Chapter 484: The Ferocious Dragon Crosses the River!
Before Shen Hao could even speak.
Right then, the blonde next to him—eager to impress Pao—quickly piped up.
“Pao, he’s definitely full of shit. Back at that barbecue stall, he was bullshitting these two chicks, talking about casually doing billions in business. Billions! In US dollars! Even robbing banks isn’t that profitable!”
“And if he really was the Shen family’s young master, would he be discussing big business over skewers and beer in that dump? If he was that badass, that good at making money, even Bill Gates would be offering him cigarettes!”
“He’s just a freeloading blowhard trying to act important! That car he’s driving is probably rented just to look good!”
The blonde’s little speech instantly dispelled all of Pao’s doubts.
Exactly! Truly elite second-generation rich kids discuss billion-dollar deals in private clubs or luxury hotels, not at night markets.
And to be overheard by a few of his punk subordinates?
That was a supreme insult to the upper crust!
Besides, even the Shen Group doesn’t make billions a year, right? In US dollars.
This kid’s composure had to be an act!
Those two chicks probably were too!
The thought that he—a seasoned crime boss—had almost been intimidated sent a wave of shame through Pao.
“Fuck! Damn it! Nearly got conned by a bullshitting deadbeat like you!”
“Where’s the stuff?! Hand it over! Don’t blame me for getting nasty if you don’t!”
The moment the words left his mouth, the thugs behind Pao pressed forward with steel pipes and machetes.
“You hear that, kid? Pao’s talking to you!”
“Don’t wanna die? Then hand over the stuff quick, and maybe have these two chicks drink with us. Might save you a few broken bones!”
“From now on, no more bullshitting. South City doesn’t allow anyone who bullshits better than our Pao!”
“???”
“………”
Shen Hao remained unmoved: “What if I don’t? You really dare to touch me?”
Though he appeared calm, inside he was starting to panic.
After all, Gu Yebai still hadn’t shown up with his people. He had no confidence!
Shen Hao’s attitude completely enraged Pao. The man was losing patience. With a wave of his hand:
“Motherfucker! Don’t appreciate a face-saving offer!”
“Fuck him up! Chop his hands off first! Let’s see if he hands over the stuff then!”
The thugs at the front heard Pao’s order and immediately raised their weapons, preparing to strike Shen Hao and the others.
Seeing the thugs suddenly charge forward, Zhu Silin and Bai Shisui’s faces showed alarm. They were genuinely terrified by these gangsters.
They hadn’t expected them to actually attack.
Without a second thought, Shen Hao immediately shielded the two women, adrenaline surging. Only one thought remained in his mind: Gu Yebai! Where the fuck are you?!
At this critical moment.
“HONK————!”
A blaring car horn suddenly sounded from behind Pao and his crew.
Everyone froze, turning in unison.
Down the road, two massive beams of light—thick and bright enough to blind—brutally tore through the darkness, illuminating the entire factory district like daylight.
The intense glare made all the thugs squint and raise their hands to shield their eyes.
Immediately after, a hulking black Cadillac Escalade ESV, like a mobile fortress, barreled forward at a nearly savage speed!
Behind it came a second, a third, a fourth—an endless stream of vehicles!
Sedans and luxury coaches alike.
“SCREEECH!”
“SCREEECH!”
Ear-piercing brakes squealed one after another.
“SLAM!”
“SLAM!”
“SLAM!”
“…”
Doors opened continuously, and countless youths in matching black suits poured out.
Ten, fifty, a hundred, three hundred, five hundred, eight hundred…
Their numbers kept growing, seemingly endless!
In just a few dozen seconds, Pao and his hundred-odd thugs were completely submerged and surrounded by a black sea of people that stretched to the horizon.
A mountain of people, impassable and watertight!
The once-arrogant South City thugs now knew only terror. Some even trembled in their boots.
Though they lived the gang life, they’d never seen so many black-suited gangsters gathered in one place.
It was terrifying!
Just the numbers alone—had to be over a thousand, right?
Pao’s expression was a sight to behold, etched with fear.
He’d kicked a titanium-steel wall.
Right now, he wanted to tear that blonde punk limb from limb!
If that bastard hadn’t kept bullshitting him, how would he be in this dead end?
He wanted to hack that blonde to pieces!
If that damn dog hadn’t set him up, would he be in such a passive position?
Plus, this scene, this feeling—it gave him a sense of déjà vu.
It was eerily similar to the time he’d gotten screwed over in Pearl City.
Only when he saw the familiar dragon emblem on the black suits’ chests did his pupils violently contract.
No! Not similar!
It was fucking them!
At that moment, a tall figure emerged from the crowd.
The moment Pao saw that face, his brain exploded with a deafening ring!
It was her! It was actually her!
Yu Xin—the woman from Pearl City who’d given him nightmares for months!
How could she be here?
Shouldn’t she be in Pearl City?
And what did she want, bringing so many Wanlong Society members to South City?!
Yu Xin stopped a short distance from Pao, eyeing him with a faint smile.
“Well, well. Who did I think it was, making such a grand entrance?”
“If it isn’t Pao? What, tired of eating prison food in Pearl City, so you came to South City for a change of scenery?”
She paused, as if suddenly remembering something, and quickly covered her mouth in mock embarrassment.
“Oh dear, look at my memory. I almost forgot this is South City—your territory.”
“Since it’s your turf, how could we make you welcome us?”
At these words, she suddenly spread her arms wide, making a gesture almost identical to the last time.
“It should be us who says…”
“Welcome home, Pao!” Over a thousand Wanlong Society members shouted in unison.
The sound rolled like thunder, crashing down on Pao and his crew like a tidal wave—utterly terrifying!
Pao’s legs buckled. With a thud, he dropped to his knees: “Yu… I… I didn’t know they were your people… this… this is all a misunderstanding… a misunderstanding!”
Though he’d brought quite a few men, Wanlong Society had more—ten times more!
And he’d experienced the combat prowess of these black-suited warriors last time. How dare he fight them?
He finally understood now why Shen Hao had been so fearless, and why it was so ‘coincidental’ that he’d taken his bag and lured him to this remote location.
All of this—everything—was a setup by Wanlong Society!
How fucking devious!
Pao couldn’t help but look up at the dark sky and the black tide of people before him.
He felt he’d guessed why Wanlong Society had suddenly brought so many people to South City.
Six words summed it up—The Ferocious Dragon Crosses the River!
