"Are you looking down on our ability to do things, you bastard?"
Luo Zixing's cheeks flushed red from Mo Ming's words, and she angrily retorted, "I just don't believe it! One person can't stir up much trouble. Can he really handle all of us by himself?"
"Let me ask you a question. Do you know how frogs die?"
"I don't know. How do they die?" Luo Zixing blurted out without thinking.
"Hehe, they burst their bellies and die from being overstuffed!" Mo Ming chuckled as he saw Luo Zixing fall into his trap. "The world is vast and full of wonders. Young lady, you're still too naive; society isn't as simple as you think."
"You... you're the one who's naive!" Luo Zixing's face turned even redder as she glared at Mo Ming, her eyes filled with anger. Mo Ming's words were infuriating; not only was he teasing her, but he also spoke with such a condescending tone. It was like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a good person.
In truth, she didn't understand that Mo Ming's actions were meant to avoid involving others. He wanted to handle things alone, taking responsibility for his own enemies without dragging innocent people into it.
"Hah, so you mean it's not simple, right?" Mo Ming continued to provoke Luo Zixing. "You don't need to kick me; those are your words. I'm just helping you translate them a bit."
"I've realized you're nothing but a complete bastard!"
Luo Zixing was furious, nearly exploding with rage at Mo Ming. Her chest heaved as she coldly snorted, "Hmph! I can't be bothered with you anyway. After all, they're looking for you, not me. As long as he doesn't disrupt the peace of Nanhua City, I couldn't care less about him!"
"Well, that's just what I want! You'd better not bother with me and let me fend for myself!"
As Luo Zixing was about to explode in anger, Murong Lian quickly intervened.
"Luo Zixing, don't get angry. Mo Ming can be shameless at times, but he's just trying to keep you from getting involved in this matter to avoid putting you in danger."
Upon hearing this, Luo Zixing calmed down and thought carefully; Mo Ming was indeed that kind of person. However, she refused to back down and coldly huffed, "Hmph! I can't be bothered to argue with you."
Mo Ming wanted Luo Zixing to stay out of it, and now that his goal had been achieved, he decided not to provoke her further. He glanced at the worried Lin Yuan'er beside him and patted her hand. "Don't worry, trust me, nothing will happen. I've never lied to you."
Remembering that Mo Ming had never deceived her since childhood, Lin Yuan'er recalled the last time they went to the Golden Triangle. He had promised to return safely, and he did.
This time, even though she still felt anxious, Lin Yuan'er chose to believe in Mo Ming as always. She bit her lip and nodded firmly. "Yes, I believe you. If you say you can solve it, then you can."
Everyone knew that Mo Ming was not the type to hide when danger approached; advising him was pointless, so no one said anything more as their dishes were served.
After being hungry all day, Mo Ming eagerly dug into the food, while the women began chatting about lighter topics.
...
As they left the restaurant, Mo Ming discreetly handed a check to the boss. It wasn't a large amount—just enough for some renovations—which he slipped into the boss's pocket.
After finishing their meal, Murong Lian wasn't going to let Mo Ming off easily and insisted on visiting another department store. They shopped until dark, and only when Mo Ming could take no more did the women relent.
After shopping, Murong Lian took Luo Zixing and Luoxiwei home while Mo Ming accompanied Lin Yuan'er back to Fu Meng's place.
Fu Xi had not returned yet. Mo Ming wanted to check on her situation and called her. Coincidentally, she was with Poisonous Madness, saying they were busy with something but didn't reveal any details. However, she told Mo Ming to wait for good news.
Just then, Fu Meng returned from outside. After exchanging a few casual words, Mo Ming said goodbye to Lin Yuan'er and drove off to find Liu Feng. The current situation was precarious; the formidable enemy Dark Order was stirring, and after Iron Kong's death in the Golden Triangle battle, they would surely go wild. Mo Ming estimated that Dark Order would make significant moves soon.
Now there was also a Hebrew seeking revenge who had come back from the brink of death.
Mo Ming felt that he could no longer afford to develop slowly; otherwise, before he became strong enough, he might be wiped out by his opponents. Therefore, this visit to Liu Feng was twofold: first to discuss matters with Liu Feng and second to check on the progress of new members in their development.
The slums of Nanhua City are the most chaotic place in the entire city. Unless a significant event occurs, the police rarely pay attention to this area due to the large number of people and the disorderly environment. The government is aware but powerless, making it difficult to implement any changes.
It is precisely because of the chaos here that Liufeng chose this location as a temporary training base. The secret base in Nanhua City is still under construction, progressing slowly due to excessive caution, and it will take a long time to complete.
Before coming here, Mo Ming was concerned about being followed by spies from the Dark Order. He drove around aimlessly for a while and, finding no one tailing him, finally arrived at this place. In such a poor area, driving a luxury sports car would attract too much attention, so he parked nearby and walked to the base.
The base is located in a large underground space, roughly the size of a football field. It was originally built as a bomb shelter to evade airstrikes and is usually deserted, making it quite concealed.
The area is managed by a small-time thug named Little Four Fa, who is accustomed to bullying the locals. The nearby poor residents are too afraid to come here. Thanks to Little Four Fa, there are no witnesses, and Liufeng ensured that nothing happening here would leak out.
Mo Ming knocked on the large iron door of the basement. A small iron window opened, revealing a pair of eyes that scrutinized him like a snake. The guard coldly asked, "Who are you? Don't you know that this place is off-limits to outsiders?"
"I'm looking for Hunter. Tell him that Shura has arrived."
Mo Ming was not offended by the guard's attitude since he was a stranger; it was normal for him to be unfriendly. If Liufeng had members who were so naïve as to be polite to strangers, he might as well give up on them entirely.
"Wait a moment."
The guard was not foolish; knowing Hunter was inside and that Mo Ming had introduced himself meant he had business here. He promptly closed the window and went to inform Liufeng.
Before long, there was a loud click as the iron door swung open.
The person who opened the door was not the one from earlier, but Silver Wolf. Upon seeing Mo Ming, a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes as he cheerfully stepped forward to embrace Mo Ming, exclaiming, "Boss!"
Mo Ming took a look around and noticed that Silver Wolf had changed quite a bit after this period of training. His demeanor was more intense, his gaze filled with determination, and his arm muscles had become much firmer. It seemed that Silver Wolf had truly been pushing himself through Liufeng's grueling training.
"Silver Wolf, it's been a while since we last met, and you've really changed. You've become stronger," Mo Ming said with a slight smile, patting Silver Wolf on the shoulder. "So, how are you finding life here?"
"Hey, don't laugh at me, Boss. I really wasn't used to it at first; I almost wanted to give up. But I'm not someone who gives in easily. I gritted my teeth and persevered, and eventually got used to this way of life. It became much easier."
There was a hint of self-deprecation in Silver Wolf's smile; he likely felt ashamed for having thought about giving up initially. However, since he didn't give up, it couldn't be considered a total failure. The fact that he managed to stick it out meant he must have made some progress.
Entering that hellish place would cause many people to falter. There were rules: either persist and eventually become a core member or give up—those who gave up faced death!
"Well, it's great that you managed to hold on. I believe that as long as you keep working hard, one day you'll be able to stand at a higher place and see this world from a different perspective. At that time, you'll realize just how vast this world truly is!"
"Yeah, I know. Coming here made me realize that there are so many strong people," Silver Wolf said with a bitter smile and a nod. It seemed he had endured quite a bit and lost the arrogance he once had.
The saying goes that the sword is easy to break but the blade is hard to dull; this truth remains unchanged throughout time!
"Don't jump to conclusions too quickly. The strong ones you see might not even be considered true strong ones. Once you have enough strength, you'll encounter even more formidable opponents."
A faint smile appeared on Mo Ming's lips as he thought of Liufeng and asked, "Where did Liufeng go? He knows I'm here looking for him but hasn't come out to greet me!"
"He went out looking for new blood and hasn't returned yet."
"He's quite proactive. I feel pretty reassured when it comes to him getting things done. Come on, show me around your training hell and let me see what it's all about!"
Mo Ming and Silver Wolf walked into the basement, where the stairs were completely dark. However, as they descended, lights began to appear. At the very bottom of the basement, an intense fight was taking place.
"Hehe, I got so excited to see the boss earlier that I forgot about this. Boss, you came at just the right time; the ranking battle for this month has started again, and we are currently in the first match."
Silver Wolf introduced Mo Ming to the fighters: "The two people fighting right now, the one in the red vest is nicknamed 'Red Ghost', and he’s quite strong. The other one is called 'Iron Man', who was ranked several places behind Red Ghost before but has recently shown remarkable strength, taking down several opponents and earning the right to challenge Red Ghost."
"Not bad, both of them are good prospects." Mo Ming quickly assessed Red Ghost and Iron Man, saying calmly, "However, I think Iron Man is a bit stronger; Red Ghost might have a tough time this round."
"Really? Iron Man's strength is decent, but dealing with Red Ghost is still somewhat difficult. Boss, how can you tell that Red Ghost is going to struggle?"
Silver Wolf looked skeptically at the ongoing match. Red Ghost clearly had an absolute advantage and didn’t seem like someone who would lose to Iron Man.
"Hehe, sometimes the situation can blind your eyes. In a duel between experts, just a slight flaw can be fatal."
Mo Ming's gaze lingered on Iron Man. His bronze-toned upper body displayed solid muscles that looked hard just by looking at them. He was currently in a defensive position but moved with steady steps.
"Look at Iron Man; even though he's being pressured by Red Ghost, his defense is solid without any signs of chaos. From his eyes, I see a calmness. On the other hand, Red Ghost seems hesitant and unable to deliver a decisive blow to Iron Man; his attacks are starting to become a bit disorganized. If this continues, Iron Man has a greater chance of winning."
"Of course, anything is possible; maybe Red Ghost is holding back as well." A glint of sharpness flashed in Mo Ming's eyes as he said, "Let's watch and see; the outcome will soon be revealed."
