Cough, cough.
Although I was unhappy, what could I say about my brother's wife? I just felt that Captain Molly looked quite good, and she seemed to match well with Liu Sen.
I shamelessly praised my brother's wife, and she smiled after hearing it, turning her gaze towards Liu Sen.
Well, Dong Ge, we’ve listened to your words, but we’ve been stuck in a standoff with Tam. Now they’ve surrounded me completely; there’s no way for us to break out.
Liu Sen quickly asked me, seemingly a bit afraid of Molly's sharp gaze. Beside him, Molly chuckled lightly: I really can’t understand how you became the leader. You ordered us to wait here and get surrounded; now what do we do? We only have one Kyle in our hands, while they have far more troops than we do! If we hand over Kyle, that’s a death sentence. If we don’t hand him over, how can we keep dragging this out? This is their territory; how can we afford to stall?
Molly said with an annoyed expression.
It seemed she thought that once they captured Kyle, they should quickly retreat or use him to coerce Tam into some sort of agreement.
But I didn’t see it that way.
Human nature is indeed an important factor; often it can determine success or failure.
Well then, I smiled and stood up without answering Molly but instead asked: Where is Kyle now?
What do you want? Molly asked me.
Bring him to see me.
I said with a smile. After hearing this, Molly didn’t say much and had someone bring in the visibly panicked Kyle.
However, aside from looking a bit flustered, Kyle didn’t seem to be in any real trouble. It was clear that Molly and the others were afraid something might happen to Kyle if Tam attacked, so they didn’t dare do anything to this scoundrel.
But having stayed at Jinshan Jiao for quite some time, I had heard more than once about how Tam doted on Kyle beyond measure.
I had also met Tam; he was indeed ruthless towards others, but I was sure he was different with his own family—especially his son.
Heh.
Come with me!
I grabbed the scoundrel Kyle; his father was a drug lord who used human skin for furniture and had created such a morally bankrupt gladiatorial arena for profit! Today would be the day they paid the price!
What are you doing? What are you doing?!
Kyle shouted in panic, but I pretended not to hear him and dragged him up to the walls of the Gladiatorial Arena. Before reaching the walls, I grabbed a handful of dirt and smeared it on my face.
I had met Tam before; others might not recognize me, but I couldn’t let Tam identify me. If he reported this to Tian Ye Group, everything would be ruined. In these past two months, I had changed quite a bit; my short hair had grown long and darkened. Standing on the walls from a distance, as long as my face was smeared a bit, Tam definitely wouldn’t recognize me.
The Gladiatorial Arena resembled the Roman Colosseum with its high walls, making it easy to defend but hard to attack. From my vantage point on the walls, I could see Tam’s army camped outside!
Tam! Get out here!
I shouted loudly!
At that moment, Nick and the others also arrived by my side.
Suddenly there was a commotion from the enemy camp as Tam emerged from one of the tents.
"I tell you! Release my son! I can still give you a way out! Otherwise! I will make sure you all die!" Tam shouted.
I let out a cold laugh, turning around to draw a blade from Nick's waist.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? You're looking for death!" Tam exclaimed, horrified as he watched me pull out the weapon, while Kyle screamed in terror, begging Tam to save him.
Heh.
With a swift motion, I struck!
"Ah!"
Kyle's scream echoed through the air.
Everyone froze in shock; I had severed Kyle's hand!
"Damn it!" Tam cursed loudly.
It was as if I had inflicted a grave injury upon them, but in reality? These vampires! They would chop off hands and feet without a second thought! How many people had they harmed?
In this world, you eventually pay for your actions!
Molly attempted to intervene, but Liu Sen stopped her.
"Are you looking to die? Attack! Everyone, attack!" Tam shouted immediately.
"Alright!" I roared back, even louder than Tam.
I pressed the blade against Kyle's neck, who was crying and trembling so much he nearly wet himself.
But he would be the first to die.
I looked at Tam with a cold smile.
Tam suddenly froze in place, then shouted into the sky to halt the attack, demanding answers from me.
"What the hell do you want? Huh? What do you want?" Tam yelled at me.
"Simple. If your son isn't treated within ten minutes due to his injuries, he might bleed to death. I give you a choice: kill five hundred of your men! I'll save your son!" I said coldly, fixing my gaze on Tam.
I knew Tam would comply with my demands.
"You must be dreaming!" Tam shouted angrily.
But his useless son shouted, "Dad! You have to save me! He's a madman! He's a madman! He says he can definitely do it! Dad, kill him!"
Kyle urged Tam to personally kill his subordinates. I sneered; this father and son were utterly inhumane. Of course, none of his subordinates were anything special either. Not only did they not plant Poppy, but they also couldn't even provide enough food for those who did.
Old Wang fell ill, and if it weren't for my choice to come to the Gladiatorial Arena, no one would have treated him. Old Wang's fate would have been death!
Is your life worth more than others'?
I'm not a saint who believes in repaying kindness with kindness. How many lives would it take to make this father and son realize their wrongs?
Today, I would use violence to counter violence! I would use cruelty to combat cruelty and make this pair of bloodsucking vampires pay their debts! I wanted them all to disappear from this world!
Suddenly, Tam fell silent.
Tam's army began to stir; many started urging Tam to organize an attack.
"What the hell are you attacking for? My son is in their hands!"
Tam immediately slapped the person who suggested the attack!
Then he seized a weapon from someone nearby and without saying a word, began firing!
He listened to my words, trading the slaughter of his subordinates for his son's life.
I coldly watched the massacre unfold below. These people had once been the tyrants here, looking down on countless impoverished souls, including me.
They manufactured drugs and destroyed countless families.
They captured people to turn them into beasts for the Gladiatorial Arena, causing many to lose their humanity.
Seventy of my brothers had died at their hands!
Killing—people kill each other! Retribution is always certain!
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Rat-a-tat-tat!
The sound of gunfire erupted below. Under Tam's orders, in an instant, all those previously lively scum were riddled with bullets, leaving a sea of corpses. I couldn't count how many there were, but there were hundreds.
They tragically died at the hands of their own leader. This could only mean one thing: they had chosen the wrong person and done the wrong thing from the very beginning.
"Is that enough?"
Tam looked at me angrily.
I smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
"See you tomorrow!"
I grabbed Kyle and left!
Tam shouted for me to save his son. If he couldn't see his son tomorrow, he would definitely order an attack. I laughed but didn't respond; Tam was doomed!
Once we arrived at the Gladiatorial Arena, I went to my resting room. As for Kyle?
I certainly can't let him die, at least not for now. I casually tossed him to the healer here, who quickly began treating his wounds. There are doctors in the Gladiatorial Arena, but usually, few have the privilege to use their services.
"What are you doing? Do you have any idea how dangerous this is? If Tam orders an attack without regard for Kyle's life, we all might end up buried with you!" Molly shouted at me as we entered the city.
I couldn't help but chuckle at her words. Hadn't he already done that?
"You’re absolutely insane! This is utterly unreasonable!"
Molly looked at me as if I were hopeless. I stopped smiling and shot her a glance.
"What’s wrong? Am I wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Molly seemed flustered by my gaze. It was strange; after two months of living like a beast, I felt sharper than ever. How could a mere look from me provoke such a reaction from someone like Molly?
"Molly, I know what kind of person you are. What do you think of Tam?"
I asked seriously, glancing around to ensure everyone was listening—Liu Sen, Lu Ying, Nick, and Rosen were all present.
"A menace."
"What level of menace?"
"The highest level."
"If you could choose to eliminate him, what price would you be willing to pay?"
I continued my inquiry. Molly fell silent.
"I believe many in the Jinshan Jiao region have suffered under Tam's tyranny, right? Including your mercenary team! Even you as the leader, correct?"
I pressed on. I had gathered information about Tam's influence over the past two months; his reach was extensive. Otherwise, why would Molly come to eliminate Tam without being hired by anyone? Was it merely for the sake of goodness?
"Yes, I have an irreconcilable feud with him. Every member of my mercenary team shares that enmity!"
Molly took a deep breath.
"Then what if eliminating Tam meant wiping out your entire mercenary team?"
I continued questioning her. She hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded and said, "I can accept that! As long as we can kill that bastard and dismantle his power!"
"What if I told you I have a way to take down Tam without losing a single person? Would you still think I'm insane?"
I smiled at Molly and asked. The room fell silent as everyone processed my words; clearly, not everyone could read my thoughts as accurately as Zheng Yu could.
