58: detonate

Entering the small building, it was noticeably more luxurious than Dawn Base.

The sofas were all made of real leather and were very clean. A large rug was spread on the living room floor.

"Lord Pan, please sit!" Xiang Xiu specially moved a single sofa for Pan Han.

"Thank you, Gang Leader!"

"Xiang Xiu, let's stop with the pleasantries. We've brought all the supplies; quickly return Old Wu to us." Qin Zhong was still worried about Old Wu's safety and wouldn't rest until he saw him.

"Lord Pan, you need to properly discipline your people. They have no manners." Xiang Xiu grumbled, then turned and winked at the guard beside him.

The other party turned and walked towards the second floor.

Qin Zhong tried to follow but was stopped by Pan Han.

"Gang Leader, I'm new here and don't quite understand the rules. But today, I've come with sincerity. I believe Brother Yong has already told you." Pan Han pulled out a cigarette and offered one to Xiang Xiu, who gladly accepted.

"Yes, he did. Lord Pan's conditions are impossible for us to refuse. However, I'm more interested in how to befriend Lord Pan."

"Later, let them take Old Wu first. I'll stay behind to discuss the details with the Gang Leader alone."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Xiu smiled subtly and looked back at He Yong. It was clear that He Yong had already clarified Pan Han's intentions and interests.

"Good, Lord Pan is straightforward! I've decided to be your friend! When Old Wu comes down, let them take him!"

At this moment, Old Wu was brought down from the second floor. His shoulder was bandaged, and apart from a pale complexion, his overall condition was good.

Second Sister saw Old Wu and quickly went up to check his injuries.

Pan Han and Qin Zhong also watched nervously.

After a quick check, Second Sister gave everyone an OK gesture.

At this point, everyone's suspended hearts finally settled.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. Your Old Wu has also evolved; his physical condition is fine. This minor superficial injury will heal in half a month once he's back and rested," Xiang Xiu said casually.

Although what he said was true, Qin Zhong still glared at him with wide, angry eyes.

"Old Wu, you've suffered. Let Second Sister take you back first." Pan Han stood up and helped Old Wu, saying.

"My Lord, you worried about me. I'm fine. They didn't do anything to me," Old Wu said with some guilt.

"We're family; there's no need for formalities. Second Sister, quickly take Old Wu back to rest and recover."

"Yes, My Lord! Come, Fifth Brother. I'll take you home." Second Sister gave everyone a solemn look, then led Old Wu to retreat first.

"Wait! Lord Pan, this doesn't seem to follow the rules. We haven't seen the goods yet," Xiang Xiu suddenly said.

"What, are we going to cheat you now! Besides, Lord Pan and the rest of us are still here, what are you afraid of?" Qin Zhong retorted.

"Go, see them off." Xiang Xiu felt that Qin Zhong had a point.

"Yes, Gang Leader."

"Lord Pan, you see, they've been sent off. Shall we go look at the goods?" Xiang Xiu said to Pan Han seriously.

"No problem. Gang Leader, please..."

So, everyone returned to the square. Wei Monk drove the truck to the entrance and lifted the canvas cover of the truck bed.

A mountain of supplies was clearly visible before Xiang Xiu.

The two guards nearby, their eyes gleaming, didn't wait for orders and immediately climbed onto the truck to inspect.

This pile of supplies was divided into two layers: the top layer consisted entirely of genuine canned goods, while the explosive cans were hidden underneath.

The two guards drew their daggers, each picked up a can, tore open the packaging, and pried open the tin.

"Gang Leader, it's real!" One of them forked a piece of meat and showed it to Xiang Xiu.

"Is it delicious?" Xiang Xiu asked meaningfully.

The other party understood his intention and quickly took a bite.

"Delicious, it's so delicious! Absolutely top-grade!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Xiu nodded in satisfaction. He turned to Pan Han and said, "Lord Pan is straightforward! Working with you is truly comfortable!"

"Not at all, it's the Gang Leader who abides by the rules. Then let Qin Zhong and the others leave first, and then we can talk about the rest."

"Qin Laoda and I haven't seen each other in a long time. Why not let him stay too?" Xiang Xiu couldn't help but look at Qin Zhong.

"Next time. You understand!" Pan Han was afraid Xiang Xiu would mess things up, so he quickly cut off his thought.

"Alright! Then, Qin Laoda, we'll meet again!" Xiang Xiu said awkwardly.

Qin Zhong and Cheng Xiao nodded to Pan Han, somewhat reluctant but having no choice but to leave.

Wei Monk bowed to Pan Han and then led his people away.

Now, only the truck full of cans and the Iron Gang members remained in the square.

"What a shame about this truck!" Pan Han thought to himself.

"Now that they're gone, Lord Pan can speak freely." Xiang Xiu patted Pan Han's shoulder.

"Phew! They're finally gone, I was so stifled. Haha!" Pan Han played his part perfectly.

The other Iron Gang members, upon hearing this, also started to laugh.

"Gang Leader, today I want to choose one person to take back with me. I wonder if everyone is here? If so, please call them to the square, so I can take a look?"

"No wonder I feel a connection with Lord Pan. Our teams have been out for over a month, and today they've all returned," Xiang Xiu said proudly.

"That's great. Let everyone come. I'll hand out cans and cigarettes to everyone individually, and then we can chat." Pan Han felt a little excited, seeing everything proceeding according to plan.

"Alright, I was going to give a speech later anyway, so I'll satisfy Lord Pan first."

After Xiang Xiu finished speaking, he directly told the guard beside him to gather the team.

Soon, over 100 strong men, dressed in various clothes, quickly gathered in the center of the square.

Even though their interests were somewhat extreme, their actions were swift and orderly, each standing tall and proud, their lines perfectly straight.

"Today, we have a special guest! He is the new master of Dawn Base, Lord Pan Han! He has come today to get to know everyone and to distribute gifts to each person. If anyone is fortunate enough to be chosen by Lord Pan, then they will need to follow Lord Pan back for a few days. Are there any problems?"

"No! We'll follow Xiang Xiu's orders!" Over 100 strong men shouted in unison.

"How is it, Lord Pan? My team is pretty good, right?" Xiang Xiu asked Pan Han smugly.

"Absolutely! The Gang Leader is truly far-sighted and practices what he preaches! My admiration for the Gang Leader is like a surging river, endless, and like the Yellow River overflowing, unstoppable!" Pan Han, without blushing or a racing heart, gave him an over-the-top compliment!

"Ah? I never thought Lord Pan would be so discerning! It's truly a pity we didn't meet sooner!" Xiang Xiu had never heard such high-level flattery and found it extremely gratifying.

"Don't rush, Gang Leader. Let me greet everyone first, and then we can talk in detail later."

"Please!"

Pan Han walked down the steps, stood in the back of the truck, and took out cans and cigarettes.

The strong men of the Iron Gang lined up, taking turns to receive their supplies. Each time Pan Han handed something out, he sincerely shook hands with the person and briefly praised them.

After more than half an hour, everyone had received their supplies and resumed their formation. However, they were all beaming with joy; they hadn't seen so many supplies in a long time.

"Lord Pan, have you found anyone you like? I think Aiqin is quite good. His technique is very skillful." Xiang Xiu, in a good mood after everyone had received their supplies, actually took the initiative to recommend someone.

"Gang Leader, you and everyone please wait for me for 1 minute. I need to go to the restroom, and I'll be back to talk." Pan Han was pondering how to withdraw first.

"Hahahaha! Lord Pan, you're having a reaction! He Yong, take my Lord to the restroom in the building. I'll say a few more words to everyone."

"Yes, Gang Leader! Lord Pan, please follow me."

Pan Han followed He Yong directly to the restroom.

"Brother Yong, you guys are amazing here, I came too late! Thank you, Brother Yong!" Pan Han didn't forget to flatter him and slipped He Yong another pack of cigarettes.

"Haha, My Lord, you're too polite, we're family now!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Family. Then I'll go in first, please wait a moment."

Pan Han entered the restroom, found a toilet stall, quickly slipped in, and locked the door.

He calmed his mind, reviewed the entire process, and took out the remote detonator.

"I want to cross over, I want to cross over, I want to cross over!" Pan Han silently chanted.

Just as the surrounding space fluctuated, Pan Han pressed the detonator button.

The moment Pan Han disappeared, a violent explosion occurred from the truck outside!
