Chapter 1504 - 1503: Bloody Battle at the Cheng Family (Part 1)

After hearing Ma Hongyi's words, Lin Fan didn't answer right away. He took a deep drag on his cigarette, then said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Cheng Family already knows that Lin Bai is here in the Hall of Justice."

"When Lin Bai and I left, there was no one tailing us!" Lin Ya said.

"Don't forget, this is Demon Island, turf of the Four Great Powers. It's like being in the East Sea—do you really think someone hiding in the East Sea could slip past a full sweep?" Lin Fan said, giving an example.

Hearing this, Lin Bai and Lin Ya both fell silent.

The Four Great Powers on Demon Island are basically everywhere; if they want to find someone, all it takes is a bit of time. They'll definitely track you down.

"So what do we do now?" Ma Hongyi asked.

"Are the brothers all ready?" Lin Fan asked.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, everyone's already gathered around the headquarters. As soon as the Cheng Family shows up, we'll fight them to the death!" Ma Hongyi said.

"Yeah! That's right! All these years, the Four Great Powers have been pressing us down. I've had enough. If they dare to come, we fight them to the bitter end!" Ma Hongfei shouted angrily.

These years, the Four Great Powers have kept the Four Big Thug Gangs suppressed; almost every year they have to pay tribute, and they're constantly being bullied. No one can tolerate that.

"A fight to the death is putting it mildly. If the Cheng Family dares to come, I'll make sure they take a heavy hit," Lin Fan said with a faint smile, his face full of confidence.

Liu Yang had been gone for three days already. According to Lin Fan's calculations, today should be the day he returns.

As long as Nie Lei and the brothers of the Suicide Squad make it to Demon Island, forget the Cheng Family—even against the strongest Li Family, Lin Fan has the confidence to fight them head-on.

"Bang bang bang~"

Suddenly, a series of knocks sounded at the door.

"Come in!" Ma Hongyi said immediately.

With the sound of the door opening, a young man pushed the door in, looking clearly flustered.

"Boss, bad news—there's a crowd gathering outside headquarters, they're Cheng Family people!" the young man said hurriedly.

Hearing this, Ma Hongyi's expression instantly hardened. He looked urgently toward Lin Fan. He hadn't expected Lin Fan's prediction to be dead on.

Today was the third day. Lin Fan had said before that at most three days, the Cheng Family would definitely come knocking. Now reality proved his forecast right.

"Hmph! Perfect timing. Let's rush out there and fight them to the death!" Ma Hongfei, hot-tempered as ever, roared.

Lin Fan waved his hand, signaling everyone not to act rashly, then asked the young man, "Have all our brothers been mobilized?"

"The brothers at headquarters have already charged out. The ones nearby have been notified and should be on their way soon!" the young man reported honestly.

"Send someone to notify the nearby brothers—tell them not to rush over just yet," Lin Fan suddenly said.

Hearing this, Ma Hongyi looked puzzled and asked, "Mr. Lin, you mean…?"

Lin Fan took a deep drag on his cigarette and said, "Once we start fighting, wait ten minutes, then have those brothers rush in. That way we can form a pincer attack and surround the Cheng Family's people."

"Mr. Lin, that's brilliant! Do exactly as Mr. Lin planned!"

Ma Hongyi praised him, then immediately turned to give orders to the young man.

"Got it!"

The young man nodded, then hurriedly left the restaurant.

Lin Fan continued, "The Cheng Family must have plenty of Qi Gong Masters, while most of our guys are just ordinary men. So even if we manage to surround them, it'll be hard to wipe them out completely. Send ten men to the docks. Once they see Liu Yang and the others, bring them straight back here."

"Understood!" Ma Hongyi didn't dare delay. He nodded and quickly walked out of the restaurant to pass the orders to his subordinates.

"Let's go. Since the Cheng Family has come knocking, we might as well go greet them."

Lin Fan gave a faint smile, flicked away the cigarette butt from his lips, then stood and walked out of the restaurant. Lin Bai and the other three followed close behind.

Once they stepped out of the Hall of Loyalty and Justice headquarters, they saw that the front of the small building was packed with figures.

The brothers of the Hall of Loyalty and Justice stood in two rows, completely sealing off the small building, at least seventy or eighty men.

Seeing Lin Fan and the others coming, the crowd quickly opened up a clear path. Lin Fan didn't hesitate, leading Lin Bai and the rest straight to the front line.

At that moment, spread out in front of Lin Fan's group were more dense ranks of figures. At a glance, it was a sea of heads, two to three hundred men, all with vicious looks on their faces.

The two sides glared at each other. The fight hadn't started yet, but the air was already thick with gunpowder; the atmosphere was taut as drawn swords, and a brutal battle could erupt at any moment.

At the front of the crowd, a car was parked.

Even though the car's windows were covered with curtains, Lin Fan's sharp eyes could still clearly make out a figure sitting inside.

And in front of the car stood Cheng Batian, a huge blade slung over his shoulder.

"Ha ha! Lin Bai, didn't expect we'd be meeting again so soon!"

Seeing Lin Bai, Cheng Batian immediately burst into loud laughter.

But Lin Bai didn't respond at all. He clenched his fists tight, his expression solemn and steady. Powerful Qi was already surging through his body, and he was fully prepared to strike at any moment.

Lin Fan looked at Cheng Batian with a smile and said, "Didn't expect Mr. Cheng to be someone who breaks his word. That really makes me see you in a whole new light."

"Who are you?"

Cheng Batian stared at Lin Fan, frowning, feeling that he looked somewhat familiar.

"I'm the Gang Leader of the Hall of Loyalty and Justice," Lin Fan said without hiding it.

This time, he was fighting on behalf of the Hall of Loyalty and Justice. There was no point in keeping his identity secret anymore.

"Isn't the Gang Leader of the Hall of Loyalty and Justice Ma Hongyi?" Cheng Batian said in surprise.

"It used to be Ma Hongyi. Now, it's me," Lin Fan replied.

"Hmph! I don't care who you are. Hand Lin Bai over nicely, and I can spare your Hall of Loyalty and Justice from being wiped out," Cheng Batian said arrogantly. "Lin Bai is my brother. If I hand him over to you, wouldn't that be selling him out? I admit I don't have Mr. Cheng's kind of viciousness. Betraying a brother—now that's something I simply can't do."

A playful smile tugged at Lin Fan's lips.

But after hearing this, Cheng Batian's face twisted into a savage scowl.

First Lin Fan had called him a man who breaks his word, and now he said he'd never do the kind of brother-betraying thing Cheng Batian did. It was an obvious, sharp-edged jab at Cheng Batian.

"Hmph! I don't care who you are. Anyone who dares to block my way will be killed without mercy!" Cheng Batian roared.

"In that case, Mr. Cheng, go ahead—make your move."

Lin Fan showed not a hint of fear. Instead, he hooked his finger at Cheng Batian, full of provocation.

"You're courting death!"

Cheng Batian bellowed, swung up the big blade in his hand, and charged straight at Lin Fan.
