A Colossal Background

"Getting recommended for Nightstar and actually passing the Nightstar assessment are two totally different things."

Night Cold crossed his arms, his voice calm: "If he was recommended to join Nightstar, it means he agreed to Yuan Zutai's terms."

Originally, with just Mia Liao and Tyler Tai, there was no way they could get Nightstar involved.

"Yet I've never seen him in Nightstar, nor heard any news about this person. That alone proves he failed the Nightstar entrance trial."

"His strength only exists outside Nightstar. He simply isn't strong enough to meet Nightstar's minimum threshold. That's the truth."

"Now tell me, am I qualified to say this?"

Night Cold smiled, his smile brimmed with self-confidence and arrogance.

He spoke only a few words.

The entire crowd erupted in astonishment.

"They really are from Nightstar!" someone shouted in shock.

"I knew it! That guy Night Edge—when he fought Martin Wu and Kyle Liu, he made it look so easy. Sure enough, they're insanely strong! Turns out they're from Nightstar!" another person cried out, practically shaking with excitement.

"Never thought I'd get to see Nightstar in action today! Damn, this trip was worth it!"

The crowd was buzzing, faces full of excitement, everyone talking at once.

Some of the women were really shining, throwing glances and winks at Night Cold and Night Edge, doing their best to catch their attention.

Mia Liao was already grinning, Tyler Tai was waiting for drama, and Kyle Liu looked like he wished Night Cold would just drag Evan Lin out and beat him right now.

Grace Liu heard this, her mouth slightly open, face going pale—she was scared out of her wits.

Frank Bi, Calvin Zheng, Wanwan Sun and the others all shuddered, and when they looked at the people up front, their eyes were now full of undisguised worry.

Selina Wu gripped Evan Lin's wrist even harder.

Her face grew even uglier, clearly worried for Evan Lin's safety. (Selina Wu)

Nightstar is nothing like the others—it's way scarier than even the Tiger Special Forces.

No one here could have guessed that Nightstar operatives would show up at this place.

This was totally unexpected.

Originally, with just Mia Liu and Tyler Tai, there was no way they could get Nightstar involved.

"Damn, didn't expect to hit an iron wall after all."

Wu Zhanjun cursed, clenching his fists, but now he had no intention of charging forward anymore.

"Shit."

But Martin Wu and Frank Bi's group all looked united, each one raising their eyes toward the front.

"Count me in," Frank Bi said calmly.

"I'll join the fun, too. Nothing special—just know how to make deals, make money, and make others lose money," Calvin Zheng grinned.

Wanwan Sun didn't say anything, but had already stepped to Selina Wu's side.

They'd been holding back their aura before, but now they were a lot more overbearing, standing there and seeming even taller.

As a result, Allen Ju's group suddenly looked less confident.

Lena Xu raised her eyebrows, watching Evan Lin.

The anger hadn't faded from her eyes.

Mia Liu was already grinning, Tyler Tai was waiting for drama, and Kunyu Liu looked like he wished Night Cold would just drag Evan Lin out and beat him right now.

Sylvia Xia watched Evan Lin in silence, actually feeling a bit of sympathy and pity.

To everyone else, Evan Lin standing there looked calm as ever, but that calm was probably just an act.

He seemed quiet on the outside, but inside he was probably panicking.

After all, who wouldn't panic in front of two Nightstar members?

"This ends here today."

Allen Ju stepped forward, finally speaking up after a long silence, shielding Evan Lin behind him. He looked at Night Cold and said in a deep voice: "No matter who was right or wrong, the fact is you Nightstar guys hurt my friend. This ends here."

"So, this ends here."

Standing before Night Cold, Allen Ju could feel the overwhelming pressure coming from the man in front of him.

But as Third Young Master Ju, Allen didn't back down even half a step—he stared right into Night Cold's eyes, matching him in aura.

A lot of people secretly clicked their tongues at this scene, having to admit Allen Ju had guts.

Anyone could see Allen Ju was standing up for Evan Lin now.

Mia Liao saw Allen Ju step up and immediately got annoyed, shouting, "Don't stick your neck out for strangers! Aren't you afraid he'll dig a pit and bury you?"

Making Nightstar members break their own hands and feet? That's some serious attitude.

"Xing'an, stay out of this. Step aside."

Mia Liu saw Allen Ju step up and immediately got annoyed, shouting, "Don't stick your neck out for strangers! Aren't you afraid he'll dig a pit and bury you?"
