I chose one of four options at the start, and I chose the number one clan in Lingnan.

The echo of the gong had not yet faded.

The water snake, holding a machete, stood at the bow of the speedboat, looking around.

The river breeze blew through the reeds, and apart from the sound of flowing water, there was no other noise.

The walkie-talkie on Water Snake's waist rang, and Qiao Sanye's hoarse roar came through: "Water Snake, what's the situation on your end? Is it all sorted out?"

The provincial heavy industry workers are already waiting at the dock to receive the goods; we absolutely cannot let the Lin family's ship dock.

Water Snake picked up the walkie-talkie and replied: "Don't worry, Third Master, all of the Lin family's boats are stranded in Wild Boar Bay. They're hiding in the cabins like cowards."

"I'll have my brothers drill down right away. Within ten minutes, all these hundreds of tons of scrap metal will be sunk to the bottom of the river to feed the turtles."

Water Snake tucked the walkie-talkie back into his waistband, turned around, and kicked the henchman next to him. "What are you standing there for? Get to work! Turn the bottom of the boat into a sieve!"

The henchman raised the electric drill, but the drill bit hadn't even touched the cargo ship's planks yet.

Several bubbles rose to the surface of the water.

Splash!

A dozen or so shirtless men emerged from the water, wiping the mud off their faces with reed tubes in their mouths, and stood in front of the speedboat.

The water snake recognized the dozen or so people, dropped its machete, and burst into laughter, clutching its stomach.

"Is this all the Lin family has? Are they out of people? Sending you peasants down here to die?"

The water snake pointed at the man in the water and then turned to shout to its men.

"Get me an electric drill and drill a few holes in them. Let's see if they dare to block the way again."

The henchmen laughed wildly as they pressed the switch on the electric drill, and the industrial drill bit buzzed as it plunged into the water.

The dozen or so men in the water did not retreat.

The water snake hadn't finished laughing yet.

Splash. Splash. Splash.

The murky river water broke open on a large scale, and a thousand shirtless men of the Lin family emerged one after another from the water beneath the reeds.

They densely filled the entire surface of Wild Boar Bay, each dragging a heavy, dark object, the river water flowing down their muscular bodies.

The water snake abruptly stopped laughing, staring in horror at the dark mass of people around it.

"Water ghost, where did the Lin family get so many people who know how to swim?" Water Snake cursed, taking two steps back and bumping into the dashboard.

"Take the Molotov cocktails out of the cabin and burn these peasants to death."

The henchmen dropped the power drill, carried beer bottles filled with gasoline from the hold, and lit the strips of cloth with a lighter.

The Lin family men didn't approach the speedboat at all; instead, they swung their arms and threw hundreds of specially made fishing nets woven from coarse hemp into the air.

This is no ordinary fishing net; it's the rolling net that the Lin family of Tazhai has used for generations to make a living on the river.

The net ropes, soaked in tung oil, were incredibly tough, with extremely dense mesh. The edges were bound with fist-sized iron and lead blocks, and with tremendous downward force, they blanketed the thirty-five speedboats.

"Throw it. Throw the Molotov cocktail out!" the water snake roared.

The thugs had barely thrown the Molotov cocktails when the fishing nets were already raining down on them.

A piece of cast iron and lead struck the Molotov cocktail, shattering the glass mid-air. Gasoline spilled onto the deck, and flames erupted.

"Get out of the way. Don't get caught in the net." The water snake brandished its machete to cut the rope above its head.

The machete left only a white mark when it was used to cut into the ground.

Iron blocks and lead weights smashed onto the henchmen's helmets and shoulders, causing them to bleed profusely from their heads, and they fell onto the deck along with their electric drills.

The Lin family man underwater grabbed the retractable rope at the bottom of the fishing net and pulled hard.

The thick net rope was caught in the high-speed propeller at the stern of the speedboat.

Click click click.

The propeller was tightly tangled in the hemp rope, causing its rotational speed to drop sharply.

Several high-horsepower diesel engines emitted a screeching sound, spewing thick black smoke from their exhaust pipes before stalling.

All thirty-five speedboats lost power and came to a stop on the muddy beach of Wild Boar Bay.

Flames erupted on the deck, and the thugs, their hands and feet entangled in fishing nets, rolled and howled in agony beside the fire.

"Start the backup machine, quick!" the water snake roared, tearing at the fishing net covering its body.

"Brother Snake, the backup phone is also tangled in the netting and won't start."

The henchman knelt on the deck, desperately pulling on the starter rope, but the engine did not respond.

The fishing net tightened, wrapping the thugs on the speedboat up like little dumplings.

On the water, the Lin family men swam in pairs to either side of the speedboat.

They gripped the drainage channel on the edge of the speedboat with both hands and stood on the muddy bottom of the water with both feet.

On the cargo ship's deck, Lin Dayou held a walkie-talkie, watching the chaos below.

"Ship number one, did the cargo take on water?" Lin Dayou asked.

"Not a drop of water has entered; the lower deck is completely dry," came the reply over the walkie-talkie.

Lin Dayou put away his walkie-talkie and pointed to the speedboat below.

"Tear them up," Lin Dayou ordered.

"One, two, go!" the Lin family men in the water shouted in unison.

Several thousand kilograms of force erupted simultaneously.

Thirty-five speedboats tilted severely to one side.

"Don't flip over. Keep your balance. Plunge to the left!" the water snake cried out in terror, its body sliding towards the surface of the water.

He reached out to grab the railing of the speedboat, but the moment his fingers touched the metal pipe, the speedboat completely lost its balance.

boom.

Thirty-five speedboats landed upside down on the river, splashing water everywhere.

The flames on the deck were extinguished by the river water, leaving plumes of white smoke.

More than 300 Sanyihui thugs were wrapped in fishing nets and thrown upside down into the water.

Wild Boar Bay was shallow, with waist-deep mud at the bottom. When the thugs fell in, they had nowhere to grab onto.

Lin's son swam forward and stepped onto the fishing net.

The water snake struggled desperately underwater, flailing its arms and bubbling as it spoke.

Mud poured into his nose and mouth. He opened his eyes and could only see murky muddy water and countless large feet stepping on the fishing nets.

A young man from the Lin family dived into the water, grabbed the water snake by the collar, and pulled him to the surface.

The water snake coughed violently, spitting out large mouthfuls of yellow muddy water.

Just as he was about to catch his breath, the young man pressed down on the back of his head with one hand and pushed him back into the water.

Glug glug.

The surface of the water was covered with churning mud and bubbles.

The thugs tried to resist, some of them pulling out daggers from their waists and stabbing wildly through the fishing net.

The Lin family man raised the steel wrench in his hand and smashed it on their shoulders and wrists through the fishing net.

The sound of bones cracking echoed muffledly underwater.

The dagger fell into the mud, the resistance ceased completely, and only pleading sobs remained.

Lin Dayou, wearing waterproof clothing, climbed down the rope ladder on the side of the cargo ship.

He waded through waist-deep river water to the overturned No. 1 speedboat, stepping onto its white fiberglass hull.

The younger man from the Lin family pulled the water snake out of the water and threw it at Lin Dayou's feet.

The water snake rolled its eyes, its body covered in mud, and it was panting heavily, unable to even beg for mercy.

His elite group of water monsters was wiped out in less than ten minutes.

Lin Dayou bent down, reached out and grabbed the water snake's hair, pulling his face closer.

"Go back and tell your chairman that this river now belongs to the Lin family." Lin Dayou released his grip.
