Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 742: Chapter 741: Comrade’s Family Banquet

Su Yang had intended to leave after resolving the Qi Family’s matter, but meeting his old comrades here required him to stay for two more days.

Although Hu Yong and the others followed Su Yang to the island and witnessed him fighting the Qi Family members, in fact, they couldn’t hold on for long. As soon as the fight between Su Yang and Qi Jian’an started, many of them couldn’t withstand the pressure and fainted. Therefore, they also missed seeing the even more incredible methods Su Yang used later.

Even so, these people were extremely shocked and admiring of Su Yang.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Su Yang was able to fight the Qi Family on Lake Heart Island and still leave unscathed was something unimaginable to everyone.

How many people who caused trouble on Lake Heart Island could leave the island intact?

Hu Yong and the others all gathered around Su Yang, and Zhu Guifen was also full of gratitude.

Because of Su Yang’s intervention, Qi Linfeng, the young master of the Qi Family who insulted her daughter, had been killed by Su Yang during the subsequent battle—she had indeed avenged a great enmity.

As for the people from the Zhou Family and the Ho Family, their issues were not resolved at all. The Qi Family did not even give them an explanation and directly chased them off the island.

These people were filled with resentment in their hearts, yet they were helpless. The Qi Family was truly enraged by Su Yang, and if they made any more fuss, the Qi Family would surely kill them all!

Moreover, what they couldn’t accept was the incredible strength that Su Yang displayed. Although they did not know the extent of the great battle that followed, the fact that several members of the Qi Family died and Su Yang was still able to leave Lake Heart Island safely made them realize Su Yang’s prowess.

These people felt very awkward in their hearts. If they had known sooner about Su Yang’s incredible strength, perhaps their own grievances could have been avenged when they asked for Su Yang’s help earlier.

Now, Su Yang’s formidable power was undeniable, earning him the Qi Family’s submission, yet they had mocked Su Yang earlier and no longer had any standing to even talk to him.

Watching Hu Yong and the others chatting warmly around Su Yang, these people were also full of envy.

After Su Yang defeated the Qi Family, anyone in the Southern Six Provinces who was on good terms with Su Yang or any associated power was bound to rise. And they, on the other hand, had missed this perfect opportunity—how could they not regret it!

”Su Yang, when did you develop such martial arts skills?” Hu Yong excitedly asked, standing beside his old comrade, basking in pride.

”A long time ago,” Su Yang smiled and said, ”I developed them while I was in the army!”

”Really?” The people around Hu Yong exclaimed in surprise; most of them were ex-soldiers. But compared to Su Yang’s abilities, they were worlds apart.

”Of course, I have some methods of cultivation as well,” Su Yang said with a faint smile.

”Master Su, do you think I’m suitable for cultivation?” a man hurriedly asked.

”At your age, it’s already too late,” Su Yang said with a smile.

”Ah!” Everyone sighed.

Amidst laughter and conversation, the group entered Wanhu City. After the security company people expressed their endless thanks to Su Yang, they left reluctantly.

Only Hu Yong was left, and he excitedly rushed home with Su Yang in tow.

”Su Yang, you don’t get to come by often, so you must visit my house today and try your sister-in-law’s cooking,” Hu Yong said with a smile, ”Her cooking is really delicious.”

Su Yang smiled faintly and nodded, recalling his first day in the military when Hu Yong had taken him to the cafeteria to eat. That time, Su Yang had gone without food for two meals on the train and had gobbled up the food voraciously. Hu Yong even gave him the rice from his own bowl. Su Yang had always remembered that kindness!

Three years later, meeting again in Wanhu City, it was still Hu Yong who invited him to a meal. Furthermore, during his previous trip to the Qi Family of Wanhu, Hu Yong had taken extra care of Su Yang.

Although Hu Yong’s abilities might not have been sufficient, that kind-heartedness was still incredibly touching.

Hu Yong lived in an old residential area near the West Suburb of Wanhu City, which was quite dilapidated, clearly lacking any trace of the city’s prosperity.

The old residential buildings, closely packed together, permitted little light. Everywhere in the alleyways, there was visible garbage. In some places, manhole covers were missing, and the stench that rose from the sewers was enough to make one feel sick.

However, Hu Yong walked joyfully down this road, his heart uplifted at meeting an old comrade. At the entrance to the village, he had bought a lot of groceries, insisting that Su Yang not pay for them.

Hu Yong’s reasoning was simple: you’re my comrade-in-arms, younger than me, and you’ve come to my home, so naturally, I should take care of you. As for when I visit you in the future, you can spend as much money as you want, but here at my place, I must be the one to pay.

Su Yang followed beside Hu Yong, watching him greet the neighbors around him with joy and couldn’t help but smile gently. Compared to Captain Old Lin, Hu Yong seemed to be living a very happy life.

Although his family was poor, even unable to leave this impoverished area, happiness in life wasn’t measured by money.

Upon arriving at the base of the apartment building, Hu Yong suddenly stopped, wearing an awkward smile, ”Um, Su Yang, when we go upstairs... please don’t mention that I’ve been doing work for a security company. Your sister-in-law thinks it’s not safe, so... I’ve told her I’ve been driving for someone, working as a driver...”

”Your sister-in-law is just considering your safety,” Su Yang said with a faint smile and a nod, ”That’s quite alright.”

”My wife, she definitely cares about me. But as a man, I can’t let her live in constant worry and fear, right?” Hu Yong chuckled with a grin.

”Got it!” Su Yang smiled and nodded.

Hu Yong, bubbling with excitement, walked out in front, but as he was about to enter the door, he stopped again, whispering with an embarrassed tone, ”Oh right, Su Yang, your sister-in-law’s sister has been over these past few days. She might not have the nicest way of speaking, but she’s not bad at heart, so please don’t take offense at anything she says, okay?”

Su Yang nodded slowly. Actually, when Hu Yong talked about this woman, his expression dimmed, something Su Yang noticed clearly. It was evident that his aunt might not be as simple as he described.

Then, Hu Yong joyously opened the door, and upon entering, he immediately called out excitedly, ”Wife, come out, my comrade is here!”

A woman wearing an apron walked out of the kitchen. She had a fairly pretty face and embodied the very homemaking type.

Seeing Su Yang, she was momentarily surprised, clearly not having expected her husband’s comrade to be so young. However, she didn’t ask any questions and warmly said, ”Oh, hello, hello. Old Hu didn’t even tell me beforehand, I haven’t prepared any ingredients. Please have a seat, both of you. I’ll go out and buy some groceries.”

Su Yang nodded with a smile. The woman was indeed very amiable, and it was no wonder Hu Yong was living such a happy life with a wife like her.
