Chapter 459: Chapter 423: The Horn of Counterattack

The next morning, Lin Yun visited Li San and others again.

After a night of torment, Yang Hong’s spirit collapsed completely, and he revealed everything:

Long Yu had promised the leader of White Reaper that if he could regain control over the Longhua Association, he would reshuffle the entire underworld of Los Angeles and take over the Los Angeles arms market, with White Reaper becoming the sole supplier.

"Two years ago, White Reaper undertook a deal and unexpectedly took over two large weapon manufacturing plants, capturing a group of professionals. With such resources, not only does White Reaper no longer lack weapons, but they also have surplus weapons available for sale. The leader didn’t want to waste such great resources, so he thought about dipping into the arms trade. However, the arms business in the Middle East had been monopolized by many big powers and was completely unapproachable, so the leader wanted to try other sales channels."

In the bedroom, a bruised Yang Hong, whose face was nearly beyond recognition, said weakly to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun, "So Long Yu helps White Reaper expand the market, and White Reaper lends him forces to clean up the underground forces in Los Angeles?"

Yang Hong, "Yes."

Lin Yun pondered for a moment, then asked, "Can you get in direct contact with the leader of White Reaper?"

Yang Hong hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

Lin Yun, "How do you contact him?"

Yang Hong, "Using a satellite phone, the one I carry with me."

Lin Yun turned to someone beside him and instructed, "Go get his phone."

He then turned to look at Yang Hong, "Contact him now, I want to talk to him."

Yang Hong, "Okay."

Someone handed the satellite phone to Yang Hong, and Lin Yun watched him, "You only have one chance, don’t try anything funny."

Yang Hong swallowed, nodding, "I understand."

He took the phone and dialed a number.

After fifteen seconds with no answer, Lin Yun snatched the phone and hung up.

"Motherfucker, you wanna die!" Xiao Bai yelled ferociously, holding a gun to Yang Hong’s head.

"He will call back! He will call back!" Yang Hong quickly shouted.

"He often has things to do, he might not always carry the phone, but he will definitely call back once he sees the missed call!"

Lin Yun didn’t hesitate and ordered, "Take him, let’s change locations."

He also instructed a minion to take the satellite phone and head to another place.

Ten minutes later, Lin Yun led Yang Hong and a group of people to a safe house in a nearby block, while the minion with the satellite phone went elsewhere.

The group sat in the room in silence, time ticking away.

Two hours later, Lin Yun’s phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Boss, someone’s calling."

"Good, turn on the speaker and put the phone close to the satellite phone."

"Understood."

Lin Yun stood up and walked over to Yang Hong, turning on the speakerphone on his own phone, his gaze sharply piercing as he looked at Yang Hong.

Xiao Bai held the gun directly against Yang Hong’s head.

"Yang?" a voice came from the other end of the phone.

Yang Hong replied in English, "Boss, it’s me."

"What’s the matter?"

Yang Hong glanced at Lin Yun, "The Hall Master of Hongmen Zhiqing Hall wants to talk to you."

A brief silence followed on the phone.

"Are you in their hands?"

"... Right."

"Waste!"

"...."

Just as Yang Hong was about to speak, Lin Yun had already taken back his phone, turned off the speaker, and said, "Captain Henry, this is Lin Yun, Hall Master of Zhiqing Hall, I’d like to talk business with you."

"Why should I talk with you?" Henry asked.

Lin Yun smiled, "I know, Long Yu promised to help you expand the market, that’s why you lent him your men."

"But there’s one thing you must know, in the United States, we Hongmen are the biggest underground force. Collaborating with the Longhua Association is far less beneficial than working with us at Zhiqing Hall, and with Hongmen!"

Henry: "It seems Yang has told you quite a bit."

Lin Yun glanced at Yang Hong, who was sweating profusely, and smiled, "He just helped you find a better partner."

Henry: "Since he’s already told you, then you should understand, since Dragon is my deputy leader, why should I give him up and turn to work with you?"

"Because of the benefits!" Lin Yun emphasized.

"I can tell you that the arms market in Los Angeles is much bigger than you imagine. If you work with me, I can handle any amount of goods you produce, and the price will definitely be higher than what Long Yu has offered you!"

Henry: "We have never dealt before; I don’t know you, and you don’t know me, how do we ensure cooperation?"

Lin Yun laughed, knowing the other party was already interested by saying this.

"I can prepay 30% of the payment!" Lin Yun decisively said, "Captain Henry, that’s my sincerity."

"..." Silence fell on the other end of the phone.

After just a few exchanges, without even discussing the specific price, Lin Yun was willing to pay 30% in advance, which meant at least hundreds of millions of US dollars—an incredibly sincere gesture.

Lin Yun continued, "As long as Captain Henry nods now, send me an account, and I can transfer the money immediately."

Henry: "Aren’t you afraid I’ll break the agreement?"

Lin Yun: "It doesn’t matter. Even if you break the agreement, I’ll just lose a few hundred million US dollars. Afterwards, I will unleash the power of Hongmen to completely annihilate the Longhua Association and your White Reaper in Los Angeles!"

Henry: "Hall Master Lin, as far as I know, the Longhua Association is currently dominant. Are you so confident about taking down Dragon and my men?"

Lin Yun: "Long Yu has the White Reaper behind him, but I have the entire Hongmen behind me. The outcome is still uncertain. However, I am certain that all the men you have sent now will die!"

"..."

Lin Yun: "Captain Henry, choosing to help Long Yu will definitely result in significant losses and the outcome is uncertain; you might end up with nothing. But if you choose to help me, Long Yu is guaranteed to lose!"

"One side is an unknown outcome, the other is a hundred percent victory and greater benefits. I think Captain Henry will certainly not make the wrong choice."

Li San watched silently as Lin Yun spoke with Henry, secretly admiring.

Lin Yun, among all the hall masters of American Hongmen, was the youngest and had the lowest combat power.

Yet such a person was able to firmly control Zhiqing Hall, commanding a group of fighters to follow him; Li San now understood why.

"Hall Master Lin, Long Yu once saved my life; he’s my brother in life and death," Henry said on the phone.

Lin Yun narrowed his eyes, "So?"

Henry said fiercely, "You’ll have to pay more!"

Lin Yun was stunned.

Henry: "Prepay 50% of the payment first, then we’ll talk about the specifics of the cooperation."

Lin Yun’s smile brightened: "No problem!"

He walked out of the bedroom and had a lengthy chat with Henry outside before coming back in, smiling at Li San: "Master Li, next we can consider how to encircle and annihilate Long Yu."

Li San nodded; Zhiqing Hall had been struggling under Long Yu’s attacks recently, and now it was finally time to sound the trumpet of counterattack.

PS: The following plot will involve the underworld, of course; it won’t turn into a gangster novel, the theme is still martial arts, I will strive to write an exciting story.
