Zhao Jun split the wild boar liver in his hands, giving a piece to Da Huang and another to White Dragon. Then he scooped up a handful of snow from the ground and rubbed his hands clean.

Qin Qiang's father, Qin Dajiang, strode toward them with the Tao Brothers, a gun slung over his back. They walked abreast, their presence imposing.
The moment Xing San saw the Tao Brothers, he flew into a rage. He leveled the Invasion Blade—the one he'd just used to gut the boar for Little Yellow—at the three men and roared, "Get the hell out of here!"
Xing San's roar instantly shattered the imposing aura of the four men across from them.
