Along the way, Zhou Mang said, "Sect Master, the other side has over a dozen desperate men, notorious thugs who fear neither death nor pain. A few years ago, some ruthless characters tried to snatch the sand business, and they all scared them away."
Ye Tian: "What you're saying is, it's about who's tougher?"
Zhou Mang nodded: "When we go this time, that fellow surnamed Wu will definitely try to out-tough us."
Ye Tian: "Interesting!"
The car drove to a sand quarry. The quarry was vast, with piles of sand dozens of meters high. At current prices, the river sand stockpiled here alone was worth at least several hundred million.
Besides sand, over a hundred dump trucks were parked there, along with more than a dozen luxury cars, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions.
As the car entered, the dozens of leashed guard dogs immediately barked furiously. A searchlight on a distant iron tower illuminated Ye Tian and his companions.
"Who's there?"
Soon, a pickup truck drove over, and four people alighted. Upon seeing Zhou Mang, one of them sneered, "Well, well, Boss Zhou, have you thought it over and are ready to come and apologize?"
Zhou Mang sneered, "Let Zhou Xiaoyong come out!"
The man spat, "Who do you think you are to call our boss's name?"
Ye Tian said calmly, "Zhou Mang, you go."
Zhou Mang was stunned. Although he knew some martial arts, he was still a bit lacking against these thugs. But he didn't hesitate and strode forward.
He had taken only one step when Ye Tian patted him on the back. Instantly, a mysterious force surged into his body, flowing through his meridians and instantly unblocking all of them. Suddenly, he became immensely strong, even his hair stood on end.
Zhou Mang roared and leaped several meters, landing directly in front of the men. Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, he grabbed two men with one hand each and tossed them seventeen or eighteen meters away, leaving them dizzy and disoriented. The remaining two were also slammed heavily against the car by Zhou Mang, collapsing in pain.
Ye Tian said, "Go inside."
The group continued driving inward, arriving in front of a row of buildings.
Those inside heard the commotion, and dozens of people rushed out, three of whom were holding guns.
A burly middle-aged man stepped forward and said coldly, "Zhou Mang, you dare to cause trouble here, you're courting death!"
"Oh really?" Zhou Mang sneered, "I think the one who dies today will be you!"
The three men aimed their guns at Ye Tian and his companions, but in the next second, the barrels of their guns suddenly twisted and deformed, rendering them useless.
Ye Tian reached out and patted everyone's bodies a few times. Zhou Mang's group suddenly became energetic and charged towards the opponents.
This group seemed to have transformed into martial arts masters, with quick reflexes and great strength. In just a few minutes, they had subdued the opposing group.
Zhou Mang stepped on the middle-aged man's head and asked, "Who did you say would die today?"
The man being stepped on was Zhou Xiaoyong, the leader of the group. He sighed and said, "I admit defeat today. What do you want?"
Zhou Mang sneered, "Do you know who I am?"
The other replied, "I know, you have some sect behind you that plays with Gu. But I'm not afraid of you, I, Zhou Xiaoyong, also have backing!"
Ye Tian said, "Since you have backing, I'll give you a chance. Call your backer now. If you're strong enough, you might still have a chance to turn the tables."
Zhou Xiaoyong's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Ye Tian nodded to Zhou Mang, who removed his foot and said coldly, "Make the call!"
Zhou Xiaoyong quickly dialed a number and said, "Master Chu, someone has come to kill on my territory. Do you have time to come over? Alright, I'll wait for you!"
After hanging up, Zhou Xiaoyong's eyes seemed to gain a new confidence. He said calmly, "Gentlemen, if you have the guts, wait here. Master Chu is not far from here, he'll be here in over ten minutes!"
