At Villa No. 001, Lakeview No. 3 in the villa district, Diamond Supreme Cheng Gang entered the courtyard, surveying the surroundings with a smile and said, "This place is nice, young man. Lake views, a small yard, and a villa."
This was Xiao Ye's assigned accommodation, where he lived with Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi.
"Not bad," Xiao Ye replied.
Cheng Gang handed Xiao Ye a bag. "This is the shark cartilage and shark fin from a Grandmaster-level sea shark. I don't need it anymore, so it's yours."
"You young folks might not need it yet, but it's nice to collect."
Xiao Ye took a look inside and, indeed, saw a large piece that was a bit intimidating.
"Since it's from you, Cheng, I'll accept it."
Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi curiously peeked and blushed.
"I'll make tea!" "I'll do laundry!" They quickly left.
Xiao Ye stroked his chin, thinking: They weren't shy when acting like wolves at night. But now, this makes them shy?
"Understood!" Cheng Gang, with no airs of a Supreme, gave Xiao Ye a knowing look.
"How's the start of school, young man?" Cheng Gang asked.
Xiao Ye frowned, "It's alright."
Seeing Xiao Ye's displeased expression, Cheng Gang's face darkened, "Young man, are you facing any trouble?"
"You can tell me."
"If anyone dares trouble my brother, I'll take care of them!"
Xiao Ye was his benefactor, having resolved his long-standing physical issue, allowing him to stand tall before his wife. Anyone troubling Xiao Ye wouldn't be tolerated by Diamond Supreme.
Xiao Ye hadn't intended to mention it, but since Cheng Gang insisted, he said, "Not a big deal, just some self-important people using their family's power to bully others in the academy."
"What!?" Cheng Gang was furious.
"Such blatant, morally corrupt students in the academy!"
Xiao Ye patted Cheng Gang's shoulder, sighing, "What can I do? It's beyond my control."
"Besides, I heard that guy's family is quite powerful."
Cheng Gang, enraged, said, "Young man, did he bully you? Who is he?"
"How dare he bully my brother! I'll deal with him!"
"Powerful family or not, I'll teach him a lesson!"
Seeing Cheng Gang's enthusiasm, Xiao Ye thought and said, "He's in the student council. I don't know his name."
Cheng Gang replied, "No problem. My son is coming over, and he's familiar with the academy. He'll know."
As he spoke, Cheng Gang's communicator rang, and he answered.
"Dad, I'm outside Villa No. 001, Lakeview No. 3. Let me in."
Cheng Gang replied, "On my way."
Hanging up, Cheng Gang smiled, "Young man, my son is also a senior at Kunpeng Combat Academy. He's familiar with the place. If you ever need help, you can ask him or call me."
"We'll help you!"
Xiao Ye felt warmth from Cheng Gang, "Thank you, Cheng."
Cheng Gang waved it off and went to open the gate, bringing in a senior student with a dragon tattoo on his arm.
This was Cheng Yi, the student council president.
Cheng Yi cheerfully said, "Dad, your friend's place has a great view."
Cheng Gang flicked his forehead, sternly instructing, "Of course! He's my brother!"
"Remember to call him uncle and be respectful!"
Cheng Yi, rubbing his forehead, assured, "Don't worry, Dad, I'm good at socializing."
He carried a bag of Longjing tea, supposedly picked from beside a dragon pool, rare and precious.
Cheng Gang nodded, adjusting Cheng Yi's rolled-up sleeves to cover the dragon tattoo. Satisfied, he led him into the villa's living room.
As Cheng Yi followed Cheng Gang inside, he called out with respect, "Uncle, I've heard of your reputation. It's an honor to meet you."
But a moment later, he locked eyes with Xiao Ye, exclaiming, "It's you!?"
Xiao Ye frowned, "You're Cheng's son?"
Sensing tension, Cheng Gang, puzzled, asked, "Young man, do you know each other?"
Xiao Ye's mouth twitched, "He's the one I mentioned."
He never expected the student council president to be Cheng Gang's son!
"What?" Cheng Gang looked confused, then furious, slapping the back of Cheng Yi's head.
With a loud thud, Cheng Yi was embedded in the ground, creating a small crater.
Cheng Gang, enraged, said, "So the morally corrupt brat is you!"
He then kicked Cheng Yi's backside twice, the sound indicating his strength.
"Ouch! It hurts!" Cheng Yi cried, bruised and swollen.
"Dad! I don't know what you're talking about," he pleaded.
Cheng Gang, who valued family and character, was strict about these aspects. He angrily scolded:
"You brat, you're getting bold, using your parents' status as Supremes to bully others."
"Good thing my brother told me, or we'd think you're studying diligently."
The more Cheng Gang hit, the angrier he became. After ten minutes, the floor was almost caved in.
Cheng Yi, wailing, dared not fight back. His arrogance was gone, leaving him like a soaked dog.
Xiao Ye watched, amused, sipping tea and snacking, finding it entertaining.
Seeing the floor damaged, revealing the basement, Cheng Gang stopped, a bit embarrassed, and said:
"Sorry, got carried away and broke the floor."
Xiao Ye waved it off, "No worries. If you're not done, keep going; I don't mind."
Cheng Gang's eyes lit up; he wasn't done yet and was itching for more!
Hearing this, Cheng Yi shivered, struggling to kneel before Xiao Ye, pleading:
"Uncle, Uncle Xiao, I was wrong!"
"I'll have the floor repaired, just stop hitting me!"
"Any more, and I'll be done for!"
