Chapter 3 So what kind of person is he?
"Damn it, what is that guy Huo doing? How is he so accurate? Speed up the boat, I'm going to smash all his boats this time! I'll make sure he gets away!"
Among the pursuers, the fastest boat belonged to a hall master of the Filial Piety faction of the Number Gang, the most loyal and hardworking member of the Number Gang.
These kinds of things, which can't be done in the open, can only be left to our own people. There are quite a few patriots in Hong Kong now. Although they may not go back to their hometowns, they don't want anyone to harm their hometowns.
The number-sharing group already has a lot of rotten apples and rotten apples; if it gets any worse, things won't be easy for them.
For this kind of thing, you need to ask for funding from them. If there's money to be made, this kind of thing must be done by your inner circle. If you don't give your inner circle benefits, how can they follow you?
The boat belonging to the Number Gang was better than Boss Huo's boat; it sailed very fast, and the distance between the two boats was getting closer and closer.
On Boss Huo's side, aside from letting Zhang Guohao retaliate a few times, he stopped fighting back and simply ran away. The sea was too vast, so running away was not difficult.
Besides, Hong Kong Island and the mainland are not far apart, and the entanglement between the two sides will likely have to end soon due to external factors.
But today, things are clearly different. These bastards from the Number Gang are much better prepared this time. Just as Boss Huo's fleet had rounded the line, three more ships appeared, blocking the front of the fleet.
There's no escaping it now.
"Get ready to take them down!"
Boss Huo gritted his teeth, ordered the boats to slow down, and let his men stand firm in preparation for battle.
"Damn, we've lost big this time. We'll have to fight tooth and nail for just ten dollars!"
"Stop talking, get ready to fight. Getting back alive is the most important thing."
"Can we really get back alive? This is playing with our lives!"
The temporary workers, lured aboard the boat by the ten yuan, muttered under their breath as they gripped their weapons, ready to get to work.
Meanwhile, the old men under Boss Huo were much quieter. They had fought with the other side many times and were very familiar with each other, even having blood feuds. At this moment, one by one, they stared intently at the ship sailing in front of them, ready to strike at any moment and take down anyone who dared to board the ship.
Finally, the boats of the numbered gangs drew closer and closer, and under the bright moonlight, the two sides could clearly see each other's expressions.
"Go! Jump over and kill them!"
The gang leader waved his machete, urging his underlings to jump onto Boss Huo's boat.
This time, the Number Gang dispatched ten ships to surround Boss Huo. Apart from the ship that the Number Gang leader, Big Mouth Chen, was on, the remaining ships were not much bigger than Boss Huo's ship, and there were even two smaller ships than Boss Huo's ship. They were just newer and faster, which was enough to make things difficult.
Boss Huo's ship was carrying a lot of cargo, leaving little space and not many people. On the other hand, the Number Gang had dispatched ten ships, all packed with people, resulting in a huge difference in the number of people between the two sides.
It's at sea again, and unless you jump overboard to escape, it's bound to be a bloody battle. On the surface, it seems that Boss Huo is at a great disadvantage.
Watching his own people jump ship and start fighting, it looked quite spectacular, but Chen's big mouth twitched involuntarily a couple of times.
"What the hell is this fighting like? You jump up there, at least watch where you're jumping in! Jumping into the water?"
"And what about that thing you're holding? Is it a fire poker? Hit him!"
"Oh my god, you can't even jump over it, can't you just wait and drop the board? Ignore him, let him swim back!"
Less than two minutes later, Big Mouth Chen started cursing at his men, yelling, "What kind of beating is this?!"
Despite having the upper hand, their own men couldn't get to the top for a long time. Those who did manage to get to the top were pushed back into the sea like limp shrimps. Their own men couldn't tell whether they should save people or keep charging forward.
"Boss, have some water, calm down. It's not worth getting so angry. We outnumber them several times over. We can definitely take down these bastards. Don't worry, they're definitely not going anywhere."
The trusted henchman next to him quickly stepped forward and handed Da Kou Chen a small purple clay teapot, which contained a pot of fine tea.
"If this were back when I was working for Boss Dai, I would have already sent warships to bomb them. How dare they cause trouble right under my nose! I'd blow them to bits!"
"This perfectly good modern iron ship, and they've turned it into a boarding battle! What kind of nonsense is this?!"
"But you're right, they can't escape. This time, I've got them cornered!"
Big Mouth Chen took the teapot, took a sip of water, and boasted about how glorious his days were when he worked with Boss Dai, while firmly believing that he had Boss Huo under his thumb.
By this time, Boss Huo's three ships were completely surrounded, and the gunwales were covered in blood, which appeared somewhat black under the moonlight.
The three ships were also rocking and swaying on the sea due to the enemy's boarding maneuver. If nothing unexpected happened, Boss Huo would be in trouble today!
Boss Huo held a half-meter-long wooden stick in his hand and forcefully blocked the wooden stick of a gangster from the opposite side. Then he pushed the man into the sea. Taking advantage of this gap, he glanced at his ship. His old men were doing their best to block the cargo being transported and desperately protecting the goods.
Those temporary workers who boarded the boat for ten dollars also fought desperately against the thugs of the Number Gang. It wasn't that they were really that dedicated and would fight so hard after receiving the money, but that the Number Gang simply didn't want them to have an easy time.
When the fight started, two temporary workers tried to surrender, hoping to avoid a beating, but they were kicked into the sea by the gang members!
Whether we fight or not, we're going to die anyway. The seawater is so cold, and many of the temporary workers are from out of town and can't swim. They'll either freeze or drown if they go into the water. It's better to fight; maybe we can survive!
Despite their desperate efforts, the disparity in numbers prevented them from changing the course of the battle; the temporary stalemate did little to alter the outcome.
Until, Boss Huo saw Zhang Guohao's figure.
"Holy shit!"
Boss Huo swore again, his eyes wide with shock.
At this moment, Chen, who was sitting opposite, also noticed Zhang Guohao. He was still drinking water from the teapot in his hand when he saw Zhang Guohao, and the water flowed directly down the corner of his mouth.
"Is this even human?"
Big Mouth Chen looked at his underlings in disbelief, pointing in Zhang Guohao's direction.
"Is...right?"
I wanted to answer, but in the end I could only utter a question.
Zhang Guohao, who was originally on Boss Huo's boat, was now carrying his makeshift spiked club and had already charged over along the deck of the boat carrying the numbered gang!
The nails on the simple spiked club were dripping with liquid. On one of the nails, there was something that looked like an eyeball. Anyone who noticed Zhang Guohao was inevitably frightened and took two steps back. Two thugs from the Number Gang were so frightened by Zhang Guohao that they jumped off the plank into the sea and swam desperately outwards!
