Chapter 105: Famous Throughout the Eastern Seas
The two mighty enforcers stared in disbelief at Lin Le standing before them.
At that moment, Lin Le clamped the blade in his mouth, his eyes fixed on the dual-blade man with a cold, glacial stare.
Merely meeting that look sent a chill crawling up the dual-blade man's spine.
Then a faint, sinister smile touched Lin Le's face. Before the two enforcers could grasp the meaning of that eerie smile, there came a crisp crack. With a slight exertion of his jaw, Lin Le bit down and the steel blade in his mouth was shattered to pieces!
"What?!"
This time, even the two mighty enforcers cried out in alarm.
Yao Kun, Guan Tianxiong, and the others nearby all drew a sharp breath.
As for One-Eyed Mao and the rest, they were so shocked they seemed to have seen a ghost.
To bite through a steel blade with his teeth was wholly beyond anything they could have imagined, let alone understood.
"Y-You... just what are you?" the dual-blade man shouted in disbelief at Lin Le.
Lin Le spat out the fragments and said in a low voice, "A Haizhou man."
The instant those words left his mouth, the long-gathered inner force in Lin Le's hands burst forth. A tremendous power erupted from the condensed energy within.
With two deafening booms, the weapons trapped in the air current were violently shattered by the force of that inner energy!
At the same time, the explosion of true qi sent the two mighty enforcers flying backward.
Looking at them now, both had been struck by flying shards across the front of their bodies, blood streaming down in torrents.
Whether they would live or die was hard to say, but they had certainly lost any ability to fight back.
He had defeated two mighty enforcers in a single blow. The entire crowd erupted at once.
"Good! Wonderful!" One-Eyed Mao was the first to shout in delight.
The Haidong bosses were all overjoyed as well.
In one night, the Crimson Blossom Society had lost its four strongest enforcers. It was like having both of Miao Shouren's arms and legs broken; no matter how heaven-defying he might be, he would never again stir up trouble in Haizhou.
Lin Le looked down at the two bloodied men lying on the ground and said coldly, "Now do you still dare say that no one in Haizhou can be found?"
The two mighty enforcers, their bodies riddled with shards and their screams turning to pained cries, no longer dared utter a single word of defiance.
"Go back and tell Miao Shouren this: within three days, he is to lead everyone in the Crimson Blossom Society and get the hell out of Haizhou on his own. Otherwise, when I throw him out myself, he will not be so lucky."
"Let's go."
With that, Lin Le did not spare them another glance and turned to leave.
Yao Kun, Guan Tianxiong, and the rest of the Haidong bosses followed behind him as they headed out.
Before leaving, Guan Tianxiong gave Fire Bull a meaningful look.
After Lin Le and the others had gone, Fire Bull finally limped forward and looked at the Crimson Blossom Society men, who had already been frightened witless by Lin Le's methods, with a cold sneer.
"Come on then. Let them see how formidable a Haizhou man can be!"
At Fire Bull's command, the Tianxiong Gang members, who had long been burning with resentment after being bullied by the Crimson Blossom Society, could hold back no longer and charged at them.
Cries of agony rang out as those men were swallowed by the crowd.
At the entrance of the Grand Noble Bar, Lin Le stood with his hands in his pockets, flanked by a crowd of burly men behind him. The scene was magnificent to behold.
After this night, even if Miao Shouren still refused to withdraw from Haizhou, the momentum of the entire Crimson Blossom Society had already been utterly checked.
Stepping out of the Grand Noble Bar, Yao Kun, Guan Tianxiong, and everyone else remained shaken and excited for a long time before they could calm themselves.
It could be said that tonight Lin Le had single-handedly taken on the entire Crimson Blossom Society.
In the eyes of those present, Lin Le was now little short of a deity.
"Mr. Lin, we are truly grateful for your help tonight!" Guan Tianxiong said, his voice trembling with excitement.
Had tonight's matter not been resolved properly and reached Fourth Master Gu in the capital, his days as leader of the Tianxiong Gang would have been over. Luckily, Lin Le had appeared, allowing him to keep his position. Naturally, his heart was full of respect for Lin Le.
"It was nothing," Lin Le said lightly.
"However, I hope you will remember the promise you made me." Lin Le was, of course, referring to their promise to behave themselves in Haizhou from now on.
"Of course! I would never dare go back on it!" Guan Tianxiong said earnestly.
"We also wish to thank Mr. Lin for taking action!" Yao Kun said as he cupped his hands and bowed respectfully.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your help!" One-Eyed Mao and the others also bowed to Lin Le with utmost reverence.
After what had happened tonight, they had already been deeply shaken by Lin Le's strength. In their hearts, they held him in the highest awe.
There was no doubt that after tonight, the name of Mr. Lin would shake the whole of Haidong.
"You're too polite, everyone. If there's nothing else, I'll be heading back first."
With that, Lin Le was about to leave on his own.
But at that very moment, a furious rebuke suddenly rang out.
"Lin Le! So it really is you!"
Lin Le turned his head and saw a tall, striking figure standing there, glaring at him with undisguised anger.
No one else but his cousin, Lin Xueling.
At that moment, Lin Xueling was dressed in a sky-blue tracksuit. The fitted training pants outlined her long, slender legs in graceful curves, while the open collar of her top revealed a pure white athletic camisole and, within the neckline, a glimpse of her snow-white, proud figure.
She had evidently just been exercising; faint beads of sweat glistened on her forehead and the nape of her neck, and the loose hair falling across her brow was damp with perspiration, making her whole being seem both vibrant and alluring.
She had only been out on a nighttime run and happened to pass by here. Seeing so many people gathered, she thought some excitement must be unfolding and glanced over.
That glance would have been fine, if only it had not instantly sent her into a rage.
She saw Lin Le chatting and laughing with a crowd of underworld figures, and Lin Xueling immediately went ballistic.
"Cou—" Lin Le froze as well, never expecting to run into this woman here in the middle of the night.
Before he could even get the word "cousin" out, Lin Xueling grabbed his ear in one hand.
"Lin Le, you promised me you would never mix with these underworld people again!" she said, hauling him by the ear with the air of someone demanding an accounting.
Guan Tianxiong, Yao Kun, and the others exchanged glances, not knowing where this suddenly appearing woman had come from.
"You... let me explain..." Lin Le cried out, clutching his ear.
Damn it, this woman's grip was no joke. Good thing he was still a grandmaster of the transcendent realm, or his ear might have been torn clean off.
"Explain? What is there to explain? Save it for your mother!" Lin Xueling said without the slightest politeness.
"Hey, you—you... who are you to talk to Mr. Lin like that?" One-Eyed Mao could not stand it and pointed at Lin Xueling.
"Who I am is none of your damn business! Don't think I'll be afraid just because there are more of you! I'll have you know I know Hero Xiong from South City!" Lin Xueling declared, hands on her hips, full of confidence.
"Pfft..." Guan Tianxiong nearly spat blood on the spot, becoming an innocent casualty of her words.
"Hahaha... she knows Hero Xiong... hahaha..." One-Eyed Mao and the others burst out laughing at Lin Xueling's claim, all of them teasingly glancing at Guan Tianxiong. Guan Tianxiong looked utterly embarrassed, wearing a wry smile.
Still, they could all tell that this girl was probably Mr. Lin's friend or something, so none of them pressed the matter further.
Lin Xueling paid them no mind, only thinking they had been frightened senseless by Hero Xiong's reputation.
"Hey, you... do you realize you're making me lose face like this?" Lin Le said weakly as Lin Xueling kept hold of his ear.
Tonight he had fought the four mighty enforcers and been treated like a deity by the Haidong underworld, and yet the glorious, towering image he had just built for himself was shattered in an instant by this woman...
"Face? You still know what face is? Wait till I call your mother and see whether you still care about face then!" Without another word, Lin Xueling dragged Lin Le away by the ear.
