Chapter 410 - Three Masters of the Supreme Power Realm (1/2)

“You can’t go with us.” Qin Haodong said, “After all that has happened tonight, the guards in Black Dragon Moutain must be on alert at this time, which makes the task even more difficult. It will be hard enough for us to save Liu Hankun. It will be even more difficult if you go with us.”

“Then…”

Li Zhong was just trying his best to help the two. After contemplation, he realized it was true that he would be their burden because he was weak and injured.

Qin Haodong said, “Why don’t you draw a map of the Black Dragon Moutain for us? We’ll save Liu Hankun out in three days.”

Li Zhong thought for a while and agreed. “Just a moment. I’ll do it now.”

He then took over the pen and drew a map of the Black Dragon Moutain and its vicinity. The map might look simple, but the basic terrain and geographical structure were shown clearly. He had even marked the spot of the cave.

He gave the map to Qin Haodong and said, “That’s all I know, and I don’t know what’s exactly there in the cave.”

“It’s OK.” Qin Haodong took the map and said, “We can no longer protect you because we’re leaving for the cave. We’ll send you out of the town and find you a place to hide. Contact us in three days.”

After they exchanged phone numbers, Qin Haodong closed the door of the clinic. Then he took Li Zhong with him and left the town. Later the two headed to the Black Dragon Moutain.

Black Dragon Moutain was not that far from here. It was about over ten miles away. Soon the two arrived at the spot marked by Li Zhong.

They stopped and hesitated for a while. Then Hu Xiaoxian said, “Can you really trust Li Zhong? What if he is a bait for us set by the Jade Gang?”

Qin Haodong said, “I’ve been thinking about that, but I don’t think that’s possible. I’ve applied Mind-manipulating Skills while talking to him. He was telling the truth.

“Therefore, I’m sure Liu Hankun isn’t dead yet, but somehow he has been imprisoned by Zhou Tianhu.”

Hu Xiaoxian considered it for a moment. Their trip to Burma was a secret, and Qin Haodong had changed his appearance. There was no way for the Jade Gang to know who they really were.

Qin Haodong added, “But no matter what it is, we should get well prepared because we know little about Zhou Tianhu.”

He said and took out the map Li Zhong made for them, pointing at a place near the Black Dragon Mountain. “We should do some recon on this place and maybe set an array as our way to escape in case of accidents.”

They two then left for Black Dragon Moutain. As they approached the destination, they saw a huge tent ahead. People in the tent cast their shadows on the tent. There might be dozens of them. They must be the guards sent by Zhou Tianhu to watch over the cave.

Near the tent, there was a cave. The mouth of the cave was about two meters across. There were six men carrying guns. Two of them were standing out in the open, while the other four were hiding in the dark.

Having figured out the situation, the two left the cave and explored the area near the Black Dragon Moutain.

Qin Haodong pointed at another mountain and said, “How about there? It looks like a nice spot to set an array.”

There was a cave at the foot of that mountain, too. The mouth of the cave was two meters across. It might be dozens of meters deep and looked very dry in there. The groud before the cave was wide and open. The cave seemed like a perfect place to hide.

Having chosen the spot, Qin Haodong took out formation flags and started to set the array. It had taken them more than one hour to finish working. Then he took Hu Xiaoxian back to the Black Dragon Moutain to check, waiting for an opportunity to act.

It was quite bright deep inside the cave of Black Dragon Mountain. The cave was about 100 meters deep and was wide inside.

At the end of the cave, some steel bars made a cell that covered about seven or eight square meters. Those bars were as thick as a kid’s arms, looking quite solid.

Inside the cell, a man was sitting on a shabby bed which was made from wood.

His thick beard and long hair blocked his face. It was hard to tell his age or his appearance, but he looked quite thin, probably 40 kilograms at top.

The man was lying on the bed, exhausted. He looked as if he had already died, if the beard didn’t shiver as he breathed.

“Dad, it’s me!”

A young man in his thirties came in as he greeted, with eight bodyguards behind him.

The young man was Zhou Tianhu, the current boss of the Jade Gang. The weak old man was Liu Hankun, the previous one who had been missing for a whole year. Everybody else thought he was dead, and few people knew that he had been imprisoned here.

Liu Hankun was in the bed, lying still.

Zhou Tianhu laughed. “Don’t play possum, Dad. I know you’re still breathing.”

Seeing that Liu Hankun still didn’t reply, Zhou Tianhu continued, “Dad, you’re going to die very soon. Why don’t you just tell me where’s the jadeite mine? You want to take that secret with you into the coffin?”

Finally, Liu Hankun moved a little. He managed to sit on the bed. Behind the thick hair on his forehead, his pallid eyes glanced at Zhou Tianhu who looked quite proud. Hatred and grudge took over his eyes immediately.

“You ungrateful beast. How could I have raised you!”

Zhou Tianhu laughed arrogantly. “Why would you say that, Dad? I’m now taking care of you, too. You’ve got drinks and food here, with ten more people at your service. What else do you want?”
