The Favored Son of Heaven

“If possible, I hope to see both generals at the same time.” Qin Fen’s eyes showed the cunningness of a fox. “I can’t afford to offend the two generals. I am afraid that I would not be able to live to see tomorrow regardless of who I meet first. Hence, please allow me to be bold once and meet both generals at the same time.”

Ming Kun and Wu Lianda’s men showed a smile of admiration. They were not displeased with Qin Fen’s almost arrogant answer. At the Golden Triangle, you would never be able to gain acknowledgment from others if you did not have a slight sense of toughness.

The two said a few words into the mini-microphone on their military camouflage and led Qin Fen toward a larger VIP private room.

This was neither Wang Hao’s VIP private room, nor was it Wu Lianda’s VIP private room. It was just a simple adjustment to fit the two’s dignity.

Qin Fen looked at the two people who sat separately on two different sofas: Wang Hao and Wu Lianda.

Qin Fen wasn’t unfamiliar with these two people, as the information had provided detailed descriptions on the two.

One of the few ways to approach Wang Hao was to first approach Wu Lianda to be his hitman temporarily, then later launch a sneak attack on Wang Hao’s men. After catching Wang Hao’s attention with that, the next step was to use other methods to switch into Wang Hao’s side.

Wu Lianda saw Lin Ling who was standing beside Qin Fen. A flash of desire shone in his eyes that were covered by his shades.

As a general of the Golden Triangle, he had also seen a lot of beautiful women. Even the number of women he had slept with was countless. Yet, he had never encountered a woman like Lin Ling.

The golden ratio figure, the face of youthful beauty, along with a little elegance in aura. It was perfection among perfection.

A glimmer of light flashed through Wang Hao’s eyes as he saw Lin Ling from a closer distance. His mouth opened slightly as a representation of his awe.

The more beautiful women one has seen, the more they would know how perfect and how desirable Lin Ling was. At this point, even Wang Hao had to envy Qin Fen’s ability to find such an attractive woman.

“Kid,” Wang Hao pointed to a chair, indicating him to sit down. “Tell me, what is your purpose for coming here?”

Qin Fen turned and dragged over another chair. Only after he and Lin Ling have both sat down did he say simply, “During the recruitment period, I had sex with the new recruit women. It was a violation of military regulations, and my citizenship was ripped off. The police also took action into hunting me down to put me into prison. I had already lost my citizenship. If I were to lose my freedom, and my loved one, life would no longer have meaning. So I killed the cops, snatched their rifles, was faced with a wanted warrant, beat those special task soldiers to death, and fled here.”

Wu Lianda was shocked by what he heard. He had only heard that Wang Hao had once again spotted a newcomer at Gruesome Madness. His initial plan was only to come over and create havoc so that Wang Hao would not be able to recruit a new member.

He already had intentions to recruit Qin Fen upon witnessing his amazing sword skills. He just never expected that his past experiences would be so mind-blowing.

Killing policemen was also something that his men had done before. But killing soldiers, especially those of the special task force, was not something that could be done by just anyone.

“Killing special task force soldiers?” Wang Hao frowned. “How did you do it? The strength of special task soldiers is not something you…”

“Gun.” Qin Fen showed a gun gesture with his hand. “Killing does not just involve martial arts. Knives and bullets can also kill.”

Wang Hao took out a black star from his waist and placed it on the table. With just a slight movement of his wrist, the powerful pistol slid across the table directly to Qin Fen.

“Pick it up.”

Qin Fen picked the gun up without caring about mannerisms.

At that moment, the martial artists beside both Wu Lianda and Wang Hao released an aura of alertness from their bodies.

At such a distance, the power of a bullet would still be enormous.

Wang Hao pointed at his forehead with his index finger, “I am cynical about how you killed a special soldier with a gun. I don’t believe it. As a Narcotics captain of the Federation, I know how strong those guys are. Now, try killing me using the gun in your hand.”

Qin Fen sneered. He evaluated the black star that was in his hand, and threw the gun onto the table, producing a loud bang. The gun was once again slid back to Wang Hao.

“You expect me to shoot you with a piece of scrap iron that can’t even shoot?” Qin Fen sneered and pointed at Ming Kun, “Give me his gun, and I will try to see if I can kill you.”

“Ha ha ha ha…”

Wang Hao burst into laughter and gave a look of satisfaction.

“Okay, interesting! You are the most interesting person I have ever seen.” Wang Hao looked at Qin Fen’s body like a radar, “I have never had an interest in talking to people who are possibly undercover agents sent by the Federation. I would usually just send someone over to kill them. For now, I have killed thirty-two of them.”

Thirty-two? Qin Fen had no expression on his face, but was still a little surprised inside. Wang Hao was in fact pretty merciless. The Federation did not even send that many people over, but he had killed even those he deemed suspicious.

“Hehe, back when I was a policeman for the federation, I needed to have enough evidence in order to catch someone. How troublesome”. Wang Hao swiftly put the gun back onto his waist, “Being a general here is much better. There is no need evidence at all. I am the evidence. As long as I think it is dangerous, I can kill it.”

Qin Fen remained silent, but he turned to face Wu Lianda.

“Why? Don’t have the guts to look at me?” Wang Hao’s tone suddenly turned serious. The quiet room was shocked, as if there was a sudden roar of thunder. His eyes glowed like lightning and shrouded Qin Fen.

“General, I do indeed not dare to look at you.” Qin Fen said with the attitude that was neither humble nor overbearing, “I still hope to live. Since choosing would lead to the possibility of having myself killed just because of a mere suspicion, I might as well choose a safer place. Many have said that those who come to the Golden Triangle are fearless of death. I disagree. In my opinion, those who flee here are more fearful of death than anybody else”.

“What did you say?”

Excluding the two bosses in the room, the faces of other people suddenly turned ruthless. Their fierce glances were as if they were able to eat even a whole dinosaur.

At the Golden Triangle, everyone had always labeled themselves as being fearless of death and took pride in their guts to confront the government.

“I said, in my opinion, people here are more afraid of death than anyone else.” Qin Fen repeated again, “The Golden Triangle mostly consists of ex-members of the Federation. Most of these people have committed a deadly crime, and if not, at the very least, have had their citizenship revoked. If they were not afraid of death, they would have just surrendered to their sentence and have their citizenship revoked. Why would they need to flee to this place to seek the continuation of their survival? The answer is pretty simple: they are all afraid of death.”

The murderousness in the room was getting thicker and thicker, and the air was so heavy it felt as if it was frozen.

Qin Fen continued to say, “At least, I am afraid of death. I am here because I am afraid of death. And also, because I am afraid of death, I do not wish to die. If someone wants to kill me, then…”

Qin Fen’s straightened his posture, his glare that was sharper than Wang Hao’s, scanned through the people in the room who expressed hostility toward him. He said coldly, “I will let him be the first to die.”

The people who were scanned by Qin Fen’s glance felt a sudden shiver in their spines. The image of his cool and amazing sword skills from earlier flashed across the minds of all of them.

Ming Kun then remembered Wang Hao’s comment that he would even possibly assassinate a seven-star martial artist. If he were to fight back desperately, at least one other person would need to fall in this room besides number forty-four.

Wang Hao gently applauded, and the slow-paced sound spread through the entire container.

The wild killing aura, in this slow applause rhythm, weakened a little bit.

“Pretty interesting, it’s really quite interesting.” Wang Hao pointed at Qin Fen, “Young man, you brought me too many surprises. Now I have too many expectations of you. Although your history still makes me a little wary, for the first time, I do not want to just kill you off merely because of my instincts. I want to gamble!”

“Little General Wang, you seem to have forgotten that I’m still sitting here.” Wu Lianda gently knocked the ground with his crutch, making a dong dong sound, “Don’t think that just because you said that he might be the undercover of the Federation that I will simply lose interest. I may be a little old, but I can still tell the worth of a person. This man is worth a ton of heroin!”

A ton of heroin…

Ma Kaqiao, who also followed them into the room, was shocked to the point where he almost bit off his tongue when he heard this.

A ton of heroin? How much is that? Ma Kaqiao secretly guessed in his mind. Even the real big boss of Gruesome Madness would be shocked by the amount.

Ma Kaqiao had some regrets. He should have reported to the big boss earlier. He wondered if the big boss would blame him for letting go of such a great boxer.

Wang Hao smiled and shook his head repeatedly, “It’s way more than that. If he has good potential and plenty of room for development, his worth will definitely be more than just a ton of heroin.”

It’s more? Ma Kaqiao felt as if his intestines were all tangled.

Even if we were to say that Wu Lianda’s age had got into the way of his evaluation, it would be absolutely impossible for Wang Hao, who always had a keen and sinister eye, to make any mistakes.

“What? Someone is here to borrow money?” Ma Kaqiao asked questions with surprise as he switched on his phone. He quickly bowed and said to the two generals, “Generals, I still have some personal affairs to deal with, you guys go ahead.”

“No hurry.”

Wang Hao and Wu Lianda smirked at the same time. Ming Kun and Wu Lianda’s men had already blocked the door and immediately crushed the phone on Ma Kaqiao’s ear.

“These two…” Ma Kaqiao smiled stiffly.

“What do you think?” Ming Kun asked coldly, “Do we appear as fools to you?”

“No, no…” Ma Kaqiao shook his head and laughed, “Actually, I’m not so much in a hurry, I’ll deal with it later. I’ll deal with it later.”

Wang Hao and Wu Lianda smiled at each other. The boss behind Gruesome Madness was indeed powerful. If they were to add another person to the competition over Qin Fen, the chance of getting him would go from a fifty percent chance to one third.
