Chen Nan, enraged, took a swift step forward, appearing before Song Dahu. He grabbed the man by the neck with one hand, lifting him over his head, and gritted his teeth, "What did you do to the Xia family mother and daughter?"
What Song Dahu held in his hand was none other than the money bag he had previously given to Xia Anruo.
It was obvious.
Xia Anruo and Wu Yue, mother and son, were in his hands.
Otherwise, the money bag he gave to Xia Anruo wouldn't be here.
Song Dahu's face turned red, and he felt a strong sense of suffocation.
However.
A crazed smile played on his lips. "You can choose to kill me, but if I die, they will pay with their lives!"
*Poof!*
Chen Nan flung Song Dahu away heavily, smashing a table into pieces.
"A trade?" Song Dahu struggled to stand up, his smile growing more insane. "I can let Xia Anruo and Wu Yue go, and I'll even have Xia Anruo's illness cured."
"But, you need to help me kill someone."
Chen Nan's face was grim.
He hadn't expected to be cornered like this today.
Although he could refuse the man.
He had no doubt that Song Dahu would have Xia Anruo and her son killed.
However.
He couldn't stand by and watch the mother and son die because of him.
He said coldly, "Who do you want me to kill?"
Seeing Chen Nan compromise, Song Dahu revealed a triumphant smile. "The Wulong Gang, Jiang Zhuo."
"As long as you decapitate Jiang Zhuo."
"I will release Xia Anruo and her son."
"Of course, you also need to swear to the heavens that you will not trouble me."
He was cautious.
Knowing Chen Nan's extraordinary strength.
He also knew that once he released Xia Anruo and her son, Chen Nan might seek revenge.
It was precisely for this reason that he demanded an oath to the heavens.
"You have three days!" Song Dahu looked towards the door. "Farewell, no need to see you out!"
"If you don't release Xia Anruo and her son after three days, your head will be the one to roll!" Chen Nan snorted coldly, then turned and left.
After Chen Nan left.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They felt as if they had seen off a plague god.
A middle-aged man, clutching his chest, approached Song Dahu and asked, "Boss, can he really kill Jiang Zhuo?"
Song Dahu vomited a mouthful of blood.
This shocked everyone.
They didn't expect him to be so heavily injured.
Just as someone suggested calling a doctor, Song Dahu waved his hand. "No need for a doctor, my injuries are minor."
He paused, then added, "This person's strength is extremely formidable. Although the Wulong Gang has many experts, they are no match for him."
"I have a premonition that he will indeed decapitate Jiang Zhuo."
Upon hearing this.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
In the capital of Dongsang Kingdom, there were two major factions: the Fierce Tiger Gang and the Wulong Gang.
These two gangs had been entrenched for many years.
And had been fighting for many years.
However, the Wulong Gang's influence had always surpassed that of the Fierce Tiger Gang.
Although the Wulong Gang had considered eradicating the Fierce Tiger Gang and becoming the sole power in Dongsang's capital, they had not succeeded.
But now, things were different.
A super expert had suddenly appeared, one who could completely flatten the Wulong Gang.
If Chen Nan could truly kill Jiang Zhuo.
Then, from this day forward, the Fierce Tiger Gang would be the most powerful gang in Dongsang.
There would be countless wealth and beauties.
"Why did you return so late?" Seeing Chen Nan return, Xuan Qingniao immediately stood up. Then, she keenly noticed that Chen Nan's state was somewhat off and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Chen Nan forced a wry smile and recounted the events. He added, "I really shouldn't have been so soft-hearted. If I had killed those three members of the Fierce Tiger Gang earlier, things wouldn't have escalated to this point."
Xuan Qingniao picked up the kettle on the table, poured Chen Nan a cup of water, and placed it before him. She said softly, "While those three men were guilty, their crimes did not warrant death."
"Therefore, your letting them go was not due to your soft heart."
"That is precisely your strength."
"Because you are not someone who kills indiscriminately."
"Moreover, who knows what the future holds?"
"As for the matter of the Wulong Gang and Jiang Zhuo..."
"We can investigate Jiang Zhuo's background."
"If he has committed many heinous acts, then consider it acting on behalf of heaven."
"If he is a good person, then we will find a way to rescue Xia Anruo and her son."
She was very rational.
And expressed her thoughts on the matter.
"If our cultivation wasn't suppressed, this would be nothing!" Chen Nan said bitterly. Suddenly losing his cultivation left him restricted everywhere, which he found very unaccustomed to.
"Can you contact Bull God?" Xuan Qingniao asked. "Bull God knows many things and might be able to answer our questions."
"I'll try!" Chen Nan calmed himself down and then transmitted a message to Bull God in the small world. "Old Bull, can you hear me?"
He called out several times.
But received no response from Bull God.
"Let's go. I'll take you around the city first, buy some clothes, and also inquire about the Wulong Gang!" Since he had three days, he wasn't in a rush.
Xia Anruo and her son had to be rescued.
He also had to take Xuan Qingniao to tour the bustling city.
After all, having lived in a tribe since childhood, she had never been to such a large city.
"Zhang Jin, come here."
Upon reaching the first floor, Chen Nan saw the staff member who had previously attended to him and beckoned him over.
"Sir, what are your orders?" Zhang Jin scurried over, his face plastered with a fawning smile.
Chen Nan asked, "Do you know about Jiang Zhuo of the Wulong Gang?"
Zhang Jin's expression changed drastically. He quickly looked around, and after confirming no one was nearby, he said nervously, "Sir, please remember, never mention the Wulong Gang's leader, Jiang, in public again, or you'll be in grave danger!"
Chen Nan looked confused. "Is it that serious?"
Zhang Jin nodded solemnly. "The Wulong Gang is our number one martial arts faction. They make their living from casinos, brothels, protection rackets, and human trafficking."
"It's no exaggeration to call them inhumane and wicked."
"Anyone who offends them meets a terrible end."
Chen Nan frowned. "The Wulong Gang commits so many evil deeds, why aren't the authorities doing anything?"
Zhang Jin sighed. "It's rumored that the Wulong Gang has connections in high places, and they share some of their ill-gotten gains with others, so... you understand!"
Chen Nan realized.
In other words, the Wulong Gang had a powerful backer.
Even though they committed many wicked deeds, they wouldn't be eliminated.
"Sir, please remember, don't inquire about the Wulong Gang's affairs on the street in the future. If you encounter anyone from the Wulong Gang, you must steer clear. People like us common folk can't afford to provoke them; we can only hide!"
"Well then, I have some other matters to attend to, so I'll be going now. If you need anything, just call." Zhang Jin said, then jogged away to where a customer had ordered food.
A cold glint flashed in Chen Nan's eyes.
Since the Wulong Gang is so wicked.
Then I will act on behalf of heaven and eliminate Jiang Zhuo!
