Elder Long is the top boss in the Hong Kong Island underworld, having occupied that position for over a decade. With thousands of subordinates under his command, it's no surprise he's developed such an overwhelming aura over the years.
As for Elder Long's personal strength, Qin Fang used his Scouting Skill to assess it and found that it was only slightly stronger than that of an average person.
Just Level 3...
With such a level of strength, Qin Fang clearly didn't consider it anything significant. To put it bluntly, "I could slap a whole crowd of people like him with one hand..."
Even though his strength wasn't impressive, it didn't an a person like him wasn't formidable.
On the contrary, anyone who dared underestimate this man would undoubtedly et a tragic end—perhaps one day they'd end up riddled with bullets, reduced to a sieve's worth.
Hong Kong Island and the inland are not the sa. In Hong Kong Island, many gangs are ard, especially the biggest one—the Xin'an. If they were to mobilize, their firepower would rival that of a military force.
Keep in mind, although these gangs have many ways of making money, the most profitable ventures boil down to two—drugs and arms. Xin'an earns large sums annually from both of these businesses...
As the head of Xin'an, Elder Long undeniably commands substantial firepower support. At least, Qin Fang noticed among the dozen or so bodyguards accompanying Elder Long, eight of them were ard.
"That's right, I'm Qin Fang..."
Though thoughts raced through his mind, Qin Fang maintained a courteous tone as he acknowledged his identity.
Facing a big shot like Elder Long, Qin Fang neither humbled himself nor displayed arrogance. Instead, he spoke to Elder Long as an equal.
This deanor caused a flicker of surprise in Elder Long's gaze.
As Qin Fang assessed Elder Long, Elder Long was naturally sizing up Qin Fang as well. But apart from noticing Qin Fang's composed and confident bearing, he seed unable to uncover any noticeable anomalies.
It was precisely because Qin Fang was too calm that Elder Long's suspicions deepened.
Elder Long was sowhat aware of Elder Song's background. He hailed from a very mysterious and powerful sect—a sect whose strength far exceeded Elder Long's imagination.
Simply put, if that sect wanted to wipe out his Xin'an, they might not even need an hour...
To kill him, the man known as Hong Kong Island's underground kingpin, could be completed in re minutes. No matter how many bodyguards surrounded him, they wouldn't even warrant notice from the sect.
Moreover, Wang Hu had just inford Elder Long that Elder Song's background was not only vast but his personal strength was incredibly terrifying—at least at the Grandmaster Level...
Elder Long had already held considerable apprehension toward Elder Song, and after learning these new details, his unease grew, drastically diminishing his intention to kill Qin Fang.
Although Brother San Shui was his godson and the sole heir of his forr closest brother, in comparison to his own status, position, and power, it all seed utterly insignificant.
For Elder Long to have reached his current position wasn't easy, and to stay in that seat for over a decade was even harder. Having grown accustod to power and the life of a big boss, the thought of losing it all was sothing he simply couldn't tolerate.
"Impressive courage..."
As Elder Long gazed at Qin Fang, the young man before him with such an unruffled deanor, he couldn't help but feel a pang of "I've grown old." Once upon a ti, he too had been like this—young, full of fiery determination, fearless in the face of anyone or anything, willing even to risk his life.
But now, he no longer had that kind of resolve.
He had attachnts, concerns...
To put it flatteringly, it was maturity and stability. To put it bluntly, his courage had dwindled!
Elder Long couldn't turn back ti, but looking at Qin Fang, soone so reminiscent of his younger self, he couldn't help but feel a certain admiration. His hostility toward Qin Fang visibly subsided.
"Elder Long, I've co over this ti, firstly to offer an apology..."
Qin Fang gestured subtly toward Brother San Shui's hospital room. "To be honest, my actions were too heavy-handed this ti—I truly didn't expect it would result in this..."
"Hmph~~"
Qin Fang shouldn't have brought this up. The mont he did, the hint of goodwill Elder Long had just developed instantly vanished. His face hardened, and a cold snort emanated from his nostrils, clearly expressing his great dissatisfaction with Qin Fang's remarks.
"Hold on! Since this matter started because of , naturally I won't stand idly by—I assure you of this..."
Qin Fang
"Assure ? My godson's now brain-damaged, and you want to trust you?"
Elder Long's already unfriendly expression grew visibly angrier, and he shouted irritably.
That shout made his bodyguards tense up imdiately. So even instinctively reached toward their waists, seemingly ready to pull their guns and aim at Qin Fang as soon as Elder Long gave the command.
"His condition—I can cure it..."
Qin Fang, however, remained calm, as though entirely oblivious to the bodyguards' movents. With a composed tone, he stated plainly.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Elder Long couldn't help but be montarily startled, clearly perplexed by Qin Fang's statent. "You can cure him?"
Regarding Qin Fang's background, Elder Long had instructed Wang Hu to investigate briefly beforehand. Although the details weren't comprehensive, Qin Fang's activities since arriving in Ninghai had provided enough for a general picture.
