Tiger Tang, one of the protectors of the Shadow Gang.
Ye Chen had a conflict with a few Shadow Gang henchmen at a restaurant while dining with Lin Man. Tiger Tang and his men were sent by the Shadow Gang to confront Ye Chen, but they were terrified by Ye Chen's aura and quickly ran back to the Shadow Gang, praising the toughness of the people in the Poverty District.
Later, the Shadow Gang's leader, Tu Xiao, along with the six protectors, came to apologize to Ye Chen. Tu Xiao had recognized Ye Chen from his time as a judge at the Three Academy Tournament and knew about Ye Chen's connection to Lin Man.
"Tiger Tang, this man wants to enter, but we stopped him. He claims to be a friend of our leader. I think he's a spy sent by the Jin family," one of the men in black said to Tiger Tang.
A spy from the Jin family?
Tiger Tang sneered, "What audacity!"
He then looked at Ye Chen.
The moment Tiger Tang's gaze landed on Ye Chen, his expression changed dramatically. He was initially going to say something, but he was too shocked to form a complete sentence.
The other men in black were also bewildered, not understanding why Tiger Tang suddenly looked so terrified.
"Ye Chen, it's you!"
Tiger Tang finally managed to utter Ye Chen's name.
What!!! All the men in black were dumbfounded. Was it really Ye Chen? The same Ye Chen who had single-handedly turned the tide and killed the North City Overlord, King Kong Barbarian Ape?
Even though Ye Chen had mentioned his name to them earlier, they hadn't believed it until now. But hearing Tiger Tang confirm it, they had no choice but to believe.
"Ye Chen, no!"
Tiger Tang realized his mistake and quickly gave himself a slap in the face.
"Mr. Ye, you're back?"
Tiger Tang's voice became extremely respectful.
"Take me inside," Ye Chen said.
Tiger Tang didn't dare to show any neglect and promptly led Ye Chen into the Shadow Gang's headquarters.
In the Shadow Gang's main hall, several protectors were filled with righteous indignation and looked ready to vent their anger at the Jin family.
"Jin family is really going too far!"
"That's right, I'm ready to confront the Jin family head-on, even if it means death."
"But the Jin family's strength is overwhelming."
The five protectors sitting in the hall were fuming with anger. They saw Tiger Tang enter with Ye Chen, and their expressions changed dramatically.
"Ye, Ye Chen?"
All five protectors were stunned. They even rubbed their eyes, feeling like they must be seeing things.
Suddenly, joy filled their faces.
Ye Chen's return meant that they had a chance to resist the Jin family. After all, Ye Chen had a connection with the number one powerhouse in East Base City, Lin Man.
However, they still couldn't believe that Ye Chen was the legendary figure who had turned the tide and defeated the North City Overlord.
When City Lord Feng Zhan announced the situation to White Cloud Base City and its four affiliated base cities, they had discussed it, and their unanimous conclusion was that the Ye Chen they knew was just someone with the same name and surname as the legendary Ye Chen.
"Where's Man?" Ye Chen asked the protectors in front of him.
"Mr. Ye, Miss Lin is with our leader. Our leader was injured by the Jin family's men, and Miss Lin is taking care of him," one of the protectors replied.
"Mr. Ye, let me take you there."
Ye Chen nodded, and Tiger Tang led him to the second floor.
