2055 A.D.
Ever since the two strongest humans, Hong and God of Thunder, made an agreement with the two kings of the monsters in the sea, the war between humans and monsters still broke out occasionally. However, it could be considered as a peaceful period. Humans had the chance to breathe and reproduce, and the population of the six base cities also began to prosper.
This was the Wushan District of Yichang City, one of the eight great cities of the Central China Base City!
Early in the morning, there were countless peddlers pushing small carts or carrying poles to the two sides of the street, shouting and cursing. There were steamed buns that had just come out of the oven, fresh vegetables, and even some ordinary mutated monster meat. There was a huge variety of them.
However, this lively street scene was quickly destroyed by a group of people. This group of people had the backs of a bear and waists of a tiger, and their bodies were full of murderous aura. Every single one of them looked like people that ordinary people could not afford to offend.
Seeing this group of people, the peddlers on the street became careful. Wherever they passed, even the sound of their peddlers began to become softer.
There was no one on this street who did not know this group of people. They claimed to be the underground guardians of this street. Every month, they would come to the door on time to collect money, commonly known as protection fees.
That's right, this group of people was the local underground gang that called themselves the Wild Wolves Gang. Naturally, this group of people was the Wild Wolves Gang's underlings.
Seeing this group of gangsters passing by, especially the young man in front who was covered in injuries, with blood still dripping down his face, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive, the crowd shook their heads in their hearts. They wondered which pitiful family was going to be in trouble this time.
The gangsters brought the young man through the street, and then stopped in front of a shop that specialized in noodles and pastries at the end of the street. After that, under the lead of a bald man with a scar on his face, the group of gangsters rushed in one by one.
Seeing this scene, a trace of fear flashed across the faces of the customers who were originally eating breakfast. How could they still care about eating? Those with a conscience would leave money for their meals, while those without conscience would just eat and dash. One by one, they quickly ran out of the noodle shop, not daring to stay any longer.
The owner of the noodle shop was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties with loose hair. Apart from him, there was also a delicate and pretty young girl in the noodle shop. Seeing this scene, the young girl was so scared that she hurriedly ran to the middle-aged man's side and hid behind him.
"Lord Hu, it's so early. You haven't eaten yet, right? Come, come, come. Everyone sit, everyone sit. What do you want to eat? I'll serve it immediately." When the middle-aged boss saw this, a hint of fear flashed across his face. However, for the sake of his small restaurant, he had no choice but to put on a fearful expression and greet them with a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Forget it!" The bald, scarred man in front, who was the Tiger Lord that the middle-aged boss mentioned, glanced at the girl hiding behind the middle-aged boss. A hint of lust flashed in his eyes, and then his gaze fell on the middle-aged boss. "Do you have a son named Ye Xuan?"
"Ah?!" Hearing Master Tiger's words, the middle-aged boss was stunned for a moment, then he quickly nodded in horror and said, "Yes, yes, yes, my unfilial son's name is indeed Ye Xuan. I don't know how he offended Master Tiger. Please tell me, I will definitely beat this unfilial son to death."
"Whether you beat him to death or not is your own business. Bring him here!" Master Tiger glanced at the middle-aged boss, then he waved his hand behind him.
Under Master Tiger's command, the gangster who carried the young man walked in and directly threw the young man on the ground.
"This, this …" Seeing his son lying on the ground, whether he was alive or dead, the middle-aged boss's hands trembled. He was so worried that he couldn't even speak.
"Brother, brother, what happened to you, brother …" When the girl who was hiding behind the middle-aged boss saw the young man lying on the ground, she immediately forgot her fear and ran up to the young man with tears in her eyes. She ran to the young man's side and checked his injuries while shouting in horror.
"Lord Hu, Lord Hu, may I know how my son offended you?" The middle-aged boss raised his pale face, suppressed the worry in his heart, and looked at Master Tiger.
"Take a look for yourself!" Master Tiger was already used to this kind of situation. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over.
The middle-aged boss was surprised, but he quickly took the piece of paper from Master Tiger's hand. When he looked at it, his originally pale face suddenly became whiter than the white paper, and a trace of fear appeared on his face.
The reason why the middle-aged boss behaved this way was because on that piece of paper, the word "IOU" was written in big letters at the top. The figure in the middle was 250,000 yuan, and the name of the borrower at the bottom was "Ye Xuan" in big letters.
"This is the IOU that your son borrowed from our casino last night. It's a total of 250,000 yuan. It's written in black and white. Don't even think of going back on your word. You know what kind of person I am. And even if this matter is brought to the military, I'm not afraid. It's only right to repay a debt. "Master Tiger looked at the middle-aged boss coldly.
The middle-aged boss held the IOU in his hand, his whole body trembled, and his mind was blank for a moment. "This, Master Tiger, could it be a mistake? Why would my son borrow so much money?"
"You're going to go back on your word, aren't you?" Hearing the middle-aged boss's words, Master Tiger's face turned cold, and the men behind him also stood up with murderous expressions.
"No, no, no, Master Tiger, you've misunderstood, you've misunderstood. It's just, it's just that this amount is too much, you, you …" The middle-aged boss trembled.
"It's a lot, right? Fine, then I won't make things difficult for you. I'll take your son away. Tomorrow, you can go to the suburbs to collect his corpse!" Master Tiger said coldly.
Looking at his son on the ground, he didn't know if he was alive or not, he wanted to leave him alone, but he only had this one son, and he couldn't bear to do it.
Looking at the cold face of Master Tiger and the dozen or so men behind him, the middle-aged boss's legs softened, and he knelt down with a thud. "No, Master Tiger, please do me a favor. This, this amount is too much, I, I can't gather it in a short time!"
"You can't gather it, right? Fine, don't say that I'm not giving you a way out. Three days, I'll give you three days to gather the money. If you can't gather the money in three days, don't blame me for being ruthless." Master Tiger said coldly. He originally wanted to turn around and leave, but then he suddenly stopped, "Right, don't think about running away. Otherwise, if I catch you, I'll first catch you and your son to feed the monsters, and then let your daughter serve our brothers in the gang to pay off the debt. Haha, let's go!"
After saying that, Tiger Lord looked at the girl on the ground with a lustful gaze and laughed arrogantly. Then, he walked out with the hoodlums below him.
"Dad, I, what should we do?" The girl on the ground looked at Boss Ye with tears in her eyes.
"Ai, it's a sin!" Looking at his frightened daughter and son whose life and death were unknown, Boss Ye sighed and walked over to help his son up. "Xue 'er, don't cry. Come, let's help your brother upstairs first. Dad will think of a way to deal with the rest."
Then, the girl closed the door first, and then the father and son helped the unconscious young man up the stairs …
