Gangs (1)

However, although this matter was incidental, he didn't want to do it for these ordinary people. This place belonged to them, and if they wanted to take it back, they had to stand up for themselves and fight those gangsters. Otherwise, if they encountered the same situation again, they would probably just have to wait to die here.

Therefore, he planned to spend some time getting the people to stand up completely, to muster the courage to fight against those guys.

"Okay, but you need to hurry, otherwise, who knows how many people will die." Ren Fang nodded slightly upon hearing this, not objecting to Fanxin's approach. She thought Fanxin's actions were quite good.

"Don't worry! I'll take care of it quickly," Fanxin nodded and said.

Then, without further ado, they looked around the island, examining this and that. Their purpose was to investigate the situation on the island.

Fanxin and his companions' actions were naturally discovered by the gangsters who controlled the island. However, they didn't immediately attack them. The reason for this was that the man in black who had confronted Fanxin earlier had run back and told their boss everything he had seen and heard.

Upon hearing this, their leader hesitated and didn't make a decision immediately, worried that he might have offended some powerful figures.

"Boss, what do you think we should do? That kid is incredibly arrogant and thinks he owns no one. He's leading his men, wandering around the island as if this is his territory," the sleazy-looking man in black said, kneeling on the ground.

He was filled with both anger and fear, because just now, the enemy had wiped out all of them, including the cannon, with a single move. If he hadn't run fast, he would probably be a cold corpse by now.

"Damn it, which pirate crew is this? I've never heard of them before!" A tall man sat in a grand chair, wearing a black suit and a black top hat, with a cigar dangling from his lips, his brows furrowed, and said.

He was the leader of this gang, named Kunlong. Several months ago, he and his men took over the island. The reason he wanted to seize the island was because it was rich in minerals, and many things required minerals. By controlling the island, he could deliberately drive up prices and make a fortune.

He had indeed made a lot of money over the past few months. This island was the only place in this sea area rich in minerals! Unless others didn't want the minerals, they had no choice but to accept his demands.

But could those merchants refuse it? Without ore, they couldn't manufacture their products, and that would mean huge losses for them.

So they had no choice but to suppress their urge to curse and buy ore from here at high prices. However, although they continued to buy from here, the amount they purchased was decreasing.

They are preparing to purchase ore from elsewhere, although the location is farther away and the cost is higher, it will still be much less than what they are paying here.

However, the merchants couldn't give up on this place in the short term. Their customers needed a lot of things urgently, and if they traveled far to purchase the ore, it would inevitably delay delivery. Delaying delivery would incur hefty penalties.

Therefore, Kunlong can still make a fortune in the near future.

Just as he was feeling smug, someone dared to trespass on his territory, disregarding their rules. Kunlong was naturally furious. This was a place he had built himself!

Upon hearing the news, he initially wanted to lead his brothers to rush over and wipe out the pirate crew. However, when his subordinates told him that those guys had special abilities and destroyed all their cannonballs in one move, he became somewhat uneasy.

If that pirate crew is very powerful, he will definitely suffer a great loss if he rushes in recklessly. In that case, all his efforts over the past few months in this place will be wasted.

However, after carefully examining all the bounty posters, he found absolutely no information about that pirate crew.

Therefore, he was conflicted. He didn't know whether he should go or not.

"Boss Kunlong, let's summon them! Since they're here, we can't escape them no matter what. If we can sit down and talk, as long as we keep things within reasonable limits, there shouldn't be any problems," a man in a suit standing next to Kunlong said immediately, seeing his boss's predicament.

He was as tall as Kunlong, with a cigarette dangling from his lips. His hair was curly, he wore black sunglasses, and held a sniper rifle in his hand. At this moment, he was cleaning his gun.

He was Kunlong's right-hand man, named Lin Haicheng, a very skilled sniper. His sniper rifle was excellent, with a range exceeding 3,000 meters, approaching 3,500 meters. With this rifle, he could launch attacks from more than 3,000 meters away. As long as the target appeared, he could almost always hit it, never missing a shot.

"That makes sense. Alright, A Fei, go and invite them for me!" Kunlong agreed, finding the suggestion reasonable.

This place belongs to him, and unless he abandons it, he has no way to escape that pirate crew. However, he will absolutely not give it up, because by occupying this island, he can make a fortune without doing anything. If he gives it up, he will lose a huge fortune.

"Yes, boss." A man wearing a red vest and covered in tattoos nodded, then immediately left the room to find Fanxin.

"Alright, everyone get ready. If a fight really breaks out, we'll wipe out that pirate crew together," Kunlong said, glancing at everyone.

Upon hearing this, the brothers nodded in agreement, then picked up their weapons and went outside to prepare.

"Boss Kunlong, I've gone to prepare too," Lin Haicheng said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll open all the windows in the room later. You can shoot as much as you want without any worries," Kunlong nodded and said with a smile.

He had personally witnessed Lin Haicheng's marksmanship; otherwise, he wouldn't have recruited him. It was precisely because of Lin Haicheng's superb marksmanship, hitting the bullseye every time, that he valued him so highly.

"Thank you very much, Boss Kunlong." Lin Haicheng nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then he left the room.

After leaving the room, he went to the nearby high ground. Once there, he set up his sniper rifle, loaded it, and then lay prone on the ground, watching the room where his boss was, waiting patiently.

After leaving, A Fei led a large group of people towards where Fanxin was.

Fanxin did not conceal their whereabouts, so A Fei easily found Fanxin and his companions.

A Fei glanced at Fanxin and said, "You're the captain of that pirate crew, right?"

Fanxin nodded noncommittally and said, "Yes, my name is Fanxin, captain of the Heavenly Soul Pirates. Who are you? And what brings you here with so many people?"

He smiled as he looked at A Fei and the others, because he knew that these guys had come for what purpose: to invite him to negotiate. They had been loitering around here for a long time, and the gang members hadn't come over yet, so he knew that the gang members were hesitant.

Previously, they had fought with gang members, and Langyue had dispatched them with a single move. Langyue's strength had greatly intimidated the gang forces. Therefore, they dared not act rashly, fearing they might run into a brick wall.

Fanxin was also fortunate to be kept in a state of paranoia by these gangsters. Because the gangsters didn't come around, he had a lot more time to talk to the ordinary people!

He told the laborers that they would deal with the gang leaders later, but they would take care of the lower-ranking members.

First, the common people disagreed, fearing they would be killed by gang members. However, after Fanxin took action and eliminated some of the gang members, they gained some courage.

Fanxin Xin took the opportunity to persuade them again, and the people all nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the people agreed, Fanxin finally breathed a sigh of relief. If they were willing to rise up in resistance, everything would be much easier. If they didn't agree, even if he drove away those gangsters, he wouldn't feel any sense of accomplishment.

Fanxin instructed them to secretly contact other villagers and prepare to take action later. The villagers did not hesitate and began to secretly pass on the message.

Although Fanxin didn't know how well the news had spread, he was certain that the vast majority of people were already prepared for battle.

Everything was waiting for his orders.

"Hmph, our boss wants to invite you over. He wants to have a serious talk with you." A Fei said with a smile, "Dare you go?" He was using reverse psychology, trying to force Fanxin to agree.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Fanxin snorted lightly and said, "You lead the way!"

A Fei grinned, then turned and led the way.

"Little Black, Langyue, you two stay here. When we start fighting later, you two help these people here, understand?" Fanxin said in a low voice.

Although he encouraged these civilians to resist, they were not combatants after all, and compared to the gang members who frequently risked their lives, they were much weaker.

If they don't lend a hand, the civilian population will suffer heavy casualties. They are already weak, and now, after enduring so much hardship, they are exhausted. Defeating the gang members will be no easy task.

With Langyue and the Little Black Cat here to help, the lives of ordinary people will be much easier.

Upon hearing this, Langyue and the Little Black Cat nodded slightly, having no objections.

Fanxin Xin, holding Ren Fang's hand, followed A Fei and the others towards the seat where the gang leader was sitting.

Half an hour later, they crossed a wide cement road and arrived at the foot of a tall building.

"Go in! Our boss is waiting for you inside," A Fei said, pushing open the door and stepping aside.

"Hmph, thanks." Fanxin smiled, then swiftly kicked out, sending A Fei flying more than ten meters away. A Fei's face made intimate contact with a wall. A moment later, he landed on the ground, looking quite miserable.

His nose was flattened, he had lost many teeth, his mouth was full of blood, and he spoke haltingly and unclearly.

Despite the pain, A Fei stood up and called to his brothers to attack Fanxin and Ren Fang. Upon hearing this, the brothers all drew their guns, aimed at Fanxin and Ren Fang, and prepared to strike.

"So many people! Looks like this is a trap," Fanxin said with a smile.

"So, how about it? Were we all taken care of?" Ren Fang asked with a smile. She wasn't worried at all, because these people were simply not in the same league as her. She could handle them all by herself.

"Of course, what would I do with it?" Fanxin smiled and said, "The bottom part is for you. Remember, be careful and don't hurt yourself."

Ren Fang nodded, indicating that she understood.

Fanxin Xin ignored him, pushed open the door, and went upstairs. Soon after, he arrived at the room where the gang leader was.

At this moment, Kunlong was sitting there leisurely drinking tea, with more than a dozen men in black standing upright beside him, like javelins.

Without any hesitation, Fanxin walked over and sat down in front of Kunlong, saying, "You're the leader here, aren't you?"

"That's right, my name is Kunlong." Kunlong nodded and said, "What brings you here? Why are you disrupting my order? Don't you know this is my territory?"

"I don't know, I've never heard of your faction," Fanxin said. "I only recognize the Navy, the Revolutionary Army, the Four Emperors, and the Shichibukai. As for other factions, I generally can't remember them because they're not qualified for me to remember them."

He was telling the truth, because these were his goals for the future. Only by winning them could he become famous and deter anyone from bullying him.

As for these minor factions, he might have remembered them at the time. However, he would most likely have forgotten them afterward, because they were insignificant.

"Kid, you've got some nerve, talking down to us like that." Kunlong glanced at Fanxin and said, "Believe it or not, I'll beat you to a pulp."

"I don't believe it," Fanxin said with a smile.

He has a body of diamond; these bullets are useless against him. They're dreaming if they think they can riddle him with holes.

"Is that so? Then let's give it a try!" Kunlong snorted upon hearing this. Then, he waved his hand, and the dozen or so men behind him immediately drew their guns and aimed them all at Fanxin.

"Heh heh, kid, you shouldn't have come. Now that you've come, you're doomed." Kunlong was overjoyed to see his men successfully take Fanxin hostage. He felt he could now completely control Fanxin.

However, faced with Kunlong's smugness, Fanxin showed no fear or panic. He poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it leisurely, as if those pointed at him were toys, not guns. His calm demeanor infuriated Kunlong.
