Protagonist:

Su Mo

The Landlord and Landlady exchanged a glance.

Then they nodded at each other, deciding to first hear what Su Mo wanted to say.

Wanting to uproot the Axe Gang, it truly wouldn't hurt to wait this little while.

"Then... please."

The Landlord stepped back and opened the door.

Su Mo cupped his hands in return and followed them into the room.

……

……

A moment later.

Three cups of tea were set on the table, and the three had already taken their seats.

The Landlord asked, "Young man, what do you want to say?"

The Landlady at the side didn't speak, but likewise turned her gaze toward Su Mo.

"Two seniors, this junior came here today actually wanting to ask you both to come out of retirement and join me in eliminating the Axe Gang, this great scourge." Su Mo didn't beat around the bush, speaking directly.

"Eliminate the Axe Gang?"

"That's right."

"Then that's perfect, come with us."

"Seniors, there's something you don't know."

Su Mo shook his head and said calmly, "Since the Axe Gang's hired hands Heaven's Cripple and Earth's Maimed were damaged at Pig Cage Village a few days ago, they've invited the former number one on the Assassin List, Fire Cloud Evil God. He's currently at the Axe Gang's base."

"Fire Cloud Evil God?"

The Landlord and Landlady were slightly stunned, their eyes becoming heavy.

Back then, Fire Cloud Evil God's unnamed 【technique/art】 they had also heard of, and it was on par with the two of them.

And speaking purely of fierce reputation, he was even stronger than them.

After all, his reputation was built by killing one martial arts master after another!

At the same time, Su Mo also recounted how yesterday he had hopped through every Axe Gang branch.

However, he glossed over all that; the main point was to bring up Fire Cloud Evil God.

He was the primary purpose of Su Mo's visit today.

"……"

After hearing Su Mo's account, the Landlord and Landlady exchanged a glance, then asked, "So you came looking for us actually because of Fire Cloud Evil God?"

"Yes."

Su Mo nodded and said seriously, "Fire Cloud Evil God is called the Ultimate Killing Demon; his kung fu has long surpassed a First-Rate Expert. Yesterday I originally intended to wipe out the Axe Gang in one fell swoop, but now with the unexpected appearance of Fire Cloud Evil God, this junior admits his jianghu experience is shallow and he may not be his match, so I came to ask the two seniors to lend a hand."

"Fire Cloud Evil God's title, we've also heard a thing or two."

"Relying on your strength alone, you indeed are not his match."

The Landlord and Landlady considered for a moment, then voiced agreement with Su Mo's thinking.

"Originally our couple's purpose was to eliminate the Axe Gang; now that Fire Cloud Evil God is there too, we'll just eliminate him together!"

The Landlord said in a deep voice.

Su Mo smiled faintly, "Many thanks to the two seniors."

He had long since guessed the Landlord and Landlady would certainly agree to his proposal.

"No time to lose, let's set out now!"

"You should know where Fire Cloud Evil God and those Axe Gang guys are right now, right?"

"Naturally, seniors, follow me."

Su Mo nodded slightly.

The Landlord and Landlady didn't delay either, following Su Mo as they left Pig Cage Village and headed straight for the Axe Gang.

……

……

Meanwhile, the Axe Gang.

There were simply too many corpses inside the Axe Gang Main Hall.

Add to that the pungent stench rushing straight at the forehead, no one could stay here at all.

So Chen Ge led a bunch of Axe Gang underlings and relocated to the only remaining Axe Gang base that Su Mo hadn't bombed, temporarily moving headquarters here.

As for the original headquarters.

Such a big operation couldn't just be abandoned for nothing.

So he dispatched some underlings to clean that place up.

After it's settled, they'll return to the original headquarters.

Before it's cleaned up, Chen Ge and the others will stay at this branch for a while.

"Chen Ge."

Chen Ge flicked his ash, gaze fixed on the fruit platter ahead, and asked in a deep voice, "This time, how many losses has our Axe Gang suffered in total? Have the numbers been tallied?"

"He's out."

The Axe Gang underling nodded, then immediately said, "Including Headquarters, our Axe Gang has had a total of seventeen branch halls destroyed this time. According to clues provided by the brothers who luckily survived, the same single person struck against our Axe Gang this time. However, the force he belongs to has not yet been investigated."

"And the brothers? How many brothers are left now?" Chen Ge asked in a deep voice.

"A conservative estimate now... maybe only six or seven hundred people left, or possibly even fewer..."

"Six or seven hundred!"

Chen Ge's gaze was gloomy, his face expressionless.

You have to understand, their Axe Gang was a major gang with over a thousand members!

Yet because of a single person, they've actually lost more than half their brothers!

And it's very likely that because of this sudden attack, the remaining brothers will also be affected; when that happens, the Axe Gang might have even fewer people left!

After all, these people joined the Axe Gang basically for the sake of the Axe Gang's reputation.

Now their reputation is in ruins.

How many people can still stay?

It can be said that Su Mo alone has caused their Axe Gang to suffer an extremely severe loss in their eyes!

"..."

That underling inadvertently met Chen Ge's eyes.

Instantly frightened by that gaze, he lowered his head and fell silent, terrified that Chen Ge would vent his anger on him.

"Alright, you can go down now." After a long silence, Chen Ge merely waved his hand at that underling, signaling he could leave.

"Strategist."

Chen Ge then looked at the Strategist beside him and asked, "That Fire Cloud Evil God... how is he?"

"Chen Ge, I already tested his strength yesterday, absolutely no problem!"

The Strategist said, patting his chest full of confidence.

"Oh? You can guarantee it?"

"Chen Ge, absolutely no problem! Yesterday I specially found men to aim ten guns at Fire Cloud Evil God's Qiang Men — guess what happened? He actually blocked them all with just one hand!"

Regarding Fire Cloud Evil God's strength, the Strategist was full of confidence this time.

Absolutely wouldn't be like before with Heavenly Cripple and Earthly Defective, where he boasted in clouds and mist only for them to be useless the moment they took the stage.

Seeing the Strategist's fully confident appearance, Chen Ge nodded and said in a deep voice, "In that case, tomorrow you'll take him to Pig Cage Village and level that place for me first!"

"Yes, Chen Ge rest assured, this time I absolutely won't let you down!"

"Best be so..."

Chen Ge gave the Strategist a meaningful look.

"If you can level Pig Cage Village for me, this will be a great merit for you; but conversely, if you fail to resolve the Pig Cage Village trouble... the outcome, you are clear on it."

Chen Ge added calmly.

"Chen, Chen Ge rest assured."

The Strategist instantly understood Chen Ge's meaning, hurriedly nodding to show he understood perfectly.

At the same moment.

Su Mo and his group had already left Pig Cage Village, heading straight for the Axe Gang's current stronghold location.
