Chapter 1343: Chapter 1343: The Fall of Black Shark
Ye Fan, Zhang Lu, Yang Shu, and Shen Tingting glanced at Black Shark and then calmed down. The four maintained their seated positions without any reaction, nor did they hurry to strike at Black Shark.
General Hawan didn’t have much to say either. He couldn’t openly declare that the four in front of him were from the Peng Bird group, and came for Black Shark’s life. Since Ye Fan and the others weren’t in a hurry to act, he could only remain silent.
In fact, once Black Shark arrived, General Hawan really felt relieved; a life for a life, as long as no accidents occurred, it was fine.
General Hawan was indeed afraid of encountering unforeseen accidents. If Black Shark sensed anything unusual, then it would be his life at stake — that’s a clear logic that couldn’t be ignored.
Black Shark approached elegantly, with a joyous expression, especially when his gaze fell upon Zhang Lu, Yang Shu, and Shen Tingting, it shone with delight.
Ye Fan and the others had undergone simple disguises, making it impossible for General Hawan and Black Shark to recognize their true appearances.
Even when General Hawan was held hostage, he didn’t know that the people holding him were none other than the fearsome and terrifying Peng Bird group. He was chased by Peng Bird while fleeing, suffering heavy losses, and remained unaware of what the seven members of Peng Bird truly looked like.
Black Shark didn’t know either; during the confrontation, the seven people he saw had their faces covered with oil paint. He couldn’t recognize a single person, and even if he saw their real faces, he wouldn’t remember them. Not to mention Ye Fan and the others had disguised themselves.
Concealing their true faces was a necessary step in this operation — as long as their true identities weren’t revealed, any disguise was acceptable.
"General Hawan, who’s this brother? Won’t you introduce me?" Black Shark smiled curiously as he looked at Ye Fan.
He only knew that General Hawan had prepared good wine and beautiful women for his arrival. Now that the women were here, the four unfamiliar faces puzzled him slightly. But he didn’t dwell on it too much, assuming they were General Hawan’s friends.
If Zhang Lu, Yang Shu, and Shen Tingting were the beauties prepared by General Hawan, then what about Ye Fan?
Therefore, Black Shark, unable to figure out this question, still had some doubts.
"No need for introductions; you’ll find out later, no rush." General Hawan smiled.
"General Hawan likes to keep things mysterious, haha, truly amusing." Black Shark pondered and filled in a possible scenario with his imagination, then said with a smile, "Surely this brother is also a friend of General Hawan. Since he’s a friend of General Hawan, he’s also my friend. I wonder how you should be addressed?"
He looked at Ye Fan, with a friendly demeanor, wanting to engage Ye Fan in conversation.
Ye Fan ignored him directly, which suddenly hurt Black Shark’s ego.
"General Hawan, your friend is hard to deal with." Black Shark exclaimed, though dissatisfied with Ye Fan’s attitude, he didn’t show it, as he was merely a guest of General Hawan, not in a position to scold Hawan’s people.
Until understanding the relationship between Ye Fan and General Hawan, Black Shark could only act cautiously.
At times, being the Deputy Leader of the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps didn’t intimidate everyone, lest Ye Fan was someone he couldn’t afford to provoke, passively signaling submission without the slightest disrespect.
General Hawan, seeing Ye Fan didn’t rush to handle Black Shark, could only be anxious, offering Black Shark a bitter smile.
Upon seeing this, Black Shark was further convinced of Ye Fan’s complexity. Anyone General Hawan dared not underestimate was certainly extraordinary; Ye Fan ignoring him didn’t anger Black Shark, instead, he considered Ye Fan a remarkable figure.
"It’s fate to meet; this brother isn’t comfortable revealing his origins, I understand that. I’m the Deputy Leader of the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps, with the nickname Black Shark. It’s no wonder if this brother hasn’t heard of my minor name; I’m just a small character." Black Shark introduced himself to Ye Fan, then focused his sharp gaze on Zhang Lu and the other two women, "These three women, each is a top-notch beauty, the best of the best. Assuming these three were prepared by General Hawan, how about we each take one? How does that sound?"
As he spoke, he looked towards Ye Fan and General Hawan, saying, "Should you pick first? They’re all top-notch; I won’t suffer a loss. To be honest, I’ve been chased continuously, accumulating pent-up rage that I’d love to vent."
"Hehe, idiot," Ye Fan chuckled to himself quietly. The voice was so low Black Shark interpreted it as a mockery and didn’t think much of it.
General Hawan finally couldn’t continue playing along, showing a look akin to seeing an imbecile.
"General Hawan, what’s with that expression?" Black Shark asked, utterly bewildered, "Just tell me if there’s something to say."
"It’s nothing," General Hawan chuckled, pretending as if nothing was wrong. Since Ye Fan and the others intended to enjoy the show then handle Black Shark, he couldn’t point out the key facts.
Inwardly, he mocked, "Captain Black Shark, you fool, you’re walking towards your doom without realizing it, and still dare to flirt with them? These few are the Peng Bird group that beat you black and blue. Let’s see how you’ll handle this later."
Zhang Lu, Yang Shu, and Shen Tingting, the three women, showed mocking smiles, though Black Shark’s focus was on Ye Fan and General Hawan, oblivious to this.
"We’re all men here; let’s not be shy. Since you won’t choose, I’ll go first." Black Shark smiled heartily and said cheerfully, "I like the principle of proximity, it’ll be you."
Speaking of which, Black Shark moved to sit next to Zhang Lu, who was closest to him.
Just before sitting down solidly, before his hand touched Zhang Lu’s shoulder.
A fist rapidly expanded in his view, soon enveloping Black Shark’s sight.
Before he could realize what happened, Black Shark let out a miserable cry and was already sent flying.
Zhang Lu’s punch was forceful.
Black Shark was caught off guard and suffered instantly.
To alleviate the pain, he could only retreat, a circumstance that led him to stumble backward, falling flat on the floor.
"Ouch!" Black Shark cried out in pain, with rage instantly flooding in.
Zhang Lu’s punch landed squarely on Black Shark’s nose.
Blood flowed from Black Shark’s nose and mouth, staining the floor as well, the sight markedly tragic.
"What does this mean? What’s the deal here?" Black Shark jumped up, seething with anger, "General Hawan, you owe me an explanation, or I won’t let this pass."
"Fool, utterly stupid," Zhang Lu taunted.
"Dumb bitch. You dare hit me, no matter who you are or what your status is, you’re dead for daring to hit me." Black Shark roared filled with murderous intent.
