These words were like armor-piercing bullets with crystals embedded in them and monsters' claws. They tore apart Song Jinbo's joy of obtaining power.
In great pain, he realized that he did not take over power, but a poisonous hot potato with spikes embedded in it.
Golden Tooth was known as the strongest gang in the lair, and at least half of its confidence came from Saber Jin Wanhao.
His old friends had followed Jin Wanhao and risked their lives in a storm of bullets, but they had been protected by the Underground Emperor for decades, and they had long since degenerated. Their reactions were slow, and they were incredibly weak.
Take Song Jinbo as an example.
After being the person in charge of Golden Tooth's entertainment business for more than ten years, he had long since gotten rid of the bloodthirsty air around him and became a pure businessman.
His battlefield had also turned from a place filled with broken walls and monsters to a table filled with people drinking wine.
It was the same for his other friends.
Over the past two years, under Red Brows Su Lun's lead, everyone gradually changed their way of thinking. They were good at making money, but when it came to risking their lives against a lunatic like Phantom Bear Xiong Wei, no one could stand with their backs straight.
Besides, even if they could straighten their backs, they would still be crushed by Xiong Wei with one palm strike.
It was Golden Tooth's fault for not being able to find a second powerful fighter who could shoulder the burden after Saber Jin Wanhao died.
"Meng Chao, Lu Siya, where did you go?"
Song Jinbo was really anxious.
Now that things had progressed to this point, he could only place all his hopes on bringing in outside forces of power.
It was especially so for Meng Chao.
He remembered how he was captured alive, how he exposed Red Brows Su Lun's true colors, how he facilitated the reconciliation between Leprosy Village and the gangs, and how he completely stabilized the situation in Dragon City. The dazzling series of actions still made Song Jinbo feel dizzy even now.
Even though Meng Chao was just a young man in his early twenties …
For some reason, Song Jinbo felt that the only person who could fight against Phantom Bear Xiong Wei was the youngest Heaven Realm superhuman in Dragon City.
But what sort of reason and benefits could make Meng Chao join the fray and risk his life for Golden Tooth?
Just when Song Jinbo sank into deep thought …
Suddenly, a bone-chilling chill rose from the bottom of his feet to his tailbone, the back of his head, and the top of his skull.
He shuddered, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
But he saw that the old brothers around him were just like him. Their thighs were trembling, and they were sweating profusely. They were rubbing the goosebumps on their arms.
"Such a powerful aura!"
"An expert has appeared!"
"It's not an elite, it's a beast! It's a Hell Beast!"
"H-How is this possible? It's like there are more than one hundred Hell Beasts rising from underground and appearing under our feet!"
Everyone's hair stood on end as if they were facing a great enemy.
Song Jinbo swallowed hard.
Even though he found it hard to believe, he could sense the terrifying presence formed by more than one hundred beasts spreading out from Golden Tooth's headquarters.
In a trance, they had the illusion that the world around them had been submerged in a sea of blood from hell, leaving only the rooftop they were standing on as an isolated island.
This small island would soon be completely devoured by the Hell's Blood.
"Someone snuck into the Golden Saber Hall?"
Song Jinbo and his friends looked at each other at a loss. They found it unbelievable.
All the partitions on the highest floor of Golden Tooth's headquarters had been removed to form a huge, luxurious meeting room known as Golden Saber Hall. It was the place where Saber Jin Wanhao usually gathered his friends to discuss gang matters.
Ever since Jin Wanhao hid underground and went into isolated training, Golden Saber Hall had been sealed off for a long time.
Red Brows Su Lun and the middle and higher management of the gang used the small meeting rooms on the lower floors, which belonged to their respective businesses.
Golden Saber Hall was the meeting room that belonged solely to Saber Jin Wanhao.
Only Jin Wanhao knew how to open it.
But now …
Song Jinbo and his friends looked at each other, and they saw the shock and delight in each other's eyes.
The group quickly got off the rooftop and surged toward Golden Saber Hall.
The door to Golden Saber Hall, which had been sealed off for nearly half a year, was now open.
Before they even stepped through the door, the dazzling golden saber glare was already so bright that no one could open their eyes.
It was as if they saw a Golden Horned Beast crouching on Golden Tooth's throne. The Golden Horned Beast even had a pair of wings formed by Hell's Blood sticking out of its ribs.
The incomparably tyrannical aura caused everyone to hold their breaths.
Some people even instinctively took half a step back and drew their sabers. They were on high alert.
But when they saw the person who held Golden Tooth Saber and was surrounded by bloody flames from hell, they looked as if they had been struck by lightning. They turned into clay puppets and could not say a word even after a long time had passed.
"M- Meng Chao?"
With a clang, someone's saber fell on the floor.
…
"Whoa!"
Phantom Bear Xiong Wei shouted, and his knuckles let out cracking sounds. His bear paw, which was already the size of a cattail leaf fan, instantly swelled up. There was even white lightning surrounding his fingers.
He slammed his palm into the former Reaper Squad member's chest and crushed his motorized armor along with his sternum. His chest caved in, and a huge pressure traveled from his chest to his skull. His eyeballs popped out, and he died without a hitch.
Xiong Wei exerted force again, and the cumbersome corpse, which weighed around two hundred and fifty kilograms, was sent flying more than twenty meters away. With a loud bang, it crashed into the door of the warehouse, knocking open the door of the strategic resource warehouse, even though only the outer wall was charred and the inside was still in perfect condition.
Xiong Wei narrowed his eyes and sucked in a deep breath. The unique fragrance of treasures made him feel incredibly happy.
He looked around and saw that the Black Bone elites had already cut the last robber into pieces.
The fierce battle had ended, and they had won. Everything here now belonged to Black Bone and Phantom Bear Xiong Wei!
"Same rules. Quickly sift through the resources here. Pick out the better half and send them back to Black Bone. Hand over the remaining half and say that we saved them from the fire!"
Xiong Wei casually wiped off the blood on his body and spoke to the Black Bone adviser beside him.
"Got it."
The smart-looking adviser nodded. He hesitated for a moment before he braced himself and said, "But gang leader, we've already taken over five strategic resource warehouses in one go. We've also taken over three middle-sized gangs that were crippled by the enemy. Isn't it too obvious that we've weakened Golden Tooth?"
"Hmm?"
Xiong Wei frowned. "What are you trying to say?"
His killing intent scared the Black Bone adviser so much that he broke out in cold sweat. He gulped a few times before he dared to continue. "I heard some rumors that the gangs in the lair are criticizing Black Bone's aggressiveness. They might be doing something in the dark that'll be detrimental to Black Bone."
"Doing something? Hahahaha! "
Xiong Wei laughed and used the paw he used to blast the former Reaper Squad member's chest to strike the adviser's shoulder. "Jin Wanhao is dead, and the lair is leaderless right now. It's chaos. At that moment, whoever attacks first will have the upper hand and get the most loot. Then, they will expand their forces of power to the max, and they will be the ones who will create and control a brand new order!
"No matter what, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and the victors are kings. Petty tricks won't affect the overall situation. Without Jin Wanhao, no one in the lair will be able to fight against me!"
"Of course."
The Black Bone adviser grimaced because of the slap. He endured the pain and said, "Golden Tooth has been dealt a heavy blow, and it will definitely not be able to recover. Poison Scorpion has always been weaker than us, and the other middle-sized gangs are nothing to be afraid of. Gang leader, you've already become the strongest in the lair, so it's only natural for you to lead the lair. But I'm worried about the forces outside the lair.
"We've been acting really domineeringly, and we've intentionally or unintentionally harmed the interests of a lot of mega corporations outside the lair. Gang leader, will they be displeased?"
"You don't understand. It's precisely because of the possibility of external forces interfering that I had to act quickly and take in so many resources and forces of power at the risk of indigestion."
Xiong Wei's aura was like that of a madman, but his eyes were as calm as ice, showing that his thoughts were incredibly clear. "Right now, the spirit energy magnetic field interference in the lair is still pretty bad. Our communications with the outside world haven't been completely restored, and most of the outside world's attention is on the pitched battle at the borders of Dragon City. They can't interfere with the lair's internal affairs.
"This is a window that only appears once in a blue moon, and it won't last for long. We have to do this before the dust settles.
"As long as Black Bone really controls most of the lair's resources and power, we'll become the strongest gang in the lair and control the livelihoods and businesses of hundreds of thousands of people. Even if the outside world is a little displeased with our methods, so what? Can we forcefully attack the lair and destroy Black Bone to stir up new chaos?
"That's impossible. To Dragon City, the lair is like a toilet. It's a place to hide evil. The government only has one request for the lair, and that is to maintain order. They don't want to cause new and even greater chaos.
"At that time, we'll give up some of the benefits. Golden Tooth will definitely be destroyed, crippled, and killed! If we kill Golden Tooth, the benefits we get will be enough for us to use in negotiations with the mega corporations! "
The Black Bone advisor came to a realization. He gave a thumbs up and said in admiration, "You're brilliant, gang leader! You're brilliant!"
At that moment, another Black Bone member climbed over the broken walls and ran to them.
"Gang leader, Golden Tooth's Song Jinbo has invited you to meet him at Golden Tooth's headquarters."
"Song Jinbo?"
Xiong Wei's expression darkened. He snorted coldly and said, "He hasn't even become Golden Tooth's new gang leader, and he already dares to put on such airs? If he wants to talk about the distribution of loot and the conflict between Black Bone and Golden Tooth, he should come to Black Bone's headquarters and meet me personally! "
"That's not it," the Black Bone member said.
"Aside from us, Song Jinbo has also invited the leaders of the gangs in the lair. I heard that they're going to officially announce Saber Jin Wanhao's death."
"What?"
Xiong Wei's anger turned into delight. He laughed. "Golden Tooth can't last anymore and is going to admit defeat!"
