Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090: A Call from the Hall Master

Wu Jinlong realized it was impossible for him to take action, so he took out his phone and made a call.

“Deputy Hall Master,” a calm voice replied on the other end.

“Get out now and eliminate them all!” Wu Jinlong shouted.

“Get out?” The person on the other end hesitated for a moment.

“That’s right, come out now,” Wu Jinlong demanded.

No one knew who Wu Jinlong was calling, but it seemed the person was hidden nearby.

The person agreed with a single word and then hung up the phone.

Wu Jinlong’s eyes showed madness; he must defeat Xiang Yu today.

Xiang Yu also became vigilant. It seemed the opponent was using their trump card. The Hongmen was a big gang with hidden talents and many experts.

At this moment, five people walked out from outside. These five people had light steps, walking without any sound.

Seeing their coordination, Xiang Yu knew these five people were experts.

They had indifferent expressions, devoid of happiness or sorrow, looking almost dead, and their faces were pale, as if suffering from malnutrition.

“Why do they all look like ghosts?” Tie Zhuzi sneered.

Xiang Yu frowned upon seeing them. Looking at their emotionless demeanor, Xiang Yu guessed these people were members of the opponent’s Dark Department.

To deal with Xiang Yu, the opponent had deployed the Dark Department members, something very taboo in the underworld, imagining Wu Jinlong’s current anger.

Xiang Yu knew things had escalated, but only five people had emerged, indicating more were hidden around.

“Deputy Hall Master,” the leader approached Wu Jinlong, speaking respectfully.

“Cripple them all,” Wu Jinlong gradually resumed his calm, confident demeanor.

The person tilted their head, glanced at Xiang Yu and his group, then nodded and started walking towards them.

Seeing their confident stride, it was clear they didn’t take Xiang Yu’s group seriously.

“Step back,” Xiang Yu knew these five were experts, and called Wang Ze and the others to the back.

“Big brother, I’ll join you,” Wang Ze stood beside Xiang Yu.

Now Xiang Yu was in the middle, Tie Zhuzi and Wang Ze flanked him, prepared to confront the adversaries.

Even Xiang Yu said these five were no ordinary talents, so they definitely had some skills.

Others wanted to step forward to help, but Xiang Yu refused. The opponents were experts, and sending Heavenly Dragon Gang’s brothers would only increase casualties.

The five people stood before Xiang Yu’s group, giving a quick glance before preparing to act.

“Stop!” Wu Jinlong suddenly shouted.

The five halted their steps, standing there, turning back to look at Wu Jinlong, puzzled by his sudden command.

At this moment, Wu Jinlong’s phone rang inconveniently. He glanced at it and walked aside.

“Hall Master, what are your orders?” Wu Jinlong spoke respectfully.

“Where are you now?” the person on the other end inquired.

“City No. 5, handling business here. Some companies refuse to cooperate, and I’m managing it,” Wu Jinlong replied.

“Is there someone named Xiang Yu among them?” the person asked.

Wu Jinlong paused, looked toward Xiang Yu, and nodded, “Correct, I’ve seen him, and he is right in front of me.”

“In front of you?” the person seemed slightly surprised and then said, “The higher-ups have ordered that if you encounter Xiang Yu, you mustn’t harm him, and you have to protect him.”

“What? Protect him?” Wu Jinlong was flabbergasted, hardly believing his ears.

Xiang Yu was merely a supporter of a local small enterprise; how could he alarm the higher-ups? Could he have another identity?noveldrama

“Hall Master, this Xiang Yu has gone too far. He beat our men right in front of me; this person can’t be forgiven,” Wu Jinlong argued.

“What, he attacked our men?” they exclaimed in surprise.

Wu Jinlong grunted and explained the events thoroughly.

“Are you saying this Xiang Yu broke Hong Lao Liu’s arm right in front of you?” The person spoke angrily.

“That’s right, I’m here now, and Xiang Yu’s group is right before me,” Wu Jinlong said.

“Damn,” the person cursed, clearly furious; when had Golden Hand Hall ever suffered such humiliation?

The person on the other end was Jin Zhengming, Hall Master of Golden Hand Hall, enraged by Wu Jinlong’s report.

Wu Jinlong held the phone in silence, waiting for the Hall Master’s command; with their support, Xiang Yu would surely meet his demise.

Eventually, a sigh came from the other end, followed by, “Set this matter aside for now. We don’t know his background, and since the higher-ups have ordered, it indicates he’s not ordinary.”

Wu Jinlong was surprised; he expected his Hall Master to order Xiang Yu’s capture and torment.

Yet now the opposite happened, which was odd.

“Hall Master…”

“Enough, follow the orders,” the person interrupted Wu Jinlong before he could finish, issuing direct commands.

Though Wu Jinlong was a Deputy Hall Master, his rank differed significantly from the Hall Master.

Golden Hand Hall only had one Hall Master but three Deputy Hall Masters, including Wu Jinlong.

Regarding this matter, Jin Zhengming, the Hall Master, was deeply angered; daring to attack his men was intolerable. Previously, he would’ve rushed over, but with elevated status came increased caution.

Though Wu Jinlong was resentful, having summoned the Dark Department, retreating now would tarnish his reputation among brothers.

But disobeying the Hall Master’s orders, capturing and beating Xiang Yu would bring serious consequences if discovered.

He’d lose his Deputy Hall Master position for sure, with others coveting it; he couldn’t afford errors now.

Wu Jinlong was furious, nearly vomiting blood, yet helplessly said, “You should leave now,” to the Dark Department.

The leader of the Dark Department froze; they were meant to remain concealed.

Only in dire situations would they emerge, and now they’d appeared, indicating urgency, so solving the present issue should have sufficed.

They couldn’t understand why the Deputy Hall Master suddenly reversed course.

The Dark Department was directly led by higher-level branches, akin to the local police station and government having no direct hierarchy, merely cooperation.

Wu Jinlong had exposed them and ordered their departure, angering them, losing calm composure…
