The magician looked rather disheveled, his suit torn in a few places and appearing to have sustained some injuries.
"What happened to you?" Chen Fan asked, frowning.
"The Blood God Hall suddenly dispatched a large number of people and targeted me!" the magician said in a deep voice. "If I hadn't reacted quickly, I might have been captured."
"Where was this?" Chen Fan inquired.
"Right outside Jiang Tiansheng's villa," the magician said, taking a deep breath. "They seem to be preparing to make a move on Jiang Tiansheng."
"Tonight?" Chen Fan asked.
"Probably not," the magician shook his head. "I alerted them, and Jiang Tiansheng's men are also on guard. Besides, although the Blood God Hall has many people, Jiang Tiansheng's security is also very tight!"
Chen Fan frowned.
It seemed that after Su Yuhua's commercial tactics failed, he was resorting to a more direct and brutal approach.
After a moment's thought, he still decided to call Jiang Tiansheng to warn him to be careful.
After the call, Chen Fan looked at the magician again. "Have you confirmed Blood Thorn's whereabouts?"
The magician shook his head. "Since we captured Blood Wolf, the Blood God Hall people have been very cautious. They haven't shown themselves for a long time, until today when they suddenly appeared again."
"These people do have some background. I've followed them a few times, but I haven't found their hideout."
Chen Fan pondered for a moment, then decided to suppress his urge to act personally for the time being.
With the magician's interference, the Blood God Hall had likely withdrawn from Jiang Tiansheng's location. If he tried to act now, he might not even be able to catch Blood Thorn.
After all, Dark Night had left traces in Hang Jiang, and the Blood God Hall people wouldn't be unaware.
As a foreigner, the magician also faced many inconveniences.
"Alright, you go back and rest. Be careful," Chen Fan instructed. "Since the Blood God Hall intends to act, have Jiang Tiansheng cooperate with you. Let's see if you can achieve anything."
The magician replied, "Understood, my King."
The night passed without incident.
The next morning.
The Liangjiang Chamber of Commerce was deserted.
Su Yuhua packed some things, preparing to leave.
"Sir, you can't go in, you can't go in!"
The office door was pushed open, and a figure strode in.
"Mr. Su..." the secretary said with self-reproach.
Su Yuhua looked at the newcomer and was slightly taken aback.
The man was over fifty, with a calm demeanor, clearly not an ordinary person.
"Mr. Su, my surname is Xu, and my name is Xu Yunhou!"
Su Yuhua paused, gestured for the secretary to leave, but still extended his hand, saying, "Hello!"
Glancing at Su Yuhua's outstretched hand, Xu Yunhou showed no intention of shaking it.
He acted as if he were superior, looking down at Su Yuhua, which made Su Yuhua extremely uncomfortable.
"Mr. Su, I've come to give you a piece of information. Chen Fan, also known as Mr. Long in your circles, will be fighting someone at Liuyun Dojo tomorrow night around eight o'clock!" Xu Yunhou stated calmly.
Su Yuhua was stunned.
His first reaction to this news was disbelief.
Not because fighting was rare in this era, but because of Chen Fan's status. As a business legend and a titan, why would he engage in such a fight?
However, on second thought, Chen Fan was known for his formidable martial arts skills and his association with Dark Night, so it wasn't entirely impossible for him to participate in a fight.
After all, hadn't he even taken bullets himself before?
"I don't understand, what do you mean, Mr. Xu?"
Xu Yunhou said faintly, "I'm just reminding you, Mr. Su, that if you plan to make any moves, this is a good opportunity. Chen Fan's opponent is a martial arts master, a master beyond ordinary comprehension."
"I hope you make good use of this, I'll take my leave."
After saying this, Xu Yunhou left without any further delay.
This again left Su Yuhua bewildered. He hastily asked, "Mr. Xu, do you have a grudge against Chen Fan?"
Xu Yunhou paused, then replied dismissively, "It's best not to inquire about things you shouldn't, Mr. Su."
Su Yuhua was not angered. He eagerly asked, "Then, what is the nature of this fight? Will it be to the death?"
"Theoretically, it is to the death," Xu Yunhou answered him this time. "But what the actual situation will be, no one can say for sure!"
With that, he strode away.
Su Yuhua sat in his seat, processing the information.
A martial arts master, a fight to the death?
He certainly knew about martial arts. Among the Siamese people he had brought with him, many were trained in Muay Thai.
There were even rumors in Siam that Muay Thai had ancient and modern forms, with ancient Muay Thai being particularly ferocious. It was said that a trained practitioner could kill a bull with a single punch.
Why was Chen Fan fighting a martial arts master?
He took out his phone and made a call.
In this regard, his influence was not as great as that of the local influential families, so he had to rely on those families to gather information.
While waiting for a response, he couldn't help but pace in his office.
The best outcome for him would naturally be for Chen Fan to be killed by his opponent. That would solve everything, and he would only need to search for the Dragon Pattern Compass left behind by Chen Fan.
Without Chen Fan, Jiang Tiansheng's Shengshi Group would also become insignificant.
However, his reason told him that since Chen Fan dared to agree to fight a martial arts master, he himself might also be a martial arts master.
This would explain why he survived being shot six times and was still alive despite being targeted by numerous underworld forces.
According to Blood Thorn, those sent by the Blood Church's Storm Knights and the Crimson Wings to China to seize the Dragon Pattern Compass had all disappeared.
This was also why, since returning to Hang Jiang, he had only engaged in commercial activities and suppressed the Blood God Hall's attempts to attack Chen Fan!
*Ring, ring...*
His phone vibrated.
"Mr. Su, I've found out!"
From the other end of the line came Zhou Mingfeng's voice.
"The information is accurate. There is indeed a fight at Liuyun Dojo tomorrow night. However, the news is only known to the core disciples of the dojo and has not been widely spread!"
"As for whether Chen Fan is one of the fighters, we haven't been able to confirm," Zhou Mingfeng said. "If it really is that Chen Fan, it is quite incredible."
"Someone told me it was him. I want to enter the dojo to watch the fight. I hope Patriarch Zhou can help me find a way!"
After hanging up, Su Yuhua pondered for a moment, then left the chamber of commerce and went to the Emperor Club.
"You mean, we'll make our move tomorrow night?" Blood Thorn asked.
"Our true target has always been Chen Fan, and the item is in his hands," Su Yuhua said. "Don't you have a theory that he might be the Lord of Dark Night?"
"Currently, the possibility has become very high!" Blood Thorn replied.
"Then this is the best opportunity," Su Yuhua said. "If Chen Fan loses the fight, that would be best. If he wins, we'll make our move after he leaves the dojo!"
"This time, it must be a thunderous strike, leaving him no chance to survive!"
Blood Thorn narrowed his eyes and said, "If he is the Lord of Dark Night, then he is indeed worthy of our serious attention. Then tomorrow night, we will make the Lord of Dark Night a footnote in history!"
