Finally.
Su Hua's body went limp as she collapsed onto Lin Xuan.
"Hua Bao, can we switch positions now?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
He wanted to be on top this time.
"Okay."
Su Hua's eyes were tinged with a seductive red, the teardrop mole beneath her right eye making her look especially alluring.
"I belong to Ah Xuan. Ah Xuan can do anything to me."
Lin Xuan captured her lips in a kiss.
The room filled with the sounds of their intimacy.
Then, Su Hua suddenly noticed Lin Xuan's left hand—it was bandaged.
She had been so consumed by jealousy earlier that she hadn’t realized Ah Xuan was injured.
"Ah Xuan, how did this happen?" Su Hua’s eyes brimmed with concern.
Lin Xuan instinctively clenched his fist.
He couldn’t possibly tell Hua Bao that he’d gotten hurt while fighting Luo Fenhao from the rival gang, accidentally cut by a hidden blade the man had on him.
"It's nothing," Lin Xuan brushed it off with a casual excuse. "I was cutting fruit earlier and nicked myself. Don’t worry, Hua Bao, it’s just a small wound."
Su Hua pressed her lips together.
At the Night Rose, Ah Xuan’s hand had been perfectly fine. Only a few hours apart, and now he was injured.
Ah Xuan wasn’t the careless type—there was no way he’d hurt himself while cutting fruit.
There was only one explanation: the Black Right Gang had done this.
Black Right Gang...
A dark glint flashed in Su Hua’s eyes.
How dare they lay a hand on her Ah Xuan.
"Achoo! Achoo!"
In a secluded villa, Luo Fenhao—his face bruised and swollen, an IV drip attached to his arm—sneezed repeatedly.
"Boss, do you have a cold?" a subordinate asked worriedly.
"Probably not." Luo Fenhao shook his head. "But my right eyelid won’t stop twitching. I’ve got this terrible feeling."
Like disaster was about to strike.
He couldn’t help but recall the beating Lin Xuan had given him.
"Tsk—"
Luo Fenhao rubbed his arm.
Why did he have to mess with the Golden Dragon Gang? And of all people, their leader—that demon Lin Xuan? Not only had he been beaten to a pulp, but he’d also been extorted for a fortune and weapons.
The Golden Dragon Gang used to be called the Black Tiger Gang. He’d heard rumors that the Black Tiger Gang had been paid to torture Lin Xuan.
But Lin Xuan, intending to enter the underworld, had instead taken over the gang single-handedly and renamed it.
Luo Fenhao burned with envy.
If only his Black Right Gang had been the ones to capture Lin Xuan back then—they could’ve been the ones rising to power now.
Instead, the Black Tiger Gang had stumbled into this golden opportunity.
Just thinking about Wang Ba’s smug face made his blood boil.
"You know," Luo Fenhao mused, stroking his chin, "if the Golden Dragon Gang is ranked second among the underground factions and already this terrifying, how much worse must the Night Rose be, since they’re number one?"
"Way worse," his subordinate shuddered. "Night Rose has dominated the underworld for four years. In that time, aside from the Golden Dragon Gang, any faction that crossed them was either wiped out or vanished without a trace."
"And their leader, the Dark Rose? She’s a nightmare—unmatched in skill, ruthless, a bloodthirsty demon who kills without blinking."
Luo Fenhao nodded.
Even though he’d been out of the underworld for years, he’d heard the stories. The Dark Rose was indeed terrifying.
"Since the Dark Rose is a woman," Luo Fenhao pondered, "and women are always weak to love… what if we gathered some exceptionally handsome men to seduce her?"
With Night Rose as their backer, the Black Right Gang could rule the underworld.
"No, no, Boss, don’t even think about it!" the subordinate panicked. "Other gangs have tried that—every single one failed. The Dark Rose despises men touching her. One gang sent a guy who accidentally brushed her hand, and she had it chopped off before wiping out the entire gang!"
Luo Fenhao frowned.
If seduction wasn’t an option, how else could they win Night Rose’s favor?
"Though… there is a rumor," the subordinate added hesitantly.
"What rumor?"
"They say the Dark Rose has fallen for a man. Because of him, she’s postponed her plans against the Golden Dragon Gang."
"If it’s true, then the infamous Dark Rose has turned into a lovesick fool. I wonder what kind of man could do that to her."
Luo Fenhao smirked.
Maybe the Golden Dragon Gang’s leader had that kind of charm.
But that was impossible—no way would the Dark Rose’s lover be Lin Xuan.
"Still, it’s probably just gossip," the subordinate dismissed. "A woman like her? Falling for a man? Abandoning Night Rose for love? Please. She’ll die alone."
"Yeah, no way," Luo Fenhao agreed.
He sighed deeply.
After the beating from Lin Xuan, he’d learned his lesson—know your place.
"Spread the word," he ordered. "From now on, we don’t provoke the Golden Dragon Gang or Night Rose. At all."
He wasn’t taking any chances.
"Yes, Boss. I’ll make sure everyone knows."
Once alone, Luo Fenhao rubbed his throbbing temples.
Why did he feel so uneasy?
Was he sick?
Better call a doctor.
Back at the Golden Dragon Gang’s base, Lin Xuan reassured Su Hua.
"Hua Bao, don’t worry. It’s just a scratch—it’ll heal soon."
Su Hua remained silent.
She would never let anyone hurt Ah Xuan. Whoever did this would pay.
Lin Xuan’s desire faded as he noticed the bandage on Su Hua’s arm.
His frown deepened.
That spot… wasn’t that where the Dark Rose had been bitten by the snake?
Goodnight, goodnight.
