Chapter 125 Hu Kou Town
Hu Kou Town.
This town was built next to the lake, hence the name which meant literally "town by the lake."
Ships would dock, goods would be unloaded and loaded.
There was a need for strong men to do the heavy work.
Hence, different gangs formed, and each tried to gain control of the piers.
The chaotic environment also enabled the Dark Lotus sect to set up a contact point.
Lin Fan and the rest would need to find a way to infiltrate and intercept their latest plans.
"You three over there! Don't you know the rules around here." A burly man followed by ten others pointed at Lin Fan and shouted.
Lin Fan and the rest had decided to pretend to be young men trying to make a living on the piers.
And when they faced difficulties, this would be when the Dark Lotus sect members sought them out.
They looked for those with a need for power, no matter how to get it.
"What rules? The ship owner had agreed to our price." Lin Fan shrugged and looked at the ship owner.
The ship owner, who thought he could try his luck and not go through one of the gangs, vigorously shook his head.
"It's a misunderstanding. I thought they were from your gang. Here, as compensation." The ship owner passed a string of copper coins to one of the thugs.
The burly man weighed the copper coins in his hand when the thugs passed it to him.
He was satisfied and said to the ship owner, "Shoo. Go back into your ship and don't make the same mistake ever again."
"As for the three of you." The group of men then smirked and moved in closer to Lin Fan.
The next moment, Lin Fan raised his hand and said, "Stop. I have a suggestion to make. Why don't you become members of our gang?"
"If you want to join our gang, it's too late now... Wait? You want us to join your gang?"
The burly man stopped when he realized what Lin Fan had said.
Who is this dumb idiot?
Where did he come from?
There's no other way but to teach him a lesson.
"Beat him until he begs for his life!" The burly man waved, and his men ran towards Lin Fan.
"Argh! You're right, let's go."
Hun Yen Kun also cried out in pain as he beat the crap out of the man in front of him.
As Ho Ming pushed the man lunging at him away, he also cried out, "Help!"
The three of them suddenly turned and ran away.
Leaving the burly man scratching his head.
Far away, a woman in the shadows saw what happened, and it was a scene of the gang overpowering Lin Fan, Ho Ming, and Hun Yen Kun to her.
A common occurrence that she could use to her advantage.
...
After running away for a few hundred meters, Lin Fan, Ho Ming, and Hun Yen Kun came to a street-side hawker for a meal.
"Three bowls of noodles." Lin Fan ordered food from the boss as Ho Ming took out chopsticks for the rest.
"Don't worry. We will find some way to make a living soon." Hun Yen Kun patted Ho Ming on the back.
A moment later, he turned to Lin Fan and said, "As for you, you mustn't be too rash next time."
Lin Fan shook his head and refuted, "Rash? Those people are just bullying us. We had a deal with the ship owner. If only we were... powerful."
Slam.
The chopsticks jumped when Lin Fan slammed his fist on the table.
He then held his fist up again in anger.
When the woman sitting next to them witnessed this, she stood up and came over.
"Pardon me. I'm Lin Zhi, and I might be able to help you with your grievance?" She smiled and bowed.
"How can you help? We have no money if that's what you are after." Lin Fan said.
She quickly scanned the surroundings, made sure no one was around, then motioned for them to get closer.
When they huddled close together, she continued and said, "When you are helpless, there are far more powerful beings who will grant you your wish. Unlike the fake Buddha and gods, my lord can help you."
"How do we know whether you are lying?" Lin Fan asked.

"Enjoy your noodles first. After that, follow me, and I'll change your life." Lin Zhi replied.
