The young lady's gone crazy-she wants to become the new Rat King!
But she doesn't feel tired now; instead, she feels fulfilled and at peace.
Of course, things would have been even more peaceful if the execution of the swill-dwelling official hadn't happened.
She now understood why Chen had asked her to keep an eye on Luo Chen.
Luo Chen, although kind-hearted.
But what about the methods?
It's almost inhuman that someone could do that.
I don't know how to advise him.
Lost in thought, Jiu walked to her residence.
Nina was found playing house with two other children.
They sat around a small table made of old wooden planks, their faces beaming with innocent smiles.
To Jiu's surprise, the two children were not Infected, but two normal people.
Their eyes were bright, their skin fair, and they had not a single Originium fragment.
Unlike those Infected are tormented by Originium.
Jiu couldn't help but wonder why these two children were in the area where the Infected lived.
And he's with Nina too.
Previously, only the children of Infected would be with other children of Infected.
"Ninth Sister, you're back."
Nina stood up the moment she saw Nine, her voice gentle and kind.
He nodded at nine and walked over to them.
Looking at the two timid children, she felt a surge of inexplicable warmth in her heart.
"Who are these two children?" Jiu asked curiously, her gaze shifting between the two children.
Nina, head held high, pointed at the two with a smile:
"She is Ma Nannan, he is Bishop, and I was good friends with them before I got sick."
He nodded at nine, but still had some doubts, so he couldn't help but ask:
"Why haven't I seen them play with you before?"
Nina paused for a moment, then recalled:
"They used to get beaten up by Tiger and his gang for playing with me, and their parents wouldn't let them have any contact with me."
Nina continued:
"Now that Tiger and his gang don't dare to hit anyone anymore, we've made up."
"Don't their parents object?" Jiu asked again.
This time, it was the two children who answered her:
"Dad said that the red-haired aunt is a high-ranking official in the Reunion Movement, and we must not offend her but treat her well. He told me to come and play with Nina."
Listening to the two children's uninhibited honesty, Jiu didn't know how to respond.
Unexpectedly, Nina was able to reconcile with her old friends because of the things she had done with Luo Chen during this period.
If he and Luo Chen hadn't established a new order in this area...
Then Nina will not only lose Xiao Wu's friend who is hospitalized.
And she can never reconcile with her former friends.
It's hard to say whether or not to advise Luo Chen against his inhumane actions.
Forget it, what's the point of trying to persuade me? I'd better just go to sleep.
Anyway, he was sent by the Lungmen Guard Department.
Even if the sky falls, there will be people holding it up.
Chen Huijie couldn't hold on any longer, but there was Swire.
Swire can't hold out, then there's still Governor Wei.
Governor Wei can't hold out, there's still Madam Wen Yue.
This is not something I should worry about.
Thinking about this, Jiu felt much clearer-headed, and she patted the children's heads.
It wagged its tail and went back to sleep.
Chapter 106 The young lady has gone mad! She wants to be the new Rat King!
Lower City.
On that bustling commercial street located between the eastern slums and the Upper City, there is a restaurant that stands out.
The restaurant's architecture is simple and elegant, with carved beams and painted rafters revealing the vicissitudes of time and the weight of history.
As night falls, the lanterns of the restaurant light up, illuminating the passersby and becoming a beautiful sight on the street.
The restaurant was unusually lively tonight.
A group of elderly people, dressed in fine clothes and clearly wealthy and influential, gathered here.
Among these elderly people, some were former gang leaders, while others were wealthy businessmen.
Although they are over sixty years old, they are still in good spirits and their charm remains undiminished.
They gathered together for no other reason than to hear what the Rat King had to say.
The events that occurred last night in B17 District have already spread Lungmen Underworld.
Since the Rat King unified the martial arts world and established its rules, this is the first time such a vicious gang conflict has occurred.
In the past, gang rivalries would at most result in a brief firefight with a few deaths.
Then, the business scope is redefined based on the performance record.
They would never kill all the top officials of the opposing side, displaying a noble demeanor reminiscent of ancient times.
However, this suddenly emerging Reunion Movement was composed of a group of complete lunatics.
Not only did they abuse the death penalty, but they also ruthlessly exterminated the smaller gangs below them.
Not only would the underlings be forced into labor, but even the cadres and the eldest brothers would be persecuted to death.
The gangs that were swept away by the Reunion Movement last night included the Desert Wolf Pack and two other gangs from outside the group.
Aren't the rest their underlings?
The Reunion Movement wiped out their underlings without a word.
This is undoubtedly a slap in the face to them, a slap in the face to their old, Rat King.
"Brother, what are we going to do now that you've said something like this?"
Are we just going to stand by and watch them disrupt order?
"Our subordinates and our partners are all very dissatisfied with this."
"You must uphold justice!"
Lin Ge Rui was surrounded by his brothers whom he hadn't seen for many years, and their incessant chatter left him completely bewildered.
In principle, he should be able to take charge of this matter.
But this morning, Lin Yuxia cornered him in the bedroom and repeatedly told him that he didn't need to get involved in this matter.
The person behind this is Governor Wei.
The problems from last night are all left to Lin Yuxia and the Lungmen Guard Department to handle themselves.
Although he didn't know what Governor Wei wanted to do that required him to bypass him.
However, Governor Wei entrusted the heavy responsibility of handling matters to the new generation, clearly intending to test their abilities.
Coincidentally, Lin Ge Rui also had the idea of giving Yuxia some training.
She's been pushing some kind of gang reform lately, setting up a whole bunch of attendance KPIs.
They also created a legal department within the organization.
It's good for young people to have ideas, but the key is whether they can put those ideas into practice.
It's good to give her a trial this time.
Success or failure, both are forms of growth.
"I'm too old to uphold justice. Retirement is retirement according to the rules. You should go talk to the children."
"But the young lady keeps talking about building a new era of gangs, we just don't understand a word she says."
"Yes, the young lady has gone mad. She wants to form a new alliance and become the new Rat King?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ge Rui's rat-like face froze for a moment. "Huh?"
On the other side, Lin Yuxia looked at the older brothers who had come to her to confide their troubles.
He gave a disdainful sneer:
"You're coming to me crying now? I told you to improve your organizational culture and strengthen legal education at the grassroots level, but you all ignored it."
"Now that you've gotten into trouble and been beaten up, you know to come to me?"
"What do you take me for? Someone who's there to clean up your messes?"
Several prominent figures were completely stunned after being berated by Lin Yuxia.
That's not right.
They should be the victims, so why are they being criticized like this by the boss?
Which side is the boss really on?
"Boss, but it's the Reunion Movement that's breaking the rules now."
"Breaking the rules?" Upon hearing this, Lin Yuxia immediately stood up with a smile:
"Who among you has properly followed the rules I set for you?"
"Right now, recite these Three Haves, One Must' for me. Whoever can answer correctly, I will uphold justice for them."
Lin Yuxia's words echoed in the empty room; her voice was firm and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.
However, after she finished speaking, the conference room fell silent.
Everyone looked at each other, their faces showing disbelief.
They originally thought that Lin Yuxia's four points were just casual remarks.
After all, expecting a gang—an organization driven by violence and profit—to improve its service awareness sounds like a pipe dream; how could it possibly be achieved?
But to everyone's surprise, this became a pretext for Lin Yuxia to use against them.
One hot-tempered older brother was so angry that he immediately turned on Lin Yuxia.
He stood up, his tone full of provocation and dissatisfaction.
"Fine, boss, since you won't stand up for us, then we'll find a way to fight for it ourselves."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Me too," another man followed closely behind.
"Boss, since you're not going to interfere, please don't accuse us of breaking the rules, and please don't try to meddle in our affairs."
