General Cha Cai is a prominent warlord in the Golden Triangle, known for his ruthlessness. Even the number of people killed by him is at least in the hundreds, if not more.

But compared to the likes of Bloody-handed Demon Tu San, he could almost be considered a good man. They are completely on different levels.

The top ten villains on the blacklist are all terrifying figures, each responsible for thousands of deaths, each cruel, violent, and lawless.

In the Golden Triangle, while holding a heavily armed force, General Cha Cai could still maintain an uneasy deterrence against these ruthless characters and wouldn't necessarily feel fear.

However, now he is on Hong Kong Island, surrounded by just eight guards. Under Tu San's assault, they didn't even have the chance to lift a hand before being all killed outright.

And what truly terrifies General Cha Cai is that Tu San seemed to have been hired by Jiang Rou. Considering his earlier attitude toward Jiang Rou, the unthinkable might happen...

At the thought of this, General Cha Cai couldn't help but start trembling slightly.

Once esteemed and powerful, enjoying an unparalleled life, wielding authority over life and death—now he faces the possibility of being killed. The massive disparity unsettled him deeply, filling him with discomfort and unwillingness…

Tu San, having slain all eight of General Cha Cai's guards, seemed slightly unsatisfied still, moving step by step closer to him.

His fiery red hand dragged behind him like a blazing fire, dazzling in appearance. Yet each slow step was akin to needles prickling Cha Cai's heart, making his entire being tremble with fear...

"Jiang… Miss Jiang… let's talk… let's talk this over…"

Fortunately, General Cha Cai wasn't entirely brainless. For him to ascend to his current position, he had to possess a certain level of wit. Otherwise, his territory would have long been devoured by other warlords, leaving no room for his current dominance.

It was undoubtedly Jiang Rou who brought Tu San here, and he recognized Tu San's infamous hand at a glance, as he clearly had heard of Tu San's deeds. Knowing Tu San's unwavering loyalty to those who hired him, General Cha Cai clung to this hope...

This unwavering loyalty was something even Qin Fang had experienced firsthand. To protect Han Long, Tu San wouldn't even trust a dog, highlighting his fanatical rigidity.

Since Tu San was Jiang Rou's man, the predicament clearly hinged on Jiang Rou herself. Though General Cha Cai initially looked down on Jiang Rou as merely a woman, he now had no choice but to humbly plead with her...

His survival rested entirely on Jiang Rou's words.

If Jiang Rou uttered a single "No," Tu San would undoubtedly execute him with a Blood Hand Print, extinguishing this once-untouchable Golden Triangle warlord.

If Jiang Rou chose to spare him, Tu San would withdraw, allowing Cha Cai's life to hang by a thread. As for what conditions Jiang Rou might impose, General Cha Cai knew he had no room for negotiation—he would unquestionably agree to whatever Jiang Rou demanded.

Of course, once out of Hong Kong Island and back in his territory, whether or not he honored any promises would depend solely on his mood...

"General Cha Cai, what do you mean by that? I'm merely a weak woman—how could I possibly pose any threat to you?"

Jiang Rou's smile remained unchanged, as coy and delicate as before, coupled with an innocent, pitiable demeanor.

But such expressions were far from convincing to General Cha Cai. Facing eight guns unfazed and showing no reaction to eight lives lost before her eyes—such a woman could never truly be "weak."

Not to mention, Han Long's corpse had been deliberately displayed as orchestrated by this so-called "weak woman," something no ordinary individual could have accomplished…

"Y-y-yes, Miss Jiang, let's talk peacefully—everything is negotiable…"

In the Golden Triangle, where General Cha Cai used to reign supreme, he now resembled a lowly servant in front of Jiang Rou, this "weak woman," humble and submissive with an obvious begging tone.

"Ah, General Cha Cai, you…"

Jiang Rou let out a light sigh, her tone seemingly filled with helplessness as she gave Tu San a subtle eye signal.

Tu San halted his steps, though he didn't retreat. Standing straight, his crimson hand gradually returned to its original color.

"Whew~~"

Though General Cha Cai didn't understand Dragon Country martial arts, seeing Tu San's hand return to normal brought him slight relief, foolishly assuming this signified safety.

Of course, if Tu San truly wanted to kill him, he wouldn't need the Blood Hand Print at all—any simple maneuver would suffice to end General Cha Cai's life. Every Martial Arts Expert, upon reaching a certain mastery, could use basic moves to effortlessly kill.

"General Cha Cai, now can we peacefully discuss business?"

Now that things had reached this stage, Jiang Rou seemed rather satisfied with the development, her dazzling smile unchanged as she asked meaningfully.

"N-n-n-negotiations, yes—negotiations!"

General Cha Cai was no longer able to maintain his composure. Glancing nervously at the menacing Tu San standing there, his heart pounded wildly, terrified of any sudden change of mind from the two. He hastily nodded in agreement, seemingly unprepared but keen to please.

"It's not a big deal, really. I simply wanted to inform you, General, that from now on, Han Long's business will be handled entirely by me. I hope we can maintain the same partnership as before—there's plenty of money to be made together. Of course, tomorrow's transaction will proceed as planned, without any alterations…"

Jiang Rou was indeed not simple. Her time spent at Han Long's side served a purpose. Now that Han Long was dead, she wasted no time taking over his connections and business dealings.

General Cha Cai held considerable influence as one of the Golden Triangle's largest warlords, commanding vast drug supplies and serving as Han Long's primary supplier.

Moreover, the private connection between General Cha Cai and Han Long was exceptionally strong. Han Long had trained his mercenary group within Cha Cai's territory, indicating their profound trust and closeness.

Only with such an extreme level of trust would General Cha Cai allow an armed force capable of threatening his control to exist within his territory.

Perhaps this explained why Jiang Rou chose General Cha Cai as her first target to secure Han Long's business network.

"No problem! No problem—everything stays the same!"

General Cha Cai dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction, nodding profusely without hesitation, sounding as if his response had been long prepared.

"Then I'll take that as your agreement, General. A man of your stature should keep his promises and never go back on his word!"

Jiang Rou appeared entirely at ease, nodding as though she trusted General Cha Cai wholeheartedly.

Her reaction startled General Cha Cai, but it also brought him a small sense of relief.

"Miss Jiang, now that we've reached an agreement, if there's nothing else, I'd like to take my leave to instruct my subordinates about our cooperation…"

General Cha Cai, eager to leave the precarious situation, cautiously made his request.

"Of course, General, I wouldn't want to delay you. Please, go ahead…"

Jiang Rou showed no suspicion, gesturing casually to send him off, causing General Cha Cai's pounding heart to nearly leap with joy.

"Wait—there's one more thing, General. As a weak woman, I have a very small heart! Although I believe you're a man of your word, I still can't help but feel a little fearful, so…"

But General Cha Cai celebrated too soon. Just as he thought he had made it through unscathed and started leaving, Jiang Rou's voice suddenly caught him.

He froze, confused, and before he could react, he saw Tu San producing a syringe seemingly out of nowhere. Without giving him any chance to resist, Tu San injected a pale blue liquid into his body...

"You… you…"

General Cha Cai's complexion changed drastically; his face turned ashen, his trembling finger pointed at Jiang Rou in alarm and fury. Yet, the words stuck in his throat, refusing to come out.

No fool could mistake Tu San's injection for anything positive. Even if it wasn't poison, it was undoubtedly something sinister.

"General, don't be alarmed. This is a health potion—a truly wonderful tonic! It'll make you more vigorous and ensure a long life. You mustn't misunderstand!"

Jiang Rou's expression remained calm, her face adorned with a faint smile. Her tone even carried a hint of mockery, as if this were genuinely a generous gift.

"Of course, it does have some side effects—you must receive injections every two to three months. Otherwise, your blood vessels will rupture, leading to death!"

The real crux of the matter lay in her last sentence, which plunged General Cha Cai into unimaginable despair. This was undoubtedly Jiang Rou's method of asserting control over him.

"Hmph…"

Having reached this point, General Cha Cai couldn't fail to understand Jiang Rou's ploy. Yet, everything was already set—the ending couldn't be rewritten.

His brief, bitter snort expressed the suppressed anger boiling within him. Without another word, he turned and stormed out, slamming the door behind him… (To be continued.
