Chapter 210: Chapter 210 Brother Long Takes a Risk_1

“`

Xu Fan found another secluded room in the gym and began his solitary Cultivation.

His recent experiences had changed his mindset somewhat, especially the information from the Pheasant Combo and Mo Luo Dan that had alerted Xu Fan to the countless dangers present even on this planet depleted of Spiritual Energy.

If it were just himself, relying on the numerous secret techniques he had mastered in the Cultivation World, he could face any enemy without fear.

But now, Xu Fan had an angelic daughter to protect. Protecting someone was far more difficult than eliminating an enemy. Having arrived in this world only a few days ago, Xu Fan had already ruffled the feathers of the top forces of this world, including the Assassin Alliance.

As he would inevitably clash with more Martial Artists in the future, the number of enemies he would draw would only increase. Only by rapidly enhancing his own strength could he truly protect those he cared for and deter any enemies from harboring even the slightest notion of resistance.

Xu Fan sat in the gym, losing himself in Cultivation.

About two hours later, Xu Fan, who was immersed in Cultivation, was suddenly startled awake by a flurry of panicky arguing outside.

Outside the gym, a large group of imposing men had arrived. Many had tattoos showing on their bodies and clearly were not the sort to be trifled with. There were about forty or fifty of them, divided into two groups.

One group consisted of Hu Family members adorned with fox accessories, numbering in the teens, while the other sported gold chains. Many of these people were also wrapped in bandages, including the leader, whose arm was in a cast.

However, his expression was fierce, and beside him stood a frail-looking middle-aged man, sporting a scholar’s distinctive sinister smile.

“Boss Hu, I heard you wanted to retire from the underworld life, so why didn’t you send an invitation to Night Castle? Let me, Ah Long, join you for a drink to send you off,” said the man with his arm in a sling, chuckling at the Hu Family members.

At this moment, Hu Hai also walked up to Xu Fan, who had planted a deadly Spiritual Energy bomb of the Double Extreme of Ice and Fire on him. He dared not act rashly, and upon returning, he had taken out a pile of the Hu Family’s assets. With the exception of the non-transferable ones, all the rest had already been prepared with transfer documents. Just a signature from Zhao Dong, and these assets would be handed over to him.

Little did he expect to run into the treacherous Brother Long, who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out both the new and old bosses of the south of the city in one fell swoop, then seize the opportunity to take over the territory.

What Brother Long couldn’t have dreamed of was that the person who made Hu Hai step down for someone more capable was none other than Xu Fan himself, who in the zoo had single-handedly taken down thirteen of his brothers in an instant.

“Zhao Dong, come over and greet Brother Long of Night Castle. He knows you are about to become the boss of the south of the city and has specially come to congratulate you,” Xu Fan waved at Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong was also a man of meticulous thoughts. Seeing the thirty-something men in black behind Brother Long, he understood Brother Long’s intentions. However, seeing the men from Night Castle acting so humbly in front of Xu Fan, Zhao Dong lazily walked over and said with a smile to Brother Long, “It’s a surprise that Brother Long, a busy man, would come all the way here to congratulate me. In the future, the south of the city will still need Brother Long’s care.”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. We’re all scrapping a living in Zhonghai, and we must maintain a good relationship. By the way, do you know Boss Xu?” Brother Long asked Zhao Dong, a bit surprised.

“He’s my subordinate!” Xu Fan answered indifferently.

“My apologies! Turns out he’s one of Boss Xu’s men. The south of the city is in good hands!” Brother Long revealed a trace of astonishment in his eyes, then laughed heartily at Zhao Dong.

“You said you came to congratulate the new boss of the south, but I wonder what congratulatory gift you brought? Surely you didn’t come empty-handed, planning to congratulate with just words?” Xu Fan’s gaze swept over Brother Long sharply as he spoke coldly.

“A congratulatory gift... ah, about that... I came in a hurry... on such short notice... I really didn’t bring anything...” Brother Long stammered. He was here to grab territory, not to bring gifts; his pockets were filled with knives and steel pipes, not presents.

“How about this, since you didn’t bring anything, you might as well buy something here in Yulou Ancient Town to give to Zhao Dong. It can also serve as a souvenir of your visit to Yulou Ancient Town,” Xu Fan suggested to Brother Long indifferently.

“Haha, no problem, that’s only right. Whatever item Zhao Dong fancies, I’ll foot the bill!” Brother Long patted his chest, speaking boldly to Xu Fan.

“Good! There’s an auction tonight at the Yu Lou Hotel. Don’t forget to pay for whatever Zhao Dong bids for, Brother Long!” Xu Fan said with a slight smile to Zhao Dong.

“An auction?” Brother Long’s face instantly turned pale.
