[Book 3: The South]
The earthen wall was broken, and a cloud of dust flew up. Lu Tao brought his n as they leapt across the debris, only to discover that there were no signs of people on the other side.
“Damn it!!” Lu Tao’s face fell, and quickly brought his subordinates as they charged up the apartnt building.
When Lu Tao and his n broke through the place where Yue Zhong’s parents were staying, all they saw was an empty space.
“Search the place!!” Lu Tao’s eyes flashed with fury as he bellowed out.
The 20 experts swiftly turned the place over, to no avail.
“Boss! They must have escaped! What now?” One of the experts ca to Lu Tao and quickly reported.
Lu Tao’s expression was extrely grim as he gritted his teeth: “Disperse!!”
Under Lu Tao’s commands, these 20-over experts quickly retreated and left the place.
After a long while, so policen in uniform finally sauntered over to the vicinity.
In Guilin City, the triads were nurous, and fights broke out often. As there were a number of experts in each triads, as long as things didn’t get too out of hand, the local police weren’t keen on interfering.
“Traitorous dog!! Get the hell out here!!”
“This is our Chinese territory, you traitors and dogs can fuck off!!”
“Traitors!! Disloyal bastards! You still don’t want to get the hell out?!”
“Kill all the foreigners!!”
“.......”
At a part of the city, the Heavenly Dragon Triad had surrounded the headquarters of the Green Stone Triad, and a number of the Heavenly Dragon Triad mbers were wielding knives and wooden bats, shouting and cursing at the people within the Green Stone Triad’s building.
The Green Stone Triad had after all accepted a large amount of resources as well as the remnant soldiers of the Hong Triad. Therefore, under the right goading, the ordinary mbers of the Heavenly Dragon Triad were riled up enough, to call for blood, to the extent that even Yue Zhong’s Green Stone Triad has been labelled as traitorous and disloyal.
Such tactics to pin the stigma on other people have long been utilized throughout history, and the mbers of the Heavenly Dragon Triad did not hesitate to do the sa to the Green Stone Triad.
Shang Lun stood at a window, looking down on the shouting mob outside of the building, his killing intent billowing as he asked: “Old Zheng, what do we do now? Shall we kill them all?”
Shang Lun had followed Yue Zhong for a long while, and did not blink even when taking the lives of ordinary people. Truthfully, it was a numbness that most warriors had after a long while in such a world.
In the Green Stone Triad’s headquarters, there were 3 battalions’ worth of equipnt, and the mont the entire Green Stone Triad was activated, they could easily kill those senseless hooligans outside baying for blood.
All those hooligans wielding simple knives and wooden bats, how could they be a match against professional soldiers wielding modern weaponry?
Zheng Ming He shook his head and he laughed coldly: “Not necessary!! We have plenty of other ans!! Old Shang, don’t worry, let’s watch!”
Right at this ti, a police siren resounded from afar.
Zheng Ming He laughed when he heard those sirens, saying: “They’re here!”
A number of policen quickly arrived at the location, and surrounded all the mbers of the Heavenly Dragon Triad.
Seeing the appearance of the policen, the ordinary hooligans of the Heavenly Dragon Triad started to stir, and their faces fell. There were even a few who were frightened and tried to run away. A number of the higher-ranking heads bellowed in rage, and managed to control the situation, before it entirely collapsed.
Flanked by a number of policen, Dan Hong finally appeared as he stomped to the rowdy crowd of Heavenly Dragon Triad mbers and roared: “What the hell are you guys doing? Gathering illegally and creating a ruckus is an offence! Don’t tell all of you want to spend your ti in jail?!”
When the Heavenly Dragon Triad mbers saw that it was the Superintendent that appeared, the atmosphere broke, and a number of them imdiately turned and ran.
If the triads in China had no backing, they were vulnerable to the police. Any small-ti hooligan would be fearful and run when they saw a policeman.
Dan Hong swept a gaze across the remaining mbers, as he called out in a cold voice: “Lock all of them up!! Any who dares to resist, shoot them on the spot!!”
In the post-apocalyptic world, the authority of the police was still far-reaching. Executing criminals on the spot was a common occurrence, and using strength to demonstrate was now a normal way of the world.
Although Guilin City was considered quite stable when compared to the other establishnts that Yue Zhong had co across, it was still part of the post-apocalyptic world, and punishnts were still severe.
“Wait a minute!!” Right as Dan Hong issued the order for the Heavenly Dragon Triad mbers to be locked up, one of the Hall Lords, Sheng Huai Guang, stepped forwards in strides and barked.
Dan Hong glanced at him and asked in a low voice: “Sheng Huai Guang, are you going to resort to violence to retaliate?”
Hearing those words, the policen around got tense as they pulled out their weapons. So even imdiately brought out their assault rifles and aid it at the crowd of Heavenly Dragon Triad.
In this world, resisting was a frequent thing. As there were countless Enhancers amongst the civilians, many policen would lose their lives on patrol. However, those who had truly plotted against the governnt, had long since been wiped out by the experts of the governnt and the army.
Guilin City used to have 5 Great Triads, but due to the actions of one of them offending a governnt official, an operation was mounted to wipe all traces of that particular Triad, and everyone saw the true might of the governnt. If the Heavenly Dragon Triad were to resist with force, their days would truly be numbered.
Dan Hong was an asshole, Yue Zhong had chose not to kill him, precisely because he could make use of him and the threat of the governnt behind him.
Sheng Huai Guang laughed as he turned his body slightly, revealing a weak young man with an arrogant bearing and dressed entirely in branded clothing as he said: “I don’t dare! How could I, Sheng Huai Guang, be so bold as to go against the governnt? But, look who this is?”
The young man wearing branded stuff and had an arrogant look stared at Dan Hong with a provocative look: “Dan Hong! Don’t you recognize ?”
Dan Hong looked at the despotic young man, and his expression changed, as his back broke out in cold sweat: “So it’s Young Master Li! Why are you here?”
This young man was called Li Hong Zhi, and was the son of the mayor of Nanning City.
Currently in Guilin City, there was the banner of Guilin City and Nanning City, both had trendous authority and reputation. Nanning City’s mayor Li Jiu Ming and his n had a huge hand in everything with Guilin City, and was considered a true giant within the walls of Guilin City. That was why when Dan Hong saw Li Hong Zhi, his face had changed and he was breaking out in cold sweat.
Li Hong Zhi had a condescending look as he stared at Dan Hong, before replying at though he was calling a slave: “Dan Hong!! Since you recognize , what are you waiting for? Go get your n and round up the Green Stone Triad!! Or do you want my dad to tear the skin off your back?”
In this post-apocalyptic world, where order had collapsed, and there was no longer any supervision by the public, all the high ranking governnt officials had took it up upon themselves to be sons of heavens. They beca extrely arrogant, and this Li Hong Zhi was one such character.
When Dan Hong was reprimanded by this Li Hong Zhi as though he was his house servant, his face also turned white and green. He was after all, a governnt official himself with a certain status, and being scolded like that was extrely unpleasant to him. However, Li Hong Zhi truly represented his father Li Jiu Ming, and was not soone he could offend.
However, when Dan Hong thought of Yue Zhong’s decisive thods, his heart felt conflicted. If Yue Zhong ca back, he would definitely raze his entire family to the ground if he didn’t handle this matter properly.
After struggling internally for a while, Dan Hong gritted his teeth as he commanded: “Li Hong Zhi! I’m currently on governnt business!! Pardon my offence!! Everyone, go round them all up!!”
Under Dan Hong’s orders, those policen imdiately forced their way towards the Heavenly Dragon Triad mbers.
Li Hong Zhi’s face turned ugly as he shouted: “You guys dare!!! I’m the son of Li Jiu Ming, the mayor of Nanning City!!”
Hearing his explosive revealing of his status, a few policen stopped in their tracks, their faces showing hesitation. This was the son of one of the giants in Guilin City, if they were to bring him in now, his family would just pat him a little and he would be released, but the police themselves might lose their lives.
Just then, a shout of rage travelled from afar: “Who dares tough my brother Li Hong Zhi!!”
Following that angry shout, an army officer dressed entirely in military uniform, his hands wielding a gun, a head with short hair, burly build, eagle-eyes and a hook nose, ca running, his entire body ard to the teeth.
Dan Hong saw the military officer and his face truly turned ashen, his heart full of regret: “Shit!! If I’d known, I wouldn’t have stuck my neck out for Yue Zhong! This ti, I’m fucked!”
Li Hong Zhi on the other hand was laughing loudly as he ca up to greet the officer: “Brother Chang! You’re here!”
The officer was called Chang Yu Feng, and he was a company officer that was on good terms with Li Hong Zhi. This ti, Chang Yu Feng had actually brought along a company of soldiers to assist Li Hong Zhi.
Chang Yu Feng eyed Dan Hong coldly as he issued the command: “So you want to touch my brother? n, capture him! Those who stand in the way, kill without hesitation!”
Hearing Chang Yu Feng’s orders, 20 elite soldiers ca out from behind Chang Yu Feng, as they charged towards Dan Hong.
The policen under Dan Hong looked on helplessly as these properly-trained military soldiers ca up to them and apprehended them. These were the military, the weapons in the police hands were insufficient to go against them. Even their training was on a different level. These policen naturally did not dare retaliate, otherwise, they would truly lose their lives.
Dan Hong imdiately went up to Li Hong Zhi, as he called out loudly with a pale face: “I’m from the governnt!! On what basis are you guys capturing ??”
Li Hong Zhi eyed Dan Hong, as he smirked coldly: “Governnt? Here, I’m the sky, I’m the law!! You’re just a small superintendent and you want to go against ? You’re truly seeking death!! Take him away!! Execute him!!”
Dan Hong imdiately turned even paler as he shouted: “Dont’ kill !! Don’t kill !!”
2 burly n imdiately grabbed the arms of Dan Hong and dragged him like a dog towards a small ditch.
The policen looked on as Dan Hong was dragged into a ditch, his eyes filled with despair like a rabbit about to beco the al of a fox.
