Still a Teenager?

Still a youth? Hearing his mother, the Zhao Clan, speak—

And seeing the expressions on his family's faces at that moment—

Lin Tian immediately gave a simple explanation of what had just happened.

"So Father, Mother, you don't need to worry too much. They won't come again."

However, after they finished listening to him—

Neither Father Lin's nor Mother Lin's face eased in the slightest. They were still just as worried as before.

Lin Tian knew what the two of them were worried about.

After all, to them, stability was what mattered. Chaos was almost the same as danger.

A trace of thought flashed through Lin Tian's eyes.

Indeed, this place could no longer be considered safe for him and his family.

Just like today—if he had not returned in time—

Those people might really have done something.

Perhaps it was time to consider settling his family somewhere else.

The next day, inside the inner courtyard of the martial hall.

Lin Tian was still the first to arrive in the inner courtyard, and he found a corner to practice boxing alone.

Just like that, another half month passed.

Today was Lin Tian's first time guarding the docks since taking up his post at the Shipping Bureau.

And one look at these docks was enough to tell that the watch would take an entire day.

Therefore, Lin Tian had taken leave for the day and had not gone to the Martial Academy.

At that moment, watching the figures moving about on the docks—

Lin Tian stood at the highest point, looking down from above in silence.

This was not difficult for him.

After all, as long as no one caused trouble here—

He only needed to watch like this.

And this place was an area under government jurisdiction.

Ordinary people would not dare step forward and cause trouble.

So to Lin Tian, this was even somewhat... leisurely?

But just then—

Lin Tian's eyes immediately caught sight of something that drew his attention.

No, not something. Or rather... someone?

That person seemed to be... from the Shark Gang?

Looking at the thin, frail figure below, Lin Tian immediately recognized him. Wasn't this the very person he had followed back then?

What did he want to do by appearing at these docks?

Cause trouble?

As his gaze gathered on the other party—

Lin Tian immediately discovered that the man had actually come to pick up goods?

Watching the other party carry packages large and small in his hands—

The confusion in Lin Tian's eyes deepened.

But before he could react—

In the next instant, he saw another group of people.

"The Black Axe Gang's people are here too?"

Below, behind that thin man's figure—

Several members of the Black Axe Gang were secretly tailing the Shark Gang member ahead of them.

Seeing this scene—

A trace of thought immediately flashed through Lin Tian's eyes.

The Black Axe Gang's people were following the Shark Gang's man?

Lin Tian suddenly recalled the discussions he had heard from those Outer Academy disciples not long ago.

They seemed to have been saying—

When the Black Axe Gang and the Shark Gang had clashed in a bloody fight—

The leader of the Shark Gang, seeing that the tide had turned against him, had immediately fled.

Right now, the people of the Black Axe Gang were searching everywhere for Ma Dalong, the leader of the Shark Gang.

For some reason...

After this information appeared in Lin Tian's mind...

The scattered fragments and memories in his mind kept linking together.

Suddenly, Lin Tian thought again of that hidden location.

Could it be that the leader of the Shark Gang was hiding down there?

When he thought of this...

Lin Tian's gaze sharpened.

To him, Ma Dalong was a hidden danger through and through.

After all, he was the one who had killed the other man's brother-in-law, Zhuang Qiang.

If the other party traced it back to him, it might bring unnecessary risks to him, or even to his family.

Though he liked to keep his head down and play it safe...

That still depended on the situation.

For something that truly touched his fundamental interests, there was no way he could avoid it or sit back and do nothing.

So Ma Dalong... could not be allowed to remain!

However, at this moment, he was only suspicious.

He still could not truly confirm that place was Ma Dalong's hiding spot.

If he acted rashly, he feared he would only beat the grass and startle the snake, and might even make the other party suspicious of him.

Looking at the people of the Black Axe Gang below...

As if something had occurred to him...

Lin Tian sat down again.

Heh, there was no rush. After all, wasn't the Shark Gang down there helping him search?

Ma Dalong's momentum was gone now.

Presumably, being found was only a matter of time.

When the time came, he might not even need to act personally; Ma Dalong would die at the hands of the Black Axe Gang.

As the sky gradually darkened...

Lin Tian's figure was already shuttling through the forest.

Yes, he had not gone home.

Because today, he had discovered...

After the Black Axe Gang followed the members of the Shark Gang...

The Black Axe Gang had immediately made quite a few major moves.

It was very likely that they had discovered Ma Dalong's hiding place.

So he had been closely watching the movements of the Black Axe Gang members the entire time.

And not far from where Lin Tian was...

In an instant, flames soared into the sky.

The massive blaze almost lit up the entire night.

In the place enveloped by firelight, large numbers of Black Axe Gang members quietly crouched down, hiding their figures.

Seeing this scene, Lin Tian knew his thinking was right.

The Black Axe Gang had indeed found Ma Dalong's hiding place.

He just did not know whether these people could kill Ma Dalong.

He had heard that when Ma Dalong escaped back then...

He had not suffered the slightest injury.

So at this moment, the other party was still in peak condition...

Just as Lin Tian was pondering...

Suddenly...

Boom!!

A tremendous explosion immediately came from the place where the flames soared into the sky.

The terrifying explosion instantly flipped over the grass and trees that had still been burning!

Immediately after, columns of thick smoke rose in the direction where the explosion had come from!

The instant that thick smoke appeared.

A figure immediately rushed out from the place where the explosion had originated.

Then, in a place no one could see, he immediately fled far away!

He then slipped into a stretch of mountain forest, his figure vanishing.

"Not good! It's Ma Dalong! Ma Dalong ran!! Chase him! Hurry, chase him!"

After entering the mountain forest, Ma Dalong kept fleeing!

He had no intention of stopping in the slightest.

After all, he knew very well that the moment he stopped, what awaited him would be...

But before he could finish that thought.

The next moment.

A figure immediately appeared in front of him.

Looking at this scene.

Ma Dalong was instantly stunned.

Clearly, he had not expected that there would actually be someone in this desolate wilderness??

But at this moment, he did not want to invite extra trouble.

So he planned to avoid the youth in front of him.

But the next moment, before he could react.

The youth before him had already rushed right up to him.

That youth immediately threw an utterly ordinary punch at him.

Seeing this scene.

A fierce light flashed through Ma Dalong's eyes.

Such guts!! He was the grand and dignified leader of the Shark Gang, Ma Dalong.

He had not even gone to make trouble for the other party.

And now the other party was actually the one attacking him first?

Without the slightest hesitation, Ma Dalong directly met it with a punch.

The two fists collided in an instant.

But in that single instant, panic and fear immediately appeared in Ma Dalong's eyes!!

Dark Force!!
