Xu Jingming’s first mission in Blood Rain World was quite easy. For six consecutive days, he led a carefree life and enjoyed the delicacies of this world—Young Master Chang was quite willing to spend on food and drink.
In the blink of an eye, it was the seventh day.
“Lunch will be brought forward today.” Qingyu brought the food over with the maids. She stood in the courtyard with an umbrella and said, “We have to protect Young Master when he leaves in an hour.”
“Oh?” Xu Jingming stopped practicing his mental cultivation and got up to open the door.
The maids placed the dishes on the table and left.
Qingyu walked in and reminded them, “This is the first time Young Master has gone out in the past few days. It might be dangerous! We’ll have to rely on the three of you when the time comes.”
“Don’t worry, Miss Qingyu.” Xu Jingming sat down and started eating.
There was quite a lot of food today. Although experts like them could control their bodies at the cellular level and instantly unleash extraordinary strength and speed, their energy expenditure remained very high. The only way to replenish their energy in Blood Rain World was to eat!
An hour later, a spacious carriage stopped outside the Chang residence. Xu Jingming and the others escorted Young Master Chang out.
“Young Master.” Qingyu held an umbrella and accompanied Young Master Chang into the carriage.
Xu Jingming and the others surrounded the carriage, accompanied by more than ten guards. All of them wore straw raincoats.
It was still drizzling, and Xu Jingming was also wearing a raincoat and carrying two spear segments on his back. The two spear segments were in their holsters and were tightly strapped to his body. The bracers worn under his sleeves also had flying daggers attached.
As for Mr. Lu, he was carrying strange circular sabers. The five sabers were embedded together behind his back.
As for Miss Ziteng, she only had two sabers at her waist.
The other 15 guards carried sabers and shields. They appeared rather valiant as they surrounded their ward.
“Let’s go.” Qingyu’s voice sounded from the carriage.
“Giddy-up!” The driver immediately steered the carriage forward. As for the pedestrians on the street, they were also scouts from the Flower Moon Gang who were watching this scene.
“Young Master Chang is finally out. Quickly inform Hall Master,” a spy instructed his companion while he continued watching.
The Flower Moon Gang—one of the three biggest gangs in Lanyue City—had a total of eight halls. Every hall had members ranging from a few thousand to more than ten thousand. In their territory, they were local tyrants in all sense of the word; they posed a greater threat than the authorities.
Even the officials and the Blood Rain Guards had to close one eye when facing these large gangs.
Flower Moon Gang, Phoenix Lake Hall.
The hall master lived in a residence beside Phoenix Lake.
“Hall Master, Young Master Chang has finally stepped out,” a spy reported.
“This Young Master Chang sure is timid. He cowered like a turtle after a single attempted assassination.” Dressed in a golden robe, Phoenix Lake Hall Master looked at his book and smiled. “How many people did he bring?”
“There are only 20 people, including the maidservants, driver, and guards,” the spy said, “but those guards hold sabers and shields. They don’t look easy to deal with.”
“He’s just an illegitimate son. It’s already impressive that he can recruit a handful of qualified experts.” Phoenix Lake Hall Master felt disdain and ordered calmly, “Brother, lead the team yourself and act according to the original plan.”
“Yes.” A stocky man outside the room cupped his hands excitedly.
“We have to succeed this time. I don’t want to do it a second time,” Phoenix Lake Hall Master said coldly. “If word gets out that our Flower Moon Gang can’t even deal with an illegitimate son of the Chang family, we’ll become laughingstocks.”
“Every member of my enforcer team is an elite—300 elites! We can easily kill them,” the stocky man said confidently.
“Alright, set off.” Phoenix Lake Hall Master was quite confident.
The enforcer team was an elite force in the hall! When 300 elites attacked, Chang Yi would be crushed to death even if he had some qualified experts around him.
eee
Xu Jingming and the others escorted the carriage forward, constantly paying attention to their surroundings. Moments later, they finally arrived at a large restaurant.
“Sirs and Miss Ziteng, follow me in,” Chang Yi said. At the same time, she entered the restaurant.
‘The other guards and the others had some food and drink prepared for them on the first floor as they started eating lunch.
Xu Jingming and the others followed Chang Yi to the third floor of the restaurant.
“Gentlemen, please wait outside. Miss Ziteng, follow me in,” Chang Yi said.
“Alright.” Xu Jingming and Mr. Lu stood on each side of the room, guarding it.
Moments later, guests arrived.
“Haha, Young Master Chang, you’re early.” A pot-bellied elder walked over with a smile. He had two subordinates beside him, and he signaled with his eyes.
Aman was made to wait outside the door while the other butler followed closely behind.
“Master Wang, come on in!” Chang Yi greeted warmly. “Serve the dishes.”
“Alright, Young Master Chang,” the waiter immediately replied and began serving the dishes.
This lunch took more than two hours. Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Master Wang’s guard waited patiently outside.
“Young Master Chang, you’re really a straightforward person.” Master Wang walked out after eating and drinking his fill. He chuckled and said, “Then, it’s a deal. We’ll do as we agreed on today! We’ll go to the administrative office tomorrow to sign the affidavit!”
“Tl get the brokerage to draw up a contract before dark and deliver it to your residence for you to take a look,” Chang Yi said with a smile.
“Alright.” Master Wang then left with his subordinates.
After watching the other party leave, Chang Yi smiled at Xu Jingming and the others beside him. “The three of you—we came out very suddenly, so our enemies lying in wait didn’t have the time to make a move. But our return… is the best time for them to make a move. There is more than one entity that’s
eyeing my Chang family’s assets. It’s your first time fighting today, so you have to shock those greedy people to the core. If you can’t, more hungry wolves will pounce at me.”
“Don’t worry. Having been paid, we’ll definitely do a good job,” Mr. Lu said. Xu Jingming and Ziteng nodded.
“believe in the three of you.” Chang Yi nodded and walked downstairs.
Soon, Chang Yi and Qingyu boarded the carriage at the restaurant’s entrance. The others protected the carriage and began the return journey!
The rain was heavier than when they arrived.
Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Miss Ziteng surrounded the carriage and paid attention to their surroundings.
After walking for a while, they turned and arrived at a street
Huh? The expressions of Xu Jingming and the others changed slightly because a large group of people had appeared in front of them. Alll of them were wearing raincoats, and most of them held sabers and shields. Some of them held chains, while others carried flying axes at their waists as they
approached.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Xu Jingming and the others heard the sound of a crowd walking behind them and turned to look.
There was a dense group of people behind them as well, all of them giving them murderous looks as they approached.
They were surrounded front and back! There was no way to escape!
“This, this…”
“Not good.”
The other pedestrians on the street were stunned.
“The Flower Moon Gang is handling some matters. Those unrelated, scram!” a man in a raincoat said coldly.
People were so frightened that they immediately hid in the distance. The Flower Moon Gang members didn’t stop them and allowed them to leave.
Soon, only Chang Yi’s carriage and guards were left in the middle of the encirclement.
The atmosphere was very solemn.
Many of the guards beside the carriage held their sabers and shields, and they were so nervous that their faces turned pale. Some of them were hired third-rate experts, and they were much stronger than ordinary people. However, they were a little terrified when facing the hundreds of elite members of
the Flower Moon Gang.
“Put down your weapons and kneel, and you can be spared from death,” the leader roared. “Kill anyone who dares to resist!”
With that said, some of the saber and shield-wielding guards began to hesitate. Although they had received silver as compensation, they only had one life! They didn’t have the confidence when facing the dense crowd of gang members.
“Young Master has given his orders!” Qingyu’s clear and pleasant voice sounded from the carriage. “Kill anyone in the way!”
Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, Ziteng, and the others turned solemn as they observed their opponents. They naturally had to carry out their employer’s orders!
“Hahaha…” The leader laughed loudly. “The illegitimate son of the Chang family sure has guts. Attack!”
With that said—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A large group of gang members immediately threw out the axes in their hands. Flying axes spun through the rain, closing in on the carriage..
