Reborn in Hong Kong Island, I can see loyalty

Chapter 540 Jiang Tianyang is going to fight Ye Haoxuan to the death!

Two days later, deep in the tropical rainforest of Southeast Asia, in one of Jiang Tianyang's secluded estates, the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

More than two hundred men stood in a dark mass on the open ground, all dressed in black camouflage uniforms with their trousers tucked tightly in. Their submachine guns were polished to a shine and slung diagonally downwards. Their waists were bulging with grenades and pistols. The wind carried the smell of sweat and gun oil from their bodies.

These were all Jiang Tianyang's old subordinates who had been hiding in Southeast Asia for many years. Each of them had blood on their hands and their eyes were as fierce as hungry wolves.

Jiang Tianyang stood on the high earthen slope, holding a string of dark brown Buddhist beads in his hand, his fingers slowly turning them. When his gaze swept over the audience, there was no trace of compassion in his eyes; his gaze was sharper than the gun in his hand.

"Brothers!" His voice didn't need to be shouted; it had a penetrating power that drowned out the chirping of insects around him. "I, Jiang Tianyang, have been holed up in this wretched rainforest for so many years, staring at these broken leaves every day. I've had enough!"

The men in the audience immediately started jeering; some whistled, others patted the gun and shouted:

"We should have gone back long ago! Hong Kong Island is our territory!"

Jiang Tianyang raised his hand and pressed down, and the scene instantly fell silent.

"Hong Kong Island is the land our Chiang family conquered, and it is the root of Hung Hing!"

His voice turned cold, filled with a fierce grit, "Now look what's happened! A mere brat named Ye Haoxuan, with just a little bit of martial arts skill, dares to act like a king in Hung Hing, trampling the Jiang family's face under his feet!"

"Damn Ye Haoxuan!" someone roared, and the crowd immediately erupted in cheers, "Charge back! Take back Hung Hing!"

"Charge back! Reclaim the territory!" The shouts shook the surrounding leaves. Jiang Tianyang smirked, and waited until the noise subsided before continuing:

"This time when I go back, there's only one thing I'm going to do—kill Ye Haoxuan and take back all the power of Hung Hing!"

Standing next to Jiang Tianyang, Chen Haonan looked at the large group of elites below the stage and felt incredibly happy.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

Handsome Xuan, you've been arrogant enough!

With so many ruthless characters and weapons like rocket launchers, let's see how you die this time! Once Mr. Chiang takes over Hung Hing, I, Chan Ho-nam, will be the second-in-command. Causeway Bay will still be mine, and I'll make all your men kowtow and apologize to me!

Jiang Tianyang caught a glimpse of Chen Haonan's impatient expression out of the corner of his eye, and cursed him inwardly as a "fool," but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he patted Chen Haonan on the shoulder.

"Hao Nan, I'll need your help a lot when we go back this time. You're familiar with the situation in Hong Kong, so please keep an eye on Ye Haoxuan's movements."

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang!" Chen Haonan immediately straightened his back, his face full of flattery. "I know Ye Haoxuan's territory and his men inside and out! I'll lead the way for you and guarantee that we'll take down his lair in one fell swoop!"

"Okay." Jiang Tianyang replied indifferently, but in his heart he was thinking that once Ye Haoxuan was dead, Chen Haonan would be useless. He was a piece of trash who couldn't even protect his own territory. Keeping him around would be a waste of resources.

Below the stage, several men were inspecting their firearms, the magazines clicking as they were pushed in.

A man with a scar on his face grinned and said, "I heard that Ye Haoxuan is pretty good at fighting. He took down a whole group of Boss B's men all by himself?"

The lean man next to him scoffed, "Even if he's good at fighting, can he beat a gun? We have over two hundred of us, plus rocket launchers, we can blast him to smithereens!"

"Exactly! Mr. Chiang also sought help from armed groups in Southeast Asia, as well as several desperados from Japan. I heard they're ruthless and specialize in shady dealings!"

"Of course! This time when we go back, we'll definitely be living the high life, eating and drinking well, and we'll never have to suffer in this wretched rainforest again!"

They didn't lower their voices, so Jiang Tianyang heard them clearly and a satisfied look appeared on his face.

That's the kind of morale he needs—a pack of starving wolves ready to tear apart their prey.

"Pass the word down!" Jiang Tianyang shouted to his men, "Move all the weapons onto the ship—submachine guns, grenades, bulletproof vests, and those rocket launchers. Check them carefully; not a single screw can be loose!"

"Yes, Mr. Jiang!" Several subordinates immediately responded and ran downstairs, directing everyone to move the weapons. The warehouse door in the corner of the manor was opened, and boxes of weapons were carried out, their metal casings gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

Chan Ho-nam leaned closer and asked cautiously, "Mr. Chiang, we're leaving early tomorrow morning. Should we send someone to Hong Kong Island to scout things out first? Just in case Ye Haoxuan is on guard..."

"Defense?" Jiang Tianyang sneered, stopping his hand that was twirling the prayer beads. "What defense could a mere brat like him have? Even if he knows I'm coming back, his small force is nothing but ants in my eyes!"

He paused, his eyes growing colder: "Besides, what I want is to catch him off guard! By the time he reacts, my men will already be ashore. Then we'll take action from Causeway Bay and Hung Hing headquarters together, leaving him unable to defend himself!"

Chen Haonan's heart skipped a beat, wondering if Jiang Tianyang was being too arrogant, but he didn't dare to argue and could only nod.

"Mr. Jiang is right, I was overthinking it."

As darkness fell, kerosene lamps were lit in the manor, their dim light illuminating the men's faces, each one bearing a mixture of excitement and ferocity.

Crates of weapons were loaded onto cargo ships moored on the riverbank outside the manor, the occasional roar of the engines sounding particularly jarring in the silent rainforest.

Jiang Tianyang remained standing on the high platform, gazing in the direction of Hong Kong Island, his Buddhist prayer beads spinning faster and faster.

He had waited too long for this day. Hung Hing was his, and the Hong Kong underworld should be his too. Ye Haoxuan was blocking his way, so he had no choice but to die.

Chen Haonan stood to the side, feeling both excited and a little uneasy.

He secretly glanced at Jiang Tianyang's back and felt that this man was even more ruthless than Ye Haoxuan, but now he was in a bind and had no choice but to go down this dark path.

Moreover, Jiang Tianyang had changed a lot in the years he hadn't seen him; he was no longer the Jiang Tianyang he used to know.

If we set off rashly without letting anyone gather information first, this time things probably won't go so smoothly.

Chan Ho-nam knows Yip Ho-hin too well.

However, he is now living under someone else's roof and has no say at all.

The lights on the cargo ship came on, like pairs of eyes staring at the dark river surface.

The men boarded the ship one after another. Some leaned against the gunwale smoking, some closed their eyes to rest, and others were wiping their weapons. The air was filled with the smell of tobacco, sweat, and a faint smell of gunpowder.

Jiang Tianyang was the last to board the ship. He stood at the bow, the wind blowing the corner of his clothes.

He looked up at the moon in the sky, which was covered by dark clouds and only a faint light could be seen.

"Tomorrow, Hong Kong Island will change." He said in a low voice, but no one heard him. Only the river breeze blew by, carrying the dampness of the rainforest and a hint of bloody omens.

The cargo ship rested quietly on the riverbank, waiting to set sail at dawn.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away on Hong Kong Island, the Hung Hing brothers were still busy setting up defenses. Ye Haoxuan stood on the roof of the Hung Hing headquarters, looking at the dark night sky, as if he could already feel the murderous aura coming from Southeast Asia.

A storm is brewing; a major battle sweeping across Hong Kong's underworld is about to begin after dawn.
