Chapter 724: Chapter 702:

Bang...

A shot was fired, and the bullet struck the faltering Think Tank, killing him instantly. Think Tank collapsed, and Zhang Bufen was terrified, his soul scattering. Nearby, guards tightly protected Zhang Bufen and frantically shot toward Zhang Dadan and his group, trying to use firepower to get Zhang Bufen onto a truck.

Zhang Bufen jumped onto the truck, and his followers quickly boarded. Over two hundred rushed over in a hurry, but only about twenty hurried away. Although more than a hundred didn’t die, Zhang Bufen had already abandoned them. This was a significant blow to them.

Sitting on the truck, Zhang Bufen was restless, angrily saying, "Who in the world are these people?!"

"Big Brother, aren’t they from the Fierce Tiger Gang?" a little brother quickly asked.

"No, it couldn’t possibly be the Fierce Tiger Gang!" Zhang Bufen said through clenched teeth. "They must be a third party."

"Ah? Then... who could it be?" his followers were puzzled.

"Hmph, we’ll investigate when we get back!" Zhang Bufen was furious. He didn’t blame this failure on his impulsiveness. Even without the third party’s involvement, Zhang Bufen’s own men could never have defeated Hei Hu’s Fierce Tiger Gang. If it hadn’t been for Zhang Dadan’s involvement, Zhang Bufen would probably have been killed today. So, in a way, Zhang Dadan’s actions today were akin to saving Zhang Bufen.

The scene was littered with batches of corpses and the painfully howling little brothers. They saw Zhang Dadan and others arrive, then started screaming, "Save me, save me, take me to see a doctor!"

"Big Brother, what should we do with these half-dead people?" the scar-faced man urgently asked.

"Let’s finish what we started, send them off once and for all," Zhang Dadan waved his hand dismissively.

"Alrighty!" the scar-faced man grinned, then quickly ordered his men to finish off those who hadn’t died with another shot.

"Big Brother, the stuff is here!" One little brother immediately shouted.

"Damn, let’s check out the stuff!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Dadan couldn’t hide his elation, rushing forward. Many little brothers crowded around; there were more than ten bags of treasures, all packed in sturdy nylon bags, each quite heavy. Zhang Dadan immediately instructed his followers to open the bags.

Whoosh...

As soon as the followers opened the bags, their eyes gleamed with greed. They stared in astonishment at the gold jewelry stuffed inside as if it was worthless dirt, not just gold jewelry but also heaps of expensive diamonds, jewelry, jade...

"My god, that’s a lot of money!"

"No kidding, I’ve never seen so much money in my life!"

"Even the biggest jewelry store in Hong Kong wouldn’t have this much!"

The little brothers discussed among themselves, unable to resist reaching out to touch the treasures, but Zhang Dadan scolded them, "What are you doing?! Don’t mess around at a time like this. Everyone will have a share, but it’s not the time to divide them now. We need to move fast and transport them back, otherwise, once they regroup, we won’t be able to escape!"

"Right, right, we need to go now!" The little brothers nodded hastily.

Then, more than ten bags were quickly loaded onto vehicles and transported away overnight. The site was left with only a pile of corpses.

Hei Hu and his men had run a few kilometers away when something felt off— the enemy hadn’t pursued them. Hei Hu immediately ordered a rest, and over two hundred people crouched in the dark jungle to rest. Hei Hu recalled how panicked and terrified Zhang Bufen was when he saw the assailants, so he deduced that those people were not there to support Zhang Bufen.

"Damn, we’ve been tricked!" Hei Hu slapped his head, angrily said, "Quick, let’s head back!"

Saying this, Hei Hu immediately led a large group back to the scene. However, by the time they arrived, the treasures they had seized had vanished, sending the little brothers into a frenzy: "Shit, they’ve taken all our stuff!"

"Damn it, they came for our treasure!" Hei Hu became furious.

"Big Brother, what do we do?" the little brothers were depressed. The Fierce Tiger Gang had spent so much, sacrificed so many men to seize so much treasure, and now, everything was back to square one; all their treasures were easily carted away, along with the lives of hundreds of sacrificed little brothers.

"Check, get to the bottom of it!" Hei Hu instantly gritted his teeth, his already dark face now blacker than ever.

Hei Hu was furious. He detested those who profited from the chaos, just like jackals stealing food from the hands of other predators. If the items had been moved by Zhang Bufen’s men, he would have had no complaints, as Zhang Bufen had paid a great price during this battle, having lost more than a hundred little brothers’ lives. However, it was clear that it wasn’t Zhang Bufen’s men who acted but rather a third party lurking at the scene.

...

News of Zhang Bufen’s defeat quickly reached Central, but Elder Liu did not rebuke him. Instead, he encouraged him, telling him that the road to success was paved with countless failures. Drowning his sorrows in alcohol, Zhang Bufen wondered why Ye Chen’s journey had been so smooth, as if he had never encountered any trouble at all.

Had Ye Chen really encountered no trouble? On the contrary, everything seemed smooth simply because Zhang Bufen had not seen the difficulties faced by Ye Chen, nor had he seen Ye Chen’s failures. The troubles Ye Chen faced were a thousand times greater than Zhang Bufen’s.

Upon receiving the news, Ye Chen revealed a smirk.

"Heh heh, Brother Chen, in my opinion, Zhang Bufen taking on Hei Hu is simply like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!" Feng Zhixiao, holding a handful of peanuts, said with a laugh, "Hei Hu is cunning by nature, and since his comeback, he’s even stronger than before. Ordinary people probably can’t match him!"

"Exactly!" Liu the Tyrant grinned and said, "I’ve had my clashes with Hei Hu before, and he’s really something!"

"Enough, Hei Hu has nothing to do with us!" Ye Chen tossed a peanut into his mouth, then chewed and said, "All we need to do is watch the tigers fight from the mountain, and besides, we have our own troubles. Shaw will surely bring the news back to the Church Court, and I wonder what means they will use to deal with us this time?"

"Heh heh, who knows?" Feng Zhixiao grinned.

...

Shaw returned to the Church Court, covered in dust, and reported to the Old Madam, who immediately flew into a rage and scolded Ye Chen for being too audacious, daring to challenge the authority of the Church Court. Old Madam immediately ordered, "This time, we must make Ye Chen pay. Go on, I will personally order Morris to deal with Ye Chen!"

"Yes!" Shaw retreated.

Morris was one of the three White Robed Sect Leaders of the Church Court, merely an Italian woman with blond hair and blue eyes, a charming beauty with a devilish figure, probably irresistible to most men. Her specialty was the Bewitching Technique, which allowed her to kill a man during intimacy. Similarly, the Bewitching Technique was one of the martial arts techniques of the Church Court, making many unable to contend against it.

"Sister, it’s terrible!" In the Temple of the Gods, a woman clad in white and veiled in white silk hurried toward a room.

"What’s wrong, Xiao Ke?" the red-clothed woman inside the room asked urgently.

"Sister, grandma has decided to send Morris to deal with Ye Chen!" the white-clothed woman said urgently.

"Huh?!" The red-clothed woman was stunned, exclaiming, "How could this be?"

The two women were thrown into panic; once Morris made a move, it seemed the situation was already half resolved. The tasks handled by Morris had never failed before. If Morris were to take action this time, Ye Chen was most likely doomed.

"I... I don’t know either!" the white-clothed woman quickly waved her hands, then said, "Today, after Shaw returned and reported to Old Madam, she was so furious that she decided to send Morris."

"Damn it, I must warn Ye Chen!" the red-clothed woman immediately said.

"How can that be okay? If grandma finds out, you’ll have nowhere to be buried!" the white-clothed woman hurriedly said.

"Hmph, death is fine. Without Ye Chen, life means nothing!" the red-clothed woman bit her red lips.

"Sister, have you really decided?" the white-clothed woman asked.

"Yes!" the red-clothed woman nodded.

"Alright, here in the Temple of the Gods, I’ll try my best to cover for you!" the white-clothed woman said helplessly, "I just hope those two malicious women don’t find out about this!"

The malicious women the white-clothed woman referred to were Morris and another White-clothed Great Master, Brofei. Morris and Brofei were always the arch-rivals of the red-clothed woman and the white-clothed girl. Although they served within the Church Court, they were always competing secretly. Both wanted to bring down the red-clothed woman. They never really recognized her status.

"Mhm!" the red-clothed woman nodded.
