Indeed, Yang Yi’s move was quite cunning; it diverted the attention of both the police and the Hungry Wolf Gang. But that wasn't the primary objective; the real goal was to seize control of the headquarters of the Eagle Gang in the shortest possible time.

However, if the battle last night had caused the Hungry Wolf Gang to be fully occupied, and if they had known then that their so-called allied force, the Eagle Gang, had already been utterly destroyed, what would the consequences have been?

Yang Yi hadn't anticipated that a mere Li Qian would cause him to alter his plan. Yet, this revised plan was almost perfect. After all, this was the Eagle Gang's headquarters, and their leader was inside. To capture the king first, by securing this location, he could then dispatch men to slowly consolidate control over the entire Eagle Gang. Wouldn't that make the fighting later that night far less strenuous?

“What? Qian'er was taken by the Eagle Gang?” At this moment, inside the principal’s office at School Number One, Principal Li asked in astonishment.

“Yes, but don’t worry, Brother Yi is already on their trail!” said Fat Lin.

Hearing this, Principal Li seemed marginally relieved. He sat down, composed himself for a moment, and then said, “Is there anything else you need to tell me?”

“Impressive, a true veteran of the streets,” Fat Lin muttered inwardly. If Yang Yi hadn't called just moments ago, he might not have managed to keep his composure. After informing the principal, he certainly would have rushed over to join Yang Yi. But receiving that call stabilized him. “Rest assured, if nothing unexpected occurs, Brother Yi said tonight will be a very beautiful night, and your granddaughter Li Qian will be safe.”

“Oh?” Principal Li smiled then, a smile filled with expectation. He might not trust others, but Yang Yi—for some reason, the words of this rascal brought him unparalleled calm and reassurance. Thus, he smiled now, a smile utterly perplexing to others.

Perplexing to the other two present, to be precise. Xu Ming and Ye Xiaohou were also in the office, currently utterly bewildered, floating in a fog of confusion.

Hearing Cai Jian reveal everything without reservation, Li Qian knew—no, she was completely certain—that this man was the killer. However, right now, she was powerless against him. After all, he was a master, and those two large men had their pistols aimed squarely at her. Undeniably, any slight misstep would result in bullets piercing her skull.

“Hmph, speak up. What was your purpose in having me brought here?”

“Haha, it seems you still don’t know. It’s fine to tell you now.” Cai Jian laughed heartily.

But at that very moment…

“Big Brother!” Cai Kai burst in, his face pale with tension, shouting.

Cai Jian frowned, demanding, “What is it?”

“Big Brother, a group of unidentified people have arrived outside. They are killing our men on sight!” Cai Kai panted, clearly having witnessed a gruesome scene.

“What?” Cai Jian’s eyes widened, and he roared, “You damned fool, explain yourself clearly! What in the blazes is happening?”

“Big Brother… downstairs…!”

Before Cai Kai could finish, a subordinate rushed through the door, trembling with sheer terror, “Gang Leader, outside…”

“Speak… what’s happening outside?” Cai Jian felt a chilling premonition and snapped coldly, “Tell me!”

“A group of people arrived outside, claiming they will bathe our Eagle Gang in blood today!” The subordinate gasped, completely spent, his eyes unfocused, as if he too had seen something truly horrifying.

Upon hearing this, Cai Jian immediately barked at the two large men, “You two watch her closely, I’ll be right back!”

“Yes, Gang Leader!” the men in black replied.

Li Qian didn't know the specifics of what was happening, but she could guess. Someone had likely come to rescue her today. But who could it be? Her grandfather? Did he know that this person had brought her here?

“Those who follow me live; those who resist perish. Let those who surrender stand aside. For those who do not surrender, kill without mercy!” Yang Yi’s face was cold, his voice light, yet it resonated throughout the entire hall, striking the ears of the more than one thousand Black God Guards who were already stirring restlessly.

“Yes! Dragon Lord!” The Black God Guards began their harvest—yes, a harvest, sharp as the sickle of Death, ghostly like phantoms. Their forms blurred as they moved. Masters of assassination techniques, these ordinary men were no match for them. Even when faced with firearms, the Black God Guards could eliminate their opponents without sustaining a single scratch. This was the Black God Guard, the lowest tier of members in the Black God Gang. Imagine the rest—

Since antiquity, a man’s battlefield demands fervor and gore. Even if the enemy severs both hands, as long as breath remains, one must fight to the death, seeking mutual destruction. This is a man’s dignity, the dominance a man should possess.

Three thousand streams of blood I drink with you; a million generals I command. Rivers of slaughter flow for survival; the massacre of all things is but emptiness.

As Cai Jian descended to the first floor, he saw blood—scarlet blood—staining the stairs, the desks, the floor, even the high-hanging colored lanterns. Seeing this scene, Cai Jian trembled violently. He leaped down and shouted fiercely, “Stop them all immediately!”

“Hmph?” Yang Yi, who had been watching impassively beside Feng Shi, let out a soft sound upon seeing the sudden arrival.

“Young Master, this man is the leader of the Eagle Gang, Cai Jian!” Feng Shi replied knowingly.

“Oh?” Yang Yi hummed, then commanded, “Halt!”

The Black God Guards would not cease action without the Dragon Lord’s explicit order. Hearing Yang Yi’s voice, they immediately stopped their attack, standing densely arrayed behind him. In just a few minutes, the rebels, those who refused to surrender within the Eagle Gang headquarters, had been almost entirely dealt with.

“Who exactly are you? Why are you slaughtering my Eagle Gang members?” Cai Jian screamed this out almost in madness.

His life’s work! The Eagle Gang had prepared many elites for tonight’s confrontation. Yet, his so-called elites proved devastatingly fragile under the sickle-like strikes of a reaper.

“You must be Cai Jian, the leader of the Eagle Gang!” Yang Yi stepped forward, glancing at the dozens of corpses. Blood seemed the most common sight in his world.

“Who are you!” Cai Jian desperately suppressed his fury, his face burning with rage as he stared at the youth before him. Years of grinding experience in the criminal underworld told him this boy was dangerous, profoundly uncommon. What kind of person could control such monsters?
