The price of housing in Hong Kong could be described as "every inch of land is gold."
The Peak, as the top-tier affluent district in Hong Kong, had terrifyingly high property prices.
The cheapest villas here cost over a hundred million yuan.
As the heir to the Longteng Group, Long Yuehai naturally had the right to live here.
In the villa's garden, several scantily clad women in bikinis were frolicking in the open-air swimming pool.
Lounging on a chair beside the pool, Long Yuehai was leisurely sipping champagne.
Behind him, a third-tier actress was massaging his shoulders.
Just then, Long Yueguang walked over, his arm in a sling.
"What happened?" Long Yuehai asked, noticing Long Yueguang's condition.
"Cousin, you must avenge me," Long Yueguang said, kneeling directly on the ground and crying.
"What's going on? Tell me about it," Long Yuehai became even more curious.
Long Yueguang dared not lie, so he recounted the entire incident.
Going to Island City to amass wealth was Long Yuehai's idea.
Long Yueguang was merely a subordinate running errands.
"Your hand is crippled?" Long Yuehai's expression turned icy.
Long Yueguang was his cousin and someone who worked for him.
As the saying goes, even beating a dog depends on its owner.
His subordinate's hand was crippled in Island City; how could he not intervene?
Long Yueguang nodded sadly, "It's completely crippled, beyond repair!"
"Rose!" Long Yuehai called out towards the pool.
Soon, a beauty emerged from the pool.
Wiping her hair, she approached Long Yuehai.
"Young Master, what is it?" Rose asked casually.
"I need information on Qin Hanchu of Island City," Long Yuehai stated.
Rose walked to the side and picked up her phone.
Less than ten minutes later, Rose returned.
"Young Master, this person is not simple," Rose said with a grave expression.
Long Yuehai sat up straight and asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
"He is the disciple of the divine doctor Hu Qingshan. Although only in his early twenties, he is already a peak ninth-rank expert.
"A while ago, the Han family of Island City was eradicated for offending him!
"In the battle at Han Manor, he single-handedly fought against six peak ninth-rank martial artists, and later won with the aid of poison powder.
"Most importantly, all six of these peak ninth-rank martial artists were controlled by his poison and became his slaves."
It was unexpected that Rose knew about the Han Manor incident.
Hong Kong, as one of the three overseas cities, was a considerable distance from Island City.
Being in Hong Kong, obtaining such information with a single phone call showed that Long Yuehai was not entirely a useless second-generation heir.
"A peak ninth-rank expert in his early twenties, and also skilled in the way of poison!" Long Yuehai exclaimed in shock. "No wonder he doesn't take our Longteng Group seriously. He's indeed formidable."
"If we don't use financial resources, I fear only the Old Master has the confidence to defeat him," Rose said.
"Besides this information, is there anything else? For example, regarding wealth," Long Yueguang asked.
"Nothing has been found yet. We only know that the Han Group's assets have been divided among several other groups.
"These groups must be connected to Qin Hanchu behind the scenes," Rose concluded.
"How strong are these groups?" Long Yuehai inquired.
"Their original market value was around five billion yuan, but after absorbing the Han Group's assets, their market value has doubled.
"Based on the equity structure, there's no visible connection to Qin Hanchu," Rose replied.
Long Yueguang, standing nearby, was already dumbfounded.
It was only now that he truly understood how powerful Qin Hanchu was.
No wonder the "big figures" of Island City were so respectful towards Qin Hanchu.
It turned out he had been the fool all along!
Long Yuehai remained silent for a moment, then said to Long Yueguang, "Cousin, you've heard everything."
"I have," Long Yueguang replied with his head lowered, sounding dejected.
"If you want revenge, you can only ask Grandpa to act. Anyone else who goes will be sending themselves to their death!" Long Yuehai declared.
...
The old residence of the Kong family in Lushan Prefecture.
A roar echoed from deep within the old residence.
Upon hearing the roar, the Kong family members rushed towards the patriarch's dwelling.
"Brother, what happened?"
When the Kong family members arrived, they saw Kong Xuanxiang's father with bloodshot eyes and tears streaming down his enraged face.
This scene shocked all the Kong family members.
What could have caused the current patriarch of the Kong family to be so furious and sorrowful?
"Xuanxiang and Uncle Hu have been killed!" the Kong family patriarch exclaimed, his eyes bulging with rage, his voice trembling.
What!
Xuanxiang and Uncle Hu killed?
Who did this?
All the Kong family members were filled with immense anger.
Kong Xuanxiang was a direct descendant of the Kong family; killing him meant going against the entire Kong family!
Who dared to do such a thing!
"The murderer must be killed to avenge Xuanxiang!"
"Uncle Hu was a peak ninth-rank expert. Could it be a Grandmaster who acted?"
"Even if it's a Grandmaster, our Kong family is not afraid!"
"Brother, tell us who did it?"
The Kong family members declared indignantly.
"We'll ask them for details when they return," the Kong family patriarch said, his fury burning. He had only one beloved son, Kong Xuanxiang, and now he had been killed.
He wished to kill Qin Hanchu more than anyone to avenge his son!
Two hours later, a helicopter landed in the Kong family courtyard.
Following which, Lin Jiaxue and her father, along with Kong family guards, disembarked from the helicopter.
At this moment, over a hundred members of the Kong family were gathered in the courtyard.
A palpable, overwhelming anger emanated from each of their faces.
This sight caused Lin Wansheng and his daughter to tremble uncontrollably.
If they hadn't led Kong Xuanxiang to Island City, Kong Xuanxiang wouldn't have died.
"Son, my son!"
Kong Xuanxiang's mother, who had already broken down in tears, began to wail loudly upon seeing her son's body.
At the front of the crowd, an elder with white hair was also in tears.
"Good grandson! My good grandson!" This elder was Kong Xuanxiang's grandfather, Kong Zhanlei!
Kong Zhanlei, eighty-five years old, was one of the Kong family's Grandmaster experts.
Even this Grandmaster expert was walking with a stoop, his heart filled with immeasurable pain.
"Speak! What exactly happened? Why did Xuanxiang go to Island City? And how was he killed!" the Kong family patriarch roared at the four guards.
The four guards knelt on the ground in terror and recounted the events in detail.
"Patriarch Kong, please spare us, father and daughter. We also did not expect that Qin Hanchu would dare to oppose the Kong family." Seeing the Kong family patriarch looking at them, Lin Wansheng and his daughter knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing.
"What exactly is the identity of this Qin Hanchu, to dare to oppose my Kong family!" Kong Zhanlei questioned furiously.
"I... we only know he is the disciple of the divine doctor Hu Qingshan," Lin Jiaxue replied.
"Hu Qingshan! He is the disciple of Hu Qingshan!" Kong Zhanlei's eyes widened in shock. He hadn't expected Qin Hanchu to be Hu Qingshan's disciple.
Kong Zhanlei owed his breakthrough to the Grandmaster realm to Hu Qingshan's assistance!
Others might not fully grasp Hu Qingshan's strength, but Kong Zhanlei knew how terrifying Hu Qingshan's martial arts were.
He was a Grandmaster-level expert.
Grandmasters had no right to act arrogantly in front of Hu Qingshan!
