Chapter 410 - 293: I’m Taking Her Away! Who’s For It, Who’s Against It?

Chapter 410: Chapter 293: I’m Taking Her Away! Who’s For It, Who’s Against It?

Huang San’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

With his temper, he was itching to leap up and slap Tang Wen to death.

He’d teach him that no matter how formidable a Seventh-Grade warrior might be, they couldn’t withstand a single slap from a Fifth-Grade master.

But after his chest rose and fell in a violent heave, he forced himself to swallow his pride.

For no other reason than this: of the four White Tigers present, two were staring intently at him.

If he dared to make a move against Tang Wen,

the two White Tigers would surely attack him.

What else could he do but endure?

President Feng glanced at Huang San. Seeing that he said nothing, he naturally kept his mouth shut, even unconsciously swallowing.

Only one White Tiger was staring at him, but one was more than enough.

Seeing Tang Wen speak so domineeringly in front of all of Ganshan City’s top brass, the bewitchingly charming Feng San Niang couldn’t help her slender body from trembling.

’Dominant!’

’So incredibly dominant!’

Her long, shapely legs couldn’t help but press tightly together. She tilted her head slightly, gazing at the sharp angles of Tang Wen’s side profile, the passion in her eyes almost overflowing.

If the line she shouted when she jumped from the building, "If I can’t marry Tang Wen, I’d rather die," was mostly an act...

...then now, those words were a true reflection of her feelings.

If it weren’t for the improper setting, she would have already made a move on him.

"Since no one objects, I’ll be taking her with me! But let me be clear: if you don’t speak up today, and come looking for me later, I won’t acknowledge it!"

Tang Wen stared directly at Huang San, a cold sneer plastered on his face.

’The Huang Family already tracked me to my own den!’

’Today they tried to win over the Black Water Gang’s ally, the Commerce Association. The hostility between us is already out in the open. What’s the point of hiding it?’

From now on, aside from his Cultivation, Tang Wen’s main focus would be dealing with the Huang Family.

Provoked like this by an absurdly young kid, a mere Seventh-Grade weakling, Huang San, who had been arrogant for half his life, finally couldn’t take it anymore!

BANG!

He smashed the table in front of him with a single palm strike, but before he could make another move,

two White Tigers from behind Tang Wen instantly leaped to stand in front of him!

Their amber pupils were locked onto Huang San.

Huang San froze instantly.

Tang Wen saw through his bluff. With a soft chuckle, he didn’t even spare him another glance, simply carrying Feng San Niang and striding out.

Shui Qianjun, Patriarch Zhang, Director Zhao, and the others looked at Huang San with mockery in their eyes.

’Is that all he’s got?’

Huang San’s face turned beet red. Watching Tang Wen’s retreating back, he finally managed to squeeze out a threat: "Young man, don’t be so arrogant!"

Tang Wen glanced back over his shoulder. "If you’re not arrogant, can you still be called young?"

Huang San choked on his words.

Cradling the beautiful woman in his arms, Tang Wen strode away with a flourish.

Once he was a good distance away,

the White Tigers withdrew.

"That little scoundrel has gone too far!" Huang San stomped his foot with a THUD, and the ground shook.

Shui Qianjun’s expression turned cold as he stared intently at him.

Huang San met his gaze without showing any weakness. "The entire city’s younger generation is about to enter the underground trial. With everyone here today, I’ll make a wager. Shui Qianjun, do you dare to take it?"

Water Gang Leader sat firmly in his chair, casually picked up a peanut, leaned back, leisurely shelled it, tossed it into his mouth, and began chewing with a CRUNCH, CRUNCH.

He didn’t say a single word, which nearly drove Huang San mad with rage.

Shui Qianjun snorted. "Your son tried to forcibly marry my disciple’s woman, and I haven’t even settled the score with you, yet you’re the one getting worked up! Heh, go on, let’s hear it."

As a dignified Fifth-Grade master, Huang San’s vision went black for a moment. Gritting his back teeth, he said, "Fifth-Grade masters are not allowed in the Underground Trial. So, let Tang Wen compete with my son. If Tang Wen wins, my son will kneel and admit defeat! If Tang Wen loses, I want him to come to my family’s main gate and kneel in apology!"

"In your fucking dreams!" Shui Qianjun shot to his feet.

"Wh-what did you say?!" Huang San’s eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.

Shui Qianjun said, "Huang San’Er, your son is trash. My disciple is a genius!

How can they possibly compare?

I’ll make a proposal too. You have seven sons. Bring them all out.

My disciple will pick any two of them for a two-on-one fight.

If he loses, I’ll even kneel to you on his behalf.

How about it? Do you dare?

That third son of yours, didn’t he reach Sixth Grade long ago? Isn’t he hailed as a genius? Drag him out for a deathmatch!"

After being cursed at, Huang San’s lungs were about to explode with rage, yet he didn’t dare to agree and was left speechless.

He knew his own family’s business best.

Although he had seven sons, three of them were at the Sixth Grade.

Among them, his third son was a Senior Sixth Grade.

In terms of age and Talent, he was definitely considered a genius in the Inner City.

But compared to Tang Wen,

it was like comparing a firefly to the bright moon.

Having witnessed Tang Wen’s fight against Saintess Hu Lan,

he understood that with Tang Wen’s unsolvable Invisibility Technique, he was invincible against anyone below the Fifth Grade.

And his Sword Gang, combined with his terrifying Hidden Weapon skills, could kill any Sixth-Grade Master.

Huang San’s face alternated between green and white. He turned and stormed off.

"That Old Huang really has a temper."

"At his age, all that anger is bad for his health."

"The old coot still thinks things are the same as before!"

Watching Huang San’s retreating back, Shi Lei, Director Zhao, and Patriarch Zhang made sarcastic remarks without holding back.

Huang San, who had just leaped into the air, staggered and nearly fell headfirst out of pure rage.

"Old Shui, does this mean we’ve completely torn all pretense apart?"

Shui Qianjun turned his head. The one who spoke was the Horse Gang Leader.

"You’ve overlooked one thing."

"What’s that?"

Shui Qianjun said, "Huang San’Er is only one of the Huang Family’s helmsmen, not the Patriarch whose word is law."

The Horse Gang Leader and the other members of the Neutral Faction nodded in sudden understanding.

That’s right. Knowing the Huang Family’s ways,

if the Black Water Gang, the Giant Rock Martial Arts Hall, and the Zhang Family truly gained control of Ganshan City’s power structure in the future, they would absolutely throw Huang San out as a scapegoat.

Shui Qianjun then turned to President Feng, whose expression was uncertain. "Old President, whether you admit it or not, we’re family by marriage now!"

President Feng glanced at him. "So, does that mean Tang Wen can be considered my son-in-law from now on?"

Although he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and single-mindedly desired a secret life-extending technique,

seeing that his secret deal with Huang San was falling through, he wondered if he could perhaps get some benefits from Tang Wen’s side.

’But even if the White Tiger Tribe has a life-extending technique, their tribe is full of masters. Would it ever be the turn of an old Fifth-Grade man like me?’

"That depends on what you do from now on." Shui Qianjun exchanged a look with the few people beside him.

Patriarch Zhang said impassively, "Whatever the Huang Family promised you, I can responsibly tell you that you will definitely not get it."

President Feng didn’t speak, nor did he refute it.

Patriarch Zhang continued, "The Huang Family has too many masters, too many members of their Direct Lineage. Unless someone is willing to give up their share, an outsider will never get anything. A benefit that could move you, President Feng, is certainly no common thing. Do you think someone would be willing to give it up?"

President Feng’s expression didn’t change, but his eyes flickered slightly.

’Willingly?’

’Who on earth would willingly give up a chance at a longer life?’

Patriarch Zhang and Shui Qianjun looked at each other, having said just enough.

The Huang Family had always been known to take more than their fair share.

Their reputation in Ganshan City was average at best.

The crowd dispersed.

President Feng looked at the messy table full of cups and plates, sighed, and drank another cup of cold wine.

A gust of winter night wind blew in, making him shiver involuntarily.

Suddenly, a voice sounded:

"Old Feng. Don’t be nervous, it’s me."

President Feng spun around nimbly and saw a figure cloaked in a black robe.

"Who are you?"

"Alas, after so many years, you can’t even recognize an old friend!"

President Feng’s expression was uncertain, his eyes narrowing to a slit.

He was silent for a long moment, not saying a word.

"It seems you’ve recognized me!"

"This is impossible! It can’t be the person I’m thinking of!" President Feng propped himself up with a hand on the table, using the support to hide his trembling.

"Hehe, and why is that?"

"I saw him die in the underground with my own eyes!"

"It was near-death."

"His heart was ripped out, and he had a thumb-sized hole in his neck! How could he live?! Even a Fifth-Grade master would be doomed, with only enough time to say some last words!"

The figure slowly raised a hand and removed the black robe covering his body.

President Feng fell back into his chair.

"Th-you! It really is you! You... but, how did you survive? And why do you look like this?"

"This is the price of being saved. I was on the verge of death. It was my Third Brother Huang who, disregarding everything, used a secret family treasure to pour Life Force into my body. Old friend, the reason I came to see you tonight isn’t to scare you, but because I can no longer see the sunlight. Otherwise... *sigh*. The longevity item that Third Brother promised you originally belonged to me. But in this half-human, half-ghost state I’m in... I’ve lived long enough!"
