Chapter 88: Seeing Zhu Jia Once Again

Throwing out Liao Junhua’s status as a princeling, Wang Chao had now considered him to be another master of martial arts. So when Liao Junhua had invited him, Wang Chao had naturally accepted it with happiness.

Besides, the organization had told him to collect information on Liao Junhua for a definite profiling as his mission. Even if he wasn’t invited, Wang Chao would find another opportunity to attract interest from the Shandong and Dongbei powers.

More importantly, Liao Junhua’s master is the extremely illustrious master of martial arts Zhu Hongzhi who was currently residing outside of China.

Zhu Hongzhi was currently nearing his 70s and his prestige outside of the foreign Chinese martial arts world was nearly equivalent to Yang Luchan of the Qing Dynasty and Sun Lu-tang during the Republic of China.

Whether it was for business or for pleasure, Wang Chao had no reason to deny Liao Junhua’s invitation.

“Chief Liao, are you alright!” At that moment, the group Liao Junhua had brought had seen the crisis they were in and circled around the three with their hands in their pockets.

His men had also drew in on Lin Yanan, Boulder, and his team. Several of the more burly men had even used their own bodies to protect Liao Junhua and Dai Jun.

Liao Junhua had brought a total of 30 men. Originally, their purpose was to prevent anyone from drawing close.

But when they saw the danger their boss had been in, they immediately began to bring out their trained instincts.

“Hmph!” Boulder and Lin Yanan had a little snort of disdain. Neither of them had heard what Liao Junhua had spoken to Wang Chao and had only watched from afar. But from what Lin Yanan and Zhao Xinglong could see, Wang Chao had been able to win despite having the fight be one against two.

Zhao Xinglong’s heart had been boiling with anger, “Wang Chao’s martial arts was only a little better than my own a few years back. Right now, he has really improved to the point where he’s not even the same person anymore. I cannot let myself lose to him so much!”

Lin Yanan had thought of something different, “Although Cao Yi had made use of his experience in politics to motivate everyone when he said to the organization that Wang Chao would rule the world, but Wang Chao having strength is truly a fact. The possibility for him to sweep the Japanese martial arts world is not an impossibility. His strength is...truly terrifying. Even if my master were to fight with him, the chances of winning would not even exist.”

“Brother Dai, what’s wrong?”

A single black windbreaker and hat wearing man came towards Dai Jun and stepped in front of him. Fishing out a miniature pistol from his windbreaker, he pointed the gun at Wang Chao and gave a sharp look to Dai Jun at the same time.

“He Yao, lay down your pistol!” Dai Jun spat out a few words despite the pain.

These two groups of bodyguards were clearly both Dai Jun and Liao Junhua’s.

Liao Junhua were all dressed in various forms of training uniforms. As if they were military trained, the moment they heard the order, they immediately lined up behind Liao Junhua and Dai Jun.

The bodyguards of Dai Jun were all wearing black western suits and had valiant looks. Several of them had clear scars that spoke volumes of their experience in fighting and killing. These men had looked as if they hadn’t heard Dai Jun’s order, making it seem as though the windbreaker wearing man was their leader.

“Brother Dai, but...you...if news of this gets out...it would hurt the reputation of our Pujing Corporation...”

He Yao had given Dai Jun a look and spoke several vague words, but the meaning behind it was clear: “You are Dai Jun of the Three Tigers of Guangdong. Even though this was a private match, you cannot lose. Rather than letting the news be circulated out, it would be better to kill everyone here.”

Dai Jun was a board member of the Pujing Corporation. However, the biggest stockholder within the group was He Hongshen, a person from Macau. Around 90% of the stocks had belonged to the He family.

“Stand down and put down your gun!” Liao Junhua hadn’t expected to see even his senior be unable to control his subordinates.

Liao Junhua’s voice had been extremely imposing and had instantly cowed He Yao for a moment before recovering just as quickly.

“My apologies, chief Liao. I have explained this before. No matter what, we must protect brother Dai’s reputation. Besides, you and Dai Jun are fellow disciples. If word of todays events were to leak out, would you still have any face left? Would master Zhu Hongzhi have any face left? So, it would be best if you stay out of this and let us deal with it.”

He Yao laughed before cocking the hammer on his pistol with a click.

With this sudden development, even Wang Chao had no idea that Dai Jun would have no control over his own subordinates.

“Preposterous!” Liao Junhua had kept his anger better than expected, but it had still made his face go gray. Originally this had been a match to compare notes. He hadn’t expect that in the end, a nobody would dare stick their heads in.

But, He Yao had a gun and other people who had guns tucked away at their waists. Danger was imminent with them.

If things went south, then there would be a gun battle.

The gangsters from the Macau casinos were all accustomed to murder and death. Liao Junhua held a heavy importance, and so if there was any trouble from anyone else, it could be a disastrous event.

Just at that moment, a tiny red dot appeared on the top of He Yao’s temples. This red dot was tiny, but it was extremely noticeable.

“Brother Yao, crap!”

“Brother Yao! There’s a sniper aiming at you!”

Straight away, one of the more observant subordinates had cried out an alarm! Immediately following, the others had realized that they themselves had also an identical red dot on their foreheads.

There was a total of 10 bodyguards with Dai Jun, and another 10 with Liao Junhua. However, the only ones with red dots on their hands were those under Dai Jun’s ‘control’.

“You overestimate yourself!” Lin Yanan uttered out a command before raising her hand up into the sky with a finger pointing downwards.

Bang! Bang! Two gunshots could be heard just barely over the sounds of the ocean waves.

He Yao had a single bullet hole through his temple. With a clatter, He Yao fell to the ground.

As for his gun, it had been a bullet shot straight through the barrel and exploded right in front of his chest, causing his entire arm to be reduced to a pulp.

As it turns out, two snipers had already made their preparations. Even if He Yao had tried to fire, they would be able to accurately shoot a bullet straight in the direction of his bullet and intercept it. What type of marksman was this? A godly marksman! Even a sniper god wouldn’t be able to do such an act.

The power of the organization was enough to kill any existence that didn’t agree with them!

“If you all don’t move, then I will guarantee your life. But if you move even a finger, then your temples will gain another hole like that guy over there.”

Lin yanan stood right in front of Wang Chao and spoke with a calm composure.

Just as Lin Yanan spoke, eight people had leapt out from their hiding spots behind giant stones, trees and hills. Each one wore camouflage clothing with a helmeted face and crystal liquid lenses to aid their sights.

“Night vision devices?” Liao Junhua had immediately recognized their equipment. This was the newest modeled vision devices that used infrared scans to detect heat sources and were usually for night time battles. It also helped a marksman lock onto a target, alert the others and many other functions.

In the battles in Iraq, only the most vanguard soldiers from the United States had access to this advanced weaponry.

These eight people held AKs and quickly charged forward to protect Wang Chao and Lin Yanan behind them.

Their movements had been swift and were clearly a class higher than Liao Junhua’s bodyguards.

At the same time, the red dots on the bodyguards of Dai Jun had yet to disappear. Clearly, there were still several hidden snipers waiting in the forests.

“Chief Liao, please protect Master Dai and move away! The others, kneel down now!”

As if he was Death coming up from Hell to reap some souls, Boulder came forward with his AK pointing at several of Dai Jun’s bodyguards.

With quaking legs, the men slowly knelt down onto the sandy beach.

WIth no other choice, even the most valiant of men would have their spirit crumble apart with a red dot trained on their temples.

After they had knelt down to the ground, Boulder, Axe, and Hammer had came forward to smash their heads with the butts of their guns and searching them for any guns.

“Master Dai, these are your men, how should we deal with them?”

Lin Yanan walked forward to look at Dai Jun.

At that moment, Dai Jun and Liao Junhua had already been stunned at the spectacle happening right in front of them. Giving each other a look, the two men had a clearly stunned expression on their faces.

They were men that had seen many things, but when they saw this, they were both shocked.

Since when was Wang Chao an experts of martial arts? He was simply a high class commanding officer of a military district!

“The European Union is truly very strong.” Liao Junhua and Dai Jun both thought to themselves in unision.

“That He Yao was the second son to the He family. Elder He Hongshen is getting it on with the years and so the entire family is vying for power. Even us outsiders find it difficult to escape this power struggle due to being a stockholder.”

Sweating profusely, Dai Jun spoke out some words with difficulty.

“Those men are just shadows, please do forgive them.”

“Thank you brother Dai, thank you....”

“I don’t know what overtook He Yao’s mind just then...”

“His commands as the second son was to make you an enemy, it’s fortunate we didn’t listen to him.”

Just at that moment, Liao Junhua had finally spoke out after recollecting himself, “Look after these men for a while, I’ll send a message to Elder He in Macau in a moment.”

Wang Chao had regarded this chain of events with a peaceful calm and handed it over to Lin Yanan to deal with.

Seeing that everything was settled, he couldn’t help but force a smile, “We call ourselves master of martial arts in vain. In the end, we ended up being pulled along by a clown.”

“Stuff his body in a burlap and weigh it with stones to feed the fishes in the sea!”

Liao Junhua commanded fiercely. The calm princeling had finally brought out the sharp claws and tooth he had hidden.

“Xinglong, you and the rest should return first. With so many people here now, let’s try to avoid any more trouble. Lin Yanan and I will be going to chief Liao’s place as guests.” Wang Chao looked back to Boulder and Zhao Xinglong. Boulder had only nodded his head before quickly disappearing into the forests without a trace.

Afterwards, the red dots on everyone’s temples had disappeared as well.

By a seaside villa in Qingdao City.

Dai Jun sat on a yellow rosewood chair as Wang Chao pressed on his abdomen with his hand and slowly moved about.

His hand was slowly circulating Hidden Jin around, causing Wang Chao’s own heart to fluctuate with the effort.

Closing his eyes and slowly circulating the Jin, Wang Chao began to meld the Hidden Jin into a needle like form.

After doing this for a while, he finally took back his hand.

“Alright, I can sense the Hidden Jin entering your pores and cleared away the obstructions.”

As Wang Chao raised his hand, a layer of sweat could be seen on it.

Dai Jun let out a breath in relief as he no longer felt any pain. Taking in a deep breath, he opened his eyes and spoke, “I never would have imagined that your Hidden Jin could be manipulated to turn soft. How remarkable. Zhang Wei losing at your hand is not a wrongful loss.”

“That isn’t true. This one trick was something I learned from Chen Aiyang.” Wang Chao shook his head with a laugh. “Today’s battle on the beach was just coincidental. I wasn’t being modest, with your strengths, the both of you are my equal at the very least. If this was a true battle to the death, then victory would be unclear.”

“Chen Aiyang!” Dai Jun shook his head. “He is a genius. He and I have fought several times, and I’ve lost seven times out of ten.”

“Ah, Master Dai, what was that matter with He Yao?” Liao Junhua asked.

“Ah, you should know that once upon a time, I saved He Hongshen’s life. As repayment, he gave me several stocks in the Pujing Corporation. Otherwise, I never would have had such a large property. As for the rest of the matters, you should be able to guess that there is a family conflict, and I am the fish that suffers when the firefighters drains the water to fight the fire.”

Dai Jun was obviously not willing to talk more about it.

“And how may I call you?” Liao Junhua nodded without saying anything more as he looked to the Lin Yanan who was sipping a cup of tea from the sidelines.

Lin Yanan had prepared to speak before suddenly, a single voice came calling out from outside the group.

“Brother Liao, brother Liao! Are you there? I asked your men and they all said you were in Qingdao City. Do you mind if I come on over?”

This voice was obviously a girl, and when Wang Chao heard this voice, he didn’t know why, but he felt that this voice was familiar to him.

“I want to make a large scale documentary about the true lifestyles of the Chinese who live abroad. Brother Liao, you were once in the American Chinese Association, help me by telling me some secrets, it’ll be a great help for my abroad trip to film later this year.”

The doors opened up to reveal a woman come running in.

Wang Chao’s eyes looked to the character, only to reveal that it was the woman he had not seen for a very long time, Zhu Jia.
