Before Shen Hao could even speak.
Just then, the yellow-haired guy next to him, seemingly eager to show off in front of Pao Ge, quickly chimed in.
"Pao Ge, he's definitely full of shit. He was just shooting the breeze with these two chicks at that barbecue stall earlier, talking about casually doing deals worth tens of billions, even hundreds of billions—and in US dollars! Even robbing banks isn't that profitable, right?!"
"And another thing, if he were really the young master of the Shen family, would he be discussing such huge business deals at some dumpy place while eating skewers and drinking beer? If he were really that awesome and could make money like that, even Bill Gates would probably be offering him a cigarette!"
"He's just a scammer and a poser looking for free meals! Hell, maybe even this car he's driving is rented to put on a show!"
The yellow-haired guy's words instantly dispelled all of Pao Ge's doubts.
Right! A truly top-tier rich second-generation heir would be discussing multi-billion-dollar projects in private clubs or luxury hotels, not at a night market!
And to have it overheard by a few of his own low-level thugs?
That was a massive insult to the upper echelons!
Besides, even the Shen Group probably doesn't make tens of billions a year, let alone in US dollars.
This kid's composure must be an act!
Those two girls probably are too!
Thinking that he, a society boss, had almost been intimidated by them, a wave of shame washed over Pao Ge.
"Fuck! Damn it! I almost really got fooled by a bullshitting loser like you!"
"Where's the stuff?! Hand it over to me! If you don't, don't blame me for being rude!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the thugs behind Pao Ge, wielding steel pipes and machetes, pressed forward.
"You hear that, kid? Pao Ge is asking you a question!"
"If you don't want to die, hand over the stuff now, and have these two girls have a drink with us brothers. Maybe then we'll break fewer of your bones!"
"From now on, no one's allowed to bullshit around here. In Great South City, no one is allowed to be a bigger bullshitter than our Pao Ge!"
"???"
"........."
Shen Hao remained unmoved. "And what if I don't? You really dare to lay a hand on me?"
Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually getting anxious inside.
After all, Gu Yebai still hadn't shown up with people, so he had no confidence!
Shen Hao's attitude completely enraged Pao Ge. This guy had no patience left either, and with a wave of his hand, he barked,
"Damn it! You're refusing a face-saving offer!"
"Fuck him up for me! Chop his hands off first! Let's see if he hands over the stuff then!"
The thugs at the front, hearing Pao Ge's order, immediately raised their weapons, ready to strike at Shen Hao and the others.
Seeing the thugs suddenly charge, Zhu Silin and Bai Shisui's faces also lost their composure; they were genuinely frightened by this gang.
They hadn't expected the other side to actually dare to start a fight.
Without a second thought, Shen Hao immediately shielded the two women. His adrenaline was also surging, and only one thought remained in his mind: Gu Yebai! Where the hell are you?!
At this critical moment.
A loud car horn suddenly blared from behind Pao Ge and his men.
Everyone's actions froze, and they all turned to look in unison.
On the road not far away, two incredibly thick, blindingly bright beams of light brutally tore through the darkness, illuminating the entire factory area as bright as day.
The light was so intense that all the thugs instinctively squinted and raised their hands to shield their eyes!
Immediately after, a massive black Cadillac Escalade Presidential limousine, resembling a moving fortress, charged forward at an almost savage speed!
Behind it, a second, a third, a fourth vehicle... a seemingly endless stream of cars!
There were sedans and luxury coaches as well.
"SCREECH!"
"SCREECH!"
The screeching sounds of brakes rang out one after another.
"BANG!"
"BANG!"
"BANG!"
"..."
Car doors kept opening, and countless young men in matching black suits filed out in an orderly stream.
Ten, fifty, one hundred, three hundred, five hundred, eight hundred...
The numbers kept growing, seeming to have no end!
In just a few dozen seconds, Pao Ge and the hundred or so thugs he brought were completely submerged, utterly surrounded by a seemingly boundless sea of black-clad figures.
A massive crowd, packed tightly, leaving no room to move!
The once-arrogant thugs of Great South City were now filled with nothing but terror; some were even trembling on their legs.
Although they were part of the underworld, they had never in their lives seen so many black-clad society men gathered in one place.
It was terrifying!
There had to be at least a thousand people by the look of it, right?
The expression on Pao Ge's face was incredibly vivid, etched with pure fear.
He had kicked a titanium alloy steel plate.
He now wished he could tear the yellow-haired guy to pieces!
If it weren't for that bastard repeatedly lying and tricking him, how could he have ended up in such a desperate situation?
He really wanted to mince that yellow-haired guy into pieces right now!
If it weren't for that dog betraying him, could he have been put in such a passive position?
Also, this scene, this feeling, gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
It felt eerily similar to the time he had taken a fall in Pearl City.
It wasn't until he clearly saw the familiar dragon emblem on the chests of those black-suited youths that his pupils contracted sharply.
No! Not just similar!
It's fucking them!
Just then, a tall figure stepped out first from the crowd.
When Pao Ge saw that face, his mind exploded with a buzz!
It's her! It's really her!
That woman from Pearl City who nearly gave him nightmares for months—Yu Xin!
Why is she here?
Shouldn't she be in Pearl City?
And why has she brought so many members of the Ten Thousand Dragons Society to Great South City? What does she want?!
Yu Xin stopped not far from Pao Ge, looking him up and down with a faint, mocking smile.
"Well, well, look who it is, making such a grand scene."
"If it isn't Brother Pao? What's the matter, got tired of the prison food in Pearl City, came to Great South City for a change of taste?"
She paused, as if suddenly remembering something, and quickly covered her mouth, saying apologetically,
"Oh dear, look at my memory, I almost forgot this is Great South City, your turf."
"Since it's your turf, how could we possibly expect you to welcome us?"
At this point, she suddenly spread her arms, making a gesture almost identical to the one from last time.
"It's for us to say..."
"Welcome home, Brother Pao!" Over a thousand members of the Ten Thousand Dragons Society shouted in unison.
The sound was like rolling thunder, crashing down on Pao Ge and his men with overwhelming force, utterly terrifying!
Pao Ge's legs gave way, and with a thud, he directly knelt down. "Yu... Sister Yu... I... I didn't know they were your people... this... this is all a misunderstanding... a misunderstanding!"
Although he had brought quite a few men, the Ten Thousand Dragons Society had even more—ten times his number!
And he had experienced the combat prowess of these Ten Thousand Dragons Society men in black last time; he wouldn't dare to fight them now.
He finally understood why Shen Hao had been so confident, and why he had so 'coincidentally' taken his bag and lured him to such a remote place.
All of this, everything, was a setup by the Ten Thousand Dragons Society!
The scheming is way too fucking deep!
Pao Ge couldn't help but look up at the pitch-black sky and the overwhelming sea of black-clad figures before him.
He felt he had guessed why the Ten Thousand Dragons Society had suddenly brought so many people to Great South City.
It can be summed up in just six words—a dragon is crossing the river!
