Bloody Harbor Ghost

After seeing Yasuo off, Jiang Chuan began his plan. If he wanted to establish a foothold in Bilgewater, the first step was to build a gang or take over an existing one...

That evening, Jiang Chuan went to a tavern and said to the proprietress, "Proprietress, why don't I see Johnson today?"

The proprietress was cleaning tables and said, "He hasn't been here in a while. I don't know when he'll pay back the money he owes me. That scoundrel. What about you? When will you pay me back?"

Jiang Chuan took out a gold coin and placed it on the table. "Consider this a partial payment. I'll pay the rest slowly. What, you're not going to pour me a drink?"

The proprietress happily accepted the gold coin and gave Jiang Chuan a large mug of beer, saying, "What, where did you get that from?"

Jiang Chuan drank his beer and said, "That's none of your business. I want to talk business with you."

This gold coin was naturally borrowed from Old Jack. Jiang Chuan clearly remembered how pained Old Jack looked when he lent it to him.

Jiang Chuan's words piqued the proprietress's interest. She looked at him and said, "What business? What kind of business can you, a pauper, discuss with me?"

Jiang Chuan took a sip of beer, his eyes flashing sharply. "I heard the Bloodfang Gang has a deal coming up. I want to know what they're trading and the detailed time and place. I'll give you forty percent if it succeeds. How about it?"

Jiang Chuan, of course, wasn't unprepared. The proprietress of this tavern was an intelligence expert. There was nothing in Bilgewater she didn't know.

The proprietress chuckled charmingly, "Roland, even if you know, what can you do? The Bloodfang Gang might not be a big gang, but they have a bunch of gunners. What are you going to use to intercept the goods?"

Jiang Chuan, as a young man, almost lost control looking at the charming proprietress. Although she was past her prime, she still possessed a captivating allure. She must have been a real heartbreaker in her youth.

Jiang Chuan took a big gulp of beer, suppressing his lust. He took out a harpoon and smiled, "You don't recognize this harpoon, do you?"

The proprietress's face turned pale with shock. Of course, she recognized the harpoon. It was Pyke's harpoon. Everyone in the Slaughter Docks knew the name of that drowned ghost. The proprietress was also a woman of the world, and she quickly regained her composure. "No one can cooperate with that lunatic. He's not human anymore!"

Jiang Chuan put away the harpoon and smiled, "That's not your concern. How about it? You just need to provide the information, and you'll get forty percent of the money. This is a good deal."

The proprietress pondered for a moment and held up five fingers. "Fifty percent! The Bloodfang Gang isn't easy to deal with, and I need to take risks too."

Jiang Chuan finished his beer in one gulp. "Fine, it's a deal!"

The proprietress smiled. "You're lucky. Tonight at midnight, at the third mooring east of the Slaughter Docks, three hundred meters away. I hope you succeed."

Jiang Chuan smiled. "Then you'll be making a fortune tonight!"

The proprietress leaned close to Jiang Chuan's ear and whispered, "Then I'll be waiting for you."

The warmth from her breath was unbearable, and he was hard... Jiang Chuan put away the harpoon and left the tavern. There was still some time before the transaction, so he could formulate a perfect plan...

After leaving the tavern, Jiang Chuan walked into a small alley and spoke to the air in front of him, "Midnight, at the third mooring east of the Slaughter Docks, three hundred meters away. It's up to you tonight, Pyke!"

Jiang Chuan had summoned Pyke before going to the tavern. Pyke was not in his right mind and tried to kill Jiang Chuan when he was summoned. Jiang Chuan knew that another creature was controlling Pyke's mind, so he used Cleanse on Pyke. In the game, Cleanse was a summoner spell, and Jiang Chuan could naturally use it. As he expected, after being Cleansed, Pyke temporarily regained his senses.

Pyke's figure emerged from the shadows and said, "Summoner, I don't know how you drove away that damned fish, but I like being with you."

This sentence gave Jiang Chuan goosebumps. He waved his hand and said, "Although I know the location of the Bloodfang Gang's transaction this time, they have many people. Can you handle them all?"

Pyke brandished his harpoon and said, "I don't think they can kill a dead man again."

Jiang Chuan took out an old pocket watch and checked the time. Of course, it belonged to Old Jack. If Jiang Chuan hadn't given him an extra gold coin after finishing the job, Old Jack wouldn't have lent it to him so easily.

The hands steadily stopped at twelve. Jiang Chuan put away the watch, licked his lips, and said with surging battle intent, "It's started. Let me see the power of Bilgewater's Mauser Guns. Don't disappoint me, Bloodfang Gang!"

"Johnny! You damn fool! Move this box of gunpowder gently! If this explodes, it can blow up half the dock!"

A total of twenty Bloodfang Gang members, fully armed, stood by the dock. A ship from Piltover was moored nearby, and a group of people were moving cargo back and forth on the ship.

Jiang Chuan and Pyke crawled nearby, watching the people below like two hungry wolves.

Jiang Chuan was waiting. Although the box of gunpowder was tempting, he could concoct it himself. What he wanted to see was Piltover's firearms!

The ship's captain took a long box from the ship and said to the leader of the Bloodfang Gang, "Buddy, I went to a lot of trouble to get this gun. Do you know about Hextech?"

The leader of the Bloodfang Gang chuckled, "I knew I could count on you. You can even get Hextech firearms. How much is this gun?"

The captain held up five fingers and said, "Five thousand gold coins. It's worth the price."

The leader of the Bloodfang Gang chuckled, "No problem. We've spent a fortune expanding our arsenal this time."

Jiang Chuan waved to Pyke, signaling the plan to begin!

Pyke's nickname, "Bloody Harbor Ghost," wasn't given in vain. Just like his name, Pyke moved like a ghost, appearing and disappearing without a trace. By the time Jiang Chuan waved, he had already killed three people.

The leader of the Bloodfang Gang was caught off guard by Pyke's sudden appearance. Everyone in Bilgewater knew that Pyke never left anyone alive, but he usually operated in the slaughter district. Why was he seen at the dock today?

The leader of the Bloodfang Gang roared, "What are you all standing around for? Open fire! Kill this filthy drowned rat!"

Gunfire erupted on the dock, but as Pyke had said, they couldn't kill a dead man!

Half an hour later, there were no living people left on the dock. The ground covered in corpses made Jiang Chuan feel very uncomfortable. As a modern person, it was impossible not to react to seeing so many dead bodies. Jiang Chuan suppressed the urge to vomit and walked onto the dock.

Pyke looked at Jiang Chuan's pale face and said in surprise, "Summoner, you haven't killed anyone before?"

Jiang Chuan smiled weakly, "I haven't even killed a fish."

Pyke chuckled, "Unbelievable. Someone with your magical abilities has never even killed a fish. But you'll get used to it in Bilgewater. Now let's see our spoils of war!"

Jiang Chuan tallied the goods from the Bloodfang Gang's transaction. Besides the Hextech rifle, there were five full boxes of gunpowder, five boxes of bombs, five boxes of Mauser Guns, and ten boxes of gold coins!

Jiang Chuan picked up a Mauser Gun and examined it carefully. The gun in his hand reminded him of a name: 98k.

The Mauser Gun in his hand used a classic bolt-action mechanism and smokeless gunpowder. Although its theoretical range was two thousand meters, its actual combat range was only about eight hundred meters. In human history, it was replaced after only a little over a decade of service, but in that era of highly developed industry, its service for more than ten years proved its value.

Jiang Chuan put down the Mauser Gun and picked up the Hextech rifle, examining it closely. Hextech was just something he knew about from game equipment. The actual parameters of Hextech were blank. Even Roland's memories were limited to hearing about Hextech firearms.

Looking at the Hextech rifle in his hands, its body was slender, very much in the steampunk style, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't quite. The scope was similar to the one in Caitlyn's hand, just a simple piece of glass. Its specific range was unknown, and the captain had only brought twenty rounds, not enough for Jiang Chuan to test its performance. However, Hextech was a fusion of technology and magic, so it probably wouldn't be too bad.

Jiang Chuan stood up and looked at the scattered loot. Even after giving a cut to the tavern owner, he would still make a hefty profit! Of course, Jiang Chuan definitely intended to keep the Hextech Rifle and the Mauser Gun for himself.

After dividing the loot, Jiang Chuan hid his share in a sewer near Old Jack's clinic before heading into the tavern. The establishment had just closed, and the owner was busy cleaning up.

Jiang Chuan walked to the bar and said, "One beer, the best you've got!"

The owner, swaying her slender waist, came over and poured Jiang Chuan a beer. Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "Five crates of gold coins, three crates of gunpowder. The gold coins are probably worth several thousand. I didn't count them, but you can have someone move them. The money I owe you should be covered, right?"

The owner's eyes widened as she looked at Jiang Chuan. In just half an hour, Jiang Chuan had managed to get his hands on the Bloodfang Gang's goods. This was quite an accomplishment in Bilgewater!

The owner immediately called her subordinates to move the goods and gunpowder. With a flirtatious gaze, she smiled at Jiang Chuan and said, "It's enough. Roland, can you tell me how you subdued Pyke?"

Jiang Chuan downed his beer in one gulp and chuckled, "A secret. The only secret in all of Bilgewater that you don't know." With that, Jiang Chuan put down his glass and walked out of the tavern. He still had many things to do tonight...
