Chapter 32: The Three Giants of Hong Sect, Ninth Master!

The richest family in Jiangdong, the Jiang family. Colin Chen ordered the hundred Black Blood Guards, "Clear the scene out and smooth over!" Swish, swish! Hundreds of Black Blood Guards rushed out and killed all the Jiang family's guards at the door. There were corpses all over the ground and rivers of blood. Fern Zhang and Pearl Mu just stood at the gate, staring at everything. Pearl Mu had seen Ben Xiao's methods before, so she was relatively calm. On the other hand, Fern Zhang's eyes were wide open and her body was trembling. In her mind, the words Ben Xiao said echoed: Fern Zhang, you don't know me. Ben Xiao, was this what you relied on?! Even she, the executive vice-president of the Three Heung Society, was deeply shocked. At this time, Colin Chen walked up to Fern Zhang and Pearl Mu, cupped his hands, and said, "President Zhang, Miss Mu. I'll have someone escort you away. I have to burn this place to avoid leaving traces and causing huge public opinion." Fern Zhang finally came to her senses and said seriously, "Elder Chen, we are old acquaintances. Please do me a favor." Colin Chen said, "Please tell me." Fern Zhang, "Today's events must be strictly controlled. Prevent anyone from telling others about it. Especially the Black Blood Guard under your command." Colin Chen immediately understood, "Don't worry. All the Black Blood Guards of my Chen family are men of sacrifice. There is absolutely no possibility of leaking it out." "Thank you very much." After leaving a few words, Fern Zhang took Pearl Mu to leave without saying much more. The two of them had just walked out of the Jiang family's gate. There was a deafening explosion behind them. The Jiang family's hall collapsed. Subsequently, the entire Jiang family was engulfed in a raging fire. Fern Zhang was shocked when she saw it, "A fire is enough to burn all the blood and corpses of the Jiang family." "Abolishing the title of general and kill all bad guys in Jiangdong! Ben Xiao, Ben Xiao, it turns out that I underestimated you." With a long sigh, Fern Zhang got into the car and drove Pearl Mu away. Pearl Mu, who was sitting in the car, was in a state of mind. It took a long time to calm down, and then she said softly, "Mom, thank you very much." Fern Zhang smiled while driving, "Thank me for what?" Pearl Mu said, "You asked Colin Chen to keep it a secret. This helped Ben Xiao a lot." Fern Zhang glanced at her daughter curiously, "Oh? Tell me about it." Pearl Mu said, "I have been engaged in the security business for the past five years. I also have a good understanding of many wealthy families in Zhonghai. However, I only heard rumors about Martial Arts masters and thought they were just legends. I didn't expect that they actually existed." Pearl Mu sighed and continued, "Whether it's Jiangnan, Jiangbei, or Jiangdong, they are not considered to be a first-class wealthy family in Zhonghai City. I'm afraid that Ben Xiao's decimation of Jiangdong will lead to endless trouble if the news spreads to the top wealthy families in Zhonghai City." "If you ask Colin Chen to block the news, outsiders will think that the destruction of Jiangdong's powerful families is due to Gaby Hua and the cheetah group. In this way, Ben Xiao can temporarily avoid being targeted." "Mom, although you have a bad attitude towards Ben Xiao, you have good intentions. Thank you." "My daughter is so smart. We haven't seen each other for five years. You have grown up a lot and have insight into the world." Fern Zhang smiled happily and said, "Daughter, now that the matter has come to this point. I will explain it to you. Although I questioned this marriage contract decided by the old man, I never thought about rejecting it. I never thought about breaking you up." Thinking of this, Fern Zhang suddenly smiled sadly, "I said those harsh words to Ben Xiao before, just to take the opportunity to create a sense of crisis for him. At the same time, I wanted to make his impulsive temper have some change." "Now it seems that he is like a lion. It's not easy to change it." Pearl Mu had mixed feelings, "Ben Xiao has the support of the Hua family. No one in Zhonghai can offend him, right?" Fern Zhang shook her head, "Daughter, after all, you still don't understand anything about Martial Arts. David Hua is a strong Martial Arts master. But what he relies on is the power of the Pyeongnam War Department." "In Pyeongnam, David Hua is a generational general. But when he leaves Pyeongnam, his influence will be lost." Pearl Mu suddenly realized something, "Can the Martial Arts families in Zhonghai suppress David Hua?" Fern Zhang nodded heavily, "David Hua once came to Zhonghai and tried to suppress the Lee family in Zhonghai. But in the end, nothing happened." Pearl Mu was shocked, "What? David Hua has been to Zhonghai before?!" "Why didn't I know…" Pearl Mu thought. Fern Zhang said, "Five years ago, the Xiao family in Zhonghai was massacred. The next day, David Hua came to Zhonghai City and threatened Vladimir Li with the lives of the entire Lee family to explain the destruction of the Xiao family." "In the end, both sides took action. However, David Hua was forced to leave." Pearl Mu gasped, "What? The Lee family in Zhonghai can actually defeat David Hua?! David Hua is the number one general in Pyeongnam!" Fern Zhang said in a deep voice, "Now you should know how terrifying the real Martial Arts family is, right?" "In front of the Martial Arts family, the great power and wealth mean nothing… Although Ben Xiao is supported by Gaby Hua, he is also a Martial Arts master, overwhelming Jiangnan, Jiang Bei, and Jiangdong. When he faces to Lee family in Zhonghai, it is not enough." Pearl Mu gritted her teeth, "Is the Martial Arts family so scary?" Fern Zhang sighed, "Just imagine, even if it is David Hua who controls the Pyeongnam War Department. If the Martial Arts family sends a peerless master to kill him, can he hide? Even if he can hide in the base of the War Department, what about he leaves it?" Hiss! Pearl Mu suddenly took a deep breath as an indescribable feeling of oppression came over her. Suddenly, Pearl Mu seemed to understand something, "Money indicates wealth, power determines status, martial arts determines life and death… So that's it." Fern Zhang said deeply, "Yes. People chase money because it shows wealth, but people don't fear rich men. Why? Because the world has laws, and rich men cannot violate them. Therefore, money comes last." "Whether they are poor or rich, they all fear power, because the people have the power to control the law. Even a billionaire may be destroyed by someone who controls a little power using the knife of law." "But the law is the source of order in this society, a red line. The powerful men can control the law, but they are also bound by the law. At most, they can only control the law secretly or on a small scale. Because once the law is out of control on a large scale, society will be in chaos. It's what the ancients called 'Ceremony Disintegration'" "Only the Martial Arts family can look down upon the world and ignore the laws. They are at the true pinnacle and no one can limit them. Nor can ordinary laws!" Pearl Mu was stunned, as if she was understanding the world for the first time. After a long time, Pearl Mu suddenly understood something, "I get it. Back then, the Xiao family of Dragon Mountain City had dominated the eighteen provinces of East of the Huai River. But it was annihilated overnight. The only ones who can destroy the Xiao family are the Martial Arts families, right?" Fern Zhang said, "Smart." Pearl Mu continued, "Now Ben Xiao is back again. He relies on the power of Martial Arts. Perhaps he, the once high-ranking Young Marshal of Longshan, has experienced the pain of that year and is determined to make changes." Fern Zhang, "That should be the case. He obviously also knows this, but it's a pity that he is still too young. The road of Martial Arts requires opportunities, guides, and even more time. Without thirty or fifty years of hard work, it is difficult to have great achievement." "The Lee family of Zhonghai is an existence that Ben Xiao shouldn't offend!" "Besides, the Lee family is not the only Martial Arts family in Zhonghai. In the past five years, no one has dared to violate the Martial Arts family in Zhonghai. Once Ben Xiao sets a precedent, everything will change!" "I hope the families in Zhonghai will blame Gaby Hua for all the blood debts in Jiangdong. Once the news spreads, it will be like the sky is falling!" Pearl Mu's face darkened, "With Ben Xiao's character, he will definitely go to the Lee family to ask for an explanation. We have to stop him…" Stop Ben Xiao? But, could they stop Ben Xiao successfully? "Mom, think of a way. We must stop Ben Xiao!" "Ben Xiao's temper, once he decides something, no one can stop him. But I know there is a person who may be able to end this matter. Follow me." … Ben Xiao drove Pearl Mu's roadster and carried Christian Zhang all the way. Finally, they arrived at the Linhe Hotel on the west side of Jiangdong. This place was adjacent to Chang Jiang, the mother river of Zhonghai. Although it was located in a remote area, the environment was beautiful. A magnificent hotel stood by the river, overlooking the entire Chang Jiang. There were also more than a dozen holiday villa hotels lined up next to the building. It was so luxurious that it looked like a vacation paradise specially built for wealthy people. Christian Zhang introduced, "This is Jin Xiu Villa. It is the ninth master's territory. And if you want to see your second aunt, you must be introduced by the ninth master." Ben Xiao frowned, "What's going on?" Christian Zhang noticed the murderous aura fluctuating on Ben Xiao's body and did not dare to hide it at all, "At the beginning, Carson Xie was indeed in my hands. But I couldn't force anything out. Later, someone from the Lee family wanted to take Carson Xie away. But just at this moment, someone came forward to protect Carson Xie." "The two sides engaged in a tug-of-war, and finally chose a compromise— handing Carson Xie over to the ninth master, who stood in the middle. In this way, whoever wants to see Carson Xie needs the ninth master's consent. This matter came to an end." Ben Xiao asked in a deep voice, "Who is the ninth master?" Christian Zhang said, "The big brother of Hong Sect! Before the founding of the country, there were two top underground forces in Zhonghai, one of which was C and the other was Hong Sect. Later, when the Xia Country was established, one of the forces, C, was on the wrong team and was annihilated. And because of Hong Sect stood on the right side, they developed more and more powerfully. Later, they established the overseas Hong Sect and became the leader of overseas Chinese. Hong Sect in Zhonghai controlled overseas Hong Sect. The top one is the three giants of the Hong Sect. And the ninth master is one of the three giants." "Even the Lee family from Zhonghai have to respect the ninth master and doesn't dare to offend him easily. The most important thing in the ninth master's life is his credibility. Therefore, the Lee family and the mysterious man who tried to protect Carson Xie both trust the ninth master." Ben Xiao nodded slightly, "The influence of overseas Hong Sect in the Chinese community is indeed very great. But I didn't expect that the headquarters of such a large overseas Hong Sect would be in Zhonghai." While talking, Ben Xiao carried Christian Zhang and walked into the door of the hotel. The hotel lobby was magnificent but very deserted. There were neither guests nor waiters. It seemed very strange. At this moment, the sound of high heels hitting the ground came. Crisp and rhythmic, the sound was beautiful. Just by hearing this sound, one could know that the owner of the high heels was a noble and elegant woman. Ben Xiao turned around and looked. He saw a woman slowly walking down the grand staircase in the lobby. The woman wore a tight-fitting green silk cheongsam embroidered with lotus flowers, which was very short and had a high slit. A pair of long legs wearing black stockings was shocking. She paired it with high heels to show off her hot figure. Under the braided hair was a breathtakingly beautiful face. She was elegant, calm, and had a noble temperament. The entire magnificent hall became dim because of her appearance. Walking to Ben Xiao's side, the aroma hit his face. She raised her slender hand, "Hello, Mr. Xiao. My name is Ada Song, and my father is what outsiders call the ninth master." Her physique was elegant and the atmosphere was calm. Her deep and clear eyes clearly saw the deposed Christian Zhang, but she was not surprised at all. "Hello." Ben Xiao stretched out his hand and shook hands with the woman slightly. Her hand was silky and tender, and the feeling was extremely good. There was no emotion in Ben Xiao's cold eyes. Even though she was a peerless beauty, Ben Xiao was never moved at all. He only shook his hand slightly and took it back. Just as Ben Xiao was about to ask about the ninth master's whereabouts, Ada Song said, "My father is already waiting by the river. Please follow me." Taking the hotel's sightseeing bus, they passed through the beautiful gardens and jungles and finally arrived at a pavilion by the river. Outside the pavilion, a plank road led straight to the river. At the end of the plank road, there sat an old man wearing a black Tang suit. He was fishing with a fishing rod in hand. Needless to say, Ben Xiao knew that this old man was the ninth master, one of the three giants of the Hong Sect. What surprised Ben Xiao was a man standing next to the ninth master. He was Red-faced, muscular, about forty years old. He wore a gray casual suit. He stood motionless like a door god. The breath was high. Others might not be able to find it, but Ben Xiao could. This man in gray clothes turned out to be a Martial Arts master! And the strength was far superior to Taro Izawa! "Plop!" Christian Zhang suddenly knelt to the ninth master, "Ninth master, please give me another chance. Ben Xiao wants to visit Carson Xie." The ninth master said leisurely, "You only have one chance to visit Carson Xie once a year. Yesterday, you used up." Bang! Christian Zhang knocked his head on the ground, "If I can't see Carson Xie, Ben Xiao will kill me. Please, the ninth master, for the sake of our long-term friendship, give me another chance." The ninth master said calmly, "Christian, everyone in the world knows that I value credibility most. Since I have promised something, it cannot be changed." Christian Zhang cried, tears streaming down his face. "Please, for the sake of our many years of friendship, give me another chance." The ninth master said calmly, "Many years of friendship? You think too highly of yourself. Even when your Zhang family was at its peak, I never regarded you as a friend. If it weren't for the Lee family's sake, you wouldn't even be qualified to see me." "It was like this before, let alone now?" Christian Zhang was greatly stimulated and collapsed to the ground. Once a person was down and out, he was even worse than a dog! Christian Zhang was unwilling and asked. "Then why are you meeting me today?" Ninth master did not look back, and smiled slightly, "I don't want to see you today, but Ben Xiao beside you." Hiss! Christian Zhang's face turned red. It really made Christian Zhang embarrassed. The ninth master continued to hold the fishing rod and concentrated on fishing, "Mr. Xiao, I can answer you three questions." The ninth master gave Ben Xiao a very mysterious feeling. After staring at the old man for a long time, Ben Xiao regained his composure and went straight to the point, "Is my second aunt in your hands?" The ninth master shook his head, "She is not in my hands but in Zhonghai City. Anyone who wants to contact Carson Xie must get my agreement." Ben Xiao, "Is my second aunt healthy?" Ninth master, "She has suffered a lot. But I have taken good care of her and she is still healthy." Ben Xiao asked again, "Is her life in danger?" Three questions were asked about Carson Xie's situation. This showed how much Ben Xiao cared about his second aunt. The ninth master was silent for a moment and replied, "Not yet. But the crisis is coming soon." She was in good health and there was no danger for the time being. Hoo! Ben Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, "Please, the ninth master, lead the way for me to meet my second aunt!"
