nCheng Juan leaned on the chair lazily.

nQin Ran was truly not interested in many things.

nCheng Juan was observant. In the past, she was interested in the violin, but in the recent year, she seemed to have lost interest in it as well. He figured that the only thing that could gain her interest now was…

nA fight.

n

nHe obviously did not advocate this.

nHowever, she would definitely be interested in a competition between the world’s top hackers.

nHe could even take her to meet the Hacker Alliance’s Chairman.

nCheng Juan explained the situation to her. Qin Ran quickly replied—

nNot interested.

n

nOn the other side, Qin Ran had already alighted from the plane.

nFour vans from the Mas family were waiting for their arrival.

nThere was a triangular flag on the left side of the van, and she casually took a look at it.

nQin Ran walked towards the last van and sat on the last row of seats.

nShe continued to use her phone.

nCheng Juan sent her a question mark.

nHe was surprised that he had miscalculated her interest. You’re not even interested in this? What else are you interested in?

n

nIt wasn’t as cold as the first few days of February. Qin Ran was wearing a black down jacket and even buttoned the hood on it.

nShe looked at Cheng Juan’s message and replied to him. She then fished out her earpiece and put it on.

nCheng Mu, carrying the suitcases, entered the van after her. The van had two-seater and four-seater seats.

nHe scanned the van and then took a seat beside Qin Ran.

nCarlo answered a call and said a few words to Xu Yaoguang and Second Uncle Xu.

nHe then left hurriedly.

nXu Yaoguang, Second Uncle Xu, and Carlo were also on the last van.

nThere was an empty seat beside Carlo.

nCheng Mu also sat beside Qin Ran on the plane, so Xu Yaoguang did not have the opportunity to speak to her.

n

nSecond Uncle Xu originally wanted to talk to Xu Yaoguang. Seeing him pondering about whether to sit beside Cheng Mu, he did not speak further.

nThe atmosphere in the car was solemn.

n

n“Young Master Xu, how long will the journey take?” Cheng Mu had stayed there for more than 6 months and was familiar with the roads. He could tell that this wasn’t the road to Continent M’s boundary.

nXu Yaoguang looked up at the sky. “We will be going through the mountains and will reach by tomorrow morning.”

n

n“Will there be a rest stop along the way?” Cheng Mu asked while nodding. “We can toast some bread.”

nThe Xu family members sitting in the car frowned. Couldn’t he tell the urgency of the matter? How could he still want to stop to toast bread?

n

nBut because he was Cheng Mu, someone from the Cheng family, they didn’t dare to talk back and could only swallow their annoyance.

n

nXu Yaoguang shook his head and paused before saying, “No, we cannot stop.”

n“Okay.” Cheng Mu expressed his regret.

n…

nFour hours later, the car stopped at an intersection.

nAfter waiting for 3 minutes, about 10 cars drove over.

nA tall man with brown hair alighted from the last car and sat directly beside Carlo.

nBoth parties did not speak and went their separate ways.

nThe car continued on its journey.

nTwo hours later, the car stopped at a stronghold.

nCarlo alighted the car first and opened the door for the man with brown hair.

nThe sky was bright.

nUnder the morning light, they could see that the man was almost two meters tall, wearing a T-shirt, and was very muscular.

n“Mr. Bo Te.” Carlo stood beside the car and greeted respectfully.

nThe man with brown hair nodded slightly.

nBut he didn’t know that it shocked the rest of the Xu family members.

nAlthough the Xu family had helped to open the economic lifeline of the Mas family, they did not have the same status.

nMr. Carlo, the leader of the Arena, had the highest position of those who interacted with them.

nWhy did Carlo greet the man with brown hair so respectfully?

nBo Te?

nWho was he?

n“Young Master Xu?” Second Uncle Xu’s heart jumped, and he looked to Xu Yaoguang for an answer.

nAlthough Xu Yaoguang and Elder Xu had visited Continent M previously, this was the first visit of many Xu family members.

nXu Yaoguang pondered for a long while, and there was a trace of seriousness in his cold eyes. He shook his head and said, “Grandfather and I have not seen him before.”

nQin Ran and the others slowly alighted the car.

nShe took out her earpiece and pulled down her hood. February wasn’t as cold as December. However, Qin Ran always wore long sleeves even in summer.

nShe put her hands in her pocket and looked towards Bo Te.

nFinishing the conversation with Bo Te, Carlo turned to Xu Yaoguang and the others. He took two steps towards them with his hands behind his back.

nHe wasn’t as respectful when speaking to them. “Your residential area is the third district. The first district is Mr. Bo Te’s training site. Do not enter, else you will bear the consequences.”

nCheng Mu stood beside Qin Ran with the suitcases.

nHe looked at Bo Te and could sense a dangerous aura.

n“Miss Qin, do you know him?” Cheng Mu turned to Qin Ran and asked softly.

nSecond Uncle Xu laughed as he saw his expression.

nNot caring, he took his equipment and walked towards the third district.

nThe Xu family members did not think that Qin Ran would know who Mr. Bo Te was.

nQin Ran lowered her head and pulled up her hood. “He’s the Mas family’s Underground Champion. The Mas family owns the world’s largest Underground Arena. Every Underground Champion has an extraordinary ability. You can instantaneously have high status as long as you win in the Arena.”

nHer voice was soft, but they could understand her.

nAlthough Carlo’s Mandarin was subpar, he understood what she said.

nHearing Qin Ran’s explanation, he said, “Young Lady, you must be experienced since you know who Mr. Bo Te is.”

nHe was surprised. Bo Te was famous in the Underground Arena, and many people knew him. He didn’t pursue this further but kept a mental note of Qin Ran.

nEvery Underground Champion had a high status. Other than the Mas family, other forces would spend money to fight for it.

nEven though the Underground Arena had been operating for many years, there were only four Underground Champions.
