Chen Fan's face showed a trace of reluctance.

He thought about the ordinary people he had seen along the way, trapped inside their houses.

Their situation was ten times more dangerous than when he was in Chen Family Stronghold.

Moreover, the Beast Tide was set to erupt in two days.

This place could very likely be overrun by Fierce Beasts by tomorrow. At that time, the thugs staying here would be in great danger, not to mention those ordinary people who couldn't even kill a chicken.

"Oh well, I might as well do a good deed till the end. It's no big deal to work a bit harder and take them all back to Anshan City."

On the ground.

Quite a few people had stayed behind and were gathered together at this moment.

"Boss Guo," someone looked at the one-eyed man sitting on the chair, anxious and uneasy, "everyone has fled; shouldn't we run too?"

This remark immediately resonated with many people around.

"Yeah, Boss Guo, the commotion underground just now felt like an 8.0 earthquake. It must be the Awakened Association sending someone to kill again. And, and…"

"And what? Just say it, don't hem and haw."

The one-eyed man said impatiently.

"And, I heard from those who managed to escape that the Rat King was killed."

"What!"

Everyone in the room turned pale upon hearing this.

Who here didn't know about the Rat King?

In Rat City, he was like a god!

Yet, he was actually killed?

The one-eyed man's pupils contracted suddenly. "Are you sure you didn't mishear?"

"I think, I think not." The man shook his head.

"Boss Guo, I heard it too."

By the wall, another person raised his hand. "I heard them say that not only the Rat King but Elder Jin also died."

"I heard over a hundred people died!"

"What, over a hundred people! My God, how many people did the Awakened Association send this time? They must be furious from their previous failures, so they sent experts this time."

"Boss Guo, what are we standing around here for, let's run."

"Shut up!"

The one-eyed man roared angrily.

Silence fell over the dozens of people in the room, not a single breath was heard.

"Who's the boss here, you or me?"

His gaze swept over the crowd.

"If anyone wants to leave now, you can go. I promise not to stop you."

Nobody spoke; in fact, not one of them believed him.

They knew this Guo guy was notoriously narrow-minded.

Once, during a drinking session, someone accidentally misspoke and was killed by him on the spot.

That happy banquet turned into a fearful event.

So, no one dared stand up and say they wanted to go, knowing full well that Guo would "send them on their way."

Seeing no objections, the one-eyed man's expression softened a bit. "What are you all afraid of? Think carefully. Who are those people after? Us?"

"Boss Guo, definitely not us," someone immediately said. "In the eyes of those Awakeners, we're nothing. If they wanted to kill us, it would be as easy as squashing an ant."

"Yes, their target was clearly the group underground. The Rat King was their real target."

"Exactly."

The one-eyed man laughed coldly. "After killing the Rat King, they will naturally leave. They won't even spare us a glance. Do you think they would want to stay in this place?"

The group exchanged glances, somewhat reassured.

Indeed, Rat City was such a dreadful place that, if they had any other choice, they wouldn't have come here.

Those Awakeners lived like gods in big cities, unlike them who had to worry about black-haired rats biting them in their sleep.

"Boss Guo, you sure know how to see the big picture. Those guys ran off in such a panic that they didn't even take their stuff."

"Yeah, like the Black Tiger Gang, I heard they recently captured some women. Should we go grab them too?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Even the one-eyed man's remaining eye gleamed with excitement.

"But aren't they still around?" someone suddenly chimed in.

The previously excited crowd fell silent.

"Why panic."

The one-eyed man snorted. "Wait until those people leave."

Just after he spoke, there was a loud bang, and the closed door was kicked in, sending several people flying as they crashed into the walls.

"Who!"

The crowd was startled and quickly brandished their weapons, glaring towards the door.

A stranger stood at the entrance, looking at them coldly.

Their momentum immediately fell short.

Instinct told them this man was dangerous!

"Friend, what's your business here?"

The one-eyed man narrowed his eyes. "If I'm not mistaken, haven't offended you, yet you come here and hurt my men. You're underestimating the Wild Wolf Gang, aren't you?"

"Wild Wolf Gang?"

Chen Fan's lips curled into a cold smile. Without bothering to talk, he pointed at him, and a streak of Sword Qi pierced through his forehead.
