The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More Novel - Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Accidental

At this scene, Xu Huan frowned tightly. He turned back to look at the person who had come and said with a begging tone, “My brother is injured. If he doesn’t go into the city to treat him, he will probably die. Please make way.”

After saying this, seeing that the man was unmoved, Xu Huan said softly, “Then why don’t you help me pass the message to Master Ke? I can discuss it with him myself!”

The man sneered as if he had heard a huge joke. He looked at Xu Huan mockingly and said, “Why don’t you go out and find out who Master Ke is? Do you think you can meet such a big shot as and when you want?”

Seeing that a proper conversation was not going to work, Xu Huan’s expression turned cold. He pushed the door open and got out of the car. Even if he had to kidnap the person in front of him and force them to open the door for him, he had to enter Cloud City today!

Unexpectedly, just as Xu Huan stepped out of the car, a piece of white paper fell out of his pocket. He stood up in puzzlement and picked it up to take a look. It was the talisman that Mo Zhu had asked him to bring to buy medicine yesterday. He had left in a hurry this morning and in his panic, he had stuffed this piece of paper into his pocket and taken it away.

Before Xu Huan could stuff the paper back into his pocket, his hand was grabbed by the person in front of him. Xu Huan looked up at the person beside him in surprise. He did not expect the other party’s attitude to soften instantly when he saw the pattern on the paper. He immediately corrected himself and said, “I didn’t expect you to be Master Long’s friends. I must have been blind. Please enter.”

“Master Long?” Xu Huan lowered his head and muttered unconsciously. He didn’t remember that Huo Xuan and him interacted with any Master Long. Why did they suddenly mention that they are good friends with him?

However, since the other party had agreed to let him pass, Xu Huan naturally wouldn’t probe into these matters. He nodded politely and then got into the car nimbly, preparing to enter the city.

Unexpectedly, just as Xu Huan closed the car door, there was the sound of more than one car braking coming from behind.

After that, quite a number of luxurious cars stopped side by side behind the off-road vehicle. Xu Huan cursed in his heart. Oh no, looks like that group of people had caught up. Great, now there’s going to be another fierce battle before we even enter Cloud City!

He wasn’t worried about anything else, but Huo Xuan’s injuries couldn’t be delayed any longer.

Seeing that the other party had ill intentions, the expression of the man guarding the city changed. He waved his hand behind him, and then he instructed Xu Huan, “Leave this place to us. You enter the city first.”

Xu Huan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the man’s words. He did not expect that although this group of people looked extremely ferocious, they were actually very loyal. He thanked them and drove straight to the entrance.

Xu Huan would remember this favor today. If this Master Long or whatever needed help one day, the Xu family would definitely repay the favor without hesitation!

The entrance opened and the off-road vehicle entered Cloud City successfully. As Xu Huan drove, he stuck his head out the window to look at the situation at the entrance. Seeing that they had already entered the city, the group of pursuers seemed to be anxious. They were already unable to hold back and started fighting with the city guards. However, the other party had a lot of people and Xu Huan was a little worried that this group of people was outnumbered and wouldn’t be able to handle them.

Letting out a long sigh, Xu Huan slammed on the brakes and the off-road vehicle stopped. He turned back and said to Mo Jiu, “I’ll go take a look at the city gate and try to stall for time. Come over and drive Brother Huo to the hospital as soon as possible!”

After saying this, Xu Huan did not stay any longer. He opened the car door and took out a metal rod from the front passenger seat. He quickly ran towards the crowd gathered at the entrance.

Just as they approached the entrance, the man who spoke to him just now noticed that Xu Huan had retreated and returned. He was not in the mood to consider these trivial matters. He ordered loudly, “Brothers, since Master Ke has given the order that no one is not allowed to enter Cloud City today, then we can’t let any of these people in front of us enter. We can’t break the rules of the Eighteen Cities!”

Hearing his words, everyone at the entrance raised their arms and shouted, “Yes!�

Xu Huan dug his ears. The atmosphere of these people had filled his heart with the urge to fight these enemies!

At this moment, the pursuers in the car were already prepared and they got out of the car. The black mass of humans was several times larger than the number on this side. The city guards did not even bother looking at these people. Besides two who were left behind to look at the entrance, the others waved their weapons and went forward to fight.

The battle situation instantly became intense. After carefully observing the skills of both sides, Xu Huan acutely noticed that the enemy was not a match for these mere dozen or so defenders.

He calmed down and thought about it calmly. If he hadn’t heard wrongly just now, the person in the lead had mentioned the Eighteen Cities, and there was also Master Long, Master Ke…

Suddenly, an idea flashed across Xu Huan’s mind. He recalled something. Was this person talking about the legendary Eighteen Cities of the Serpent Dragon?

Previously, Xu Huan had discussed a lot of big deals with Huo Xuan. A few of the deals had been handled by Feng Ke, and there were also many rumors going around in the industry. Therefore, Xu Huan had some impressions of this Eighteen Cities.

He did not expect that this tiny Cloud City would have such big action this time to have attracted the attention of the Eighteen Cities of the Serpent Dragon.

After calming down and thinking about it, Xu Huan couldn’t help but feel worried. Huo Xuan’s condition wasn’t good now, and he wondered how Mo Zhu was doing.
