Chapter 740 757: Avenge for the Girl?
The Flying Dragon Sect and the Heaven and Earth Society have always occupied the east and west sides of Wancheng, respectively. The natural zoning of the city lay between them. But now Lin Mu has directly led his men to confront the Heaven and Earth Society, leaving Huo Yanggen puzzled as to why Lin Mu would do such a thing?"Heh heh, why target your territory? It's for revenge, of course." In the Martial World, everything must abide by a code of conduct. Fighting for righteousness, that's called a justified cause. Lin Mu is certainly not an unreasonable person. If there's no coherent explanation, word would spread and the Flying Dragon Sect would be criticized by fellow martial artists.
"Revenge? What enmity do I have with you?" Huo Yanggen was even more bewildered after hearing Lin Mu's explanation.
"Hey hey, don't pretend. Your men injured my girl. Naturally, I have to get justice for her. If it were your girl injured by the Flying Dragon Sect, would you, as a man, sit idly by?" Lin Mu questioned.
Those present were taken aback when they heard Lin Mu's reason. Some couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, this is what they call 'raising hell for a beauty'! This guy truly dares to love and hate. To confront the Heaven and Earth Society for his girlfriend, that's badass!" The onlookers were impressed; today was certainly eye-opening!
"Your girl? When did I ever injure your girlfriend?" Huo Yanggen asked.
"Hey hey, let me tell you, my girl is a disciple of the Dark Night Sect. Now you should understand, right?" Lin Mu chuckled, displaying a careless and fearless demeanor.
"Dark Night Sect?!" Huo Yanggen was taken aback, finally understanding Lin Mu's claim. In reality, the talk of injuring his girl was merely an excuse to back the Dark Night Sect.
The alliance between the Flying Dragon Sect and the Dark Night Sect against the Heaven and Earth Society was now clear. There was no need for Huo Yanggen to inquire further. Not only had the Dark Night Sect disrupted the Heaven and Earth Society's trade, but Earth Wolf had also injured the Four Great Division Chiefs earlier, which was a grievance that must be addressed. According to the underworld rules, one cannot overlook their losses, or else other factions would perceive the Heaven and Earth Society as weak, letting them take advantage, and how would the brothers maintain their dignity?
"Heh heh, do you understand why now?" Lin Mu chuckled.
"Lin Mu, it seems we have no choice but to settle this today."
"Oh? You better weigh your own strength first. Don't make things difficult for yourself!" Lin Mu shrugged.
"Ha, you underestimate others!" Huo Yanggen sneered, a dominant aura suddenly erupting, "Underestimating your opponent will cost you dearly!"
Earth Wolf wanted to step forward, but Lin Mu stopped him and stepped forward himself, "Earth Wolf, you just took on three people; now you must be tired. Let me handle this for a bit!"
Huo Yanggen is no ordinary person; Lin Mu could sense it. While Earth Wolf might manage against the Four Great Division Chiefs, dealing with Huo Yanggen seemed challenging!
Huo Yanggen and Lin Mu stared each other down as if a fierce battle was about to erupt!
"Huo Yanggen, you should never partner with the Tsar Organization for drug trafficking. This violates the justice of the Huaxia Martial World. You harm the Huaxia people and line your pockets. Your actions make you a target of justice, marked for elimination! You should understand my point?" Lin Mu said loudly, looking at Huo Yanggen.
Huo Yanggen frowned slightly, greatly shocked, "You, how do you know about this?"
Huo Yanggen's actions were quite covert, but upon realizing Lin Mu's close ties with the Dark Night Sect, it wasn't surprising for him to know.
"Initially, I didn't plan to confront you; we could sit down with the Dark Night Sect and discuss things. The Dark Night Sect's main target was just the Four Great Hall Masters, not you. Now that the Four Great Hall Masters have been eliminated, a truce between both sides is possible. However, your collusion with the Tsar Organization, engaging in drug smuggling that harms Huaxia's people, is absolutely intolerable to both the legitimate and underground world!" Lin Mu stated forcefully to Huo Yanggen.
"Ha, what authority do you have? Do you think you're the Wancheng boss? The mayor? Or the city committee secretary? Can you meddle in what I do? Has it violated your interests? You're overreaching," Huo Yanggen scoffed, posing a series of questions to Lin Mu.
"You're correct; it hasn't harmed my personal interests. But I have a habit of sticking my nose where it doesn't belong. I despise those who harm their compatriots by working with foreign organizations. You can send drugs to the Tsar Organization, I won't stop you. But when it's brought here to harm Huaxia compatriots, that's something I must intervene in!" Lin Mu declared clearly.
Lin Mu understood that Old Lin's reason for having him organize his underground forces was not to flex power in Wancheng, but to unify Huaxia's underworld, ensuring peace and stability, creating rules for Huaxia's underground. Since ancient times, rules are essential for order. There are rules for the legitimate world, and there must be fitting rules for the underground. Some matters the legitimate world can't control; thus, using one's own underground forces to regulate matters is the optimal solution!
This was why Old Lin instructed Lin Mu to form his own team, using his own strength to unite Huaxia Martial World, and establish underground rules. Of course, achieving the unification and setting rules isn't a task accomplished overnight; it requires immense strength, and Lin Mu is far from that!
Currently, the objective is to maintain peace in the underground world, removing entities that compromise principles for profit, such as the Heaven and Earth Society, which harms Huaxia's Martial World. Lin Mu, as the future leader, cannot tolerate such acts!
For the underground world, there are numerous ways to make money, given manpower and resources. Yet, indulging in actions that harm compatriots brings disgrace to martial principles and condemnation from peers! This is why Lin Mu must eliminate the Heaven and Earth Society!
"Lin Mu, you're overstepping, thinking you hold authority? Do you fancy yourself the Alliance Leader of the Huaxia Martial Arts? When did the Heaven and Earth Society's affairs become your domain? Don't be too self-righteous!" Huo Yanggen spoke coldly.
"Indeed, I love meddling, and I will handle this matter!" Lin Mu shrugged.
"Then let's see if you have the strength!" Huo Yanggen glared at Lin Mu, releasing a vigorous, dominant aura throughout his body.
