In the next moment, the two stepped forward simultaneously again, their speeds indistinguishable, becoming two twisted afterimages, attacking each other with thunderous force.

The sound of the fight’s collision was incessant, and the sudden chaos elicited exclamations from the surrounding guests, who hastily backed away.

Just as the two were locked in a fierce struggle, an afterimage, several times faster than theirs, suddenly intervened in the middle.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

With two dull thuds, their attacks were simultaneously halted.

The tall figure of Zhou Hanyan stood in the center, clutching their wrists with both hands like iron clamps, rendering them motionless, his gentlemanly suit still immaculate.

Seeing the situation under control, others quickly came up to intervene.

Audiana held back Su Mo and soothed him, “Calm down, this is not the place for a conflict.”

Jin Taiyu also grabbed Ou Chenyu’s shoulder, scolding in a low voice, “What are you doing? Fighting here?!”

Zhou Hanyan released the two, his immense strength making them stagger, nearly losing their balance.

Zhou Hanyan: “Get out.”

Ou Chenyu cracked his neck and provocatively gave Su Mo the middle finger, “Let’s go, do it outside.”

Zhou Hanyan looked at him, “I want you to leave.”

Ou Chenyu was stunned, speaking with defiance, “He started it first, why am I the one being told to leave?”

Zhou Hanyan said coldly, “Just a little elbow nudge, thinking your petty actions are well hidden, not noticed by anyone, aren’t you?”

The muscles in Ou Chenyu’s face twitched, unable to respond.

Zhou Hanyan pointed to the venue’s door, “Get out, I don’t welcome those who dare to act but don’t dare to admit it.”

Ou Chenyu pressed his lips tightly, his angry eyes filled with resentment, feeling a flush of heat all over his body, his face burning.

In front of the King of Mercenaries, he dared not act up, clenching his fists with gritted teeth and leaving.

As he passed by Su Mo, he whispered a harsh threat, “Just you wait.”

After Ou Chenyu left, the venue gradually returned to its original atmosphere, everyone continued to chat and laugh, pretending the recent incident hadn’t happened.

Su Mo was just about to express his gratitude, but Zhou Hanyan interrupted him directly, “Protecting your companions is a good thing, but you should also understand the occasion, rookie.”

He threw out this sentence of indirect criticism and left directly, ignoring Su Mo further.

At this moment, Dongdong poked his head out from the stairway, orange juice in one hand and pizza in the other, “What’s going on upstairs, why is it going ‘dong dong dong’?”

Su Mo waved his hand, “It’s nothing, just eat your food.”

Dongdong blinked, not thinking much, and went back to continue his meal.

KK stood beside Su Mo, head bowed, looking troubled, “Brother, did I cause trouble for you…”

Su Mo gently patted his back, showing a gentle smile, “What are you thinking? If I don’t stand up for you in such situations, do I still deserve to be called your brother? You go and find Dongdong to play, I’ll carry some medicine to Lady Countess.”

Although Su Mo didn’t mind at all, KK still felt a wave of disappointment.

He always felt that his existence had become increasingly insignificant.

Back when he first followed Su Mo, he still had some thieving skills, able to help through deceit and theft.

But lately, he seemed to have become a burden.

He wasn’t as strong as Dongdong in a fight, nor did he have Future’s robust technical skills.

He was supposed to work in logistics, but learned the complex professional knowledge slowly, completely unable to match the new clerks.

Every day at Edge, there’s food and drink, it’s enjoyable, but the more he indulged, the more uneasy he felt, like floating on a cloud, weightless, always fearing he’d fall.

And today he got into this lousy mess, causing his brother to face Zhou Hanyan’s mood.

He wanted to talk to Su Mo, but didn’t know how to bring it up.

He watched Su Mo’s departing figure and sighed lightly.
