Wu Gang Colludes with the Enemy

Hua Qiang put the gun he had snatched into his storage bag. He thought the weapon would be good for his parents to have for self-defense.

He turned back toward Jipi, who was now utterly terrified and trembling uncontrollably.

"B-big brother, don't kill me! I-I can be your dog, I'll risk my life for you!"

These people, who had witnessed Hua Qiang's methods firsthand and were lucky to be alive, desperately begged for mercy.

"Big Brother, spare us! We're willing to recognize you as our boss and risk our lives for you!"

"I have an 80-year-old mother at home, and a two-year-old infant that needs feeding. I can't die!"

"I'm the pillar of my family. If I die, my entire family of four or five will starve to death!"

"Boss, I haven't even gotten married yet, and I've never even been with a woman. Please spare me?"

"If you spare my life this time, I promise to turn over a new leaf and become a new person, no longer someone people hate and despise!"

"..."

This person in front of them was too terrifying. His actions were decisive, ruthless, and heartless. He didn't seem like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man at all. Compared to them, who had been living in the gray areas and living life on the edge for years, he felt more like a hardened gangster.

They couldn't understand why the Jackal Gang had provoked such a god of death.

Hua Qiang stood before Jipi and said coldly, "This morning, you beat someone outside the slaughterhouse. Who ordered you to do it?"

"Who was the employer?"

"Speak!"

Jipi's head felt like it had been struck by a heavy hammer, ringing with a dull thud.

So that's where the problem lay.

He was practically asking for death!

Beating one person had brought forth a god of death, who had uprooted their entire Jackal Gang. Except for these survivors, everyone else was dead.

Where had this damned second-in-command found such a business that brought impending doom?

Jipi silently cursed the ancestors of the now-deceased second-in-command countless times before tremblingly replying:

"B-big brother, it was a mission assigned to us by the second-in-command. He told us to teach someone a lesson at the slaughterhouse and demanded that we hit hard."

"Big brother, we truly didn't know that person was connected to you. If you beat us to death, we still wouldn't dare do such a thing."

"Where is your second-in-command?" Hua Qiang asked bitterly.

A burly man pointed to a bloody and mangled corpse beside him and said, "This is our second-in-command, Li Yong. You already killed him, boss."

He'd messed up. He'd gotten too carried away with the killing and forgotten to interrogate the gang leader.

He was still too young and impulsive.

Hua Qiang frowned and then asked, "Do you know who the employer is?"

"I... I know. His name is Wu Gang. He owns a shipping company, and he's the chairman of that company!"

Jipi's mind was racing desperately as he tried to save his own life. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said urgently, "Big brother, I have a piece of information here. I wonder if big brother is interested?"

"Oh? Let's hear it!" Hua Qiang felt a flicker of interest.

"If the information is valuable, can you spare my life, big brother?" Jipi tried to bargain.

"I was just following orders. Some things are done out of necessity, not by our own will!"

"Yes, yes, boss. We were all just following orders. If we didn't do it, we'd face severe punishment from the gang!"

"Stop rambling and speak quickly!"

"Yes, yes, big brother. I accidentally discovered that his shipping company has dealings with Sakura Country. Quite a few people from Sakura Country are entering our Hua Country through their shipping channels."

"There are also Sakura Country nationals hidden within our Modu Base. Those people specialize in assassination operations."

"It seems their assassination targets are elite talents from various schools, especially students who have advanced to become Martial Artists."

Holy crap!

Hua Qiang let out a curse. This was blatant treason!

The information Jipi provided was truly shocking!

This matter needed to be reported to the Martial Arts Association immediately. They had to act quickly to find and eliminate these rats.

Otherwise, who knew how many people would fall prey to their schemes.

Hua Qiang couldn't help but worry about Ye Bingxue.

Among the newly certified Martial Artists, Ye Bingxue was a standout. The more radiant she was, the more attention she would attract from these rats.

That made her even more dangerous.

"Big brother, is this information useful to you?"

Hua Qiang nodded. "Yes!"

"Then can you spare my life, big brother?"

"No!"

"Ugh... How can you do this? This information is critical, relating to the safety and future of the people of Hua Country. Can't it at least buy me my life?"

Heh!

Hua Qiang coldly sneered twice.

"Information is information. Your intel is indeed significant and could earn considerable merit, but here, it cannot absolve you from your path to death!"

"The one thing you should never have done was to lay hands on my father and grievously injure him. That's why I can't let you go."

He extended his hand, and a large saber appeared. Before the men could react, he swiftly decapitated them all.

A notification sound of Slaughter Points being credited chimed in his mind:

Slaughter Points +1.

Slaughter Points +1.

He was joking. These were Slaughter Points; how could he possibly let them go?

Furthermore, these people had injured his father. If he couldn't kill them all, he wouldn't be able to get past this hurdle himself.

Enemies, how could he possibly let them off?

Hua Qiang scoured the Jackal Gang's base and managed to find over two million in cash, along with gold bars, jade, agate, diamonds, and more.

He stuffed all this wealth into his Storage Bag.

Consider it compensation from these scoundrels for what they did to his father!

Not taking this windfall would be a crime against himself!

Emerging from there, he felt refreshed and revitalized.

His great revenge was achieved, and he had gained nearly 200 Slaughter Points. For him now, this was a considerable income.

Not long after he left, the Martial Arts Association sent specialized personnel to clean up the mess.

When Zhang Xiaofeng received the news from Hua Qiang, he was greatly shocked and simultaneously filled with excitement.

If this matter was reported, he would definitely get credit!

He had truly benefited from Hua Qiang's good fortune this time.

He hurriedly rushed to the chairman's office and reported the situation to Mo Wuqiong.

Mo Wuqiong was also greatly shocked, and then extremely enraged.

This Wu Gang was too damn much of a scoundrel, colluding with the enemy and betraying his country. He could not be spared!

Wu Gang hadn't expected that merely seeking revenge for his son, he had instructed Secretary Zhang to arrange for someone to teach a lesson to the scoundrel who had grievously injured his son and caused him immense suffering.

The people he sent to handle this were incompetent. Not only did they skirt the issue, but they also brought about his utter ruin.

When the Martial Arts Association's city defense squad appeared before him and took him away, he was still in a state of bewilderment.

He didn't know what crime he had committed or which law he had broken.

Upon arriving at a secret detention facility, when the interrogator revealed his connection to the Sakura Country nationals, he completely collapsed.

With the matter exposed, there was no room for his denials.

To save his life, to atone for his crimes, and to lessen his punishment, he spilled everything like beans from a bamboo tube, confessing all the hideouts of the Sakura Country nationals he knew.

What followed was a campaign to eliminate traitors.

All the Sakura Country infiltrators in Modu Base were captured and subsequently executed.

For this, Mo Wuqiong received commendations from Hua Country's high command and the military.
