57 Chapter 57: Friend or Foe?
Link pursed his lips.
Old crane had been famous on the forums in his previous life, and was known as ‘the white-bearded man in destiny’.
When he met a young man with extraordinary strength, he would say, ” ” you’re awesome. be my son! ”
Many players had been taken advantage of by this old man, but they didn’t expect it to be their turn today.
however, you are now wanted by Platinum Hotel. With a 200000 Yuan reward, I can’t protect you with my old bones.
With that, link felt that the old Crane’s entire aura had turned dark.
The soft orange light of the setting sun shone on old Crane’s glasses, making him look like a skeleton in a grave.
Old crane had concealed all his aura. He was like a Hunter hiding in the forest, waiting for his prey to be careless before striking at lightning speed.
Link’s back was drenched in cold sweat.
He used detection on old crane and saw some data.

Link’s expression was grim. This would be the toughest battle he’d faced since his rebirth!
There was one level 20+(elite), eleven level 10+(elite), and hundreds of Level 5 minions.
There was almost no hope for this battle!
Lin Ke looked at his watch.
There were only five minutes left before the bounty contract was lifted.
Link observed his surroundings and thought, ” If he was determined to run, he would definitely be able to escape with the protection of the sand Eagle, the arm shield to absorb the fire, the throat crusher and the poison-smeared flying knife to break his defense.
But if he ran away, Fu would be caught in the center of the vortex.
He would definitely become the target of the anger of the people of White Crane Hall.
Although link knew the way to resurrect NPCs, this was definitely the last resort.
link’s brain was working at full speed, trying to think of a way to escape.
He already had an immature idea, but it was worth trying.
Time passed quickly. There was not much time left for link.
“why do you have to keep looking at the time? you can’t escape, no matter how much you struggle, it’s useless.” One of the thirteen gangsters said.
Just as the thirteen gangsters finished speaking, a mocking voice suddenly came from behind them.
“Wow, old crane, you’re putting on a big show on the street instead of the White Crane Hall?”
“The White Crane Hall is working here. Who Do You Think You Are to criticize my foster father?” The tycoon who had just spoken immediately retaliated.
“Hehe, I’ve long heard of the loyalty of the thirteen guardians under you, old crane. They truly live up to their reputation.”
At this moment, all the hatchet men of White Crane Hall at the outermost perimeter turned around, and a burst of exclamations came from the crowd,”The Xuanwu Hall is here!”
Hearing the name of the Black Tortoise Hall, the 13 gangsters turned around in shock.
Holding his scepter with both hands, old crane pursed his lips.
Link’s brows relaxed.
The situation had changed.
The Xuanwu Hall was one of the six branches of the water transportation gang, which was on par with the White Crane Hall.
The two had never been on good terms.
This time, the Xuanwu Hall had come to take the credit, so he had the opportunity to escape in the chaos.
What link had to do now was to wait and see.
“Yo, it looks like everyone is here?”
The leader was a skinny old man. His body was slightly hunched, his hands were behind his back, and his front teeth were missing.
He was wearing a white vest and an ordinary t-shirt underneath.
It was a stark contrast to old Crane’s luxurious appearance.
Whether it was the minions of White Crane Hall or the 13 gangsters, they all stepped back and made way for the old man. They lowered their heads and called him ” old turtle “.
In other places, more people from the Black Tortoise Hall appeared from the corner of the street and surrounded the people from the White Crane Hall.
Behind old turtle, there were also four young people.
Looking at their movements, they were all well-trained martial artists.
Link quickly scanned it with detection.
Elder turtle of the Xuanwu Hall was a level 21 elite, and the four disciples behind him were also level 10 elite.
The four young men also brought a stool over.
Compared to elder he’s luxurious mahogany bench, the creaking old bench under old turtle’s butt looked more like it had been pulled out of an abandoned house.
“Old crane, it’s not always better to have more sons! Other than martial arts, you should teach them how to be human. otherwise, if you don’t teach him, someone else will. at that time, it won’t be as simple as just a slap.”
old crane’s face darkened. he snorted. eleven, slap your mouth and apologize to old turtle.
The arrogant eleventh Guardian now walked to old turtle with his tail between his legs.
She lowered her head, reached out her hand, and started slapping her own face.
he only stopped when his face was swollen and blood was flowing out of his nose and mouth.
I didn’t know it was old turtle. Please forgive me for my rudeness!
Old turtle chuckled and waved his hand, indicating that he could get lost.
“Wu Sansi, what do you mean by this?” Old crane pointed his scepter at the hatchet men of the Black Tortoise Hall who had surrounded them.
With one foot on the edge of the chair, old turtle dug his nose with the other hand and said, ” “That’s what you see!”
“So you’re obviously going against me and want to steal my head?”
Old turtle flicked the big booger he had dug out away, then rubbed his nose and said, ” “No, no! Do you think I’m someone who needs 200000?”
“Then what do you mean by that?”
The turtle elder shot up from his stool and looked link up and down.
look at this kid. He’s neither haughty nor humble in the face of such a deadly situation. There’s no fear in his eyes.
Old turtle suddenly turned his head and said,”I heard he’s the boss of your Jack gang?” For 200,000, you’re so cruel to your own gang. This is too disappointing!”
Old Crane’s face twitched visibly. He rose to his feet and cursed,”You old bastard, if you have something to say, say it. Don’t be so sarcastic!”
The wrinkles on old turtle’s face almost looked like a thousand-layered cake. “Hehe, you finally can’t take it anymore? Can’t pretend anymore? ‘Damn it, he’s just a Porter at the dock. He got lucky and picked up a secret manual to get to where he is today!’ Look at you now, you’re wearing a mahogany and gold-threaded Tang suit. Those who know you might recognize it as a mahogany bench, but those who can’t would think that this is a coffin made for your mother.”
Old Crane’s face was red, and the people of White Crane Hall behind him were holding their breaths.
Link stood in the middle of the arena, dumbfounded.
In his previous life, he had heard the players on the forum say that this turtle old Wu had thought twice and was Zuan language level 8.
Seeing it today, it indeed lived up to its reputation.
“Old bastard, you’re here today to find trouble, aren’t you?”
Old turtle also rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was going to fight, ” “Then I’ll also tell you clearly that I’ll definitely protect this kid today!”
As soon as these words came out, the entire place fell silent.
Even link was stunned.
This old man, we’re not related to each other, isn’t this a little inappropriate?
link glanced at the four young men behind the turtle old man and thought, ” Could it be that he was also a professional in taking in sons?
“Wu Sansi, this man killed two of my foster sons. I’m here to take revenge. I can settle our grudges in any way I want, but if you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll really hit you. By then, even if Green Dragon’s boss finds out about this, I’ll still have a reason for it!” Old crane rose to his feet.
“he tongyan, your revenge is a big deal, but my gratitude is a small deal? Young master, you’re acting noble in front of me!”
“This kid! However, the artist had personally selected her to enter The Platinum Hotel. The painter had saved my life when I was still a boatman. He’s always so elusive. Since the painter thinks highly of this kid, I’ll definitely save him!” The turtle elder said firmly.
“Wu Sansi, you’d better think this through. He has a 200000 Yuan bounty on his head. Do you think you can handle that? When I get back, I’ll write you a report in front of the boss of Green Dragon, saying that you’re abusing your position for personal gain and bringing hidden dangers to my water transportation business!”
Old turtle put his hands behind his back and stood there arrogantly, unmoved.
Renaissance. If a fight breaks out later, don’t hold back. Beat him up. I’ll take responsibility for everything!
“yes, sir!”
The four sons behind him took a step forward in unison, their killing intent obvious!
The 13 gangsters of White Crane Hall were not to be outdone. They immediately glared back at him.
The shooters from both sides also pulled out their guns, waiting for the order.
the atmosphere suddenly became so tense that one could hear a pin drop.
As the confrontation continued, time passed by.
link’s bounty contract was officially lifted!
Old Crane’s face was livid. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth.”let’s see if you can protect him forever!”
“Let’s go!”
At old Crane’s command, the 13 tycoons of White Crane Hall carried the mahogany bench on their shoulders and left in a mighty formation.
Old turtle glanced at he tongyan, who had been defeated, then grinned.
He won again.
Old turtle walked towards link with his hands behind his back.
But to his surprise, link suddenly took out the desert Eagle and pointed it at old turtle.
“If you have anything to say, just stand there. There’s no need to get too close.”
To be honest, link was still on guard.
On the surface, it did seem like elder GUI had driven elder he and white Crane Hall away.
However, he couldn’t completely believe what the other party said. Who knew if they were putting on a show to lower his guard?
“Link, what are you doing?!”
you ungrateful bastard! Foster father helped you out of your predicament, but you pointed a gun at him!
“Bastard!”
the four renaissance men’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. they looked like they wanted to skin link alive.
On the other hand, old turtle stroked his white beard and nodded in satisfaction, ” “I’m relieved to have such vigilance.”
“I can only protect you this once. You have to walk the rest of the path on your own.”
After saying that, old turtle waved his hand to signal the people of the Xuanwu Hall to retreat.
The streets that had been filled with people were now only left with link and Ah Fu in the car.
[ you have triggered the c-level mission [ gold reward ]. ]
[ mission hint: Platinum hotel’s 200000 gold-level bounty contract is officially in effect. From now on, you will face assassins, bounty hunters, and forces at any time. ] Your only goal is to survive! ]
[ mission reward: a dynamic assessment based on each wave of action ]
“Boss, we … Survived?” Ah Fu’s face was full of surprise.
the dense crowd of people just now had instantly disappeared without a trace.
no, it’s the opposite. The real danger has just begun. link looked at the end of the setting sun meaningfully.
