Chapter 882: Is There Anything Else You Want to Tell Me?

Wang Yun declined Baren’s invitation to go downstairs for dinner. Instead, he invited Baren into the room.

“Mr. Baren, is there anything else you wanted to say?”

He could tell Baren was holding something back.

Baren did not stand on ceremony. He turned and instructed the bodyguards behind him to notify the kitchen to prepare food and send it up to the room.

After giving the order, Baren followed Wang Yun inside.

The two of them sat down on the sofa, host and guest facing one another.

Wang Yun handed Baren a bottle of water.

Baren waved his hand quickly.

“Brother Wang Yun, I came up mainly to tell you this about the arena. You don’t need to trouble yourself over it anymore.”

Wang Yun still passed him the water, then sat down on the other side.

He looked at Baren quietly.

As Baren looked at the young man before him, who was clearly not very old yet, but carried an even stronger presence than he himself did, genuine admiration rose in his heart.

“Brother Wang Yun, the people managing that place refused no matter what at first. They absolutely would not agree to remove it.”

Wang Yun did not interrupt. He merely watched Baren with quiet interest, waiting for him to continue.

Baren opened the bottle, took a sip, and went on.

“Later, I gave them my word that as long as they removed the cage, I would guarantee that our side would defeat Achir. After that, they drew up an agreement with me, and only then did they agree.”

Wang Yun was genuinely surprised.

He had expected Baren to have paid some price to make the people in that hellhole agree to remove the cage.

What he had not expected was that Baren had practically put himself on the line.

At that moment, the way Wang Yun looked at him changed. No longer as someone unrelated to him, but more like a friend he actually thought well of.

If Baren was willing to risk his entire fortune because of a single sentence from him, then Wang Yun naturally would not let him down.

Wang Yun silently made that promise to himself.

After that, Baren said a few more words expressing concern for Wang Yun.

This time, Wang Yun did not respond with his usual cool detachment. Instead, he chatted with him casually, like one would with a friend.

Baren, a man experienced in dealing with people, naturally noticed the change in Wang Yun’s attitude.

He knew that Wang Yun was beginning to accept him.

Before long, dinner was delivered.

After the server arranged the food, Baren took his leave. He had noticed that the other brother did not seem to be in a position to meet people, so he declined Wang Yun’s attempt to keep him a little longer and tactfully left.

The moment Baren closed the door behind him, the door to Big Mouth’s room was flung open with force.

Then Wang Yun saw what was practically a meatball hurl itself onto the table.

It was the first time he had realized Big Mouth could run that fast.

That speed was practically on par with a sprint champion.

Wang Yun could not help thinking so.

He watched as Big Mouth devoured the food like a whirlwind, stuffing everything into his mouth at top speed.

Then he sat down as well and began eating dinner.

Big Mouth was eating quickly, but he deliberately left a little of each dish untouched. He had always been the sort of person who looked rough and careless on the surface, but was actually very attentive.

By the time the two of them had finished, there was hardly anything left on the table.

Big Mouth patted his rounded little belly in satisfaction and slumped back onto the sofa.

“Boss, I’ll wait for you to come back tomorrow.”

Wang Yun nodded.

“Alright. When I get back, I’ll take you out to eat something good.”

There was more than one meaning in what Wang Yun said.

Once he won tomorrow’s match, both Big Mouth and Colin would regain their freedom.

Though Colin would probably have to go in and cooperate with the investigation for a while. But that had nothing to do with him.

All Wang Yun had to do was get the man out of Baren’s hands.

Big Mouth, meanwhile, would be “detoxed.”

At that moment, Wang Yun’s livestream was filled with lovestruck squealing.

“Ahhh!! Big Brother is too domineering!!”

“Mom, I’m in love. Who could resist a bossy CEO type like Big Brother?”

“That line about taking him out for good food completely killed me!!”

“If I were Big Mouth, I’d have already thrown myself at him!!”

“The person above, restrain yourself! Big Brother belongs to everyone!!!”

“I want Big Brother to take me out for good food too!!”

“Same, I’d even pay for myself!”

A whole crowd of lovestruck viewers kept chattering about Wang Yun.

As for Wang Yun, after saying a few words to Big Mouth, he went to shower and sleep. He wanted to rest early and make full preparations for tomorrow’s match.

***

Early the next morning, Colin was already pacing outside the door to Wang Yun’s room.

He had barely slept at all the night before. Every time he dozed off for a little while, he woke up again. He had even set four alarms, afraid he might not get up in time. In the end, not one alarm had a chance to ring before he had already jumped out of bed, washed up in a hurry, and come here.

After that, he had simply been pacing back and forth.

Several times he raised his hand to knock, only to lower it again.

It was not until Wang Yun woke up, washed up, and got ready to go downstairs for breakfast that he opened the door and immediately saw Colin standing there with his hand half-raised.

Wasn’t that almost exactly the same pose Big Mouth had yesterday?

Colin scratched his head awkwardly.

“Well, I… I just… just wanted to ask if you… you wanted to go downstairs for breakfast.”

It was a very simple sentence, yet Colin managed to stumble all the way through it.

Wang Yun could see how nervous he was, so he took the initiative and called to him,

“Come on. Let’s go downstairs and have breakfast together.”
