Chapter 155: 155. Unify the underworld of Haicheng!

“Wang Meng, please drive faster!”

At that moment, inside the black Bentley heading toward the suburban Yuan family estate, Yuan Youwei clutched her phone, her beautiful face as cold as ice. Someone from her family had secretly sent her a message. It said that Yuan Lang and his family were causing a disturbance with a coffin and that they had the support of Yuan Xiangjun and Mr. Han Sr. Furthermore, the latter’s intentions were even more sinister—they were plotting to forcibly seize the Yuan family’s assets, worth hundreds of billions!

“Okay!”

From the driver’s seat, Wang Meng nodded and slammed the gas pedal to the floor.

BOOM!

The black Bentley shot forward like a tiger unleashed from its cage.

“Miss, don’t be afraid. With us here, that Han Tianba won’t be able to run rampant!” Mrs. Xue growled, her expression grim.

She also served as the head of security for the Yuan family estate and had just received a flood of texts from her subordinates pleading for help.

That damned Han Tianba had actually brought over five hundred elites from the provincial capital’s Black Wind Hall? This was likely more than a mere show of force or provocation; he was truly planning to massacre the entire Yuan family!

“Mr. Yuan Sr. is the number one figure in Haicheng, after all. He shouldn’t be lacking in official connections,” Lin Fan said, glancing at Yuan Youwei and Mrs. Xue with a slight frown. “Money King Han Tianba is a kingpin who has already gone legitimate. He wouldn’t be stupid enough to use such crude gangster tactics against Mr. Yuan Sr… unless someone has already cleared the way with the officials in Haicheng, allowing the Han family to act so recklessly!”

Yuan Youwei gasped. Mrs. Xue, in the front passenger seat, felt her pupils contract sharply.

No one was a fool. Chen Heihu had dared to lead his men from Black Tiger Hall to cause trouble at the estate because he thought Mr. Yuan Sr. was already dead. The second time, led by Iguchi Watanabe, he had returned relying on the backing of those little devils from Sakura Country. But Han Tianba was a public figure. How could he dare to do something like this? There had to be someone with immense power backing him!

For a moment, the two exchanged a look before their gazes simultaneously fell on the unconscious Ah Lu, curled up in the car.

This woman, who appeared out of nowhere, kept mentioning some Great Commander Shen… and the Ying family of the Imperial Capital?! But… but why would the number one superfamily in the Imperial Capital want Lin Fan dead? Why would they order the Han family from the southwestern provincial city to destroy the Yuan family of Haicheng?

As they speculated with rising fear, both Yuan Youwei’s and Mrs. Xue’s faces turned pale, beads of cold sweat trickling down their foreheads.

“They must be after me… It’s my fault the Yuan family was dragged into this.” Seeing their reactions, Lin Fan fell silent for a moment, his jaw tightening.

Actually, given Shen Yueli’s petty and vindictive nature, the reason isn’t hard to guess. She sent Ah Lu here not only to kill me but also to eliminate those around me who could help? Vicious. Cruel.

“There are some things I’ll explain to you later. If the Han family dares to touch a single hair on the old man’s head, I’ll make their entire family pay for it.” Seeing the dazed and confused looks on Yuan Youwei and Mrs. Xue, Lin Fan said no more, but his gaze turned increasingly cold.

SCREECH!

The next moment, the car screeched to a halt, sending the three of them lurching forward.

“What the hell, you got a death wish?!” Wang Meng let go of the steering wheel, stuck his head out the window, and cursed at the men who had blocked their path.

“Our apologies, our apologies! We are from the Divine Blade Sect, Bright Moon Villa, and other factions,” the men said with sheepish smiles, quickly clasping their hands in apology.

“What do you think you’re doing? You heard my Yuan family is in trouble tonight and want to take advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie?” Yuan Youwei said with a humorless smile, her beautiful eyes fixed on the men, radiating a thick, chilling intent.

“No, no, no, Miss Yuan, you’ve misunderstood!” The men jolted, frantically waving their hands as they offered their sheepish explanation. “We came specifically to greet Young Master Fan and offer our help, to avoid any misunderstandings!”

“That’s right! With Mr. Yuan Sr. watching over Haicheng, we brothers have been able to eat and live in peace,” a tall, thin man chimed in. “We heard that a large contingent from the provincial capital’s Black Wind Hall was heading to the Yuan family’s estate. We knew they were up to no good! If the Yuan family falls, we won’t be able to stand against Black Wind Hall. We’ll be wiped out sooner or later!”

“In that case, hell, we might as well follow the God of Killing, Young Master Fan, and go all in!”

As they spoke, the men grew more agitated, their eyes red as they clenched their fists, pumped full of adrenaline.

Seeing this, Yuan Youwei, Mrs. Xue, and even Wang Meng—who had been about to make a move—were all dumbfounded. They never expected that Lin Fan’s personal prestige in Haicheng had reached such a terrifying level that even the big shots of the underground forces were tripping over themselves to pledge their loyalty!

“The fact that you were all willing to stand up at this critical moment is enough. I, Lin Fan, accept this gesture.”

Under the gazes of many, Lin Fan paused for a moment. He then gave a slight nod, signaling his acceptance of their pledge.

“After tonight, you will divide all of Black Wind Hall’s territories in the southwest among yourselves. But let me be clear. If anyone dares to use my name to bully others and cause trouble, I will not show them any mercy.”

His indifferent voice wasn’t loud, but it was like a clap of thunder in their ears.

“No, no, no! We would never dare to cause trouble again! We were forced by Chen Heihu before; we had no choice!”

“With the God of Killing, Young Master Fan’s, solemn decree, who the hell would dare to act recklessly?”

The men trembled, shaking their heads desperately with smiles that looked worse than sobs. Then, their eyes lit up with excitement, and they all shouted toward the intersection.

“Everyone, come out! Young Master Fan has agreed!”

BOOM! BOOM!

In an instant, a fleet of black vans ignited their engines and switched on their lights in unison, like a black flood. From the vans, which should have only held seven or eight people, fifteen or sixteen men now poured out of each.

“Young Master Fan, I am the leader of the Divine Blade Sect, here to pledge my loyalty!”

“Young Master Fan, I am Ming Xiang of Bright Moon Villa, here to pledge my loyalty!”

“We are from the Bamboo Union, the Eight Treasures Pavilion, the Sky Blast Gang… we are here to pledge our loyalty to the God of Killing, Young Master Fan!”

With a great clamor, more than ten fierce-looking underworld bosses from Haicheng got out of their vehicles and strode to the black Bentley’s window. Then, they knelt on one knee and shouted up at him.

“You all heard what I said just now, right?” Lin Fan asked, his expression impassive as he nodded.

He had no real desire to accept them, as none of them were good people. But allowing them to wreak havoc in Haicheng is worse. Far better to seize this chance to subdue them and keep them firmly in line.

“Please rest assured, Young Master Fan! We will turn over a new leaf! We will never dare to misbehave and bring shame upon you!” the dozen or so underworld bosses trembled with excitement, nodding their heads furiously like chickens pecking at grain.

In the past, they had revered Chen Heihu as the underground emperor of Haicheng. The very thought of it now was disgusting. Compared to a man like Lin Fan, a creature like Chen Heihu wasn’t even fit to carry his shoes!

He had single-handedly wiped out Black Tiger Hall’s main base. He had brought the nine major pharmaceutical companies of Haicheng to their knees. He had personally killed Iguchi Watanabe, the vice president of Iguchi Pharmaceutical Group. Just yesterday, in front of everyone, he had chased dozens of martial arts experts from Sakura Country until they fled like rats! Finally, he had even forced the third son of the Imperial Capital’s Wen family and the president of Iguchi Pharmaceutical Group, Iguchi Tama, to flee in disgrace!

There were also rumors that Lin Fan had forced his way into the seaside villa of Huang Jiacheng, the Land King, one of the four great magnates. The Huang family had been completely powerless to stop him, allowing him to enter as if walking into an unguarded domain.

Simply domineering, arrogant, and outrageously defiant!

Only such an incredible powerhouse deserved their loyalty and allegiance. Only he was qualified to unify the underworld of Haicheng!

“Young Master Fan, enough talk! Tonight, let’s lead the brothers to do something big!”

“That damn Han family from the provincial capital! They really think Haicheng has no one, daring to make a move on the respected Mr. Yuan Sr.!”

“That’s right! Bringing hundreds of Black Wind Hall thugs over here, they’re clearly looking down on us local powers!”

At a signal from Lin Fan, the underworld bosses rose one by one, their underlings behind them roaring in agreement.

Thinking back to when they were forced to offer incense for Lin Fan’s mother and pay ten million in funeral money… Looking back, it was a massive win! That was an opportunity sent by the heavens, a stroke of immense destiny!

For a moment, the dozen or so bosses exchanged glances, and many unconsciously straightened their backs. They even felt a hint of disdain for those who had failed to pay their respects to Lin Suxin back then.

“Alright, back in the cars. Let’s go take a look at that trash from the provincial capital.” Seeing this, Lin Fan nodded, signaling Wang Meng to start the engine.

Yuan Youwei and Mrs. Xue both felt their worries ease, replaced by a rush of excitement.

This was great, absolutely great. With their help, the Han family wouldn’t just fail to gain an advantage; they were probably going to suffer a terrible disaster!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

At Lin Fan’s command, the black Bentley led the charge. Behind it, the fleet of black vans followed, surging forward like a monstrous black tide.
