Chapter 192 Chapter 190 Boring Reasons

Generally speaking, gangs are all about face. If there is no prestige, there will be no deterrent power, and then the territory and income will not be able to be maintained. Regardless of whether the gang has a livelihood other than protection fees, it generally follows this principle: if it can be solved by deterrence, there is no need for fighting and killing. If fighting and killing are used for everything, the gang will not have enough manpower.

When Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao drove away the gang thugs, they were already prepared for counterattacks. The two of them scouted the terrain, prepared the retreat route, put the handy weapons in a place where they could be taken at any time, and then sat quietly in the martial arts hall and waited. But they waited and waited, from day to night, and saw the sun rise at dawn the next day, until it climbed to the highest point above their heads again, and the "gang counterattack" still did not come.

"Too weird. Did they forget?" Ge Gongdao yawned and said, "Nake, go to bed now. Sleep soundly and rest completely. I'll hold on for a while."

"I'll listen to you." Zhuang Xuteng patted his cheek, said hello to the owner of the Zhuang Pavilion, and climbed the stairs to the second floor to sleep. They brought sleeping bags from the car and rested directly on the corridor floor, without occupying the client's bed.

Zhuang Xuteng slept and Ge Gongdao slept. The two took turns to keep watch. After a whole day and a whole night, no one from the Viper Gang came. The two dared not take it lightly. They were afraid that the later the revenge, the more severe the revenge. Ge Gongdao said that he had heard of similar things. Four mercenaries who were escorting underestimated the patience of the gang and relaxed their vigilance for a while. As a result, they were surrounded and cut. Everyone's body was cut into dozens of pieces, and in the end they couldn't put it together.

With such a horror story as a foundation, Zhuang Xuteng didn't dare to relax at all, and even his fellow martial arts brothers became nervous. Not only them, but also the neighbors felt that something was wrong. They were very nervous when they came to the market to do business these days, and they were ready to run away if something went wrong.

On the eighth day, the otter, who had not been seen for a while, came - he almost scared half of the people in the market away when he looked around in the market for the address of the martial arts hall. If Zhuang Xuteng had not reacted quickly and stopped Tang Qizhi with one sentence, the otter, who always dressed like a gangster, would definitely have been beaten away by the iron knee.

"I was scared to death. Brother Dao didn't warn me in advance." The otter patted his chest and used Zhuang Xuteng as a shield very carefully to separate the muscular Tang Qizhi. He put down the beer in his hand and asked, "Where is Brother Dao?"

"In the bathroom, I'm thinking of something bad! He didn't say you were coming, otherwise I would definitely go outside to greet you." Zhuang Xuteng shook hands with Otter and said, "Did Brother Dao ask you to find out the situation?"

"Yes, I've been very busy recently, but if Brother Dao calls, how can I not come? It's just that your matter is too tricky, I haven't seen such a ridiculous thing." Otter raised his hand and greeted the martial arts hall director Zhuang who came after hearing the news. Similar to the two mercenaries, the two brothers also took turns to rest and guard the martial arts hall.

"What's going on? What is the Viper Gang going to do?"

"They don't want to do anything. The whole thing started with this guy." Otter pointed at Tang Qizhi. Just then, Ge Gongdao walked down the stairs. After saying hello, Otter said, "He advanced in the KOZ competition. A leader of the Viper Gang lost money in a bet. I don't know where he got the news about the martial arts hall, so he ordered his men to harass this place to vent his anger. But the most bizarre thing is not this..."

Ge Gongdao picked up the beer from the ground, twisted it with his palm, handed it to Zhuang Xuteng to "test the poison", and then opened a bottle for himself and said : "Go on, get to the point, don't keep us on suspense."

"The leader forgot about it until you beat up his men and he remembered it when he asked about the situation. He didn't say why when he gave the order, and then he forgot about it, and no one in the world knew what was going on. This is the most difficult job I've ever done to get information." Otter shook his head at Ge Gongdao and said, "Please have better luck and don't run into this kind of shit. I'm almost dying of exhaustion lately."

"Just because I advanced to the qualifying round? So..." Among the few people, Tang Qizhi felt the most speechless. "This... hey... fuck!"

"Is the news true?" Although Director Zhuang frowned, there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Absolutely. This is the news I got. I'm so tired. My mouth is dry all the time." Otter adjusted his belt, picked up a bottle of beer and drank it. After burping, he wiped his mouth and said, "Although they are a little embarrassed to be beaten by you, they don't want to continue to entangle in this matter. They know that the martial arts school is poor and can't make much profit. Even if they force it, it may not be enough to pay for the medical expenses. So they won't come for the few days that Dao Ge and Naike are here. Maybe they will come to your house and say some harsh words later, at most beat you up, and then leave."

"Also Are you going to fight them?" Tang Qizhi clenched his fist and said, "If they dare to come, we will beat them to death!"

"You can't stay here forever, and this place has its own survival rules." The owner of the manor shook his head and said, "I understand, thank you for the news. How should I thank you?"

"You don't need to thank me, I work for money and have been paid. You two should stop squatting here, it's meaningless, and the people from the Viper Gang will not come."

Tang Qizhi was very dissatisfied, he said, "So we are waiting for the thugs from the Viper Gang to beat up my brother, and this matter will be over?"

"How about that? You go and destroy the Viper Gang's lair under the firepower of the black market pistols, and then establish your authority over the next gang that takes over here. Why don't you just manage this block!" Otter must have been upset about the fact that he almost got hit by a knee when he entered the door, so he said this.

"Okay, I know how to deal with it." The owner of the Zhuang said, "Say something nice and lower your posture. What the Viper Gang wants is face and prestige, just give it to them."

Tang Qizhi waved his hand vigorously and retorted, "If the martial arts school has no prestige, how can it recruit students? That guy from the Python Gang, he is a fan of KOZ, right? I'll go talk to him!"

Otter's mouth tilted, revealing a faint smile, and then quickly covered it up with the action of drinking beer. Zhuang Xuteng noticed this and probably understood Shuiqi's mocking but none-of-my-business mentality, so he openly criticized but actually advised: "Mr. Tang, your idea is purely to cause trouble. You, a KOZ player, took the initiative to contact the gang, and found a gang leader who bet on the game. What do you want to do? What do you want to prove? Are you good? Can you beat me?"

"You asked for a fight a few days ago, but now you are not needed, and it's time to teach you a lesson." Tang Qizhi just raised his fist, and Zhuang Xuteng had already put the bone spear on his finger and pointed it at Zhuang Qiming.

Shuiqi narrowed his eyes, smiled slightly, and said in his heart: This is so neat, just like the style of a mercenary!

"Do you think I want to fight you? Do you think the Viper Gang wants to fight you? You should check the side effects of the Shadow Implant in your brain! You use fists and I use guns. Even if you are fast, I may not hit you, but there will always be slow ones." Zhuang Xuteng said to Tang Qizhi: "Do you understand? Are you calm?"

"Mercenaries are just like gangs. They will do whatever it takes." Tang Qizhi looked at his senior brother who did not dodge when he was pointed at by a gun, and finally put down his fist.

Ge Gongdao snorted coldly and said, "Really? If you had really heard such words before, you wouldn't be so naive and stupid. The whole thing is a gang problem, not caused by you winning or losing the game, so don't be so responsible, and don't act like you need to do anything at this time."

Master Zhuang nodded and said, "Brother, let me handle it. When you open a martial arts school on the street, this is how the world works. Where in this world are there no gangs? Where can we get the peace that Master talked about?"

Otter shrugged and winked at Zhuang Xuteng. Zhuang Xuteng leaned over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Call Brother Dao out, there is still a follow-up to the matter I'm investigating."

"Is it urgent? Can we talk after we finish dealing with this?"

"No hurry. It's just that I see that the two of you are quite long-winded... I'll wait for you outside first."

The two brothers looked at each other for a moment and sighed helplessly together. Later, the owner of the Zhuang Hall also felt that it was unnecessary to let the two mercenaries guard here for the last two days. It would be better to send them away early and settle with the Viper Gang early. The longer it dragged on, the more face the Viper Gang would lose, and the more difficult it would be to deal with the aftermath, and he didn't have that much money to keep the mercenaries.

So he confirmed that Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao had completed the commission and took out cash to settle the fees. Ge Gongdao discussed with Zhuang Xuteng and gave him a 95% discount instead of the full amount. The bodyguard worked for eight days out of ten, but he couldn't be given an 80% discount. It would be bad for the mercenary industry if it got out. There would definitely be no discount for Lucy's share of the money, and it would be the same amount.

After leaving the martial arts hall, the two found Otter in front of a stall selling noodle soup. The skinny guy finished two large bowls of noodles in a row and was slowly wiping his mouth. When he saw Ge Gongdao, he stood up immediately. Just as he was about to pay, the stall owner waved his hand and said that he didn't dare to accept it, and it should have been his filial piety.

"I'm not from a gang!" Shuitao took the money and walked to the two of them.

"What's the matter? Can you tell me now? What were you and Naike whispering about before?" Ge Gongdao asked directly.

"I worked hard with my lower body and got the news from relatives of the Viper Gang: there is a lot of cash in the barber shop on the street."

Ge Gongdao covered his forehead and said, "Which barber shop? Is it the one that runs the Blue Savage?"

"Yes, you have heard about it, so it's easy." Otter said, "It made a lot of money by doing shady business, but the Viper Gang's previous money laundering channels are gone, and they were smashed by the TV station, so there is a lot of cash accumulated there. Are you two interested in fighting violence and making a fortune by the way? I can't do it alone, I need a more capable helper. If we make money, we will share it equally."

Zhuang Xuteng was a little tempted and was thinking about how to act. Ge Gongdao shook his head and said firmly, "No, we won't participate."
