Chapter 481 I want to find a quiet place
For a moment, the silence in the arena was so intense that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone could sense the sharp edge in Huo Han's words. Zhao Hu's expression shifted repeatedly, from surprise to anger to resentment.
"Huo Han!" Zhao Hu stood up and slammed the table. "I admit that there are some frictions between our gangs, but in the underworld, no one can always have the final say."
You are helping to gain the upper hand now, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want and insult everyone present.”
Huo Han sat leisurely, his hands folded on the table, "Boss Zhao, I just want to remind you that we are all part of the underworld.
The Jianghu has its own rules. Today, I, Huo Han, am here to say that I hope everyone can abide by the rules that have long been agreed upon.
The other leaders in the field also frowned. Huo Han's words were clearly a warning to them, to make them understand the importance of rules. Such words could not help but make people feel a little bit of awe.
A middle-aged man, wearing the insignia of the White Cloud Gang, said slowly, "Huo Han, are you saying that we haven't been following the rules all these years?"
Huo Han smiled slightly, "That's not what I meant. But I just feel that some things have gone too far recently."
Zhao Hu snorted coldly, "When you say 'overdoing', do you mean the meeting we planned?"
Huo Han looked directly at Zhao Hu. "I think all of you bosses are sensible people. If you have any plans, it would be best if everyone laid them out clearly on the table."
Another old man, with gray hair and the Cuihua Gang logo on his back, said slowly, "Huo Han, do you think we are all hostile to you?" Huo Han shook his head. "That's not what I meant. It's just that some things are better resolved sooner rather than later."
Zhao Hu sneered, "Huo Han, you are so confident, do you think you can deal with all the gangs present by yourself?"
Huo Han looked at him calmly, "Boss Zhao, I just want to maintain peace in the martial arts world. I don't want unnecessary bloodshed to occur because of some trivial matter."
The atmosphere in the arena intensified, but Huo Han remained unfazed, his expression unwavering. His every word was like a sharp blade, piercing the hearts of the crowd. Every (CBCI) boss present could sense that this young leader was no easy opponent; he possessed both wisdom and skill.
Huo Han's fury erupted the moment Zhao Hu said, "Don't play dumb." In a flash, he was in front of Zhao Hu. His fist struck Zhao Hu's face like lightning, knocking him to the ground.
"You..." Before Zhao Hu could get up, Huo Han kicked him again, pinning him firmly to the ground.
There was a commotion in the arena. Zhao Hu, the boss of the Black Tiger Gang, was usually so imposing and commanding, but now he was defeated so directly by Huo Han. This was a great humiliation.
Zhao Hu's minions rushed forward, shouting, trying to rescue their leader. However, Huo Han's gang members were more agile and beat them all in an instant, forcing them to flee in panic, some even falling to the ground.
Huo Han stood up, glanced around the room, and said in a cold voice, "I'm just letting you know that there are some things in the martial arts world that are best not to be provoked lightly. I, Huo Han, am not someone who can be easily bullied."
He turned to Zhao Hu and said, "Boss Zhao, I showed mercy today only because we still have some affection for each other. But I warn you, there will be no such thing next time.
What good luck.”
He patted his clothes and turned away in a domineering manner. Huo Han's gang followed closely behind him, each of them showing a look of pride and confidence.
Inside, the remaining people were stunned, and few dared to help Zhao Lu up. They had intended to discuss how to deal with Huo Han at this meeting, but they hadn't expected Huo Han to knock them over. This was a sheer disdain and humiliation for all of them.
"This Huo Han..." a boss said indignantly, "He's too arrogant."
The other boss sighed, "He is worthy of being the heir of the Huo family, he has such strength."
Zhao Hu raised his head in pain, his face filled with anger and resentment. "He...he thinks this will make us all afraid of him~?"
"At least for now, I think we dare not provoke him casually for the time being." A boss said quietly.
The atmosphere was heavy. Their original plans had been completely disrupted, and everyone seemed more aware of Huo Han's threat. Despite their discontent, they also knew that confronting Huo Han head-on was not a wise option.
Finally, the meeting ended, and the people from each gang dispersed and left, but the shock that Huo Han brought to them could not dissipate for a long time.
Li Yue stood up, looked at the leaders of the various gangs, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone, today's events are very clear. Emotions are a bit heated right now, so it's not appropriate to continue the discussion. Let's meet again another day."
His tone was so indifferent, as if Huo Han's actions had not affected him at all. But everyone could see the unfathomable wisdom in his eyes.
"Everyone, disperse." Li Yue waved, signaling everyone to leave. He pulled out his phone and quickly sent a message to his gang leader, Tenglong: "Something has changed today. Don't come."
Outside the venue, Huo Han and his group were preparing to leave when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure—Teng Long. Teng Long was walking hurriedly, seemingly on his way to a meeting. Upon seeing Huo Han, Teng Long frowned slightly, but didn't stop.
Dust drifted, a gentle breeze blew, and Tenglong's suit jacket swayed gently in the wind. He looked directly at Huo Han, a cold glint in his eyes, as if he was deep in thought. Huo Han stood there.
Huo Han didn't seem to be planning to let him go easily. He quickly walked up to Teng Long and blocked his way. "Teng Long, you've come just in time. The meeting just now was very interesting."
Tenglong glanced at Huo Han indifferently and shook his head: "I don't have time to play with you."
But Huo Han's eyes were sharp. He pointed at the phone in Tenglong's hand and sneered, "It seems that you already know what I just did. Did your secretary Li Yue tell you not to come over?"
… ·………
Tenglong paused, then turned on his phone. Indeed, he had received Li Yue's message. He took a deep breath and looked at Huo Han coldly. "Huo Han, what you did today will soon make you regret it."
… …
Huo Han shrugged disapprovingly: "I just did what I thought was right. As for the consequences, we'll wait and see."
A flash of anger flashed in Tenglong's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it: "Huo Han, I have no hatred or resentment towards you. But if you do this, I'm afraid you will get into trouble." Huo Han chuckled: "Get into trouble? So, you old guys really plan to harm me?"
Tenglong looked at Huo Han for a moment, then slowly said, "You know exactly what you did. However, I advise you not to get too entangled with me. I'm not your enemy, and I don't want to be."
Huo Han sneered: "Remember, Tenglong, I have never regarded you as an enemy. But if you intend to harm me, I will make sure you pay the price."
After a moment, Tenglong took a deep breath and asked, "Huo Han, you are a smart and capable young man. I was once that age too, wanting to dominate the martial arts world. Have you ever considered that you could gain so much more by joining us?"
Huo Han chuckled softly. "Tenglong, I'm well aware of what you've been up to. It's all done behind the scenes, hidden from the public eye. I, Huo Han, have my own path, and I won't be associated with you."
Tenglong "Six Ninety"'s eyes turned cold and stern, and he said in a low voice: "Huo Han, don't be too arrogant. In the martial arts world, sometimes it's better to be tough than to be soft-hearted."
Huo Han smiled faintly and looked at Tenglong with a squint: "Tenglong, maybe you are old and can no longer see the world clearly. But I will tell you that every step I take is my choice, no matter whether there are thorns or a flat road ahead."
Tamron took a deep breath, a hint of unwillingness in his eyes: "We could have been friends."
Huo Han shook his head: "We have never been friends, let alone enemies. We just walk our own paths. You respect my choice, and I will respect yours."
Tenglong looked at Huo Han for a moment, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Then, I hope we don't become enemies in the world." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked into the car. The window slowly rose, leaving only dust and oil smell at the rear of the car.
Huo Han watched Tenglong's car drive away and sighed slightly. He didn't take Tenglong's warning seriously, but he knew that the situation in the martial arts world was far more complicated than he knew.
However, he had a belief in his heart, that is, to go his own way and let others talk. He turned around and walked towards his car, ready to face new challenges.
Huo Han's car slowly drove along the densely forested path, his mind remarkably calm. Disrupting the meeting was only the first step; the next step was to find out what these gangs were planning. Inside the car, the low-key background music made Huo Han's mind even more peaceful.
Tenglong sat in his luxurious office. He waved his hand, and his assistant handed him a detailed document. "Send a few people to keep a close eye on Huo Han. I want to know his every move."
"Yes, Boss Teng." The assistant nodded and left quickly.
Tenglong's influence spread far and wide throughout the city, and he had plenty of means to deal with Huo Han. He didn't dare act rashly, but he wouldn't let Huo Han escape his sight easily...
Huo Han's intuition had always been sharp, especially after so many years of navigating the underworld. As his car reached the city, he vaguely sensed someone following him. A sly smile curled his lips.
At an intersection, Huo Han deliberately stopped for a red light, then suddenly decided to turn around. The following vehicles suddenly became flustered, and Huo Han took this opportunity to quickly disappear into the busy traffic.
Tenglong's face darkened when he received the news. He knew Huo Han was not an easy opponent to deal with, but he was not the kind of person who gave up easily.
Huo Han parked in front of a small bar. He got out and pushed open the door, filled with familiar singing and smiling faces. He found a corner, sat down, and ordered a drink. He needed a place to think carefully about his next move.
The bar owner was an old friend of Huo Han. Seeing Huo Han, he walked over and asked, "Huo Han, how are you doing lately? I heard that you had a conflict with Tenglong?"
Huo Han smiled faintly, "It's an old thing. I came here just to find a place to be quiet."
The boss nodded and said, "Don't worry, this is your territory. No one dares to cause trouble for you."
