To be honest, Yin En's aura was imposing with an APP level of around 60, coupled with his tall and robust physique. Having spent many years as an international rcenary, standing there would naturally give off an overwhelming presence. So, it wasn't surprising to Liu Xing that outsiders might mistake Yin En for a mber of the underworld.
After so inquiry, Liu Xing finally learned why Yin En was feeling so frustrated.
As it turned out, upon arriving in the academy district, Yin En went straight to Ziwu City High School. However, being an outsider, Yin En couldn't find a legitimate reason to openly enter Ziwu City High School. Therefore, he found a discreet corner, attempting to climb over the wall to sneak into Ziwu City High School.
Surprisingly, despite being a seasoned rcenary, Yin En failed to climb the wall two tis in a row. It's worth noting that the wall around Ziwu City High School was only about 2.5 ters high and lacked any anti-climbing asures like barbed wire!
Fortunately for Yin En, luck was on his side. Although he failed to climb the wall twice, he didn't attract the attention of Ziwu City High School's security. So, on his third attempt, Yin En finally succeeded!
Having scaled the wall, Yin En found himself in a secluded corner of Ziwu City High School, with the school's football field ahead, hosting an ongoing match.
Beyond the football field was the main academic building of Ziwu City High School, a towering structure with ten floors, indicating a considerable student population.
To Yin En's left, not far away, was a small pavilion. Inside sat a girl engrossed in a book.
After a mont of contemplation, Yin En decided to head directly to the main academic building of Ziwu City High School. Being aware of his own image, Yin En knew that going to the pavilion might lead to misunderstandings. Moreover, the crowded and bustling playground wasn't suitable for Yin En to go and observe.
Thus, Yin En headed straight for Ziwu City High School's main academic building and began to explore inside.
After a while, as Yin En was strolling around, he ended up on the rooftop of the main academic building and spotted a daydreaming girl.
Originally, Yin En intended to leave, but the girl suddenly turned and looked at him.
The two locked eyes, creating a sowhat awkward scene.
Before Yin En could explain, the girl calmly asked if he was here to capture her for the underworld.
Yin En was bewildered, not understanding this sudden dramatic turn of events. However, due to Yin En's habitual poker face, the girl thought he had silently accepted. She continued calmly, advising Yin En not to harm her; she would obediently follow him out of the school.
Next, the girl composedly analyzed the security system of Ziwu City High School, describing it as loose on the outside but tight on the inside. In simpler terms, it was easy to get in but challenging to get out. For example, in the main academic building where Yin En currently was, security personnel specifically patrolled each floor every five minutes. Combined with vigilant class teachers wanting to catch students peeking into classrooms, there were nurous patrols in the main academic building. If soone spotted Yin En, it was highly likely they would inform other security personnel, making it nearly impossible for him to leave Ziwu City High School.
Therefore, the girl told Yin En to believe that she would obediently let herself be "kidnapped" by Yin En and then willingly leave Ziwu City High School with him.
However, when Yin En snapped back to reality, he could only laugh awkwardly as he explained to the girl that he wasn't a mber of any underworld gang coming to kidnap her. Instead, he was just a nostalgic and bored individual who had casually wandered into Ziwu City High School.
Due to Yin En's distinctive appearance and aura, the girl remained skeptical. Yin En had to expend quite a bit of effort to finally make her reluctantly believe him.
After explaining his background, Yin En beca intrigued by this girl. Her calm deanor in the face of a potential underworld kidnapping made him start questioning her identity.
Following a conversation, Yin En learned that the girl was Hirose Sakura, the daughter of a high-ranking mber of Ziwu City's largest gang, the Dark Willow Gang. Hirose Sakura explained that her composure stemd from frequent encounters with mbers of other gangs trying to kidnap her. Although the Dark Willow Gang was the biggest in Ziwu City, there were rival gangs and even gangs from other cities eyeing a share of the pie.
Thus, Hirose Sakura had beco a pri hostage target for these gangs. However, her father always managed to rescue her promptly.
Yin En noticed that whenever Hirose Sakura ntioned her father, she smiled, but when discussing the gang, her expression turned disdainful.
Digging deeper, Yin En discovered that Hirose Sakura's mother had passed away early, and her father, in order to provide her with the best education at Ziwu City High School, had abandoned his original job, joined the Dark Willow Gang as an enforcer, and eventually climbed the ranks due to his exceptional sword skills.
Although Hirose Sakura detested all gangs, she still respected and loved her father.
After hearing Hirose Sakura's story, Yin En beca even more interested in the Dark Willow Gang. As an international rcenary, he was accustod to understanding the underground forces of an area upon arrival.
Speaking of Island Nation's gangs, they could only be described as peculiar. Island Nation's gangs received official recognition and were considered legal organizations.
The legality of Island Nation's gangs was a result of exploiting legal loopholes. They presented themselves as certain companies on the surface, while behind the scenes, they continued their gang activities. Additionally, the concept of "political donations" under the capitalist system allowed Island Nation's gangs to openly bribe officials.
Most crucially, in the late twentieth century, Island Nation passed a law called the "Prevention of Unlawful Activities by Violent Gang mbers Act." Ostensibly aid at curbing the violent actions of Island Nation's gangs, it, in fact, served to indirectly legalize them.
So, despite being Ziwu City's largest gang, the Dark Willow Gang was officially known as a construction company. In reality, they operated underground casinos, controlled all the adult entertainnt establishnts in Ziwu City, and virtually monopolized the gang economy in the city. This made other gangs harbor deep resentnt toward the Dark Willow Gang.
After all, as the cost of gang legalization, Island Nation's gangs could only engage in gray industries and couldn't interfere with regular businesses.
The reason the Dark Willow Gang thrived was due to collusion with the current mayor of Ziwu City!
