Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 371
Chapter 371: Horn Doesn’t Need to Be Blown By Itself
Seeing Xu Cheng seemingly trying to pick a fight with those people, Bagh directly came over and pulled Xu Cheng away. “What are you doing? Don’t get involved in this.”
He pulled Xu Cheng to the side and said, “I already discussed with the others, it’s okay if we quit. These guys are all descendents of well-known military families, as long as Ye Xiu and the others treat us like true bros, we are happy enough. Those guys are too traditional and it’s impossible to change their ways of thinking right away. Don’t force it, it’s fine, let’s go, let’s grab a drink together.”
Ye Xiu pulled back Bagh and said, “If you guys quit, then even if I keep on running this club, what would be the point? I let you guys in because of your capabilities, and if we kick you guys out, then this big military family will begin being alienated by class. Those bros with capabilities but no background can at least use this club as a springboard to find a decent job after retirement. What are they going to do now if they don’t have this club? Have you considered what will happen to the others?”
Bagh hesitated for a moment, he was troubled too.
Xu Cheng directly looked at those guys and said, “The reason for the existence of the club is to be the special forces soldiers’ family, based on their capabilities regardless of background. Since it’s for that purpose, then putting background aside, how about let’s talk about power? You guys are not qualified to look down on their background, because all you can boast about is being lucky when you were born.”
The six guys on the other side sneered. “You are wrong, we don’t really discriminate against their background, but rather their power that you guys are so proud of. We just think they are not powerful enough to join the club, because since we are joining, we should be using our standards for assessment, right?”
Xu Cheng curiously asked, “So you mean you guys are really strong?”
Those guys laughed. “You can go and ask Ye Xiu.”
Ye Xiu awkwardly said, “They are all the top tier batch of their crowd.”
Xu Cheng couldn’t help but smile. “Then why not use my standards? Because by my standards, the six of you aren’t even qualified to carry my bags. Can I put it this way?”
Those six guys’ faces slightly changed. “Bro, you should watch your mouth.”
“I already watched it enough. If we weren’t all brothers from the military, I would’ve already greeted your whole family, you know that? We are all vulgar, so let’s not pretend and say beautiful words. Originally, I didn’t want to get involved, but I really despise the way you guys do things, forcing your way onto others.”
“Why is it your business whether we are forcing our way or not? We are qualified to do it, and since we are combining our clubs, the two sides went a few rounds already. Ye Xiu lost earlier, and Bagh and Wang An also lost. So today, we are here to talk about the merger, and Ye Xiu’s saying you guys didn’t lose yet until you fight, and since you are here, then let’s cut to the chase. If you lose, this club will be closed down and the qualified members that can meet our skill and background requirement can come over. Otherwise, they are gone. After all, we want to make something big out of this, and if you don’t have a background, you can still stay and enjoy the club perks and benefits as long as you prove yourself. However, the requirements will go up. In the past, Ye Xiu allowed only people of just C+ level to join the normal club and above B to join Top. However, our club’s average is A or even A+, so regarding those C class guys that also have no background, sorry, but they will have to leave the club. When they reach B, they can join the normal club, and when they reach A, they can return to Top.”
“Are you done talking?” Xu Cheng asked.
Those guys nodded.
Xu Cheng said in disdain, “I disagree. I don’t think the club needs this kind of rules. It’s a big family here, and as long as someone serves in the military, they can come here to look for help. In the past, when Ye Xiu invited me, he told me that there wasn’t any discrimination, nor any requirement in background or capabilities. As long as they were a brother of the military, they can join the club, and the only difference is that there’s a regular one and a top tier one. You guys can come to the Top club when you join, but you don’t have to put your hands on the regular one.”
“Who are you to disagree?”
Xu Cheng said domineeringly, “If you want to reform, you have to go through me first.”
Those six sneered. “Just how much do you want to get beaten up? So what you are saying is, if you lose, the club will be under our management?”
Xu Cheng: “Yes.”
The six of them looked over at Ye Xiu. “You agree with him?”
Wang An and Ye Xiu nodded. “His words are our words. If you guys win, do whatever you want. But if you lose, disband your club. Whether you want to join ours after is up to you, but we do agree that there should be only one club for the military members. What do you think? You guys have your conditions, and we have ours too. Dare to gamble?”
Those six guys were delighted. “Yeah, we were just afraid that you would back out. Why would we not dare? You guys have a ring here, right? Let’s just let our fists do the talking.”
Then, the six of them immediately turned around and went to where the ring was.
Ye Xiu and the others also followed Xu Cheng and went after them.
Among the six of them, the guy with the buzz cut that had been playing with his phone the whole time immediately stomped on the ground and did a front flip into the ring. Then, he gestured towards Xu Cheng with a finger and said, “Come, let me show you why we are here to take over your club today.”
Xu Cheng looked at him on the stage and said, “Just you alone?”
That guy raised his brows and said, “Do I even need two people to deal with you?”
Xu Cheng looked at the six of them and asked, “Who’s the strongest among you guys? He should go first, just in case you guys want to go back on your words if you lose later.”
The guy with a buzz cut said, “Quit talking and just come up already.”
After Xu Cheng walked up, the guy with the buzz cut looked at him and said, “Some time ago, I heard that there was a guy that became the champion of the competition and was known as the strongest in history. I didn’t pay much attention to it, but then later, there were so many people blowing your horn and boasting about how powerful you were that many of our club’s members jumped ship and went over to your club. This is malicious competition, do you know? I despise people like you that boast to attract our members, and I’ve already had enough of Ye opening his own club. We always wanted him to disband his club so that he could join us, but he doesn’t listen, and he said that the potential here is a lot bigger. We obviously weren’t happy to hear that, and if the two clubs can’t merge, then only one can stay. This year, the whole military was talking about how powerful you are, that’s fine. After I defeat you, I will just take all the glory, and show them the price one has to pay for boasting this much.”
Xu Cheng faintly smiled. “Then why are you still talking? Do something already.”
The buzz cut furiously rushed over, but before anyone could see clearly what Xu Cheng actually did, they just heard a low groan from the buzz cut, and then saw the guy flying out of the ring and landing heavily off the stage.
Xu Cheng faintly said, “The ones that are truly powerful don’t need to blow his own horn, because other people will blow it for him.”
