evil tycoon

Startled, Lin Gang and his group stopped at the gate of the courtyard, cautiously scanning their surroundings. Only after confirming that no one was around did they open the gate and enter the courtyard.

Han Ping'an and the monkey looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Ping An, I'll listen to you."

"That Liu Chen's cultivation level is only at the mid-stage of Bone Refinement, but I don't recognize the others, and they're not Lin Gang's underlings."

"Should we make a move, or wait for another opportunity?"

Although he wished he could rush up and kill Lin Gang immediately.

But this sudden discovery made the monkey realize that something was wrong.

Han Ping'an frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "No rush, let's keep an eye on it first."

"At this time of day, and without any alcohol, five grown men in one room—it doesn't feel very peaceful."

The monkey's lips twitched: "It's not like five old men would be poking at each other's swallows..."

"..."

The two remained silent.

After that, the two remained silent, but did not leave, continuing to stare at the courtyard.

time flies.

From Hai Shi (9-11 PM) to Zi Shi (11 PM-1 AM).

At this time, there was not a single pedestrian in sight on the street, and tranquility enveloped the entire Lushan County.

Han Ping'an frowned and muttered, "Why don't we just kill all five of them?"

"There are five people in total, four of whom are following behind Lin Gang. Their status and strength should not exceed Lin Gang's."

The monkey paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "That works too."

If we keep waiting, who knows how many more days we'll have to wait?

Han Ping'an remained expressionless, his sleeves fluttering slightly.

Three bloodwing beetles quietly emerged.

Crunch!

The sound of the door opening came suddenly.

The monkey quickly tugged at Han Ping'an.

"They're out."

Five people walked out one after another.

As usual, Lin Gang walked in front.

The five men cautiously scanned their surroundings before heading out along the alley.

  

"Ping An, what should we do?" A look of surprise flashed in the monkey's eyes.

Going out suddenly at midnight is itself very strange.

"Let's follow and see."

Han Ping'an got up and followed without hesitation.

Half an hour later.

Not far away, on another street, Lin Gang and his five companions appeared furtively outside the wall of a courtyard.

The courtyard was spacious, but inside it was deathly silent.

Lin Gang and his four companions spread out along the wall, clearly intending to climb over it.

"Where is this place?" Han Ping'an was a little confused.

"Damn it, Lin Gang, that bastard, he's a traitor!"

The monkey exclaimed in a low voice, "I know this place. It's a stronghold of the Black Tiger Gang on this street. There are usually at least a dozen martial arts gang members inside, as well as more than one leader at the Bone Refining level."

"The protection money they collect from the two nearby streets is stored here, and then delivered to the gang together a few days later."

"For money?"

Han Ping'an suddenly felt enlightened.

Lin Gang is a traitor who colludes with the Snake Hand Gang to embezzle their own money.

The protection money from the two streets, if collected over a few days, would amount to at least several hundred taels.

"That must be it."

The monkey nodded firmly, its eyes filled with murderous intent.

Han Ping'an felt a surge of excitement. If nothing unexpected happened, the gains from this trip would likely exceed his expectations.

"Let them make the first move."

Swish swish! !

Lin Gang and his four companions exchanged hand gestures, then together they scaled the wall and climbed over, landing in the courtyard.

"Walk."

Han Ping'an gave a low shout, stood up first, and quietly came to the wall, listening intently.

In just a few breaths.

Then a muffled groan, a low cry of pain, and the sound of some tables and chairs colliding were heard.

The commotion was quite clear in the quiet night, but it wasn't loud; without considerable strength, one might not even notice it while walking past the courtyard.

Lin Gang and his group were clearly prepared.

The disturbance lasted for about ten breaths before it once again hit a bottleneck.

But Han Ping'an could already smell a faint scent of blood.

The Black Tiger Hall warriors inside had clearly already suffered.

He guessed that Lin Gang and his men probably had some kind of sleeping powder or similar substance with them.

Otherwise, if there were a dozen or so people inside, all of whom were martial artists, it would be impossible to produce such a subtle commotion.

"quick."

"Have you finished searching?"

"The money is all in these two chests, about six or seven hundred taels."

"We've finished examining the bodies. Let's leave here first and then divide them up when we get back."

"Walk."

A soft whisper reached his ears. Han Ping'an remained expressionless, turned around, and nodded at the monkey.

The monkey instantly became extremely alert, its whole body tense, ready to pounce.

next moment.

Han Ping'an lightly touched the ground with his feet and leaped over the wall like lightning.

In the courtyard.

Several corpses lay there.

Lin Gang and his four companions, carrying packages and boxes, had just stepped down the stairs.

Suddenly, a dark figure leaped over the wall and landed.

The five people froze, their eyes wide with shock.

Before they could react, another person fell.

Han Ping'an landed without hesitation and immediately turned to pounce on the five people.

"Damn it, kill them."

Lin Gang's expression changed drastically. Without thinking twice, he dove forward without hesitation.

Whoever they are, they clearly have ill intentions; kill them first as a sign of respect.

Swish!

Under the cover of night, a claw-like shadow flashed, sharp as a knife.

Bang!

Lin Gang's fist met Han Ping'an's claw attack, causing his five orifices to twist and his throat to let out a suppressed groan of pain.

Puff!

Blood splattered everywhere, and as the claws swept across, strings of flesh spilled out.

Lin Gang felt as if the back of his hand had been pierced and his finger bones had broken.

The immense force pushed him backward in a disheveled manner.

"So weak."

Han Ping'an landed a successful blow, and Qu Zhuo grasped his hand, realizing that he had underestimated his own strength.

The dagger hasn't even been used yet.

Ah~~

Muffled groans and screams suddenly erupted from behind.

The monkey rushed forward, fists clenched, but before it could even make a move, it saw three of them convulsing and about to collapse, which startled it greatly.

The eerie scene of Han Ping'an saving him flashed through his mind instantly.

It could never be poison.

Attacked remotely without any physical contact.

Even now, he still hasn't figured out the mystery behind it and can't figure out what kind of strange method it is.

Despite feeling a chill run down its spine, the monkey did not hesitate at all.

Boom!

The three were almost powerless to resist and collapsed instantly.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

"you……"

The last person, as if seeing a ghost, turned around and rushed towards the house.

The monkey darted after it.

However, as soon as the other person stepped onto the steps, their body jolted, their neck straightened, and they began to spasm violently.

The monkey, already used to it, stepped forward and slapped the back of its head without hesitation.

Bang!

The man fell to the ground, his head bleeding profusely.

The monkey didn't even notice the small insect clinging to the man's neck, greedily devouring his blood.

"Who are you people?"

Lin Gang's face was as white as paper, and he was terrified.

In just a few breaths, all four henchmen were dead. What kind of method is this?

The monkey turned around, its expression ferocious, and a strong killing intent swept out.

"Lin Gang, you bastard."

Lin Gang was stunned, his eyes widening as he stared in disbelief at the completely unfamiliar figure before him: "You, you're a monkey?"

He knew that voice all too well.

"It is your father."

The monkey roared in anger, its blood surging like a tide, and its strength bursting forth.

Damn it.

Lin Gang roared and, ignoring his bloodied and mangled hand, desperately channeled his qi and blood to strike down with his palm.

Bang!

In the instant of the exchange, the monkey let out a muffled groan and retreated repeatedly.

Even when injured, Lin Gang's power, unleashed in his desperate struggle, was still astonishing.

Han Pingan shook his head secretly and did not make a move.

But a bloodwing beetle had already quietly turned around and crawled to Lin Gang's trouser leg.

bite!

"Hiss~~"

Caught off guard, Lin Gang cried out in pain, his ankle twisted, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"This..." The monkey was both surprised and delighted. It could tell at a glance that this was Han Ping'an's masterpiece, and it immediately pounced on it.

"Keep alive."

Han Ping'an gave a low shout, still wanting to find out the inside story of Lin Gang's collusion with the Snake Hand Gang.

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a noise from next door.

"Damn it, what's going on in the middle of the night?"

Something's happened.

"Get the hell up, all of you!"

"Who dares to cause trouble in my Black Tiger Gang?"

A roar, accompanied by a violent commotion, rang out.

The place next door was also a stronghold of the Black Tiger Gang.

Swish swish! !

Three bloodwinged beetles crossed the wall.

Han Ping'an darted up and grabbed the package and two boxes that had fallen to the ground.

Then, the monkey took advantage of the situation and knocked Lin Gang unconscious with two punches.

"Walk."

The monkey hoisted Lin Gang onto its shoulder and nodded slightly to Han Ping'an.

The two rushed out of the courtyard, one after the other.

The monkey glanced to the side and saw chaos in the neighboring yard, with painful groans and howls coming from within.

What happened?

There are other helpers?

The monkey couldn't help but ask, "Is that Doflamingo? Don't you need any help?"

"Ming-ge isn't here, they're doomed. Let's get out of here."

Han Ping'an didn't even glance at it before rushing out the door and heading in the other direction.

"This...this...this kind of method again?"

The monkey's head is buzzing, even across the yard?

Seeing that no one had come out of the neighboring yard yet, he swallowed hard and hurriedly followed.
