Free Web NovelChapter 248: Chapter 248: Avenging the Disciple
"Second Brother, when the time comes, bring more people to the northern part of the county and have them conceal themselves in the mountains on the border with Zao City. Sun San and I will return from there."
Wang Hao instructed Sun San’s older brother.
"What, you guys have your fun fighting and you don’t include me, and now you want me to line up to welcome you?"
Sun San’s older brother was very unhappy with the arrangement, rolling his eyes in displeasure. Ever since arriving in Chicheng County, he had been itching for a fight and hadn’t had a chance to scratch that itch for a long time.
"Second Brother, think about it, whether we win or lose, do you think Wild Bear would let us come back easily?"
"What are you implying?"
"No matter whether we win or lose, Wild Bear will definitely send someone to kill Sun San and me. We’ll find a way to escape and come back from the north of the county."
"You’ll ambush them there first. When Wild Bear’s men come after us, you can catch them off guard and beat as many of them down as you can. How does that sound?"
Wang Hao gave Sun San’s older brother a meaningful look.
The moment Sun San’s older brother heard that he could fight to his heart’s content, his mood instantly improved, his smile so wide he could barely close his mouth, and he immediately agreed.
Just before leaving the gambling den, Sun San couldn’t help but give Wang Hao a thumbs up. He had to admit that Wang Hao had thoroughly figured out the temperaments of all three brothers.
He also valued the three brothers greatly and was very thorough in his considerations.
"Where are we preparing to go now?"
Wang Hao asked as soon as they got into the car.
"According to process, we should go report in first, and then draw lots to determine the order of appearance. This competition is different from regular matches; all the drawn numbers are confidential."
"So before the match starts, nobody knows who their opponent will be?"
Sun San briefly explained the rules of the competition to Wang Hao.
"Are there any other rules during the match?"
Wang Hao asked further.
"No, there’s no referee, and no one is held responsible even if there’s a death!"
Sun San’s older brother’s expression suddenly turned grave.
"Great, very good!"
Wang Hao’s mouth curved up slightly, revealing a mischievous smile.
As night fell, Zao City remained lively.
In Zao City, located in the northern part of Hunan, the people, as though embodying the mystery of the land itself, preferred to be active at night. The streets would become particularly bustling after sunset.
The underground ring in Zao City was not held in a literal underground location but in an extremely covert club, which was also operated by Wild Bear, hence it was called the Xiong Meng Club.
The Xiong Meng Club was one of the largest clubs in Zao City.
The boxing match held in the club was simply using the venue to shield its darker side.
When Wang Hao and Sun San arrived at the Xiong Meng Club, the place was already packed.
"Billy—Billy—"p>
As soon as the two walked into the club, they were met with deafening chants.
They saw a man with bulging muscles and a fierce-looking tawny complexion being surrounded by a large crowd.
Wild Bear stood beside this person. freewёbnoνel.com
Clearly, this Billy was the professional boxer Wild Bear had brought in.
"Do you remember the foreigner you left crippled last time in the northern county?"
Sun San’s older brother talked at length with Wang Hao at the back of the crowd, their voices raised to be heard over the noise.
"The one who dismissed our Chinese martial arts?"
Wang Hao frowned slightly.
"Yes!"
Sun San then pointed to Billy, who was standing beside the bear, and said.
"This Billy is his master, a professional boxer, and he has won quite a few championships. He’s here this time to avenge his disciple, otherwise with the bear’s strength, he wouldn’t have been able to invite him at all!"
After speaking, Sun San couldn’t help but glance at his own right hand.
"My hand was crushed by him that day!"
Sun San was somewhat worried. After all, the opponent was a highly skilled professional boxer who had much more boxing expertise and competition experience than Wang Hao.
Even the organized boxing matches had rules to follow, but the underground ring fights had none.
This was both an advantage and a disadvantage for Wang Hao, but if anything really happened to Wang Hao, Sun San would probably never be able to rest easy for the rest of his life.
"Now that we’ve encountered an old foe, it’s a blessing, not a curse. If it is a curse, you can’t avoid it. Sooner or later we’ll have to fight, so why not win fair and square here!"
Wang Hao took a close look at Billy.
He wasn’t particularly tall, but his muscles bulged, and his veins were exposed, making him look very solid. This physique was clearly built for boxing, and he seemed like he would be tough to deal with.
However, the current Wang Hao was not the same as before. After going through so much, the dragon tattoo energy within him had grown stronger and stronger, and he had a lot of confidence in himself.
"Yo, Lord Sun San, you’ve finally arrived! I thought you were too scared to come!"
When the bear saw Sun San, he immediately walked over.
"Lord Sun San, where’s the boxer you brought?"
The bear glanced around Sun San, completely ignoring Wang Hao and an insignificant-looking lackey beside him. It was an obvious provocation.
"I heard someone here beat my disciple, and I really want to see who has such capability. Did that person come today? Let me have a look!"
Upon hearing it was Sun San, Billy glared with fury and stood in front of Sun San, provoking him.
"What, are you planning to start a fight with me now?"
Sun San said coldly, looking at Billy’s stance.
"Fight with you? Do you even have a hand left to fight with me?"
Billy laughed loudly, looking disdainfully at Sun San’s right hand.
To him, Sun San was nothing more than a defeated foe, hardly worth mentioning, because it was his kick that had broken Sun San’s hand.
Sun San’s expression changed drastically after hearing this, and just moving his arm caused him to wince in pain.
"Haha, Lord Sun San, looks like you’ve deteriorated inside these past few years. A couple of light kicks from Billy and you’re broken. You’re not what you used to be!"
The bear mocked Sun San along with him.
The rich and influential figures who had come to participate in the ring boxing match, as well as those who came to watch, were all well-known within the vicinity of Zao City.
These people also knew Sun San and had varying degrees of past acquaintances with him, some even had sparred with him.
They had always admired Sun San’s right hand which was as powerful as a gun, with a stone thrown from that hand landing with deadly accuracy.
Because Sun San’s hand had survived five heavy strikes from a steel rod and still managed to retaliate by throwing stones with precision to kill the opponent.
So when they heard that Billy had fractured Sun San’s right hand with just a couple of light kicks, they were astonished.
Sun San’s reputation earlier had been on par with that of the bear. freewёbnoνel.com
Had it not been for Sun San’s misfortune of getting caught five years ago, they might have believed that all of Zao City would belong to Sun San by now.
Unfortunately, Sun San had fallen into bad company and was put away for five years.
Seeing that Sun San didn’t respond, the bear continued to provoke.
"Lord Sun San, you’re not planning to compete yourself, are you? With your current shape, you’d probably be down with one move, you’d better admit defeat early to avoid a beating! Hahaha..."
