Chapter 456: Want to change territory and become the boss
The competition lasted about ten minutes, and A-long won in the end, but Huo Han was also quite satisfied with Liu Cheng's performance.
Huo Han walked forward and patted Liu Cheng on the shoulder: "You are quite courageous and capable. But in my territory, you have to abide by my rules. Are you willing?" Liu Cheng stared into Huo Han's eyes, was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "I do."
Huo Han smiled faintly. "If that's the case, then from today on, you're mine. Remember, strength is important, but it's more important to follow the rules and respect your elders."
Liu Cheng nodded again, and Huo Han turned and left the competition arena.
The third round began. The challenger's face was ruthless, clearly ready to give it his all. He knew this was his last chance; if he lost again, his reputation and standing in the martial arts world would plummet.
Xiaohu didn't let his guard down, facing his opponent with complete concentration. He knew this victory meant a lot to Huo Han, and he couldn't afford to lose. The two fighters clashed once more, back and forth, a fierce battle. The audience held their breath, watching the intense fight.
At a crucial moment in the match, the challenger suddenly turned over, pulled a knife from his waist, and slashed directly at Xiaohu. Everyone on the field was shocked by this sudden scene, and Huo Han was also slightly stunned. He did not expect the opponent to go back on his word so drastically.
Seeing the flash of the knife, Xiaohu subconsciously dodged to the side with a look of fear in his eyes.
Huo Han stood up quickly and looked at the challenger coldly: "What do you want to do? This is a competition, not a fight. You actually use weapons?"
The challenger looked at Huo Han in shock, as if he hadn't expected Huo Han to discover his plan so easily. He gritted his teeth, not letting go of the knife in his hand.
Huo Han slowly walked down from the main seat and onto the field. He fixed his eyes on the challenger and spoke slowly, "Put down the knife. This match ends here. You've already lost."
The challenger's face was pale and the knife in his hand was shaking. He knew that he had lost, not only the game, but also his reputation and dignity.
Huo Han looked at him and continued, "There are rules in the martial arts world, and competitions have bottom lines. What you did today has violated the rules of the martial arts world. You should leave and stop embarrassing yourself."
The challenger finally put down his knife, his eyes filled with fear and confusion. He glanced at Huo Han in disappointment, then turned and left the arena.
Huo Han turned back to the main seat and sat down. His face didn't show much expression, only a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
Aaron walked over and asked carefully, "Boss Huo, this incident is so unexpected. How do you think we should deal with it?"
Huo Han was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "In the martial arts world, people's hearts are unpredictable. Although what happened today was unexpected, it wasn't entirely accidental. They had ulterior motives and had been prepared for this. However, this also serves as a wake-up call for us; we can't let our guard down."
Aaron nodded, agreeing deeply.
Huo Han continued, "Let's put today's events aside for now. We'll discuss them in detail when we get back. Today's victory is only temporary. We still have a long way to go in the martial arts world. We can't let a momentary victory make us forget the dangers lurking around us."
Aaron nodded again. Huo Han's words made him admire and trust Huo Han's wisdom and courage even more.
The spectators at the competition venue gradually dispersed. Today's match had left a deep impression on them, but it also made them realize that the road of the underworld is treacherous and complex, and they must never be careless.
Huo Han stood up and slowly walked out of the arena. He knew that while today's events had temporarily subsided, the turmoil in the martial arts world was still raging. He needed to remain vigilant at all times to maintain his footing in this complex world.
The atmosphere at the competition venue remained heavy, and Huo Han's words resonated in everyone's mind. He had not only demonstrated his strength in the competition, but also, through his words, he had highlighted his status in the martial arts world and his life creed.
Huo Han looked at the people around him coldly, then slowly said, "If you want to change territories, want to be the boss, the door is open, come and challenge me. But remember, if you lose the challenge, you can only be a subordinate. If you use underhanded means, you will deserve to be killed or beaten. I, Huo Han, walk an upright path in the martial arts world. I am not afraid of challenges, but I will never condone crooked ways."
His words were firm and powerful, and his eyes were so sharp that no one in the audience dared to look him in the eye.
Outside the venue, the crowd was buzzing with discussion. Huo Han's methods surprised and awed them.
"I didn't expect Huo Han to be so good at this. He used a knife to kill someone. He didn't say yes or no at the beginning, but he actually let the other party participate in the competition and was crippled."
"Well, it seems that Huo Han's reputation is not earned in vain. His methods and momentum are truly unmatched by ordinary people."
"Who will dare to challenge Huo Han easily in the future? This time has taught everyone a profound lesson."
People sighed and their awe for Huo Han grew.
Huo Han's men were also standing by, and they also felt that Huo Han's performance this time was unexpectedly decisive and tough.
One of them whispered to the other, "Brother, what you did today serves as a warning to those who are so reckless. From now on, I'm afraid no one in the martial arts world will dare to look down on you."
Another person nodded in agreement: "That's right, Big Brother has always been about rules and bottom lines. Today's incident is a warning to those who don't understand the rules."
Huo Han's influence and reputation were further strengthened in this competition. He not only spoke with strength, but also took this opportunity to declare his position and principles to the world.
From then on, people in the martial arts world were even more in awe of Huo Han. They knew that this man was not only powerful, but also had firm beliefs and principles, and was not easily provoked or teased.
… ·
Huo Han sat back in the main seat and looked at the empty competition venue. He knew in his heart that everything he did today was to establish his own status and reputation.
Lian Haolong, who had been missing for a while, reappeared, and the news quickly reached Huo Han. Huo Han knew that Lian Haolong was no ordinary character, and his appearance must be related to something important. He decided to go and find out for himself.
When Lian Haolong saw Huo Han and his men approaching, he smiled warmly and approached him, looking calm and collected. "Brother Huo, long time no see. How are you?"
As Huo Han shook hands with Lian Haolong, he glanced around warily, sensing something was amiss. Just as he was about to delve deeper into what had happened after Lian Haolong's disappearance, he saw Lian Haolong approaching a woman with a fawning expression on his face.
The woman was dressed elegantly, with delicate features and a haughty demeanor, clearly of high social status. Seeing Huo Han approaching with a group of people, curiosity flickered in her eyes. "Lian Haolong, who are these people?" the woman asked coldly.
When Lian Haolong heard the question, his face changed, and he seemed a little scared. He quickly replied: "Brother Huo Han, you have heard of the person who made me fail."
When the woman heard Huo Han's name, her eyes lit up and she looked directly at him. "So you are the man of the underworld, Huo Han. I heard you are quite powerful. Since you are here, why don't you tell me what you are here for?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Han became even more certain that this woman was no ordinary "Yi Qi Qi." Her attitude toward Lian Haolong and her questions revealed a strong desire for control. He decided to observe her first.
"I just heard that Brother Lian Haolong appeared, so I wanted to come and see him and ask him what happened after he disappeared for so long." Huo Han said lightly.
The woman sneered, "Just a greeting? Huo Han, there's no need to use such sweet words. If you have something to say, just speak frankly."
Huo Han's expression became more serious, and he turned and walked towards Lian Haolong and the woman again. Seeing Lian Haolong's flattering look, Huo Han couldn't help but frown.
Lian Haolong, you are my second in command, and you disappeared without saying anything. Now you come back without even saying hello. Don’t you think it’s a bit unfair? Huo Han said bluntly.
Lian Haolong's face changed, and he looked a little embarrassed. The woman sneered and interrupted without any hesitation: "Huo Han, if you want to hold someone accountable, just ask me directly. I took Lian Haolong away. What's the problem?"
Huo Han showed an incredible expression on his face. He didn't expect this woman to admit it so directly.
Who are you? Why did you take Lian Haolong away? Huo Han's voice was full of questioning.
The woman glanced at Huo Han and said slowly, "My name is not important. What's important is that Lian Haolong is mine now and no longer belongs to you. As for why I took him away, that's not something you need to know."
Huo Han's rage was completely ignited, and he said sternly: Lian Haolong, you betrayed me and followed her?
Lian Haolong lowered his head, not daring to look into Huo Han's eyes, and stammered: "Brother, I... I...
There is nothing more to say. The woman interrupted Lian Haolong and turned to him and said: Let’s go, Lian Haolong.
Then, she looked at Huo Han coldly and turned away first.
Lian Haolong glanced at Huo Han, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he followed the woman.
Huo Han stood there, burning with rage, watching his second-in-command being taken away by that mysterious woman, anger and confusion intertwined in his heart.
Huo Han's men looked at his expression and knew that their eldest brother was in a complicated mood at the moment, but they still couldn't bear to give up Lian Haolong.
Big brother, do you want to chase them and attack them? We can't just let them take Lian Haolong away like this! One of the men said anxiously.
Huo Han was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "No, this isn't the time to act. You all saw that woman is no ordinary person. Since she was able to take Lian Haolong away, her power and scheming must be immense. If we act rashly now, we'll probably fall into her trap."
His men nodded in understanding. Although they were extremely anxious, they also knew that their eldest brother was right.
Huo Han continued: "What we need to do now is to arrange for someone to check the identity of that woman and find out her background and purpose. Since she can run rampant in the world,
She's so domineering, she must have something to rely on. We must be careful and not let her easily see through our intentions.
