The White Birch Forest.
Chung Shen-soo brought his younger brother and sister, strolling through the forest as if they were on a field trip, before finally arriving at the hunter's hut.
"Wait for me for a moment."
He instructed Jones and the rest, before pushing open the door of the hut with his right hand.
The hut was very narrow, with only one room after pushing open the door. The firewood and miscellaneous items piled up in the corner, as well as the only wooden bed, were all in sight.
At this moment, Scarface was trying his best to sit up on the bed, looking in the direction of the door with his shotgun still in hand.
Only when he saw that it was Chung Shen-soo did he reveal a smile, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"Give me your hand."
Chung Shen-soo smiled as he stepped forward and gestured, intending to give Scarface a high five.
However, Scarface did not give a high five, nor did he make a fist bump, which was the favorite gesture of gangsters.
Instead, he grabbed Chung Shen-soo's right hand and placed it in front of his lips, performing a ceremony of allegiance. He muttered, "I knew you wouldn't give up on me …"
Chung Shen-soo had goosebumps all over his body, and it was a good thing he didn't backhand slap him.
At this moment, he recalled that in the Nuoding Hill clan that Ol 'Seadog and Scarface belonged to, kissing the hand was a very high form of etiquette.
Kissing the other's left hand represented begging for forgiveness.
Kissing the right hand represented allegiance!
If others were to find out that Scarface had performed a ceremony of allegiance to Li Wei, it would probably cause an immediate earthquake.
At the very least, Ol 'Seadog would never trust this gunman again.
"Yes, we're comrades. Of course I won't give up on you."
Chung Shen-soo resisted the discomfort and withdrew his right hand, secretly deciding that he would at least wear a thick and large ring in the future.
Then, he would just kiss the ring as a sign of respect. He really couldn't accept anything else.
"Alright, everything's fine now. Come in."
He shouted towards the door, calling his younger siblings in. He had them spread out a tablecloth and began eating.
Although it was only black bread, Carmella and Jennifer still ate happily, almost believing that they were really on a field trip.
Seeing this scene, Scarface, who was swallowing medicine, had a change of expression. "Ol 'Seadog …"
"Not so fast, I'm just taking precautions …"
Chung Shen-soo's smile gradually changed. "Scarface, what do you think I should do in order to eliminate the danger?"
Scarface was just a gunman, and the most convenient way to solve the problem was probably to get rid of the person who asked the question. Therefore, he looked at the shotgun and said in a low voice, "When I feel better, I'll explain. If I can't explain, I'll get rid of him."
"Very good, I admire your determination. But now, you just need to rest well and take care of your brothers and sisters for me."
Chung Shen-soo sneered, "Everything will be resolved after tonight."
Even though some gangs had formed strange traditions, such as saying that even if the husband and son died, as long as the wife and mother announced that they would no longer take revenge, they would not suffer from revenge, and they would live as before, Chung Shen-soo did not believe in this.
Rules were meant to be broken!
Moreover, that Ol 'Seadog wasn't one to follow the rules.
…
Byron City.
Night fell.
Chung Shen-soo was wearing a beige trench coat and a cowboy hat. He held a toothpick in his mouth as he walked in the shadows of the street.
A homeless man walked towards him, but he almost collided with Chung Shen-soo as if he couldn't see him.
'Making use of light, shadow, and blind spots to achieve a certain degree of stealth … does this mean that my control over this body has reached a certain limit?'
Even though this body hadn't gone through any training, with Chung Shen-soo's martial arts consciousness, it was enough to become a nightmare for ordinary people.
As for the miraculous rescue of Scarface, it could only be said to be a flash of inspiration.
Unless he immediately used a large amount of Tenxiu Point to unlock [Herder], he would have to slowly train and explore before he could see some results.
He turned into a secluded alley.
It was a remote alley without street lights, but occasionally, two people would pass by, reeking of alcohol.
At the end of the alley, there was a secret door that led to Ol 'Seadog's underground bar.
At this time, outside the secret door, there was a burly white man guarding, vigilantly staring at everyone who came in and out.
Due to alcohol prohibition, it was illegal to gather people to drink and sell alcohol.
However, alcohol prohibition agents couldn't barge into private residences. Hence, this burly man acted as a fire door, in charge of keeping out guests who they assumed to be agents.
For strangers to enter, they had to be recommended by acquaintances. There was a strict set of rules.
Chung Shen-soo walked out from the darkness and faced the burly man.
"Li Wei? Don't you know that Ol 'Seadog has been looking for you? "
The burly man revealed a sinister smile. "I heard that … you left with your brother and sister during the day. Why did you come back? Foolish decision! "
"Bring me to Ol 'Seadog. I want to explain about the goods."
Chung Shen-soo replied expressionlessly.
"Same old rules."
The burly man gestured for Chung Shen-soo to raise his arms and begin the body search.
Chung Shen-soo didn't have any weapons with him. After a round of inspection, he was let into the bar.
After passing through a spiral staircase and opening a door, the sound of noise, loud drinking, and music came one after another.
A large number of drunkards gathered together, pouring all sorts of expensive smuggled alcohol into their mouths.
Some of them were employees of companies, some were government employees, doctors, lawyers, peddlers, dancers, nurses …
But at that moment, they all shared a common identity. They were pitiful people who were so oppressed by life that they could barely breathe. They urgently needed the comfort of alcohol, allowing them to temporarily forget all their troubles.
Therefore, they only needed a drink that could get them drunk. That was all.
'Sigh, I finally know why Li Wei couldn't find a job after losing his job. Such low-quality alcohol, no matter how you mix it, it's useless … Besides, people don't care anymore. They just want alcohol. If there's really no alcohol, they can just drink medical alcohol or antifreeze …'
Chung Shen-soo followed the burly man through the crowd and arrived at an office on the second basement floor of the bar.
Two gang gunmen stood guard at the door. The burly man went up and said a few words before Chung Shen-soo was led in.
Ol 'Seadog had a head of white hair and wore a well-ironed suit. He sat behind a mahogany desk like a proper businessman and not the owner of an underground bar.
When he saw Chung Shen-soo enter, he puffed on his cigar and said leisurely, "Li Wei … kid … you disappoint me."
"The goods are gone. It was done by a group of masked bandits. They must be newbies with immature methods. As long as we start with the sales channel, we'll definitely be able to catch them."
Chung Shen-soo attempted to reconcile.
"Yes, I know you've done your best." Ol 'Seadog's voice was deep and hoarse, as if he couldn't suppress his anger. "But do you know how much I've lost? Even if I managed to retrieve the goods, I still have to pay tribute to the gang. I've lost thousands of dollars this time, you … "
Before he could finish cursing, he suddenly felt a sense of danger.
It was an intuition honed through years of life and death situations. Alas, it was too late!
"That means … there's nothing left to talk about!"
Chung Shen-soo strode forward. A toothpick had appeared in his hand out of nowhere, and he stabbed it into Ol 'Seadog's eye.
Pu!
A small splash of blood splattered.
