Chapter 420

Starting today, members of the Sea Dragon Society are forbidden from entering the fishing village and the old dock!

Such a harsh decree, spoken from Lin Dongfan's mouth, was like divine judgment, a single punch shattering the limit that Zheng Canghai and others could endure.

Dead silence!

The scene was dead silent!

Until Cai Yang angrily crushed the pistachio in his hand, shells scattering between his fingers, did the scene again hear a harsh voice: 'Boss Cai, Brother Fan sets the rules—you don't accept?!'

The one who spoke was Lao Ba, at Lin Dongfan's side.

Lao Ba's gaze was sharp as an eagle's, fixing Cai Yang until his scalp tingled.

Not accepting!

That's for sure!

He had originally thought Lin Dongfan only wanted to mess with Zheng Canghai alone, so he had stayed on the sidelines, quietly waiting for a chance to reap the benefits like a fisherman.

Never expected Lin Dongfan actually wanted to step on the Sea Dragon Society's head and re-establish the rules!

Lin Dongfan's move this time is no longer just aimed at Zheng Canghai alone; it's aimed at everyone in the Sea Dragon Society, including him, Cai Yang!

However……

Anger aside, Cai Yang had no intention of stepping out as the troublemaker; now the Dragon King of the Sea Dragon Society is Zheng Canghai, so of course taking the hit should fall on Zheng Canghai.

Thus Cai Yang put away his anger and gave a light smile: 'Boss Fan, is your bodyguard managing things a bit too loosely? I'm just eating a pistachio—seems like it shouldn't bother you, right?'

'Eating pistachios is fine, but don't be so violent when shelling them—be civil.' Lin Dongfan gave Cai Yang a cold smile.

Cai Yang simply set down the pistachio in his hand and stopped eating, wearing a smile but silent, while a hundred thousand 'grass mud horses' roared in his heart.

Shelling a nut counts as violent and uncivilized?

And what's with your high-and-mighty attitude? Really damned unfair—you haven't even set the rules yet, and you're already placing yourself in the boss's position.

Cai Yang turned his head to glance at Zheng Canghai's reaction.

Zheng Canghai's heart also harbored a hundred thousand 'grass mud horses' roaring; the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably, and his originally calm, ancient-well-like eyes flashed with anger.

He stared fixedly at Lin Dongfan, his fingers gripping the purple clay cup turning white from the force.

But the quality of this purple clay teacup is genuinely good.

It actually wasn't crushed by him.

Lin Dongfan locked eyes with Zheng Canghai's angry gaze: 'Boss Zheng, is it that I didn't make myself clear, or that you didn't hear properly?'

'I heard it clearly, and I understood it fully.'

Needless to say, Zheng Canghai's emotional control is truly impressive—no less than that of the smiling tiger Cai Yang—and his reply came in a very calm tone.

He set down the purple clay cup in his hand.

He refilled his own cup, pouring tea as he spoke: 'I, Zheng, have been scraping by in Haishan for decades; in terms of wealth I'm not weaker than you, and in connections I'm confident I can overwhelm you. Now you want to step on my head to re-establish rules—aren't you being a bit impulsive? Young man, conduct yourself and your affairs with feet on the ground.'

'So you're lecturing me on how to do things?!'

Lin Dongfan narrowed his eyes, composed his expression, and stared straight at Zheng Canghai sitting opposite; just that overwhelming aura already made the surrounding people shiver.

But Zheng Canghai remained Zheng Canghai, still calmly pouring water into his teacup.

After the tea in the cup was filled.

Only then did he lift his head, half-smiling, and said to Lin Dongfan: 'Tea—I've poured it for you. I've also made a seat available for you at the Sea God Foundation. If you refuse both soft and hard options, insisting on standing on my head to set rules, then I can only accompany you to the end. You have three minutes to think; speak once you've decided.'

As his words fell, the lackeys standing around slipped their hands into their pockets, apparently holding guns! Everyone stared fixedly at every move of Lin Dongfan and Lao Ba, braced for action.

The atmosphere on the spot instantly plunged to freezing point!

Three minutes to consider!

This is undoubtedly Zheng Canghai's final ultimatum; looking at this posture, if no compromise is made within three minutes, today we'll die here?

Lin Dongfan thought about it and found it funny.

Since I dared to come today, what do I have to fear from you pulling out weapons?

Lin Dongfan gave a light smile: 'It seems the truly impulsive one isn't me, but you. Since you're stupidly unable to grasp the situation, I'll reluctantly help you open an orifice.'

"......???"

'Open an orifice?' Just as Zheng Canghai wore a puzzled expression.

Lin Dongfan casually snapped his fingers, and the glass chandelier on the ceiling suddenly fell, crashing with a bang onto the tea table between Lin Dongfan and Zheng Canghai.

It scared the surrounding people so much their hearts almost leapt out.

Not only was that expensive set of purple clay tea ware shattered, but Zheng Canghai's confidence was shattered too! When the chandelier fell, he instinctively jerked back, his soul nearly scared half away.

This glass chandelier weighs at least several dozen catties.

Fortunately the chandelier fell onto the tea table; if it had landed on Zheng Hai Cang's head, it would surely have blown his skull open, earning him a boxed lunch on the spot.

Zheng Canghai clutched his thumping old heart, took two breaths to steady himself.

Then he glared angrily at Lin Dongfan opposite!

He certainly wouldn't think Lin Dongfan had special abilities—this is obvious even to a toe; the chandelier must have been tampered with, someone nearby remotely controlling all this.

This means there are Lin Dongfan's people inside the Haishan Guesthouse!

Now, as soon as Lin Dongfan gives an order, everyone present today will have to die here! Even if the crowd brought guns, it would be useless, because you have no idea whether there are explosives inside the building.

Zheng Canghai turned his head and angrily demanded of Cai Yang: 'Old Cai, this is your turf! Your chandelier's quality is so poor—don't you owe everyone an explanation?'

The subtext was basically cursing Cai Yang as an idiot, and that the people planted inside the guesthouse are unknown!

Cai Yang was rebuked until his scalp tingled, left speechless.

At this moment, Cai Yang genuinely felt: 'I'm really a damn idiot—my home's been stolen, yet I'm still here dreaming of reaping the benefits like a fisherman!'

Cai Yang resentfully glared at Lin Dongfan, silently cursing Lin Dongfan's ancestors eighteen generations back.

Lin Dongfan, however, kept the air of a mere onlooker, sighing with myriad feelings as he commented: 'Boss Cai, the décor of this lousy guesthouse really isn't great. I just casually snapped my fingers and the lamp fell; those unaware thought I had boundless magic. I need to clarify: I'm just an ordinary businessman, truly without any supernatural power.'

"......!!!"

Cai Yang wore a black line on his head, speechless, he demanded of the heavens: "You have no magical power, but you damn well dare say this has nothing to do with you?"

All the brothers around had guns tucked in their pockets.

Zheng Canghai's three-minute countdown had already passed; even Old Zheng didn't dare order an attack on you— isn't that exactly the effect you wanted?

Damn your mother!

Stepping on my Cai Yang's head to act pretentious, and doing it so self-righteously!

Just as Cai Yang was fuming and speechless, a lackey suddenly came running in, panicked, to report: "Dragon King, the young lady has gone missing."

In an instant, Zheng Canghai's face turned as black as possible.

Zheng Canghai gritted his teeth and glared at Lin Dongfan across from him: "Chief Fan, harming the family is not acceptable— aren't you going a bit too far?"

"Yes, harming the family is not acceptable, I fully agree with that view. So, your young lady's disappearance— what's it got to do with me?" Lin Dongfan lit a cigarette, took a slow drag, then leisurely smiled and said: "However, I have a soft spot for beauties; if you just say three words— I'm convinced! — I can help you find her."
