"You, Zhang Erxiong, also have some good deal? Let’s hear it."

Sun San cast a glance at Zhang Erxiong, well aware of his background. He normally took more money off the top than other middlemen, which is why Sun San wasn’t particularly fond of him.

But the times had changed, Sun San was in desperate need of money now or else he wouldn’t be entertaining the likes of Zhang Erxiong.

"You definitely wouldn’t believe it just from my words, you’d better see for yourself."

Having said that, Zhang Erxiong set down the backpack he was carrying on his shoulder, unzipped it, and motioned for Sun San to take a look.

Upon looking inside, Sun San was astonished to find it stuffed with brand-new hundred-dollar bills, neatly stacked in bundles, each bundle amounting to ten thousand.

Silently calculating in his mind, Sun San estimated there to be at least four hundred thousand. Seeing all this cash made him furrow his brows.

"I’ve said it before, I’m done with hit jobs."

Sun San quickly waved his hands, indicating for Zhang Erxiong to leave.

"Four hundred thousand to kill someone, is that what you call a good deal?"

Zhang Erxiong quickly grabbed Sun San’s hand and said.

"All you need to do is take care of someone for me, finish the job, and all this money is yours."

"Just to ’take care of’ someone, that simple?"

Sun San asked skeptically.

Four hundred thousand used to be the going rate for a hit, and now someone is paying that much just to beat someone up. Is the client out of their mind?

"What do you think? It’s a good deal, right?"

Zhang Erxiong said with a sly grin on his face.

When Gao Ye and Sun San heard that someone was willing to pay such a hefty sum of four hundred thousand just to beat someone up, they hurried over to take a look.

Gao Ye, fearing a trick, carefully inspected the money in the backpack and found nothing amiss.

Ever since he got out, Sun San had been scheming to make a comeback. He had enough manpower now, but was still short on funds.

Since the opportunity had presented itself, Sun San did not refuse and gestured for Zhang Erxiong to bring the client over for a detailed discussion.

Before long, Zhang Erxiong brought in a young man.

"Well, well, looks like we’ve got ourselves a martial artist here, huh?"

As soon as the young man entered, Sun San could tell he was well-built, muscular, and despite his light footsteps, his gait was somewhat unsteady. He chuckled to himself; the young man was just a half-baked fighter.

As soon as the young man sat down, he looked at Gao Ye and his brothers and said with a smile,

"I’ve long heard of you guys’ reputations, and finally, today I meet you in person. The fame is indeed well-deserved."

"Get to the point, I don’t like beating around the bush. Who do you want to teach a lesson to, and to what extent? I’ve been itching for something to do, it’s been a long time since I’ve been active."

Sun San couldn’t stand those who were long-winded and mealy-mouthed, he said impatiently, crossing his legs.

"Sun San’s style is still as decisive as before, I like folks who are straight to the point like you,"

the young man said with a laugh.

"Even though I don’t want the guy dead, I want him to lose a layer of skin, and most importantly let him know what happens when he dares to compete with me for a woman."

On hearing the young man’s words, Sun San was shocked. Nowadays, there were still people willing to spend so much over a love rivalry.

"Stealing another man’s woman is the most shameful act. Tell us his name, where he lives, and we’ll make sure to seek revenge for you,"

the exclaiming Sun San interjected immediately, his expression changing.

The young man smiled triumphantly, took out his cell phone, opened a video, and handed it to them.

"I have a video of the guy here. Take a look, it might help you in finding him."

The young man grinned happily, aware that in Mud Pit Pond area, Gao Ye and his brothers held the greatest sway. With their promise of help, there was nothing that couldn’t be done.

"Gentlemen, I’ve seen this person before; he’s been to your gambling den, and you must recognize him."

Zhang Erxiong said with all seriousness.

"Last time he made quite a commotion at your place, ending up in the police station. You’ll definitely remember once you see."

The Gao brothers were also confused by Zhang Erxiong’s words. Since Sun San returned, the business at the gambling den hadn’t been as good as before, and there had been no significant trouble, right?

The three brothers thought hard but couldn’t recall who it was, so they all leaned in to see who the person in the smartphone was.

"Wow, what’s going on here? So lively! Let me have a look too!"

Just then, Wang Hao walked in and saw the Gao brothers huddled around a smartphone, his curiosity piqued, he also leaned in.

Seeing Wang Hao coming in, the young man trembled and quickly put on his mask to cover his face.

Zhang Erxiong’s face fell at the sight of Wang Hao, especially noting how familiar he seemed with the Gao brothers. He felt completely bewildered.

"Little brother, your timing is perfect. There’s a bastard here who stole someone else’s girl. Let’s all go teach him a lesson together in a bit!"

Upon seeing Wang Hao, Sun San burst into hearty laughter.

It seemed like this sort of thing was no more than an everyday occurrence for them.

"What... What? Little brother?"

Zhang Erxiong turned deathly pale, his face showing fright. Although he had heard that the Gao brothers had taken on a new brother, he had never imagined it would be Wang Hao.

The young man was equally shocked and gave Zhang Erxiong a fierce glare. But Zhang Erxiong was deep in thought with his head down and didn’t notice.

This young man was no other than Cheng Lei, who had been upstaged by Wang Hao just yesterday.

After parting ways with Wang Hao, Cheng Lei had been seething with resentment, but he didn’t know many people in the area, so he sought out Zhang Erxiong to help find people to deal with Wang Hao.

Zhang Erxiong had sworn to him that as long as Sun San agreed, there would be no problem.

So Cheng Lei had offered an exorbitant sum of five hundred thousand to get Zhang Erxiong to go to the Gao brothers.

At that time, Zhang Erxiong had even watched the video and recognized Wang Hao making a scene at the Gao’s gambling den.

Therefore, Cheng Lei had believed him.

But who would have thought that Wang Hao would now be a newly sworn brother of the Gao brothers? Wasn’t this just like jumping into the net?

"Go get that damn phone for me now!"

Cheng Lei nudged Zhang Erxiong’s arm and whispered through gritted teeth.

"Ah? Okay!"

Zhang Erxiong’s face was the picture of embarrassment, his hands trembling with fear, but he had no choice but to muster the courage and approach the Gao brothers and Wang Hao, attempting to retrieve the smartphone.

"Um... Sun San, you wouldn’t know the phone’s password, would you? Let me unlock it for you!"

Zhang Erxiong spoke haltingly.

"Are you brain-dead? It was already unlocked when you brought it over."

Sun San gave Zhang Erxiong a disdainful look, then directly hit the play button on the video.

"Hold on, it’s loading, it’ll be up in a sec!"

"This..."

Zhang Erxiong was panicked, stretching out his hand in an attempt to snatch the phone while shouting.

"Sun San, there’s been a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding, said Mr. Cheng, the client!"

Sun San held onto the phone and with a kick, sent Zhang Erxiong flying.

"You son of a bitch, taking us brothers for fools! Today I’m going to see who the hell is in this video."

Right then, the video finished loading, and the image of Wang Hao sitting in the back of a car appeared, clear as day...
