, naturally needed some free time to spend together.
They only stayed in Tanzhou for one night. The next morning, Chen Chongshan and his group drove to Wuhan. The three of them and their dog, along with a Toyota Prado, still had plenty of space. Since they were only going to fight and had no other activities, there was no need to bring any other dogs.
Chen Chongming also stayed in Tanzhou. Xu Jiaming arranged accommodation and people to take care of him, and Yuan Yuan would stay with him.
With one day left before the agreed time, arriving in Wuhan a day early would give Ah Huang more time to adjust, so they checked into a hotel near the manor.
Although the hotel space was not large, Ah Huang did not show any discomfort because Chen Chongshan was with him. Moreover, because the battle was imminent, Chen Chongshan and his group focused their attention on Ah Huang. They ate beef for dinner, and after dinner, they took Ah Huang for a walk in the garden behind the hotel for more than an hour to ensure that Ah Huang got enough exercise.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Chen Chongshan got up early. Although he didn't show it, he was under tremendous pressure. Even though Xu Jiaming's analysis was very logical and seemed quite reasonable, Chen Chongshan had witnessed the Demon King's battle firsthand. That guy killed four fierce and brutal wolves in the blink of an eye, just like a martial arts master in a wuxia novel, who could draw his sword and the enemy would be dead.
The scene was so shocking and left such a deep impression that Chen Chongshan found it hard to believe for a long time that the dog could win. He believed in Ah Huang, but the battle was too dangerous, and he couldn't help but feel psychological pressure.
Xu Jiaming and Wen Fei also got up and went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. After feeding Ah Huang a few pieces of raw beef, they took Ah Huang for a walk in the hotel garden. Around nine o'clock, the three of them took Ah Huang toward the ecological farm. The agreed time was ten o'clock in the morning, so there was still enough time. Walking around would allow Ah Huang to stretch his muscles and bones.
The hotel was not far from the manor. About ten minutes later, the three people and the dog arrived at the manor's gate. Unexpectedly, Liao Bin and his group, as well as the manor's apparent owner, were waiting there.
"What's going on with this show of force?"
Xu Jiaming watched the scene from afar and muttered a few words, while the people on the other side, upon seeing these individuals, had already come to greet them.
"Haha, Young Master Xu, Young Master Wen, Mr. Chen, you've arrived just in time."
Liao Bin walked at the front, greeting everyone with a smile.
Upon hearing Liao Bin's words, Xu Jiaming immediately laughed. These guys must have already figured out all the details about them. Wen Fei also smiled helplessly and nodded in understanding to Liao Bin.
Liao Bin's attitude was no longer as indifferent as before. He was shocked after learning Xu Jiaming's true identity from several friends in Tanzhou.
Although the Xu family's greatest influence is still in Chu Nan Province, the status and position of Xu Jiaming's grandfather far surpasses that of Liao Bin's family. Even though they are not in the same province, the Xu family's power is not something that Liao Bin's backers can challenge.
Liao Bin felt both apprehensive and somewhat relieved. He hadn't done anything too extreme that day, and he believed that if he made a slight move this time, the rift between them could be cleared up.
Moreover, Liao Bin originally had something to do with Xu Jiaming's side, and the previous challenge was just out of arrogance.
"Hello, Mr. Liao."
Faced with Liao Bin's enthusiasm, Xu Jiaming simply responded with a faint "yes".
Liao Bin quickly waved his hand with a smile: "Young Master Xu, please don't call me that. Just call me Liao Bin or A-Bin."
"Come in, come in, please come inside."
After exchanging pleasantries, Liao Bin led everyone inside.
Chen Chongshan followed quietly behind the group. Liao Bin's change in attitude made him feel a little more relaxed. Now that they knew Xu Jiaming's identity, the battle shouldn't be too brutal.
Although Ah Huang had fought bloody battles and was not afraid of any challenge, Chen Chongshan was still worried.
The group walked all the way to the square inside the manor, but the area was still empty. There was no dogfighting arena prepared, and they didn't see any sign of the Demon King.
"Young Master Liao, what's going on here?"
Looking around, Xu Jiaming glanced at his watch and said calmly, "It's almost time. Where's your Demon King?"
Wenfei and Chen Chongshan looked around with puzzled expressions, while Ah Huang seemed a little excited. It remembered this place; the last time it was here, on those big mountains in front, it killed a black bear, fought a wolf pack, and was eventually overthrown by the wolf pack.
Ah Huang was looking forward to going up the mountain again. It wanted to find another wolf pack to fight. Its body had now recovered to an excellent state. It was not satisfied with its previous defeat and wanted to fight again. It wanted to prove its strength and win back its dignity.
Faced with Xu Jiaming's question, Liao Bin smiled awkwardly and stepped forward, saying, "Young Master Xu, I'm really sorry about last time. We didn't understand your identity, so please forgive our slight."
Xu Jiaming glanced at Liao Bin a few times and said calmly, "Young Master Liao, you're overthinking it. Apart from this challenge, I've almost forgotten about everything that happened last time. Look, the time's up. Why don't you bring out your Demon King to fight our Ah Huang?"
"Haha, Young Master Xu is so straightforward."
Liao Bin laughed, then his expression changed, and he said, "However, Young Master Xu, this duel may not be able to take place."
"It can't be done? Why?"
Xu Jiaming was stunned for a moment, then looked at Liao Bin and asked in confusion. Wen Fei and Chen Chongshan also looked over, wondering what Liao Bin was up to this time.
"The Demon King is injured and is recuperating."
Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the group, the impatient Cao Yang, who was standing to the side, spoke up.
"Are you injured?"
Xu Jiaming paused, and Wen Fei and Chen Chongshan also seemed somewhat shocked. Although they were still somewhat unconvinced on the surface, they admired the Demon King's strength. Being able to kill a pack of wolves so easily meant that they were wild beasts from the mountains, and it would be difficult for them to hurt it again.
"Yes, I'm injured, and it's quite serious. I'm not here right now; I'm recuperating 500 kilometers away," Liao Bin replied with a somber expression.
"Young Master Liao, what's going on?"
Wen Fei asked with great confusion, "Did you go to fight? With the Demon King's strength, how could he have been seriously injured?"
