Sending Him to See the Great Holy Spirit

Peter surrendered and begged for mercy.

He was completely convinced, there was nothing left to argue about.

If Gaoxin had relied on some underhanded trick, given Peter's fiery temper, he might not have accepted it.

Even if his balls were crushed, he would have gone to the Silver Tower to repair and enhance himself, and then sought revenge.

But Gaoxin had fought and defeated fifteen people fair and square, and then beaten him into this state. Peter really couldn't be stubborn anymore.

"You're amazing... Gao... Boss Gao..."

"Stop hitting me, I surrender."

Hearing this, Gaoxin lowered his foot.

Meanwhile, the hundred-person free-for-all also ended with the conclusion of this fight.

"Haha! Brother Xin Ku won!" Sule was the first to exclaim in surprise.

Then came Qiao Long and the others. They had only fought to a draw, and were even starting to struggle. Seeing Peter fall, they quickly shouted provocatively.

The morale of Peter's followers instantly plummeted to rock bottom.

"How can this be? Boss Peter actually lost?"

"No, it's not just Peter..."

"He took down sixteen people by himself!"

"This newcomer is too strong. No wonder he's the one who killed Daishan Beida. Who said he relied on luck?"

A group of people completely lost the will to fight and threw down their weapons.

They weren't fighting for their lives or any core interests.

They had mainly followed Peter to establish their authority. But instead of succeeding, they were completely subdued by Gaoxin.

Naturally, there was no point in continuing the fight.

In fact, most of them already realized that from today onwards, the leader of the Glass People in the Redemption Squad had changed.

"Are you really convinced? I don't want anyone to trip me up behind my back later," Gaoxin said, his face not flushed and his breathing steady.

He had received Sule's special medicinal bath, and some of the bruises and minor injuries on his body were already slowly healing.

Peter got up, his face bruised and swollen, and chuckled, "I hate dirty tricks the most. If you want to fight, fight honorably. I admit defeat."

"From today on, I'll listen to you. Anyone who dares to cause trouble for you, I'll deal with them first!"

Gaoxin asked indifferently, "What if the Wa people cause trouble for me?"

Peter paused, as if realizing something. He stared at Gaoxin solemnly, then said bitterly, "Boss, I want to live."

Gaoxin scanned everyone present. "Who the hell doesn't want to live?"

"You're all slaves, and you're still fighting amongst yourselves, competing for dominance. Is that meaningful?"

"Even if you won today, so what? Tomorrow you won't have to go into the game and fight for the Wa people? You still might disappear any day."

A group of people remained silent, their hearts filled with bitterness.

They knew their predicament, but what could they do?

The Yakuza's power was too immense, far beyond what a group of Glass People could resist.

All those who had resisted or tried to escape had failed.

They could only try to regain some dignity by lashing out at other Glass People.

Just as the scene fell silent, a weak voice suddenly came from a torture rack, "Well said. So what do you plan to do?"

The speaker was the emaciated man hanging there. He was an ordinary member of Squad 12, and was now covered in bloody wounds.

Gaoxin glanced at him but said nothing.

At the same time, Qiao Long stepped out from the crowd and said loudly, "What else can we do? We have to focus on ourselves first."

As he spoke, he subtly shook his head at Gaoxin.

Clearly, this place was too crowded and noisy to say more.

Gaoxin understood and didn't pursue the topic further. He walked over to Captain 12.

The captain's pants were covered in blood, and he was still groaning on the ground.

He looked at Gaoxin in terror, not expecting Peter to lose this team battle.

"What do you want?" His voice became shrill with pain.

Gaoxin asked, "When you were recruiting new members, you took away a woman, didn't you?"

Captain 12 froze and repeatedly shook his head, "No, no!"

Peter heard this and immediately stepped forward, shouting, "How could there not be! Ono Shinsyo also brought a woman and gave her directly to you."

Captain 12 said agitatedly, "Boss Peter! I came here today for you, why are you helping an outsider!"

"You dare to say that!" Peter grabbed him. "When have I ever not let Qiao Long back down? You forced me into a full-scale war with them. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

He was actually quite angry, unable to express his grievances.

While he was arrogant, he didn't want a full-blown war with Qiao Long and his crew; their previous encounters were always minor skirmishes.

This time, because of Gaoxin, he proposed waiting at the execution grounds at night. He hadn't made any definitive statements, mainly wanting Gaoxin to witness his influence.

If he truly enjoyed mindless fighting, he would have acted at the hospital, not waited until nightfall.

Captain 12, seeing Peter standing beside Gaoxin and no longer siding with him, panicked.

"That woman is with me, so what?"

Gaoxin stared at him. "She's my person."

Captain 12 gritted his teeth. "Ono Shinsyo assigned her to me. If you want her, go ask the Wa people!"

Before Gaoxin could speak, Peter slapped him twice.

"If I win this time, you can take a few people with you... If I lose, you'll bring up the Wa people? Hand over the person, or I'll show you what happens!" Peter said, slapping him twice more.

Captain 12 said frantically, "My team is falling apart, it's no use forcing me!"

"Even if I give the person to you, they'll use her to settle debts, and she'll still never escape!"

Everyone's faces darkened, but it was indeed the case.

It was impossible for members of one team to be arbitrarily transferred to another. If quotas weren't met, and the Wa people checked the list, only the captain would remain, with all other members having fled to other teams to avoid debt. How could that be allowed?

So, usually, even when people were exchanged, it was one person for another.

"You want that woman, right? Fine, but you have to guarantee my team meets this month's quota, or she'll die with me!" Captain 12 seemed to have found leverage and became somewhat excited.

Gaoxin sighed. "Is it possible that I'll kill you first?"

Captain 12 gritted his teeth. "If someone dies outside the game, the Wa people will definitely intervene, and I'm still a captain! No matter who kills me, they'll have to pay with their life!"

Gaoxin stared at him. "Is that so? What if you try to escape?"

"What?" Captain 12 was startled.

Then he chuckled nervously. "How could I possibly escape? You want to take me out of the village to frame me? In that case, at least one person should die with me!"

At this moment, the emaciated man hanging on the execution rack suddenly said faintly, "There's no need to leave the village. As long as enough people hand you over to the Wa people to claim credit, proving you were about to escape, that will suffice."

Captain 12 became somewhat flustered but still said, "What kind of joke is this? Do you think Commander Ono is that easy to fool?"

The emaciated man said weakly, "With so many people pleading, the point isn't whether he's easy to fool, but whether you have value..."

"You know full well your team won't meet its quota this month, and as captain, you're solely responsible, so you decided to take a risk and flee in the dead of night."

"It's just that I wonder if your team members are your accomplices."

"If all else fails... I can be your accomplice! Hehehe..."

As he spoke, he stared intently at his captain, his gaze resolute. The meaning was clear: if it doesn't work, I'll take you down with me!

Hearing these terrifying words and the "we die together" aura, the dozen or so "egg-bursting" strongmen nearby were terrified and quickly said, "We're not accomplices, we can testify. Boss Peter, you can't do this to us."

Peter and Qiao Long could rally more than half of the Redemption Squad's Glass People, and they were all teams that consistently met their quotas.

If they were to do this, the chances of success were high, so they immediately made their stance clear.

"You guys..." Captain 12's face turned ashen.

It was only a high probability before, but now that even his own team members were exposing him, he was truly doomed.

Especially since he was far from meeting his quota this month, he was already a captain hanging by a thread.

"Idiot, if our team doesn't meet the quota, you'll die too!" Captain 12 glared at his team members.

Those "egg-bursting" strongmen said bitterly, "We can still try to make up the quota by entering the game. If we're deemed to have escaped, we're dead for sure."

Gaoxin smiled. "You're really that unpopular? You only care about yourself when escaping, no wonder your team members are exposing you."

"Don't be like this, I'll give her to you, I'll give her to you, alright!" Captain 12 could only bow his head and beg for mercy.

Gaoxin glanced at the man on the rack. "What's your name?"

The man gave a self-deprecating laugh. "Heart of Death."

"Someone whose heart has died wouldn't still be thinking of revenge," Gaoxin smiled.

Gaoxin said earnestly, "I once saw someone whose blood had run dry, whose arms were lost, whose flesh was destroyed, and whose head was even severed, still shouting for revenge."

The emaciated man scoffed. "Then he must have died."

Gaoxin nodded. "He died. I killed him, because he had become a demon."

"Perhaps his father never taught him that no matter what you become, never forget that you are, first and foremost, a person."

Everyone was astonished. Qiao Long knew Gaoxin was talking about Silver Hand, but the others didn't.

Hearing that someone could shout for revenge even after their head was cut off, what kind of monster was that? Could it be some powerful Radiator? Impossible, right? Gaoxin could kill a Radiator?

The emaciated man said with hatred, "First and foremost, a person... But some guys just aren't human."

Gaoxin deeply agreed. "Every person originates from the consciousness of the universe, and upon death, their consciousness returns to the universe. The process in between is life."

"If some people refuse to be human, then we should send them back to the embrace of Mother Universe."

Everyone was surprised that Gaoxin had started speaking so cryptically. Peter scratched his head and asked directly, "Boss Gao, what do we do with this guy?"

The scrawny man sneered, "Didn't I say? Send him back for re-forging!"

Captain 12 exclaimed, "What? You're handing me over! You're handing me over, why do you have to kill me?"

The scrawny man said gravely, "Someone like you will definitely doom the entire team. You'll use up all the public funds before you die."

"The team's lives aren't enough to cover such a deficit. It doesn't matter which team that woman transfers to."

"Only by replacing the captain of Team 12 can the remaining people have a chance to survive."

Captain 12's pupils contracted, "Who... who said that? I'll definitely earn redemption vouchers properly..."

The scrawny man chuckled, "Even if I die, I won't help you earn any more redemption vouchers, you dog."

"Are you out of your damn mind!" Captain 12 struggled violently.

But Peter understood immediately. He had the man dragged away and then said to Gaoxin, "Understood. Leave this person to me. Qiao Long, come with me. Let Commander Ono handle him."

Qiao Long glanced at Gaoxin, realizing he intended to unify all the smaller teams.

Captain 12 was a huge destabilizing factor; keeping him would only cause harm.

"Okay," Qiao Long nodded.

Unexpectedly, Gaoxin shook his head, "Qiao Long, only one group from you and Peter can go."

"I don't believe the Wa people are unaware of your respective organizational structures."

Hearing this, Peter was still confused, but Qiao Long's eyes narrowed slightly.

"That's right. If Peter and I bring everyone to point fingers at one person, it will only be counterproductive."

"This matter should be handled by me."

Ultimately, dealing with Captain 12 and replacing him for Team 12 was entrusted to Qiao Long.

"I'll go too. I can also help you bring out that Jin Meimei," the scrawny man said.

Qiao Long freed him from the rack. This man was also a member of Team 12, and it seemed he knew Meimei and her name.

He wiped the bloodstains from his face. Everyone could see he had a square face with thick eyebrows and large eyes, but also a hooked nose, giving him an appearance that was both upright and a little sinister.

He only had one ear, and a section of the ring finger on his left hand was missing. It was unclear if Captain had tortured him into mutilation.

Gaoxin asked, "You still haven't answered my first question."

The scrawny man left with Qiao Long, saying without looking back, "My name is Dongfang Yi, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner."

Gaoxin's eyes lit up, and the others were also surprised. Traditional Chinese medicine? Were people still studying that nowadays? What a waste of time!

p.s: Sorry.
