After obtaining the hard drive, Long Xiao no longer made things difficult for Zheng Tai. The gambling ship docked at the port at five in the morning.
Only after Long Xiao and his group drove away from the pier did Zheng Tai breathe a sigh of relief, muttering to himself, "With someone like that in the Martial Alliance, I can't afford to provoke them anymore."
"Young Master Zheng, are you scared?" Gui Tian Qiuer suddenly appeared behind Zheng Tai and asked.
Zheng Tai glanced at Gui Tian Qiuer and said, "It's all the trouble your island nation caused. Who wouldn't be afraid of someone like that?"
"Hu Lei isn't scary. Without the Martial Alliance backing him, he's just a construction worker. It's Long Xiao who's scary; that guy is simply inhuman."
"Who is Long Xiao? Is he very powerful?" Zheng Tai asked.
Gui Tian Qiuer nodded and said, "He is terrifying."
"Is Long Xiao from Donghai?"
Gui Tian Qiuer nodded again and said, "Yes, he's from Donghai. He came to Port City a few days ago to treat Huo Zhen's illness. I don't know if he's left yet."
"There are 300,000 islanders in Donghai, and you can't even deal with one Long Xiao. You're too incompetent."
"We're incompetent, but you can't even handle Hu Lei, and you call us incompetent."
"I will make him pay sooner or later. Our island nation cannot afford to lose face to a construction worker."
Long Xiao and Xiao Ming parted ways at the pier. Long Xiao noticed that Xiao Ming and Pu Suying were getting along very well, with a hint of reluctance to part.
"Suying, let's go. If we don't leave now, you'll get your butt spanked," Long Xiao shouted loudly.
"My brother Xiao Ming wouldn't spank me. Hmph, when I find that guy, I'll have my brother Xiao Ming beat him up."
After Pu Suying got into the car, Long Xiao smiled helplessly and started driving.
Having made a fortune on the gambling ship, Long Xiao was in a very good mood. The next day, he booked a restaurant and treated all the Martial Alliance disciples in Port City.
Originally, Long Xiao planned to stay in Port City for a few more days, waiting for the Huo family to stabilize before leaving.
Just after lunch, Long Xiao received a call from Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan informed him that Nangong Yue was missing.
Although Nangong Yue hadn't treated him very well, she was Lin Xuan's mother. If anything happened to her, Lin Xuan would be heartbroken.
Lin Xuan told Long Xiao that Nangong Yue had joined a tour group for a seven-day trip to Southeast Asia. For the first few days, she called the Lin family every evening to tell them where she was and what she had done.
Last night, Lin Xuan didn't receive a call. When she tried to contact Nangong Yue, her phone was turned off.
This morning, Lin Xuan called Nangong Yue several times, but her phone remained switched off. She realized that something might have happened, which was why she contacted Long Xiao.
Long Xiao comforted Lin Xuan, saying, "Don't worry, I'll head to Dakang City in Indonesia today. I'll definitely find Mom."
"Long Xiao, I've already booked my flight. I'll meet you in Dakang City."
"Lin Xuan, you shouldn't go. I'll take Xiao Ming with me..."
"No, I have to go. I'll contact you when I get there."
Lin Xuan hung up the phone. Long Xiao knew he couldn't persuade her, so he didn't call her back.
Long Xiao contacted Xiao Ming, Luo Tianshui, and Ye Xiao, asking them to book flights to Dakang City, Indonesia.
Long Xiao explained the situation to Luan Jiping, asking him to help distract Pu Suying so he could find an opportunity to remove his human skin mask.
Long Xiao arrived in Dakang City the afternoon of the next day. As soon as he exited the airport, a short man walked towards him.
The short man had dark skin and a thin build, resembling a monkey.
"Boss, traveling alone? I can help you find a hotel," the short man said, his Mandarin not very good, requiring Long Xiao to listen carefully.
Long Xiao wanted to refuse the short man and took out his phone to contact Xiao Ming and the others to meet up.
"Boss, I know Dakang City very well. I can be your guide if you're here for tourism."
Long Xiao looked at the short man and asked, "Have you ever been a guide for tour groups from China?"
"Of course, I have. Many tour groups look for me to lead them. I'm what you Chinese call a 'dai lu dang' (guide)."
Long Xiao looked at the young man who called himself a 'dai lu dang' and asked, "Can you introduce me to the tourist attractions in Dakang City?"
Seeing that Long Xiao hadn't walked away, the short man felt there was hope and began to describe the various tourist spots in Dakang.
As they walked, Long Xiao listened to the short man's descriptions.
After listening, Long Xiao suddenly asked, "Who has the most power in Dakang City?"
The short man was taken aback and said, "Of course, it's Lord Nino. Lord Nino is the boss of Dakang City; even the mayor has to salute him."
"You're not lying to me, are you?" Long Xiao asked.
The short man patted his chest and said, "Of course not. If I'm lying, may I die a terrible death."
Long Xiao waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop swearing. Take me to Nino's house."
"Boss, do you know Nino?" the short man asked.
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "No."
"You don't know Nino, but you dare to go to his house? Aren't you looking for death?"
"It's none of your business whether I'm looking for death or not. Take me to him," Long Xiao said in a commanding tone.
The short man was a bit displeased and said, "If you're looking for death, I don't want to die. I'm leaving."
As the short man turned to leave, Long Xiao instantly appeared in front of him and said, "Do you think you can leave?"
"Why can't I leave? You're not a god."
The short man turned to leave again, but after taking just one step, he bumped into Long Xiao.
The short man was greatly surprised. He took another step, but again, he bumped into Long Xiao.
After several attempts, every time the short man took a step, he would run into Long Xiao. He began to feel scared.
"Who are you, and why are you blocking me?" the short man asked loudly.
Long Xiao chuckled and said, "I am who I am. Do you think you can leave without my permission? Take me to Nino's house, or you won't be able to leave."
The short man seized the opportunity while Long Xiao was speaking and turned to run. However, after just a few steps, he was sent flying and fell heavily to the ground.
After Long Xiao's "treatment," the short man was terrified and reluctantly agreed to Long Xiao's request.
The short man drove a beat-up Nissan. The car swayed and made a rattling noise constantly, feeling like riding in a sieve.
After driving for over an hour, the Nissan stopped in front of a huge manor.
The short man pointed to the large gate in the distance and said, "That's Nino's manor. I don't dare to go any further."
Long Xiao got out of the car, patted the short man on the shoulder, and gave him a hundred-dollar bill. The short man took the money and stared blankly as Long Xiao walked towards Nino's manor.
Four armed guards at the manor entrance immediately aimed their guns at Long Xiao when they saw him and ordered him to stop.
Long Xiao unleashed his five-element qi. The guns in the hands of the four guards instantly flew out of their grasp, hovering in the air and pointing at their heads.
"Tell Nino to come out and see me."
"Who are you? How can you do this?" one of the bolder guards asked, looking at Long Xiao and then at the hovering guns.
Long Xiao smiled and said, "Obey my command, or I'll shoot."
The four guards retreated tremblingly and called to notify Nino.
