Hu Kou Town.
This town was built next to the lake, hence the name which meant literally "town by the lake."
Ships would dock, goods would be unloaded and loaded.
There was a need for strong men to do the heavy work.
Hence, different gangs formed, and each tried to gain control of the piers.
The chaotic environment also enabled the Dark Lotus sect to set up a contact point.
Lin Fan and the rest would need to find a way to infiltrate and intercept their latest plans.
"You three over there! Don't you know the rules around here." A burly man followed by ten others pointed at Lin Fan and shouted.
Lin Fan and the rest had decided to pretend to be young men trying to make a living on the piers.
And when they faced difficulties, this would be when the Dark Lotus sect members sought them out.
They looked for those with a need for power, no matter how to get it.
