Chapter 533: Silver Fox’s Confession

The news of Happy defeating Song Qingshu spread quickly, but in the Hero Villa, where heroes from all over gathered, nothing was more shocking than the news of Silver Fox fighting against the “One Emperor”!
Unfolding the note and glancing at its contents, Happy’s joy at completing Song Qingshu’s mission vanished, and his expression grew increasingly serious.
Silver Fox’s message was very brief! He said he had just fought against the “One Emperor” and lost by the fourth strike. It seemed the “One Emperor” intended to fight him again. Silver Fox said he now had a REP, the most detailed first-hand information about the “One Emperor,” and asked him to log off immediately to receive it.
“Even Silver Fox couldn’t withstand the fourth strike,” Happy said solemnly, staring at the words on the note, his emotions turbulent and hard to calm.
With his “Red Flame Palm” having reached master level, Silver Fox was comparable to ordinary supreme skills. He also possessed four sets of golden equipment and four pairs of golden gloves. He could be said to be the second-strongest person in the Mu family, even not far behind Happy…
The fact that even Silver Fox had lost so easily had a significant impact on Happy, arousing further caution regarding the strength of the “One Emperor”.
“Hero Song,” Happy regained his composure as he folded the note and turned to Song Yuanqiao. “Since Young Master Song has agreed to return to Wudang, I have fulfilled one of Master Zhang’s wishes. I would appreciate it if you could convey my regards to Master Zhang on my behalf. I must leave now due to some matters.”
“Thank you, Young Hero Happy!” Song Yuanqiao truly lived up to being the leader of the Seven Swords of Wudang. Despite his son losing to Happy, he remained polite and sincere. No wonder he served as Wudang’s acting leader whenever Zhang Sanfeng went into seclusion—his demeanor was truly extraordinary.
Happy bowed politely before heading to a nearby restaurant, booking a private room and entering it.
In the Hero Villa, the martial arts conference lasted forty-eight hours. During this time, even if players logged off, their characters would remain there, and their progress would not be lost…
Leaving the game, Happy promptly called Silver Fox.
At the first ring, the call was answered by a deep, powerful young voice: “Happy.” Silver Fox had been waiting on the other end.
“I’ve extracted the REP and sent it to your email. However, I think it’s necessary to explain in detail the situation regarding the One Emperor,” Silver Fox said directly, getting straight to the point. Happy didn’t interrupt him, sitting quietly in front of his computer, turning it on as he listened.

“The sword intent of ‘The Emperor’ is indeed formidable, as you said. But the first strike is somewhat similar to your ‘Imperial Shocking Art’—very much alike. It’s no problem to avoid it…”
Kai Xin nodded silently: Since all martial arts share the same roots and their sword techniques have similar principles, it’s not entirely impossible.
“But it gets troublesome starting with the second strike,” the Silver Fox said in a slightly darker tone. “The second strike’s sword light is like a whip—I have no way to avoid it…” He then recounted in detail how he was nearly sliced in half by “The Emperor.”
By then, Kai Xin had already opened his email, found the REP he had just received, and used a playback software available on the official website to watch it.
The fight was brief—first strike, second strike. The crisp sound of the sword emanating from the speakers carried a strange allure. Kai Xin watched the black whip repeatedly, his brows furrowed…
He had seen the first strike in a REP from Snake Island before, and it had already given him a sense of eerie danger. He hadn’t expected the sword intent of the second strike to be so agile, capable of freely changing its attack trajectory.
What followed was even more mysterious.
But it was already difficult to replicate the sword intent displayed by “The Emperor” back then…
After watching the entire REP, Kai Xin remained silent for half a minute.
“How is it?”
The Silver Fox’s slightly anxious question came through. Clearly, he was worried that Kai Xin wouldn’t be able to counter “The Emperor’s” moves.
At present, the Mu Family’s reputation was at its peak, showing signs of surpassing the First-Class Hall, the Heroic Gate, and the Lingxiao Palace to become the top gang in the martial world.
If Kai Xin were defeated by “The Emperor” now, although there would be no direct financial loss, it would cause a severe impact on the Mu Family’s reputation, leading to a decline. It might also make everyone in the martial world fully aware of Kai Xin’s true strength…
Throughout, Kai Xin had been seen by others in the martial world as incredibly powerful and unfathomable. To maintain his current image, the Silver Fox would do anything—even delay progress in the game—to ensure Kai Xin understood better and prepared adequately.
Because!
A battle between “The Emperor” and Kai Xin was now inevitable!
“Wait a moment,” Kai Xin said after pondering for a while. He spoke quickly and decisively, “I can’t capture the atmosphere from the computer screen, nor can I fully analyze ‘The Emperor’s’ strength and the essence of his sword intent. Here’s what to do! I’ll make a call and upload your REP to a paid channel.”

“A paid channel?” Silver Fox was stunned. An enthusiastic and decisive reply came quickly: “Yes! I want to enter the paid channel to thoroughly study ‘The Emperor’s’ sword intent, get familiar with it and his weaknesses. Maybe I can find a way to counter him.”
“What do I need to do?” Although Silver Fox had experienced paid channels only a few times, he quickly understood that Happy wanted to use his first-person perspective to fully experience ‘The Emperor’s’ sword intent and strength at that time. This indeed was an effective way to understand someone better.
Silver Fox secretly admired Happy’s quick thinking for coming up with such a method to understand The Emperor!
“Wait for my call. Get ready to pay.”
Happy originally wanted Silver Fox to provide some REP to settle things, but then remembering that Silver Fox had almost left Jianghu for five million, he changed his tone: “Fighting against ‘The Emperor’ may end in defeat, but it’s still honorable. There will surely be many experts in Jianghu willing to pay to watch it. It might even be more popular than my fight at Reed Marsh!” After a pause, Happy joked, “But I’m worried now that once you become rich, with a net worth of hundreds of millions, you might just give me five million and stop working for me.”
“…”
There was silence for a few seconds before the voice came again: “What I promise, Silver Fox, I’ll never break. These five years, I’ve worked for you… even if my net worth reaches one or ten billion. But if I really reach that level, it’ll be thanks to you. I, Silver Fox, won’t forget. By then, I might even bring a few of my brothers to protect you.”
“Bring them here? What do you mean?”
Happy was taken aback.
Silver Fox pondered for a moment before saying in a strangely relaxed tone, “Haven’t I told you? Oh, I forgot to mention it…”
“Well, about four months ago, I rented the house next to yours and installed a complete set of security surveillance equipment for you.”
Happy was utterly surprised.
“After all, you’re my boss. I always use this standard when working for others, so don’t worry,” Silver Fox said in a very casual tone.
