In a Fit of Rage, He Got Angry (6K)

If you weren't ruthless, you wouldn't be able to stand firm. That was the truth of the Soul Master world on Douluo Continent.

Tang Sect was only safe because it had opened in Shrek City and its way of making money did not conflict with other powers. Otherwise, it would have been swallowed whole long ago.

Take Huo Yuhao's Soul Offering Old Shop, for example. It was an honest business making money, yet several lives had already been taken because of it.

But if they had not killed those spies sent to probe the Soul Offering Old Shop's true circumstances, its situation would only have been even worse than it was now.

Even a force like the Soul Offering Old Shop, which merely resold Rare Metal and occasionally made Soul Guidance Devices for sale, had to establish its authority through killing. How much more so for those forces whose businesses could only hold their ground after beating each other bloody?

Take the sect behind Xu Sanshi. Did anyone really think that a force producing Mystic Water Pills was filled with nothing but kindhearted men and women?
