"Hmph, a human life?"

Zhao Shun sneered, clearly not believing Mad Dog.

"An employee of a film crew, and you think they have a life? Mad Dog, if you can't collect the debt, don't think you can fool me like this."

"Heh heh, boss, maybe, just maybe, he did get the money and now he wants to pocket it!"

This sentence caused Mad Dog to break out in a cold sweat!

You should know, in the Fu'an Gang, embezzling money is punishable by family law!

"Monkey! My godmother! Try and spit out more nonsense, I dare you!"

Mad Dog stood up and fiercely cursed the skinny man who had just framed him, his eyes flaming with anger!

"Enough!"

Seeing the group starting to quarrel, and even showing a tendency to escalate into a brawl, Zhao Shun immediately shouted them down.

After giving them a stern look, Zhao Shun said, "Mad Dog, you've been with me for many years. Don't worry, I won't suspect you."

Monkey's face turned a bit gloomy upon hearing Zhao Shun's words.

"However..."

Suddenly, Zhao Shun's tone shifted, and Monkey, with hopeful eyebrows, looked over at Zhao Shun expectantly.

"You didn't manage to collect the money this time, and you even got beaten up, so I think you should take a break. Monkey, you take people over tomorrow and help get this money collected."

"Heh heh, all right!" Zhao Shun had given him the Miaofa Temple area, and Monkey was so happy he was practically drooling.

"Boss, I..."

This was undoubtedly a roundabout way of making him give up the Miaofa Temple area, which Mad Dog was unwilling to do.

But Zhao Shun's gaze at the moment left no room for refusal. He could only sigh in resignation.

He glared at the Monkey resentfully and cursed, "Monkey, don't get too happy too soon. You'll be thwarted just the same when you go there!"

"Ha ha?"

Monkey couldn't help but laugh, looking down on Mad Dog with disdain, and sneered, "Mad Dog, please understand, not everyone is as useless as you. A lousy errand boy, I can beat the crap out of him all by myself. Right, big brother?"

Zhao Shun smiled, nodded his head, and said, "Monkey, don't be too rough when the time comes. Just crippling him will do. Also, smash all their equipment."

"Besides, Mad Dog, it's okay if you couldn't collect. But next time, I don't want to hear such excuses again. Do you understand?"

"I..."

"Actually, I think it would be best if you all listened to Hall Master Mad Dog's suggestion."

"Hm?" Just as Mad Dog was feeling aggrieved, suddenly a somewhat familiar voice rang out...

Looking past Zhao Shun, he realized that at some point, a bathhouse worker had appeared!

The room was filled with too much steam to see the newcomer's face clearly.

"Who are you..."

Zhao Shun's forehead was covered in sweat. The person was currently strangling him with a towel, and could probably take his life in an instant if they so desired!

Xu Fan licked his lips and laughed, "What's the matter? Just now you were talking about crippling me, and now you don't recognize me?"

"Yes! It's you!" Mad Dog had now recognized him, the one who had beaten him during the day!

The towel around Zhao Shun's neck was getting tighter and tighter, making it somewhat difficult for him to breathe. He forced a smile and said, "What brings you here, cough cough... can you loosen the towel first..."

"Heh heh, do I even need to say it?" Xu Fan said with a grin as he tightened his grip on Zhao Shun, not loosening it but instead pulling even tighter.

"Gang Leader Zhao's men smashed up a lot of our film crew's stuff during the day and left without paying a dime. I'm here today, of course, to demand compensation."

After saying this, Xu Fan glanced at the many thugs stirring restlessly, slowly edging toward him, and a cold smirk formed at the corner of his mouth.

"Gang Leader Zhao, just a friendly reminder, I really don't like being surrounded. Once I am, my hands tend to get jittery, you understand?"

As Xu Fan spoke, he gave the towel another tug, making Zhao Shun nearly gasp for air. Zhao Shun shouted urgently in his hoarse voice, "Fuck! Are you blind! Get the fuck back!"

At Zhao Shun's rebuke, the surrounding thugs quickly withdrew.

Xu Fan nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Gang Leader Zhao does know the current state of affairs."

"I came today mainly to deliver a message: don't gamble with your life. I will be staying on Hong Kong Island for a while longer, Gang Leader Zhao. If you keep harassing me, I'll happily continue this game with you, you understand?"

"Understood... Understood..." With his life in Xu Fan's firm grip, Zhao Shun had to make it clear, even if he didn't understand.

After agreeing, Xu Fan flicked his wrist, and the wet towel wrapped around Zhao Shun's neck unraveled.

Xu Fan stood up, holding the towel casually, and walked straight toward the door as if no one else was present.

...

"Shit! You think you can leave?"

Seeing their boss out of danger, Monkey rose from the bath, leading a group of men charging toward Xu Fan!

Xu Fan saw this and snorted coldly. He flicked his wrist, and the wet towel shot out, twisting around a thug's head. With a sharp pull, the man flew straight out!

Immediately after, Xu Fan moved swiftly, flipping several approaching thugs onto the ground. The towel flew out again! It wrapped around Monkey's neck, and with a strong yank, he slipped and was dragged right in front of Xu Fan!

With a cold snort, Xu Fan showed no mercy and delivered a vicious kick. Monkey clutched his groin, squealing like a pig being slaughtered.

In an instant, the group of thugs that had seemed overwhelming was half down, subdued by Xu Fan's fierce assaults.

Xu Fan turned around, his icy gaze zooming in on Zhao Shun as he attempted to flee from the bath. Xu Fan's steps quickened, and soon he was upon him. The towel, as if alive, tightly wrapped around Zhao Shun's neck again!

Xu Fan exerted force in his wrist, and Zhao Shun fell to his knees before him with a thud.

"Gang Leader Zhao, it seems my words didn't quite have an effect, did they?"

"Cough cough... Cough cough..." Zhao Shun, with the towel taut around his neck, couldn't speak and just shook his head desperately, his face turning red.

With a snort, Xu Fan flicked his wrist and unraveled the towel from Zhao Shun's neck.

As if granted amnesty, Zhao Shun knelt on the ground, gasping for air.

Having caught his breath, Zhao Shun found his back soaked with cold sweat.

Looking up at the young man above him, he couldn't help but tremble involuntarily.

Devil...

This guy was definitely a devil! At this moment, Zhao Shun even harbored the desire to slaughter Monkey, the damn fool who acted recklessly and didn't follow orders, provoking wrath and almost costing him his life.

Xu Fan calmly observed Zhao Shun's pale, pudgy face, the corners of his mouth tilting, and said, "Gang Leader Zhao, after such a lesson, you should remember this, right?"

"I'll remember! I'll remember!" Zhao Shun nodded frantically, hurriedly guaranteeing, "Big brother, rest assured, from now on, my Fuan Gang will definitely not cause any more trouble. For the things we smashed, I'll send someone to compensate your crew tomorrow!"
