Lin Huai pondered for a moment and smiled. "Uncle Hou, I think you're here to trick me."
"No, I am not. I just want to ask, does our cooperation still count?"
Lin Huai shook his head and said, "I didn't agree to that."
Even though Hou Yangsheng had a good temper, his face still darkened. He asked, "Do you really think that you will win? What's more, even if you win, how big of a piece of cake can you get? In terms of seniority, you can't compare with Liang Huaian. In addition, though The General had sent people to help you this time, I'm afraid that he has another plan, which is to reorganize Tongcheng's forces after he completely takes down Tongcheng. If you are lucky, you and Liang Huaian will each occupy half of the city, but if you are unlucky, it is hard to guarantee that The General will not support a third force to compete with the two of you. Do you think that's better than occupying Tongcheng's underworld for yourself?"
Hou Yangsheng frowned and said, "Father, you've already expected all of this to happen, right?""Of course." Hou Junji smiled and said, "If Chengnan District is lost, we will all be finished because Chengdong District will definitely surrender. Li Aobing is still alive. He was my trusted subordinate years ago, and I let him occupy Chengdong District after I disbanded my forces. Unfortunately, he is old and has stepped down. Now, Chengdong District has been handed over to his son Li Shuangren. I didn't expect that Li Shuangren would be a person who swayed both sides at the critical moment."Hou Yangsheng asked, "Then what should we do now? Should we hurry to save Chengnan District?""No. At such a critical moment, we can only sacrifice one district and fight for the other things." Mr. Hou smiled."Sacrifice Yang Chunlei?" Hou Yangsheng was terrified. After all, Yang Chunlei was the most loyal to his father. Back when Zhang Sh
Lin Huai grabbed Hou Liang's wrist, and the wine glass in Hou Liang's hand was thrown to the ground. It shattered with a crash.After that, Hou Liang's face became even paler as beads of sweat rolled down his face. He actually lost. He had planned everything carefully but still failed.Lin Huai's face darkened as he stared at Hou Liang. His gaze was extremely fierce. Finally, he sighed. "In the end, you made the first move.""Of course." Hou Liang said, "Because you're going to kill our Hou Family."Hou Liang's eyes dulled as he sighed and said, "We could have become very good friends. I've even considered following you and conquering the world with Dragon Faction, but you didn't cherish it."Lin Huai said, "I am very sorry. After all, we each belong to different sides.""You obviously have a choice, but you didn't choose!" Hou Liang roared, "I don't have a choice, so this is the only thing I can do
Hou Liang took two deep breaths and smiled bitterly. "You guys have been scheming against our Hou Family. The Wei Family has also been enduring silently... But that's normal. If it were me, I would want to take revenge too. Having things end this way is good too. This way, I won't feel any more guilt toward Teacher Yulan."Then, Lin Huai glanced at Hou Liang and asked, "Have you been feeling guilty all these years?""How can I not?" Hou Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher Yulan treated us, her students, very well back then. Many teachers in school did not care much about us, but she cared for us like a parent. She cared about us very much and kept saying she did not want to give us up. Also, she has never accepted any bribery nor given a rich second generation like me special treatment. To be honest, I always have respected teachers like Zhao Yulan.""But in the end, you still killed her.""I didn't do it on purpose." H
There were three to four hundred people outside. The leader was two of Li Shuangren's red canes in the Observable Energy Stage. When Lin Huai rushed over, not only were the two red canes not afraid of him, but their eyes also even lit up. They shouted, "Kill him, kill him quickly! Kill him, and we will make a great contribution. Whoever kills him will be rewarded with one million!"One million was nothing to a gang leader like Lin Huai. However, to these ordinary underlings, it was an astronomical figure. Therefore, these people immediately rushed at him like a tide with all their weapons aimed at Lin Huai.Lin Huai's strength had already reached the middle of the Unobservable Energy Stage. His speed, strength, and techniques were more than one level higher than when he was in the Observable Energy Stage. Whenever he attacked someone, he didn't need much strength to injure them. He could unleash thirty percent of his power with just ten percent of hi
Piao Chengji whispered, "Brother Huai, a real man knows to assess the situation and act accordingly. This is our territory, and we can win through numbers. Right now, our people are rushing over from all directions. We can't fight them one-on-one because it's too disadvantageous!"Then, Lin Huai shook his head and said, "I agree to a one-on-one fight."Surprise, regret, disappointment, and pain filled Piao Chengji's eyes as he shook his head and sighed, "Faction head, you are our faction head.""I know. I can't retreat because I am your faction head. I need to become stronger. If I hide behind my underlings this time, what will happen the next time?"Piao Chengji clenched his fists and revealed a complicated expression. He still wanted to persuade Lin Huai but did not know how.Lin Huai stepped out, looked at Ximen Wuming, and said, "Mr. Ximen, you are the strongest opponent I have ever met."Ximen
Dao Zi silently sneaked into the room. When Hong Bao and the other two discovered him, he had already charged in front of them.After noticing the intruder, Hong Bao was both shocked and angry. He swung his palm at Dao Zi, but Dao Zi nimbly dodged the attack and slashed his dagger at Yang Shu.Yang Shu was an expert under Hong Bao, and his strength was close to the Observable Energy Stage. He quickly took a step back and thought he could perfectly dodge the attack. Unexpectedly, a light flashed in front of his eyes as he felt a pain in his throat."How was that possible?" Thought Yang Shu while shock and disbelief filled his face as he knew he had dodged it just now. However, this was Dao Zi's current strength. After he improved his skills with the dagger, his killing technique became even more challenging to guard against. Even experts of the same level as him would find it difficult to defend his attack, not to mention the fact that hi
Hou Yangsheng was stunned for a moment. Then, he seemed to understand something. His body trembled slightly, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Father, you mean... Liang went to kill Lin Huai?""Yes." Mr. Hou's voice sounded a little gloomy.Hou Yangsheng gulped nervously. "You asked him to do that?""Yes.""Why?" Hou Yangsheng's face began to twitch. He did not dare to imagine what would happen. That was his only son, the only descendant the Hou Family had, and Mr. Hou's biological grandson. How could a grandfather let his grandson take such a huge risk?Mr. Hou asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by why?"Hou Yangsheng roared, "That's your biological grandson. Your biological grandson! Why? Why did you let him take such a risk? Aren't you afraid that he will die in Chengbei District and not be able to come back alive?"As Hou Yangsheng roared in anger, his body and voice were tr
"Are you going to commit patricide?" Mr. Hou was a little flustered and exasperated. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling. For all his lifetime, he had been respected by others and he enjoyed that feeling. Moreover, he could not accept the feeling of being admired and revered by others being destroyed. This was also the reason why he would make a gamble on the last part of his life by disregarding the Hou Family's future. This gamble had cost him his grandson.From this incident, it was evident how much Mr. Hou cared about his legend and how much he desired to be admired by others. However, his own son was now opposing him, and he actually wanted to kill him. This was the greatest blow to Mr. Hou. The matter he could not stand the most was not life and death but losing the respect others had for him.Hou Yangsheng walked toward Mr. Hou and pulled out a dagger from his clothing.Mr. Hou looked into Hou Yangsheng's eyes and a
