Chapter 10: Born Arch-Enemies

  Following the sound, looking back, at this moment, three groups of people have gathered at the school gate. Nie Zhenbang's group, Zhou Chen's group, and Yang Anbang, who is now smoking a cigarette without any scruples, leaning against the wall of the school gate, with a completely relaxed attitude.

  Nie Zhenbang's eyes were fixed on Zhou Chen, his gaze locked onto the third-generation leader of the Zhou family. This was the enemy destined by fate. In the previous life, after the departure of the old master of the Nie family, the Zhou family, as a key force in the government, clashed with the Nie family in a fierce battle for military power. The highest leader at that time intervened to mediate, and only then did the Zhou family back down. However, from then on, Zhou Chen had set his sights on Nie Zhenbang, who became the laughing stock of the imperial capital's noble circle. As an illegitimate child, he was naturally a target for ridicule and scorn. It is unknown how Nie Zhenbang offended him, but Zhou Chen seemed to take great pleasure in humiliating Nie Zhenbang. Later, Nie Guodong decisively established his own household, while Nie Guowei never recovered from the blow. The mastermind behind this was none other than Zhou Chen.

  When he heard this sentence, Nie Jiamin had already stood up: "Zhou Chen, what are you talking about? Are you looking for a fight?"

  Nie Zhenbang stared at Zhou Chen, a flash of cold light in his eyes. He smiled lightly and said: "I was wondering who it was? The young master of the Zhou family, ah. Eldest son and legitimate grandson, with a noble birthright. Shouldn't you be addressed as 'Big Brother'?"

  Zhou Chenyi heard this and a hint of a pleased smile appeared on his face. As the third generation direct descendant of the Zhou family, he truly lived up to this title.

  However, Nie Zhenbang suddenly changed the subject: "Zhou Chen, when did your dad's pants get torn? How could he accidentally create you? I really admire God's wonder, it's as if that angel sister was so bored. She didn't put a useless thing in a hot pot, but instead put it in her belly. What's going on? Did I bite you or take a dump on your head? Could it be that your family's old man has something outside too? Why hasn't your big brother from the folk come to find you?"

  Nie Zhenbang's words were extremely sharp and venomous. Having gone through 24 years of miserable fate, he had learned a lot of classic insults from the 21st century. At this moment, he used them with ease, performing perfectly. At least, Zhou Chen's face had turned into a liver color.

  Next to him, Yang Anbang was stunned, this is his mother's genius. The scolding words are really classic. Nie Jiamin also had a face of worship at this moment, his own brother is indeed the best among people and horses, dare to speak back to elders at home, and read books. This kid does whatever he wants, still so awesome. Nie Jiamin thinks that this is a completely justified reason to play around. Now, even scolding people has such a high level. At this moment, Nie Jiamin feels like he's looking up to a high mountain.

  Nie Zhenbang, I didn't underestimate you, you're just at this level after all. You're a mongrel raised by the common people, no family education. Zhou Chen's face turned iron blue, but as a member of a large and carefully cultivated family, he still had some upbringing. Moreover, his counterattack was also extremely vicious.

  Nie Zhenbang at this moment, has no intention of maintaining a good relationship with Zhou Chen. From the moment they met, it was destined that the two could not become friends. In terms of faction, the Nie family is conservative, while the Zhou family is neutral. Historically, the Nie family has always followed the military route, and their involvement in politics is secondary. On the other hand, the Zhou family's connections are mostly in politics. From a historical perspective, what the Zhou family did in the previous life, especially their betrayal at the end, led to the complete defeat of the conservative faction. The Zhou family became the big winner instead. This point alone has destined that the two cannot become friends. Since they both need to step on others' corpses to rise to power, Nie Zhenbang had already been a corpse once in the previous life, so this time it's the Zhou family's turn. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang has not considered the possibility of peaceful coexistence, and that is why they are sworn enemies. The two are natural-born arch-enemies, now and forever.

  "Nie Zhenbang, cut the crap. I'm not one for idle chit-chat. If you've got what it takes, let's put our skills to the test. Don't tell me you're afraid, or I'll really lose all respect for you. Taking you down will be child's play." Zhou Chen seemed quite confident in himself.

  "Just you? Son, I'm not underestimating you. Do you think this is a reunion of the old three classes? Your father wasn't so arrogant back then either. Do you think you're a god descended from heaven? Give you a hundred guts. Dare to try and kill me? What methods do you have, bring them on. Location, time, method, choose whatever you want. I, Nie Zhenbang, am not someone who can be intimidated." Looking at Zhou Chen, Nie Zhenbang was very disdainful.

  Nie Zhenbang was well aware that he had just arrived and was still trying to find his footing in the circle, although he had barely managed to stand firm for now. However, in other people's eyes, he hadn't yet reached the qualification to sit on an equal level with others. For example, Yang Anbang, as well as Li Zhen from the government institute, and Zhang Xu from the military institute. If he wanted to get such an opportunity, he needed to find someone to vouch for him. And now, Zhou Chen was his only choice.

  At this moment, Zhou Chen, who was enraged, was like a male fighting cock, full of aggression from head to toe. Looking at Nie Zhenbang, Zhou Chen angrily said: "Don't choose the time, it's today. People's Park. 8 o'clock in the evening, whoever doesn't come is a bastard. Whoever kneels down and kowtows to admit their mistake. Do you dare?"

  "Alright, 8 o'clock tonight, don't be late." Nie Zhenbang nodded lightly in response.

  As soon as Zhou Chenyi left, Yang Anbang came over: "Nice to meet you, I'm Yang Anbang from dormitory number one."

  Looking at Yang Anbang, Nie Zhenbang's face revealed a hint of a smile. He had been waiting for this guy. In his previous life, this kid had given up on the development of both the military and political worlds, but instead chose to go into business. At that time, it made his old man extremely angry. However, later on, this kid started from scratch in the southern island, ventured into various industries, and under his management, Shengtian Group became one of the world's top 500 enterprises after twenty-four years. He was a born businessman.

  Nie Zhenbang is doing this now, one is to gather some connections for his own future career, and the other is also because of Yang Anbang. This person is a very crucial part of his plan. Yang Anbang also has another identity, that is, he is Yang Anna's second brother.

  "Yanbei, Nie Zhenbang." This was Nie Zhenbang's reply. Very proud. Very confident. But not allowing others to look down on him.

  In fact, everyone knows that Old Master Nie did not acknowledge the existence of Nie Zhenbang. Bringing him back home was just a helpless move. There was no ceremony to recognize his ancestry. Nie Zhenbang is not qualified to enter the family tree. This is reality.

  If it were an ordinary person, they would basically say that Nie Zhenbang is the one from the Nie family. However, Nie Zhenbang's words represent his own meaning. The Nie family does not acknowledge him, and he also does not acknowledge the Nie family. Until the day when the Nie family officially acknowledges him, he will only then acknowledge himself as a member of the Nie family.

  Yang Anbang's face showed no sign of disdain. After a very formal handshake, he said: "Zhen Bang, Zhou Chen is a notorious sly one. Be careful with tonight's matter."

  Nie Zhenbang burst out laughing, as a reborn person. Zhou Chen's personality, Nie Zhenbang understood extremely well. However, since he dared to go, he wasn't afraid of Zhou Chen. But Yang Anbang's feelings were rare, and he immediately became serious and said: "Second brother, thanks. After today, younger brother will treat you to a drink."

  Eight o'clock in the evening

  The People's Park was already deserted. Deep in the garden, amidst a cluster of trees, the dim streetlights shone through the branches, casting scattered rays on the ground.

  Nie Zhenbang was surrounded by Nie Jiamin, Liu Kun, Li Hua, and Li Wenge, plus five or six children of the Military Commission's courtyard. Opposite them, Zhou Chen led his own men, with a giant over 1.8 meters tall standing beside him.

  When Nie Zhenbang arrived, Zhou Chen's face flashed with a fierce expression. He said in a low voice: "Nie Zhenbang, you're not afraid of death. Today, my brother and you will have a one-on-one fight. If you win, this matter will be settled like this, and from now on, we'll mind our own business. If you lose, kneel down and kowtow to me three times."

  As soon as the words fell, Nie Jiamin shouted: "Zhou Chen, you are so good at calculating. According to what you said, you have taken advantage of everything cheaply. Let's change it. You lose, give Lao San three loud knocks on the head, and if you win, we won't interfere with each other. Do you agree?"

  One sentence left Zhou Chen speechless. Really didn't know how to respond.

  Nie Zhenbang waved his hand and said, "Jiamin, don't say more. Since the words have been spoken, they are like spilled water. Since we agreed to let him decide on the dishes, then let's go with what he says. Zhou Chen, please ask your friend to make a move." After finishing speaking, Nie Zhenbang had already assumed the starting posture of Xingyiquan.

  "Zhou Shao, this guy is a master's son, looks like his foundation is not shallow. This is the famous Li family Xingyiquan from Yanbei. I practice boxing. Afraid... afraid can't win."

  Before the fight, he was already timid. The sturdy Hanzi's words made Zhou Chen's face sink: "Wang Bo, let go and fight, if there's a problem, I'll take responsibility. Whatever you do, don't lose. You know the consequences of losing."

  Zhou Chen's words carried a warning tone, and the sturdy man gritted his teeth and charged towards Nie Zhenbang.
