Chapter 506

It's impossible that Zhang Tuo wasn't afraid when facing Ning Chen.

As the third-in-command, he knew very well the strength of the second-in-command, Tang Lun.

He could never betray his family, and his hands were stained with countless bloods and lives.

Back then in war, he charged bravely at the front, carving out a river of blood.

Even a man like him still died at Ning Chen's hands.

The Gulf Family's Chiang Mai branch.

It was due to his position as a mediator.

Yet it remained illustrious, producing countless capable people.

The three brothers.

Kang Luo was in charge of planning and strategy.

Tang Lun and Zhang Tuo handled the fighting.

So.

If this mission still fails.

Someone from above will definitely come down.

As for Kang Luo, he might be forced out of hiding, or find a place to lie low.

The specifics depend on the arrangements from above.

But the headquarters highly values Kang Luo's talent and will certainly not let a Ning Chen who hasn't completed the Blood Oath destroy Kang Luo.

But I'm different.

Zhang Tuo knew very well that if he failed this mission, his only fate would be exile to the fields to grow red flowers.

That kind of life was too cruel.

Better to die.

Even if he ran.

He couldn't outrun the Gulf Family's pursuit.

The Blood Oath was to fight to the death.

His entire past was known to the other side.

He definitely couldn't escape.

So.

This time, Zhang Tuo had no choice.

He had no full confidence or certainty he could capture or kill Ning Chen.

But after seeing how capable the branch leader, Jiang Le, was.

Zhang Tuo unconsciously developed a sense of reliance.

Jiang Le really seemed powerful!

It gave him hope for survival.

Zhang Tuo's gaze turned icy as he stared at the dark live stream screen and said coldly:

"Ning Chen must die today!"

355. Then you can't go in.

In the taxi.

Ning Chen told Master to go to Shuangxing City.

The vehicle sped rapidly along the highway.

The driver laughed and said, "Kid, you look like you've never been to Shuangxing City before?"

Ning Chen looked at the driver's back and said, "Yeah, it's my first time."

"Hahaha!" The driver suddenly let out a strange laugh, "I knew it! Judging by your look, you're a college student, right? Anyone can tell you're a newbie. When you get there, protect yourself—watch out for scams!"

Now, Ning Chen had used his disguise technique.

He looked like an ordinary college student—plump, innocent, and naive.

Ning Chen asked curiously, "Why, is it dangerous there?"

The driver shook his head, driving as he spoke, "Of course not—it's an entertainment paradise! Everyone who goes there loses themselves. Don't laugh at me, but even this old man of mine occasionally picks a day to go have some fun, hahaha!"

"But every time I go, my wallet gets thinner, and when I get home, my wife scolds me nonstop!" The driver laughed.

"Oh, I see," Ning Chen replied casually.

"If a girl in revealing clothes throws you a red rope, just follow whoever catches your eye—don't be too shy, but don't let your guard down either. If you get tricked by a 'fairy jump,' that'll be interesting—police don't really manage that area anyway," the driver continued.

"The police don't manage it?" Ning Chen asked, puzzled. "If it's an entertainment spot, shouldn't crime be high? Why don't the police intervene?"

The driver shrugged. "I don't know—maybe someone high up has connections."

Ning Chen said nothing.

It seemed now that Shuangxing City was even more complicated than he'd imagined!

But the driver, like a chatterbox, kept going: "Are you local? Why wait until college to come here? Most people start hanging out here in high school. Watch out for scams, don't stir up trouble—there are gangs there, they beat people brutally, no mercy."

"By the way, bring plenty of cash. Though it's full of Wuhuaba Sect stuff and random odds and ends, spending there is crazy fast—just one place can cost over a thousand. If you can't pay, they might beat you and chase you home for money."

"Don't think I'm lying—two days ago, a kid went to have fun, didn't bring cash, tried to escape out a window, got caught red-handed. Heard his legs were both broken. Don't know his current condition, but it must've been terrible."

The driver kept talking.

Ning Chen didn't respond, choosing instead to look out the window.

Gradually.

Night fell.

The lights along both sides of the road lit up.

In a short while.

The surrounding pitch-black space was suddenly enveloped by colorful lights.

Ning Chen looked toward the front of the car.

A luxurious castle, shimmering with various neon lights, appeared in Ning Chen's line of sight.

If.

Ning Chen were to find a reference point for comparison.

Then it would be the Tisin Paradise Castle at night.

That was a fairy-tale paradise kingdom.

And here.

Was an entertainment paradise kingdom.

"Hahaha! How is it, isn't it grand? The first time I saw it, I was startled too, thinking how could such a thing possibly be built, but I never expected it to actually be done!" The driver parked the car in the lot near the entrance.

The driver took a drag of his cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said, "Go ahead, young man, receive a spiritual baptism!"

Ning Chen glanced at the driver, paid, and got out of the car.

That driver did not leave immediately; instead, he made a cool gesture toward Ning Chen.

It meant "Just enjoy yourself" or "Go for it, I'm rooting for you!"

Ning Chen took a deep breath, then walked into Double Star City with a blank expression.

After passing through a large gate.

The scene inside instantly made Ning Chen's eyes unconsciously begin to capture the images.

Various scenic buildings were wrapped in neon lights, and many vendors were selling goods here.

There were stalls, and a night market.

Food, fun, and interesting things—everything one could want was available here.

Basically, one could say that this Double Star City had become a foundation for the development of Dali City.

No wonder that police officer would not come here.

If a thorough crackdown were carried out, it would probably cut everything in half.

When the economy lags behind, some people naturally grow anxious and dissatisfied.

Money is the very root that allows Double Star City to stand here.

But this also causes areas outside Double Star City in Dali City to become relatively economically backward.

It could even lead to a situation where one entity dominates completely.
