Chapter 240 Is That Guy Really That Strong?

The lights in the hotel suite were as bright as day.

The three faces seemed to be shrouded in shadows, appearing gloomy and uncertain.

Two of them were the middle-aged man and the young boy Xiaobei who had encountered Fang Cheng in the elevator early that morning.

"Old Wolf, who is that person you are talking about?"

The third person sitting opposite asked a question.

He was fat, with a round belly that made his shirt stick tight, and his small eyes were narrowed into slits, revealing shrewdness and suspicion.

After a pause, he added:
"We can't let someone with unknown backgrounds join the team. How can we expect everyone to trust him?"

The middle-aged man was wearing a gray jacket today, his hair was short and neat, and his facial features were strong. He did not look weak at all as if he had been seriously injured a few days ago.

At this moment, he gently stroked his chin, frowned slightly, and did not answer the other party immediately.

After a moment, he slowly spoke:
"I have a feeling he's a trustworthy person."

The fat man was dumbfounded when he heard this. He didn't know how to respond and could only smack his lips.

She seemed to be wondering where the middle-aged man's unfounded "premonition" came from.

The middle-aged man raised his head slightly and looked through the window at the night view in the distance, as if he was lost in thought.

He was Black Wolf, a ruthless character who was once feared by everyone in the Northwest underworld.

He controls a team of killers, each of whom is ruthless and capable of taking on ten people at once.

From the fight for territory between gangs to the control of underground casinos and smuggling routes, as long as it is a "business" that Black Wolf sets his eyes on, there is nothing he cannot take down.

He was extremely cruel and never spared anyone alive who dared to disobey his orders or oppose him.

Those underworld gangs that attempted to challenge his authority would often be uprooted overnight, and the gang leaders would either disappear without a trace or be chopped into pieces and their bodies hung for public display.

He left behind rumors about his various bloody methods in the underworld, which made everyone who heard them terrified.

However, although Heilang is in the underworld and acts ruthlessly, he has his own principles.

He only killed evildoers and would never shed the blood of innocent civilians.

Once, a gang of robbers robbed a bank and took a group of hostages in order to threaten the police.

Black Wolf happened to be among them, and he stepped forward single-handedly and unleashed his killing methods.

He eliminated all the gangsters with lightning speed, ensuring that the hostages were unharmed, and then took advantage of the chaos to escape.

This battle scene was captured faithfully by the bank's cameras.

After this incident, Black Wolf left the name "Chivalrous Black Wolf" in the martial arts world, which changed many people's views of him.

Even in the mysterious circle of extraordinary people, he is highly respected for his chivalrous spirit and courage, attracting many talented people to make friends and work with him.

But I often walk by the river, so I don’t have any wet shoes.

Because his arrogant style of behavior caused "bad influence", he was finally targeted by the special search team two years ago.

After several fierce confrontations, in order to avoid the special search team's rigorous pursuit, Black Wolf had to give up the power and industry he had worked so hard to build up. He began to hide from place to place and disappeared for a while.

Until recently, he heard the secret behind the explosion at the Xishan archaeological site and keenly sensed the huge opportunities contained therein. His long-dormant heart was ignited again.

Relying on his past prestige, he gathered his old subordinates and friends, and his first target was the precious Buddhist treasure that had been lost for nearly two thousand years.

Unexpectedly, this operation was much more difficult than he had imagined. Most of the team members were killed in several battles, resulting in heavy casualties.

This inevitably made him lose some of his fighting spirit, and he was no longer as decisive as before.

"Master Bao."

After a moment of silence, Black Wolf turned around and looked straight at the fat man:
"You can see the current situation. The attraction of the Golden Benba Bottle is beyond imagination. So many Cheng Yaojins have appeared along the way. Everyone is eyeing this treasure."

"We made strategic mistakes and acted rashly, which resulted in heavy casualties among our brothers. We are actually out of the game."

The fat man called "Master Bao" heard this, the fat on his face trembled, and snorted:
"You can't blame me for this. Our opponents are really strong and they use a lot of dirty tricks. It's not easy for us to hold on until now."

You know, he was the one who made the main plan in the beginning. Now that Hei Lang had done that to him, he naturally couldn't hold back his face.

Then, he looked up at Black Wolf and asked with some reluctance:

"Old Wolf, you're not going to back down just like that, are you?"

"For this thing, we have staked our entire lives and even risked being arrested by the special search team. I am a little upset that we are giving up so easily."

"According to my plan, I have to at least wait until the end to see the treasure. Maybe I'll have a chance to pick it up!"

“It is impossible to give up nature.”

Black Wolf frowned and said in a deep voice:

"The Golden Bamba Bottle is of great importance. If we miss it, it will be difficult for us to recover in the future. But given the current situation, we have no choice but to find another way out."

"I've been thinking about it over and over again these past few days. If I want to get a piece of the pie, sitting and waiting for pie to fall from the sky is definitely not going to work. I have to take the initiative to have a chance."

"The best way is to find a strong ally and fight your way out again."

He raised his chin slightly, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes:

"So, I've been paying special attention to someone these days. Maybe he can help us turn the tide."

Bao Ye frowned slightly when he heard this, his face full of suspicion:
"I don't even know the exact origins of this person you're talking about. Is he really that strong?"

"Master Bao, I think that big brother can really do it."

Xiao Bei, who had been sitting nearby and listening quietly, suddenly interrupted:
"He was the one who helped heal Uncle Wolf's leg injury."

Following Xiao Bei's words, Bao Ye's gaze turned to Black Wolf's right leg.

Seeing this, Black Wolf stood up immediately.

His eyes focused, he took a deep breath, his thigh muscles tensed instantly, and then he kicked forward like lightning.

This kick was as fast as the wind, leaving an afterimage in the air and bringing up a whistling hurricane, which actually blew away a stack of playing cards that had not yet been put away on the table next to it, making them flutter in all directions and not fall down for a long time.

Looking at the black wolf again, he landed steadily on one foot, his body motionless, as if his feet had taken root.

This move not only demonstrates his sharp leg skills and great strength, but is also the best proof that his physical condition is almost fully recovered.

"That night, we encountered an expert and our operation failed miserably. After escaping from the manor, I returned to the hotel and happened to run into that young man."

Black Wolf said as he retracted his attack:
"My leg was seriously injured at the time, with broken and dislocated bones, but he helped me fix it in place right away. The subsequent wound healing speed was several times faster than taking medicine, almost as fast as when I used my beast transformation ability. Don't you think it's amazing?" Uncle Bao's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but nod slightly after hearing this.

This skill is invaluable on the battlefield. It can save lives at critical moments and ensure subsequent combat effectiveness, thereby preventing loss of manpower due to injuries.

But as soon as he thought about it, he shook his head again and said with a curled lip:

"Having this special ability to heal injuries is great, but what we lack most right now is real combat power."

"With just a few of us, if we face a stronger team, it will be no different from delivering food. If we add a support person, we will have to distract and take care of them, which will only add a burden."

"Don't underestimate him."

Black Wolf's expression became stern, and his tone became a little higher:

"A few days ago, I met him when I was tracking the Fire Bear gang in Misty Mountain."

"At that time, Huo Xiong brought two of his men. Three of them surrounded him with guns, and the muzzles of the guns were almost pointed at his face, but he remained calm. Before his opponents could fire, he subdued all of them in an instant and knocked them unconscious to the ground."

"The whole process took less than a second. Even though the two sides were only a few meters apart, the bullets couldn't hit him."

"Master Bao, how many times have you seen this kind of skill and speed?"

Hearing this, the fat on Bao Ye's face twitched again and he took a breath.

He had fought with the Fire Bear before and knew how capable it was. In a one-on-one match, it was impossible for him to subdue the opponent easily.

That person was actually able to take down the entire group of Fire Bears within one second. The difference in strength was even bigger than an adult beating a child. It was simply a crushing defeat.

I was afraid that if I went up there myself, I would only get beaten. Even if Black Wolf transformed and tried his best, he might not win.

Xiao Bei listened at the side, his eyes showing awe, and he couldn't help but mutter:
"No wonder he didn't panic at all when I pointed the gun at him. I still remember the calmness in his eyes."

"I was a little panicked at the time. How could this guy be so calm? Now it seems that he really has real skills."

Thinking of how he dared to confront such a top master, Xiao Bei became more and more excited, and the anticipation in his eyes became brighter and brighter:
"Uncle, if that big brother is willing to help, can we turn defeat into victory?"

Black Wolf looked at Xiao Bei, who had an innocent face, and smiled gently, then looked at his partner sitting opposite him:
"And the most important point is that we don't have much time left."

"According to the information we have received, February 2th is the most likely date when the Golden Bamba Bottle will be sent to the auction. By then, the people from the International Shadow Auction will come and take over. Unless someone intends to confront them head-on, everyone will have to give up."

Having said this, Black Wolf's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his pupils faintly flashed with a dark green light.

"So, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we have to make a choice. Either we are completely eliminated and admit defeat, or we take another risk and grab the Golden Bamba Bottle before the auction."

After listening to Heilang's analysis, Bao Ye sighed softly, leaned his fat body back and leaned on the sofa.

He tapped his fingers on the armrest, thought for a while, and finally nodded:

"Okay, I believe you this time and am willing to take a risk with you."

"But then again, how do you plan to convince such a master? Maybe he is already a member of a certain team and doesn't think highly of us."

Black Wolf had a confident look on his face and explained slowly:
"According to my secret observations over the past two days and the customer information I learned from the front desk, he should be a tourist who came here for vacation. He is a little curious about the Misty Mountain, but has not really set foot there."

"Anyway, there's no harm in trying to contact him first."

Bao Ye sat up straight and then asked a key question:
"How do you plan to discuss the distribution of benefits with him? This kind of thing must be made clear in advance, otherwise internal strife will be troublesome when the time comes."

Black Wolf did not answer immediately. Instead, he stood up, walked slowly to the window, and looked out at the dark night.

The lights of the city flickered in the distance, just like their uncertain fate at this moment.

After a moment, he spoke in a firm tone:
"I believe that for a master like him, as long as the benefits we offer are tempting enough, he will be tempted. After all, in this world, no one can resist benefits."

"What's more-"

Black Wolf paused, a different light flashed in his eyes, and then he said:
"Wolves seek companions not only for the pursuit of strength and food, but also for the guidance of fate. I have a hunch that he is a wolf leader worth following and trusting, and he will lead us out of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Bao Ye and Xiao Bei were both stunned, not knowing what he meant.

Black Wolf didn't say anything else, just stared out the window quietly.

His eyes penetrated the deep night and seemed to see the figure that he had placed high hopes on.

....................................

The morning light is dim.

The thin mist flows slowly through the woods like a veil, adding a touch of hazy beauty to this quiet world.

The sound of chanting can be faintly heard from the temple in the distance, which seems to be the Buddhist sound from a distant fairyland, further highlighting the quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Fang Cheng was like a hermit who was isolated from the world, sitting in the center of the woods, on a huge rock that had been polished smooth by time.

He stood straight, his legs crossed, his hands resting naturally on his knees, palms facing up.

As if imitating the monks, he also performs his own "morning lessons" with a pious attitude, welcoming the vitality surging in the mountains and forests.

His eyes were lightly closed, his face calm, like a deep, ripple-free lake, completely isolating himself from the noise and disturbance of the outside world.

At the same time, the fresh air in the forest is filled with the fragrance of grass and soil.

As he breathed, the air seeped into his pores like a gentle baptism.

Every breath you take is a deep connection with nature.

Every time you exhale, you are expelling worldly distractions from your body, making your body and mind clearer and more ethereal.

Time seemed to stand still here, with only the tiny shadows of light shining through the branches and leaves quietly moving over him.

After a long time, Fang Cheng's thick eyelashes trembled and he slowly opened his eyes.

When his eyes opened and closed, there seemed to be a flash of stars, making them appear particularly bright and lively.

Right in front of him, a light blue screen appeared in the air.

Fang Cheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly and whispered to himself:
"It seems that my idea is roughly correct, and the effect of my practice is indeed better than before."
