Qingyuan

"You're saying the Bear Strength Gang took the initiative to contact you?"

Inside the study, Chen Lixin, who had been abruptly summoned, recounted the entire process of hiring someone to deal with Li Fei, his voice trembling with apprehension.

When he heard that it was the Bear Strength Gang who had proactively approached Chen Lixin, Chen Yujing's eyes narrowed.

He abruptly stood up and walked over to Chen Lixin.

Slap! A resounding slap landed on Chen Lixin's face.

"Father?"

Chen Lixin covered his face, looking at his father in disbelief.

"Waste, you were used as a pawn and didn't even realize it!"

Chen Yujing berated him furiously.

"I..."

Chen Lixin wanted to explain.

"Shut up!"

Chen Yujing interrupted him without any courtesy:

"How did I teach you before? If you really want to deal with someone, you should use all your strength, leaving no loose ends, and not giving the other party any chance to turn the tables! But what about you? You didn't even investigate the situation clearly beforehand and acted blindly!"

"Father, I..."

"Alright, before you go to Martial University, you will stay at home and reflect on your mistakes, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. As soon as the school starts, you will immediately go to Martial University and report!"

Chen Yujing issued the order, then waved his hand to dismiss Chen Lixin.

After Chen Lixin left dejectedly, Chen Yujing summoned a manager: "Has the shipment of Exotic Beast materials for the third branch this quarter been delivered to the Tiger Sabre Gang?"

"Master, not yet."

"Go to the warehouse and tell them not to give the goods to the Tiger Sabre Gang for now. Find any excuse to delay it. I will talk to the third branch."

Chen Yujing said.

He wanted to let the Tiger Sabre Gang know that his son, Chen Yujing, was not someone who could be used casually.

"Yes, Master."

The manager acknowledged the order and left.

Wuping District, south of the city, is the old district of Xing City. It is not as prosperous as the new district, and it lacks the novelties that came with the Mingxin Reform, such as cinemas and trams.

The streets here are narrow, making it difficult for cars to enter. The most common vehicles on the streets are pedicabs.

It's a mixed bag here, and the security is relatively poor. The Tiger Sabre Gang started here.

From a small gang with only a few people to now dominating the entire Wuping District and becoming the largest gang in Xing City, the Tiger Sabre Gang only took sixteen years.

In a large courtyard in Wuping District, an old man with a kind face and gray hair was practicing his stances in the courtyard.

After finishing his stances, the old man walked to the stone table beside him and picked up the teacup on the table to drink tea.

A strong man in a black short shirt trotted to his side and whispered a few words.

"Understood, go and invite Master over."

The old man instructed.

His name is Yu Hu, and he is the leader of the Tiger Sabre Gang!

If you only looked at his appearance, outsiders would probably find it hard to imagine that such a kind-faced old man would be the leader of the largest gang in Xing City.

After a moment, a middle-aged man in a blue robe, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and with a scholarly air, walked over.

"Gang Leader."

"Sit."

The person who came was the Tiger Sabre Gang's Master, Zhang Mingze.

There were rumors that the Tiger Sabre Gang was able to become the largest gang in Xing City because of 'intelligence'.

'Zhi' is Zhang Mingze, 'Li' is Yu Hu.

"The Chen Family hasn't delivered this quarter's beast feed, saying there's a problem with the accounts and they need to be recalculated."

Yu Hu said.

As the number one gang in Xing City, the Tiger Sabre Gang doesn't have the legendary 'three thousand members,' but all members combined still number over a thousand.

To support so many people, they're involved in both overt and covert businesses, naturally having dealings with the Chen Family, the number one family in the area.

Among these, the most important business is trading beast feed.

To become a Martial Warrior, one must have an Implant, and Implants come from Exotic Beasts.

In this era, except for the top three grades of Exotic Beasts, the rest are basically raised by humans. Every force capable of nurturing its own Martial Warriors raises Exotic Beasts.

The Tiger Sabre Gang rose too quickly and lacks foundation, so they don't yet have the ability to nurture their own Martial Warriors.

Therefore, Yu Hu has been committed to raising Exotic Beasts in recent years, and buying custom beast feed from the Chen Family is for this purpose.

Now that the Chen Family isn't delivering on time, it will inevitably affect the Exotic Beasts raised by the Tiger Sabre Gang.

"Yes, I understand."

Zhang Mingze nodded, "Adao was a bit too careless with this matter."

Yu Hu hummed, took a sip of tea, and looked at Zhang Mingze: "Adao explained to me that the student he targeted this time, named Li Fei, is Hao Yi's student. Not only did he win the championship in the vocational school's graduation exam, but the Implant he used during the Embryo Nurturing Stage was also a Second Grade Upper Class Steel Armor. Adao thinks this person will be a threat in the future."

Zhang Mingze was obviously already aware of these things and wasn't surprised: "The commotion this time is so big not only because the son of an Overseeing Bureau squad leader was attacked, but also because of the Overseeing Bureau's internal dissatisfaction with the Tiger Sabre Gang. Judging from Huang Weiguang's attitude this time, he won't let us smoothly promote Wu Yihua."

Yu Hu frowned: "If it's not Wu Yihua who gets promoted, then the Overseeing Bureau..."

"Yes."

Zhang Mingze's eyes behind his glasses were deep, "Gang Leader, so that matter must be expedited, time waits for no one."

A flash of extreme ferocity flashed in Yu Hu's eyes, and his expression became stern.

At this moment, he was no longer a kind-faced old man, but the leader of the number one gang in Xing City: "In that case, I'll immediately send someone to apologize to the Chen Family and calm things down as soon as possible. As for Hao Yi..."

Zhang Mingze said: "It's best not to provoke Hao Yi for the time being. I'll tell Adao to compete with that Li Fei based on his own abilities."

Xing City under the night, lit by thousands of lights.

Back home, Li Fei completed his Embryo Nurturing training as usual.

This time, when he used the medicine, he also felt movement under the skin of his Implant, as if it wanted to break out, and the hunger he felt was even more obvious than last time.

According to Hao Yi, this is embryo movement. The more frequent and intense the embryo movement, the closer one is to the Body Breaking Stage.

Embryo movement also caused Li Fei to further increase the amount of medicine he used. The Withering Fire Pill, Embryo Nurturing Pill, and Golden Kui Balm he bought were almost used up and needed to be repurchased.

A bottle of Withering Fire Pill costs 58 yuan, and a full set of Embryo Nurturing Stage medicine costs 95 yuan, and Li Fei is already out of money...

"Tian Yu is going to Martial University soon, she definitely needs more money than I do. It's not appropriate to ask Uncle Li for money again, I still have to rely on myself."

Li Fei murmured.

He made a decision, put on his clothes, packed his things, walked out of the room and found Li Lei: "Uncle Li, the Military Academy's monthly exam is coming up soon, the teacher asked me to go for extra practice at night."

Li Lei didn't suspect anything and nodded:

"Okay, then be careful."

"Okay."

Then Li Fei went out.

Of course, he wasn't really going to the Military Academy for extra practice, but planned to go out under a different identity.

To make money and absorb more energy, the only method Li Fei had thought of before was—fighting in underground boxing matches.

He had already gleaned information about underground boxing from Li Lei: there are places to fight underground boxing in the Qingyuan District in the North of the City, and this place is not controlled by the Tiger Sabre Gang. Even the Tiger Sabre Gang has to abide by the rules of this place.

Li Fei wanted to try it out.

After going out, he first ran to a wig shop.

This is a new thing that has become popular in the past year. It was introduced from the West, and now many women on the streets of Xing City are wearing eye-catching wigs.

Li Fei bought himself a men's wig, and then bought a mask from a vendor.

Half an hour later, a person with long hair, a small braid, and a cyan demon mask walked into Qingyuan District.
