Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 254: The Two Evils of Fan Long

Puzzled, Lin Kuang dried his hands and answered Zhang Lianmei's call. "Hello, Lianmei," he said with a laugh.

On the other end of the line, a smile blossomed on Zhang Lianmei's face when she heard his voice. It was as if his words alone were enough to bring her joy.

"Mr. Lin, this morning, Chu Zhongtian gathered Wang Ya Hao, Huang Zelun, Zhao Shunyang, Ye Tiannan, Liu Dong, and that Chen Shaowen at Xiangya. Based on my assessment, it's highly likely they're planning to move against you, so you must be careful," Zhang Lianmei said softly, her voice filled with undisguised concern.

Hearing this, Lin Kuang's heart stirred. He smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Lianmei. How has the Eagle Sect been doing lately?" he asked as he walked.

"Things are going well. We've mostly gone legitimate. We've had some minor friction with the Chen Gang, but it's not a major issue. Chen Jiachong doesn't seem to want a conflict with our Eagle Sect, so both sides are exercising restraint for now. However, one mountain cannot contain two tigers. It might not be long before the Eagle Sect has to face off against the Chen Gang. I'm afraid that's inevitable," Zhang Lianmei said thoughtfully after a pause.

Hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded. "Alright. If you need me for anything, just ask."

"Yes, I'm afraid we'll need your help when the time comes," Zhang Lianmei said with a smile.

"Don't mention it. Lianmei, I'll be leaving East Sea for a few days starting Monday. During that time, could you have your people keep an eye on Liu Shilin, Liu Shiyu, and Lin Guo'er for me? I'm a little worried they might run into trouble while I'm gone. Of course, it's just a hunch, and nothing might happen, but I'd appreciate your help," Lin Kuang said with a laugh.

Leaving East Sea, his biggest worry was those three.

"Alright, don't worry. With me here, I'll make sure nothing happens to them," Zhang Lianmei said earnestly.

"Good. Let's leave it at that for now. Give me a call if anything comes up," Lin Kuang said cheerfully.

"Okay. Goodbye, Mr. Lin," Zhang Lianmei replied with a laugh, though her voice carried a hint of reluctance.

Lin Kuang chuckled, hung up the phone, and walked into the villa.

By then, it was already afternoon. The three women were famished after splashing around in the water for hours. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Should we go out to eat?" Lin Kuang suggested.

"Yeah! I'm starving right now," Lin Guo'er chimed in with a laugh, still in her swimsuit.

"Great. Go take your showers and change. I'll wash up too, and then we can head out," Lin Kuang said with a smile.

The three women nodded in agreement and went upstairs. Lin Kuang took a quick shower in the downstairs bathroom before returning to his room to change. After getting dressed, he sat in the living room and waited for about half an hour before the three women came downstairs.

Looking at the three meticulously dressed women, Lin Kuang felt a surge of pride. Having three such gorgeous beauties with me is a real honor. The average person doesn't get a privilege like this.

With that thought, Lin Kuang led the three women out to find a place to eat.

「Meanwhile, a private plane arrived in East Sea.」

Standing beneath it were Fan Sheng, Fan Bin, and Fan Ting, making it clear that the passengers were from the Fan Family. After the plane came to a stop, two men in black emerged, followed by a young man in his twenties. The two men looked to be in their forties, their expressions as cold and indifferent as gods of slaughter.

Upon seeing Fan Sheng, Fan Bin, and Fan Ting, the two men bowed. "Second Young Master."

They paid their respects only to Fan Sheng, completely ignoring Fan Bin and Fan Ting. However, Fan Bin and Fan Ting seemed accustomed to this and paid it no mind.

Fan Sheng nodded without saying much, though he was inwardly shocked. These two were no ordinary men. They were known as the Cold-faced Fiends, a pair of lethal enforcers who had often eliminated the Fan Family's hidden obstacles. He hadn't expected the Family Head to send them; after all, these two represented a considerable force within the Fan Family.

"Second Brother, we meet again," the young man from the plane said, looking at Fan Sheng. His tone was one of feigned politeness, laced with disdain.

Upon seeing this, Fan Ting was instantly displeased. If Fan Long's father wasn't the Family Head's brother, what would he even be? Of course, she conveniently overlooked Fan Long's actual abilities. While he might be a bit of a wastrel, his strength and intellect were undeniable. Fan Long had always looked down on Fan Sheng, but Fan Sheng enjoyed more support within the Fan Family, which is why Fan Long couldn't resist mocking him whenever they met.

Hearing Fan Long's words, Fan Sheng simply replied calmly, "Brother Long, you've come as well. It seems the Family Head is determined to succeed in this matter."

If he were so easily provoked by Fan Long, he wouldn't be Fan Sheng. Besides, Fan Sheng was well aware that while Fan Long was arrogant and petty, he was also slightly stronger than him. The Fan Family didn't tolerate useless members. Even for core figures, lacking management skills or formidable strength was unacceptable. In the Fan Family, strength was what mattered most—though, of course, like any place, it had its dark underbelly, and the Fan Family was no exception.

"Of course. An idiot like the King of the Underworld dares to offend the Fan Family. There's only one end for him: death," Fan Long stated blandly, his tone supremely arrogant, as if his words alone could condemn Lin Kuang.

At this, Fan Sheng frowned slightly but kept a smile on his face. "Brother Long, it's still better to be cautious. The King of the Underworld's strength is greater than we anticipated. We mustn't be careless."

"Hmph! Fan Sheng, I see you're becoming more and more incompetent. He's just a minor King of the Underworld. What's there to fear? No matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than the Cold-faced Fiends? No matter how strong he is, if he makes an enemy of our Fan Family, death is his only path. Next time, don't talk up our enemies and put our own side down!" Fan Long snapped.

Fan Sheng didn't get angry. He simply smiled and nodded. "Since Brother Long is so confident, we'll be counting on you entirely."

"Hmph. I wasn't planning on counting on you anyway. What could you possibly accomplish? Tonight, take me to the King of the Underworld's residence and let the Fiends eliminate him," Fan Long declared with a swagger.

"Fine. I'll take you there tonight," Fan Sheng smiled again.

Fan Long just snorted and said no more.

"Brother Long, this way, please," Fan Sheng offered with another smile when Fan Long fell silent. "Let's head back to the hotel first. We can discuss tonight's matter later."

"Alright, let's go," Fan Long said with a swagger, sneering inwardly. I'm not an idiot. I know the King of the Underworld is powerful. I was just provoking Fan Sheng because I can't stand him.
