Little did they know that Hongfa Foreign Firm was a trap. After the Liao family members went inside, they were suddenly attacked and caught off guard.
Even Liao Liechen, who had already reached the Dark Force stage, was shot twice, but fortunately, he was highly skilled in martial arts and managed to break free in time.
Of the dozen or so people he took with him, only half returned; the rest were all shot dead.
"This is too much, they actually used guns."
"Yes, before, everyone judged heroes by their swords and knives. Who uses guns like this now?"
"So what should we do now?"
Liao Liewen said, "We started negotiations last night and agreed to settle things with a martial arts contest this afternoon."
He Yuzhu was new and didn't really understand the rules here. Everyone else nodded when they heard this.
Huo Yingdong whispered a few words of explanation to He Yuzhu, and then made sure He Yuzhu understood.
If two companies or two forces clash here, they will usually negotiate, and then the two sides will fight each other.
Whoever has the bigger fist wins, and the loser must abide by the previously agreed-upon conditions.
The Liao family also chose this method to resolve their feud with the other party.
After all, both sides have businesses. If they continue to fight like this, even if one side wins in the end, their own businesses will be ruined.
After suffering two major losses in a row, Liao Liewen realized that he could not wait any longer.
Then they contacted Twen Bennett, the owner of Hongfa Trading Company, and arranged to settle their differences through martial arts that afternoon.
According to the rules, if one party proposes a time, the other party proposes a location.
Hung Fat Trading Company chose a location on Lamma Island.
The reason I invited a few people over today is simply to give you an update on the situation and ask if you'd like to come and support them.
Huo Yingdong readily agreed, while some people didn't have time and chose not to go, but they all sent their blessings.
After the ventilation meeting, He Yuzhu did not leave immediately, but was kept behind by Liao Liewen.
When they arrived at the office, there were only the two of them and Liao Lieying in the room.
Liao Liewen then asked, "What level is Mr. Du, the martial artist?"
"He's at the Transformation Realm, so what?"
"He's definitely a master. I wonder if he'd be available to come and lend a hand today?"
"To lend a hand?" He Yuzhu asked in surprise.
"Yes, you know that Liao Liechen is one of our family's trained people, but he has already been injured."
He Yuzhu had already learned that the Liao family had trained some of their members to learn martial arts.
Liao Liechen is one of the best among them, and has already entered the realm of internal strength.
He was injured yesterday, so he can't participate in the afternoon's fight.
He Yuzhu asked, "Don't you have another master of the Transformation Realm?"
"Oh, don't even mention it. The person we invited is called Zhang Zhentian, who is Liao Liechen's master. He went last night and exchanged a couple of blows with Xu Qianshan. After he came back, he said that the other party's martial arts skills were superb, and he had already decided to back down."
"What? How could this happen?"
He Yuzhu was very surprised that Zhang Zhentian was no match for Xu Qianshan, but why was the match scheduled for this afternoon?
When he asked this question, Liao Liewen felt bitter.
“Yesterday, after the time was set, when I was discussing it with Master Zhang, he said that the other party’s martial arts skills were very high and that I might not be a match for him.”
Previously, the Liao family was full of confidence, believing that by bringing Zhang Zhentian out, they could easily suppress the other side.
To everyone's surprise, in the end, Zhang Zhentian felt inferior to his opponent, which made Liao Liewen panic.
I wasn't idle in the morning either; I asked other families if they could help out temporarily.
They need to have their family's martial arts masters (who have mastered the Hua Jin skill) help them fight; only then can they be confident of winning.
Unfortunately, despite asking many people, no one could be found.
It's not that they're unwilling to help, it's just that they don't have any capable people on hand.
For example, Li Jiacheng, relying only on his internal strength, was of no use going up against him.
Many martial artists are not subordinates of a family, but rather have an equal cooperative relationship.
They are only invited to come out of retirement when there is a family emergency, and each time they must be given a large sum of money.
Of course, there were also gifts given on a regular basis, which was more like paying protection money.
After contacting several experts, all of them declined, either because they didn't have time or because they didn't want to make a move.
Since it wasn't something that happened to the company I was protecting, I couldn't force them to take action.
Liao Lieying asked, "Does Mr. Du have time?"
He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "What bad luck! Old Du took a shipment to Southeast Asia and it's still at sea."
Du Guanghe had never been in business before, but now he's experiencing the sweetness of doing business.
After obtaining He Yuzhu's consent, they bought a 3000-ton cargo ship, then imported goods from Hong Kong and transported them back to Indonesia to sell.
Then bring back the local specialties from there; the profit from each round trip is quite high.
The sea is not peaceful now, and there are pirates harassing the area. Du Guanghe personally escorts the cargo every time.
Anyway, He Yuzhu is highly skilled in martial arts and doesn't need his protection.
Furthermore, there are Du Weixiang and her younger sister, Du Weifang. Both of them are at the Transformation Realm and can handle daily life.
Upon hearing that Du Guanghe was not in Hong Kong, the siblings Liao Liewen and Liao Lieying immediately turned pale.
They had already asked all the other families, but none of them could lend anyone in a short time. He Yuzhu's family was the last one to ask.
Who knew the other party wasn't in Hong Kong either? The match was in the afternoon, and there simply wasn't enough time.
"Since he's not here, we'll have to let Zhang Zhentian compete alone."
Is his martial arts skill really that bad?
"His martial arts skills are very high, but he just wanted to have an extra layer of insurance just in case."
Last night, Zhang Zhentian just casually mentioned that he might not be a match for Xu Qianshan.
To be on the safe side, Liao Liewen wanted to find another person to help him out.
However, since they couldn't find anyone to help them at the last minute, they could only hope that Zhang Zhentian could defeat his opponent.
Liao Liewen comforted He Yuzhu with a few words, telling him not to mind, and then left.
Liao Lieying looked worried, but He Yuzhu comforted her, saying:
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this!"
Liao Lieying retorted, "Isn't Mr. Du not here? Are you going to go up by yourself?"
He Yuzhu said with utmost seriousness, "I am also a martial arts master."
Liao Lieying was amused by He Yuzhu's appearance.
"Okay, I admit your cooking is really delicious, but looking at your delicate skin and tender flesh, you don't look like someone who has practiced martial arts at all."
He Yuzhu was very strong before, with every muscle hard and rigid, looking like a master.
However, after he entered the Dantian stage, his muscles became softer.
He no longer looked as robust as before, and was no different from an ordinary person.
As a result, Liao Lieying simply did not believe that he was also a skilled fighter.
I thought he was just an ordinary enthusiast, all show and no substance.
He Yuzhu smiled but didn't say anything more.
Things haven't gotten to the worst point yet; we'll still be going to the island to watch the game this afternoon anyway.
Time quickly passed and it was afternoon. He Yuzhu boarded the Liao family's yacht and then went to Lamma Island, which is not far from Hong Kong Island.
There are several villages here, all dilapidated, where people make a living by fishing.
After arriving, we went straight into a dilapidated school, where the competition would take place.
Along the way, He Yuzhu chatted with Lao Huo about business, and heard that he planned to buy a boat and also get into the sand and gravel business. Then he observed Zhang Zhentian.
In his early forties, he was in his prime, with broad shoulders and a strong waist, powerful hands, and a vigorous gait that made him quite remarkable.
Judging by his appearance alone, he is indeed a martial arts master.
After discussing the purchase of sand barges, Old Huo quietly recounted Zhang Zhentian's exploits.
Zhang Zhentian learned martial arts from a young age and was very talented. He made a name for himself at a young age and later reached the pinnacle of martial arts, becoming an even more skilled fighter.
He had previously saved Mr. Yao Baoshan's life, and the two had cooperated for many years; otherwise, Liao Liechen would not have been defeated by him.
"So this Mr. Zhang is very famous?"
"That's true, people outside this circle just don't know."
Li Jiacheng chimed in, "Mr. Zhang is indeed quite famous. I've met him a few times before and personally witnessed him kill a bear with his bare hands, killing a huge black bear with a single punch."
