“Take over? Can you handle it?”
“Do you have any idea what the name Brother Dragon means in Luo City?”
“Tell Li Yunbao to stop at once. We’ll go apologize to the Sea Dragon Gang together.”
Lin Ziqing, Wu Qianru, and Yang Yuxian, along with Tang Zhanhao and Wang Zhenglan, who had already retreated far to the side, all came over to Xiao Nan.
They kept urging him to make Li Yunbao and his men stop.
They also kept emphasizing just how terrifying Zhou Hailong and his Sea Dragon Gang were in Luo City.
Xiao Nan could hardly bear the incessant buzzing of these flies any longer.
Seeing that the group of trash had been beaten nearly senseless by Li Yunbao’s men, he slowly raised one hand and gestured to Li Yunbao.
“Stop.”
Upon receiving Xiao Nan’s order, Li Yunbao immediately commanded his brothers to stand down.
In an instant, everyone from Black Panther Hall stopped.
Watching this unfold, the corner of Tang Zhanhao’s mouth twitched several times.
Just who was Lin Ziqing’s country-bumpkin fiancé?
Li Yunbao was a formidable figure in Luo City. How could he be so obedient to Xiao Nan?
“Li, you bastard. Just you wait.”
Luo Hu, his head covered in lumps and blood staining nearly every part of his body, glared viciously at Li Yunbao.
Then he turned his gaze toward Xiao Nan and Lin Ziqing. “The Lin family, is it? Very well. I’ll soon make you understand what happens when you offend the Sea Dragon Gang.”
After throwing down his threats at Xiao Nan and the others, Luo Hu turned to one of his underlings and roared, “What are you standing around for? Get me to the hospital!”
“You—you—you…”
Luo Hu left with the rest of the Sea Dragon Gang.
Yet no one at the scene showed the slightest sign of relief.
Lin Ziqing stared at Xiao Nan, repeating the word “you” several times before finally saying what she really wanted to say.
“You’ve caused a catastrophe.”
The words Luo Hu had uttered before leaving sent a chill through Lin Ziqing’s heart.
For all these years, the Lin family had enjoyed smooth sailing in Luo City. The main reason was that they had always kept their distance from underground forces like the Sea Dragon Gang. They had never taken the initiative to provoke them.
Even when the other side occasionally picked a fight, the Lin family would choose to pay their way out of trouble.
That was how they had maintained so many years of peace in Luo City.

But today, Xiao Nan’s reckless actions had thoroughly offended the Sea Dragon Gang.
And from Luo Hu’s parting words, it was not difficult to tell that they had already placed the blame squarely on the Lin family.
“Qianru, Yuxian.”
“Don’t worry too much. Judging from Luo Hu’s behavior just now, he doesn’t know who you are. He’ll only come after our Lin family in the future.”
Lin Ziqing spoke to her two pale-faced friends.
Yang Yuxian looked worried. “Then what will happen to your family?”
Lin Ziqing could not help glaring fiercely at Xiao Nan, that walking disaster, once more. “I don’t know what to do either. This matter is beyond anything I can resolve. I need to hurry home and discuss it with my father and the others. Goodbye.”
With that, Lin Ziqing climbed directly into her Porsche and sped away, leaving Xiao Nan standing there once again.
If this had happened earlier, she might have considered whether to let Xiao Nan ride back with her.
But now, she had no such inclination whatsoever.
This walking disaster had acted without regard for the consequences and brought such enormous trouble upon the Lin family. She was so irritated by him that she could hardly stand to look at him another time.
“Do you realize that because of your reckless behavior, you may have dragged the entire Lin family down with you?”
“Ziqing was cursed for eight lifetimes to end up with a fiancé like you.”
After Lin Ziqing left, Wu Qianru and Yang Yuxian both glared angrily at Xiao Nan.
“If it weren’t for me, you might already have been dragged to that bar by the Sea Dragon Gang to entertain them. Do you think you’d still be standing here lecturing me?”
Xiao Nan’s voice was cold.
“You…”
Wu Qianru was furious and was about to say more.
Yang Yuxian quickly grabbed her arm. She glanced at Li Yunbao and the others nearby, gave Wu Qianru a meaningful look, and pulled her away.
Once Lin Ziqing and the others had left, Xiao Nan turned to Li Yunbao, who had been standing silently nearby, waiting for his instructions.
“If you have nothing else to do, could you take me home?”
Miss Lin had thrown him out again. He had left without changing clothes and did not even have enough money for a taxi.
“Senior, you’re too polite. Of course.”
Li Yunbao quickly drove his Land Rover over to Xiao Nan, opened the door for him, and personally took the wheel.

“Is the Sea Dragon Gang really that powerful?”
In the car, Xiao Nan asked lazily.
Earlier, whether it was Tang Zhanhao and Wang Zhenglan, or Lin Ziqing and her friends, all of them had looked as though they had seen a ghost whenever the Sea Dragon Gang or Brother Dragon was mentioned.
“Er, to be frank, Senior…”
Li Yunbao gave Xiao Nan a bitter smile. “After I take you home, I’ll immediately disband Black Panther Hall and send my brothers their separate ways.”
“Hm?”
Xiao Nan could not help being startled. Was that really necessary?
“With the little strength Black Panther Hall possesses, if the Sea Dragon Gang truly wanted to destroy us, they could wipe us out more than a dozen times in a single day.”
“The reason the Sea Dragon Gang hasn’t made a move against us all these years is that I’ve always kept my tail between my legs before Zhou Hailong. But this time, we beat Luo Hu and his men so badly…”
“Luo Hu is the younger brother most valued by Zhou Pengfei, Zhou Hailong’s son. By doing this, we effectively slapped Zhou Pengfei in the face. There is practically no room left for reconciliation.”
Xiao Nan finally understood.
It was not only Tang Zhanhao, Lin Ziqing, and the others who feared the Sea Dragon Gang and Brother Dragon.
The fear on Li Yunbao’s face was no less intense whenever he mentioned Brother Dragon.
That alone showed how fearsome Zhou Hailong’s reputation was in Luo City.
“You don’t need to disband your men.” Xiao Nan’s expression remained calm. “Regardless, you were helping me this time. If the Sea Dragon Gang truly dares to come after you, I’ll deal with them for you.”
Li Yunbao’s expression grew complicated. “Senior, there is something you don’t know. Zhou Hailong is not only a cultivator but also a ranked expert. I hear he has already broken through to the Profound level.”
After saying this, Li Yunbao secretly watched Xiao Nan’s reaction.
From their earlier exchange, he knew only that Xiao Nan was extremely powerful and was very likely a cultivator himself. That was why he addressed him as Senior.
He had no idea what level Xiao Nan had actually reached.
“Hmph!” Xiao Nan snorted coldly. “He’s merely at the Profound level. Why should I care?”
The corners of Li Yunbao’s mouth twitched several times.
To him, a Profound-level expert was an existence far beyond his reach. Yet Xiao Nan had dismissed such a person as though he were beneath notice.
