"Domineering? Haha, you're right, we are domineering, so what?" Zhang Xi smirked with delight.
He hadn't anticipated that the prohibition of tricycles in Immortal Origin County Town would present him with such an opportunity. Capitalizing on this, he had nearly monopolized more than half of the vegetable market in the county.
This period had been immensely profitable for him.
It enabled him to recruit many more brothers.
Now he commanded around sixty men, all robust young males. These vegetable farmers stood no chance against him. With an even stronger grip over them, he continued to exploit their vulnerable position with even greater ease.
This success further inflated his confidence.
Not long ago, his moment of triumph reminded him of someone he held a grudge against.
Lin Yun!
Back in the day, when he was hitting his stride, Lin Yun's actions had landed them in an extremely awkward predicament.
His gang nearly disbanded, and he himself was badly wounded and barely survived.
In his view, he was too shrewd not to have succeeded if not for Lin Yun's disruption. He would've made a name for himself a long time ago.
Why would he have lived a life of such destitution for all these years?
Now, since he had prospered and Lin Yun's family was in his crosshairs, he naturally wouldn't let them off.
In the beginning, he was wary of the shadow Lin Yun had cast over him and didn't dare to act brazenly, resorting to tripping them up secretly.

Particularly a few days ago, he'd managed to stop Wangxian Tower from buying vegetables from Lin Yun's family.
Surprisingly, he came to know that Lin Yun had returned, which took him aback.
For some reason, the purchaser from Wangxian Tower he'd greeted was fired. The chef who was close to Lin Yun's family became the new purchaser and continued to use Lin Yun's vegetables.
For a while, he wasn't sure if Lin Yun had anything to do with these changes.
Therefore, for the last two days, he didn't dare to push Wangxian Tower to stop buying from Lin Yun's family again.
But during this time, he had people keeping tabs on Lin Yun.
Upon receiving news that Lin Yun was delivering vegetables to Wangxian Tower by cart every day, he began to relax.
And he started to look down upon Lin Yun.
In his view, Lin Yun must be having a hard time outside, otherwise he wouldn't have returned home and resorted to delivering vegetables.
The once formidable figure was now driven to such a state by the need to survive.
He scoffed.
A hero is always brought down by a mere penny, he'd seen too many people like this over the years.
His confidence returned,
and with it, the idea of humiliating Lin Yun once more and reclaiming their old turf.
"Little Cloud!"
"Little Cloud, you're back!"
Lin Yun's parents quickly came forward to hold onto their son, fearing he might retaliate.
They knew that Lin Yun was skilled in combat and also knew about his personality. If he was provoked, he wouldn't hesitate to fight. But this was a society under the rule of law; you couldn't act impulsively. Moreover, the other party had an overwhelming number of people. If Lin Yun made a move, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
"Lin Yun, you're back. Excellent. What do you think of my earlier proposal?"
Upon noticing Lin Yun, Zhang Xi's eyes lit up and he laughed.
Now that he had fifty or sixty people behind him, he was not afraid of Lin Yun at all.
"Zhang Xi? Long time no see, you are still as pathetic as ever! Who gave you the courage to mess with my family?" Lin Yun chuckled coldly and replied.
"What did you say?"
On hearing Lin Yun's words, Zhang Xi laughed in anger.
After so many years, Lin Yun still spoke to him in the same manner?
Did he still think that he was still the same person, and Lin Yun was still that person, who could discipline him at will?
Today, he would make him face the reality!
In just a moment, Zhang Xi made his decision. Even at a personal cost, he would teach Lin Yun a lesson.
In recent times, he had used aggressive tactics to monopolize the Immortal Origin County's vegetable market. It had resulted in a lot of pent-up aggression that could easily flare up.
This made him very experienced in dealing with such situations.
This was not something he was afraid of.
"Since he does not know his place, then teach him a lesson to show him why the flower is so red!" Zhang Xi retreated a bit and ordered his followers.
"Boss, just wait and watch!"
"Haha, Boss, don't worry, we will definitely show him why the flower is so red!"
A group of young men laughed loudly and rushed toward Lin Yun.
They had done this kind of thing many times before, so they absolutely did not fear confrontation.
Even though Zhang Xi had told them that Lin Yun was skilled at fighting, as far as they were concerned, it just meant they would have to work a little harder.
No matter how strong a man could be, he couldn't possibly defeat fifty or sixty of them, could he?
"This qualifies as self-defense, right? Since they want to know why the flower is so red, let's show them why the flower is so red!" Lin Yun shook his head slightly and replied.
"Yes, Boss!" Two men in black suits standing beside Lin Yun answered with a faint smile.
As they spoke, they casually walked towards those who were rushing at them.
It was only then that the crowd realized that there were actually two men in black suits standing beside Lin Yun.
