Chapter 188: Chapter 188 I Let You Be The Boss of the South City_1

“Alright, since you’re familiar with this place, don’t leave. Later, take me to the antiques market here. I want to buy some things,” Xu Fan said to Zhao Dong.

“No problem!” Zhao Dong patted his chest, readily agreeing.

Xu Fan’s strength was something he had witnessed with his own eyes. The Hu Family’s seven strong men were sent flying by Xu Fan in less than two seconds. Zhao Dong’s admiration for Xu Fan was like a surging river.

Moreover, Xu Fan’s fierce subordinate had left an indelible impression on Zhao Dong.

Mo Luo Dan did have a rather simple and honest appearance, but what was more ferocious was that he alone dared to raid the lair of the Hu Family, the southern city’s overlord. Many people despised the Hu Family to the point of itching teeth, yet it was all in vain. Xu Fan actually sent just one person to capture the big brother Hu Hai of the Hu Family.

Zhao Dong believed that Xu Fan was definitely not just putting on an act. Since he had sent that fierce subordinate over, he must have a way to capture the big brother Hu Hai of the Hu Family and bring him here.

“Big brother, are you still short of followers? Only today, after seeing your heroic bearing, did I truly understand what a real powerhouse is. I, Zhao Dong, have aspired to be a great hero who punishes evil and promotes good like you since I was a child,” Zhao Dong said to Xu Fan, his eyes shining.

“Oh?” Xu Fan looked at Zhao Dong with interest for a few moments. This man, though just a petty hooligan, had a basic sense of justice and persistence, not a bad person through and through.

And Xu Fan did really need people in Yulou Ancient Town to help him find more ancient jade suitable for crafting magical treasures.

Xu Fan could eliminate the Hu Family of the southern city with just a flick of his finger, but afterward, similar underworld forces would sprout up like mushrooms after rain. The only way to keep control was to have this force in his own hands.

Xu Fan released his Divine Sense and scanned Zhao Dong. Although Zhao Dong was well past the golden age of fifteen for Cultivation, his comprehension and bone structure were not bad. Even if he might not go far in the path of Cultivation, from the perspective of a Martial Artist, he already had the talent to become a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Of course, this was possible only with the support of Xu Fan’s powerful Elixirs and the countless secret techniques he had scavenged from the Cultivation World. Zhao Dong’s natural talents were still far behind those young prodigies listed on the roster of heroes.

“You may follow me, but there is a test you must first pass, and you cannot stay by my side,” Xu Fan said indifferently to Zhao Dong.

“Then where will I be?” Zhao Dong asked with some confusion.

“Right here, in Yulou Ancient Town, doing some tasks for me. Moreover, the Hu Family is about to fall, and there will be a change in power in the southern city. After you pass my test, I will teach you a set of techniques. Then you’ll be able to take down seven or eight thugs like these with ease,” Xu Fan said, pointing to the underlings of Stone Brother who were working on the side.

These hoodlums felt very dissatisfied when Xu Fan called them thugs, but their dissatisfaction was kept in their hearts. In front of Xu Fan, they really were just street brawlers; just a moment ago, Xu Fan had laid all seven of them flat on the street in an instant, sprawling for a long time. If they weren’t street brawlers, then what were they?

“Boss! My name is Zhao Dong, please accept my bow,” Zhao Dong immediately walked up to Xu Fan with great respect, ready to bow down to him.

Xu Fan stretched out his hand and instantly blocked Zhao Dong’s bowing gesture.

“You have not yet passed my test and do not have the right to call me boss,” Xu Fan said calmly.

“What exactly is the test?” Zhao Dong asked, a bit bewildered.

“After the change of power in the southern part of the city, I want you to take over the Hu Family’s position and become the new ruler of the south. Only if you become the top dog can you qualify to be my subordinate,” Xu Fan said calmly.

“The top dog of the south?” Zhao Dong was so startled he almost bit his tongue.

Xu Fan’s requirement seemed a bit too high, didn’t it? Right now, he only had five underlings; he wasn’t even sure he could take care of Yulou Ancient Town, let alone become the top dog of the south. It was utterly absurd.

“What, are you scared?” Xu Fan glanced at Zhao Dong, his eyes tinged with a hint of disappointment.

“Scared of what? I, Zhao Dong, have a head on my two shoulders. If the Hu Family can be the boss, why can’t I? I’m in!” Zhao Dong nodded vigorously, telling Xu Fan.

“Good! Once I’m done with my business, I’ll give you some rewards. They will rapidly increase your fighting power. If you come across issues you can’t resolve, I’ll send my underling, Xu Dan, to help you out. However, you’d best rely on your own abilities. If I have to send my underling to intervene, my opinion of you will diminish,” Xu Fan said unhurriedly.

“Understood, I will plan carefully!” Zhao Dong resolutely responded.

“I’ll give you two months. At most, my underling will assist you twice. Within these two months, the moment you become the top dog of the south, that’s when you’ll officially be my subordinate,” Xu Fan said earnestly.

“Alright, I, Zhao Dong, will certainly not let the boss down,” Zhao Dong clenched his fist, his fighting spirit surging like an injection of adrenaline.

At this time, several underlings had almost cleaned up the chaotic apparel store. The undamaged clothes racks had been moved back into place, and the broken ones had been taken outside, waiting for the arrival of new racks to refurbish Xin Le Apparel. The shattered glass on the floor had also been swept clean.

“These seven people can serve as your startup funds,” Xu Fan said, waving his hand and pointing at the underlings he had just disciplined.

“Big Brother, we belong to the Hu Family. Our family has its rules—we cannot defect. Otherwise, we would suffer the punishment of three cuts and six holes.”

“Big Brother, I know we offended you just now. I’m willing to slap myself a hundred times as a plea for your forgiveness. If we leave the Hu Family, they will surely not let us go.”

“Big Brother, I have elders to care for and youngsters to feed. We really can’t afford to provoke the Hu Family.”

…

Upon hearing Xu Fan’s words, the underlings all pleaded with grim faces as if the Hu Family was a ferocious demon in their hearts, and none dared to defect from the Hu Family on their own.

“Ha, the Hu Family? After today, the Hu Family will cease to exist. I give you two options: either follow Zhao Dong now and become his underlings, or die here and now as martyrs for the Hu Family. I’ll count to three, and you choose,” Xu Fan said coldly, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

The underlings didn’t believe Xu Fan could truly uproot the Hu Family from the south of the city, so they hesitated at first, but seeing Xu Fan’s anger, they knew they would be made an example of if they didn’t agree. Without any hesitation, they all nodded at Xu Fan: “Big Brother, we’re willing to listen to you and follow Zhao Dong.”
