Chapter 155 - Nemesis (1/2)

Chapter 155 Nemesis

Inside the car. Ye Hao looked through the window at the huge crowds gathered outside the store and the two long lines. This scene startled him. “So many people?”

He raised his head and looked at the store sign. This was the place he was looking for. Then, he saw some familiar faces from the academy. Some of them were top students.

“They…” Ye Hao raised his eyebrows. They got there earlier than him.

He didn’t wait any longer and got out of the car.

The store had not opened yet. The students could only wait there in boredom. Naturally, someone would look around. Soon, someone noticed Ye Hao getting out of that luxurious car. Those students stared at him in bewilderment.

“Look! It’s Ye Hao!”

“He’s here!”

Soon, more people saw Ye Hao. They all turned to look at him, surprised.

Ye Hao was the star student in the academy, and was quite famous with good reason. Almost everyone in the academy knew him.

Ye Hao had been crushed by Luo Fengtian from the Berserking Blade Academy in their recent “friendly” match. But that didn’t imply that Ye Hao was weak. It was that Luo Fengtian was strangely strong! After all, Ye Hao himself was a fifth rank battle pet warrior and had an adult dragon. That was enough for him to overwhelm others.

Ye Hao frowned at the chaos stirred up by him. But he had become used to it. “It’s him?”

Standing on the side, Xu Kuang was surprised to see Ye Hao.

Just then, he felt this person was familiar. That name came to his mind when he heard the other people exclaiming.

It was last year when Xu Kuang was in grade two; he had met this lad named Ye Hao at the exchange match. Back then, Ye Hao lost to him.

In less than a year, that lad had built up more fame.

From the students’ conversations, Xu Kuang had an idea that those students were most likely from the Phoenix Peak Academy.

After some thought, Xu Kuang understood. Amongst all the famous academies in the Longjiang Base City, Phoenix Peak Academy was at the bottom. The academy was located in the shantytown area, quite close to this current address. It wasn’t strange that those students would go to Mr. Su’s home.

But, was this Mr. Su’s home? Xu Kuang doubted it as he looked at the store. Xu Yingxue noticed the look on Xu Kuang’s face. She threw a look to Ye Hao who was in the distance and asked, “Do you know that

guy?”

“Yes. He lost to me last year.” Xu Kuang nodded.

Xu Yingxue didn’t stare at Xu Kuang any longer. She s.h.i.+fted her focus to the store.

It was just… too common.

Why was it a store? This didn’t make sense.

Why would a t.i.tled battle pet warrior run a store in the shantytown area?

“Eh?”

At the moment, Ye Hao noticed the Xu siblings from the corner of his eye, which took him aback.

Those two stood out in the crowd. That girl next to Xu Kuang, in particular, was like a sharp sword unsheathed. The general public might not sense the difference in her. But to Ye Hao, she could catch attention and he felt danger in her.

“It’s him!” Ye Hao recognized Xu Kuang at once. He was surprised, and that emotion was soon replaced with a gloomy mood.

The year before, he fought in an exchange match with a senior from grade three. Unfortunately, Ye Hao was defeated. To make it worse, afterward, he was taunted and laughed at by his opponent, Xu Kuang.

For that very reason, he was able to make a striking progress in the past year.

n.o.body would be able to imagine what kind of h.e.l.lish experience he went through to train.

To some extent, he had to thank Xu Kuang. But he would never forgive him!

Xu Kuang raised his eyebrows and made a provocative face. He had noticed the coldness in Ye Hao’s eyes. How could his defeated opponent be this arrogant?

Ye Hao pressed down his anger since he was wary of the lady next to Xu Kuang. By the looks of it, Xu Kuang and this lady seemed to be close. Even though Ye Hao was confident that he could defeat Xu Kuang easily by then, he could not be this impulsive.

With a loud noise, the store’s door was opened. Su Ping looked tired. He threw a look at the dense crowds by the door. All of them were young people. They had to be from the Phoenix Peak Academy.

“Those coming to pick up pets, line up on the right. Those coming to train pets, line up on the left. Right side first,” Su Ping said the usual rule.

The two lines were ready. This was attributable to some recurrent customers. They helped Su Ping organize everything.

“Mr. Su?”

The first in line was still Zhang Baoxing. Since he had failed to be the first one previously, he showed up earlier this day. At four in the morning. Zhang Baoxing was surprised to see Su Ping coming out from the store. “Mr. Su, why were you here already?”

“I slept in the store.” Su Ping glanced at him. He remembered Zhang Baoxing well and admired the latter. It wasn’t easy to be the first in line every time. “Wait here. I’ll get your pet.”

With that said, Su Ping went inside.
