Chapter 7
Sneak In!
Along the way, Jiang Li tried to remember some information about the Scorpion Gang.
The leader of the Scorpion Gang, “Liu Yanbing,” was also known as “Scorpion.” Rumor had it that he was good at using poisons and had scorpions as his pets. Many Martial Artists of early-stage level one died in his hands.
This was the information Jiang Li had in his mind.
Clomp! Clomp!
Jiang Li came to Scorpion Street with the three meches. It was quiet and nobody was there. He went ahead following the route in his memory.
Half an hour later Jiang Li and the meches arrived at the Scorpion Gang. Two members of the gang were guarding the entrance, but they looked exhausted.
“Wang Long, deal with them,” Jiang Li said.
“Yes.” Wang Long nodded. He hid in the dark and quietly crept closer. He took out his alloy dagger, then slashed the neck of the two members of the Scorpion Gang.
A beam of light flashed.
Pfft! Pfft! Blood splashed everywhere.
“Mm…” The two members of the Scorpion Gang died silently. Wang Long dragged the two dead bodies away and hid them in a dark corner.
“Let’s go,” Jiang Li said.
They climbed over the wall and entered the backyard, hiding behind a big tree. They looked around, but nobody was there.
Whether it was the Sirius Gang or the Scorpion Gang, all gangs had control of a street and had their own businesses, including “brothels,” “pubs” and “gambling stalls.”
Generally speaking members of the gang had to take care of these businesses, so there wouldn’t be many of them at the headquarters, though there might still be around thirty.
“Wang Yan, go catch that guy.” Jiang Li said, “Remember to be careful. Lay low.”
“Yes, Master.” Wang Yan nodded and left immediately. She disappeared from Jiang Li’s sight and sneaked into the room.
It was a piece of cake for Wang Yan to catch a person as long as she was careful.
A few minutes later Wang Yan came back with a fainted member of the Scorpion Gang.
“Master, mission completed.” Wang Yan threw the guy on the ground.
“Good,” Jiang Li said. “Well done.”
“It’s our responsibility to help you,” Wang Yan said.
Jiang Li shrugged, then knelt down and poked the guy’s face. The guy woke up after a while.
“You… Mm…” The member was about to shout, but Jiang Li covered his mouth.
“Answer my question if you want to live,” Jiang Li said. “If you shout, you die.”
“Hm…” The member of the gang nodded quickly in fear.
“Where’s Liu Yanbing?” Jiang Li asked and released his hand.
“He… He’s in the assembly hall. He invited the leader of the Axe Gang and Red Flame Gang to come over. They seem to be discussing something important,” the member of the gang said. ‘I… I’ve told you everything I know. I’m only a normal member. Please… Please don’t kill me.”
Boom!
Jiang Li hit the guy’s neck and he fainted again.
“I can finish the three leaders at once.”
Jiang Li got up and said, “We’re going to the assembly hall of the Scorpion Gang.”
“Master, one question. Do you know where the assembly hall is?” Wang Gang asked.
“…”
Wang Yan and Wang Long looked at Jiang Li together.
“…”
Jiang Li paused for a while, then looked at the fainted guy and said, “Wake him up again.”
After a while Jiang Li got the information he wanted.
“Brother… You can ask me anything you want. You… You can beat me a couple times more, but I don’t want to waste your time,” the member of the gang said.
It hurts. My neck is going to break. He hit me so hard.
Boom! Jiang Li hit the guy again. The guy rolled his eyes and was knocked out right away.
“You’re just a slave. Why do you talk so much?” Jiang Li said.
At midnight.
In the assembly hall of the Scorpion Gang, Liu Yanbing was sitting on the main seat.
“Scorpion, why did you ask us both to come this late? I bet it wouldn’t just be for a drink.”
The leader of the Axe Gang, “Lu Daoke,” sipped the wine as he put his arm around a sexy woman. His left hand had already slipped into her dress, which made her blush. Her fair, long legs were twisting around uncomfortably.
“Cut the crap and get back to business.” The leader of the Red Flame Gang, “Hua Yanji,” frowned and glared at Lu Daoke.
Liu Yanbing said, “After Jiang Huahong died in ‘Stone Village,’ there was no one to lead the Sirius Gang. And yet, Li Hualong suddenly became a Martial Artist of early-stage level one so we’ve never had the opportunity to take their territories away. However, the world is unpredictable. Li Hualong died today. Not only him, two other elders and the six officers of the Sirius Gang are also dead.”
Lu Daoke’s eyes popped out. “How do you know that?”
“I have an informant in the Sirius Gang.” Liu Yanbing smiled.
“What happened exactly?” Hua Yanji asked.
“Jiang Huahong’s son, Jiang Li, found a powerful fighter and killed Li Hualong and the others,” Liu Yanbing said. “He’s too young and reckless after all. He didn’t think about the consequences. Killing Li Hualong and the others may be able to quell his anger, but this also destroyed the foundation of the Sirius Gang.”
“How can he support the Sirius Gang alone?”
“Guys, what do you think? Our gangs can work together to take down the Sirius Gang tomorrow. By then, we’ll have equal shares of all the businesses on Honghua Street and of the Sirius Gang. Are you interested?”
“Haha, sure. Why not?” Lu Daoke burst into laughter. “It’s like a cake delivered to my door. I’ve always wanted the businesses on Honghua Street, but I’ve never had a chance to get them.”
“Jiang Li gave us such a great opportunity. He’s truly our hero. I must cut off his limbs to express my gratitude.”
“But…” Hua Yanji pondered.
“What are you worrying about?” Liu Yanbing asked.
“I’m a little worried about Jiang Li’s fighter. He killed Li Hualong and the others. We can’t underestimate him,” Hua Yanji said.
“Don’t worry,” Liu Yanbing said confidently. “We’re all working together. Even if Jiang Li’s fighter is a Martial Artist of mid-stage level one, I’m certain that we can win. The Sirius Gang will be destroyed and Honghua Street is destined to be ours. Jiang Li is also going to die for sure.”
“Really? I don’t think so.”
Suddenly. Bang! A thunderous voice came. The door of the assembly hall was knocked open. The shattered wood fragments flew around the place, embedding into the walls. The punch was extremely powerful.
“Who is it?” Lu Daoke looked over.
“How dare you break into the assembly hall!” Liu Yanbing got up and yelled.
“It’s Jiang Li!” Hua Yanji recognized the man at the door. “It’s really him. Why is he here right now?”
“Chiefs, I heard you talk about killing me and eliminating my gang,” Jiang Li said with a smile. “You’re making it hard for me.”
“Hahaha…” Lu Daoke laughed with disdain. “I was just thinking who that was. You sure have guts coming here.”
“You’ve come at the right time. We can just kill you here, so we don’t have to waste any more time.”
“Get out of here!” Lu Daoke threw the sexy woman in his arms on the floor and pulled out the sword on his back. A hint of viciousness then spread.
The sexy woman crawled to the corner.
