Chapter 38

Chaos!

At a single glance, the casino before them was very dark, the lights flickering, occasionally emitting a buzzing sound as if already broken, and within their line of sight, the gambling tables had been flipped over, some even snapped in two, the furniture all knocked to the floor, shattered into piece after piece.

A faint smell of blood surged toward them the instant they pushed open the door.

From faint, to thick!

"……"

"……"

"……"

The scene before their eyes directly shocked and unsettled the underlings of the Black Cat Hotel.

"What hap—"

"—pened?"

Everyone's head was a little dazed.

"……"

After a moment's hesitation, the burly man leading them stepped in first, walking while surveying the surroundings.

Once he had walked in, his expression grew increasingly uneasy, because on the furniture, the walls, the floor, there was actually blood splashed everywhere, and as they walked in.

Bang!

The sound of fighting suddenly came.

In an instant.

All the Black Cat Hotel underlings drew their weapons, their expressions taut; the dimly lit casino, in its current state, was like a haunted house, filled with eeriness and unease, and any slight movement would make one's whole body tremble!

But very soon.

Before their eyes, silence returned once more.

Before them was the casino's front hall.

Carrying unease.

The Black Cat Hotel underlings headed toward the center of the casino.

But the moment they passed through the front hall.

Everyone's footsteps stopped in an instant.

"……"

"……"

"……"

The hearts of all the Black Cat Hotel underlings, over a dozen of them, seemed to stop beating in that instant!

The dimly lit casino hall.

Inside.

The floor.

Was entirely…

People collapsed on the ground!!!!!

That's right, one person after another had fallen onto the casino floor, all groaning silently, while some had already stopped breathing; the faint smell of blood, at the instant the door opened, rode in on a gust of wind and surged straight into their nostrils!

The furniture, gambling tables, everything had been smashed; the walls, the floor, the broken furniture—every place was covered in blood!!

The entire hall.

Densely packed.

Was full of people collapsed on the ground!

And these people…

The Black Cat Hotel underlings all knew them very well; they were all…

Underlings of other loan-shark bosses—after all, they dealt with each other often and all recognized one another—and what frightened the Black Cat Hotel underlings most was.

Some of those they knew were already dead.

And just then.

"Come in."

A calm, serene, yet hoarse voice drifted in along with the blood-tinged wind, rising from the deepest part of the hall.

The appearance of the voice made the Black Cat Hotel underlings' hair stand on end in an instant.

"……"

"……"

"……"

After a moment's hesitation, the leader of the Black Cat Hotel led his underlings forward step by step, passing over the bodies of these collapsed loan-shark underlings one by one; the Black Cat Hotel underlings' faces were full of terror and unease.

Especially when, upon drawing closer, they saw the way some of the underlings had died…

Extremely gruesome!

Severed hands, severed feet, sunken chests, exposed bones, flesh split open—every kind of horrible state was present; even though most were not dead, they now only dared groan silently, unable to move, their faces pale.

With every step.

The pressure in their hearts increased by another layer; a thought of escape circled in their minds, yet the eerie, unsettling surroundings kept them from daring to show even the slightest hint of running.

"……"

Hum.

As they drew closer and closer, they soon saw the office behind the hall; before the office, no fewer than twenty-odd loan-shark underlings lay sprawled out, some twitching, some faces full of agony, yet unable to make even a single sound.

And within their line of sight.

The instant they saw the office, their pupils contracted sharply!

The office.

It was very dim.

The lights seemed to have been smashed too.

In that dim scene, a figure sat quietly on the main desk of the office. In the gloom, the figure flickered in and out of a few faint rays of light, and through those faint rays of light—

They saw…

The figure seemed to be wearing a black shirt and a small vest, but that black shirt and vest were now covered in blood. The figure sat quietly there, one foot seemingly still pressing down on some big-shot's face. Behind the figure stood two more silhouettes, standing in the darkness, as if waiting for them.

"Click."

The sound of a lighter.

The figure bent slightly, lighting a cigarette, borrowing the faint glow of the flame.

In an instant.

All the underlings of the Black Cat Hotel saw that figure's face. But the instant they saw it, their feet involuntarily stepped backward.

They didn't recognize that face—the features were quite fair and delicate—but now that face was almost entirely covered in blood. Only a pair of calm eyes, under the faint glow of the lighter's flame, swept a casual glance over them. And that single glance made them feel a chill descend upon them.

It was a feeling of…

Being stared down by the Grim Reaper in an instant.

【026】 Shock from Lei Kesi, and… admiration! 【6 updates】

"Come in."

The figure said nothing.

From behind, a muffled, deep voice rang out—it was one of the big, burly men standing behind the figure, his body covered in muscle and also stained with blood.

"We've been waiting for you…"

"For a long time."

"Black Cat Hotel."

The big man continued.

The figure,

meanwhile, just sat quietly on the desk smoking, his calm eyes looking straight ahead.

"Who are you…"

Even though he already knew the answer, the boss of the Black Cat Hotel still couldn't help asking.

"This is the boss of our Tai'an Street."

"Brother Yanwang."
