Chapter 480 Huo Han, Don’t Go Too Far

"Brother, what's going on? Why are there such unusual movements among the major gangs?" asked the fourth brother, a middle-aged man.

Huo Han frowned and said in a deep voice, "It's obvious that someone wants to stir up trouble in the underworld. They're taking advantage of the feuds between the major gangs to create chaos."

"Is there anyone who wants to take this opportunity to attack us?" A hint of cruelty flashed in the third brother's eyes.

Liu Jing smiled slightly and interjected, "That may not be the case. However, with all the major gangs gathered together, the 310 Office will naturally face a storm. Huo Han, how should you respond now?"

Huo Han glanced at Liu Jing, understood what she meant, and turned to look at everyone, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We need to take action."

"Are you going to send troops?" A hint of excitement flashed in the second brother's eyes.

Huo Han shook his head. "No, what we need is intelligence, not blindly sending troops. We need to find the mastermind behind this."

Lao Wu suddenly spoke up: "Brother, are you saying that this information was leaked intentionally?"

Huo Han nodded and said, "Yes, I suspect there is a powerful force behind this. This is just the beginning of a game."

Liu Jing smiled slightly. "You are very smart, Huo Han. Then, I can continue to provide you with intelligence."

Huo Han looked at her deeply, then nodded, "Okay, I hope you can do it as soon as possible."

"Liu Jing, are you saying that the major gangs have noticed that I drove Lian Haolong away?" Huo Han frowned, he understood how much impact this matter had on him.

Liu Jing leaned elegantly against the window, the night making her figure appear particularly graceful. "Yes, Huo Han. Your decisiveness and strategy are astonishing. Lian Haolong's influence and connections are well known in the martial arts world."

He's been in power for so long that he's accumulated a lot of connections and power. If you easily drive him away, it will naturally arouse the vigilance of other gangs."

The third brother continued, "I've heard that Lian Haolong has had dealings with several other major gangs, and the friendship between them is extraordinary."

Huo Han pondered for a moment, "Are you saying they're worried that Lian Haolong will use those old friends to take revenge on me?"

Liu Jing shook his head. "Not exactly. They're more worried that you possess greater strength and means than Lian Haolong, and could easily drive him away. They're afraid you'll become the new overlord of the martial arts world, controlling the entire territory."

Lao Wu sneered: "So, are they planning to take action against us by holding this meeting?"

Liu Jing looked out the window thoughtfully. "Not necessarily. They're more likely trying to find out Huo Han's true strength and intentions."

If they think Huo Han is a threat, they will certainly unite to deal with you. But if they think you are not a big deal, they will not easily provoke a war. "

Huo Han stared at the carpet and thought for a moment. "In that case, I need to make some gesture to let them know that we are not easily shaken."

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "Huo Han, what are you going to do?"

Huo Han tapped the table lightly, "I plan to send someone to attend their meeting."

Everyone was stunned, and the fourth brother quickly responded, "You mean..."

"That's right." Huo Han interrupted him, "Send the person I trust most to that meeting. This will not only help us understand their plans, but also demonstrate our strength and determination." The third brother slapped the table, "What a great idea! Let them know we are not to be trifled with!"

Huo Han turned to look at Liu Jing, "Liu Jing, I need your help."

Liu Jing nodded slightly, "Just give me your orders."

Huo Han took a deep breath and said, "Things are becoming more and more complicated, but no matter what, we will not be easily defeated."

At this moment, the manor is like a beast about to awaken, ready to spread its wings and fly high, fearless.

Mist enveloped the city streets, painting them a faint white.

At this moment, Huo Han stood in front of an ancient mansion. From the outside, he could see the bright lights inside, as if the people of the martial arts world had already gathered there. Behind him followed several trusted confidants, all of whom were carefully selected masters.

Huo Han smoothed his robe and slowly walked towards the gate of the mansion. He gently knocked on the copper ring on the gate, and soon someone came to open the door.

"Excuse me, where is this..." Before the guard could open his mouth, he was locked in Huo Han's gaze, and the aura he felt frightened.

"I'm Huo Han." Huo Han's tone was calm, but full of authority.

The guard was obviously a little surprised, but still replied respectfully: "It turns out to be Boss Huo, please come in."

Huo Han smiled faintly and walked into the courtyard. There were dozens of tables set up in the courtyard, and representatives from various gangs were talking in low voices.

They were all famous figures in the martial arts world, but at this moment, after Huo Han appeared, they all put down their glasses and turned to look at him.

Huo Han walked straight to the front of the meeting without stopping. After sitting down, he glanced around and said calmly, "I have long heard of you all. It is a great honor to sit at the same table with you today."

Some people were discussing in low voices, some were whispering, but most people were staring at Huo Han in silence, trying to grasp some information from his eyes.

At this moment, a middle-aged man stood up. He was the leader of a very influential gang. He said, "Huo Han, why did you suddenly show up? You were not invited to this meeting."

Huo Han smiled calmly: "I just want to see how the major gangs treat the Lian family."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "Lian family? Are you talking about Lian Haolong, the one you drove away?"

Huo Han did not answer, but just looked at him quietly.

The atmosphere in the venue grew increasingly tense, with many people staring at each other, unsure of what would happen next. Huo Han's arrival had clearly disrupted the balance.

When Huo Han walked into the meeting room, dozens of eyes turned to him. The lights here were not bright, but they were enough to illuminate everyone's face.

Tea sets and snacks were placed on the large mahogany table, but no one touched them. The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was almost enough to light torches.

Sitting next to Huo Han was a member of the Black Tiger Gang. Zhao Hu, the gang's leader, was a burly, middle-aged man with a fierce look in his eyes, holding a folding fan.

He looked at Huo Han with some unconcealable hostility in his eyes, as if telling Huo Han: You are not welcome here.

After Huo Han sat down, he didn't communicate with anyone and said directly: "Since I'm here, let's start the meeting."

Zhao Hu frowned, "Huo Han, who are you? How dare you venture into the world of martial arts?"

Huo Han looked at Zhao Hu quietly and said calmly, "I am Huo Han. As the gang leader, I am naturally qualified to participate in this meeting."

Zhao Hu sneered, "The situation is so chaotic right now, what right do you have to sit here?"

Some people in the meeting place began to whisper, and some looked at Huo Han with curiosity and vigilance in their eyes.

Huo Han did not respond to Zhao Hu's provocation, but turned to the representatives of other gangs and said calmly: "Since everyone is here, then speak out.

Why hold this meeting?"

After a moment's silence, a white-haired old man, the leader of the Jinyi Gang, stood up and said in a trembling voice: "Huo Han, it's not that we want to target you, but what you have done really puts us in a difficult position."

Huo Han's eyes lit up and he asked, "Oh? What's the problem?"

The leader of the Jinyi Gang continued, "You easily drove Lian Haolong away. The Lian family is now in your hands, but the rules of the underworld are not decided by you alone."

Huo Han smiled faintly. "I know there are rules in the martial arts world, but I only know the rule that the strong are respected. If you think I shouldn't be sitting here, then please take action. I, Huo Han, will never back down."

Zhao Hu stood up suddenly and swung his folding fan, revealing the sharp edge of a blade: "Huo Han, you are indeed audacious!"

Huo Han looked at Zhao Hu without a trace of fear in his eyes: "In that case, let's get started."

The atmosphere in the meeting place grew tense, with the confrontation between Huo Han and Zhao Hu becoming the focal point. Members of other factions were also gearing up for a fight, seemingly poised for a potential explosion.

The atmosphere grew even more tense. The minor friction between Zhao Hu and Huo Han was like a brief storm, plunging the already oppressive meeting room into silence.

Huo Han leisurely unfolded the scroll in his hand, densely written with records of the various gangs' activities. He glanced at it briefly and said meaningfully, "Everyone, it seems everyone is very busy."

Zhao Hu asked sharply, "What are those?"

Huo Han smiled and said, "These are your recent developments. Are you trying to accuse me of fabricating things?"

Representatives from other gangs looked at each other, some with a hint of panic in their eyes, while others did not dare to look Huo Han in the eye.

Huo Han continued, “The Black Tiger Gang has been interacting frequently with the King Kong Gang in East City recently, and it seems they’re planning to do a big business.

The Baiyun Gang in South City is secretly preparing for a large-scale martial arts conference, aiming to consolidate the forces in South City. Meanwhile, the Cuihua Gang in West City seems to have recently received a mysterious shipment of weapons. It's unclear what they're planning to do.

Every time the name of a gang was mentioned, someone's face changed drastically, as if they were in Huo Han's control.

Zhao Hu glared at Huo Han: "Why are you trying to find out about us?"

Huo Han said calmly, "There are no secrets in the martial arts world. I just want to know what you all want to do by getting together."

Zhao Hu widened his eyes and gritted his teeth: "Huo Han, don't go too far!"

Huo Han looked at him calmly. "Excessive? I just did what you wanted to do but couldn't. If you have anything to say to me, just say it. Otherwise, today's meeting is meaningless."

Zhao Hu was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He stood up suddenly and pointed at Huo Han: "You!"

Huo Han had no extra expression, just looked at him calmly, waiting for him to continue.

In the conference room, everyone was staring at the two of them. There seemed to be an element of instability in the air. If one of them made a slight move, I'm afraid...

A melee will ensue.

Zhao Hu seemed to realize that his emotions were out of control. He took a deep breath and slowly sat down. His face was still full of anger, but at least he hadn't acted impulsively.

Huo Han put down the scroll in his hand and looked at everyone present: "In that case, our topic for today should be very clear."

His words were clear and firm, as if everything had been settled.
