Chapter 672: Threatening Yun Conglong
Chapter 672: Threatening Yun Conglong
Yun Cong Long paced back and forth in his room, torn between frustration and regret.
Jin Banhua and Hua Zhenzhen exchanged glances outside the door.
"You should have known this would happen when you agreed to it back then," Jin Banhua said with a smile.
Yun Cong Long growled, "You promised that once I left the Bat Island, we would be even, and no one on the island would know my identity, and no one in the world would know my secret. You were the ones who broke the rules first!"
Jin Banhua thought back to the sales tactics on Bat Island and carefully replied, "We never revealed what you bought on the island. What you did with that secret is outside our agreement."
"You!" Yun Cong Long clenched his fists, but then his anger dissipated.
"Handing over half of the Divine Dragon Gang's profits and poisoning the Taihu Righteous Manor and the Jinling Wang Family—aren't you trying to kill me?" Yun Cong Long gritted his teeth.
Jin Banhua looked at Hua Zhenzhen.
Hua Zhenzhen thought for a moment, then leaned close to Jin Banhua's ear and whispered, "The Taihu Righteous Manor and the Jinling Wang Family are major forces in Jiangnan, deeply entangled with the Divine Dragon Gang."
Jin Banhua understood.
The lower reaches of the Yangtze River span a vast area, involving immense interests.
In the world of "The Peerless Twins," the martial arts of the Yangtze River Hero Shi Yangtian are already second only to Yan Nan Tian and Yao Yue. The Yangtze Alliance dominates the middle and upper reaches of the river but still lacks the power to control the lower reaches.
Characters and forces in different worlds vary, but the principles remain the same. Yun Cong Long's Divine Dragon Gang unified the lower Yangtze not through force but through relationships.
In the original story, Yun Cong Long's defining trait is his smoothness and diplomacy, not his martial prowess—Gu Long's (zuo) Zhe) indeed has a meticulous mind, commendable indeed!
The Divine Dragon Gang is more like a joint company with shares held by various major forces in Jiangnan, a platform for mutual exchange and negotiation, not a one-man show.
However, Yuan Suiyun somehow discovered one of Yun Cong Long's secret desires and offered something that could fulfill it on Bat Island, luring him to the island.
Yun Cong Long couldn't resist the temptation, went shopping, and realized his wish, thinking it was all under the radar. ButBut he It was still a60 Bat Island's him to Bat Island Bat Island used this secret to blackmail him, demanding half of the Divine Dragon Gang's profits and targeting the gang's behind-the-scenes shareholders. How could Yun Cong Long not be shocked, angry, and regretful?
In the original story, Yun Cong Long had principles and ultimately refused to bend to Bat Island's demands, leaving a clue for Chu Liuxiang before choosing death over compliance.
But this Yun Cong Long is too timid. After witnessing Bat Island's might, he was terrified and dared not speak a word in front of Ding Feng, even hesitating to pass the clue to Chu Liuxiang.
Jin Banhua asked, "You don't want to die, do you?"
Yun Cong Long's eyes flickered, "Are you willing to let me go?"
"Depends on your choice," Jin Banhua smiled.
Yun Cong Long looked disappointed, "You're still going to force me?"
"No," Jin Banhua pushed open Yun Cong Long's door. "It depends on how detailed you can be about the person forcing you."
The door opened, and Yun Cong Long saw a tall, refined young master and a slender, beautiful girl in a green dress.
At first glance, they seemed like a smug young noble and his servant, posing no threat. But Yun Cong Long didn't dare underestimate them.
No matter who it was, appearing silently at his doorstep in the middle of the night would not be taken lightly by anyone.
However, after hearing Jin Banhua’s words, Yun Conglong couldn’t help but turn pale. "What are you talking about? Who are you really?"
"You should know what we’re talking about better than we do," Hua Zhenzhen said coldly. "Tell us what you know, and we’ll spare your life."
Yun Conglong glared at them. "You’re not from Bat Island!"
Hua Zhenzhen and Jin Banhua exchanged a smile, her gaze filled with admiration.
If she had come alone, she never would have thought of Jin Banhua’s clever ruse. If Yun Conglong had refused to speak, she would have had no way to force him to reveal the truth.
But with just a few words from Jin Banhua, Yun Conglong had already revealed the name of the secret hideout on the sea.
Bat Island?
It sounded so mysterious and sinister!
"We are here to destroy Bat Island," Jin Banhua said with a smile. "We’re on the same side. If we destroy Bat Island, your secrets will be safe, and you won’t have to betray Taihu Renyi Manor or the Jinling Wang family."
Yun Conglong’s pupils constricted, and his heart skipped a beat.
But in the next moment, he recoiled. The darkness, mystery, and terror of Bat Island had long been ingrained in his mind. He didn’t believe these people had the power to destroy it.
If they failed, and Bat Island found out he had betrayed them...
Yun Conglong shook his head. "I don’t know you, and I don’t know what Bat Island you’re talking about. Go back where you came from. I won’t hold you accountable for trespassing into the Divine Dragon Gang."
Hua Zhenzhen’s eyes flashed with anger. "Bat Island has already bullied you to the brink, and you still refuse to tell the truth?"
"Because he’s terrified of Bat Island," Jin Banhua said with a laugh. "Fear of the wicked always outweighs respect for the good, especially when they have leverage over him."
Jin Banhua’s eyes gleamed as she continued, "How about we spread the word that Yun Conglong has agreed to serve as a dog for Bat Island, making the Divine Dragon Gang a subordinate, and is planning a major attack on Taihu Renyi Manor and the Jinling Wang family?"
Yun Conglong’s heart raced in fear, and he instinctively reached for Jin Banhua.
But before his hand could reach her, Jin Banhua had already pinned his pressure points.
Jin Banhua shook her head. "No wonder you’re afraid to resist Bat Island. Your martial arts are so weak."
Yun Conglong’s eyes blazed with fury.
The Divine Dragon Gang had built its current power through dealing with various factions, but his martial arts were a crucial guarantee of that power!
Otherwise, why would the Divine Dragon Gang have risen above all the other gangs along the Yangtze River?
Otherwise, why would Wu Weiyang of the Phoenix Tail Gang, who once dominated the Huai and Yangtze regions, have retreated to the Huai River and stayed out of the Yangtze?
But now, Yun Conglong realized he might have never truly faced a real master.
He had seen the martial prowess of the Bat Lord on Bat Island and knew he was no match. Now, he had been subdued by a young, wealthy gentleman with just one move.
When had the martial world become so unrecognizable to him?
Jin Banhua leaned in close to Yun Conglong, her voice low and chilling. "I always speak the truth. So now, you can only bet that we can destroy Bat Island. Otherwise, you’ll face disgrace and ruin tomorrow."
"You’ll be branded as a disgrace to the Jiangnan martial world," Jin Banhua said coolly.
