Iron Anchor Gang

The construction on Bloodfang Island had entered its normal rhythm, but there were simply too few workers. Jiang Chuan decided to post recruitment notices in the tavern. Anyone capable of labor could come to Bloodfang Island to work, earning thirty silver coins per month. This was already considered high pay, and Jiang Chuan believed no one would refuse such a lucrative job.

A few days later, Laurie arrived at Jiang Chuan's office, covered in injuries, to report: "Guild Master, our recruitment plan has been disrupted by the Iron Anchor Gang."

Jiang Chuan said coldly, "What happened? We and the Iron Anchor Gang have always minded our own business."

Laurie said fiercely, "Those scumbags from the Iron Anchor Gang are blocking everyone from coming to Bloodfang Island. They don't want us to threaten their position. We're expanding too quickly."

Jiang Chuan stood up from his chair and said, "Gather five hundred people in the plaza. We need to let the Iron Anchor Gang know that iron is forged from iron!"

Soon after, Laurie arrived at the plaza with five hundred men. Jiang Chuan distributed firearms to everyone; these were all the guns Bloodfang Island possessed. Jiang Chuan looked at the assembled crowd and said, "Those scumbags from the Iron Anchor Gang have already defecated on our heads! Can you tolerate a group of people riding on your necks and defecating?!"

"Kill those scumbags!"

"Get them!"

Jiang Chuan picked up the Hextech Rifle and looked at everyone. "Tonight, we're going to raid their nest. Everyone get ready. We're in for a tough fight tonight."

Jiang Chuan studied the information on the Iron Anchor Gang. Their stronghold was located within a casino, which had earned them a considerable amount of money. The casino was fortified like a fortress, but Jiang Chuan's target wasn't the casino itself.

The leader of the Iron Anchor Gang, Bourne, and Jones, was a man who enjoyed the finer things. Every night, he would go to the Red Light District to enjoy himself with escorts before returning to the casino. The Red Light District was not close to the casino, so Jones was always accompanied by many bodyguards. Jiang Chuan planned to kill him while he was indulging in his pleasures. Meanwhile, Laurie would lead the five-hundred-man squad to the casino and wipe out the rest of them. Jiang Chuan had provided enough explosives for them to blow the casino to the heavens.

Jiang Chuan equipped everyone with firearms, bullets, and explosives. Five hundred fully armed men would be enough to give the Iron Anchor Gang a serious headache.

Night fell, and the sea breeze tonight was stronger than usual, as if bidding farewell to the Iron Anchor Gang. Jiang Chuan summoned Pyke and cast Purification Technique on him.

Pyke looked at Jiang Chuan and said, "We meet again, Summoner. What trouble have you run into this time?"

Jiang Chuan smiled, "You can add another person to your list."

Pyke shook his head, "You know, that's all the work of that damned Fish."

Jiang Chuan patted Pyke's shoulder, "That Fish will stay away from you. We have a mission tonight: to take down a gluttonous fool."

Pyke chuckled, "I'm good at this kind of thing. When do we move?"

Jiang Chuan checked his watch, "Let's say twelve-thirty. We'll be there at twelve. It's still early. How is that Fish doing?"

Pyke shook his head, "It still appears in my mind from time to time, but it's much better than before, thanks to your Purification Technique."

In the game, Purification was a skill that removed crowd control and negative status effects. It was already astonishing to Jiang Chuan that it could silence the voice of the Fish in Pyke's mind.

Jiang Chuan smiled, "After some time, you can come live on Bloodfang Island. I'll slowly help you solve your problems."

Pyke looked at the moon and smiled, "Can I still be considered a normal person?"

Jiang Chuan patted Pyke's shoulder, "If you were in my hometown, your abilities would be something many people dream of. Those people are simply afraid of you."

With that, Jiang Chuan took out some meticulously cooked meat and said, "Come, try my cooking."

Pyke ate the chunks of meat expressionlessly.

Jiang Chuan asked, "How is it?"

Pyke smiled, "Good, much tastier than those fish. I never ate anything this delicious even when I was alive."

Jiang Chuan chuckled, "Then you'll have a feast from now on."

Laurie ran over, "Guild Master, the brothers are all ready. We can set off anytime. Hiss!"

Laurie was startled by Pyke. Pyke said, "Don't worry, buddy. I'm very clear-headed now. I won't hurt you."

Jiang Chuan smiled, "You'll be meeting often from now on. It's good to get used to each other in advance."

Laurie exclaimed in surprise, "Lady Beard above, Guild Master, you can not only control Nautilus, but you can also get Pyke to join us! My god, you're practically a god!"

Jiang Chuan waved his hand, "Just you know about this. Don't leak it to the other brothers."

Laurie bowed solemnly, "Don't worry, Guild Master. I, Laurie, am known for my tight lips."

Jiang Chuan checked the time and said, "It's about time. Gather the brothers and let's go!"

Laurie gathered everyone participating in the operation. Everyone boarded the ship and slowly landed in Bilgewater.

Bourne and Jones were drinking in a tavern in the Red Light District. Jones looked at the liquid in his wine glass and said to his subordinate, "How is the Bloodfang Gang situation being handled?"

The bodyguard chuckled, "Boss, the Bloodfang Gang can't recruit anyone now. We can take Bloodfang Island by force in a few days. Those losers don't deserve such a good place."

Jones downed the wine in his hand and said menacingly, "Those damned guys have occupied such a prime location for so many years. It's time they made way."

The Iron Anchor Gang had also been expanding aggressively lately, but the casinos were no longer enough for them, so they set their sights on Bloodfang Island.

It was a vast and easily defensible island, and its owner had just died, leaving only some remnants struggling on it. It was undoubtedly the best place.

Initially, Jones wasn't sure if the Bloodfang Gang was wiped out. But after his subordinate told him a few days ago that the Bloodfang Gang was recruiting members for fifty silver coins a month, Jones finally made up his mind to attack Bloodfang Island!

However, Jones was not a foolish person. He had his subordinates intercept people going to Bloodfang Island to join them. He couldn't let these people become his enemies.

Jones enjoyed a massage from a maid. Seeing that it was about time, Jones prepared to get up and return to the casino.

Leaving the Red Light District, Jones tightened his clothes and cursed, "This damned weather! Is it trying to freeze me to death?"

Jiang Chuan looked through Roland's memories and confirmed it was Jones. He then said to Pyke, "It's up to you, Pyke."

Pyke took out his harpoon and smiled, "With just these few people, I don't even bother to put them in my eyes."

A few seconds later, Pyke walked back with a dripping harpoon. "Where to now? These people were simply no match for us."

Jiang Chuan gripped his gun tightly and said, "To the casino. Laurie should be done by now too."

Just as Jiang Chuan thought, Laurie was already done. Laurie arrived at the casino with five hundred men. Looking at the people inside, Laurie frowned. Laurie raised his gun and fired a shot, shouting, "The Bloodfang Gang is here for revenge! Anyone not involved, get out quickly!"

Donahue also participated in this operation. He was a sniper positioned behind Laurie. While Laurie was evacuating bystanders, Donahue kept a close eye on the casino managers. In just a short moment, he had already wounded three people who were trying to draw their weapons.

Laurie ordered two hundred barrels of explosives to be brought in. After the barrels were arranged, Laurie roared, "Everyone, behave yourselves! If these explosives go off, it won't be fun. Now, all Iron Anchor Gang members, get outside and squat down with your hands on your heads!"

A few people tried to resist along the way, but they were all taken down by Donahue. Laurie went up and stabbed one of them to death, cursing, "Not behaving? I'll kill you! If you're still not behaving when the Guild Master arrives, this will be your fate!"
