Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Leaving in Humiliation and Fury
A cold, disdainful sneer appeared on Jiang Mingfeng’s face.
"Long Wu, you’re just a local kingpin from Ming City, and you dare to challenge me? I’d like to see just how many men you can rustle up."
Jiang Mingfeng plopped down nonchalantly on the sofa, crossing his legs with an air of utter indifference.
The experts by his side all took off their jackets, revealing their incredibly bulging muscles. Stern-faced, they were ready to strike at a moment’s notice.
Soon, van after van began to arrive, followed by the deafening sound of marching feet!
The sound was uniform and immense, making the very ground seem to tremble faintly.
Meanwhile, Long Wu wore a confident smile, as if he had everything under control.
He was absolutely certain that the men he had summoned would give Jiang Mingfeng the shock of his life.
Qin Tuo wasn’t the least bit worried, either. He knew exactly how powerful Long Wu’s forces had become after absorbing the Cyan Fire Gang.
Gradually, the smug smile on Jiang Mingfeng’s face began to fade.
He had been wondering, ’Just how many men can Long Wu really call?’
’If it was only three or five hundred men, it would hardly be a warm-up for him!’
Never mind that each of his top experts could take on a hundred men; he, Jiang Mingfeng, could handle a large crowd all by himself.
But hearing the sheer scale of the commotion outside, Jiang Mingfeng’s expression started to grow grim.
’What? More people are still coming?’
Jiang Mingfeng’s face was now grim, and he felt an unexpected pang of anxiety.
More than ten minutes had passed, and unbelievably, the sound of footsteps outside still hadn’t stopped.
In fact, they seemed to be gathering at an even faster rate!
Meanwhile, the sneer on Long Wu’s face deepened, and a hint of cruelty flickered in his eyes.
He was now stronger than he’d ever been, even in his prime. With just one word from Qin Tuo, Long Wu would dare to kill even Jiang Mingfeng.
Finally, the sound of footsteps began to slow.
But by now, a dense sea of people had surrounded the glass doors of the Lige Hotel. A quick glance revealed at least a thousand men!
Seeing this, Long Wu smiled confidently and asked:
"Mr. Jiang, are you still so confident you can put a local like me in his place?"
These words instantly made Jiang Mingfeng’s face turn livid.
The Inner Strength bodyguards beside him grew extremely tense, their eyes narrowing.
No matter how skilled they were, they had no confidence they could fight off so many people.
Moreover, a closer look revealed that many among the thousand-strong crowd had sharp, alert eyes and robust physiques. They were clearly not your average hired muscle.
Beyond his surprise, Jiang Mingfeng felt a sense of bewilderment.
He couldn’t help but think about the intelligence his subordinates had provided...
’Didn’t they say Huaiyi Hall was on the decline?’
’How can they still summon so many men?’
Jiang Mingfeng was vexed. He had no idea that the Cyan Fire Gang had been completely absorbed by Long Wu.
He slowly rose and walked to the doorway, his eyes sweeping over the crowd.
He saw over a thousand men packed tightly outside, their eyes brimming with killing intent, waiting for a single command from Long Wu to rush in.
Feeling this terrifying presence, Jiang Mingfeng’s heart sank.
If each of these thousand men so much as spat on him, they could drown him alive.
No matter how skilled his six experts were, they couldn’t possibly defeat such overwhelming numbers!
Seeing Jiang Mingfeng’s reaction, Qin Tuo’s eyes filled with amusement.
He could tell at a glance, ’So, the old dog is finally scared!’
Long Wu chuckled and added:
"Mr. Jiang, why the silence? Are you scared?"
Jiang Mingfeng snorted coldly but didn’t say a word.
But it was clear his imposing aura had completely crumbled.
The Jiang Mingfeng of this moment was a far cry from the incredibly arrogant Jiang Family Patriarch of a few minutes ago.
But Long Wu continued to taunt him:
"I don’t know, is this enough of a show for you? If not, I can always round up some more. Don’t worry, it’s no trouble at all—just one phone call!"
As he spoke, he made a show of pulling out his phone, ready to call for more backup.
At this display, Jiang Mingfeng’s face began to turn pale!
He pointed at Long Wu and said, his voice laced with resentment:
"Long Wu, don’t get ahead of yourself! Do you, a mere local thug, really dare to make a move on me?"
At this point, Jiang Mingfeng could only rely on his reputation to intimidate Long Wu and keep him from acting recklessly.
But Long Wu was completely unfazed, saying:
"Jiang Mingfeng, at a time like this, you’re still trying to scare me? You really think I’m the type to be easily intimidated? Believe it or not, I can have them rush in right now and trample you all into paste."
Seeing Long Wu’s ferocious expression, Jiang Mingfeng felt a flicker of fear in his heart.
But after a moment’s thought, he continued to threaten:
"Long Wu, if you dare, believe me when I say I can take you out before your men even get through the door!"
But Long Wu just looked completely unconcerned, grinning as he said:
"Go ahead! But you won’t be walking out of this hotel, either. Trading my life for the life of the Jiang Family Patriarch? I’d say that’s a damn good deal!"
Hearing this, even Qin Tuo couldn’t help but laugh.
Jiang Mingfeng, on the other hand, was so furious he almost spat blood!
"Long Wu, are you dead set on making an enemy of the Jiang Family?"
By now, Jiang Mingfeng had lost all hope.
But he was still seething with resentment!
After all, the man who had harmed his son was right in front of him, yet he could do nothing but watch, completely powerless against Qin Tuo.
Long Wu’s expression hardened, and he said seriously:
"Jiang Mingfeng, by offending Mr. Qin, you’ve become my mortal enemy. I didn’t call all these men here today just to scare you. If you don’t believe me, feel free to put it to the test!"
At that moment, the blood-soaked aura from his old days of fighting and killing returned to Long Wu.
Even Jiang Mingfeng was momentarily stunned by this powerful presence.
"Fine... Fine... Fine..."
Jiang Mingfeng nodded repeatedly, his face completely drained of color.
The experts beside him silently lowered their heads one by one, filled with shame.
Jiang Mingfeng shot a cold glance at Qin Tuo and snorted.
"I’ll give you this one. But remember this: you’ve made an enemy of the Jiang Family, and you will pay a heavy price for it!"
Qin Tuo, however, looked completely unfazed, clearly not taking Jiang Mingfeng’s threat seriously in the slightest.
Jiang Mingfeng forcibly suppressed his rage and waved his hand.
"You just wait, kid! This isn’t over!"
With that, he prepared to leave in disgrace with his bodyguards.
But at that moment, the thousand men outside, their faces expressionless, took several steps forward in unison.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
The ground shook violently, and Jiang Mingfeng’s face instantly twisted in panic.
