Chasing Light City, Brand Villa in the city district.

Although it was already late at night, Estina was still cultivating the training technique in the cultivation room. She was so accustomed to it that she showed no intention of resting.

At this time, an elderly man dressed in a butler's attire, with the strength of a mid-level martial artist, quietly watched Estina from the side as she flipped through intelligence reports, his face filled with an indescribable reverence.

Among the children of various families in the city district, anyone with some talent who aspired to join the Genius Training Camp in the future rarely rested, training for eighteen hours a day was considered lazy, and the norm was twenty hours a day.

As for Estina, she was even more terrifying. Since the age of five, she only slept for a maximum of two hours a day. The rest of the time was either spent in training or on the way to training. She had resolutely moved from the suburban branch family to the main family in the city, even surpassing the current geniuses of the main family.

"This Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is really inscrutable. Just recently, they wiped out the Iron Heart Gang and stood against those four major forces, and now they have eliminated the Two-Headed Gang overnight. Have you found out what this Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is all about?" Estina asked after finishing reading the intelligence report.

Even though Estina didn't turn her head and was wearing a metal mask that concealed her appearance, the elderly man inexplicably felt as if Estina was watching him, and quickly replied respectfully, "All we could find is that this Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall suddenly emerged in the abandoned area, almost as if it appeared out of nowhere. Besides that, there is nothing else, and no related forces were found in major surrounding cities."

"This Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is indeed interesting. Even though it is not a major force from surrounding cities, it managed to deploy six martial artists in one go to take down mid-level martial artists wearing B3 Level battle armor. It seems I must visit the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall." Estina said with a smile.

"Miss Tina, now many forces suspect that the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall has paid a great price to hire Bone Forger Realm martial artists to assassinate Nissen Walker. If you go to the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall now, it might prompt an investigation and unnecessary misunderstandings from the city's higher-ups." The elderly man, seeing Estina preparing to go to the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, said anxiously.

Although the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's removal of the Two-Headed Gang is impressive, hiring Bone Forger Realm martial artists to assassinate martial artists within the city is a major taboo within the city, and the city's higher-ups definitely won't let the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall off easily. As for the forces associated with the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, they might also suffer.

"That's just speculation." Estina said indifferently. "Besides, I don't think the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall would do something so foolish. Additionally, considering that the city's higher-ups haven't taken any action, it indicates that Nissen Walker's death probably wasn't related to martial artists, and the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall must have used some method to take down Nissen Walker."

"I don't want to admit it, but such a method, not even the four major forces have it. Relying on this method, the current Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is enough to rank among the top forces in the suburbs, and it happens to be a good opportunity for our Brand Clan to affiliate with them."

"Did they use a special method to kill Nissen Walker?" The elderly man was shocked upon hearing this.

An Initial Stage Martial Artist wearing B2 Level battle armor might be able to kill another using sheer numbers within the city, but trying to have someone below a martial artist kill a mid-level martial artist wearing B3 Level battle armor is almost impossible.

The Qi and Blood and physical quality of mid-level martial artists have already fundamentally changed compared to those below martial artists. The internal organs have undergone preliminary strengthening, and simply with their rich Qi and Blood, they can easily resist the power used by quasi-martial artists. Moreover, once their Qi and Blood erupt, they can easily withstand attacks of up to a thousand kilograms of strength, not to mention they're wearing the B3 Level battle armor that greatly reduces impact and power.

It can be said that even a group of extreme quasi-martial artists wearing B2 Level battle armors would find it difficult to beat them to death, unless they completely exhaust the mid-level martial artist's Qi and Blood. But any mid-level martial artist isn't foolish; they will surely flee when their Qi and Blood are nearly depleted. No matter how many extreme quasi-martial artists there are, they can't catch up, and thus it's impossible for them to be killed by someone below a martial artist.

If Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall truly has a method allowing people below martial artists to kill Nissen Walker, that would be terrifying.

He himself is only a mid-level martial artist, and although the family provided him with B4 Level battle armor, he dare not claim to be significantly stronger than Nissen Walker.

And the news of the Two-Headed Gang's removal created quite a stir among the four major forces.

"Patriarch, it can now be confirmed that the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall used some method to take down Nissen Walker." Drake, whose figure exceeded three meters and resembled a small mountain, said while looking at the information in his hand with a slight frown. "If the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall uses the same method to target us four major forces, the higher-ups of our four major forces might soon be cleared by the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. Should we take preemptive action?"

The impact of Nissen Walker, such a mid-level martial artist wearing B3 Level armor, being taken down cannot be underestimated.

Among the four major forces, aside from the Gorilla Gang's leader Wright, who has always been reluctant to reveal his true strength, and the current patriarch of the Baelon Clan, Kedewen, both of whom are high-tier martial artists, the strongest visible combatant is only this mid-level martial artist.

Since the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall can kill mid-level martial artists within the city, it naturally means they can take out anyone in the four major forces, except for Wright and Kedewen.

"The methods of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall remain unknown, so there's no need for us to go looking for trouble. Instruct our subordinates to act with restraint from now on, and whenever family martial artists act, ensure at least two people are together." Kedewen shook his head, not intending to clash with the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall recklessly.

"But the constant attacks from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall are severely affecting our business." Drake explained, "If this continues to impact our business, we might not be able to purchase those resources from the Red Moon Commerce in the future."

"If we have less, so be it." Kedewen said indifferently. "Wright and I, those old fellows, are both attacking that level. Regardless of who among us breaks through to that level first, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall will be finished in the future. We don't need to compete with them for temporary gains and losses now."

"Yes." Drake looked at the quite confident Kedewen, and a hint of excitement sparked in his eyes.

Bone Forger Realm Martial Artist!

As long as the patriarch Kedewen successfully breaks through, any suburban power would become a joke. Even those high-tier leaders controlling the city would have to pay attention to the Baelon Clan.

Meanwhile, as the Baelon Clan chose to be patient, the Gorilla Gang and the Bain and Peven families also informed their subordinates to avoid provoking the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall recently. They strengthened the defense of their territories, clearly not planning to oppose the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall at this time.

Chasing Light City, at the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

"What did you say? We have already taken over the Two-Headed Gang's territory?" Lin Qi looked at Meng Wei, who had suddenly run in excitedly to report, and couldn't help but feel a bit stunned, completely unable to understand the situation.

"That's right." Meng Wei said excitedly, "Just recently, our martial hall's disciples successfully took down the Two-Headed Gang's gang leader Nissen Walker. The Two-Headed Gang is in chaos, and this news has spread throughout the entire city. I've already started having people take over all the Two-Headed Gang's territories, just waiting to release the recruitment announcement tomorrow."

"Do you know which disciples did it?" Lin Qi was shocked upon hearing this. He hadn't expected these players to quietly annihilate a suburban gang. How bold are they?

"Hall Master, wasn't it because six of our martial hall's disciples were killed at the Hundred Treasures Restaurant that you sent people to retaliate?" Meng Wei looked at Lin Qi strangely.

When Meng Wei learned something had happened at the Hundred Treasures Restaurant, he initially wanted to inform Lin Qi. But before he handled some of tomorrow's recruitment tasks, the Two-Headed Gang was wiped out. In his view, this must have been done under Lin Qi's orders because Lin Qi had made it very clear before: If people do not offend me, I will not offend them; if people offend me, I will eliminate them.

The Two-Headed Gang killed six of their people on their territory, and Lin Qi ordered the elimination of the Two-Headed Gang. It wasn't something surprising.

"I did send people. I meant, do you know who killed the Two-Headed Gang's gang leader?" Lin Qi quickly explained to the puzzled Meng Wei.

He felt it was necessary to establish some prestige for Meng Wei and others, as a significant part of managing the local disciples would be handed over to Meng Wei in the future.

Moreover, with players' actions becoming more free in the future, he wouldn't be able to know everything. What he could do was control the general direction of players' development. Now letting Meng Wei know that the players acted under his behest could greatly enhance the players' restraint on local disciples in the future.

After all, he could completely control the players, but it was difficult to control the locally recruited people. Letting Meng Wei and others know in advance that the players are his trusted aides would make dealing with many issues easier in the future.

"I'm not quite sure about that." Meng Wei was enlightened and then shook his head.

He was actually full of curiosity and doubt about how the disciples of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall managed to kill the gang leader Nissen Walker of the Two-Headed Gang, wearing B3 Level battle armor, just like that. It was simply outrageous.

"Looks like I'll have to ask myself." Lin Qi said slightly helplessly and, without further concern, said directly, "In that case, I'll leave tomorrow's recruitment to you."

"Rest assured, Hall Master, I guarantee it will be done well!" Meng Wei nodded, his eyes filled with confidence.

What a joke!

The formidable Two-Headed Gang has now been annihilated, and the four major forces have chosen to be patient. It's simply going to be too easy to recruit newcomers now.

With the arrival of dawn, whether it was on the territory of the Iron Heart Gang or the territory of the Two-Headed Gang, a piece of news spread rapidly, immediately stirring the entire suburbs of Chasing Light City.

"What did you say? The Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is recruiting people?"
