"Uh..."
The one-eyed man opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out. With a thud, he collapsed backward to the ground.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
Everyone around was so shocked that their eyeballs seemed about to burst.
Their Boss Guo, had he really died just like that?
"Spare me, sir, spare me!"
Someone smarter quickly knelt down, knocking his head against the floor, pleading, "Sir, I was forced to join by him. If I dare not listen to him, he would kill me."
"Yes, sir, we were all forced. We were all forced!"
"Sir, please, have mercy on us."
In the blink of an eye, everyone in the room had knelt down, the sound of heads knocking to the ground echoing.
At this moment, they were all full of regret.
Saying the people from the Awakened Association wouldn't come to find them, and if they did, they would target the underlings.
And what happened?
The one who said that, Boss Guo, was the first to be killed.
If they had known, they would have been smarter and slipped away among the crowd.
"Hmph."
Chen Fan let out a cold snort.
Flicking his fingers, dozens of tiny bursts of True Qi flew into the bodies of everyone present.
They thought they were going to die, each screaming hysterically.
But after a while, they realized they were still alive, with nothing unusual happening to their bodies.
Someone, gathering the courage, asked in a low voice, "Sir, what did you just do to us?"
"Not much."
Chen Fan tersely responded, "I just sent some True Qi into your bodies. If you leave me for more than ten kilometers, the True Qi inside you will burst."
"Burst, burst?"
They looked at each other in dismay.
Was it the kind of burst they imagined?
"Yes, just what you imagined."
Chen Fan nodded.
"Sir, please, help us. We don't want to die."
Terrified, they knocked their heads and begged again.
In their hearts, they cursed the one-eyed man's ancestors from eighteen generations.
"Shut up!"
Chen Fan frowned.
Instantly, the room fell silent.
"It's simple if you want to live," Chen Fan's gaze swept over them, "bring me those who are imprisoned. Not one less. If even one is missing, don't blame me for being unkind. "
"Bring those imprisoned here?"
Hearing Chen Fan's request, they looked at each other.
"What, don't understand?" Chen Fan's voice turned cold.
"Understood, understood, sir. We'll do it right away." They quickly responded.
Bringing those captured here?
A piece of cake.
But, would he actually keep his word afterward?
Would they be free from the True Qi after bringing the captives?
"Listen carefully."
Chen Fan's gaze swept over them, "The captives from all over Rat City, not just those you have captured."
"What! Captives from all over Rat City?"
"This, this."
Their faces immediately turned sour.
"Sir, it's not that we don't want to, but it's not that simple," someone complained, "Our Wild Wolf Gang's strength is average here. Many gangs are much stronger than us. If we go to them, they won't listen to us."
"Yes, sir, how about you come with us?"
"Is that so?"
Chen Fan looked at the two who spoke.
"In that case, you're of no use."
As soon as he finished, the two's bodies directly burst, hot blood mixed with flesh splattering on the others, causing a chorus of wails.
"Anyone else thinks it's impossible?"
Chen Fan looked at the remaining people.
Terrified, they shook their heads repeatedly.
They realized that this person was a stronger version of Boss Guo, killing on a whim.
"Since you understand, get to it. I give you just a quarter of an hour."
Terrified, everyone quickly ran out.
Soon, Chen Fan was the only one left in the room, along with several corpses.
"With such a group, it's probably still not enough. I'll need to find more people,"
A gleam flashed in Chen Fan's eyes.
Quickly, what had just happened repeated, and before long, three groups were following his orders to rescue the hostages.
With their lives in his hands, these people acted even more ruthlessly.
Even those unwilling to hand over the hostages had to comply upon seeing their fierce demeanor.
If they refused, there would only be conflict.
Thus, the hard-won peace in Rat City quickly gave way to chaos again.
As time passed, wave after wave of people were brought before Chen Fan.
Without exception, all were females, ranging from ten-year-old girls, eighteen to twenty-year-old young women, to thirty or forty-year-old women, all in tattered clothes and disheveled.
After being brought, they each squatted down quietly, not daring to look around, much less glance at Chen Fan.
Because experience here had taught them that those who could make such fierce people obey like chicks must be even more vicious and cruel.
Thus, many trembled, unsure of what fate awaited them.
Gradually, fewer captives were brought in.
"Sir."
