Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Tonight We Eat Meat
“It’s a gang that specifically targets people like you who’ve made a fortune overnight!”
Sister Hua said in a hushed voice.
“Oh, didn’t you say it’s safe to win money here in Qingyuan Fist Village?”
“It’s naturally safe within the village, no one dares to cause trouble, but once you’re outside, no one will look out for you.”
“Is this ‘wolf pack’ very powerful?”
“They don’t dare to mess with those with power and status, they only target people like you who don’t have any background and have made a fortune.”
“How do they know I don’t have a background?”
“Ha ha, if you have a background, then show it quickly and stop hiding, acting all mysterious. Otherwise, nowadays you can hire an assassin to kill for just a hundred yuan, let alone tens of thousands? Wealth moves the heart.”
Li Fei nodded, looking towards Liu San, “Do you have any suggestions?”
Liu San hurriedly said, “My advice is for you to stay in the village for a while, lay low. As long as you’re here in Qingyuan Fist Village, absolutely no one will dare to lay a hand on you.”
Li Fei: “So I’m expected to hide here for the rest of my life?”
Liu San: “I will keep listening for information for you, and when the time comes, when they are not watching you so closely, I will find an opportunity to sneak you out.”
Li Fei shook his head, he had to go to train with Hao Yi every day, and if he didn’t go home for more than a day, Li Lei would definitely become anxious.
“Or if you trust me, you can also leave your money with me for the time being.”
Sister Hua suddenly said.
Li Fei didn’t even look at her, and said directly, “I don’t trust you.”
Sister Hua rolled her eyes, “Then you’re on your own. I hope we can collaborate again in the future.”
With that, she turned and left.
“Let’s go, get ready to head out.”
Li Fei said to Liu San.
Liu San looked at him with concern, “You’re still planning to leave the village tonight?”
“Yes, take this time to tell me all the intelligence you have on the wolf pack.”
Li Fei said as he walked forward.
Liu San sighed and could only nod in agreement.
In a room, there was only a kerosene lamp lit on a table, casting dim light.
A grim-faced man was sitting next to the table.
He was the leader of the ‘wolf pack’—Ghost Wolf.
Around the room, in the shadows, figures either stood or sat, all members of the ‘wolf pack’.
Suddenly, someone pushed the door and came in, looking at the man sitting by the table, and said,
“Boss, that kid is heading towards the main gate, it looks like he’s planning to leave the village tonight.”
Ghost Wolf laughed, “Then let the brothers get ready.”
“Boss, we don’t know much about this kid, are we really going to make a move?”
Someone in the shadows asked.
Ghost Wolf turned his head to look over, his eyes fierce: “This kid is deliberately hiding his identity, not daring to show his true face. He must have a shady background, so what is there to fear? He has a total of forty-six thousand yuan on him, and tonight, even if the King of Heaven himself comes, I am determined to take it!”
As he spoke, he took out a double-barreled revolver from his chest:
“After this job, we’ll leave Xing City and stay away for a year or two, to avoid the heat.”
The people inside the room looked at the gun in his hand and all felt the determination of their leader.
The law of the Da Lan Dynasty emphasizes ‘without the people’s initiative, the government does not investigate.’ As long as no one reports a crime, unless the issue becomes big, the government won’t intervene.
That’s why even though people sometimes die in Qingyuan Fist Village, you never see someone from the Inspection Bureau come around to deal with it.
Once the guns went off, it was a guarantee that things would escalate, drawing the Inspection Bureau into it.
Ghost Wolf had decided to use guns, making it clear he was ready to pay any price to get this job done!
With that, no one in the room had any further objections.
“The target is a formal Martial Artist, we’ll proceed with the highest protocol.”
Ghost Wolf said, holding a gun in his hand as he led the way out of the house:
“Brothers, stay sharp, we’re going to feast tonight!”
“The Wolf Pack has pulled off two major jobs before, both times they’ve killed boxers from the ‘Heavenly’ boxing rings, legitimate Martial Artists.”
On their way out of the village, Liu San took the time to brief Li Fei on the ‘Wolf Pack’.
“What was the strength of the two Martial Artists who were killed? How many are in the Wolf Pack? Do they have any formal Martial Artists? Do they have a martial master? What weapons do they specialize in?”
Li Fei asked in detail.
“Both Martial Artists who were killed were in the Body Breaking Middle Stage, experts of the ‘Heavenly’ ring. I don’t know the exact number of the Wolf Pack, but definitely more than ten, and they should have formal Martial Artists, but definitely no martial master. I’m not clear on their preferred weapons, but they’re very likely to have guns!”
“Hmm, is there anything else?”
“They definitely won’t fight you in a straightforward manner but will resort to ambushes and underhanded tactics, everything is possible, this isn’t like a ring match, you must be very careful!”
“Okay, this should be enough, you can drop me off here.”
At this point, they had arrived at the gates of Qingyuan Fist Village, and Li Fei stopped in his tracks and addressed Liu San.
Liu San looked at Li Fei, hesitating to speak.
“Do you have a phone at home?” Li Fei asked indifferently.
“Give me the number.”
Liu San then recited a series of numbers.
“Alright, I’ll contact you by phone later, you don’t need to come here every night to wait for me.”
Li Fei said finally, then turned and walked towards the gates of the Fist Village.
Liu San could only watch him walk slowly out of the gate, watching his figure gradually swallowed by the darkness in the distance…
After leaving the Fist Village gates, Li Fei started to run at full speed.
Although confident in his ability to deal with the ‘Wolf Pack’ lying in wait in the shadows, he didn’t want to give them ample time to prepare.
He now carried a newly switched steel knife on his back, wore a black martial robe over a stab-proof vest, and his pockets contained lime powder he had prepared in advance.
In order to avoid exposing his identity, he had not brought along the Thunder Dragon Pistol that Huang Weiguang had given him.
In addition, he intended not to use the extraordinary ability ‘Overlord Body’ of the Steel Armor Implant unless absolutely necessary.
The trump cards left for his ‘Green-faced Ghost’ identity included the Myriad Blood Pearl and two Blood Soul Skills.
After running for a short while, Li Fei suddenly heard a strange whistling sound, resembling a wolf’s howl:
“Is that the Wolf Pack passing signals?”
Li Fei made the deduction.
Ahead of him was a crossroad; to the left was a street bright with lights, bustling with small stalls and vendors, and people coming and going.
The street to the right was pitch black, without any lights and bereft of people.
Li Fei decisively chose to run down the street to the right.
As soon as he started down that street, the whistle, like a wolf’s howl, grew more urgent.
The cold moonlight fell on the sinister street, stretching Li Fei’s shadow long.
The Steel Armor Implant inside his body began to react, alerting him to the imminent danger.
With a clang, Li Fei drew the steel knife from his back:
“Let’s see who will be eating whom tonight!”
