Tang Hao's arrival was known to no one but Ye Feng.
At this moment, the lights in the rest room dimmed as if everything had returned to silence.
Upstairs, however, a VIP viewing room was bustling with activity.
Everyone gathered around the three-seater sofa.
"What, what happened to me?"
Tang San's face was pale.
"He's awake! My God, thank heavens, Xiaosan, you've finally come around!"
The Shrek group sighed deeply with relief.
They were almost scared to death by Tang San who was at death's door just moments ago!
Luckily, he had woken up.
"Brother, promise me, please don't do anything so dangerous again, Xiaowu is really fine... sob sob sob~~"
Xiaowu threw herself onto Tang San's chest.
Her beautiful eyes brimmed with tears!!
Seeing Dean Flender carrying Xiaosan back, Xiaowu's heart shattered into pieces.
Although she was a bit injured from the fight with the Bloodthirsty Demon, she truly didn't care; it wasn't worth Xiaosan risking his life for.
"How come I'm here? Did we win or lose?"
Looking at Xiaowu crying on his chest, and the worried eyes of those around him, Tang San was bewildered.
Wasn't he fighting the Bloodthirsty Demon below?
How did he end up here all of a sudden?
And his whole body was sore and swollen.
"You lost, Third Brother. It was Dean Flender who brought you up here,"
Ning Rongrong spoke up.
Sooner or later he had to know.
There was no point in hiding it.
"I lost?!"
Tang San's pupils suddenly constricted!
The only thing he remembered was someone appearing behind him.
Then he passed out.
In the conference room.
"Flender, are you saying that you didn't intervene at all just now? How is that possible!"
Only Master and Yu Xiaogang were present.
The Master stared at Flender with a face full of perplexity.
"Hmm, I had just gotten to the top, and then the Cobweb Cage that Xiaosan had established exploded, and immediately after that, I saw Xiaosan lying on the ground, with the Bloodthirsty Demon completely unharmed!"
Flender couldn't make sense of it.
In theory, it should have been a lethal move by Tang San.
It should have cost the Bloodthirsty Demon its life.
Why did it end so abruptly and seemingly in haste?
"This is really strange! Could it be that Xiaosan ran out of Soul Power and the Bloodthirsty Demon broke through the last hit?"
The Master murmured, with a gaze that seemed to ponder some profound matters.
He had initially thought that Flender intervened secretly and forcibly separated the two.
To his surprise, Flender had done nothing.
But according to that scenario, the battle shouldn't have ended so quickly.
"I've considered that, but in a fight to the death like that, when I saw the Bloodthirsty Demon's murderous intent, the weaker Xiaosan got, the more likely he should have been to seize the opportunity to take his life. So why did Xiaosan end up fainting unscathed on the ground as though someone had suddenly knocked him out? And Xiaosan's Cobweb bound seemed as if it was blasted apart by a powerful force!"
After all, Flender was a Soul Sage.
He could infer a thing or two from the debris on the scene.
"Are you suggesting someone intervened in the fight before you could?"
The Master's tone became an intensified question!
Clearly, he was skeptical!
"Hmm, yes, it's very possible that someone knocked Tang San out and broke through the Cobweb bound he had set up."
Flender nodded his head.
He believed that possibility was very high.
"Do you think such a thing is possible? In the full view of everyone, how could anyone get in? Even if they managed to get in, how could they escape unnoticed by everyone? Are we all blind? Fine! Let's say we're all blind, including Brock and me! But I have another question: if someone really knocked out Tang San and blew up his third soul skill, what was the Bloodthirsty Demon doing? Didn't you say he was filled with the intent to kill, that he wanted to murder? And he just stood there watching the show??"
Master directly confronted Dean Flender with a triple question!
His expression was similar to someone looking at an idiot.
"This… Maybe the Bloodthirsty Demon was threatened too??"
Dean Flender blurted out.
But as soon as he said it, he regretted it.
Just considering the Soul Elders in the Bloodthirsty Demon Clan, they must be from a hidden family; who could threaten such a person?!
"Do you have a problem here? Given the family backing him, who could threaten him?!"
Sure enough, the Master immediately seized on the most contradictory point.
Then he made a gesture towards his head.
As if to say, brother, are you out of your mind?
After all, who was this person?
Wealthy, influential, talented, and powerful—who in little Soto City could threaten him? Would he listen to you??
The Master said irritably.
What on earth was going through Dean Flender's mind?
"Sigh, when you put it that way, it does make sense."
Dean Flender sighed faintly.
It did sound absurd indeed.
"However, Brock, there's something I'm not sure whether I should mention."
Dean Flender started to speak.
"Speak!"
The Master replied with one word.
"Do you know who Xiaosan's father is? If it was his doing, then it might be possible!"
Dean Flender took a step closer.
He whispered cautiously.
As if afraid that someone else might hear him.
If there was anyone in this world who could pull off what just happened, it left no room for doubt except for that man!!
Of course, he had no idea whether his old buddy was aware that Tang San was that man's son.
"You recognize this, don't you? He has been in seclusion for a long time, not involved in these matters."
The Master took out a token.
"He, he actually gave you this??"
Dean Flender was aghast!
"From the day Xiaosan became my disciple, I knew who this person was! Later, his father even visited me personally, asking me to guide him well!"
The Master stood with his hands behind his back as he spoke.
He, Yu Xiaogang, knew long ago that Tang San's father was Tang Hao!
The super-genius who once reigned supreme over the entire Continent.
He admitted that the man indeed had the capability.
But would he come here?
Clearly not!
Thus, it was an option that could be ruled out through experience and logic!
"So, what exactly happened here? Alas, we might only find out once Xiaosan wakes up."
Dean Flender shook his head slightly.
Asking the person involved would certainly be better than making blind guesses here.
"We don't need to ask him about that; I've already deduced a reliable answer based on the facts just now."
The Master lifted his chin slightly.
Looking out the window, he seemed deep in thought.
"A reliable answer? What is it??"
Hearing this, Dean Flender showed eager interest.
