CHAPTER 257: 【133】TARGET LOCKED, AN INESCAPABLE NET_3

A stunning long-legged beauty in professional attire walked by, her figure curvaceous and alluring. At this moment, she casually tied her long hair into a high ponytail at the back of her head, cradling a bowl of instant noodles in her hand and devouring it heartily.

"The killer of Tan Yuejin should be the person who just left the Four Poison Hall. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be another death at the Four Poison Hall tonight. Liu Yan, investigate this; we need to get in touch with this person. Perhaps we can reach a collaboration with him. We, the Asia police, want to put an end to East Asia’s chaos. I have a premonition that in the future, this person will definitely be a great help."

The man with the fisherman’s hat pulled up the curtain, turned around, and said with great certainty.

...

Early the next morning.

An earth-shattering news broke out in the underground of Zhiming City. One of the founders of the Four Poison Hall, Ma Bomeng, died.

He was beaten to death in the Four Poison Hall. Both Tan Yuejin and Ma Bomeng were giants of the Four Poison Hall. Losing two people in succession has a massive impact on the Four Poison Hall.

In the past, it was the three brothers who held the fort, allowing the Four Poison Hall to maintain its position as the top martial artist force in Vietnam.

Now, with only Qiao Qichong remaining, it’s unknown how many local dojos and karate halls are eager to seize the market business of the Four Poison Hall and knock it from its number one throne.

And there’s one thing that no one has said, but everyone knows in their heart.

That is, with Tan Yuejin and Ma Bomeng dead, the next one will obviously soon be Qiao Qichong.

A storm strong enough to shake Vietnam’s underground is quietly brewing. The day Qiao Qichong also dies will be the day Vietnam’s underground undergoes a complete reshuffle.

There are two great halls in the Four Poison Hall, respectively used by Ma Bomeng and Qiao Qichong.

Today, in the hall where Qiao Qichong practices, the atmosphere is extremely heavy and solemn. Forty plus martial artists summoned by Four Poison Hall stand in the hall, their expressions grim, eyes fierce.

In the center of the hall stands a three-meter-tall bronze furnace, currently ablaze within, emitting a fragrance of herbs and wood that soothes the mind and invigorates the spirit.

"Master Ma died last night, beaten to death."

Qiao Qichong, thin as a skeleton, squinted his eyes into slits, standing under the bronze furnace and speaking plainly.

Although he used little strength in his speech, his voice resounded throughout the hall, buzzing incessantly.

"I am willing to avenge Master Ma. No matter if it’s climbing mountains of swords or plunging into seas of fire, I will surely cut off the villain’s head and bring it back to accompany Master Ma’s burial!"

"If we don’t avenge Master Ma, we will have no peace in sleep or appetite! We must carve up that murderer!"

A group of martial artists knelt down on both knees, righteously shouting loudly.

You could see a kind of emotion called anger on each of their faces.

"Revenge must be had, that’s for sure. I was as close as brothers with Tan Yuejin and Ma Bomeng. If I don’t avenge this hatred, I am unworthy of being their big brother. Moreover, this time, Ma Bomeng died on our Four Poison Hall’s territory. This is a provocation to our Four Poison Hall. This insult, the entire Four Poison Hall must make that guy pay for his actions."

Even though Qiao Qichong’s voice was gentle, there was a hint of malice revealed in his tone.

The consecutive deaths of the two junior brothers at the hands of others made him feel a slight threat of death.

The next one will likely be coming for him.

"Second Uncle, the guests have arrived!"

At this moment, a shout came from outside the hall.

Everyone turned their eyes to see Chen Chongyue, with a black cloth on his arm, striding in aggressively.

Behind him followed a giant fat man over two meters tall, pale-faced, looking revived like a dead person.

If not for the limbs that could still move freely, anyone would instinctively think this was a zombie.

A few meters behind the two, leisurely followed two men.

The former had a Japan Island-style topknot, wore sportswear, and held a cigarette, appearing very disheveled and weathered.

The latter, just by looking, was extremely remarkable.

This was a robust man approaching 190cm, wearing a tailored suit, with a Rolex on his wrist and a big gold ring on his finger, exuding a rich upstart vibe.

At the sight of this man, Qiao Qichong in the hall couldn’t help but have a vein pop on his forehead, showing a look of extreme apprehension towards the person.

"Mr. Xiaogong Huangquanfeng!"

Heaven and Earth Alliance, known throughout East Asia for its martial artist force, has five elders beneath the Alliance Leader, which is something many are aware of.

These five elders are representatives of families controlling vast resources. Their money and power form the foundation of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

That’s why the Heaven and Earth Alliance can progress so smoothly in their research on human drugs.

And Xiaogong Huangquanfeng is the president of East Asia’s renowned investment company, Xiaogong Investments, and also the head of the Xiaogong Clan.

To get him to take action, in the past, Qiao Qichong wouldn’t even dare think about it, because the price to move Xiaogong Huangquanfeng is high, requiring the corpse of a Huajin Grandmaster.

No one knows what peculiar hobby Xiaogong Huangquanfeng has, but that’s his rule.

"Mr. Xiaogong, welcome." As Xiaogong Huangquanfeng entered the hall, Qiao Qichong immediately stepped forward to greet and enthusiastically reached out to shake hands with him.

Unexpectedly, Xiaogong Huangquanfeng only glanced at him, showing no intention of shaking hands, and instead coldly said, "Hall Master Qiao, it seems like you usually have close ties with the White Lotus Society over there."

Chen Chongyue’s expression changed slightly and quickly translated for Qiao Qichong.
