The More They Rush, The More I Resist

Inner demon?

The crowd looked blank, their heads full of fog, completely unable to understand his meaning.

Only one well-traveled veteran rider's eyes lit up. He revealed a meaningful smile and whispered, "I get it, I get it all too well. The Station Master just killed so many people, his blood and energy must be surging, his temper a bit too hot. He needs to vent, and I know just the place..."

"Oh?" The others understood in a heartbeat.

"We're willing! Station Master, we are absolutely willing!" Several riders instantly perked up, shouting excitedly.

"Station Master, I, Old Lin, am sticking with you too. Whatever you decide, you're the boss!" Lin Zhen handed over a fresh towel, his tone firm, his mind already flashing through several reputable clubs.

"Very good. Now, use your connections and find out where the lairs of those gangs are." Li Jinshui continued to wipe the bloodstains from his body.

"Huh?" The smiles on everyone's faces froze instantly.

"Station Master, we're going to the lairs of those gangs? To... to do what?" Lin Zhen's hand shook, his face full of bewilderment. How could a gang's lair help vent anger?

"Nonsense, to set them on fire, of course."

Li Jinshui was righteous and confident: "Killing people without setting fires is like wearing silk in the dark. I killed so many people tonight; if I don't set a fire, how am I supposed to resolve my inner demon?"

"Hiss!"

The crowd gasped in unison.

Damn!

Killing and arson to resolve an inner demon?

Station Master, do you even hear yourself?

What exactly were you doing before this?

Talk is talk, and jokes are jokes, but Li Jinshui was determined to go through with this trip.

A few veteran riders knew the hideouts of the nearby gangs like the back of their hands. Seeing Li Jinshui's resolute attitude, they gritted their teeth and took the lead.

"Buzz, buzz..."

Not long after they set off, Li Jinshui's phone vibrated.

The caller ID showed an unknown number.

"Hello?" Li Jinshui frowned and answered.

"Is this Li Jinshui? I am the incoming head of the Youth Training Camp, Wang Yunming."

A hoarse, cold voice came through the phone, carrying the unquestionable tone of a superior: "I am now notifying you that your position as acting station master is suspected of internal illegal operations and has been revoked. Report to the branch office immediately for investigation."

Incoming?

Li Jinshui laughed in anger. You haven't even taken office yet, and you think you can manage me?

"What is your cultivation level?" Li Jinshui asked bluntly.

"..."

The other end of the line fell silent for a moment before a cold voice replied: "Li Jinshui, I will say this one last time. Report to the branch office immediately for investigation, or face the consequences. Huang Lichen, Ye Mei, and the others have already been taken in by the Inspection Department and are confessing to their illegal activities. If you don't come, we will assume you are fleeing to avoid punishment."

"Oh?" Li Jinshui raised an eyebrow. It seemed Old Huang and the others weren't dead; that was at least good news.

But wasn't Old Huang supposed to be guarding the area and engaging with other Thousand-Jun Realm experts?

How were they taken back to the branch office so quickly?

No, the water here runs deep.

Li Jinshui recalled the conversation with Huang Lichen, who had mentioned a mole, meaning the plan had been exposed long ago.

Even the dozen or so First-rate Martial Artist who were supposed to be hiding nearby hadn't been seen at all.

Now that I've beaten the gangs back and am about to cut the weeds and pull the roots, you make this call?

"Heh!"

Li Jinshui laughed. "So you have eyes watching nearby? It seems you already knew I was going to settle scores with those gangs, otherwise you wouldn't be in such a hurry to call me, right? Mr. Wang, the head who hasn't even taken office yet?"

"..." A slightly heavy, ragged breath could be heard from the other end.

"Li Jinshui, I have already warned you. If you continue to be obsessed and unrepentant, don't blame us for notifying the Inspection Bureau to launch a manhunt for you."

With that, the other party hung up.

Li Jinshui frowned deeply and slowly put his phone away.

Did the other party intend to use the charge of embezzlement to get the Inspection Bureau involved?

Does this indirectly mean they currently don't have the spare manpower to stop me?

Li Jinshui's brow gradually smoothed out, though he felt something was off.

They were just small gangs; why would they need to stop him from finishing them off?

And even if they wanted him back for an investigation, it shouldn't be this so-called incoming head of the Youth Training Camp stepping forward.

It should be someone from the Flash Group Delivery company, or even staff from the branch office. In any case, it shouldn't be the Youth Training Camp's place to intervene, especially since he had already graduated.

"I hate these cryptic masterminds the most. I don't care about your schemes—first I'll wipe out the gang, then I'll destroy Wei Hu Security!"

Li Jinshui stopped wasting words and signaled the group to continue their advance.

The entire party surged forward like a streak of lightning, racing toward the lair of the East Star Society.

However, less than a few minutes into their journey, the phone in his pocket began to vibrate again.

"Li Jinshui, are you determined to flee from justice? I'm warning you, this matter is over. Stop stirring up trouble and get back to the branch office immediately, do you hear me?"

As soon as the call connected, Wang Yunming's frantic, exasperated voice came through.

"Hear your mom, go to hell, you're a hundred percent a scammer, get lost!" Li Jinshui cursed, hung up, and promptly blacklisted the number.

The more anxious you are, the more I know I'm doing the right thing!

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The phone shook violently again; it was another unfamiliar number.

"Hello! Li Jinshui, I'm the manager of Wei Hu Security. Tonight's affair is over, you should stop now. Huang Lichen and Ye Mei will contact you in a moment."

"Go to hell."

Li Jinshui blacklisted another person and kept moving.

"Hello! A-Shui, it's Huang Lichen. It's fine now, that dog Chen Yu was bought off at the last minute..."

"Go to... cough, I don't believe you."

Li Jinshui blocked Huang Lichen as well.

It doesn't matter who calls; I'm going to wipe out those gangs. Even if Ye Mei came herself, she couldn't stop me—I said it!

"Brothers, full speed ahead! Tonight, we're going to pull off something big!"

Li Jinshui roared, accelerating once more and leaving the others far behind.

He could roughly guess why they were trying to stop him: someone wanted to suppress tonight's events and didn't want the situation to escalate.

If Chen Yu really had betrayed them, it meant Ye Mei and Old Huang had already lost and were about to be fired.

Li Jinshui certainly wouldn't fare any better; at the very least, he would lose this job, and his backing would collapse.

Therefore, the only way to turn the tables was to flip the table and keep causing chaos until those people couldn't contain it anymore.

At worst, they'd all be hauled off to the Inspection Bureau for tea—who's afraid of who!

At this moment, inside an ordinary factory building, the lights were blazing.

The air was thick with the pungent stench of blood, and intermittent cries of agony echoed through the space.

This was the headquarters of the East Star Society. The survivors had fled back here, lying scattered across the floor in disarray.

The leader of the East Star Society sat in his private office, his face dark as he repeatedly dialed numbers on his phone.

But every call he made went unanswered.

"Damn it, they tell me to take my men and run, but look at this bunch of the wounded and dying—where the hell are we supposed to go?" He kicked over the solid wood tea table in front of him, feeling incredibly agitated.

His superiors had ordered him to relocate all his men and avoid any further heavy casualties.

But given the current situation, he was truly powerless. Whether they were martial artists or ordinary thugs, almost everyone was injured, and many had died on the way from excessive blood loss.

It was a miracle these people had even made it back to the main base; how could they possibly endure another trek in such a short time?

"Bang!"

Finally, he smashed his phone, stood up, and hurried toward the safe to quickly pack his valuables.

Li Jinshui would be here any second. He had to ensure his own safety first; if it came to it, he would just flee to another city and start over.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"

Just then, a familiar sound suddenly rang out from outside the factory gates.

The East Star Society leader froze, his face turning pale as he began to tremble uncontrollably.

It was that animal Li Jinshui—he was outside, mimicking the sound of a doorbell!!!
