Protagonist:

Lin Hao

Lin Hao's emotions had gradually calmed by now, but having not slept all night, and having negotiated and maneuvered with Ding Yao, the mental strain and exhaustion had truly worn him out.

He turned to look at Jiang Tiansheng, greeting him: "Mr. Jiang, I'm really too tired. I'm going back to my room to catch up on sleep. Let's discuss the next steps after I wake up."

Jiang Tiansheng nodded. Although he still had some thoughts about Lin Hao's intense actions just now, he also understood that Lin Hao had worked hard for the Hung Hing's affairs recently and had surely not been idle last night either. He said: "Alright, A Hao, go rest well first. Once you've regained your strength, we'll plan things out in the long run."

Lin Hao responded and, dragging his slightly exhausted body, walked toward his room. The moment he entered, he didn't even take off his clothes before collapsing onto the bed. His head had barely touched the pillow when drowsiness surged in like a tide. In no time at all, he fell into a deep sleep, leaving only the sound of his even breathing echoing in the quiet room. Outside, the Hung Hing members, after this disturbance, each waited for further developments with complex thoughts.

Lin Hao slept so soundly that he slept from morning until past five in the afternoon before slowly waking up. He opened his eyes and felt his whole body full of energy again, his entire person refreshed, as if the previous exhaustion had been completely driven away by this good sleep.

After a simple wash-up, Lin Hao headed toward the casino. When he arrived, he found it already packed with people. The brothers all had different expressions—some indignant, some nervous—and the atmosphere in the entire casino was especially tense.

Lin Hao was wondering what was going on when he saw Jiang Tiansheng sitting to the side, his expression somewhat stern. He hurried forward and asked: "Mr. Jiang, what happened? Why does everyone look so off? Did something happen?"

Jiang Tiansheng looked up and saw it was Lin Hao. He frowned slightly, then handed Lin Hao the letter in his hand, saying: "A Hao, take a look. At noon, Lei Gong sent someone to deliver this challenge letter, appointing us to settle the win or loss with a fight at the wharf at midnight tonight."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hao's brow furrowed instantly. He hurriedly took the letter and examined it carefully, only to see the terms written clearly: if Hung Hing lost, they had to hand over the casino and also turn Lin Hao over; but if the San Luen Bang lost, they would give Hung Hing a bar and additionally hand over twenty million.

Lin Hao snorted coldly and cursed: "This Lei Gong is really too arrogant, thinking our Hung Hing is afraid of him!"

Jiang Tiansheng sighed helplessly and said: "I've thought it over, and I feel we cannot retreat from this fight. If we don't accept the challenge, from now on on this Ao Dao, our Hung Hing will never be able to hold our heads up again, how could we stand in the Jianghu? So I've already agreed, and I'm currently preparing the men. Tonight, no matter what, we have to fight them."

Lin Hao nodded, his eyes showing determination, and said: "Mr. Jiang is right. We absolutely cannot be cowards. Since they want to fight, we'll accompany them to the end. Tonight we must let them know the might of our Hung Hing!"

Jiang Tiansheng stood up, looking at the brothers in the casino, and said loudly: "Brothers, tonight's battle concerns the honor and disgrace of our Hung Hing. Everyone, cheer up. We must work together and definitely win this battle. We cannot let the San Luen Bang look down on us!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Yes, Mr. Jiang! We will definitely give it our all!"

Afterward, Jiang Tiansheng had Chen Yao begin arranging the brothers in an orderly fashion—who would charge into battle, who would provide support from the rear, and preparing weapons and so on. The entire Hung Hing, up and down, became busy for this impending great battle, and the air seemed filled with the smell of gunpowder before a great battle.

Jiang Tiansheng, with a solemn expression, pulled Lin Hao into a corner of the casino, and the two sat down slowly.

Jiang Tiansheng looked at Lin Hao, his eyes showing concern and determination, patted Lin Hao's shoulder and said: "Lin Hao, don't worry. Although tonight's battle is dangerous, even if we lose, I will absolutely not hand you over. You are a brother of our Hung Hing. How could I stand by and watch them take you away? At worst, we'll fight to the death together, but we cannot do such an unrighteous thing."

Hearing these words, a warm current surged in Lin Hao's heart, but at this moment his mind was entirely on how to deal with this fight. He paused, frowned, and said: "Mr. Jiang, I understand your intentions, but we are on this Ao Dao side, and our manpower is really too few compared to the San Luen Bang. Fighting openly like this, we are indeed at a disadvantage. I've thought it over, and I feel that to completely resolve this matter, we have to kill Lei Gong. As long as he dies, the San Luen Bang will lose their backbone and won't be worth fearing. What do you think?"

Hearing these words, even Jiang Tiansheng, a man who had experienced many storms and rains in the Jianghu, was truly stunned for a moment.
