"Hey hey... Ah, Boss, I've received the stuff," Hu Biao said with a slight fear in his voice.
"Don't look at what's inside. Now have someone bring it to Golden Garden," came the cold voice of Zhao Gang over the phone.
"Got it, Boss. Anything else?"
"Make sure the person you send is reliable. Don't lose it by any means and don't peek halfway. If I find out anyone peeked, you know what the consequences will be." Zhao Gang's voice was filled with killing aura.
"Understood, Boss."
Hu Biao hung up the phone and said, "To Golden Garden."
"Do you know the place?" Ling Zhenfei didn't have a clue about it.
"I know," Hu Biao dare not lie; one of his fingers had already been broken. If he told a lie, the next might also break.
"Take me there."
"Okay, as long as you don't hurt me anymore." It seemed Hu Biao was truly frightened.
Suffering from the pain of his broken finger, Hu Biao drove the car, taking Ling Zhenfei away. On the road, Hu Biao explained to Ling Zhenfei that Golden Garden was not actually a residential district but an abandoned construction site that had been deserted for many years.
Soon, the car arrived at Golden Garden, which indeed looked like an abandoned construction site. Seven or eight buildings loomed incomplete, the tallest one reaching only a dozen or so floors. Because it had been abandoned for so long, weeds thrived, and from a distance, it resembled Ghost City.
Ling Zhenfei had Hu Biao stop the car quite far from the place.
"Big Brother, how about I just drop you off here and return to the bar? It's pretty busy there," Hu Biao said to Ling Zhenfei, smiling unconvincingly.
"What's the rush? Why don't you take a nap here?"
Before Hu Biao could understand the meaning of those words, he saw Ling Zhenfei suddenly strike with his palm, hitting him directly on the neck, causing Hu Biao to faint immediately.
Of course, Ling Zhenfei couldn't just let him off so easily. He had become very cautious nowadays with Wei Damin's incident serving as a warning.
Ling Zhenfei took out Silver Needles from his Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow and pricked several points on Hu Biao's head. These pricks were part of the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles technique, which caused Hu Biao to forget everything that had happened in the last hour or two. When he woke up, he would feel as if he had merely had a dream.
Ling Zhenfei pulled Hu Biao out of the car and laid him in the bushes. Then he drove the car into Golden Garden. Ling Zhenfei had already interrogated Hu Biao on the way there and drove directly toward the tallest unfinished building, where, according to Hu Biao, Zhao Gang and his people were definitely inside.
As Ling Zhenfei was driving there, he hadn't reached the building when he heard someone shouting from inside, "Stop the car, what are you doing here?"
Ling Zhenfei quickly stopped the car, only to see a man walking out from the right side of the vehicle. The man was not tall but looked vigorous, with bulging temples; he was clearly an internal cultivation expert.
"Li Hao, I'm here to deliver something arranged by Boss Hu. The delivery is for a boss named Zhao Gang," Ling Zhenfei said as he stepped out of the car and approached the man.
"Just give it to me," the man's voice was cold as he reached out his hand to Ling Zhenfei.
"Sorry, Boss Hu said he wants to personally give it to Boss Zhao Gang, may I ask, are you Zhao Gang?"
"Are you brain-dead, if I tell you to give it to me, you give it to me," the man said somewhat angrily.
"That won't do, I must hand it over to Boss Zhao Gang, that's my brother's order," Ling Zhenfei said with a foolish look.
"Who are you, one of Hu Biao's men? How come I've never seen you?" Suddenly, a person came out from inside the building, and the moment he appeared, Ling Zhenfei felt it was Zhao Gang due to the different aura.
Although that thin man was an internal cultivation expert, his presence was not as imposing as Zhao Gang's, perhaps due to the fact that he was accustomed to being a boss.
"Hello Boss, I'm new here. Boss Hu sent me to deliver something, it's an honor to meet all the bosses here," he said.
Zhao Gang, somewhat angry after listening, said, "What the fuck are you blabbing about, where's the stuff?" He extended his hand toward Ling Zhenfei as he spoke.
Ling Zhenfei looked at Zhao Gang, who was also a cultivator, but not very strong, merely at the Mingmu Initial Stage of cultivation.
Subduing him would be as easy as turning his hand over. Seizing the opportunity, Ling Zhenfei suddenly moved, grabbing Zhao Gang's wrist at the Life Gate Acupoint.
"Don't move, anyone dares to make a move and you're dead!"
Ling Zhenfei's voice stunned everyone, their faces in shock as they looked at him. Ling Zhenfei's move was incredibly fast, and although they were all cultivators and considered superior to most, they were now astounded; their speed was nothing compared to Ling Zhenfei's.
"What do you want to do?" Zhao Gang had not expected Ling Zhenfei to attack him suddenly and looked at him angrily. His Life Gate was captured by Ling Zhenfei, but not knowing what the acupoint did, he wasn't frightened and punched directly at Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei applied a little pressure, and since the Life Gate connects to the heart, Zhao Gang immediately felt excruciating pain, with the strength he had been gathering instantly dissipating and sweat pouring down from the pain.
"I already told you, if you moved, I would kill you."
"Don't attack, I realize my mistake, it's killing me," Zhao Gang screamed, begging for mercy.
The thin man watched the entire scene; he had realized how formidable Ling Zhenfei was from the moment he made his move.
Perhaps alerted by the noise outside, suddenly, five people rushed out from the unfinished building. After they came out, they quickly understood the situation and immediately surrounded Ling Zhenfei.
"Nobody move, or else you'll be collecting his corpse," Ling Zhenfei thought to himself, alarmed by the people who had come out. He hadn't expected all of them to be cultivation experts, and moreover, their strength was all at the Mingmu Realm. Seeing so many cultivation experts at once shocked Ling Zhenfei; luckily, he had Zhao Gang as a bargaining chip.
"Everyone, hold off on attacking, what he said is true, if you do anything, my life is over," Zhao Gang, though also a cultivator, greatly valued his life. At this moment, he desperately shouted to the people around him, fearful that someone would act impulsively and provoke Ling Zhenfei into a killing rage.
"My friend, who are you, regardless of your purpose, let's release him first, we can talk," said an old man with a small goatee walking to the front; among these people, he seemed to be the eldest and looked to be in charge.
"Yes, friend, let's talk. If there's an issue, let's discuss it," Zhao Gang added from the side.
Ling Zhenfei's mind was racing. He hadn't expected this broken place to hide so many powerful figures. Now, there were seven people surrounding him, all cultivation experts. He wasn't sure how many more were in the unfinished building; if seven or eight more emerged, his life would undeniably be surrendered here today.
