Chapter 184: Tremors In Pursuit Of The Light
“No!”
“This is impossible!”
“My old man is a Intermediate Martial Artist wearing B3-grade Battle Armor, how could he possibly die?”
…
In the Underground Secret Room, Eugene watched all this through the monitors. He was on the verge of madness, with none of his previous composure and calm left.
For the Two-Headed Gang to have its current scale, his old man Nison Walker was the key.
With the strength of an Intermediate Martial Artist and B3-grade Battle Armor, he was a top expert in the Suburbs. Under the rule that Martial Artists were not allowed to fight inside the City, it could be said that no Faction could do anything to him.
This was also the greatest confidence of the Two-Headed Gang, like a stabilizing pillar of the sea.
But now his old man was actually dead, and had died in their own Headquarters. How could he dare believe it?
“Damn Obsidian Martial Arts Hall! They must have hired a big shot in the Bone Forging Realm to assassinate him!”
“Madmen! The people of this Obsidian Martial Arts Hall are all madmen!”
Looking at the monitoring footage of Luo Wu Shang and the other five Martial Artists still in slaughter, Eugene’s gaze held some anger, as well as some fear and confusion, but even more regret.
He completely could not understand it. He had only killed six Subordinates of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, something all too common in Gang conflicts. At worst, the Two-Headed Gang would just have to compensate some Martial Artist Resources.
He never expected the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to be so crazy, not only sending six Martial Artists to storm their place, but even overturning the table and inviting a big shot in the Bone Forging Realm to assassinate. This was something only madmen could do.
Fighting between Martial Artists inside the City was absolutely forbidden. This was the Iron Rule of the City of Light Chasing.
Certainly, hiring a Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist to kill a Gang Leader was practically the same as wiping out a Gang, but afterward the City Senior Officials would also severely punish any Faction that dared overturn the table. Directly exterminating all Senior Officials of that Faction was not impossible.
He could not understand why the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall went so far. Could they not just sit down and talk?
“Young Master, we should flee too. The Gang Leader is dead, and those four Honorary Elders definitely will not come. We can still escape in the chaos now. Once those six Martial Artists catch up, we will surely die.” One of the Two-Headed Gang’s personal guards urged Eugene, who was still in a daze.
“Right, we run!” Eugene snapped back to his senses, light returning to his eyes. “The City Senior Officials definitely will not let the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall off for this, and as long as I become a Martial Artist, I can later rebuild the Two-Headed Gang!”
This time the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had overturned the table, so the City Senior Officials would surely destroy them. And now in his hands Eugene had a batch of Type II Potions the Two-Headed Gang had just purchased from the Red Moon Merchant Guild, enough to let him become a Martial Artist.
As long as he became a Martial Artist, by then, with one call to arms, and with the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall gone, the original Members of the Two-Headed Gang would surely return. His life might even become better.
In that moment Eugene led a few Subordinates, carrying the Briefcase filled with Type II Potions, and fled straight toward the Secret Tunnel.
With three burrows for a cunning rabbit, although the Two-Headed Gang had not been at their Nanxing Street Headquarters for long, they had secretly dug a Secret Tunnel. It led directly to the Underground of a private Shop on Nanxing Street, precisely to ensure they could escape safely if the Headquarters was destroyed.
Eugene and the others were less than a hundred meters from the Secret Tunnel when a group of people in silver-gray clothing rushed into the Underground, searching for something.
“Everyone hurry, the Vice President said whoever finds the Two-Headed Gang’s Warehouse first can choose one Item first!”
Da Ye Ying Xiong led dozens of Players rummaging around, eyes full of excitement.
Earlier he had helped carry the Iron Heart Gang’s Warehouse, and that Warehouse was rich, with no fewer than twenty bottles of Type 2 Energy Potion. The current Two-Headed Gang might not be as wealthy as the Iron Heart Gang, but they should at least have some Type 2 Energy Potions.
As long as he was the first to find the Two-Headed Gang’s Warehouse, he could get a bottle. Then breaking through to Martial Artist would be much easier.
“Boss Da Ye, that Lizardman seems to be the one who killed us before.” The Newcomer of the Team pointed quietly at Eugene and the others, now facing them directly.
“Damn! This little boss is actually here!” Da Ye Ying Xiong looked at Eugene, his enemy on a narrow road, and immediately laughed. “You old bastard, you relied on numbers before. Now I’ll show you what righteous group beating is! Brothers, go! Whether we get loot is right in front of us!”
“For justice!”
“For First Blood!”
The dozens of Players from the three Teams present looked at Eugene, called the little boss, their eyes shining. The final boss had been taken down by the experts of the Teams, and they thought they would not get any benefits, but unexpectedly there was a hidden little boss Underground, so of course they could not let him go.
Seeing the dozens of Players charging at him, Eugene wanted to turn and flee. But with the Secret Tunnel just ahead, if he was chased by this group, the six Martial Artists upstairs would surely come too. Then he would not be able to escape at all. Now he could only fight desperately.
For a moment, shouts of killing echoed through the Underground Passage. Although Eugene wore B2-grade Battle Armor and each casual strike carried nearly two thousand kilograms of Strength, facing the reckless Attacks of more than ten Players at once, even he could not block every hand. From time to time he was struck by Lightning Palm and spat blood.
Only after Eugene killed more than ten Players was he finally finished off by a timely Lightning Spear from Da Ye Ying Xiong, which also ended Eugene’s sinful life.
“Damn! B2-grade Battle Armor! It’s a bit damaged, but after repairs it should still work.” Da Ye Ying Xiong stripped Eugene’s Battle Armor and could not help rubbing his face against it.
B2-grade Battle Armor was currently absolutely T1-level Equipment. Wearing it, one could completely fight against a Martial Artist, even suppress an ordinary Limit Beginner Martial Artist.
“Boss Da Ye, big find, this little boss really dropped loot!”
Da Ye Ying Xiong looked over at the Briefcase surrounded by the others. The Briefcase was not large, but it was filled with Type II Potions.
“Damn! Could this little boss be the Two-Headed Gang’s mobile Warehouse?” Da Ye Ying Xiong’s eyes almost popped out at the sight of the case of Type II Potions.
Ten bottles of Type 2 Energy Potion and ten bottles of Type II Healing Potion. This Wealth was almost half that of the Iron Heart Gang.
“Pack it up. We’ll hand it all over to the Vice President later.” Da Ye Ying Xiong ordered as he looked at the case of Type II Potions. “If this little boss can drop such rich loot, there must be plenty more good stuff here. Keep searching. Don’t leave even a rat hole unchecked.”
At once everyone continued excitedly Exploring all of the Two-Headed Gang’s Underground.
Meanwhile, on Nanxing Street.
Though it was already very dark and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians, as large numbers of Two-Headed Gang Members fled in panic, the whole Nanxing Street became shrouded in fear.
“What is going on? Why are the Two-Headed Gang people running for their lives?”
“I heard earlier that the Two-Headed Gang was attacked. Many of them went to Support. Did something happen to their Headquarters again?”
“That’s unlikely. The Gang Leader of the Two-Headed Gang is an Intermediate Martial Artist. With an Intermediate Martial Artist sitting in town, what could go wrong?”
“No, I just saw one of the Two-Headed Gang’s Honorary Elders running away. That is a Microscopic Realm expert. Even without B2-grade Battle Armor, he can face a Beginner Martial Artist head-on without losing. With B2-grade Battle Armor, he can fight an Intermediate Martial Artist. Even such a top expert of the Two-Headed Gang ran. The Two-Headed Gang is absolutely in huge trouble.”
The Vagrants with stalls on Nanxing Street and the bargain hunters alike all felt that the Two-Headed Gang must have encountered a major problem, otherwise things would not be this chaotic.
Some curious people, as well as Members of various Major Powers, could not resist going to the Two-Headed Gang’s Headquarters to see for themselves what had happened to this big Gang that had existed in the Suburbs for more than thirty years.
When they looked from less than two hundred meters away from the Two-Headed Gang, each of them could not help trembling all over.
Under the Two-Headed Gang Building, blood was everywhere. No fewer than hundreds of Two-Headed Gang Members lay dead. In the center of the open space before the Building entrance, there lay a Two-headed Lizardman. Although his Flesh and Blood was mangled, those who knew the situation in the Two-Headed Gang understood that this must be the Gang Leader, Nison Walker.
And in front of the Two-Headed Gang Building, besides the dead Nison Walker, there were many Humans in silver-gray clothing. One by one they were stripping Corpses, and whenever they saw a Lizardman running out of the Building, they rushed up and killed him, then stripped his Battle Armor, like Demons crawling out from the depths of hell.
“What on earth is going on?”
“I recognize that Clothing. That is from the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. These people should all be from the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall!”
“Was it the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall that attacked the Two-Headed Gang Headquarters earlier?”
“My god, what am I seeing? The Two-Headed Gang was actually wiped out by the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall?”
Staring at the Two-Headed Gang Headquarters where only Members of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall remained, everyone could not believe their eyes. Some even collapsed to the ground, goosebumps covering their entire bodies.
The Two-Headed Gang had been rooted in the Suburbs for over thirty years, with more than eight thousand Gang Members. Its overall Strength far surpassed the Iron Heart Gang, yet in just one night it was gone. And the one who did this was actually the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, which had always been fighting the Four Major Powers. How could anyone dare believe it?
Members of the various Major Powers who saw this scene suppressed their immense doubt and terror, opened their Smart Watches, and reported everything back.
In no more than half an hour, the news that the Two-Headed Gang had been exterminated and the Gang Leader Nison Walker killed spread through the entire City of Light Chasing. The Senior Officials of the various Major Powers living in the City Proper were even awakened in the middle of the night by their Subordinates.
“What did you say? The Two-Headed Gang has been wiped out? That Nison Walker is dead?”
“Was it that Obsidian Martial Arts Hall that did it?”
Battles between Suburban Gangs, or the destruction of some Suburban Gang, had never mattered to the Factions in the City Proper. But tonight, the fall of the Two-Headed Gang forced the Major Powers in the City Proper to pay attention.
Nison Walker.
He was a genuine Intermediate Martial Artist. Though not a Peak Intermediate Martial Artist, he had B3-grade Battle Armor. Someone like that was almost impossible to kill in the City, yet now he was dead. For the Major Powers in the City Proper, this was no small matter.
“Could it be that the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall hired an expert in the Bone Forging Realm from outside?”
