After daybreak, the news had already spread like wildfire.
The alliance was not airtight. Even after many rectifications and purges, there were still traitors who slipped through the net. Moreover, Huai Shi's family was not the only one who was well-informed.
The other societies also had their own channels.
And the grim situation was in front of everyone's eyes.
Once the peace order was issued in five days, the order that the Danbo Inner Circle had been trying to maintain would probably face an unexpected and terrifying impact.
Heavenly materials and earthly treasures belonged to those who were virtuous, and these ill-gotten gains that were like dung were the favorite of those who were not virtuous.
For so many years, the foundation that the alliance had established in the capital had attracted the attention of many people with ulterior motives. Not to mention other things, the existence of the Empire Hotel alone was enough to attract a lot of hostility.
Not to mention the friction and hatred between the alliance and the other organizations over the years.
Once the peace was gone and there was a big reshuffle, even if the Danbo Inner Circle remained neutral, it would still become a fat piece of meat on the chopping board … Who told you to have no backing and no status?
The next morning, Huai Shi stood in front of the window and saw the vast crowd on the street outside.
The messy vehicles were filled with people. The crowd seemed to be fleeing for their lives. They almost blocked the streets like a colony of migrating ants …
They were running away.
"Coward! Bastard! Bastard! "
Shangye's roar came from downstairs, and he was angrily scolding the team member in front of him. "Have you forgotten the kindness that the boss gave you? Now you want to run away just because we're almost here? You traitor! You want to leave? Fine, cut your finger, you dog! "
He threw a knife in front of the team member and glared at him. "Cut your finger and get out. Walk out of this door and cut all ties with the Huai Shi Group. Don't say that we're brothers anymore!"
The young team member's face was pale, and he knelt on the ground. After a long time, he grabbed the knife and pressed his hand to the ground.
The others around him wanted to persuade him, but they did not dare to speak. Some people had the same idea as him and wanted to leave … but they were frightened by the punishment in front of them and did not dare to speak.
A hand reached out and pressed on the young man's arm.
It was the foot of the mountain.
"Hey! The foot of the mountain! What do you want to do? " Shangye was so angry that his face was distorted. He glared at the person who stopped him. "Do you have the same idea as this coward?"
At the foot of the mountain, he glanced at him and ignored him. He continued to look at the young man kneeling on the ground and asked, "Your name is Shuihei, right?"
Shuihei nodded in a daze.
"Boss wants me to tell you something," he said. "You just got married not long ago, right? Your wife is pregnant? "
Shan Xia's words made Shui Hei's face even paler. The man trembled and knelt on the ground, wanting to kowtow and beg for mercy, but was pulled up by Shan Xia.
"Don't worry. I won't use them to threaten you."
Yamashita shook his head and continued to tell him, "Boss said, 'Life is not easy, and it's even harder to be a hybrid. Men have to be responsible for their families before they can talk about loyalty and other things … You didn't run away after getting pregnant like a scumbag. It's good that you can take responsibility.'
Whether it's for your family or for your own life, Boss won't stop you if you want to leave.
But since he had gone against the society's rules, he should not be an Extreme Dao expert anymore. He should cut off his finger and find a proper job in the future.
Otherwise, you know the consequences, right? "
At the foot of the mountain's eyes turned cold. Shui Hei was stunned for a moment and nodded repeatedly.
"Very good." At the foot of the mountain slowly got up, took out a ship ticket from his pocket and threw it in front of Shui Hei. "This is Boss's wedding gift to you. Take it as Huai Zhi Group's last friendship to you. Shui Hei, from now on, we are done."
Shui Hei was stunned for a long time. He stared at the red packet on the ground and couldn't help but cry.
After a long time, he raised the knife in his hand and suddenly cut off his little finger. He didn't even bandage it. He just turned his head and kowtowed a few times in the direction of Huai Shi's office. Finally, he picked up the ship ticket on the ground and turned to leave.
"If anyone has the same idea as him, you can say it."
At the foot of the mountain looked around at the people around him. "Boss said that we can't force it. He won't stop those who want to leave Huai Zhi Group. Leave a finger, take the ship ticket and leave. But only this morning. Are you all dead? Talk! Is he the only one who wants to leave? "
In the silence, five people came out one after another, picked up the knife on the ground, cut off one of their fingers as an apology, took the ship ticket, and left with gratitude or indifference.
"Boss Huai Zhi … Is this really okay?"
Behind Huai Shi, Shui Hei asked, "If this spreads out, I'm afraid it's not good for the unity of the group."
"Is unity maintained by this kind of thing? What's the use of a unity that can be broken by cutting off a finger? "
Huai Shi shook his head and sighed softly. "Let them go. At least it's a way to survive … And you, Shui Hei, leave too."
Shui Hei was stunned and puzzled.
Huai Shi reached out and took out a ship ticket from his pocket and handed it to him. "The ship will depart from the dock this afternoon. I've booked a first-class box for you. It can fit your whole family … Don't worry about the old furniture. After you go to White Town, take the money you've saved over the years and enjoy your retirement."
Shui Hei shook his head in fear. "I don't want to leave!"
"I know, but you're an old man who can't even wield a knife. What's the use of staying? Are you a burden? "
Huai Shi asked, "After you got out of prison, you haven't had blood on your hands. Now that it's time to retire, you should think about your children."
"This, this …" Shui Hei looked blankly at the ship ticket and shook his head. "Brother, this is against the rules."
"Rules?"
Huai Shi shook his head and suddenly asked, "Do you know what Mr. Fujimoto said to me before he died?"
Shui Hei was silent.
"He said, 'Please, Mr. Huai Zhi, I'll leave everyone to you …'"
Huai Shi sighed and shrugged. "It's fine if you say that he's young and can fight, but he left you, an old man, to me. Did he want me to send you to fight with others? Didn't he just want you to have a good ending? I originally planned to take it slow and gradually change my name. Unfortunately, time waits for no one … Let's go, Shui Hei. What's the use of a cashier staying here? He's still waiting for you to hand over your work to him at the foot of the mountain. "
Amidst the silence, Shui Hei was silent. After a long time, he slowly bent down and took the ship ticket from Huai Shi's hand with both hands.
"Thank you for taking care of me all this time."
When he said goodbye, he unconsciously burst into tears.
Huai Shi waved his hand and watched him turn and leave. After a long time, he looked at the rushing crowd outside the window again.
The time was still too short.
With his current ability, from last night until now, he had only booked a few smugglers' boats. It was already not easy to arrange an escape route for the people in the group.
As for the people outside, he was already powerless.
Where could they go?
Those who had made money, changed their identities, and registered their household registration had long moved out of Danbo Inner Circle to other cities with better security and friendlier to outsiders.
As for the powerful and influential people, they could directly take their own private helicopters and hide in the best border hotels to wait for the storm to pass.
And where could those people who didn't even have household registration and identity documents escape to?
It didn't take long for his guesses and expectations to be confirmed.
The mixed-race people who had escaped the inner circle of Danbo didn't even have time to catch their breath before they realized that the police force on the streets of Jingdu was shockingly exaggerated. The identity checks were even stricter, especially for those with obvious mixed-race characteristics. They were stopped by the police before they could even take two steps.
In order to live for a few more years and stay away from the Abyss, those who managed to sneak into the Present Realm from the border had already gone bankrupt. How could they have the ability to settle their identities?
As for those who wanted to hide at the border, they found that they couldn't even pass the customs. As for Yomi-no-Yomi-no-Yomi-no-Yomi-no-Yomi-no-Yomi-no-Yomi-no-Yomi-no-Yomi-
Under the shadow of the Inaction Order, all parties could foresee the coming storm. In this kind of time when they couldn't even take care of themselves, how could they spare any mercy to the mixed breeds?
It didn't take long for those who gritted their teeth and abandoned their families to run away to be badly battered by the cruel reality. After learning from the mistakes of others, he dejectedly returned to the only place where he could stay …
He resigned himself to fate.
"Woof?"
Just outside the inner circle of Danbo, at the entrance of a restaurant, a girl who had just started work for the first day had just lifted the cover in front of the door when she smelled something unusual from the street. She looked at the rushing crowd in a daze.
She didn't understand what was going on.
"Boss, boss, something seems to have happened outside." She curiously peeped at the scene outside.
Behind the counter, Ms. Jin Jiang put down the phone in her hand. She was in a daze for a long time before she sighed with melancholy.
"I'm sorry, Zhen Xi. It's your first day and you've already encountered this kind of thing. I'm afraid it won't be safe here from now on … Is there anywhere else you can go?"
"Huh? Am I fired? "
Zhen Xi was dumbfounded and immediately became nervous. "Did I do something wrong? I can change. If the salary is too high, it doesn't matter if it's a little less. No, just take care of my meals. I'm very hardworking! "
Ms. Jin Jiang heard her and looked at the small horns on Zhen Xi's forehead. She couldn't help but sigh and reach out to rub her hair.
"Forget it. Since you don't have anywhere else to go, just stay here. You can also accompany Tomoko. But you have to eat less. The food in the restaurant can't stand you eating like this. "
"For the next few days, try not to go out on the street. Just stay in the restaurant." She said, "The gangs on the street are going to fight. Don't get hurt by accident."
"I'm not afraid of that. I'm very strong!" Zhen Xi clenched her fist and solemnly promised, "If there are bad guys, let me protect the boss and Tomoko!"
"Okay."
Looking at her naive and serious look, Ms. Jin Jiang couldn't help but laugh. She pinched her cheek and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
