Chapter 478 I never gave up, what do you think will happen now
The killers who heard about the bounty came to Lian Haolong like sharks smelling blood.
Lian Haolong's attention was particularly drawn to a killer named Yan Fei. Slender and with a scar on his face, Yan Fei was not only exceptionally skilled but also highly regarded in the black market.
Yan Fei leaned against the door frame and said lightly: "I can kill Huo Han, but can you afford my price?"
Lian Haolong slapped the table and said with a fake confidence, "As long as you can kill Huo Han, money is not a problem."
Yan Fei chuckled, "I'll take half of the commission first, and then take the rest after the task is completed."
Lian Haolong knew in his heart that he didn't have enough money to pay the full commission, but he still pretended to be calm and took out a pile of gold. "This is the advance payment. When the task is completed, I will give you double it."
Yan Fei nodded slightly and took the gold coins. He knew Lian Haolong's current situation, but he didn't intend to delve into it. He just wanted to complete the task and take the commission.
At the same time, Huo Han had anticipated that Lian Haolong would not let him go easily, so he secretly sent his own spies to explore the black market. Soon, the reward offered by Lian Haolong was reported.
Huo Han frowned, knowing that he had to be more vigilant and speed up the plan to find a substitute.
In a small, shabby room, Huo Han met another man who bore a striking resemblance to him. This man's name was Sha Feng, a black market thug known for his ferocity and ruthlessness. He was thin, but every movement exuded a sharp edge.
"I heard that you want to be my substitute?" Huo Han raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Sha Feng with a scrutinizing gaze.
Sha Feng sat down calmly, smiled and said, "As long as the money is in place, I can do anything."
Huo Han nodded: "Aren't you afraid of those killers who want to kill me?"
Sha Feng pursed his lips and sneered, "Master Huo, I, Sha Feng, have been in this black market for so many years. I have seen all kinds of storms. As long as I have enough money, I am not afraid of death."
Looking at such a confident stand-in, Huo Han smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Then let's make a deal."
Huo Han gave all his clothes, jewelry and other belongings to Sha Feng, and told him in detail about his daily habits and behavior to avoid being discovered.
Sha Feng quickly turned into Huo Han's appearance. When he stood in front of the mirror, it was almost impossible to tell which was real and which was fake.
…………
At the same time, Yan Fei and Lian Haolong were discussing their next plans in a shabby tavern.
"Huo Han's substitute has appeared. Can you tell it apart?" Lian Haolong asked in a low voice.
Yan Fei frowned slightly. "Only by close contact can we possibly distinguish them. But this also provides us with an opportunity. If we can inflict a fatal blow to Huo Han when they are handing over, then..."
Lian Haolong immediately understood and smiled slyly, "Then Huo Han is doomed."
As night falls, Sha Feng acts as Huo Han, handling Huo Han's daily gang affairs, while the real Huo Han stays secretly in a secluded courtyard, observing the situation outside.
Yan Fei was lurking in the dark. He saw Sha Feng, but did not attack immediately because he knew Huo Han should not be far away.
Suddenly, a sharp flying knife shot straight towards Sha Feng. Sha Feng just dodged it, but it revealed that he was not Huo Han.
Yan Fei's eyes flashed, and he immediately realized that the real Huo Han was nearby.
Under the dim streetlights, Lian Haolong stood in a dark corner of the black market, holding a photograph. The man in the photo was Huo Han, his eagle-like eyes a stark contrast to his current expression. His eyes were filled with deep resentment.
Two killers with ferocious faces walked up to Lian Haolong, took the photo, took a look at it, and then said calmly, "Are you sure it's him?"
Lian Haolong nodded coldly: "As long as you kill him, everything I have will be yours."
Huo Han's stand-in, Sha Feng, was standing at the entrance of a tavern, sporting a cold smile similar to Huo Han's, completely unaware of the danger he faced.
For the reward, Sha Feng took on this dangerous "job." He perfectly portrayed Huo Han, using his words, actions, voice, and habits to handle everything. The assassins hid in the crowd, constantly aiming at Sha Feng, waiting for the perfect opportunity.
As the night deepened, Huo Han sat in a secluded courtyard, looking out the window at the scenery. His face showed no worry, for he believed his choice was the right one.
Sha Feng walked out of the tavern, and the killer Yan Fei followed closely behind him. Taking advantage of the cover of the night, he stabbed Sha Feng with a knife. Sha Feng only felt a sharp pain, and then fell on the cold and hard stone road.
The killer Yan Fei quickly left the scene and brought Sha Feng's body back to Lian Haolong's lair.
Looking at Sha Feng's body, Lian Haolong smiled smugly, as if all the problems had been solved by him.
Killer Yan Fei looked at Lian Haolong and said calmly, "Are you sure this is Huo Han?"
Lian Haolong glanced at Sha Feng's body and nodded firmly: "I'm sure."
Killer Yan Fei stared at Lian Haolong coldly: "You'd better not regret it. We don't mind doing one more job."
Lian Haolong's heart tightened. He knew the methods of these two killers. If he really betrayed them, his ending would not be much better than Huo Han's.
"I am a man of my words. As long as you complete the task, I will never regret it." Lian Haolong took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.
Killer Yan Fei glanced at Lian Haolong, transferred the remaining funds to his card, and then turned and left. Lian Haolong stood there, feeling a little uneasy.
Far away in a safe place, Huo Han received the news of Sha Feng's murder. He was silent for a long time. He knew that all this was his own choice, and he had to make such a choice for his own survival.
He took a deep breath and looked out the window with a determined gaze: "Lian Haolong, you think you can kill me like this? Just wait and see."
In the shadow of the night, Lian Haolong stared at Sha Feng's body quietly.
Although his face looked identical to Huo Han's, something felt off. Was it his eyes? Or were the wounds on his body different from Huo Han's? Perhaps it was just an illusion caused by his excessive nervousness.
He waved his hand, dismissing the remaining gang members, and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. "Yes, this must be Huo Han!" He secretly convinced himself that his intuition was correct.
Lian Haolong hurried back to the gang's headquarters, wanting to inform his brothers in the gang of Huo Han's death as soon as possible.
He strode into the meeting hall. Everyone looked at him, their eyes filled with anticipation. "Huo Han is dead!" he announced loudly.
But just as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the meeting hall suddenly became strange. From the corner of the hall, a low laugh could be heard. As time passed, the laughter gradually grew louder until it became a roar of laughter.
Lian Haolong's eyes showed confusion and fear. He turned to look at the noise, only to see that those who were originally supporters of Huo Han all had mocking and playful smiles on their faces.
A man in a black robe stepped out. It was Huo Han's right-hand man, Aqiu. "Do you really think that's Master Huo Han?" he asked sarcastically.
Lian Haolong was stunned. A look of confusion and fear appeared in his eyes as he stared at Aqiu. Aqiu continued, "You only killed a substitute. The real Lord Huo Han is still with us."
Lian Haolong's face showed an expression of shock and despair. He widened his eyes and asked in a trembling voice: "Then I... I still have to pay them..."
Aqiu laughed: "That's just your own stupidity. Lord Huo Han had already foreseen that you would do this, so he found a substitute to disrupt the situation." The anger in Lian Haolong's heart was instantly replaced by fear. He knew that he was being played around, and this time, there might really be no turning point.
Huo Han slowly emerged from the shadows, glaring coldly at Lian Haolong. His movements were as agile as a cheetah, and his eyes gleamed with a cold light. Before Lian Haolong could even react, Huo Han had already rushed forward and struck him hard in the chest with a palm strike.
Lian Haolong hadn't anticipated Huo Han's sudden appearance, let alone his sudden attack. He was completely unprepared. He fell backward, slumping heavily onto the cold stone floor, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Inside the meeting hall, all eyes were focused on this sudden scene. Huo Han's supporters all smiled triumphantly, while Lian Haolong's supporters looked horrified. No one had expected such a sudden turn of events.
Huo Han stood beside Lian Haolong and looked at him with contempt. "Lian Haolong, do you really think you can get rid of me so easily?"
Lian Haolong struggled to get up, but his injuries were too severe, and his body seemed to be out of his control. Every movement brought him severe pain, but he refused to bow his head. He raised his head with difficulty and stared at Huo Han, his eyes filled with hatred and resentment.
"Huo Han...you...what are you so proud of?" Lian Haolong said with a cough, and every word seemed to take up all his strength.
Huo Han smiled slightly and looked down at him condescendingly: "Proud? I just did what I should do. Your fate is controlled by me."
Lian Haolong was shaking with anger, and he used all his strength to support his body. Although he knew that he was no match for Huo Han at the moment, his pride and dignity would not allow him to surrender like this.
The two were roughly equal in strength, but Lian Haolong was clearly at a disadvantage due to Huo Han's sudden attack and previous injuries. However, he remained steadfast, gritting his teeth and standing up to confront Huo Han.
Huo Han shook his head slightly, as if he thought Lian Haolong's behavior was unnecessary: "Do you still want to struggle?"
Lian Haolong sneered: "I have never given up. What do you think will happen now?"
The confrontation between the two men captured everyone's attention, and the atmosphere in the hall grew tense. Although Huo Han's strength surpassed Lian Haolong's, Lian Haolong's resolve was not to be underestimated. This confrontation epitomized the long-running duel between the two men.
Huo Han suddenly launched an attack, disappearing in an instant before reappearing behind Lian Haolong. But Lian Haolong was no pushover, responding with astonishing speed. A fierce duel ensued between the two.
