Battle for Northern Frontier: The game begins with the grassland woman buying him.

"The Fierce Dragon Gang I'm going to lead doesn't need these underhanded tactics. What we need is power, order, and a fist that can stand firm in this Stone City," he said, glancing at Su Zhan.

"You saved this girl; it's a testament to your skill and your kindness. She can leave now."

The little girl was so frightened that she buried her head behind Lin Yuer.

"Kindness?" Su Zhan coughed, and although he was swaying precariously, his arrogance had not been extinguished.

"Stop with your hypocrisy. You're only doing this because you see us as someone you can still use."

The young man in white stopped smiling, his phoenix eyes narrowed, and he exuded endless coldness and oppression.

"You are indeed very capable, but you are not smart enough. You are currently poisoned and bleeding profusely. How long can you hold on? If you do not receive timely treatment, you will surely die."

Then he looked at Lin Qingshan.

"And all of your lives are in my hands. Do you think they could survive in this Stone City without your protection? Or what would their fate be?"

The young man in white regained his previous calm, carrying an indifferent air of complete control.

"This isn't recruitment, it's charity. It's giving you a way to live. Accept it, and you'll live, and live better than before. If you refuse it..." The young man in white curled his lips into a cruel smile, his gaze sweeping over everyone: "I don't need to tell you the outcome, do I? Will you suffer a fate worse than death, or will you choose a path you never considered? Time is running out, think it over carefully."

The alley fell silent, save for Su Zhan's panting.

Lin Qingshan tried to struggle, but was held down firmly.

The young man in white remained calm and composed, waiting for Su Zhan to surrender.

Su Zhan felt his vision blurring as the poison and blood loss began to consume his will.

He didn't care about the status and future the young man in white talked about, but it hit his most fatal weakness.

He could die, but Lin Yuer could not fall into their clutches; that was his only weakness.

Su Zhan felt Lin Yuer's hand gripping his arm trembling violently. He turned his head with difficulty and saw Lin Yuer's tear-streaked face filled with fear. Her expression was like a knife, stabbing into his heart.

If you can't live, then everything is meaningless.

What he once longed for most, and what he lacked most, is slipping away in the midst of this standoff, each second feeling incredibly long.

Finally, Su Zhan took a deep breath, inhaling his anger and humiliation into his lungs.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the handsome young man.

"Okay, I promise!"

The young man's lips curled up in satisfaction, his smile no longer fleeting, but filled with pride.

He waved his hand gently.

"That's right! Discretion is the better part of valor! Men, take them back to the Fierce Dragon Gang!"

Several burly men stepped forward, restrained Su Zhan, and released Lin Qingshan.

The last thing Su Zhan saw was the young man's smug smile.

He then fell into a coma.

……

Raptors Gang.

When Su Zhan opened his eyes, he saw Lin Yuer looking at him with a face full of concern.

"My husband, you're awake!"

Su Zhan struggled to sit up, but Lin Yu'er held him down.

"Husband, don't move, or the wound will reopen."

Su Zhan's movements aggravated his wound, and the tingling sensation returned, forcing him to lie back down on the bed.

He asked Lin Yuer in a hoarse voice, "How long have I been unconscious?"

"It's been three days and three nights..."

Su Zhan took a deep breath.

"Where's my older brother?"

"My older brother went out and hasn't come back yet."

Su Zhan coughed lightly: "Tell me what happened after I lost consciousness."

Lin Yuer recounted everything that happened afterward in detail.

The young man in white brought everyone back to the NetDragon Gang, arranged accommodations for them, and sent someone to treat Su Zhan's injuries, clearing the toxins from his body, cleaning his wounds, and brewing medicine for him, which Lin Yuer then fed to him.

These things were all done by people sent by the Raptors from beginning to end.

The young man in white has not appeared since he settled them in.

"What's his name?"

"He never said his name. I heard from the Menglong Gang that his name is Bai Zhanqiu."

Su Zhan didn't take it seriously.

His first impression of the young man was that he was flashy.

How could there be such an eccentric character in this Stone City? Dressed in white and carrying a folding fan, he's incredibly flamboyant.

Su Zhan felt that he shouldn't be called Bai Zhanqiu, but rather Bai Zhanji.

However, Su Zhan should thank him now. If it weren't for his mercy in sparing Su Zhan and the others' lives, Su Zhan would probably be back at Meng Po's place getting his soup.

Su Zhan took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

He knew his immediate priority was to heal his wounds and then learn about the so-called Dragon Gang and Stone City.

Of course, the most important thing is to understand the young man named Bai Zhanqiu.

Su Zhan only learned about the general division of Stone City's sphere of influence from Lin Qingshan.

The nomadic tribes here are called Agada, while the Han Chinese sect is called the Fierce Dragon Gang. As for the leaders of the Fierce Dragon Gang, he knew nothing about them.

When he saw the members of the Fierce Dragon Gang, such as Cross-Eyed and Eighth Master, he thought the Fierce Dragon Gang was an extremely filthy den of thieves. But who would have thought that there would be someone like Bai Zhanqiu among them?

Although Su Zhan didn't think Bai Zhanqiu was a good person, he felt that Bai Zhanqiu was very realistic, and Su Zhan was willing to cooperate with such a realistic person.

Because such people only care about their own interests and won't ask for anything else.

Just like the day he recruited Su Zhan, it wasn't because he didn't want to kill Su Zhan, but because he had already lost two great generals, Dou Zhiyan and Ba Sanye.

Su Zhan happens to be quite skilled, so if he were to kill Su Zhan as well, it would be the greatest loss.

The best option at the time was to bring Su Zhan under their command, which would make up for their losses and turn hostility into friendship.

If Su Zhan can be used by him and be grateful to him, then Bai Zhanqiu has made a huge profit!

After all, Su Zhan's combat power is off the charts. He killed so many members of the Fierce Dragon Gang, but was only seriously injured. His strength should not be underestimated.

Therefore, Bai Zhanqiu is a very shrewd businessman, no wonder he's such a show-off. Su Zhan is very interested in him now.

If that's the case, then Su Zhan's current task is very clear: to recover from his injuries. As for anything else, there's no need to think about it.

The Dragon Gang of Stone City temporarily protected him; whether it was a trap or a powerful backer, he was ultimately on this ship.

Su Zhan should take it one step at a time and make further plans after he has fully recovered from his injuries.

Moreover, he had already promised Bai Zhanqiu that he would work for him, so he had to keep his word and at the very least repay the debt of saving his life.

Of course, this was also because they were being lenient. Anyway, Su Zhan has settled down temporarily in the Fierce Dragon Gang.
