Chapter 111: Both Ruthless and Crazy!
Chapter 111: Both Ruthless and Crazy!
Even most of the girls inside the shop couldn’t help but gasp sharply when they heard the name “Great Green Gang,” their faces instantly turning pale and their eyes filled with terror.
To be honest, Qin Li had indeed heard of the Great Green Gang. Since Watermelon was also involved in gang activities, he understood the major gangs in Azure Dragon City very thoroughly.
It was said that the Great Green Gang had extremely deep and powerful connections. A few years ago, there was a woman that both the Second Prince and the son of the Great Green Gang’s leader took a liking to. The two sides nearly came to blows. At their level, it was no longer just about competing for a woman—they were fighting for face and pride!
One was a noble prince; the other was the “Crown Prince” of the underworld. In the end, the matter was strangely resolved and never discussed again.
But according to true insiders, the woman eventually became the personal property of the Great Green Gang’s Crown Prince!
This showed just how powerful the Great Green Gang was—even a prince of the kingdom couldn’t contend with them!
Of course, it couldn’t be ruled out that the Second Prince gave up to avoid embarrassment, but the fact that the Great Green Gang was still the number one underworld force in Azure Dragon City certainly spoke volumes.
Qin Li had been the spiritual leader of a major gang in his previous life. He naturally knew that a gang like the Great Green Gang was no ordinary organization—its back surely involved countless large and small factions!
And those who rose to the position of gang leader were inevitably people with immense power and influence!
Still, as the saying goes, so what?
Qin Li, in particular, knew quite well about the incident where the Second Prince and the Great Green Gang’s Crown Prince had fought over a woman. Thinking about that, he slowly walked up to the man who claimed to be an adviser of the Great Green Gang, a humble and sincere smile on his face.
Except for Bu Yunyan, all the girls in the medicine shop showed pained expressions. After all, who would want to see their own people bow their heads to others?
Many of the onlookers waiting outside also couldn’t help but sigh, their interest fading as they prepared to leave. With the Great Green Gang involved… this shop was done for.
The effeminate middle-aged man stared coldly at Qin Li and sneered, “Kid with a Great Qi Kingdom accent, scared? Hmph, do you think I can’t recognize your accent? Let me be straight—being scared won’t help. You… are dead…”
Smack!
With lightning speed, Qin Li swung his arm, a blue light flashing around his body as he delivered a hard, sharp slap to the middle-aged man’s face. The sound echoed crisply in the otherwise silent shop.
The middle-aged man was sent flying by Qin Li’s slap, crashing into Du Ziteng’s group of guards and knocking over two more people.
The spacious shop quickly descended into chaos!
Outside, the crowd of onlookers erupted in uproar!
Qin Li still wore his humble, sincere smile, his voice gentle as ever: “The Great Green Gang? Is it that impressive?”
Du Ziteng stood there, staring at Qin Li in shock. The sound of that slap was still echoing in his mind—smack… smack… smack!
He subconsciously reached up and touched his own face, feeling as if it were burning and itching.
It took Young General Du a while to realize that the beaten man was still lying on the ground. He quickly walked over and saw that the middle-aged man’s mouth was full of blood, half his face sunken in, eyes closed—he had already passed out.
Du Ziteng’s heart sank heavily. He knew things had taken a serious turn.
This middle-aged man was his own maternal uncle! His surname was Gao, given name Shitong. Originally from the influential Gao family of Azure Dragon Kingdom, he couldn’t inherit the family estate, so he struck out on his own in his youth. With his brother-in-law holding the position of Valiant Left General of the Imperial Guard, he successfully rose to the position of Retainer in the Great Green Gang.
The title “Retainer” was used for high-level advisers in the Great Green Gang. And there were more than a dozen others like Gao Shitong—each of them with powerful backgrounds and deep connections!
And now, he’d been slapped unconscious in a shop run by foreigners. Du Ziteng could already imagine the reaction of the Great Green Gang, his mother, and the Gao family when they found out.
Extremely coldly, he looked back at Qin Li, as if determined to burn Qin Li’s face into his memory. Through gritted teeth, he spat out: “Kid, pray for a miracle!”
Qin Li smiled and pointed at Du Ziteng: “You want a beating too?”
“You…” Du Ziteng nearly choked with rage. He had seen tough people and those who didn’t fear death, but never someone who was both so ruthless and reckless. He thought he was pretty tough himself, but this youth in front of him was far more ruthless.
Thinking this, Du Ziteng suddenly laughed, his eyes filled with venomous hatred. He nodded and said: “Fine, kid, you’re ruthless, you’re tough! I won’t fight you. Just wait to die!”
He then stood up and said: “Carry my uncle away and get him medical help.” After casting one more deep look at Qin Li, and then at Bu Yunyan, who stood there unmoved, he added: “Shopkeeper Bu, you’d better pray for some luck. Now, no one can save you—not even me.”
Having said that, he prepared to turn and leave.
“Wait.” Qin Li said indifferently, “Did I say you could leave?”
Du Ziteng whirled around, squinting his eyes. He had naturally seen the blue light flash around Qin Li earlier. He sneered: “Think being a Mysterious Rank martial artist makes you impressive? If I didn’t want my uncle to have his revenge personally, I’d have them chop you into mincemeat right now!”
“I don’t believe you,” Qin Li replied bluntly. He then pointed at the still-unconscious middle-aged man: “Cut off the hand he used to hit someone, and then get lost!”
“Kill him!” Du Ziteng exploded with rage, shouting the order at his guards.
Suddenly, Qin Li emitted an extremely strange and chilling aura that made Du Ziteng and his guards feel as if they couldn’t breathe. All their eyes filled with terror.
This man definitely wasn’t Mysterious Rank!
That was the thought in everyone’s mind.
“If you won’t do it, I’ll do it myself.” Qin Li’s handsome face still wore a humble smile as he walked toward the unconscious man.
Gao Shitong had actually woken up. But the humiliation was something he’d never experienced in his life—how could he bear to open his eyes? He never imagined this youth would be so cruel as to actually want to cut off his hand… In a flash, Gao Shitong leaped up from the ground, half his face swollen terribly.
Qin Li had held back; otherwise, one slap would have turned his head into a smashed watermelon!
“You… what are you doing… If you touch me, you’re dead! The Great Green Gang will exterminate your whole clan!” Half of Gao Shitong’s face was numb, and he could barely talk, stammering through his words.
“Exterminate my clan? Heh, you don’t need to trouble yourselves. The Great Qi Kingdom already wiped them out for me…” Qin Li wore a cold smile, grabbed Gao Shitong by the collar, and dragged him outside: “Cutting off your filthy paw in my shop would just dirty the place!”
“Stop…” Du Ziteng finally felt real fear. This youth was clearly insane! And a madman… would do anything. Arguing with a madman was useless. Struggling against the immense pressure Qin Li exuded, Du Ziteng turned his head with difficulty.
His eyes fell on Bu Yunyan, his voice tense: “You… don’t care about your shop? Don’t you care about your woman? And these… these girls… Don’t you care if they live or die?”
The threat Du Ziteng was forced to make drew scornful murmurs from the onlookers outside. Threatening someone with a group of weak girls—that was just too low!
Without turning his head, Qin Li said calmly: “Just try it!”
When Qin Li stepped out, the crowd outside quickly backed away, leaving a circle over twenty meters wide. Many looked at the well-dressed youth with excitement—some were secretly impressed, some called Qin Li an idiot, others looked disdainful.
Gao Shitong now truly felt terrified. This kid wasn’t just reckless, he was an absolute madman! How could he not have heard of the Great Green Gang? Anyone who’d lived in the Imperial Capital for more than half a year must have heard of it!
“Let… let me go. We’ll call it even…”
Unable to bear the overwhelming pressure, Gao Shitong spoke in a very low voice.
“What did you say? I didn’t hear you!” Qin Li, still gripping Gao Shitong’s collar, smiled teasingly.
Gao Shitong’s face flushed red with shame and anger, his eyes flashing with intense humiliation. He said loudly: “Let me go, and we’ll call it… even!”
“Heh.” Qin Li grinned sharply: “Too late!”
Crack!
A crisp sound of breaking bone rang out.
Gao Shitong let out a shrill, horrifying scream.
Whoosh!
All the onlookers gasped in shock, standing frozen like statues, completely stunned.
Who would’ve thought this young man in fine clothes would be so merciless—acting without giving anyone a chance to react!
Heavens… that was… that was the Great Green Gang, the ones even the Second Prince couldn’t provoke!
This guy really had a death wish!
As Gao Shitong screamed, Du Ziteng, who had stepped outside, turned deathly pale, muttering: “It’s over… this time it’s really over…”
Qin Li tossed Gao Shitong onto the ground and said calmly to Du Ziteng: “Get lost. If you dare cause trouble here again, it won’t end as simply as this.”
When a ruler is insulted, his subjects must die. One of Du Ziteng’s guards couldn’t take it anymore and roared angrily: “You foolish idiot! Even if you’re a Heavenly Rank expert, don’t think you’ll leave the Imperial Capital alive!”
Smack!
Everyone saw a blur; the guard’s cheek quickly swelled up.
“Too much talk,” Qin Li said indifferently, already back at the shop entrance, his lips curled slightly.
He’s insane!
At that moment, the only thought in everyone’s mind was this one.
