With a "bang," Lin Tiatian was sent staggering back several steps by Lu Yang's punch, finally slamming into the wall with his last palm strike to stabilize himself.
However, Lu Yang didn't stop there and clenched his fist, attacking Lin Tiatian again.
Lin Tiatian had no choice but to brace himself and meet the assault. After more than ten exchanges, Lin Tiatian finally couldn't sustain the physical strain. He shouted loudly, "This is enough!"
"Kid, you are indeed formidable. I am no match for you. The Hongmen Jiang Province branch, I will no longer manage it. You can do as you please!"
"Good. With your word, you can leave with peace of mind!" Lu Yang said directly.
"Kid, let me give you some advice. Although no one in the Jiangbei branch is your match, the Hongmen is vast. Hongmen has followers all over the world, and its headquarters are located in the United States, with countless powerful experts surrounding it. Even the strongest in the underworld serve the Hongmen. If you tamper with the Hongmen Jiang Province branch, the Hongmen will not let you go!" Lin Tiatian said to Lu Yang.
"Thank you for your advice, but some things must be done, even if it means offending the powerful and influential!"
"The Hongmen is powerful, but this is China, a country governed by law. China has its own legal system, and we cannot tolerate scum worse than pigs and dogs running rampant. Since no one can deal with them, I will!" Lu Yang said calmly to Lin Tiatian, his eyes showing no hesitation or fear.
"Alas, kid, when I was young and impetuous, I was no different from you. It's just that the years are ruthless, and some things are beyond what you or I can change!"
"My words are spoken. You decide for yourself!" Lin Tiatian sighed heavily and left the room with his disciples.
"Old Lin, you can't leave! Save me, save me..." Wang Jinian shouted loudly as Lin Tiatian prepared to leave, but Lin Tiatian ignored him and left without looking back.
Lu Yang's gaze swept across everyone in the room, and he said with a cold smile, "The expert you invited has been driven away by me. What other tricks do you have now?"
"If you have none, then accept my judgment!"
"You... What do you want to do?"
"I'm telling you, the Hongmen Jiangbei branch doesn't just have Elder Lin. There are many other experts like him. If you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll make you regret ever coming into this world!" Wang Jinian roared at Lu Yang.
"Regret? When you and your son came into this world, did you ever think about regretting it?"
"When you harmed those innocent people, did you ever think about whether they regretted it?"
"You always act high and mighty, treating ordinary people like ants and infringing upon them at will. But in my eyes, aren't you also like ants!" Lu Yang sneered, naturally holding Wang Jinian in contempt.
"You... If you dare to touch me, I will ensure you have no place to be buried!"
"And all your family will be buried with you for your foolish actions!" Wang Jinian's heart filled with fear after hearing Lu Yang's words. However, he remembered that he was the esteemed president of the Hongmen Jiangbei branch. No matter how powerful Lu Yang's martial arts were, he wouldn't dare do anything to him. With the Hongmen as his backing, Wang Jinian still had this confidence.
"The thing I hate most is when people threaten my family!" Lu Yang said, then stomped his foot on Wang Jinian's chest. With a slight exertion of force, Wang Jinian felt as if his internal organs were about to be crushed.
However, Lu Yang did not kill Wang Jinian. He was unwilling to be stained with so much blood. Instead, he turned his attention to Liu Hui, who was standing nearby.
"Liu Hui, I'll give you two experts. Do you have the confidence to take control of the Hongmen Jiang Province branch within a month and become the new president of the Hongmen Jiangbei branch?" Lu Yang asked Liu Hui directly.
"What?"
"I... I become the president of the Hongmen Jiang Province branch?" Hearing this, Liu Hui was stunned. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about becoming the president of the Hongmen Jiang Province branch. It was just that the Jiangbei branch was too powerful. To become president, he needed the full support of the Jiangbei, Jiangzhong, and Jiangnan sub-branches, as well as enough strength to make everyone in the Hongmen submit. With Liu Hui's current strength, it was impossible. However, if Lu Yang were willing to help, this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"That's right. Don't worry, my subordinates will help you get everything done!" Lu Yang continued to Liu Hui.
"Good. With your words, Boss, I will definitely become the president of the Hongmen Jiangbei branch. If I fail, I will come to you with my head!" Liu Hui said with burning eyes.
"Good. These people are all yours. How you deal with and utilize them is up to you!"
"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. No need to see me off. Deal with your internal affairs first. Tomorrow morning, two experts will come to find you!" After speaking, Lu Yang left the headquarters of the Hongmen Jiangbei branch. With the place now handed over to Liu Hui, Lu Yang felt relieved.
At this moment, at the Jiangbeishi Police Department, a man dressed in black entered carrying two burlap sacks.
"Who are you?" The police department personnel felt an immediate threat upon seeing the man and stepped back, asking, "Who are you?"
"I'm looking for Director Cheng Wanyun." Dark Night Pluto said directly.
"Stay right here. I'll go in and inform her!" The police officer agreed, then hurried into Cheng Wanyun's office and described the situation at the door. When Cheng Wanyun came out, she recognized Dark Night Pluto at a glance.
"Dark Night Pluto?"
"It's you?" Seeing Dark Night Pluto before her, Cheng Wanyun was greatly surprised. If Dark Night Pluto hadn't intervened to save her yesterday, she might not have been able to escape.
"The two assassins from last night have been killed by me. These are their bodies. I know these bodies are very important to you, so I've brought them to give to you!" Dark Night Pluto said to Cheng Wanyun.
"Thank you, Dark Night Pluto!" Cheng Wanyun immediately expressed her gratitude.
"Jiangbeishi has been rather turbulent recently. Please inform your people to be careful when responding to calls." After saying this, Dark Night Pluto turned to leave.
"Pluto, can I ask you for one thing? Join my family. Rest assured, our Cheng family will treat you with the status of a guest minister!" Cheng Wanyun knew that she was currently weak and needed to recruit capable individuals, and she had always valued Dark Night Pluto.
"Sorry, no interest!" Dark Night Pluto refused directly without looking back. Hearing this, Cheng Wanyun frowned. She hadn't expected that her Cheng family couldn't even recruit Dark Night Pluto.
