should have been a naturally-formed cave with an enormous space. Over a hundred ghostly figures floated in the middle of this vast natural cavern."Uncle, what are those uncles and aunties doing" While...Miracle Taoist sodu

"Boss, the person I'm referring to is also on the 18th floor, and his membership card isn't a platinum one but a special card!" Seeing his boss look at him, this security guard immediately understood what he meant and quickly explained.

"Uh...," upon hearing the guard's words, Song Hushan glanced at the three people in the elevator again. Instantly, it seemed like he understood something.

"Let's go, take a few people with you and come with me to the 18th floor!" After glancing at the three people in the elevator and then looking at Xiao Yu walking down the corridor on the 18th floor with a gloomy expression, Song Hushan said, his face changing slightly.

"Hushan, what's wrong What happened"

Seeing Song Hushan’s look, everyone else asked in turn.

"Xiao Yu and Zhang Dahan are sworn brothers. And do you know who these people are Now they're keeping a distance from Xiao Yu, clearly trying to protect him. Li Laomu knows very well that this is our territory, yet still wants protection; it's obvious something will happen!"

As Song Hushan spoke, the others nodded thoughtfully. The middle-aged man in his fifties turned around and said to Qi Manager: "Little Qi, take some capable people with you, we're going to the 18th floor." With that, he led the way out.

...

When Xiao Yu arrived on the 18th floor, there were a few guards stationed at the entrance of the corridor. Next to them was a glass door which completely separated off the corridor; in order to enter the 18th floor, one had to go through this glass door. Beside the door was a card reader.

Seeing Xiao Yu get out of the elevator and approach, they didn't say anything. Xiao Yu ignored them, swiped his card lightly at the card reader, and the glass door opened. He walked straight into it without being questioned by any of the guards.

The security measures here were actually quite strict; non-platinum members couldn't enter this area. Platinum members had detailed registrations made about them, and to get in they would have to go through four or five doors with card checks at each one. Each time a card was swiped, their identity was confirmed again. Thus, the security measures here were mostly just for show, there to deal with emergencies.

Xiao Yuxing walked down the corridor of the 18th floor, where lights were bright but it was very quiet. This entire level belonged to VIP Room No.3. On this floor there were rooms for chess and cards, gaming rooms, movie theaters, small bars, cafes, and everything else one could think of.

Suddenly, while walking, Xiao Yuxing paused. From a room not far ahead came sounds of shouting and laughter.

The sound was very low, but thanks to his sharp senses, he was able to hear it clearly.

Xiao Yuxing followed the sound until he reached the door of a room. He listened carefully and realized that this was where the sound was coming from. Xiao Yuxing wondered why there were no people in any of these rooms. He thought that he had wandered into the wrong place, but if it hadn’t been for what the staff member told him, he would have left without even entering.

Now hearing the voices here, he gradually understood that the entire 18th floor was part of VIP Room No.3.

Xiao Yuxing couldn’t help but marvel at how a single entertainment room could occupy an entire floor in contrast to common households where several family members would be squeezed into a small apartment.

Knowing that it wasn't the time for such thoughts, Xiao Yuxing calmed himself and gently pushed open the big door. He found that the door was unlocked, so he stepped inside.

The moment Xiao Yuxing opened the door and entered, the noisy room instantly fell silent.

With a frown on his face, Xiao Yuxing looked at the luxurious pornographic scenes before him.

"Who are you Get out!" A young man in his mid-twenties sitting on a sofa with several naked women around him shouted at Xiao Yuxing who had just walked in.

"Get…."

"Get out…..."

Hearing the shout, the other men present also reacted and began shouting at Xiao Yuxing.

Although these men looked displeased, they did not get up to confront him because they knew where they were and who frequented such places. Even though they didn't recognize Xiao Yu, they understood that he must be someone noteworthy, or else he wouldn’t be able to enter.

Xiao Yu didn't leave but found a clean sofa to sit down on instead. With an amused expression, he said, "Keep going!"

At this point, the men's expressions truly turned sour as they realized Xiao Yu was here for trouble. Therefore, these men got up and put on their clothes, telling the women in the room, "Sweetheart, go to the next room and wait for us. We’ll come find you later."

"No! No! Young Master Wang, we also want to see!" These women were already drunk, so seeing this situation made them realize there was a show to watch. So, they all wanted to stay behind.

"Alright, alright, stay." This young man of around twenty-three or four, upon hearing the woman's words, patted her smooth and delicate buttocks before saying so.

“Who are you brothers It looks like you’re here to deliberately embarrass us!” This young man who was clearly their leader then walked a few steps closer to Xiao Yu after the women left.

"Haha, whether it’s embarrassing or not is still undetermined. That will depend on if you’re the people I’m looking for!" Xiao Yu said as he looked at the five men in front of him.

"I ask you: Was beating someone up at Imperial Cuisine Restaurant today you" Xiao Yu leaned back into his sofa and asked.

“Haha, I thought it was something important! So, this is what you’re here for Yes, it’s us. We didn’t expect the guy to be so resourceful as to let people track him down here. Alright, considering that you also frequent our club, we won't pursue this matter further.”

The young man called Wang laughed and responded.

Without waiting for Xiao Yu's response, he turned to a twenty-something-year-old nearby and said: “Li Zi, call the police station. Considering that this brother is also a Platinum member here, tell them to stop searching if they’ve caught anyone."

"How about it Brother, are you satisfied" Wang then asked Xiao Yu.

This Wang was no fool; in fact, he was quite shrewd. When dealing with ordinary folks, these young masters may appear brainless, but that is not because they lack intelligence—rather, they find it unnecessary to use their brains when a simple sentence can solve the matter for them. Ordinary people are as insignificant as ants in their eyes, and thus do not require any cunning plans or schemes.

But once faced with their equals, their shrewdness became apparent. Even though he didn't recognize Xiao Yu, the fact that Xiao Yu could find him in such a short time proved that Xiao Yu was no ordinary person. At the very least, there must be a powerful force backing him within the 49th City, not to mention that the other party also had a platinum card!

The review for getting a platinum card here is extremely strict; it's only given to those with direct family members who are officials at the level of minister or above. Moreover, entering the private rooms requires even stricter conditions: one must have someone in their family holding the rank of full general or higher, or be an associate state-level official.

Xiao Yu being able to enter here now implies that his background is no simple matter. They often mingle within the 49th City and recognize most individuals who own a platinum card or are eligible to enter VIP rooms. However, they don't recognize Xiao Yu at all, which means only one possibility: his family should hold commanding positions in military regions; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get in.

Therefore, upon seeing the other party, since they could find someone of Xiao Yu's status, their plan of having police arrest him was doomed from the start. If this were to proceed further, it would only add to the ridicule; hence, he instructed Li Shao to have the police retreat.

After that Li Shao returned from making a phone call, Wang Shao turned to Xiao Yu and said, "How about it, bro Isn't that considerate"

"Heh heh, very considerate indeed!" Xiao Yu sneered back.

Xiao Yu didn’t expect these people to be shameless enough; after beating someone up, instead of turning the tables on him, they actually showed respect. This was due to someone influential seeking their help and them choosing not to hold grudges against lesser individuals.

"Alright then, since this matter is settled, let's talk about our current situation!" As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, Wang Shao said again to him.

After saying that, he took a bottle of vodka from the nearby bar counter and placed it on the coffee table beside Xiao Yu, saying, "Heh heh, in this 49th City, we value face. Drink up this bottle of alcohol; for today's matter, let’s pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, letting you leave quickly would make us a laughingstock tomorrow in the city and everyone would want to put one over on us."

Within these idle rich circles, maintaining face is paramount. Xiao Yu coming in like this was seen as challenging their authority; thus, by drinking this bottle of alcohol, it's equivalent to Xiao Yu surrendering his pride and letting them strike a blow, which would allow them to maintain their dignity if they mention this incident.

If Xiao Yu refuses to drink, don't blame them for being impolite. In this circle, stepping on someone or being stepped upon is never reported back home; hence, once stepped upon, one can only seek ways to retaliate later.

"Drinking's fine, but I want to know which two of you were involved in today’s incident" Xiao Yu asked with a calm face as he looked at Wang Shao.

“Haha, it was indeed us two brothers!” A hint of amusement appeared on Wang Shao’s face as he draped an arm around the Li Shao beside him and said to Xiao Yu.ody.In her eyes, Xiao Yu was not only a mysterious figure but also her sole savior."Alright, you just stay here for now! This isn’t something I can resolve in a day. I need to go to Zhonghai and find...
