Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 407
Chapter 407: The Bathhouse Massacre
Why was this woman smart?
She knew to quickly deal with the blood-stained clothes Xu Cheng wore. Anyways, Xu Cheng just needed to lean on the edge of the bath quietly with his eyes closed, and when the police came to ask, it was also this woman that communicated with the place and told them that they knew nothing about someone dying next-door. The police didn’t find anything suspicious and moved on with their investigation.
After the police left, Xu Cheng finally opened his eyes and smiled at that woman. “How much do you still need?’
That woman paused there for a while before finally answering, “You already gave our manager money.”
Xu Cheng: “How much can you get?”
The woman: “I don’t know.”
Xu Cheng: “Why do you have to sell yourself on this market? With your wits, you can easily find a good job to feed yourself.”
The woman: “The debt is too much, I can’t pay it back at all with a normal job. Besides, my dad forced me to do this to pay back his debt, I cannot defy his words.”
Xu Cheng: “I have a job here, I don’t know if you dare to do it or not. It doesn’t involve you selling your body.”
The woman lowered her head. After thinking for a while, she looked up at Xu Cheng and said, “How much?”
“200 thousand dollars,” Xu Cheng said.
That woman bit her lip and said, “What do I need to do?”
“Over the next few days, I need an assistant. You don’t have to do much, you just need to be my tour guide and take me wherever I want to go. When I tell you to stay somewhere, you stay there and wait for me. After everything’s taken care of, I will give you 200 thousand dollars,” Xu Cheng said.
The woman asked curiously, “Killing people?”
Xu Cheng: “You can refuse.”
The woman said, “Alright, I will do it.”
Then, Xu Cheng climbed out of the bath and put on his clothes. Seeing him leaving, the woman subconsciously said, “Don’t you want it?”
“Want what?” Xu Cheng asked as he put on his jacket.
The woman shyly said, “Me to serve you. You already paid the money, and I also learned a lot of tricks to please people over the past few days.”
Xu Cheng directly walked past her, not paying attention to her body at all.
“Put on your clothes, I will wait for you outside.”
The woman was left there in a daze. She looked at her body, then looking at the man that just walked past her like he couldn’t care less, she felt something that she didn’t know how to explain. After getting changed, she went outside and Xu Cheng told her to get them a cab. She asked, “Where are we going?”
Xu Cheng: “Xinsu’s Sanko Street.”
That woman frowned, “I’ve never heard of such a street in Xinsu though.”
The elderly driver said at this time, “There is, it’s just a name they used in the past. You are young so you don’t know, that’s where the Sanko Group was founded. The older generations that are involved in this business know about that place, so it’s normal that people haven’t heard of it. Are you sure you are going? If we are going, I’m charging double, because the people there will collect a protection fee from me. Deal or no deal?”
“Let’s go,” Xu Cheng said
The driver stepped on the gas and drove off.
After arriving at that old street, Xu Cheng took a look at the deep alleys connecting to this main street. It was a place with tons of night businesses, and there were also people chatting discretely and passing goods around.
As someone who had been a police officer before, Xu Cheng’s instincts told him that this was probably a crime nest. After he got off of the car, he said to that woman, “Just wait here. When I come out, prepare a car to come and pick me up.”
The woman nodded as she got off of the cab with Xu Cheng. She found a roadside food stall and got some supper.
Xu Cheng walked across the street, and the woman didn’t know what else she could do so she just sat by the roadside stall and watched him. She saw that he walked to the entrance of a bathhouse, and then he was stopped by two guys from the Sanko Group. That woman saw Xu Cheng making a move. He grabbed both guys by the neck and smashed their faces into each other! Then, Xu Cheng walked into the bathhouse. The woman immediately turned her head back around and felt uneasy, wondering whether she should leave or stay. This was too crazy!
That was the Sanko Group that he was going against!
As one of the three big chiefs of Sanko Group, Cunzhong Tailang had been through tons of storms over the years. He had basically committed all the crimes there was to commit, and there was also really nothing he didn’t dare to do.
After two members died at the entrance, someone ran into the bathhouse and anxiously reported to him, “Master Cunzhong, something happened… Someone broke in…”
Cunzhong was getting his back rubbed and asked nonchalantly, “How many?”
“On-one!”
“Then how many people do we have?” Cunzhong snorted, “Including the neighboring street, we have over a hundred guys, wouldn’t whoever dares to come in basically be courting death? What are you panicking about? It’s not like the guy strapped himself with bombs and came to kamikaze our azzes. Since he’s just here courting death, we will end it quickly for him.”
That man nodded, and Cunzhong stopped him just as he turned back. “Wait.”
His man turned around and looked at him, waiting for the next order.
“Don’t kill him just yet. If he’s here to look for me, get him to come in. I want to ask him what gang he’s from, and why he wants to come and kill me,” Cunzhong said.
His man nodded, but just as he turned around, the door was busted open by a guy flying in. Outside in the courtyard, there were only seven or eight men left standing in the aftermath of bodies that Xu Cheng had brutally put down. The survivors kept on backing up to the door of the bath yard Cunzhong was in.
At the same time, more and more people from Sanko began flowing in, carrying all kinds of samurai swords. Immediately, Xu Cheng was encircled by the Sanko group guys in the yard.
Cunzhong Tailang’s voice came out from the bath yard, he lazily said, “You know what place this is? I think you should watch fewer movies and be less impulsive, because when you anger us, not even the law can protect you.”
Xu Cheng looked around at the 60 to 70 people that completely surrounded him and he shouted in the direction of the bath. “You don’t plan on coming out and having a chat?”
Cunzhong Tailang was afraid that this guy was carrying a gun, so he was very smart and definitely wouldn’t come out from the crowd. He kept on scrubbing himself in the bath and said, “How about you come over? I’m a bit busy right now.”
“Okay, but I hope you don’t run away in a bit,” as Xu Cheng said that, he stepped forward, and the thirty or so guys that were blocking the entrance immediately stepped forward, all pointing their samurai swords at Xu Cheng.
The others surrounding him also pulled out their weapons and focused onto Xu Cheng. Seeing Xu Cheng move, they also stepped forward.
The big circle just now compressed and became a tighter ring around Xu Cheng, and Cunzhong Tailang looked clearly very proud. “Over the years, there were too many people that wanted to kill me, but they all died outside in the yard. I’m curious, I don’t know you, what grudge do we have? Could you be another boss’s man? Since you are so loyal, how about just join my camp? Old rules, just cut off one finger to pledge allegiance, and I will grant you a bright future!”
Xu Cheng looked around at the crowd, the blades were bright, reflecting light under the night. He pressed forward another step, and the others also stepped forward, shrinking the circle even smaller. Cunzhong Tailang really liked to play this game, and he felt that no matter how brave and courageous a person was, they would sooner or later yield and admit defeat under such pressure.
