Excuse me, what's the fastest way to get to know a city?

The answer is to inspect the local black market. They are the most in contact with the city's underclass, understand the loopholes in the law, and know how to profit handsomely from the gaps.

Li Aozi is quite resistant to the idea of joining a gang.

First, considering that he had lived a life of luxury for many years, he is no longer skilled in the standard jobs for a wayfaring Ascender to Sovereign like robbery, extortion, and terror attacks - his skills are rusty.

Second, as a benevolent Holy Mother, who had pardoned tens of thousands in the Galaxy Eye Region from their sins and relieved them from worldly suffering, Li Aozi is kind-hearted and cannot bear to inflict pain on others.

So he decided to rid Dragon Island of all evil forces and become the godfather himself.

Although he had never been to Dragon Island in its heyday, it just so happened that after Judgment Day, most of the noble and decent Superior Dragon Clan were either corrupted or killed, leaving these gangster rats to barely hang on.

He was quite familiar with these roles since he had exchanged the blueprints for his Void Dragon Suit from these people.

Considering the moment when pathway fusion is complete, it's about time to start preparing the Meteor Fall Master set for his original self.

Following the principle of "since I'm here," Li Aozi decisively decided to conduct a sweeping anti-crime operation.

"All the weaklings in this building get out, pay me the protection fee!"

He kicked the gang member's door and said good-naturedly:

"Everyone, please cooperate. Wash your necks and come forward to die willingly. I promise to leave the corpses intact, thank you."

Compared to his younger days of terror attacks and annihilation, Li Aozi felt he was showing enough sincerity.

He even used formal language!

However, the gangsters on Dragon Island clearly didn't appreciate this gesture, even misunderstanding Li Aozi's goodwill.

The next moment, the apartment was a buzzing hive of different ethnicities and species of thugs with expressions as if watching a lunatic, looking at Li Aozi.

Not long after, a mighty Ascender to Martial Way, as sturdy as a door panel, walked forward with his knuckles prepared and looked down at Li Aozi with a sneer:

"What are you doing? Don't you know this is Shadow Fang's territory!"

"Really sorry for the disturbance."

As a kind person, Li Aozi smiled gently and said politely:

"I'm in a hurry and don't want to dirty my hands, so could you please go die on your own?"

"Ha?" The man laughed heartily, revealing a full set of fangs, symbolizing his Behemoth Lineage. He pointed at Li Aozi, shouting to those around him: "Did you hear this kid? He actually dared to threaten me—noble Mr. Raymond with death?"

"Hahaha! That's something, how could he dare to provoke Mr. Raymond?"

"He's courting death, Mr. Raymond is the most famous underground fighter in the lower city of Dragon Island. Do you know the Wanderer Lord? His disciple got beaten to a pulp by Mr. Raymond."

"Mr. Raymond's fists are invincible; even a Superior Dragon Clan wouldn't dare to block them directly."

Others' bragging didn't matter to Raymond, he used his pinky to dig his ear, scooped out some stinky earwax, revealing white teeth, looked at Li Aozi and the Beatrice beside him, and mocked:

"Originally, for a fool like you who comes challenging, I would shove his head into his neck – but…"

His gaze fell on the obedient yet stoic Beatrice, rubbing his chin:

"Is this your daughter? Or a lover? Quite pretty—give her to me for free, and you can scram."

"...Are you sure?"

Li Aozi's expression became extremely odd.

"Why? Feeling reluctant!" Mr. Raymond instantly swung his fist, the fist wind turning into blooming potato flowers, revealing a brilliant purple hue in the air.

Evidently, his martial way wasn't as rusty as his appearance suggested, his Martial Techniques were quite exquisite, the fist wind turning into flowers meant his Strength and Martial Way were well-fused.

Yes, that is pathway fusion.

In this regard, Li Aozi felt inferior.

[This person's pathway has only one potato flower, no wonder the fusion is quick. It's a pity my pathway has a plethora of Sequential Arcane Energy, four fine Secondary Profession pathways, Void Force, Lord Entropy Talent, too numerous to keep track of. Pathway fusion isn't so easy.]

Facing Raymond's pressing, Li Aozi said hesitantly:

"I'm not reluctant, it's just…why must you?"

He showed a pitying expression, saying regretfully:

"Doing this is not right, robbing others' property is bad, especially my figure, I just finished maintaining it today, your actions will add unnecessary trouble, which is not good…"

Mr. Raymond impatiently said: "Why are you nagging so much! I'll say it again, she stays, you leave."

"Sigh."

Li Aozi shook his head, saying regretfully:

"I'm kind-hearted, once called the Holy Mother, why can't you understand me? I'm doing this for your own good."

With that, he stepped back a few steps and pushed Beatrice forward.

Creaaaak…

Beatrice, with a mountain of luggage, hobbled to the front, and raised her head, noticing the massive, lecherous man before her.

"Haha, now that's more like it."

Mr. Raymond, with lecherous eyes, raised his hand to grab Beatrice's shoulder:

"Look closely, a real beauty indeed. Such a pity she's got such a lousy master, let me show you what a man's Charm truly is."

"Beatrice..."

Li Aozi looked at the spirit doll about to be sullied by Mr. Raymond with a complex expression, covering his chest, and couldn't help but say:

"Blood, don't splash on me."

EEEEE——

Beatrice stared quietly ahead, her pupils dilating rapidly, the gears accelerating in motion.

"(Void Speech) Malice detected, according to Autonomous Operations Charter 272: neutralize the target."

"Hm?"

Mr. Raymond's large hand paused in mid-air, and he lowered his head as a chorus of terrified cries erupted from the surrounding crowd.

Except for his extended right hand, Raymond's entire body was torn apart, his form sliced into standard 10*10*10mm small flesh cubes.

With a gust of wind, Raymond rose like bubbles, transforming into countless crystals that scattered upon the ground.

PATTER PATTER——

Beatrice's body remained still as her neck rotated 180 degrees to face Li Aozi:

"(Void Speech) The Sovereign's request has been fulfilled, no blood splatter occurred."

"Sigh, I told you, I have a kind heart. If you fall into my hands, you can still have a whole body. I'm human, Beatrice is a machine, you don't reason with humans but insist on arguing with a doll. Do you think a machine could be more compassionate, merciful, and just than I am?"

Li Aozi said with a pained heart:

"Mr. Raymond, look at you, too hasty! Now it's all over the place."

For Beatrice, casting such a low-level spell requires no casting lead-time, and with her extensive skill library, Li Aozi never knew what she would release when provoked.

This is the consequence of not understanding Li Aozi's benevolenС sentiment!

It's been mentioned several times that Li Aozi is kind-hearted; having suffered himself, he knows bitterness and ensures others don't have to endure it.

Outsiders didn't understand the reasoning here; they only maliciously misconstrued it, interpreting Li Aozi's kind heart as incitement and the dispatch of a killing machine to cruelly murder Mr. Raymond.

Oh no, now it's Ray|mond|Mr.

These gang members who usually strut with authority were petrified. From their limited perspective, they had never witnessed a spirit doll produced by a top-tier Void workshop and instantly descended into chaos.

"See, too hasty again."

Li Aozi shook his head, watching the crowd scatter and flee:

"Everyone line up, one by one, a stampede could be deadly."

However, witnessing such an extremely horrifying scene, no one listened to Li Aozi's speech; they were busy fleeing in all directions, climbing over walls, jumping out windows, bursting out the gate behind Li Aozi, it was everywhere.

Is this good? No, it's not.

"Why can't you understand my good intentions?"

Li Aozi rested his head on his hand, closed his eyes, and sighed:

"If that's the case, I'll just have to catch you back for a safety education."

The next moment, he opened his eyes, and the platinum dragon eyes emitted a clear radiant glow.

"(Dragon Language) All, death, command."

[Dragon Language Magic: Death Decree]

The next moment, the world seemed to hit a mute button.

Those watching from windows, fleeing over walls, those who had fled hundreds of meters from the place.

No one was spared, and at that moment, their hearts stopped beating, and they died on the spot.

"Dragon Language is really effective; just concentrating and saying a word can form magic."

Li Aozi rubbed his temple:

"But the energy consumption is not small; killing 237 commoners who haven't Ascended consumed a full three percent of my spiritual energy, I need a coffee to recover my energy!"

Cleaning small fry is fine, but dealing with advanced enemies, it's better to use the Pathway power.

"(Void Speech) Sovereign, the enemies you marked earlier have all disappeared, and there are no hostile units nearby."

Beatrice dutifully reported:

"(Void Speech) Sovereign, according to the itinerary, we still have 42 locations to accomplish, where should we go next?"

"Let's not rush to leave first."

Li Aozi raised his hand and drew, tearing open a spatial rift, and retrieved his real body from the subspace barehanded.

Although the real body is still merging with the Pathway currently, some operations can still be done.

Li Aozi took a few drops of blood from his real body, found some yellow paper and a brush from his body, and merged the blood with cinnabar, scribbled a few strokes, forming a talisman.

"Done."

Li Aozi nodded, raised the talisman paper, and chanted a few words.

The next moment, the talisman paper spontaneously combusted, transforming into over a hundred burly and robust strongmen, wearing square towels bearing a semblance to his true form, knelt, and cupped their fists in salute:

"Greetings, Heavenly Venerate!"
