Chapter 785 - 783: My Name Is Hao Tian
This time, Chen Tianlong didn’t plan to secretly observe but instead used another method.
Next to him was a restroom, and just then a young man ran over, clearly needing to use it. Chen Tianlong flashed a wicked smile and quickly followed him into the restroom.
Of course, Chen Tianlong didn’t have any peculiar hobbies; he just wanted to borrow the guy’s clothes.
Since Chen Tianlong entered, he noticed that everyone was in uniform, possibly as a precaution by Hao Shuai after previous infiltrations, to make it easier to spot outsiders and avoid hurting their own people.
After about five minutes, Chen Tianlong changed into the other guy’s outfit. Although it was a bit tight, it still fit him.
After leaving the restroom, Chen Tianlong swiftly entered the building. Due to his attire, people just glanced at him without thinking anything was amiss, allowing Chen Tianlong to quickly proceed upstairs.
"Wait a minute..."
Suddenly, a voice called out. This was from a guard on the second floor who, seeing the unfamiliar face of Chen Tianlong, hurriedly shouted at him.
"Talking to me?"
Chen Tianlong pointed at himself, looking somewhat baffled.
"What’s your name? I don’t recall seeing you." This guy apparently had some rank in the Flying Eagle Gang, like a squad leader. Seeing Chen Tianlong’s face, he felt it was somewhat familiar but couldn’t recognize him.
"My name is Hao Tian; I’m a distant relative of the Hao Family and just arrived yesterday. If there’s anything wrong, I ask for your forgiveness, big brother," Chen Tianlong calmly and brazenly fabricated.
"Hao... Hao Family?"
The squad leader tensed hearing the Hao surname because the boss of the Flying Eagle Gang was the Young Master of the Hao Family.
If he really was a relative of the Hao Family and the squad leader offended him, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?
"Yes, is there a problem? If you like, I can call Young Master Xu to explain to you..."
"Ah? No, no, that’s alright. Go ahead with your task."
The squad leader was taken aback, and involving Young Master Hao in such trivial matters could potentially lead to dire consequences for him.
He patted his chest, still shaken, and continued guarding the second floor. After all, it was the third floor where the important person was held, so he couldn’t be careless.
With the second floor secured, there’s still one hurdle on the third floor. Even if someone comes to rescue the person, there would surely be chaos on the second floor, giving them time to rally the brothers and immediately notify Young Master Xu.
"Alright, then I’m headed upstairs," Chen Tianlong said, turning to leave.
"Wait... what business do you have on the third floor? Don’t you know the third floor is now a restricted area? Didn’t Young Master Hao inform you?" The squad leader suddenly felt suspicious.
"Haha, Young Master Hao said my martial arts are pretty good and instructed me to guard the third floor." Chen Tianlong quickly responded, realizing the restricted area must be where Lin Batian was held.
"Your martial arts are good?"
The squad leader was stunned. Among his group of subordinates, few could beat him, yet this guy claimed to be good at martial arts, which the squad leader didn’t like especially since the nearby subordinates started talking.
"It’s alright; I can handle three or four of them," Chen Tianlong nonchalantly said.
"Hiss..."
The squad leader gasped, knowing there were few who dared claim they could take on three alone. Only some higher-ups in the Flying Eagle Gang might match such a boast.
"Really?"
"Yeah, he’s bluffing, right?"
"Exactly, exactly. Captain, why don’t you test him out? See if he can really take on three at once."
Hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, those around started to feel challenged and dropped their suspicions towards him.
"Alright everyone, quiet down. I’ll take him on then." The squad leader finally stepped into the ring, "Hao Tian, right? Come, let’s spar a few moves and go all out. Don’t say later that you didn’t use full force and that I won unfairly."
"Oh, okay. I’ll try, but I generally don’t go all out. I’m afraid I might hurt you," Chen Tianlong intentionally said.
"Damn, you sure know how to act. Alright, show me what you’ve got." The squad leader, slightly annoyed, didn’t wait for Chen Tianlong to speak further and threw a punch.
At that moment, Chen Tianlong lightly grabbed it, catching the opponent’s fist in his palm, then smiled, "Captain, put some strength in it, otherwise if I hurt you, it wouldn’t be good."
"Huh?"
The squad leader widened his eyes; he had put all his might into the punch, only for it to be easily caught. What on earth?
Could this guy really be a master, someone deliberately placed by Young Master Hao?
To further test it, the squad leader fiercely withdrew his hand and then used all his strength to kick towards Chen Tianlong’s abdomen.
The kick was impressively powerful and blindingly fast, not something average folks could manage.
Smack!
With a crisp sound, just as the squad leader’s leg shot out, it was slapped back by Chen Tianlong, and he felt a burning pain in his calf.
This confirmed it; this person was indeed no ordinary character.
"Everyone, three of you come over; let’s see if he can really take on four." Defeatedly frustrated, the squad leader waved over a few subordinates, not caring about losing face.
In no time, four people encircled Chen Tianlong, who merely smiled faintly, unfazed.
"Attack!"
On the squad leader’s command, the four punched towards Chen Tianlong. This assault would have been overwhelming for someone else, but this was Chen Tianlong.
"Clap, clap, clap, clap..."
With a series of slaps, Chen Tianlong was faster to strike back, delivering a swift right roundhouse kick, landing squarely on the faces of all four, making them scatter like blooming flowers, sprawling on the floor.
"Oops, sorry, looks like I went a bit too hard," Chen Tianlong scratched his head, pretending to apologize.
"Ouch, my face!"
"It hurts like hell!"
Humiliated, the squad leader lost his temper, "Alright, just get going, don’t delay your mission."
"Okay, my apologies, you guys. I’ll get going," said Chen Tianlong, ascending to the third floor with ease.
Meanwhile, those guys were cursing him under their breath, unaware that Chen Tianlong had already made a successful arrival on the third floor. Once there, things went smoothly; probably because, during the earlier fight, people on the third floor had noticed and sent someone down.
Hence, when Chen Tianlong ascended, everyone treated him like a leader, showering him with compliments: "This guy is impressive, even knocking the squad leader down, amazing!"
"Haha, you’re too kind. It’s just thanks to Young Master Hao’s discerning eye; otherwise, no one would notice me even if I were talented, right?" joked Chen Tianlong with the others, as he began surveying the area. There were eight people here in total, and they didn’t look particularly strong.
