Chapter 180 Port Conflict, Childhood Sweethearts Reunited

Xu Hao, whose entire ear had been blasted out, lay on the ground, clutching his ear and rolling around in agony as blood seeped out.

Zeng Mingxue was also taken aback by Teng Wanlin's sudden action. Why would she suddenly launch an attack?!

Xu Hao's foul mouth isn't a new thing; they and Teng Wanlin both came from Gemstone Sea and had interacted several times.

During the previous gemstone event, Teng Wanlin was unhappy with Xu Hao, but she held back.

Teng Wanlin looked at Zeng Mingxue with a smile that carried a hint of sarcasm.

Do you really think everyone falls for the Dawn Squad's black-cop, white-cop, and good-cop routine? You're kidding. If it weren't for that big bastard Xiong Lian protecting that little bastard Xu Hao, he would have been killed countless times by now.

Every time Xu Hao caused trouble, Zeng Mingxue would step in to smooth things over, and Xiong Lian would then impose some minor punishments.

LOL, do you really think nobody can't tell?

As the saying goes, a dog emboldens a coward; now that she has her precious baby, why would she be afraid of them?

Once these bastards are out at sea, she'll let them taste the true power of the Eight Thousand Blades!

None of these people will escape; she'll show them what the aesthetics of a violent sniper rifle truly mean!

With a bang, my head exploded.

"Teng Wanlin, you've gone too far."

A cold male voice rang out from behind Teng Wanlin. She didn't need to turn around to know that it was Xiong Lian, that pretentious jerk.

"Too much?"

Teng Wanlin scoffed. She only ruined one of Xu Hao's ears, and he already thinks it's too much?

Xu Hao has done a lot of evil deeds outside by taking advantage of the Dawn Squad's name. Why didn't Xiong Lian say anything about it being too much back then?

Do you know what "excessive" means?

Teng Wanlin raised the Eight Thousand Fires in her hand and fired without hesitation at Xu Hao on the ground.

After a loud bang, blood exploded, leaving only a pool of minced meat on the ground.

"I'm sorry, this isn't excessive. Let me demonstrate it for you again."

Teng Wanlin laughed wildly, and this time, she directly pointed the gun at Xiong Lian.

Xu Hao is despicable, and Xiong Lian won't escape either.

Those two scumbags, Zeng Mingxue is also an accomplice, the entire Dawn Squad is a den of snakes and rats!

Teng Wanlin's eyes were slightly red, and the younger sisters and brothers beside her were also looking at the Dawn Squad with great disgust, wishing they could devour them alive.

They insisted on walking into the line of fire, so Teng Wanlin can't be blamed for that.

Xiong Lian frowned, a barely perceptible hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes.

Teng Wanlin, that mad dog.

"You killed Xu Hao right in front of us and you think that's going too far? Do you really think our Dawn Squad is a pushover?"

A man behind Xiong Lian raised his iron fist and immediately rushed towards Teng Wanlin, determined to teach this person who dared to provoke the Dawn Squad a lesson.

No matter how incompetent Xu Hao is, he is still the vice-captain of their Dawn Squad. They can handle any problems themselves; it's not Teng Wanlin's place to interfere.

If they don't kill Teng Wanlin today, where will their Dawn Squad put their face?

How could a woman possibly rebel against the heavens?

The man exuded an extremely fierce aura, but Teng Wanlin was no pushover either, and her men quickly responded.

Of course, it's not up to their boss to show her skills with this kind of stuff.

However, the survivors in Teng Wanlin's team were indeed significantly weaker than those in the Dawn Squad.

Otherwise, Teng Wanlin wouldn't have tolerated the Dawn Squad for so long before finally making her move.

Moreover, the Dawn Squad is very good at using underhanded tactics and launching sneak attacks from behind.

A crossbow silently aimed at Teng Wanlin, the tip of the arrow displaying a unique color.

It was poisoned.

"To launch a sneak attack from behind, that's hardly the act of a gentleman."

"Why can't we sit down and talk things over?"

"Harmony brings wealth."

The two sides faced off, and a chaotic battle was about to break out. Just as the atmosphere was tense, Chen Cheng and Chen Lin's group suddenly appeared at the port.

The archer on the high ground has been captured by Chen Miao.

"Remember to switch to a different sniper rifle next time."

Chen Miao easily took away the archer's crossbow, weighed it in his hand, and said calmly.

With the archer's skill and the power of that crossbow, even if it were poisoned, it wouldn't be able to kill Teng Wanlin.

Since your skills are so poor, don't try to take on such a difficult task. Just stick to using a gun.

"Who do you think you are, daring to interfere in our affairs!"

"Are you worthy?!"

Xu Hao's fate is clear, but the Dawn Squad members are used to running rampant and don't learn their lesson. They pointed at Chen Cheng's nose and started cursing.

Chen Cheng's smile remained unchanged, but those who knew her well knew that she was very angry.

Without uttering a sound, Chen Lin instantly appeared in front of that person and slapped him across the face several times!

The speed was so fast that even Xiong Lian didn't have time to react.

After being provoked time and time again, and even being slapped in the face, Xiong Lian, with his excellent self-control, could no longer hold back.

Chen Qing stood by the window watching the farce unfold outside. The incident was happening right in front of the mechanical ship; how could she not know about it?

It was just a conflict between Teng Wanlin and Xiong Lian. Even if they all died, it had nothing to do with Chen Qing, and it wasn't worth Chen Qing wasting his time on.

But now that Chen Cheng and her group have joined in, it's something Chen Qing should pay attention to.

Chen Lin was no match for Xiong Lian.

Chen Lin's extraordinary ability is spatial, which is particularly effective against those who are not good at close combat.

However, Xiong Lian's extraordinary ability... Chen Qing narrowed his eyes. Xiong Lian's extraordinary ability should be of the transformation type, animal type.

He excels in close combat, has extremely quick reflexes, and possesses a strong animal instinct.

Chen Lin is no match for Xiong Lian.

However, although Chen Lin won't get away with it in Xiong Lian, he certainly won't lose.

Behind Chen Lin is Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng hates losing the most. She's been suppressed by Chen Qing for over twenty years, and she can't even let a small-time hoodlum like Xiong Lian win.

The Dawn Squad excels at ambushes from behind, and Chen Cheng's methods are definitely no less sophisticated than theirs, perhaps even more so.

Chen Cheng is a man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

If Chen Qing has any bottom line, then Chen Cheng definitely has no bottom line at all.

They won't discover that Chen Cheng did something underhanded, and even if they did, they won't have any evidence.

Chen Qing watched coldly from the sidelines.

Sure enough, when Chen Lin was at a disadvantage against Xiong Lian, Chen Cheng made his move.

Just as Xiong Lian's claws were about to dig into Chen Lin's neck, a sudden gust of wind arose in the once calm harbor, whipping up sand and dust, and two sea beasts leaped out of the sea in a chase.

The sandstorm blinded him, and a large amount of seawater, carrying sand, stones, and sea monster bones, poured into the harbor, hitting Xiong Lian squarely on the spot.

Everything was such a coincidence, as if it were deliberately arranged by someone.

Chen Lin, who was about to be killed by Xiong Lian, suddenly turned the tables on Xiong Lian. Zeng Mingxue wanted to make a move, but was rooted to the spot by a look from Chen Cheng.

"..."

What's going on? That little girl looks so delicate and frail, why does she feel such intense fear towards her?

"You guys don't want to gang up on me, do you?"

Chen Cheng blinked her big eyes and looked innocently at Zeng Mingxue.

Chen Qing is one thing, but what kind of people are these trash who dare to pull such tricks in front of her?

"...How could that be?"

Zeng Mingxue forced a smile and said dryly.

The opposing team outnumbered them by a wide margin, yet Xiong Lian still lost. Now that she's been caught red-handed, Zeng Mingxue certainly wouldn't be so tactless.

But was the sea monster that suddenly appeared really an accident?

Zeng Mingxue felt that it wasn't true, but she had no evidence.

Sea creatures can be controlled by humans, and so can sandstorms, but they have no evidence.

If we fight, we can't beat them; if we try to reason with them, there's no logic to it.

Ultimately, it's all the fault of Xu Hao, who is already dead.

If it weren't for his sharp tongue, they wouldn't be in such a sorry state today.

The sudden appearance of sandstorms and sea monsters was not unexpected to anyone; it was simply too coincidental.

However, Chen Cheng and her team were certain that the survivors who joined later were not the ones responsible; they didn't have that ability.

Everyone knows a little about Gao Yue and the others' extraordinary abilities, but they have nothing to do with them.

Suspicious glances fell on Chen Cheng and her group, but quickly disappeared.

Even if it's them, the current situation is in their favor.

Chen Qing knows Chen Cheng very well; she was definitely involved in this.

I just don't know what Chen Cheng's extraordinary ability is.

Chen Qing was unable to identify it.

Xiong Lian was pinned to the ground by Chen Lin. He raised his head and looked at Chen Cheng, asking silently.

"Chen Lin, really! Hurry up and let them go. We're not some kind of bullies, right?"

At this moment, Chen Cheng once again stepped forward to play the good guy, and what she said was a slap in the face to the Dawn Squad.

But it's okay, this isn't the first time they've been proven wrong.

The members of the Dawn Squad were burning with rage, both angry and annoyed, yet they couldn't do anything about Chen Cheng.

This was the first time they had ever been so humiliated, but what could they do? Even their leader had been thoroughly humiliated.

Chen Lin obediently released Xiong Lian and stepped back behind Chen Cheng. Zeng Mingxue quickly stepped forward to help Xiong Lian up.

Having lost face, Xiong Lian's expression was extremely gloomy. He gripped Zeng Mingxue's arm so tightly that his nails almost dug into her flesh.

Zeng Mingxue winced in pain, but dared not say anything.

"Let's go."

With a dark expression, Xiong Lian dragged Zeng Mingxue away.

Chen Cheng didn't stop them, and even waved goodbye with a smile.

"Are you just going to let the tiger return to the mountain like this?"

Gao Yue glanced at Xiong Lian and the others, then looked back at Chen Cheng and asked.

Having come from the same orphanage and received the same education, just from the ruthlessness of Chen Lin and Chen Miao, it's clear that Chen Cheng is no ordinary person.

How could she let Xiong Lian and the others go?

"Tiger?"

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly. There might be a tiger among that group, but it was definitely not that idiot in the lead.

"Just keep it in mind."

Gao Yue only spoke up because of Chen Qing.

Since Chen Cheng herself wasn't worried, Gao Yue naturally wouldn't meddle anymore.

As for whether Xiong Lian and the others would hold a grudge against her, Gao Yue was actually quite looking forward to their arrival.

Gao Yue may not be able to defeat the likes of Demon Dragon Bai Xian, but compared to them, what is the Dawn Squad?

"Moon, they have extraordinary ships."

Qiao Zhiyu leaned closer to Gao Yue and whispered.

They knew about Chen Qing's auction of the extraordinary ship, but unfortunately they were short of money.

Selling them all would be affordable; I could afford to buy them.

But surely they wouldn't sell themselves for a super ship.

Upon hearing Qiao Zhiyu's words, Gao Yue and the others exchanged glances, confirming their suspicions.

A super ship worth nearly 200,000 goldfish—if you manage to snag one, you're saving 200,000 goldfish on the spot.

This is a golden opportunity...

"Let's go!"

"Please tell Chen Qing that we'll come to see her in a couple of days."

Gao Yue immediately turned around and left with her people!

The speed was so fast that it created afterimages.

Teng Wanlin overheard their conversation and immediately became anxious.

A super ship, who wouldn't want that!

Buying something is no skill; holding onto it is the real skill.

"Thank you so much for today. My name is Teng Wanlin. I'll definitely do it another day—"

"It's okay, you can go first if you have something urgent to do."

Chen Cheng said very considerately.

She naturally knew what they were going to do; they weren't the only ones eyeing the Dawn Squad's ship.

If they can't touch Chen Qing, then they can't touch the Dawn Squad?

Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant, let alone the fact that everyone's strength is not that different.

Chen Cheng wasn't interested in that ship; it was just a ship that Chen Qing had rejected.

Thank you!

Teng Wanlin nodded to Chen Cheng and immediately led her people to follow Gao Yue and the others. She was afraid that if she was even a step too late, this big piece of meat would be gone.

The once bustling port was soon left with only Chen Cheng and her few companions, along with the survivors that Chen Cheng had subdued.

From beginning to end, the conflict that occurred at the port of Rusty Island did not attract the attention of the Rose Family.

The machines watched from a distance, showing no intention of intervening.

"Lord Chen Qing invites you to go up."

A powerful rabbit hunter leaped off the ship and walked to Chen Cheng's side, speaking coldly.

Chen Cheng looked up with disdain, knowing that Chen Qing must be watching them.

That jerk is still so annoying.

Pretending to be dead.

"Can we go up together?"

The survivors following Chen Cheng asked in hushed tones.

A Class A super ship! You could brag about it for a lifetime, let alone go up for a visit or even just touch it!

A group of people were excited and looked at Chen Cheng with anticipation.

Chen Cheng coughed lightly. She really couldn't agree to that; she couldn't make Chen Qing's decision.

Thinking about this, Chen Cheng started cursing Chen Qing in her mind again.

You jerk! You jerk! You jerk!

"Yes, food is already prepared on board."

"A tour is out of the question," Explosive Rabbit Hunter replied coldly. "But we can treat them to a meal on board."

Chen Cheng and her team still need the help of these people if they want to take over Rust Island.

"Yay!!"

The survivors cheered and jumped for joy, extremely excited.

I didn't expect Boss Chen Qing to be so easy to talk to.

Chen Cheng pouted and followed the Explosive Fighter Rabbit onto the ship.

Chen Qing was already waiting for them in the reception room. Such a large ship certainly had more than one reception room; even if they had to tidy up temporarily, they could have set one up.

Therefore, only Chen Cheng and a few others met with Chen Qing.

Chen Cheng never bothered to pretend in front of Chen Qing. Upon entering the reception room, Chen Cheng crossed her arms and sat directly opposite Chen Qing.

"Tell me, what kind of help can you give us?"

Chen Cheng raised her chin, looking arrogant.

Compared to Chen Cheng's relaxed state, Chen Lin and Chen Miao were in a much worse state, completely lacking the calmness and confidence they displayed when facing others.
