Chapter 226: Zhao Xiaowan
Li Banfeng sat back in his chair, the wide brim of his hat casting his face in shadow, so that only the faint outline of his expression could be seen.
The man before him, Luo Zhengnan, had spoken with a mix of truth and lies. The lies were easy to spot. He claimed he had brought only two subordinates, but there were clearly more.
Sun Xiao'an from the Second Branch of the Medicine King Hall was already inside the fort, selling goods, yet Luo Zhengnan hadn't mentioned him at all.
The truth, however, was harder to pin down, though a few things he said did make sense. If he could slip into Iron Gate Fort, then others could too.
And Zhao Xiaowan… A dwelling spirit like her was bound to draw trouble. Once word got out, Iron Gate Fort would inevitably turn into Blood Gate Fort.
What should I do about this? Li Banfeng thought. It's not hard getting Luo Zhengnan off our back, and it's not hard dealing with the Jiangxiang Gang. However, Zhao Xiaowan is so strong that even my wifey is no match for her. She's not something that I can simply deal with.
After a long moment of silence, Li Banfeng finally spoke. "Come back in three days. I will give you an answer then."
"I will await your reply." Luo Zhengnan rose and took his leave.
Li Banfeng added, "Take all your people with you. Not just the two vegetable sellers. If they don't leave now, I'll send them off myself soon enough."
