SWNOVELXO Chapter 301: I Don't Eat Beef
As such, Jin Chunyuan's vigilance gradually relaxed, and he began to reveal some of his "words of experience."
Some of the sinister and dark methods made Yan Yunsheng and others frown, their eyes showing a murderous intent.
They had known that these gangs committed all sorts of evil, but they hadn't realized they were such animals!
This has already broken through the moral boundaries of being human!
On the other side, Zhu Haomiao watched Jin Chunyuan with full admiration, listening to him describe in a slightly boastful tone how he tortured those disobedient girls to death as a warning...
In his words, those girls were not perceived as individuals but as livestock waiting to be slaughtered, his desire to chew their bones and suck their marrow was evident, even wanting to bury them in the garden as fertilizer after their deaths!
He found no shame in it, but rather reveled in it, sharing some low-grade "fun anecdotes" from the Salted Meat Shop.
For example, how he kept a batch of children under the age of ten for clients with special preferences.
Or those "salted meats" that had to serve dozens of customers a day, not living longer than five years at most...
And Zhu Haomiao showed no abnormality, conversing happily with him.
During the conversation, the young man always managed to hit Jin Chunyuan's soft spots, making him feel a sense of rapport and speak more candidly.
"Hahaha, you really have a unique taste, I never thought there was such an operation..."
"You flatter me, I often feel like I don't quite fit in with excellent individuals like you, feeling even more ashamed of myself."
Shaking his head with a sigh, Zhu Haomiao let out a heartfelt sigh.
I am unworthy of being called Primordial Sin, you can just call me Little Zhuzhu from now on.
"You are too modest, someone as heroic as you at such a young age..."
Just as Jin Chunyuan was wildly flattering, a subordinate rushed into the compartment, holding an exquisite, elegant food box.
"Qi... Qi... Qilin Soup is here..."
Sweating all over, the panting subordinate carefully placed the food box on the table. Jin Chunyuan immediately opened the lid, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.
Watching Jin Chunyuan cautiously place the small bowl in front of him, Zhu Haomiao frowned deeply.
Although its appearance and aroma were far inferior to his own transcendent culinary creation, the bowl before him was indeed Qilin Soup.
"Sir, Qilin Soup invigorates Qi and enriches blood, please enjoy it slowly."
Observing Jin Chunyuan's humble and fawning demeanor, Zhu Haomiao gave a self-mocking sneer, and in the next instant, the smile on his face abruptly vanished.
"I don't eat beef!"
In Jin Chunyuan's confused gaze, Zhu Haomiao suddenly sprang up, drawing the waist knife of a nearby guard with a backhand swing, unleashing a chilly gleam!
Clang~
The beautiful blade flashed away like shimmering water, before anyone in the room had a chance to react, Zhu Haomiao had already sheathed the long knife again.
Opposite, Jin Chunyuan slowly widened his eyes, staring at the young man in disbelief, his expression gradually becoming twisted and grotesque, his lips moving as if wishing to speak.
But a bright red line of blood appeared on his neck, and under the influence of gravity, his head slowly tilted, thudding to the ground, rolling several times before stopping at the brothel keeper's feet.
The brothel keeper stared stiffly at Jin Chunyuan's terrifying expression, his eyes flipped white, and he collapsed like a puddle of mud.
"Seal the establishment, uproot all enterprises behind this guy!"
"If there is any resistance, kill without mercy!"
"As you command!"
Zhu Haomiao walked out of the compartment as if nobody else were there, and the constables behind him sprang into action like wolves and tigers, turning the scene into utter chaos in an instant.
Outside the brothel, the entire Anti-theft Bureau emptied out, charging madly towards all of Jin Chunyuan's ventures.
In just a few hours, an influential force in Lechang Square was uprooted, and by the time dawn came the next day, the leaders of the underground forces in the entire alley had gathered together.
"What the hell is that little bastard trying to do?"
"Jin Chunyuan didn't spare any gifts for the Anti-theft Bureau, and they broke the rules..."
"We must let that little bastard know who is the true master of Lechang Square!"
"That's right! We're giving face to the government, but we're not afraid of that snot-nosed kid!"
A group of people argued with indignant righteous outrage, but amidst the cries of rabbits and foxes, they seemed particularly incensed.
But at this moment, a thin middle-aged man gently stroked his mustache and muttered in confusion.
"Strange, Jin Chunyuan held a seventh rank, and even had two eighth rank underlings, how could they just disappear without a sound?"
Hearing this, the crowd cooled down from their heated state, suddenly pausing in shock.
Indeed!
Jin Chunyuan's forces weren't weak, and Lechang Square was just a small alley, incapable of supporting too many High Rank Martial Artists, and everyone's strength was more or less equal.
This means that if the Anti-theft Bureau could wipe out one side, they could systematically eliminate them all.
"Something's off, I've seen the Great Captain of the Anti-theft Bureau Yan Yunsheng. Among the eighth rank, he's considered a master. Even if his practical abilities exceed his rank, Jin Chunyuan being a seventh rank shouldn't have been unable to even escape?"
The moment these words were spoken, the others fell silent, feeling as though enveloped by a mysterious, misty black fog, like being caught in some trap.
"Could it be that the County Magistrate took action?"
"Impossible, County Magistrate Shao Jie, who oversees Lechang Square, hasn't fought anyone in years; I've heard he's almost done!"
"Then... could it be the General Office..."
The dry voice trailed off, but upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned exceptionally grim.
Despite acting like tyrants in Lechang Square, when faced with the nation's machine of violence, even their backers could only rapidly sever ties and clear themselves.
After all, they engaged in shady activities that couldn't see the light of day, and once public grievances boiled over, they'd be the perfect scapegoats.
As they floundered, a lackey rushed in, panting and exclaimed.
"Boss, someone from the Anti-theft Bureau is here. Their chief Li Lin has invited all of you to a banquet!"
"Invite who?"
"You're all on the list."
The lackey produced an invitation card, the boss grabbed it for a glance, only to have it snatched away by others.
As it circulated, everyone exchanged glances.
"This kid got his information fast, knowing we're gathered here..."
"What does he intend to do?"
"Just worried it might be a trap..."
"What are you afraid of?! With so many seventh rank gathered, even if there's a sixth-rank County Magistrate ambush, we can fight our way out!"
"Exactly, you can't be a thief for a thousand days without capturing one, with our hefty assets and can't flee, our only option is to talk it out, establish rules!"
"If he's sensible, fine. If not, then we have to teach him what rules are!"
"Start with civility before using force, I think, he might not want to break ties with us, since he invited us all together, rather than picking us off one by one, he's showing sincerity."
