Feng Taibao walked into Haiqing Pool with his jade cigarette holder in mouth, all smiles. The hall was extremely messy, and one could easily tell that something had happened here.

Feng Taibao asked curiously, "This...

"Lord Protector, the brothers just relaxed here for a bit," Long Wu said hurriedly, bending over with a smile.

"I see," Feng Taibao nodded and said, "Relaxing a bit isn't bad at all."

With that, Feng Taibao headed upstairs, took a round, and seemed very satisfied with the environment and layout of the place. He grinned and said, "Not bad, not bad, Haiqing Pool has finally fallen into our hands."

"Indeed," Long Wu nodded vigorously and said, "Lord Protector, Lin Chuan is nothing. Still dares to act arrogant in front of us. Even ten Lin Chuans wouldn't be able to withstand us."

Feng Taibao was very pleased.

Just as Feng Taibao was about to go downstairs, at this moment, a junior brother hurriedly ran over from downstairs.

"Lord Protector, it's bad, Lin Chuan's people are here," the junior brother said anxiously.

"Damn, he dares to come!" Long Wu shouted, then turned and said, "Lord Protector, rest upstairs for a moment, let me go meet this Lin Chuan. Damn it, we have so many brothers here today, are we still afraid of their nonsense?"

After saying that, Long Wu strode quickly and sprinted downstairs.

Outside Haiqing Pool.

A license-less Jeep led the way, followed by two Jinbei vans, and lastly a light truck, which had more than twenty people packed in its cargo box. Lin Chuan jumped down from the Jeep, and Zhou Kai and others also got out of the vehicles. Each of the two Jinbei vans was crammed with more than ten people, adding up to more than fifty people who disembarked from these few vehicles.

Lin Chuan was dressed in jeans and a white shirt.

Lin Chuan had a sullen expression, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Behind Lin Chuan was Zhao Zhonghai. Zhao Zhonghai, dressed in a gray cotton-linen suit, toyed with an iron pipe in his hand. He looked down on the people standing atop Haiqing Pool with a scornful expression, as if these people were nothing to worry about for someone like him from the special forces.

Zhou Kai stood to the left of Lin Chuan, inhaling deeply through his nose. He had just been driven out of his own territory, and now, he had returned; foes meeting, naturally, the hostility was extraordinary. Zhou Kai looked at the people of Thirteen Grand Protectors with grinding teeth. His teeth itched with rage, and he could hardly wait to rush forward with his two axes in hand. Lu Dapao and others were playing with broadswords and fireman's axes, the group coldly staring at the junior members of Thirteen Grand Protectors. Both sides confronted each other, and the scene was surprisingly silent, without any cursing or shouting.

Long Wu quickly ran out from inside Haiqing Pool, seeing that Lin Chuan and his men had already set up their formation.

"Lin Chuan, you dare to come?" Long Wu sneered, "Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"My territory, why wouldn't I dare to come?" Lin Chuan looked at Long Wu disdainfully and said, "But you, standing on my territory with so many people, aren't you afraid of dying?"

"Listen well, kid," Long Wu scoffed and then said, "From today onwards, Haiqing Pool is our territory, and moreover, that transportation market will also be mine, Long Wu's, from now on. What you stole from me in the past is rightfully returned."

"Is that so?" Lin Chuan smiled coldly and said, "That's something you saying to me won't help, ask my knife if it agrees."

"You!" Long Wu gritted his teeth.

"What? You can't accept it?" Lin Chuan laughed.

"Good, good, very good," Long Wu nodded and said, "It seems that another battle is inevitable then."

"Call Feng Taibao out here," Lin Chuan looked at Long Wu and said, "You're not qualified to fight me!"

"Damn, getting cocky just because I'm giving you face, huh?" Long Wu sneered coldly, his bald head glinting under the flickering neon lights of Haiqing Pool. He wielded a sharp machete in his hand and angrily said, "Lin Chuan, you think you're invincible just because you're good at martial arts, huh? Brothers, charge!"

Lin Chuan had a sinister smile on his face as he stood at the entrance of Haiqing Pool.

In the past, he had never thought about competing or seizing. But today, he understood the saying: 'In the world of the Jianghu, one cannot control one's own destiny.'

Even if you do not compete or seize, others will come to compete with you, take from you. If you do not compete, if you do not seize, you will be trampled on, even stomped on. Previously, Lin Chuan just wanted to lead his brothers to escape poverty and become wealthy, just wishing they had enough money to enjoy themselves and the ability to protect themselves.

However, today Lin Chuan realized that even so, it was not enough. How can one sleep peacefully with tigers nearby?

Perhaps, today's battle is just the first of many in his future life.

Just as the opponent was about to rush over, a voice suddenly rang out: "Wait!"

"Protector!" Long Wu quickly shouted, "Do you have any other orders?"

Inside Haiqing Pool, the figure of Feng Taibao appeared inside the gate. He was wrapped in a black leather jacket, holding his jade smoking pipe in his hand, his face expressionless. His gaze pierced through the dense crowd and fixed directly on Lin Chuan.

Now, the two of them were on the thin line between life and death.

Feng Taibao coldly looked at Lin Chuan, his eyes revealing a trace of disdain. Lin Chuan, however, handled it indifferently. In his view, Feng Taibao was nothing but a cat in the eastern district, even just a paper tiger.

Feng Taibao's lips curled into a mocking smile. He slowly put the smoking pipe to his mouth, then took a deep drag. Apparently, everything was as he had anticipated.

"Lin Chuan, I've heard you are quite the fighter?" Feng Taibao looked at Lin Chuan with a smile.

"What? You want to challenge me one-on-one?" Lin Chuan sneered.

"Haha..." Feng Taibao laughed loudly: "You are not yet worthy of my personal effort."

"So what do you want?" Lin Chuan sneered.

"I've heard you're quite the fighter," Feng Taibao smiled. "I'm giving you a chance today. I wonder if you would cherish it?"

"Let's hear it." Lin Chuan grinned, "I'm quite eager to see what kind of opportunity Protector is giving me. Should I be overwhelmed with honor?"

"Hahaha..." Feng Taibao laughed even more proudly, as he was now the real king here. For he had control over everything in Haiqing Pool. Thus, Feng Taibao believed he was now unstoppable. He said, "I heard last time you beat a few tough martial masters. I wasn't there to witness it. Today, if you can defeat the few hundred brothers I have here, I will concede to you."

"What's the bet?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Hahaha..." Feng Taibao laughed proudly and said, "If you can defeat these few hundred brothers of mine, I, Feng Taibao, will leave Jiangbei City without a word and never set foot in Jiangbei City again."

Sss...

The crowd gasped in surprise. Feng Taibao was actually making such a promise? However, thinking it over, a group of people suddenly felt that it was impossible for Lin Chuan to win against the few hundred here.

"Brother Chuan, don't agree to it," Zhou Kai shouted.

"Yes, don't agree," the crowd quickly yelled.

Lin Chuan's lips slightly curled up into a sinister smile, saying, "Alright, those are your words."

"A promise is worth a thousand horses," Feng Taibao nodded.
