In a Hurry to Get Married (Please Bookmark and Follow!)

The midday sun slid in through the blasted-open doorway.

The dim nightclub grew a little brighter.

"Gang! Gang leader!"

Groans came from outside the door.

"Who's got a death wish? Do you even know where you are?"

The young man who'd been hit over the head with a bottle had been looking for an outlet for his anger.

Seeing the brazen newcomer, he pointed at the person coming in through the door and cursed:

"Fuck!"

"You dare mess with the Azure Dragon Society?"

"You must be tired of living!"

But then—

Ge Qingwang grabbed him by the head and flung him aside.

He rolled across the floor and didn't stop until he crashed into the corner of a table.

"So you're an esteemed officer of the Security Bureau."

Ge Qingwang narrowed his eyes like a snake as he looked at Qin Annian, who'd barged into the nightclub and looked almost ridiculously young.

"But."

"Even an officer can't just go around damaging ordinary folks' property, can he?"

Qin Annian walked into the nightclub.

Behind him, members of the Azure Dragon Society who'd hurried over gradually blocked the entrance.

"Xu Laosan is under arrest."

Qin Annian's words made Ge Qingwang's pupils contract sharply!

He immediately remembered what one of his men had said earlier.

Dozens of Security Bureau officers had charged into the Blood Blade Gang Stronghold in a menacing formation.

Ge Qingwang had already guessed that trouble was brewing for the Blood Blade Gang, and that he might well get dragged down with them.

But he'd never expected it to happen so soon!

"Has the Security Bureau decided to take us on?"

"Aren't they afraid the Old District will descend into chaos?"

All sorts of thoughts raced through his mind.

His gaze at Qin Annian turned vicious.

He had no way out.

He could only kill the officer and run.

Boom!

In almost the same instant, Ge Qingwang sprang into action.

Whir!

The sound of mechanical components roaring into motion came from inside his body.

He knew all too well how strong Xu Laosan was.

If even Xu Laosan had gone down, then Ge Qingwang had to give it everything he had.

"Hm?"

Qin Annian raised an eyebrow.

"An augmentation surgery?"

That was something not included in the information he'd had.

"Die!"

Killing intent surged from Ge Qingwang, a cold glint flashing in his hand.

It was a long military dagger.

With the nightclub so dim, nobody had noticed it at first.

Its sharp point flashed as he thrust it toward Qin Annian's throat.

Qin Annian's breathing stayed steady. Even when the dagger was less than a handspan away, his eyes remained calm.

The instant he raised his hand,

a sense of foreboding welled up in Ge Qingwang's heart.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Qin Annian's punches came so fast they left afterimages.

His knuckles slammed into Ge Qingwang's wrist like cannonballs, then kept traveling up his arm to his elbow.

"Ah!"

Ge Qingwang felt the bones in his arm breaking one after another.

His strength drained away. His fingers went limp as mud, no longer able to hold the dagger.

With a clang,

the dagger fell to the floor.

"I have a lot of money!"

"Let me go!"

He shouted in panic, hoping Qin Annian would spare him.

Boom!

But then—

Ge Qingwang saw a dark figure suddenly come crashing down.

It was like a giant axe coming down on his shoulder.

A tremendous force struck him.

Ge Qingwang's knees slammed into the ground.

Spiderweb cracks spread across the marble floor.

"I'm in a hurry."

"I have to get married."

Qin Annian stated a simple fact.

He still had to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get his marriage certificate.

He'd already confirmed his suspicions through Xu Laosan.

There was no need to waste more time questioning Ge Qingwang.

Hearing that reason,

Ge Qingwang let out an involuntary "Ah!" despite the pain.

Then—

The world spun around him, and a kick sent him sprawling.

Click!

The electronic handcuffs snapped tight.

Their icy touch against his skin made Ge Qingwang face reality.

He was done for!

"Move!"

"Get him! Kill him!"

Pinned to the ground beneath Qin Annian's knee, sweat pouring down his forehead, Ge Qingwang screamed hysterically.

"Whoever takes him out!"

"I'll give you three hundred thousand!"

With a generous reward, there'd always be brave men.

Especially when they were gang members, most of them already struggling financially.

"We've got him outnumbered!"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"Kill him!"

For a while,

the scene outside the Blood Blade Gang Stronghold played out all over again.

And just as before,

it wasn't long before the nightclub was full of groaning people.

Qin Annian sent Miss Ju Zi another request for backup.

Then he looked at his Personal Terminal, reviewing the case file to make sure he hadn't missed anything.

"This case..."

"Should be solved, right?"

After all,

he'd already taken down the two most important suspects.

"I solved the case in a day."

"I've got to have done well."

"Taking over this district shouldn't be a problem."

He glanced at the time on his Personal Terminal.

"Just right."

"People at the Civil Affairs Bureau should be back at work by now."

Qin Annian looked at the Azure Dragon Society members sprawled helplessly across the floor, and Ge Qingwang, whose mechanical arm he'd torn off.

"The rest..."

"I'll leave to the colleagues coming to back me up."

Qin Annian turned and walked away without a backward glance.

Because—

From this moment on,

he was the Old District's officially designated king, a month from now.

"Miss Ju Zi sent a message!"

"Just as we thought!"

"We're to back up the team at the Azure Dragon Society headquarters!"

The officers who'd stayed behind outside the Blood Blade Gang Stronghold looked at one another in shock.

"So soon?"

"Did he take down the Azure Dragon Society too?"

"Does he ever get tired?"

Even though they'd been prepared for this,

they still couldn't help gasping in astonishment when they saw Miss Ju Zi's message!

"Move!"

"Let's get going!"

"I'm dying to know who that beast of a fighter is!"

The officers hurried into their vehicles and headed for the Azure Dragon Society headquarters.

By now,

plenty of people in the Old District had heard that a large group of Security Bureau officers had swaggered right in.

They'd also heard that not long ago,

the Blood Blade Gang's boss and core members had all been rounded up by the Security Bureau.

Now,

the officers were on the move again.

Quite a few people were watching their every move from the shadows.

When they finally saw the vehicles heading toward the Azure Dragon Society headquarters,

the people lurking in the dark couldn't help widening their eyes!

"Yikes!"

"No way?"

"Could both of the Old District's major gangs really fall at the hands of the Security Bureau today?"

"Have these security officers gone mad?"

"Did they catch rabies?"

"How did they end up making such a huge move today?"

They were all frightened by the guesses running through their minds.

But.

Soon, some of them grew excited!

"Good riddance!"

"If the Blood Blade Gang and the Azure Dragon Society don't die, how will we ever get our chance to rise?"

"Tell everyone to get ready."

"Go seize their turf!"

"Hahaha!"

"This really is heaven helping us!"

None of them believed that the Security Bureau, or even the Taiyu Municipal Government, had the ability to manage the grassroots order of the Old District.

So.

The power vacuum left behind would naturally be divided among gangs like theirs!

It was easy to imagine what would happen.

The Old District was bound to be swept up in another bloody storm!

But.

The security officers who had arrived at the Azure Dragon Society's headquarters had no time to worry about any of that yet.

"You're saying he went to get married?"

"What do you mean, he knocked all of you down because he was in a hurry to get married?!"
