He also did not think Ning Chen possessed such capability.
499. Luo Xi's Revenge
Luo Xi lowered his head, staring at the agreement; the white paper with black characters clearly displayed several large words.
"The Bay Family Head's Last Will and Testament."
The hand holding the signing pen trembled slightly; a crazy and expectant light flickered in his eyes. He took a deep breath and slowly placed the agreement into the briefcase.
To obtain the Bay Family, he had "coerced" Luo Wen in the name of a biological brother, threatening him into signing this agreement before Luo Wen was hunted down by Ning Chen.
Luo Xi knew better than Luo Wen exactly how strong Ning Chen was; let alone a single Bay Family, even the Long Hu Gang might not be able to kill Ning Chen.
But the Bay Family was Luo Xi's greatest desire he had long coveted and craved. Recently, his position as the Longhu Gang Gang leader had become unstable; the underlings beneath him, wearing a cloak of loyalty, were restless, eager to pull him down from that seat.
Luo Xi merely pretended not to know, but in reality, he had been secretly stripping the power of his right-hand men, causing anyone in the Long Hu Gang who could possibly threaten his status to become disabled or die in accidents.
Doing so would certainly threaten the entire Long Hu Gang's strength. Moreover, not all Long Hu Gang subordinates were unaware of Luo Xi's actions; the members investigated and speculated, gradually beginning to drift away from Luo Wen.
Luo Xi had already started to panic. He realized that only by firmly grasping power in his own hands could he completely purge the Long Hu Gang members who were drifting away and revitalize the Long Hu Gang.
And the Bay Family, which was about to be transferred into his hands, would undoubtedly, in the future, become Luo Xi's greatest asset.
Luo Xi glanced at his wristwatch, seeing that it was already six o'clock in the evening.
A very suitable time; he could just go to the Bay Family, and incidentally dispatch some Long Hu Gang personnel to show themselves before Luo Wen, making Luo Wen feel at ease while giving him more trust.
Luo Xi drove his own car, spending several hours, until he arrived at the entrance of the Bay Family headquarters.
Normally, if Luo Xi wanted to come to the Bay Family, he needed to report to Luo Wen, but now, obviously, the situation had changed.
Luo Xi knew clearly that the Bay Family would soon have a new leader; for the people of the Bay Family, Luo Wen was merely a thing of the past.
So Luo Xi strode boldly toward the Bay Family entrance; along the way, no one stopped him.
To enter the Bay Family headquarters, one must first walk through the Bay Family's main gate. Outside the headquarters stood a heavy iron door; normally the iron door was locked, and inside the iron door, several high platforms were set up for patrolling.
Normally, powerful floodlights would be on the high platforms, but tonight was somewhat special; Luo Xi did not see any patrol personnel on those platforms nor the powerful floodlights set up above them. The surroundings were so quiet it was terrifying.
A bad premonition arose in Luo Xi's heart. He frowned, but since there were no corpses or gunshots at the Bay Family entrance, Luo Xi did not take this feeling seriously.
Luo Xi clenched his fist, struck the iron door forcefully, stepped back one pace, and waited for someone inside to open the door.
But the moment Luo Xi knocked the first time, the iron door opened.
Luo Xi was even stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and, taking advantage of the night, looked at his fist, utterly dumbfounded.
... How had his strength become so great?
But Luo Xi did not stay in place for long; he peered through the crack in the iron door to look inside.
The closer he got to the headquarters, the stronger that unsettled feeling in Luo Xi's heart became. He barely steadied his mind, and at the same time, exerted force with both hands to push the iron door completely open.
A bloodstained smell rushed to his face, so heavy it made one dizzy.
After smelling this odor, Luo Xi's vision suddenly went black. The smell made him struggle to breathe, and at the same time, Luo Xi realized the headquarters had likely been attacked.
At this moment, some hope still existed in Luo Xi's heart. Ning Chen would not possibly strike so soon. Moreover, before this, Luo Xi had not even received news of the Bay Family being attacked; eighty percent of the time, Luo Wen had dealt with some unreliable subordinates.
Luo Xi thought this way, yet he did not walk in immediately.
His sense of crisis told him that inside must be extremely dangerous. Even if Luo Wen had dealt with his own subordinates, it would by no means result in such a heavy bloodstained smell.
Luo Xi made up his mind, realizing he could not possibly stay in place forever. His back pressed against the iron door, he shuffled in step by step.
The further he walked inside, the heavier that bloodstained smell became, making Luo Xi's consciousness somewhat unclear.
Luo Xi had not walked long before his foot stepped on something soft. Fortunately, Luo Xi was already mentally prepared, so he was not scared into stepping back.
Taking advantage of the faint moonlight, Luo Xi opened his eyes wide to clearly see it was a corpse. Luo Xi had high psychological quality and was not easily frightened by ordinary corpses.
But this corpse...
Luo Xi's gaze moved upward, suddenly locking eyes with that corpse for an instant. In that single instant, Luo Xi's breath choked in his throat, nearly failing to come up.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, he saw that the corpse's face had turned blue-purple, as if strangled to death by something. The eyes were wide open, fingers clutching at clothes, fingernails rotted, as if having suffered immense pain before death.
The corpse's death appearance was too horrifying. After looking at it a few times, Luo Xi quickly averted his eyes and became even more cautious, shuffling forward bit by bit.
But because Ning Chen's strength was too great, almost all the corpses on the ground were caused by Ning Chen. The corpses lay interlaced and stacked; walking a few steps meant stepping on a corpse. Even with Luo Xi's strong psychological quality, he dared not continue forward now. This place was like a human hell, making Luo Xi ponder involuntarily.
Could it be that Ning Chen really came and truly massacred the entire Bay Family?
Once this conjecture arose, Luo Xi denied it. But no matter how he walked, the Bay Family headquarters remained quiet, without any sound, like a cold and dark graveyard.
But besides Ning Chen, who else had such capability to massacre the entire Bay Family clean within a single day?
Finally, Luo Xi still chose to leave the Bay Family headquarters for the time being. After all, the threat of staying here was too great; no one knew whether the murderer who had massacred the entire Bay Family headquarters was still inside.
On the other side, after Ning Chen finished this matter, his whole body relaxed.
Revenge, these two words, for Ning Chen, perhaps once were a shackle, but now it was different.
When Ning Chen possessed sufficient strength, those things that once troubled Ning Chen were no longer matters at all. For Ning Chen, dealing with a Bay Family was merely a matter of casually moving his hands.
500. The Confrontation with the Long Hu Gang
The Bay Family had been cleaned up by him. If nothing unexpected happened, the next ones to come looking for trouble should be people from the Long Hu Gang.
Ning Chen had heard slightly of the Long Hu Gang and knew the gang's greatest characteristic was decisive action. The Long Hu Gang led by Luo Xi had, for a very long time, been the nightmare of various families.
Luo Xi, like Luo Wen, had stained his hands with the blood of countless people. If Luo Xi truly had the courage to come knocking for trouble, Ning Chen would be willing to eliminate harm for the people.
However, if Luo Xi did not provoke actively, Ning Chen had no need to seek trouble actively. After all, it is better to have fewer troubles than more. Ning Chen did not really want to run into people from the Long Hu Gang.
They were all people of heinous crimes; killing them would only dirty Ning Chen's own hands.
At this moment, Ning Chen did not know Luo Xi had already entered the Bay Family's main base, nor did he know Luo Xi had already started preparing to surround and attempt to kill him.
When Luo Xi returned to the Bay Family the next morning, he was stunned by the scene before his eyes.
Although he had thought about what a human hell the Bay Family headquarters would look like, only when seeing that scene with his own eyes did he feel fear and incredulity.
The corpses of those Bay Family people lay scattered haphazardly on the ground; the expression on every single person was equally fearful and painful.
The expression on almost everyone's face in their final moments before death was exactly the same as what Luo Xi had seen the night before: identical fear. This made Luo Xi suspect whether these people suffered a unified attack before death.
Moreover, one person fighting the entire Bay Family single-handedly would make anyone think it was incredible. If this matter had not truly happened before Luo Xi's eyes, even if they pressed Luo Xi's head down, he might not necessarily believe it.
Luo Xi returned this time with nearly fifty members of the Long Hu Gang, truly worried that Ning Chen might still be lying in ambush at the Gulf Family's base.
Luo Xi did not bring many subordinates either; after all, he knew that if Ning Chen were truly lying in ambush inside the Gulf Family headquarters, even if Luo Xi brought half the Long Hu Gang, it might not be useful.
But Luo Xi still believed the Long Hu Gang's strength surpassed that of the Gulf Family; now that the Gulf Family had been wiped out by Ning Chen, the only way to revive the Long Hu Gang was to lead its members in killing Ning Chen.
This would not only establish his authority within the Long Hu Gang but also avenge the people of the Gulf Family; after all, the Gulf Family did not have only one headquarters. Although the strength of the Gulf Family's branches could not compare to the headquarters, if he could gain the support of several branches, it would be better than nothing for Luo Xi.
So on the very day Luo Xi returned from the Gulf Family, he had already prepared to assemble the Long Hu Gang members for an encirclement.
The process was somewhat unsatisfactory; it was because of this that Luo Xi realized there were still so many people in the Long Hu Gang who were disloyal to him.
Fortunately, Luo Xi had been the Longhu Gang Gang leader for so many years; even though he was getting older and felt somewhat powerless, he still held the authority to speak.
That same night, Luo Xi assembled the Long Hu Gang members; however, they were still unsure of Ning Chen's location. For the Long Hu Gang members, finding Ning Chen as soon as possible was the most urgent task.
But they never expected that on the third day after Luo Wen discovered the destruction of the Gulf Family, Ning Chen would return to the Gulf Family headquarters.
It was quite coincidental; Ning Chen never expected to return to the Gulf Family again.
Ning Chen discovered he had left something behind inside the Gulf Family and planned to go back to retrieve it, but upon returning to the Gulf Family, he suddenly noticed the entrance was surrounded by Long Hu Gang members in layers upon layers.
When Ning Chen reached the entrance of the Gulf Family, he hesitated; he did not know if these people would pose a threat to him, so he did not step out immediately.
But the Long Hu Gang members were not harmless; Ning Chen did not deliberately conceal himself as he approached, so after he drew near, someone in the Long Hu Gang noticed.
Luo Xi was the first to react; he looked alertly around, pressed the walkie-talkie to his mouth, and said, "Someone must be approaching... we are unsure who that person is; everyone stay alert."
The walkie-talkie transmitted Luo Xi's orders to every corner; after the Long Hu Gang members received the orders, everyone became serious.
Using his divine sense, Ning Chen had already noticed that the Long Hu Gang members had become alert; he pressed his lips, let out a cold sneer, and looked up, staring at the fully armed Long Hu Gang members.
It seemed Luo Xi feared him greatly; otherwise, he would not have chosen to launch an offensive at this moment, nor would he have ordered his subordinates to be fully armed with bulletproof vests and machine guns.
But Ning Chen remained completely fearless; he had single-handedly wiped out a mercenary battalion and the Gulf Family, so how could he possibly fear the Long Hu Gang?
So Ning Chen immediately hesitated not; he strode boldly and stood before those Long Hu Gang members, saying nothing. Merely standing there, those Long Hu Gang members began to feel uneasy.
Luo Xi obviously saw Ning Chen too; Luo Xi's gaze fell upon Ning Chen, scrutinizing him up and down several times, before letting out a derisive chuckle.
"You come to fight like this? Do you look down on our Long Hu Gang?" Luo Xi's heart was panicked, but at such a moment he could not show fear; otherwise, the Long Hu Gang subordinates would also shift with the gang leader's emotions.
And when Ning Chen heard Luo Xi say this, he remained expressionless; he seemed to have seen through Luo Xi's panicked heart beneath his domineering facade.
Seeing Ning Chen remain silent made Luo Xi even more angry; he hated people pretending to be experts the most. Ning Chen's behavior was nothing short of annoying Luo Xi, and naturally, the other Long Hu Gang brothers could not stand it either.
Luo Xi spoke again, coldly mocking: "You dare not speak now? When you fought the people of the Gulf Family back then, weren't you very powerful?"
Although Ning Chen was not afraid of his provocation, being provoked repeatedly like this, if he did not retort, it would not be Ning Chen's style.
So Ning Chen said, "So you also know I wiped out the Gulf Family single-handedly. You are Luo Wen's brother; I believe you know my strength better than anyone. Then you can guess: how long will it take me to wipe out the Long Hu Gang?"
Upon hearing these words, Luo Xi's expression stiffened.
Luo Xi knew that shaking morale was a grave error for an army; even though he desperately wanted the Long Hu Gang subordinates to trust him, he had to first weigh the strength gap between the two sides.
