Chương 170: Taking Over the Fierce Tiger Gang 3 (End)

Qinghe City. Watching Zhang Tai cheerfully run inside to pack his belongings, Fan Yiwang was puzzled:"Boss Song..." Waving a hand to stop Old Fan, Song Que smiled unhurriedly. Only after waiting for them to finish loading their belongings onto the carriage did he casually call out:"The people can leave; all the items stay." Hearing this, Zhang Tai's heart sank. With an ugly expression, he looked over:"Boss Song, what is the meaning of this?"

"Exactly what it sounds like." Song Que smiled faintly.

"Boss Song, all the assets here are my life's savings! As for the pawnshop's inventory, I sealed it up yesterday and haven't embezzled a single bit! I hope you reconsider, Boss Song!" Boss Song couldn't be bothered to respond to this kind of character. Seeing this, Fan Yiwang sensibly stepped forward:"Zhang Tai, stop speaking nonsense! I just went to the pawnshop with Boss Song, and hehe, it's truly so clean it doesn't even need wiping! If you know what's good for you, spit everything out.

Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding our past friendship!"

"Fan Yiwang, do not baselessly accuse people! Boss Song, please investigate clearly! All the items in the pawnshop were taken away by Young Master Zhongkang the day before yesterday! This lowly one truly hasn't touched a single hair of it! If you don't believe me, you can inspect it yourself!" Hearing this, Song Que sneered. How could I not know what my 'cheap son' did the day before yesterday?

"No need. This Young Master has taken a liking to the items you have here. Bring them all to me! You, Zhang Tai, can just lead your people and leave."

"Boss Song, these are truly my personal assets! If you don't believe me, you can open them up and check." Zhang Tai's eyes flashed with anger as he suppressed it and spoke in a deep voice.

"No need for such trouble, and I won't repeat myself. Now, either you leave immediately, or you don't leave at all. The choice is yours."

"You...!" Zhang Tai was furious:"Song Que! This is robbery!"

"You can go report it to the authorities." Boss Song began to lose his patience. His cold gaze pierced straight into Zhang Tai's eyes, terrifying the latter out of his wits.

"Hehehe, Deacon Zhang, where do you want to go to report this case? Do you need this Fan to provide a guide?" Fan Yiwang, standing to the side, couldn't help but sneer. Zhang Tai trembled with anger but was left speechless. Who could he find? In the past, they were used to finding 'Big Boss' Dong Zheng when trouble arose. But now that this lord had 'been promoted' to the underworld, would he dare go report it to him? Who else was left?

Xu Qing was in the same boat as the Golden Snake Gang, and a small shrimp like him didn't even have the qualifications to meet the man. Wu Tian at the County Office? Better left unsaid. Looking at the intimidating physique of Grandee Song before him, whose aura was gradually becoming dangerous, Zhang Tai felt defeated.

"This lowly one wouldn't dare. Thank you for showing mercy, Boss Song. I will lead my people and leave immediately." Seeing this guy act so sensibly, swiftly calling his people to abandon their belongings and leave, Old Fan couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Boss Song, I suspect this guy has definitely hidden other things elsewhere! Do you think we need to send someone to tail him?" Hearing this, Song Que laughed heartily:"Hehehe! No need. Not a single one of them will escape." Seeing this, Fan Yiwang understood that this big shot was not as reckless as he appeared on the surface; everything had already been prepared for in advance!

Although he harbored no treacherous thoughts, he still couldn't help but remind himself to act cautiously and not treat this youth as someone easily fooled like others might. Song Que wasn't just scaring Old Fan for fun. In truth, at this very moment, Xiong Ba was leading a group of men, lying in ambush outside the East Gate! They were just waiting for Boss Song's message to immediately take action. This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

Currently, the docks in Qinghe City were sealed off. To escape this place, aside from the mountain path through Eagle's Sorrow, was there any other way to go? He also wasn't afraid of this group hiding in the small villages. With Lightning scouting, he just needed to spend a little time to capture them and bring them back. As for the future of these people? Lin Min was slightly better off; he could enter the Manufacturing Camp and continue contributing his talents. As for Zhang Tai's group of useless scumbags...

Mining was their best destination! His several wives would probably be very gladly taken care of by the brothers in the stronghold who had been thirsty for a long time. In short, Boss Song wouldn't bother managing these trivial matters. Having resolved the mundane affairs in the city, Boss Song gave Nie Feng a few more instructions and returned home alone. Old Nie couldn't leave; he still had to stay and manage the Fierce Tiger Gang for a period of time.

Only when the gang's affairs had stabilized completely would he be able to extricate himself. …… At the same time, far away from Qinghe County, in Lingjiang Commandery and the Yangnan Circuit, quite a few people were erupting in fury because of the events that had transpired here. Lingjiang Gang Headquarters. Smash... Du Ruhui furiously shattered the tea table in front of him. His eyes surged with murderous intent as he gritted his teeth and asked:"Is what you say the truth?!"

Kneeling before him was a member of the Lingjiang Gang's Qinghe branch. At this moment, the man trembled uncontrollably, speaking with difficulty:"Gang Leader, it is the absolute truth! At that time, I personally followed the Qinghe County government officials into Vice Hall Master Weng's villa to inspect. The basement was indeed filled with men, many of whom had been sucked dry to death! This matter cannot be faked!" Recalling the events of last night, this gang member couldn't help but shudder.

Fortunately, he only had a lecherous heart but no lecherous guts! If he hadn't been able to restrain himself in the past and tried to get close to that demoness Weng Hong, he would probably be part of that pile of rotting corpses today!

"Bastard!" Du Ruhui wanted to vent his fury, but the table beneath him had already been smashed to pieces. With nowhere left to vent, Old Du could only curse angrily.

"That slut!"

"Have you found any trace of her?!"

"Reporting to the Gang Leader, the last time we saw her was when she returned from watching the duel in the city in the afternoon. After that, she hid in the villa and never appeared until the inspection. It's unclear exactly when she escaped through the secret tunnel."

"Were there any suspicious boats at the docks?!"

"No, Gang Leader! I can guarantee she did not escape by water!"

"Then she could only have gone through Eagle's Sorrow or fled into the remote areas!" Du Ruhui's voice was incredibly icy:"Pass down my orders! Hunt down Weng Hong with all our might! Capture her alive! I want to personally inflict the death of a thousand cuts upon this slut!"

"Yes, Gang Leader!" Waving his hand to dismiss his subordinate, Du Ruhui couldn't help but massage his forehead. This matter was troublesome! He didn't know if there were other Demonic Cult accomplices within his Lingjiang Gang. Not investigating it to the very bottom truly left one feeling anxious and terrified, completely lacking the mood to work.

It's just like being in a dormitory, clearly knowing someone beside you has malicious intentions, just waiting for you to let your guard down so they can press you down and assault you from behind, but you just can't pinpoint who it is! That feeling is a true 'Yamete'! Old Du was also afraid of getting violated! Yangnan Circuit, Six Doors Yangnan Inspectorate. Below, a group of Six Doors supervisors were being scolded bloody by the Inspector General.

"Trash! You spent all those days living there to investigate, yet you didn't discover a single detail?! Are you blind?! Or did you only go to Qinghe to play around?! Now look! A County Commandant was killed by demonic practitioners! Do you know what the Headquarters will say to me tomorrow?! You trash! Your father here will become trash just like you!" This Yangnan Inspector General, Wu Zhengming, was unable to contain his fury.

He stepped forward and delivered several kicks, sending those men flying backward, spurting blood, as he roared:"Get lost! Scram back to Qinghe immediately! If you don't investigate and find any useful information, don't ever come back! Obediently stay in the county and search for people for your father here!" The group of Six Doors supervisors, looking as if their parents had died, clutched their chests in pain and quickly ran out.

They were terrified that if they stayed any longer, their boss wouldn't just be using his feet. Preserving their little lives was the priority. At the same time, they hated the Blood-Robed Venerable and the local officials of Qinghe County to the bone. Waiting until these people were far away, Wu Zhengming still didn't feel entirely reassured and shouted:"Call Cai Wei to come see me!"

"Yes, Your Lordship." Before long, Deputy Inspector Cai Wei hurried in.

"Greetings, Your Lordship!"

"Old Cai, you must have just heard the news about what happened in Qinghe, right?" Wu Zhengming didn't beat around the bush, getting straight to the point.

"Reporting to Your Lordship, this subordinate is aware."

"Very good. The mastermind might be a First-Tier martial artist. I am not entirely at ease with the subordinates handling this. You go with them and check it out! The Pacification Office in Lingjiang Commandery truly hasn't been doing a proper job; they need to be straightened out this time as well!"

"Yes, Your Lordship. This subordinate takes his leave." After Cai Wei had gone far, Wu Zhengming couldn't help but angrily slap his own head. This matter was truly troublesome. With news of the Blood Demon Cult surfacing, he estimated the martial world in Yangnan would instantly plunge into major chaos this time! After all, unlike other terrorist organizations, these Blood Demons specifically treated martial artists as blood food to be hunted! Naturally, this incited the wrath of both men and gods!

Knowing that Blood Demon practitioners existed right beside them, it would be strange if people still felt at peace—especially the low-level martial artists. Upon hearing this news, they would probably be ready to riot! Truly turbulent times... Not caring whether the world lived or died, after finishing his work, Boss Song confidently returned to Plum Manor to rest. Waiting until it was pitch black outside, he secretly rode Black Cloud to the Black Iron Stronghold.

It was just a pity that while Lightning could carry him now, it couldn't go too far. After only about half a mile, the bird would be exhausted and have to land. After all, having absorbed Iron Qi for a long time, his body weight now was no joke—at least over 300 jin (approx. 150 kg)! Lightning's size had increased, but in the short term, it still couldn't endure such a massive weight. But even so, Song Que felt satisfied. In times of need, half a mile was incredibly precious!

No matter what anyone said, in many novels, the main characters would jump off cliffs and barely survive; in the future, Boss Song just needed to ride his bird to escape! If it was purely about landing, having Lightning carry him and fly from a mountaintop down to the ground wouldn't be a problem at all.
