A robust man wearing a gray coat, with his upper body bare and his abdomen wrapped in thick gauze, walked in.
Ye Zhongming cast a sideways glance and caught a whiff of the two-star evolver’s aura.
“Boss!”
“Boss!”
“Brother Bao!”
People around greeted the sturdy man, who looked nearly fifty but appeared to be in his forties.
The man referred to as Brother Bao stopped three meters away from Ye Zhongming and slightly spread his hands, “This friend of mine, my son was ignorant and offended you. I apologize on his behalf and am willing to offer compensation.”
The others around were taken aback upon hearing the boss speak like this.
The Burning Fury, one of the top ten powers in Ying City, was not to be trifled with. It wasn’t that people here walked sideways when they went out, but few dared provoke them. Boss Brother Bao was especially famous in Ying City; even Bai Feng, the boss of the Renxing Battle Team, the top figure in Ying City, treated Brother Bao with respect.
But who would have thought that now he would lower himself to such a degree in front of a kid who probably hadn’t even graduated from college? Not only was he not pursuing the matter of murder, but he was also offering compensation. What was going on?
Even if he had a hold on the Second Young Master now, did he dare to take action? Was he not afraid that the Burning Fury would tear him apart?
Ye Zhongming felt a stir in his heart, loosening his grip slightly, allowing the Second Young Master to breathe. However, his face remained flushed, bloodshot eyes filled with fear, not daring to struggle violently for fear of angering the one who held his life in hand.
Seeing Ye Zhongming act this way, Brother Bao's eyes lit up: “How about this, let’s go to my room to talk. I have a bottle of foreign wine I found a few days ago; we can chat while we drink?”
As he spoke, he tilted his head and instructed his subordinates, “Why aren’t you cleaning this place up? Then notify the kitchen to prepare some good dishes; I want to drink a few cups with this brother today!”
Though his subordinates were bewildered and confused, orders from the boss were absolute, and someone immediately dashed to the kitchen.
Brother Bao gestured and then walked up to Ye Zhongming, raising his hand to slap the Second Young Master, shouting angrily, “You blind fool, get out of my way!”
“Brother, please let him go. You’re a three-star evolver; it’s easy for you to flatten this place. Don’t stoop to the level of my useless son. I apologize on his behalf, and also…”
Brother Bao glanced at Uncle Jia and Young Master Yun behind him, “These two’s Evolution Potions will count as mine, as compensation for today’s offense. If you’re not satisfied, we can negotiate further.”
Three-star?
The people around were even more bewildered. This seemingly somewhat weak young man was actually a three-star evolver?! Upon hearing the term ‘three-star evolver’, the recently released Second Young Master immediately quieted down, lowering his head and standing behind his father.
The most surprised were the small team that had been with Ye Zhongming yesterday and Uncle Jia, especially Team Leader Lin, who thought about how he had spoken to a three-star evolver so casually yesterday and felt lucky to still be alive, but was now drenched in cold sweat.
Young Master Yun smiled at his incredulous father and uncle, “That’s my boss.”

Unlike the shabby warehouse that looked hastily built before, the place Brother Bao lived in was much better. A round table was surrounded by several people. Brother Bao and Ye Zhongming sat in the main positions, with Young Master Yun, his father, and uncle on Ye Zhongming’s side, while Brother Bao’s side had his son, the Second Young Master, and another person who was introduced as Jiang Tai, the captain of another elite team.
The Second Young Master first apologized to Ye Zhongming, who waved his hand to indicate it was in the past, which relieved Brother Bao. He poured a glass of wine for Ye Zhongming and then began to chat.
