Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Both the man and the brown bear were dragged away, making way for a hungry tiger that had not eaten in seven days. Its roars reverberated through the Colosseum, threatening to tear the roof apart. Suddenly, a figure dressed in white emerged in the arena.

The person had short hair and a face that blurred the line between masculine and feminine. He was of Chinese descent, possessing a slender physique with a thin waist and long, bamboo-like legs. The win rate between the tiger and the young man, Ji Yan, stood at an impressive 9:1, and it was still growing.

The emcee introduced the young man as Ji Yan, a renowned fashion brand designer who would challenge the reigning Champion Tiger tonight. True to its name, the Champion Tiger had never been defeated. Beast fights were the crudest form of entertainment among the wealthy.

The fight commenced, and the tiger lunged at Ji Yan.

With remarkable agility, Ji Yan effortlessly dodged the tiger’s attack. Each time the tiger missed, it would immediately counter with another pounce.

The audience began to boo.

“We didn’t come to watch a game of hide-and-seek!”

“Fight back! Show some teeth!”

“Don’t be a coward, face it head-on!”

The arena resounded with disapproving jeers. Ji Yan’s movements were neither too fast nor too slow. This enraged the tiger. The colosseum bell rang, warning both participants. The arena’s cage began to constrict, leaving Ji Yan with limited room to dodge.

After missing its target over ten times, the tiger’s hunger fueled its anger. It launched another attack, striking Ji Yan with precision and tearing his white shirt apart. Four bloody wounds appeared on the young man’s back, their sight intensifying the atmosphere of the entire scene.

The tiger chased Ji Yan as he continuously circled the Colosseum. With each stride, the tiger inched closer, and in a swift motion, it leaped from the ground, jaws wide open, aiming to seize Ji Yan from behind.

In a sudden halt, Ji Yan’s flexible body leaned backward, allowing him to slip under the tiger’s belly. He swiftly punched the tiger’s stomach.

In agony, the tiger rolled on the ground, roaring in anger.

With one hand planted on the ground, Ji Yan wiped the blood from his face using his thumb. An evil smile spread across his handsome face, instantly breathing life into his features. There was a natural allure to him, his face brimming with vitality.

“Come on!”

Enraged, the tiger lunged at him once more. Ji Yan bent down, leaped forward, and charged toward the tiger. The tiger’s jaws opened wide, but Ji Yan landed a punch to its head. The tiger spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed, unable to move.

Ji Yan slammed his fist into the ground. After three seconds of silence, a loud eruption of noise filled the Colosseum.

The bell rang, but the tiger struggled to rise and promptly fell back down.

Ji Yan emerged as the victor.

With a devilish smile on his face, the white-clad youth waved at the audience. The black diamond earrings dangling from his ears sparkled, adding to his mysterious and bloodthirsty appearance.

Lu Zhiyuan remained expressionless, his eyes filled with depth.

As the white-robed youth and the defeated tiger captivated the crowd, the youth became the star of the Colosseum.

Lu Zhiyuan stood up and left.

Half an hour later, Ji Yan walked over, donning a fresh shirt and exuding a tall and slender aura.

“Third Master!”

Lu Zhiyuan nodded, walking ahead with his hands behind his back. Ji Yan followed behind him. “The Colosseum is a dangerous place. You can’t walk by the river without wetting your shoes. Be careful,” Lu Zhiyuan cautioned.

Ji Yan replied, “Chen Ru enjoys beast fights. To gain his trust, I have to take an unconventional path. Don’t worry, Third Master. I know what I’m doing. This life belongs to you. A mere ferocious tiger cannot claim it.”

“How is the situation in Europe?”

“As you predicted, my sudden transfer to Asia caused a significant uproar within the headquarters. The Brown family seeks to win me over and secure a foothold for me in Europe. The Chen family wants me to assist them in the M Nation. I’ve encountered disputes between the two factions during the transition work. I estimate that it will take another month before I can reach City A to handle Chen Rushi.”

“Half a month. Deal with everything.”

Ji Yan’s expression turned solemn. “Understood. Third Master, Miss Chen has been secretly in contact with Lu Shijie. They have formed a partnership using the trust fund of his first love’s current lover. The contact has been ongoing for the past six months.”

“Xiao En dared to attack me at the racetrack and used Gu Ci to provoke me. Do you think the Chen clan suspects my true identity?”

“Yes, sir!” Ji Yan replied. “It is too much of a coincidence.”

“I will entrust this matter to Li Jiang.” Lu Zhiyuan paused, looking deeply at Ji Yan. “Why did Gu Ziyu seek you out?”

Lu Zhiyuan’s commanding presence completely enveloped Ji Yan. A chill ran down Ji Yan’s spine as the night breeze blew. Ji Yan confessed, “Third Master, I swear, I am also perplexed by this matter. Why does the young master know me, and why does he support me? I truly have no knowledge of it at all. And… the young master… cough, he desires to kill you and seize power.”

“A six-year-old’s appearance with the mind of a twenty-six-year-old,” Lu Zhiyuan concluded coldly. “He is quite ambitious.”

Ji Yan dared not speak. When legends clashed, innocent people should not be implicated.

Lu Zhiyuan gazed at him intently, causing Ji Yan to break out in a cold sweat. Ji Yan hurriedly declared, “Third Master, I know you suspect me. Yes, I am indeed suspicious. I admit it. You sent me to Black Eagle, and yet the young master found me and divulged everything about me. Moreover, his details were accurate. This is highly unusual. However, as I swore before, I, Ji Yan, will remain loyal to Third Master for the rest of my life. If you pass away, my loyalty will shift to Miss Gu Ci. And if both of you pass away and have children, I will be loyal to your children. If none of you pass away, I will dismantle Black Eagle. I will remain loyal for the remainder of my life and never betray you.”

Ji Yan was already a well-known designer, but his design work served as a mere side job. In the eyes of many prominent figures, he was considered inexperienced… Just a mere tailor.

This life belonged to Third Master, and he would move it wherever it was needed.

“Continue to keep in contact with him and find out what his intentions are,” Lu Zhiyuan’s voice grew softer. “This child holds grudges. If he intends to dismantle Black Eagle, then Black Eagle must have committed some grave wrong against him.”

“The young master has been rather distant from the rest of the family recently,” Ji Yan wanted to vent his frustrations. This young master was unpredictable. Initially, he was caring and affectionate, but then he turned cold and distant. Lately, he had disappeared altogether.

“That is your problem.”

“Yes, it must be because I am not charming enough. I will reflect on myself!” Ji Yan quickly reassured, “Third Master, may I see the young master when I visit City A?”

“You may,” Lu Zhiyuan replied, his lips curling into a faint smile. “He has tacitly acknowledged that he is your master. Continue with this charade.”

“My master will always be Third Master!” Ji Yan expressed his loyalty without hesitation. When Lu Zhiyuan glanced at him, Ji Yan even displayed a pure smile, making Li Jiang feel a pang of envy.

He truly envied Ji Yan. Only he dared to smile in front of Third Master.

Lu Zhiyuan reached out his hand, and Li Jiang handed him his phone. Lu Zhiyuan sent a list to Ji Yan. “Get rid of everyone on this list.”

Ji Yan glanced at the list, his expression turning serious..
