Regal Guard of Dragon novel Chapter 168

"Lord Han is polite. I'm just a junior, how dare I talk about myself in front of you." Bates Zhang arched his hands and smiled humbly.

Although he was the heir to Zhang's Family and his status and position were much higher than people like Thad Gu and Lowe Han. They had risen from the ranks of the ordinary. However, he would not be arrogant or self-important in front of Lowe.

He knew that if he were put in the same position as Thad and Lowe, he probably wouldn't do any better than these two.

They had been able to fight their way from a small punk to the current king of the City C underground world. So they had their unique skills.

It was only a person like Finn Chen who could subdue the two of them.

If anyone else wanted to subdue two kings of the underground world simultaneously, it would be daydreaming!

Since the three of them all knew each other, it was just as well that Finn didn't need to be introduced.

"How many other forces are there in City C now that can compete with you?" Finn cut to the chase. Although City C was only a prefecture-level city, the situation was complicated. Thad and Lowe only controlled the western and eastern districts, while other forces controlled the northern and southern districts. In addition to these underground forces, there were also quite a few powerful families, just like Shen's Family.

These forces he had to integrate one by one this time.

Firstly, it was to resist Chen's Family.

Secondly...

He was worried that if he had to leave City C one day in the future, then Maura Shawn would also have a place to stay.

After all, Maura's relationship with Shawn's Family wasn't good now, and if one day he wasn't in City C, the Shawn's would suppress her.

But if Maura had people like Lowe and Thad behind her, it was not certain who would be suppressed.

Hearing his words, the three of them all understood Finn's intentions. Even the always careless Thad had probably guessed it.

"Master Chen. Although City C is not large, the forces are intricate."

"Currently, the underground forces that can compete with us have Dennis Luo in the northern district and Hertha Ye in the southern district. Other than these two, the others are all minor figures and not enough to be feared."

"As for the family power, Shen's Family is currently recognized as the number one in City C. However, as far as we know, Li's Family is as powerful as the Shen's. Since the current city's top man, Secretary Li, is a member of the Li's. So in some ways, the Li's is acting even stronger than the Shen's." Lowe said in a deep voice.

At any time, those in power had more say than those in wealth.

Finn nodded his head and was about to speak. At that moment, Bates smiled, "Master Chen. Dennis of the northern district is a member of Zhang's Family."

Dennis was a member of Zhang's?!

Finn was somewhat surprised, Dennis was an underground emperor who was on par with Thad and Lowe. Unexpectedly, he was a member of Zhang's.

Thad and Lowe were also a bit startled. It seemed that Zhang's family was much more powerful than they had imagined. Even a big figure like Dennis was a member of the Zhang family.

But Zhang's Family's stuff was also Finn's.

Dennis could almost be considered Finn's subordinate as well.

Finn naturally understood this, and after what Bates had said, the underground power in City C was currently clear. In the four districts, there were already three districts that were under his control.

Only the southern district, Hertha remained.

"What is the situation regarding her?" Finn asked.

"Master Chen. Hertha is not simple." Lowe was serious.

"What's not simple about her?" Finn was a little curious. What was Hertha's ability to make Lowe scrupulous?

"Have you ever heard of Shawn Ye?" Lowe didn't say it outright but gave a name first.

Finn shook his head, he had only been here for three years and had yet to truly understand City C. But looking at Lowe's appearance, Shawn was not simple.

"It's normal that Master Chen has never heard of him." Lowe nodded his head, "Twenty years ago, Shawn was a truly dreadful figure in City C."

"Why he is so dreadful has to start with City C's history."

"Due to its remote location, City C's underground world has not been peaceful. On average, at least thousands of people die in gang fights every year. The underground world of here is known for its fierce and cruel battles in several nearby states."

"Therefore, since the city's founding, City C's underground world has never really been unified. Some people even say that here is the burial ground of ambitious people. No matter how outstanding you are, it's simply impossible to unify City C."

"But twenty years ago, the sudden appearance of Shawn broke that rule."

"One year."

"He used only one year to fight from west to north and then from south to east. With his strength, he rigidly defeated the entire city!"

"At that time, he was collectively revered by the many underground forces of City C as the uncrowned king!"

"A true underground emperor!"

Lowe said in a deep voice. Twenty years ago, Shawn's name of Underground Emperor was a very significant one. Unlike today, he, with Thad and Dennis, who only controlled one district, was revered as underground emperors. And Shawn truly controlled all the districts at that time, and even those powerful families were respectful.

"Shawn is a martial artist?" Finn frowned. Only if Shawn was a martial artist could explain why he was so powerful. One had to know that City C was not as peaceful twenty years ago as it was now. In that age, Country C did not have strict control over guns and knives, and it was common for guns to appear in the battle for territory. It was simply impossible for an ordinary person to take down here in a hail of bullets.

So Shawn could only be a martial artist, and at least in a later stage of the obscure period!

"Yes, Master Chen. Legend has it that he is indeed a martial artist." Lowe was aware that Finn was also a martial artist. However, he didn't feel that Finn was stronger than the Shawn of twenty years ago.

"I also know something about Shawn from my father." Bates's tone was also somewhat heavy, "My father said that City C was originally a place with many great persons and rich produce. Before Shawn came, the field of martial arts was thriving. Among the nearby states, the strength of the martial arts world was also among the best."
