Conflict arose from uneven distribution of loot?
Upon hearing this, Mo Han couldn’t help but laugh out loud, instantly knowing it must be Old Tang’s handiwork.
But this was for the best. The ordinary citizens had no idea about Nie Kuangtu and the ruthless Cangying rcenary Group; were it to spread, panic would be inevitable, causing social unrest.
"Oh."
Luo Ning hadn’t listened to the broadcast; her mind was preoccupied with what Mo Han had just said.
To be able to book the Splendid Starry Sky Restaurant, the highest quality and priciest place in Jiangling City, to invite the classical music master Rachmaninoff to perform with passion, and to mobilize hundreds of drones for coordinated action across from the Sofitel Hotel at the Gemini Building.
In all of Jiangling City, after much consideration, only the Four Great Families had such capabilities.
Could it be that the old gentleman Mo Han saved was a mber of the Four Great Families?
"Handso guy, beautiful lady, just another five hundred ters ahead is Blacklight Pier."
The taxi screeched to a halt, and the driver said with a troubled face, "Well, you should get off here, my car won’t go any further..."
"Why is that, Master?"
Luo Ning asked, slightly frowning with confusion.
"You can tell you haven’t been here much," sighed the taxi driver with a grave expression. "Blacklight Pier is probably the most chaotic place in all of Jiangling when it cos to safety."
"It’s a jumble here, with all sorts of people around, theft, robbery, telecom fraud—you na it."
"I’d bring you here during the day, but at night, no matter how much you pay , I wouldn’t dare set foot here."
"Handso guy, beautiful lady, just a friendly reminder: there are quite a few bad eggs at Blacklight Pier, so you must be vigilant about your safety. If soone tries to rob you, just hand over anything valuable you have, and don’t try to resist."
"Alright, thank you, Master." Mo Han smiled faintly, paid the fare by scanning his code, and then got off the taxi with Luo Ning.
Watching the two passengers head towards Blacklight Pier, the taxi driver shook his head in pity, murmuring, "Sigh, it’s my first ti seeing such a gorgeous woman; such a sha. Why would she go to a place like Blacklight Pier? Who knows if she can co out safe and sound today..."
Because the taxi wouldn’t dare to drive directly to Blacklight Pier, Mo Han had no choice but to walk there with Luo Ning.
They hadn’t even reached the pier when Luo Ning was startled by the scene before her eyes.
In her view, dozens of bare-chested workers were gathered in groups at the pier, so playing drinking gas with beer, others swearing non-stop while smoking and playing cards, and a few were even fighting.
Luo Ning rubbed her eyes, unable to believe such a place existed in Jiangling City.
"Mo Han, I’m scared..." Having recently recovered from a severe injury, Luo Ning instinctively sought refuge behind Mo Han.
"It’s nothing, I’m here." Mo Han gave a reassuring smile, seemingly unfazed by the workers.
Noticing strangers, the workers all turned their heads, and as they glimpsed Luo Ning, they were stunned.
My God!
Is there really such a beautiful woman in this world?
Even the female stars on TV aren’t as lovely, are they?
The workers gazed at Luo Ning with impudent looks, and a few of them even drooled.
A young man with a sleazy appearance cursed, "Damn, this chick is hot. It’d be freaking aweso to have a go..."
His colleagues egged him on, "Old Peng, all talk no action is utterly useless. If you’ve got the guts, go and cop a feel, heh heh..."
Prompted by his peers, the worker nicknad Old Peng’s confidence surged as he puffed out his chest, "Just copping a feel, right? I’ll show you how it’s done!"
With that, he rubbed his hands together, a lewd smile on his face as he walked past Luo Ning and Mo Han.
The very mont Luo Ning walked by, Old Peng reached out his right hand, trying to touch her lower body while she was distracted.
Instantly, all the workers’ eyes were glued to the scene, so even swallowing their saliva, wishing they could be the ones touching her.
They seed to be already hearing Luo Ning’s scream due to shock.
As Old Peng’s right hand approached, his face broke into a triumphant grin.
"Ah!"
But before his hand could reach her, he suddenly let out a squeal like a pig being slaughtered.
Everyone was surprised and turned to look, only to see that the beautiful woman’s companion had firmly grasped Old Peng’s wrist.
With a sharp twist, the wrist was snapped.
Mo Han released Old Peng and kicked him aside.
He glanced around at all the workers and said plainly, "I ca here with my wife to talk business with Boss He. If any of you dares to lay a hand on her again, this is what you’ll get!"
Mo Han ant to intimidate them into submission, but he had greatly underestimated these workers.
Used to the harsh environnt of Blacklight Pier, having seen many tough characters, they showed no fear at Old Peng’s defeat; instead, it provoked their anger, and they all looked ready to pounce.
Of course, they weren’t seeking revenge for Old Peng but were purely interested in Mo Han’s female companion.
Such a beautiful woman—who wouldn’t want a piece of that?
"Damn it, I don’t care who you’re here to see; daring to hit soone at Blacklight Pier takes so nerve!"
"Brothers, this bastard has beaten up Old Peng, let’s finish him off!"
At once, all the workers stood up, each holding a steel pipe or a wrench, with malicious grins on their faces as they approached.
Mo Han sighed, his tone tinged with resignation, "There really are too many idiots..."
