20 Internal Force Exper (1/2)

When Chen Fan arrived at the restaurant, he was surprised to find out that Zhou Tianhao's bodyguard, A-Biao had injured his arm.

A-Biao's arm wrapped in bandages was secured in a sling. Chen Fan wagered that someone must have broken it.

”Who did it?” Chen Fan asked curiously.

He knew A-Biao's strength first hand. Whatever damage he had done to A-Biao from the kick that night should have long-since recovered, so why was his arm broken?

With many questions in his mind, Chen Fan came up to Zhou Tianhao.

”Boss Zhou, I don't think you wanted me to come here just to hear your apology, so what is it? ”

”I knew I wouldn't be able to fool you!” Zhou Tianhao was not embarrassed at all by his poor excuse to coax Chen Fan to here. ”I need a hand, a small favor from you if you will.”

”I'm all ears.” Chen Fan nodded slightly.

Zhou Tianhao lowered his head and shot Sister Rouge a knowing glance, tell the other people to leave the room. Once everyone else was gone, a wry smile broke over Zhou Tianhao's face, and he said:

”Since Brother Chen knows Mr. Wei, that puts us on the same side. Let me fill you in on the details.

”One of my competitors who went overseas in the early years is now back on my turf. Since then, he had been racketeering my business; I went to talk some sense with him. Bah! You see what he did to A-Biao, that SOB!” Zhou Tianhao cursed loudly.

”What does it have to do with me?” Chen Fan's lips thinned into a smile. He didn't give a damn about the infighting between criminal scumbags.

”I knew you didn't care about my problem, but what if I tell you that this guy is really something else—” Zhou Tianhao paused and then heaved a sigh, ”he has returned to China all by himself. I am not sure how he did it, but his martial arts skills increased by leaps and bounds compared to the last time I saw him. He seeks to stir up trouble but is not interested in money. It was all my fault; I really shouldn't have offended him when we were both young. I have tried to bring as many as a dozen bodyguards with me, but they still got their asses handed to them.”

”Oh?” Chen Fan's interest was piqued. He gave A-Biao a look and asked, ”How does his strength compare to mine?”

”He is too much for me to handle, that's for sure. I can't even withstand a single punch from him. In my opinion, he is more powerful than you.” A-Biao smiled bitterly. ”I have been practicing martial arts for more than ten years, and I have never seen such a bad-ass.”

Chen Fan nodded.

He wagered that the martial artist must be an expert of the Internal Forces. As for A-Biao's comment that seemed to have undermined his power, Chen Fan did not care.

After all, He had only used 30% of his force when he landed that kick on A-Biao; otherwise, he might as well be dead. With his recent advancements in his cultivation, he figured that his attacks should be even more powerful than it was three months ago.

”That prick had asked me to meet him on the island in the middle of Yangui Lake tonight. I would appreciate it if Brother Chen could accompany me.” Zhou Tianhao said in a pleading voice.

Chen Fan knitted his brows; something told him that there was more to this than what meets the eye. However, since he needed money, he conceded that there would be no harm in getting paid for meeting up with another martial artist who used the Internal Force.

Although Zhou Tianhao knew that he was the old man's friends, he remained skeptical of Chen Fan's ability. He had invited Chen Fan to accompany merely as a security measure.

”Sure, I will go with you.” Chen Fan nodded.

”Great! ” Zhou Tianhao was elated by Chen Fan's decision. ”Before you leave, I wish to introduce you to another powerful martial artist.”

Chen Fan was right; this ”other” martial artist was who Zhou Tianhao is really counting on tonight. He himself was just a contingency measure.

After Sister Rouge had taken a slow sip of her red tea, a group of people started to file into the room.

Zhou Tianhao pushed himself out of the chair and went to the leader of the group with a warm smile.

”Master Guo! You are finally here! Come on in, please!”

The leader of the group was a middle-aged man in a black gym suite. His eyes glinted as he walked into the room with steady and swift steps, trailing behind him a group of young disciples.

Zhou Tianhao introduced the group to Chen Fan, ”Brother Chen, this is the master I was talking about. He was master Guo Wei from Wei Shen martial arts school!.”

Guo Wei gave Chen Fan a cold look and said: ”A kid? Did you find us a cheerleader? Haha!”

An awkward silence fell into the room. After a while, Zhou Tianhao finally broke the spell:” No, no. This is Brother Chen, don't let his young age fool you; he is quite a fighter. Just ask A-Biao!”

”It seems that you still have no idea who you are dealing with.” Guo Wei shook his head and said dismissively:” Your bodyguard is just a piece of cake for who you are messing with. He is above the pay grade of any bodyguards.”

”How so?” Zhou Tianhao asked. So far, he hadn't given any thought about the exact power of his rival.

Chen Fan smiled and kept his thoughts to himself. So far, he had been enjoying the performance of this Master Guo.

He remembered that Mr. Wei told him that in addition to the Wei family, there was also a Wei Shen martial arts school who also used the internal force. Mr. Wei must be talking about this Master Guo and his students. However, it was evident to Chen Fan that the power of Master Guo was pathetic, and no wonder Mr. Wei didn't seem to take him seriously.

Master Guo regarded Chen Fan with a contemptuous look, and then he asked:

”Boss-Zhou, have you ever heard of something called internal force?”
