Chapter 35: The Showdown

Upon the Centipede's denial, Su Mei calmly remarked:

"Very well, if you claim he's not here, then I shall wait right here until he arrives."

Turning to one of her security personnel behind her, Su Mei issued a command:

"Clear the area. We will wait here for the individual we seek today."

With a single utterance of "clear the area," Ba Ge's countenance underwent a dramatic shift.

This timing coincided with the peak hours at the arcade.

The loss in revenue was one concern.

Yet more significantly, the reputation of the arcade would suffer a substantial blow.

"Su Mei, you are straying from propriety!" Ba Ge's narrow eyes gleamed with a cold light.

One could sense the fury building within him.

Undeterred, Su Mei coldly retorted with a smirk, gazing at Ba Ge:

"It is you who first disregarded propriety!"

Ba Ge squinted, fixating his gaze on Su Mei.

The effort to contain his rising anger was palpable.
