Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 17: Dragon and Tiger Hall Takes the Blame



Seeing Zhang Long with a solemn and earnest expression, his face even showing a hint of anxiety, Yang Fei was slightly surprised. Glancing at the corpse on the ground, he said, "As far as I know, according to the rules of the Martial World, feuds in the Martial Arts World can be resolved by the parties involved. What's wrong, is there trouble?"

Zhang Long nodded and said, "Yes, according to the rules of the Martial Arts World, as long as the disaster doesn't affect others, disputes within the Martial Arts World are indeed permissible. But there are also restrictions. For example, for common death incidents, if the number of deaths exceeds three, it is considered a large incident of group endangerment that requires accountability. According to the rules of the Martial World, in feuds within the Martial Arts World, the number of deaths in a single incident shouldn't exceed eight without affecting common people."

Yang Fei glanced at the bodies on the ground.

Uh...

No need to count, it's definitely more than eight.

He frowned slightly and asked Zhang Long, "What happens if it exceeds eight people?"

Zhang Long hastily said, "In the feuds of the Martial Arts World, if the number of deaths in a single duel exceeds eight, it is a violation of the ethics of the Martial World. The person will be considered a dangerous Martial Artist who has broken the law with martial force. The Martial World Alliance, in order to maintain stability in the Martial Arts World and give an account to those above, will impose sentencing and punishment."

Yang Fei rubbed his eyebrows.

This was a bit troublesome.

However, he did not regret it.

As the Madman King who once dominated the underworld abroad, though he never sought trouble, once someone provoked him, he would surely annihilate them.

Today, with the guards and bodyguards of the Chen Family, he had actually shown mercy. Otherwise, the death toll would have been much higher.

He had just returned to China to get married. Today, he had also met his cousin, and he had yet to resolve his own impending dangers. He didn't want to leave just like this. Thanksforreading—broughttoyoubyM|VL|EMPYR.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Fei raised his eyes to look at Zhang Long; his gaze then swept over the crowd around, his tone indifferent as he said, "Just clean up and dispose of the bodies thoroughly, that should do."

All who were swept by Yang Fei's gaze felt a surge of immense fear in their hearts.

Zhang Long was taken aback; he even saw a hint of killing intent in Yang Fei's eyes.

Who exactly was this Mr. Yang, with such a heavy intent to kill? Did he also want to kill all of them, including himself, to cover up the traces?

He suddenly realized that he didn't know anything about this mysterious Mr. Yang at all.

This man was young, yet his medical skill was superior, saving lives and helping the injured, with a doctor's benevolence.

But that was just a facade.

The Yang Fei before him was ruthless, wiping out more than a dozen people with a single move, more like a demon from hell.

Good and evil were hard to distinguish.

"Brother Long... actually, there is another way," said Ma Zhao next to Zhang Long, also feeling the chilly sharpness in Yang Fei's eyes from before. His heart trembled; he forced down his fear and spoke.

Zhang Long's eyes brightened upon hearing him.

Yang Fei also showed a hint of pleasure and looked at Ma Zhao, saying, "Speak."

Ma Zhao hastily said, "Just as Mr. Yang said, if the cleanup is thorough enough, it is possible to hide a lot of things. This wouldn't be difficult for our Dragon and Tiger Hall. There's another way, our Dragon and Tiger Hall can take the blame for this incident."

Zhang Long completely calmed down.

That's right, there were indeed solutions.

It was just that he had been so shocked by Yang Fei's display of prowess before, a bit unstable in his state of mind. Now, sparked by Ma Zhao's reminder, he suddenly came back to his senses.

He looked at Yang Fei and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Yang, I was too anxious just now, not calm enough. Rest assured, I will take care of this matter properly, ensuring it has nothing to do with you."

"Oh?" Yang Fei finally showed a smile on his face.

He looked at Zhang Long, and asked with a smile, "Why would you help me?"

Zhang Long said, "Mr. Yang, you're too serious. You saved my master's life; you are a benefactor of Dragon and Tiger Hall. I, Zhang Long, have been an orphan since childhood. It was my master who adopted me and raised me, teaching me all my skills. You saved my master, so you are also my benefactor, Zhang Long's benefactor."

Yang Fei stared at Zhang Long, only to see Zhang Long's sincere expression, just like the gratitude he had shown towards him back at the Li Xuantong Medical Hall.

Seeing Yang Fei looking at him, Zhang Long, afraid that he was still not at ease, explained, "Mr. Yang, rest assured, this matter will definitely not implicate you. According to the rules of the Martial Arts World, in the great battles of strife between Sects, the number of deaths can exceed eight."

Yang Fei suddenly understood, yet he questioned, "But wouldn't doing this involve your Dragon and Tiger Hall?"

Zhang Long hesitated for a moment, but before he could speak, Ma Zhao interjected, "There's trouble..."

"Shut up!" Zhang Long rebuked coldly.

Ma Zhao shrank his neck in fright and retreated to one side.

Yang Fei looked at Zhang Long, who seeing that he couldn't hide the truth, reluctantly said, "There will be some trouble, but it's not a big problem, it can be solved."

"Are you sure?" Yang Fei asked.

Zhang Long nodded firmly.

Yang Fei wasn't one to delve too deeply, so he patted Zhang Long on the shoulder and said, "Consider I owe you a favor."

Zhang Long was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Although he didn't understand deeply, through the medical skill and combat power that Yang Fei had displayed, Zhang Long knew that this young man was absolutely more profound and unpredictable than he had imagined.

Having this person's recognition was definitely a good thing for himself.

Although happy in his heart, Zhang Long immediately said, "Mr. Yang is too polite. You saved my master; you are my benefactor. Doing something for you is only right."

Yang Fei smiled and said, "I saved your master and took a million from you. We're even. Now you're helping me, so I owe you a favor. Let's leave it at that."

Zhang Long, seeing his determination, did not press further and reminded him, "This matter should not be delayed. Mr. Yang, you should go first. I need to take care of it."

Yang Fei didn't make a fuss and turned to leave.

"Xiao Ma, see Mr. Yang off," Zhang Long ordered.

Ma Zhao, ecstatic, felt extremely honored to have the opportunity to get closer to Mr. Yang.

After Ma Zhao drove Yang Fei away, Zhang Long swept his gaze over the injured members of the Chen Family and said coldly, "My Dragon and Tiger Hall has long wanted to swallow the Chen Family's influence. What happened today is all done by my Dragon and Tiger Hall. If anyone dares to mention Mr. Yang in this matter, I won't spare them."

The guards and bodyguards of the Chen Family who were injured by Yang Fei, upon hearing Zhang Long's words, knew they had escaped with their lives. They nodded unanimously, some even swearing to guarantee it.

Not to mention Zhang Long's pressure, just the thought of Yang Fei's terrifying combat power filled them with deep fear, and they did not dare offend him.

...

A piece of news spread through Binhai Road.

A conflict broke out between Dragon and Tiger Hall and the Chen Family, ending with the death of the three father and sons of the Chen Family, and among the martial artists who served the Chen Family, except for Zhou Pan, the remaining four were all killed.

That very night, Dragon and Tiger Hall forcefully took over many of the Chen Family's businesses.

At the same time, the strongest power in Binhai also caught wind of the situation and took decisive action.

Overnight, the Chen Family's influence was divided up cleanly, and from then on, there was no Chen Family in Binhai.

In the wee hours after 3 a.m., having finished dealing with the matter of the Chen Family, Zhang Long, accompanied by his severely injured master Qi Tai, drove through the night to the Binhai branch of the Martial Arts Alliance, to personally explain the night's events.

In Provincial City, within a courtyard of traditional Chinese architectural style, a handsome and dashing young man listened to the voice on the phone, his face showing an irritated expression.

"Useless, all of them in the Chen Family are useless. They can't even handle such a small matter and even let Dragon and Tiger Hall wipe them out in one fell swoop! You piece of shit, make sure my business is taken care of before you die."

The young man threw the phone onto the bed, cursing with a ferocious face.

Talk about bad luck.

He had sent someone to take care of a task, and someone else had taken care of his man instead.

His affairs delayed, the people of the Chen Family were useless, and Dragon and Tiger Hall deserving death, couldn't they have waited another day to move against the Chen Family?

As for the near-annihilation of the Chen Family, he didn't care in the slightest.

In his eyes, the Chen Family was nothing more than a small pawn.

"Now I have to find someone else to do the job." In the end, the young man muttered softly with resignation and picked up the phone again to make a call.
