Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 661 People Have Arrived

"Of course not, we just got here too."

Hearing Xu Ke's words, Bai Qian'er gave a slight smile, but her breathing grew rapid and her heart pounded in her chest. She was very nervous, but at the same time, she was incredibly excited.

As a martial fanatic, her greatest desire was to compete and battle with powerful geniuses her own age, a fact made clear by how she frequently sought trouble with Xu Ke back in Sui City. Now that the opportunity was right in front of her, how could Bai Qian'er not be thrilled? She almost wanted to call Madame Yu and thank her for creating this opportunity!

However, although Bai Qian'er was excited, she knew there was an objective gap in strength between herself and Xu Ke. She didn't hold out hope for victory today—she only wanted a thoroughly satisfying fight.

But seeing Bai Qian'er's expression, Fang Caizhe's gaze grew even more venomous. Because of Bai Qian'er's attitude towards Xu Ke, coupled with one thing after another, his hatred for Xu Ke had become profoundly deep. However, after his jealous rage subsided, Fang Caizhe sneered.

So what if Xu Ke is impressive? Just wait. In a little while, he'll be no different from a dead dog!

"Yeah, we just got here."

No one knew what Fang Caizhe was thinking. At this moment, Xiang Hongyu cheerfully took over the conversation. She first bowed politely to Tang Yingchang before clapping Xu Ke on the shoulder. "Xu Ke, you'd better be mentally prepared today. To win this trial, we will stop at nothing!"

"I'll be waiting," Xu Ke said with a smile.

"Alright then, Mister Xu..." Ma Lian stepped forward, about to speak.

Xiang Hongyu frowned and interrupted him. "Why are you being so formal? Is he a stranger to you? We're going to be comrades in arms, so everyone, be less formal!"

"Ah?" Ma Lian was stunned by her words and looked hesitantly toward Xu Ke.

"Just call me Xu Ke," Xu Ke chuckled, seeing his reaction.

Xiang Hongyu is as fierce as ever! he thought to himself.

Duan Zhuo'e, standing to the side, was speechless. How are we comrades in arms? This is the Seasoned Envoy!

"Alright, then Xu Ke, didn't you say before that we could fight you one-on-one, in a gauntlet, or even all five of us together? As long as we win, it's fine?" Ma Lian asked. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Correct." Xu Ke nodded.

Hearing this, Fang Caizhe, who was standing off to the side, snorted. "Even all together is okay? Do you really think you're invincible? Weren't you beaten until you vomited blood and passed out last time, needing someone else to save you?"

"What a show-off!" Before he could finish, Xiang Hongyu spun around and glared fiercely at him. "Is your mouth clogged with shit? Do you need me to get a toilet plunger and unclog it for you?"

"Xiang Hongyu, what did you just say?" Fang Caizhe roared in anger.

"What did I say? You didn't understand? Looks like your ears are clogged too, huh?!"

"You..."

Xu Ke, seeing this, couldn't be bothered to argue with Fang Caizhe. "Alright, let's not waste time bickering. Let's get started."

"Right!" everyone said in unison.

Seeing that everyone was listening to Xu Ke, Fang Caizhe ground his teeth in fury.

"Qian'er wants to have a match with you first. After that, we'll skip the gauntlet and go straight to a group battle!" Ma Lian explained.

They knew this approach was unsportsmanlike, but while they were proud, they weren't fools. To defeat a genius like Xu Ke, who could already challenge those in higher realms, they had no choice but to employ "unsportsmanlike" tactics.

"Fine. Bai Qian'er, you can come up first." Xu Ke nodded, indicating that he understood. He walked straight to the center, signaling for Bai Qian'er to begin.

I'm not in a hurry. Taking on the Northern Dragon Guard first is fine. I want to see just how long the people hiding in the shadows can hold out…

Bai Qian'er nodded and suppressed her excitement, preparing to step forward.

But just then...

BANG. BANG. BANG.

Suddenly, the sound of heavy doors slamming shut echoed from all directions. Tang Yingchang, who had remained vigilant, immediately scanned their surroundings, his gaze sharpening. All the exits in the gymnasium were being sealed off.

The next moment, Xu Ke looked up, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. All the security cameras, which had been blinking with red lights, simultaneously lost power. Not only that, but the ventilation fans, air conditioning, and all other fans also shut down. Seeing this, Xu Ke pulled out his phone.

Just as he expected.

There was no signal.

Looks like they're being thorough. To prevent any leaks, they've blocked everything.

Witnessing this scene, Bai Qian'er's pretty face turned pale. "What's happening?"

"Ma Lian, check the circuit breaker!" Xiang Hongyu said urgently, pulling out her own phone to contact the gymnasium manager.

However, before she could even realize there was no signal, the inner doors on all four sides of the gymnasium were pushed open, and eight people walked in. The doors they came through perfectly blocked all possible escape routes from the center of the arena.

The moment the eight people entered, the faces of the four young geniuses—everyone except Xu Ke, his servant, and Fang Caizhe—drained of color. Every one of the eight intruders was emitting a terrifyingly powerful aura—an aura they had only ever sensed from the top experts in their clans and within the Northern Dragon Guard.

Innate Great Perfection!

"How can there be so many?!" Bai Qian'er cried out in horror.

Xiang Hongyu, Ma Lian, and Duan Zhuo'e all tensed up, their faces turning ashen. Anyone could see that the situation had just taken a disastrous turn. Their first thought was that these eight were likely enemies of the Northern Dragon Guard, here to wipe out a group of their most promising talents in one fell swoop.

Among the eight, the leader, moving with incredible speed, was Nie Yuntian, an old man with a weathered face, carrying a large saber tightly wrapped in yellow cloth on his back. The others were Ye Lang, Han Wang, Shi Hongda, the Yin Yang Elders, and Ye Taiqing. Trailing at the very back was a tall, expressionless old man whose hands were stained a deep red.

Seeing Nie Yuntian and the red-handed elder, Xu Ke's eyes narrowed slightly.

It appears these two old rascals were sent by Yan Xuehai and Wong Ting…

As the group slowly closed in on Xu Ke, Fang Caizhe, who had been silent on the sidelines, finally let out an irrepressible, wild laugh. "Hahaha, Xu Ke, your time has come! I told you not to be so arrogant. Now, your retribution is here!"

"Fang Caizhe, what do you mean?" Xiang Hongyu and Bai Qian'er's expressions changed drastically as they questioned him in shock.

Could it be that this trap was set by Fang Caizhe?

"You betrayed us?" Bai Qian'er snapped.

"What do you mean, 'betrayed you'? I did no such thing! Rest assured, these eight esteemed seniors are not here for us. They're here for Xu Ke!" Fang Caizhe said, not hesitating to kick a man when he was down. He looked at the silently standing Xu Ke and laughed. "He was too overbearing and offended too many people. With so many folks wanting him dead, I merely gave things a little push. I just told them the location of our Northern Dragon Guard's trial, that's all! Xu Ke, enjoy this. Let's see if you can still act so defiant now!"

"Bastard, I'll kill you first!" Duan Zhuo'e roared, overcome with rage.

Xu Ke, the Seasoned Envoy, was a member of the Northern Dragon Guard. Fang Caizhe's actions were tantamount to betraying a comrade in arms. What's the difference between this behavior and that of a beast?
