Because on the phone, she sounded nervous and uneasy, saying that someone wanted to see him at the Queen's Bar.
He hesitated for a moment, but decided to go anyway.
Some things you have to face eventually; you can't escape them once you start living in the world.
When Lin Dong arrived at the Queen's Bar, he was immediately recognized by the security personnel at the entrance.
A man who looked like a team leader stepped forward to greet him and respectfully led him upstairs to the second floor.
Lin Dong has long since become a legendary figure at Queen's Bar. The battle at the New Bridge propelled him to an unprecedented peak in the North District's underworld.
The title of "Number One Underworld Expert in Southern Metropolis" is not yet officially confirmed, but it is based on solid reasoning and evidence.
The fact that the top underworld expert came from the North District is a very proud and prestigious thing for those in the North District who are involved in organized crime or frequent gambling dens.
Lin Dong went up to the second floor of the bar and recognized Lu Changkong at first glance.
This person was very cold and disdainful towards me when I was with the Wan family.
"Lin Dong, sit here with me."
Yu Ziyun's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Dong go upstairs, and she waved and called out.
Lin Dong nodded and sat down next to Yu Ziyun without any hesitation.
Upon seeing this, a murderous glint flashed in Lu Changkong's cold eyes.
"Lin Dong, I am Lu Changkong. We've met before."
"I remember you, the beloved disciple of Elder Ghost Hand Mo. What, you're the one who came to see me tonight?"
Lin Dong stared at the indifferent man with a half-smile and asked.
"Yes, I have three things to tell you tonight."
"Oh? Three pieces, that's a lot?"
"I'm only responsible for the first task. The other two will be arranged by someone else. Have you heard of the 'Martial Arts Swordsmen Ranking'?"
"A list of martial arts masters? Never heard of it."
Lin Dong laughed and said, "What era are we living in? How can there still be such a cringeworthy list?"
"This list was jointly established by the largest forces in the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world) from various regions, and its history can be traced back to 130 years ago."
Lu Changkong ignored Lin Dong's reaction and explained in detail:
"The list is updated every January, selecting the 100 strongest underground figures in China. Those on the list cannot be over 40 years old. The list was released yesterday..."
"Am I on the list too?"
Lin Dong pursed his lips and asked curiously.
"Yes, you're on the list, Lin Dong, 23 years old, ranked 93rd on the [Jianghu Swordsmen Ranking], two places behind me."
Lu Changkong carefully observed Lin Dong's expression and, seeing that he did not react with any excitement, continued:
"This is the first time that two people have appeared on the list at the same time in Nandu. However, recently there have been rumors in the underworld that you, Lin Dong, are the number one expert in Nandu's underworld."
"So, what's the first thing you want from me? To fight me?"
Lin Dong frowned, seemingly guessing Lu Changkong's purpose.
Or rather, it was the intention of the Cloud Shadow Society or even the entire underground forces of Nandu.
"You guessed right, I was just thinking of having a fight with you."
