A rain began to fall in Jiangcheng, and in the pre-dawn darkness, Long Tianwu appeared before the gates of the Tianfu Tang Family’s Merchant Association.
The Tianfu Tang Family had already established a firm foothold in Jiangcheng. Currently, both their legitimate businesses and underground operations were flourishing.
All of this was thanks to Qin Yexuan’s approval, which had given them the opportunity to conduct business.
Thus, the Tang Family was able to survive and thrive in Jiangcheng.
Long Tianwu stood with his hands clasped behind his back, flanked by four men dressed in Zhongshan suits, their expressions impassive.
*Bang, bang, bang!*
The large doors were knocked upon.
The merchant association’s security personnel appeared around them, their movements subtle. "Sir, this is Master Tang’s private property. It's not even dawn yet, what brings you here?"
A sneer touched Long Tianwu's lips. "Just a petty hoodlum, acting like some big shot. Annihilate these blind fools!"
The Tang Family’s security guards grinned broadly. "Damn you, beggar, do you know whose influence we have here?"
Long Tianwu’s eyelids didn’t even flutter. The four men in Zhongshan suits behind him suddenly revealed their weapons.
They were hand-sized flying crossbows.
The Tang Family’s security guards roared with laughter, each drawing their weapons from their waists – black, gaping muzzles.
"What era is this? Still playing with these little toys? Aren't you afraid of bullets..."
As soon as he spoke, the four flying crossbows suddenly glinted with silver light, and four beams of silver light vanished like lightning.
The Tang Family’s security guards’ eyes widened. Their weapons had already been pulverized, and silvery flames erupted from their bodies, turning them into ashes in an instant.
This was the power of the Yanlong clan.
Long Tianwu flicked the dust from his clothes and sneered, "Frogs in a well. Facing weapons forged with my Silver Dragon Qi, even fighter jets and cannons would be useless."
He raised his hand and made a gesture. The grand doors of the Tang Family Merchant Association shattered with a loud crash.
Inside, Tang Donglai, who had been working late into the night, jumped up and rushed out with his family guards.
"Where are the security personnel?"
"Master Tang, they're nowhere to be seen."
Tang Donglai’s face changed. "Who has arrived?"
"We don't know, sir. They look like outsiders."
Tang Donglai coughed and walked to the center of the courtyard, hands clasped behind his back.
Behind a screen, Long Tianwu and his men also appeared.
Under the courtyard’s bright lights, the two sides met and observed each other.
A look of contempt quickly appeared on Long Tianwu's lips. "You are the representative of the Tianfu Tang Family?"
Tang Donglai had learned his lesson and was no longer as hot-tempered as before. He smiled and cupped his hands. "Brother, why have you come? Did my men outside suffer a bit? We’ve always minded our own business. In Jiangcheng, my Tang family doesn't wish to resort to violence lightly."
Hah!
Long Tianwu laughed, his mockery unrestrained. "You dare to engage in combat with me?"
As he spoke, he slowly took three steps forward.
With each step Long Tianwu took, deep footprints appeared on the hard stone slabs behind him.
Most terrifyingly, Long Tianwu was enveloped in a silvery aura, invisible to the naked eye.
It was like a silver dragon coiling around him, making his entire presence appear exceptionally eerie.
Tang Donglai looked down at the footprints, which had sunk three centimeters into the stone slabs, and gasped. He looked up at the silvery aura surrounding Long Tianwu, his eyes widening further.
"Wait, are you from the Long family?"
Long Tianwu clenched his fist, his figure suddenly flashing. He moved with afterimages, and a roaring sound emanated from his fist.
The Thirteen Taibaos behind Tang Donglai, the top Tang family warriors, now had no chance to resist. They were all struck in the chest by the power of this punch.
Long Tianwu threw a punch, but it was accompanied by dozens of fist shadows. After tracing a slender arc, he retracted his fist and stood tall. "Tianfu Tang Family, nothing more than this."
The thirteen trusted personal guards of Tang Donglai fell, their chests as if pierced, with the smell of scorched flesh.
He was terrified, trembling as he knelt. "You are truly a scion of the Long family! Is this... is this Silver Dragon Qi?"
Long Tianwu scoffed. "You have some discernment. Do you know why I'm here?"
Tang Donglai shivered all over, his heroic demeanor gone. "Young Master Long's esteemed visit, I truly don't know how I have offended you."
"Do you dare offend my Long family!" Long Tianwu raised his palm, a ball of silver light flashing in his palm. "Heh heh, I heard you consolidated Jiangcheng's underground business. From now on, hand it over to me!"
Tang Donglai struggled slightly, a wry smile on his face as he looked up. "Young Master Long, I came to Jiangcheng to do business with Master Qin's permission."
Master Qin?
That Qin Yexuan.
Long Tianwu grinned savagely. "I came to Jiangcheng specifically for Qin Yexuan."
What?
Tang Donglai was stunned, then couldn't help but scratch his head. "Young Master Long, your strength is certainly formidable, and the Long family's influence is beyond our comparison. However, to become an enemy of Mr. Qin will likely bring you trouble."
What!
Long Tianwu was enraged and slammed his palm down.
Tang Donglai, genuinely wanting to offer advice, looked up and was struck on the forehead by this palm.
Silver flames erupted from his eyes. Without a scream, he fell like an empty shell.
Long Tianwu's anger had not subsided. "He actually said I'd bring trouble upon myself! Hmph, the Yanlong clan has been reclusive for many years, allowing a Qin Yexuan to gain such fame! Someone, wrap up this Tang family member and send him to Qin Yexuan's doorstep!"
He sneered and strode into the merchant association. In just a short time, he began to take over the Tang family's businesses completely.
Before dawn, a corpse wrapped in white cloth landed with a thud before the door of the Su family's small building!
The surrounding guards had not detected the arrival of anyone.
The door creaked open, and Qin Yexuan slowly appeared. He glanced at the shroud on the ground and immediately raised his hand to stop the guards. "Everyone, stand down. I'll open it!"
