Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 319

Chapter 319: Placing bets on a fight.

In the end, Maurice became a notorious figure in the war with the Federation, smuggling weapons for rebel groups and causing endless trouble. But now, he was just a timid young man doing dirty work for a prince.

Shaken by Han Xin’s words, Maurice looked up, his eyes wide with fear. His mother was his pillar, his light. If anything happened to her, he would fall into deep despair.

Han Xin acted as if he was leaving, but Maurice hurriedly stood up and blocked his path. He began to chirp like a bird, spilling everything he knew. Maurice thought the information was about Han Xin, so it wouldn’t be a problem anyway.

Han Xin’s face remained indifferent, but internally, he was shaken. It felt like a high-magnitude earthquake. He wondered what Xiang Yu was planning to do with that information. Was he planning on punishing him for humiliating him or embarrass him in front of everyone.

Maurice seemed anxious to know what the class president knew, so Han Xin didn’t delay any longer. He sent Maurice an address and said, "Keep your mother there for a week. I will expose the Raunet family’s plans."

Han Xin had already wanted Maurice’s expertise, given that his uncle was part of the interstellar pirates and knew all the secret routes. This incident just sped up his plans to win Maurice over. Maurice was a little confused. Everyone knew that Han Xin was powerless, with his only backing being the crown prince. Yet now, Maurice saw the trustworthy look on Han Xin’s face and didn’t doubt him anymore.

Just as Han Xin turned to walk away, he got the answer to his question on what exactly Xiang Yu was going to do with that information. Xiang Yu came storming in, looking like a bull seeing red. Han Xin thought Xiang Yu would head straight towards Han Xin, but instead, he made a beeline for Fang Aungier, as if he hadn’t seen Han Xin at all.

Earlier on

Xiang Yu watched the video Maurice had sent him, his anger growing with each passing second. The sight of Fang Aungier harassing Han Xin made his blood boil. If it hadn’t been for Lian and Mei stepping in to defend him, how far would they have gone to humiliate him? He understood why Lian and Mei hadn’t told him immediately. They knew he would explode.

Seething with rage, Xiang Yu angrily packed his things and stormed out of the changing room. As he entered the training room, he saw students scattered everywhere, chatting and tussling while waiting for the instructor. His eyes scanned the room, and he immediately spotted his target.

A malicious smile crept across Xiang Yu’s face as he zeroed in on Fang Aungier. The unsuspecting young man was laughing with a group of friends, completely unaware of the storm heading his way. Xiang Yu’s presence was like a dark cloud, and the room seemed to quiet as he approached. In essence, Fang Aungier was, what do they call it... ah yes, Fang Aungier was fucked.

When Lian and Mei spotted their master stalking his prey like a cheetah about to pounce, they rushed over, not to stop him, but to back him up.

Xiang Yu stood in front of Fang Aungier, his aura so intimidating that it startled him for a moment. Fang Aungier initially thought it was an alpha of higher rank sneaking up on him, but when he saw it was the "clown prince," he relaxed, a sneer forming on his face.
