Chapter 150 Cai Xiangdong’s Follow-up Move_1
“Those of you with minor injuries, go and check everyone in the Tiger Garden to prevent any unauthorized video recording and uploading online. Third brother, contact our in-house doctor and tell him to prepare the operation table, and it’s best to call in a few more bone-setters.” Brother Long, holding his arm, instructed Third Brother.
The subordinates he brought along this time, except for Third Brother, who was a scholar-turned-warrior, were almost all injured. Even Brother Long himself had an arm broken by Xu Fan. This loss marked the biggest defeat for Night Castle since its establishment.
“Yes, I will contact the doctor immediately,” Third Brother replied, bowing his head to Brother Long.
“Ah, I really shouldn’t have been impulsive. You had warned me, yet I still came. If I had been a bit more restrained, things wouldn’t have turned out like this,” Brother Long said to Third Brother with a hint of regret.
Just now in the pavilion, Third Brother had indeed warned him, but Brother Long was too enraged to listen. Now it seemed that Third Brother, the gang’s strategist, truly was a master at assessing the situation.
“Brother Long, our main force is almost entirely injured, and we won’t be able to hide it for long. I’m afraid other powers will soon seize the opportunity to encroach on our Jiangtan Road territory,” Third Brother said cautiously while standing next to Brother Long.
Brother Long’s brows furrowed. He had anticipated what Third Brother said. Although Night Castle was the foremost power on Jiangtan Road, the criminal underworld was not child’s play. Once your strength is compromised, others will undoubtedly come to kick you while you’re down. That’s how cruel and realistic it is.
“Don’t worry, we still have dozens of people. Nothing unexpected will happen. By the way, didn’t two factions want to join Night Castle as our vassals last time? When you get back, get in touch with them, and I hope we can make it through this time,” Brother Long said with some anxiety to Third Brother.
“Of course, Brother Long, rest assured. We won’t expand during this time, just quietly hold our ground. I think there won’t be any problems. If we gather another batch of followers, we should be fairly stable,” Third Brother calculated and assured Brother Long.
“I hope so. We must investigate before we act from now on, dammit!” Brother Long spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva onto the ground, his heart bleeding.
His Night Castle had the potential to contend for the title of Southern City overlord, but after this incident, it would be good enough to hold onto Jiangtan Street. As for competing for the overlord title again, that opportunity likely wouldn’t come for another two or three years.
“Cai Xiangdong, I definitely won’t let you off!” Brother Long said through gritted teeth.
Meanwhile, Xu Fan, Xu Yixue, and the others were unaffected by Brother Long and his men, continuing their day out at Changlong Zoo with Tongtong.
After visiting the Asian Pavilion for a while, Xu Fan took Tongtong to the African Pavilion, Australian Pavilion, and American Pavilion as well.
Since Europe doesn’t have any particularly famous animals, Xu Fan had decided to skip it altogether.
During the visit, after getting Xu Yixue’s permission, Xu Fan took Tongtong into the zoo several times, allowing her to touch at least seven or eight different animals.
However, they were all animals that looked cute and were not aggressive.
For other animals like African Lions and Siberian Snow Leopards that posed a greater danger, even if Tongtong pleaded desperately, Xu Yixue would not allow Xu Fan to take her inside, and Xu Fan also didn’t want Tongtong to become recklessly fearless, so he didn’t insist and dropped the idea of letting Tongtong touch such dangerous animals.
Even so, by the end of the visit, Tongtong was still overjoyed.
While others could only look at the animals from behind fences, she had Xu Fan, her powerful dad, who could not only enter the inner parts of the zoo but also command the animals, allowing Tongtong to have close encounters with them.
Such an experience truly made the trip worthwhile.
Before leaving, Xu Fan took the group to the coldest place in Changlong Zoo, the Polar Pavilion.
Even without Xu Fan’s ice attribute Spiritual Energy, Xu Yixue would not feel hot here because it was simply too cold.
The Polar Pavilion, with its several high-power refrigeration units, had transformed the interior into a scene resembling an icy snowscape. And living inside were Blue Star’s most famous cute creatures—the Polar Bears and Antarctic Penguins.
After persistent pleading by the little girl, Xu Yixue finally opened her golden mouth and reluctantly agreed to let Xu Fan take Tongtong for a quick visit to this man-made mountain of ice.
Inside the icy mountain lived a group of penguins and two snow-white Polar Bears.
Under the command of Xu Fan’s Five Spirits Sea of Consciousness, a large white Polar Bear obediently came over and became Tongtong’s mount, taking her for an ice-skating ride.
A few penguins also gathered around Tongtong and performed a tap dance unique to the penguin family.
Amidst Tongtong’s joyous laughter, the four of them walked out of the Polar Pavilion.
By this time, the sun had already set, and Xu Fan led the three of them slowly towards the exit of Changlong Zoo.
A man with gold-rimmed glasses sat quietly in a Mercedes in the parking lot and suddenly spotted Xu Fan and the others exiting the zoo and getting into Xu Fan’s Audi.
A vicious look flashed in Cai Xiangdong’s eyes.
He had just received a call from Brother Long, who not only failed to deal with Xu Fan but was also beaten up by Xu Fan. Cai Xiangdong had witnessed this scene in the zoo.
Yet, in the call, Brother Long pretended as if he had accomplished everything and asked him to transfer the money first and then arranged to meet him.
Cai Xiangdong knew that Brother Long had bitten off more than he could chew and wanted to capture him to vent his frustration.
The clever Cai Xiangdong immediately hung up on Brother Long’s call and stealthily slipped away.
Now, as Cai Xiangdong saw Xu Fan and Xu Yixue coming out, he pressed his phone and then sent a text message.
He was an American-educated returnee who, due to not knowing the local powers in Zhonghai City, had only been able to resort to Brother Long. But just then, the Black Glove Family organization from America had surprisingly responded to him. Coincidentally, two hitmen from the Black Glove Family were vacationing in Yan Country. If Cai Xiangdong could afford the price, then the American Black Glove Family wouldn’t mind working an extra shift for Cai Xiangdong during their vacation.
After composing the message, Cai Xiangdong forcefully hit the send button.
The message contained the information of Xu Fan and Xu Yixue. What use was physical strength? This was the era of firearms, and only thugs like Brother Long would rely on fists to intimidate.
The American Black Glove Family had been using Thompson submachine guns for decades.
Cai Xiangdong believed that, as long as the Americans took action, taking down Xu Fan would be a piece of cake.
Now, watching Xu Fan’s Audi start up, Cai Xiangdong followed at a distance again.
If a thug like Brother Long can’t handle you, then I will find real hitmen to finish the job! Cai Xiangdong watched the distant white Audi and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
