"Alright, no problem..."

Elder Long didn't show even a hint of hesitation. Seeing that Qin Fang had already agreed, he readily and boldly gave his word as well.

Money to Elder Long was merely a number.

Although he never thought he had too much of it, trading this amount for this batch of goods was definitely a bargain. After all, this batch carried some additional significance.

"Younger Brother Qin, I'll send you the address later. I hope you can get there soon. If possible, it might be best for us to discuss things again..."

As it stood, time was quite tight—there were only a few hours remaining. Even Elder Long wasn't completely confident without having everything thoroughly prepared.

"I don't think that will be necessary. Since I've agreed, I'll make sure to show up early. But before that, I need to make some preparations... So I won't convene with you for now. Just send me the address, Elder Long."

Qin Fang, however, didn't agree to meet, providing a brief excuse to delay.

"Very well... Then I'll look forward to seeing what you've got, Younger Brother Qin!"

Though Elder Long hesitated for a moment, he didn't press the issue. He exchanged a couple of casual words with Qin Fang and then hung up the phone.

"What's going on?"

Qin Yuanyuan lay against Qin Fang's chest and asked curiously.

"Hmm, I took on a job. It's happening tonight, so I'll need to head out..."

Qin Fang nodded. Although this job wasn't something he absolutely had to accept, he decided to do it anyway. Making money was part of it, but more than that, he wanted to meet this infamous figure ranked in the top ten of the Villains List—Bloody-handed Demon Tu San!

"Be careful..."

Qin Yuanyuan knew quite a bit about Qin Fang's activities. Yet, as a wise and perceptive woman, she knew better than to pry into things she shouldn't. Instead, she gently reminded him to stay safe.

"Don't worry. This time, I'm the hunter, so there's no threat to me whatsoever! Since there's still some time, why don't we continue... A few months without a massage, and it seems you've grown a bit!"

Qin Fang chuckled as he replied, then glanced at Qin Yuanyuan's exquisite figure. Desire flared within him once more, and he quickly flipped her onto her back, lunging at her immediately.

"You're so bad... I've already run out of energy... Mm... I give them massages every day, you know, because you used to complain they were too small..."

Qin Yuanyuan half-playfully protested while giggling coyly as if she were indulging him. She proudly flaunted her now fuller, perky breasts, offering them up to Qin Fang to explore and savor.

The battle between the young couple reignited instantly, relegating the night's dangerous matters to the background—for the moment.

...

"Boss Long, are you really going to give him a thirty-percent cut? That's no small amount..."

After Elder Long hung up, a burly man with a thick beard immediately frowned and voiced his concern, clearly dissatisfied with the decision.

"Yeah, Brother Long, this batch of goods is massive. Giving him thirty percent... That's just too much! We're deploying hundreds of brothers for seventy percent, and he's working solo and wants thirty percent? That's too much of a loss!"

Another man, slightly older, with a prominent scar running from his ear to his neck, also voiced his skepticism.

This man, known as Scarface, was Elder Long's trusted lieutenant. In Xin'an, his status was equivalent to that of a deputy gang leader, making him one of the most powerful figures under Elder Long.

"What do you think, Strategist?"

Ignoring the complaints, Elder Long turned to a scholarly-looking man wearing glasses. He was somewhat thin and had a calm demeanor.

"Elder Long has already made his decision. Why ask me?"

The strategist smiled faintly, offering an apparently evasive response. Yet, his words clearly signaled his support for Elder Long's decision.

"Beard, Scarface, if you think we're giving away too much, you're welcome to take it back from him yourselves... I certainly wouldn't object."

After hearing the strategist's reply, Elder Long remained composed, giving a faint smile as he directed this comment to the two men in his entourage.

"Uh..."

Beard and Scarface froze, exchanging puzzled looks, trying to discern what Elder Long truly meant.

Was he seriously suggesting that they confront Qin Fang?

Or was this a veiled warning?

"However, if you really want to do that, don't act under my name... Otherwise, if you get yourselves killed, I won't be able to avenge you."

Before they could make sense of his words, Elder Long added this unsparing remark.

The strategist beside him remained unfazed, his expression unchanged despite the conversation. It was as though everything was playing out exactly as expected.

"Could he really be that formidable?"

Beard and Scarface exchanged another look, both somewhat taken aback. They hadn't anticipated Qin Fang being so highly regarded by Elder Long.

This reaction stemmed from their lack of direct contact with Qin Fang. When Elder Long had met Qin Fang, it was in connection to Brother San Shui, and such an embarrassing incident was not something Elder Long would broadcast. Even his most trusted subordinates knew only vague details—that Elder Long had met a rather skilled individual.

Now, seeing Elder Long's demeanor added to their astonishment. But they soon began to piece things together: if Qin Fang weren't so formidable, why would Elder Long rely on him to deal with the top-tier expert sent by Han Long's faction?

"Whether it's exaggerated or not, we'll find out in a few hours. Go prepare the brothers. Make sure everything is in place..."

Since things couldn't be definitively resolved now, Elder Long remained confident that the matter would become clear during the operation. His authority might have quelled dissent by force, but such an approach would erode camaraderie—which wasn't his style.

The wise approach was to let his men witness the expert's prowess firsthand so they could judge the value themselves.

Initially, Elder Long only sought Qin Fang out due to his reputed medical arts, doubting his combat abilities. However, recent intelligence revealed that Qin Fang might possess terrifying strength—strong enough to incapacitate Japan's Karate Kyokushin-ryu Grandmaster-level expert Kyokushin Genichi in a single strike!

Though Kyokushin Genichi wasn't particularly renowned on Hong Kong Island, he held considerable fame in Japan. Elder Long had once witnessed him in combat and was deeply impressed by his incredible prowess.

Under Elder Long's command were four elites dubbed the "Four King Kongs," yet perhaps only Azure Dragon could contend with Genichi, and even then, it would be an even match at best.

But for someone like Genichi to fall like a child before Qin Fang—it left Elder Long shaken. He was still haunted by the memory.

With this evening's operation facing complications, Elder Long had hesitated before ultimately deciding to reach out to Qin Fang. Offering up a thirty-percent cut was a significant deal, but it paved the way for building a rapport with both Qin Fang and the powerful backing he seemed to possess.

This gesture of goodwill could potentially ensure smoother dealings in the future.

Of course, none of this was something Elder Long could openly admit.

...

As midnight drew near, the shipyard at the southern port of Hong Kong Island was eerily quiet. The vast space seemed almost devoid of people, with hardly a sound to be heard.

But this calm was temporary. Tonight, this location was destined to be anything but tranquil; this was the site of a significant drug trade.

Elder Long, undisputed leader of Hong Kong Island's underworld, could learn almost any information with his tens of thousands of subordinates scattered across the city.

Though news of Han Long's death hadn't spread yet, Elder Long sensed something strange. Still, he hadn't thought too deeply about it—no one involved in such a lucrative deal wanted it to fall through easily.

Han Long's crew didn't want to quit, and neither did the Sanlian Gang...

At this moment, Elder Long sat in a car roughly three kilometers away from the shipyard. Approaching directly would not be a wise move.

Nonetheless, he kept a close watch on the situation from the shadows, mindful of this operation's significance.

But as the clock ticked towards midnight, with no word from Qin Fang, Elder Long couldn't help but grow anxious.

"Minister, the target is heading toward the southern district... Yes, understood..."

Meanwhile, Qin Fang had no intention of breaking his promise. After receiving the address, he waited until the time was just right, then got up lazily from Qin Yuanyuan's embrace and took a cab to the southern district.

A short while after he left, however, he was quickly marked by someone...

"Well, it seems some fools don't value their lives..."

The people tailing him thought they were discreet, oblivious to the fact that Qin Fang had noticed them the moment they set their sights on him.

Had Qin Fang not chosen to lie low, he could have killed them off in a heartbeat.

"Yamaguchi Group operatives? Haha, they're practically delivering themselves to my doorstep..."

About three or four kilometers from the shipyard, Qin Fang got out of the car and vanished into the shadows. Only after determining the identities of those tailing him did he leisurely reappear and continue on his way, pretending to remain unaware. Smirking, he led the clueless operatives toward the shipyard... (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your votes and show your support.
