Chapter 98: Chapter 86 Invitation

Lin Yuan mixed the tea, and vaguely saw a large group of the Lotus Gang members, porters, and others, hurriedly heading toward Li’s Alley.

Lin Yuan no longer paid attention, his eyes gazed at the bustling street, continuously pondering in his mind.

Wu and Han dared not speak more about Lin Yuan’s handling, and could only accompany him quietly, waiting in silence.

*********

The residence of the Lotus Gang’s Vice Gang Leader is located on a secluded hill by the dock. This spot faces the Huai River, backed by green mountains, possessing excellent feng shui.

At this time, the Hall Master, dressed in a Confucian scholar’s attire, was listening to the complaints of Cheng Xiongjia, the Vice Gang Leader of the Lotus Gang. A person resembling a strategist attentively listened behind Cheng Xiongjia.

Although Cheng Xiongjia was the Vice Gang Leader of the Lotus Gang, his face resembled that of an old farming peasant, dark-skinned and shiny, but the murderous intent in his eyes signified his extraordinary aura.

He looked serious, and after hearing the report from his subordinates, he nodded slightly.

"Vice Gang Leader Cheng, please come forward and warn that Lin Yuan. Otherwise, it’s tough for the brothers to act." The Hall Master empathized with the role of his subordinates, pouring out all his grievances.

"I have heard of Lin Yuan’s reputation and strength, daring to fight and kill, he’s a good hand. You did well not to provoke him." Cheng Xiongjia’s voice was deep as he praised.

Cheng Xiongjia then extended his right hand, asking the maid beside him to pour tea for the Hall Master.

The scholar took it, drank the cool tea, and half of his restless heat dissipated.

"Since he acts this way, let’s take a step back. I’ll send an invitation tomorrow and have a talk with him, then draw a line with him." Cheng Xiongjia pondered slightly, then said.

"Thank you, Gang Leader." The Hall Master was overjoyed hearing this.

Mission accomplished, as the person was preparing to leave, someone walked out from the gate and reported.

"Vice Gang Leader, an emergency has occurred. That Lin Yuan, for some reason, forcibly broke into Hall Master He’s territory and demanded they hand over the twelve girls from last night." The man swiftly stepped in front of Cheng Xiongjia and said.

The scholar’s face changed upon hearing this, wasn’t that his territory?

"How dare he be so arrogant, ignoring the rules, acting as if the Lotus Gang is nothing!" He angrily cursed, expression full of indignation.

"Old He, don’t get angry." Cheng Xiongjia’s face turned solemn as he heard this.

"You go back first, don’t conflict with him. Meet any demands Lin Yuan has." Cheng Xiongjia thought and continued, "Tomorrow might be too late, arrange immediately for tonight, invite Lord Lin to the West Garden for some wine."

"This?" Hall Master He was a bit hesitant.

He was quite familiar with Gang Leader Cheng’s character, who typically wouldn’t endure in such situations—was Lin Yuan really so formidable?

"Don’t delay, go get it done quickly." Cheng Xiongjia saw his hesitation and said blandly.

Hall Master He came back to his senses, hurriedly bowed, and exited the courtyard.

When his figure disappeared, the person dressed as a strategist finally spoke, "Gang Leader, why not secretly strike? Kill him. Leaving him there to stir trouble weakens our gang’s reputation."

"Old Luo, killing Lin Yuan is easy, but dealing with the academy is difficult. Moreover, the gang is in turbulent times, and it’s crucial not to create more trouble." A hint of killing intent flashed deep in Cheng Xiongjia’s eyes.

This was merely the reason he told the elder, the real reason being the fear of killing Lin Yuan and disrupting his plans.

Word had already come from Huaining Hall, instructing him to eliminate Lin Yuan at an appropriate time.

The latter, unaware of these internal affairs, could only nod in agreement.

"Old Luo, how is the eldest lady’s affair handled nowadays?" Cheng Xiongjia changed the conversation.

"Ma Qinsong loves young girls, especially children; many beauties have been sent over, and he is quite fond, already under control." Old Luo replied confidently with a light smile.

"Good, tonight is just right, I will personally meet this person." A dark shade flashed in Cheng Xiongjia’s eyes, the wrinkles on his dark face deepened.

If this matter is achieved, no matter Ao Daguang or Sun Guangchun, layer three of the Condensing Yuan, they can all be killed.

Teahouse.

About an hour later.

"Sir, the Lotus Gang has reported that all the girls have been returned to their families, and please, sir, move there." Wu Yangqing whispered in Lin Yuan’s ear.

Lin Yuan nodded, stood up, and walked towards Xu’s Alley.

As soon as he got downstairs, the scholar-dressed Hall Master He immediately wore a flattering smile and greeted him.

"Lord Lin, everything has been settled according to your instructions." Hall Master He smiled ingratiatingly as he approached.

"Lead the way."

Lin Yuan stopped, sized the man up and down, then said indifferently.

Seeing Lin Yuan’s lofty demeanor, a flicker of killing intent crossed Hall Master He’s eyes, but he hid it well and cupped his fists to lead the way upfront.

Once again, they arrived at Li’s Alley. By this time, all sorts of foul odors had been driven away, and the paths washed clean with water where the golden liquid had been spilled.

"Thank you, thank you, sir." A household woman continuously kowtowed toward Lin Yuan.

Originally, her family was on the brink of collapse, but Lin Yuan brought them hope. Half an hour ago, members of the Lotus Gang had brought both medicine and money, making her unable to believe her eyes.

Lin Yuan nodded, paying particular attention to several families from which the girls had gone missing.

Those young girls, frightened the previous night, were asleep in their mothers’ arms.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan felt somewhat at ease. Seeing these girls sleeping sweetly, he felt some comfort in his heart; perhaps this was the result of his efforts.

After passing a few places, the condition of girls from two households drew Lin Yuan’s attention.

The two little girls were especially delicate but invariably dull-eyed and expressionless, with deep fear lingering in their eyes. Their bodies trembled incessantly, as if they had undergone many terrifying things.

"What is going on?" Lin Yuan’s face turned cold, and killing intent surfaced in his eyes.

"Sir, this... I really don’t know." Hall Master He felt the murderous aura from Lin Yuan, his hair stood on end, and his back was soaked.

Learning of Lin Yuan’s actions on his territory today, he understood that Lin Yuan’s strength far exceeded his estimation.

"Where were they sent last night?" Lin Yuan interrogated.

"To the West Garden." Hall Master He didn’t dare look at Lin Yuan.

"West Garden?" Lin Yuan’s eyes flickered with intense killing intent.

The West Garden was a bustling brothel owned by the Lotus Gang; with the current circumstances, the outcome for the two girls was predictable after being sent there.

"How do you want to die?" Lin Yuan approached step by step.

"Spare me, sir." Hall Master He pleaded continuously with cupped hands: "I truly knew nothing about this."

"The Gang Leader has also set a feast at the West Garden tonight, inviting you for dinner." Hall Master He tried to smile, hoping Lin Yuan would spare him.

"Dinner!" Lin Yuan approached, sneering coldly: "Your Gang Leader Cheng is so enthusiastic; I’ll also have a meal with you."

"How could I dare?" Hall Master He thought Lin Yuan was letting him off, relieved in his heart.

The next second, Lin Yuan’s face suddenly changed.

"A last meal, whether you want it or not."

With a swift strike, Lin Yuan’s palm descended onto Hall Master He’s head like ghostly shadow.

Hall Master He was taken aback, trying to dodge. But given Lin Yuan’s current strength, where was there room for him to evade, and in an instant, he saw only darkness.

Thud!

A muffled sound exploded from Hall Master He’s head, his head nowhere to be seen.

Even in death, he couldn’t understand why Lin Yuan dared to kill him, and why he couldn’t even resist.

Lin Yuan killed their Hall Master with a single strike.

Behind, those thugs were silent with fear, staring intently at the hall master’s headless corpse as it slowly fell.

Lin Yuan turned, his eyes coldly sweeping over the gang members.

These people were like harmless lambs before him, but they showed their claws to ordinary citizens. Usually committed numerous evils, truly deserving death.

"Leave none alive!" Lin Yuan’s eyes flashed with cold light as he spoke coldly.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Hearing the words, Wu Yangqing and Han Zhong drew their swords, fiercely slashing, and at the entrance of Li’s Alley, heads rolled like waves, blood flowing like rivers.
