Little Seven solemnly declared, “As long as I'm still alive, no one will get close to this place.”
After Luo Wanya went inside, Zhang Mengqian curiously asked, “Little Seven, have you ever met the Boss?”
“No,” Little Seven shook his head. “But I know he’s a very powerful person.”
“By the way, how did you negotiate with those landlords this afternoon? Those guys are ruthless, how did you get them to agree not to raise the rent?”
Little Seven chuckled, “Those landlords were pretty nice, they agreed after a little persuasion.”
Zhang Mengqian: …
The two waited in silence. Little Seven squatted quietly on the ground, like a wild wolf, his muscles tense and relaxed, ready to attack at any moment.
After about two hours, there was movement from the sewer again.
Luo Wanya emerged from the sewer, laughing, “This sewer is incredibly smelly, but it’s indeed a hidden passage.”
Zhang Mengqian curiously asked, “Lao Luo, where did you go?”As soon as he finished speaking, another person crawled out of the sewer. His Face[-] was covered in dust, but when he grinned, his two rows of white teeth were particularly conspicuous.
One, two, three… until the 108th.
Zhang Mengqian looked at the continuous stream of people crawling out of the sewer, completely stunned. “So many people?”
These people one by one embraced Little Seven, Little Seven didn't mind the dirt, “You guys are finally here. After hearing the Leader’s plan, I thought we didn't have enough manpower, but now, it's time for a big fight!”
More than a hundred brothers laughed happily. One of them said, “Lao Luo, mission accomplished, 108 people were expected, 108 people arrived, not one less!”
“Good job, Xiao San,” Lao Luo embraced him.
Xiao San glared, “We agreed not to call me that!”
“You were ranked third, what else would you be called but Xiao San?” Little Seven teased.
“Can’t I be called Lao San?”
“Alright, Xiao San.”
Zhang Mengqian looked at their dirty but playful appearance: “You guys…”
“These are all our people, rushed over from City 18,” Luo Wanya laughed. “These guys are core members of the Guardians' Union, capable fighters, they even captured a red-robed bishop from the Mechanical God Sect!”
At this time, someone from the back of the crowd said through gritted teeth, “Can you stop mentioning that you captured me? Will you ever stop? What if the other family members hear about it?”
“Hahaha!”
At this moment, Luo Wanya’s expression turned serious. “Everyone, you should know the importance of this mission.”
Everyone fell silent.
Luo Wanya continued, “I can’t tell you what the Leader is planning. But I can say that the battle in City 22 is the most crucial part of his plan, so we absolutely cannot fail, understand?”
“Understood!” Everyone responded in unison.
Zhang Mengqian listened to their unanimous response and suddenly felt a surge of invigorating power.
And he suddenly realized something. If these people's strength is similar to that of Lao Luo and Little Seven, then it shouldn’t be a problem to wipe out a city's gangs.
Even the Dragon Mark Gang probably doesn't have this many D-Class and C-Class Gene Soldiers.
Of course, as a tool for certain officials to make money, the Boss of the Dragon Mark Gang naturally has his unique abilities.
The Boss of the Dragon Mark Gang seems to be a B-Class?
Zhang Mengqian thought, that's still not as good as my Boss.
Luo Wanya looked at the energetic warriors before him, knowing that it was all about to begin.
After these people fought in City 22, they would spread the experience they learned to various cities in the Federation, which is the most important thing.
…
…
At 3:30 am, the street racers in Ninth District gradually quieted down.
Zhang Qinghuan anxiously paced in the shadows, waiting.
When he saw Luo Wanya and others appear covered in mud, he immediately rushed over, “Something’s wrong, something big is wrong!”
Luo Wanya raised an eyebrow. “What’s going on?”
Zhang Qinghuan felt relieved seeing Lao Luo, “It's bad, the thirty people we handed over earlier, the higher-ups think it’s not enough. They want another thirty, where are we going to find thirty more thugs in such a short time?”
“That’s all?” Luo Wanya said, “Don’t panic, I thought you were going to start a big sing-along again.”
Zhang Qinghuan: … It’s not the time for jokes.
“You started the joke first,” Luo Wanya pouted, “Your expression tells me there’s more than just this, what else?”
“Someone secretly sent a message saying that three nearby gangs are planning to ambush us, the residents are flocking towards the Pigeon Cage, we can’t handle it,” Zhang Qinghuan whispered.
Luo Wanya was stunned, “Aren’t those thirty mission targets right there?!”
Zhang Qinghuan was also stunned, so that's how you react when you hear about an ambush?
Can you show some respect for the other gangs!
At 4 am, Jiang Mubei suddenly sat up in room 4403. “Boss, there’s movement.”
Xu Linsen got up and went to the window, looking at the shadows on the street outside the Pigeon Cage, more than three hundred people were slowly approaching, carrying iron rods and knives, a few even had pistols.
“They’re not after us,” Xu Linsen said, “It seems the Arts Society has angered everyone. Xiaoběi, a sudden light shines into the darkness, so the light has become a sin. You also asked the other residents, and they all said that the Arts Society didn't exploit them additionally, which is equivalent to breaking the rules of all gangs. I don't know what the Arts Society is trying to do, but it's stronger than other gangs.”
Jiang Mubei pondered, “Boss, should I help them? I heard from the residents that the Arts Society only has about a hundred people, and they don't seem to have any guns.”
Xu Linsen said, “Wait and see, let’s see the Arts Society’s combat strength, then you can help if they can’t handle it. In the future, Black Spade might have to deal with them, it’s good to make a good impression.”
“Okay.”
The two stood on the floor quietly watching, ready to help at any moment.
However, five minutes later, Jiang Mubei’s Face[-] changed. “Boss, there’s more movement outside.”
Behind the three hundred people approaching, there were more than fifty more shadowy figures flanking them, and more than a hundred people were sneaking up from the front.
“What’s the situation? Is the Arts Society crazy? They have over a hundred people, yet they surrounded the three hundred?” Jiang Mubei was shocked. “Did they drink too much?”
Xu Linsen also frowned, finding it strange.
But the next moment, Luo Wanya and the others suddenly charged out of the shadows, “Charge with me, beat them up, leave them all alive!”
The moment he spoke, the power in the Pigeon Cage Building suddenly went out, plunging the entire street into darkness.
Jiang Mubei quickly took out his night vision binoculars from his backpack, while Xu Linsen didn't need any tools.
On the ground, the two sides quickly engaged in close combat. In just a moment, the battlefield situation seemed to be unilaterally crushed by the Arts Society!
A member of the Big Swing Hammer gang charged forward, swinging his rod towards a Home Family member’s Face[-]. But before he could hit, the Home Family member’s palm struck first, a crisp slap on the gang member’s Face[-].
With a loud slap, the gang member seemed to have suffered a blow, spinning like a top.
Jiang Mubei on the floor was shocked, “Metahumans? Gene Soldiers…”
Home Families restrained their strength during combat, pretending to be ordinary people, but both Black Spade members were experts, and they immediately noticed the strangeness of the Home Family member's movement.
The Home Families’ actions weren't particularly fast, but the moment they exerted force, it was incredibly powerful.
Xu Linsen glanced at him.
Jiang Mubei muttered, “That's right, there are a few Gene Soldiers in each gang to maintain their reputation, I'm overreacting.”
But the next moment, more than ten Home Family members engaged in close combat with members of the ‘I Want to Buy a Watch’ gang, the same result, the same scene.
The members of the three gangs were like children in front of the Home Families, completely defeated.
“How… so many Gene Soldiers,” Jiang Mubei murmured. “Boss, am I seeing things? It feels like each of them is at least a D-Class? This isn’t a gang, it’s a special forces unit, the Federation's reconnaissance unit might have this level of combat ability, right?”
Xu Linsen was also a little puzzled. They had dealt with gangs in the Federation before, unless it was a large gang like the Eternal Society, they rarely saw so many Gene Soldiers.
And the Eternal Society is an exception, because they have a Demi-God behind them. For example, in City 22, the largest Dragon Mark Gang is far inferior to the Eternal Society.
So, where did the Arts Society suddenly get so many Gene Soldiers? Even Black Spade couldn't produce that many, unless they pulled everyone from the Fire Pit!
“I was just wondering why they cut the power, it's so that no one could see their strength,” Jiang Mubei said. “This force is too shocking, if it's noticed, it will definitely raise suspicions.”
Xu Linsen calmly said, “We may have found the person Yang Yang mentioned, he's hiding behind the Arts Society, although I don't know what he wants the gang to do.”
In Xu Linsen's view, any organization that could deploy so many Gene Soldiers must be extraordinary. Besides the person Yang Yang mentioned, he couldn't think of any other target.
He still didn't know that this was only part of the Guardians' Union’s force, and they had just arrived tonight…
If he went to City 10 and City 18, Jiang Mubei wouldn’t know how surprised he would be.
And these Home Families are not Gene Soldiers, but Cultivators who can be mass-produced outside the Conglomerate.
“Someone has guns, they might have casualties,” Jiang Mubei said solemnly. “Boss, I'll go help?”
“No need,” Xu Linsen said, “They’ve made full preparations, you won’t be of much help.”
On the other side, seven or eight Home Families didn’t engage in combat. Under Little Seven’s leadership, they quickly weaved through the crowd, their eyes like hawks, searching for something.
At this time, Little Seven saw someone draw a gun and cocked it. He made a tactical gesture in the crowd, and immediately someone quickly approached, carrying a Big Swing Hammer gang member.
In just five minutes, Little Seven found a total of 23 gang members carrying firearms and, like a special forces unit infiltrating enemy lines, disarmed them one by one.
The speed and efficiency of the operation was astounding.
Jiang Mubei felt a little dumbfounded, “C-Class… those seven or eight people are all C-Class!”
Using so many Gene Soldiers to fight gangs, including seven or eight C-Class, was it necessary? It was too much.
He looked at Xu Linsen. Earlier, they said they would help when the Arts Society couldn’t handle it, but now it seems they don’t need any help at all.
Xu Linsen remained silent for a few seconds, “Although I still don’t know what Yang Yang wants us to learn, let’s stay put. Cancel the rest of the itinerary, and see what happens in City 22.”
At this time, the two of them were no longer covered so tightly, and the black totem on their bodies looked strange and gorgeous.
The power in the Pigeon Cage was turned back on, and the building was once again lit up.
Downstairs were hundreds of gang members lying on the ground moaning, and half of the Home Families were also lying on the ground pretending to be injured to avoid being discovered as unscathed.
Upstairs was a chorus of cheers, as it turns out, everyone hadn't fallen asleep yet, waiting to cheer for the Arts Society.
Amidst the cheers, the three combined gangs had already collapsed. They took advantage of the chaos and fled into their own buildings, Little Seven didn't hesitate and led his team straight into the buildings.
Those fleeing gang members hid in the numerous rooms of the buildings, trying to avoid being tracked.
Little Seven stood in the corridor, frowning, and said into his Bluetooth headset, “Search every room one by one? Is it a bit of a disturbance? And, we don’t know what they look like.”
Luo Wanya said, “Otherwise, let’s retreat. We’ve caught enough, at most twenty are hiding, we can deal with them slowly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, two or three doors in the corridor suddenly opened, and people carefully poked their heads out, “Is this the Arts Society?”
Little Seven nodded solemnly. “What’s wrong?”
The residents in the room pointed to the next room and whispered, “They’re in there. Quickly arrest them, we just paid Protection money, they definitely haven't spent it yet, please fix the elevators and water and electricity for us…”
After speaking, the residents quickly closed the door, fearing they would be affected.
… Little Seven was stunned for a long time, and couldn't react.
Luo Wanya heard the conversation through the Bluetooth headset, standing amidst the cheers of the residents of the three buildings, silent for a long time.
So this is the public opinion the Boss wants.
At this time, in room 4403, Xu Linsen said, “Go buy two bottles of concealer, cover up the totems on our bodies. In the next few days, we’ll try to join the Arts Society and see if we can find out what they’re up to.”
…
