The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins

Upon hearing the boy's advice, a clever leader quickly gobbled down his food, fearing that even a slight delay might give the monster wearing human skin a reason to kill him.

However, the boy who was smiling just moments ago suddenly froze, his brows twitching slightly.

"You're really eating it?"

Tss~

Grabbing a chopstick from the table, the boy flung his arm and flicked his wrist, sending a sharp beam of light shooting out, piercing the forehead of the gobbling leader in an instant.

The entire chopstick was embedded into his brain, and the leader's swallowing motion came to an abrupt halt, falling onto the dining table with a thud, as if kowtowing.

"Fuck your mother, die!!!"

At this moment, the last trace of luck in everyone's hearts was completely extinguished, realizing that the boy never intended to let them leave alive!

After extreme fear and despair comes endless anger, and under the drive of the survival instinct, everyone roared as they charged toward the demon-like boy, bursting out with unprecedented combat power.

"Brothers, let's carve out a bloody path!"

"Kill!!!"

......

Intense shouts and sounds of killing emanated from inside the Anti-theft Bureau's walls, causing the loafers and hoodlums waiting outside in boredom to change their expressions. With a few of the core members' roars, they instinctively picked up weapons and rushed towards the bureau's gate.

But just then, fully armed Shield and Sword Soldiers burst out from the gate, and Crossbow Archers emerged from the walls, unleashing a barrage of arrows at the crowd below.

"Ahhh!!"

"Mother!"

"I've been hit by an arrow!"

"Help me!!"

...

With just one volley of arrows, nearly a thousand aggressive minions retreated like a tide, leaving only dozens of unlucky souls wailing in front of the Anti-theft Bureau's gate.

Staring at those dozens of brothers with arrows stuck in them, no matter how the gang leaders incited and urged, the remaining people dared not charge again to face such a heavily armored and well-arranged military formation.

A monthly wage of just two taels of silver, why risk my life?

Shouting a couple of times with sticks to build some courage seems fair enough.

Not to mention, I'm just an unschooled loafer, and you expect me to take on those fully armored, disciplined troops?

Maybe you're overestimating me a bit...

With the toughest core members trapped inside, the minor leaders left outside couldn't break through the heavily armed military formation, and could only anxiously listen to the increasingly faint sounds of killing from within the walls.

On the other side, standing in the Martial Arts Arena littered with corpses, Zhu Haomiao wiped his blood-stained hands with a white handkerchief. The giant snake Dharma Form behind him gradually turned transparent and dissipated into the air.

"The local gangs are really impolite, I just politely offered, and they actually dared to eat it for real?"

Hearing the boy's disdainful mutter, Yan Yunsheng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Killing should stick to its limits, act like a human...

Thinking that, Yan Yunsheng picked up a couple of groaning survivors from the ground, dragging them towards the prison.

At this moment, an old man in Yan Yunsheng's grip suddenly shouted at Zhu Haomiao.

"You madman, you don't understand the rules at all. You think killing us will bring peace and tranquility?"

"Daydreaming!"

"You'll never kill all the gutter rats!"

"Without us, others will fill the void, and they'll only be more ruthless and vicious!"

"You'll regret it! You'll regret it!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Listening to the old man's mad laughter, Yan Yunsheng was about to deliver a blow to his neck but was stopped by Zhu Haomiao's raised hand.

Walking to the old man, the boy crouched down, his deep black eyes meeting the old man's venomous gaze, chuckling softly in an ethereal tone beyond comprehension.

"I understand your reasoning, the soil of sin inevitably breeds deformed flowers, and vacant niches will be filled by more aggressive beings..."

"But you feudal worms are simply too reactionary, even your exploitation is so bloody and blatant!"

"So..."

Standing up, Zhu Haomiao looked down at the old man's dazed and bewildered expression, his lips curling into a mocking smile.

"I've decided to instate some progressive capitalism!"

Snap~

With a light snap of his fingers, the boy called out softly.

"Wilson."

"Yes, my lord."

A deep magnetic voice sounded from behind, and Yan Yunsheng jolted, turning around in horror to find an elegant and steady middle-aged man from the Alien Race dressed in bizarre attire standing there, as if he'd been there all along, calmly saluting the boy with a chest hand gesture.

"Yun Sheng."

It wasn't until the boy's call reached his ears that Yan Yunsheng snapped out of his shock, hurriedly responding.

"At your service."

"This is Wilson. Work with him to take over all these assets!"

"Yes!"

"Hereafter, a portion of the profits from these assets will be allocated for the overall welfare of the Anti-theft Bureau, ensuring the brothers below protect these cash cows well."

"Understood!"

"Additionally, I know many of you have the habit of extorting and demanding bribes. In the past, the bureau's treatment wasn't generous, so I overlooked it..."

Saying that, Zhu Haomiao turned his head, gazing deeply into Yan Yunsheng's eyes, and spoke firmly.

"But from now on, if anyone dares to reach out again, don't blame me for ignoring past acquaintances!"

Hearing the boy's solemn and commanding words, Yan Yunsheng felt chills run down his spine, gritting his teeth and with a menacing glare replied.

"Rest assured, my lord, I'll cut them down before you need to take action!"

Seeing Yan Yunsheng's determined and fierce demeanor, Zhu Haomiao chuckled, patting his shoulder.

"No need to be nervous, I trust you'll handle this small matter well. Lastly, keep this under wraps, remember, only you should be aware of Wilson's presence."

Turning to Wilson, the boy instructed further.

"Should you encounter anything inconvenient, feel free to seek Yun Sheng's help."

"Alright then, the aftermath is now in your hands."

Wiping away the last trace of blood from his fingers, Zhu Haomiao discarded the blood-soaked white handkerchief, stretched comfortably, and strolled away.

Behind him, Yan Yunsheng and the strangely elegant Alien Race man exchanged glances, sharing a tacit smile.

"Mr. Wilson, I look forward to your guidance."

"Lord Yan, you flatter me."

......

Meanwhile, when Zhu Haomiao walked out of the Anti-theft Bureau's gate, he found nearly a thousand loafers and hoodlums outside still making a ruckus, confronting the constables lined up in formation from a distance.

"Release our boss now!"

"Or else this won't end well for you!"

"Everyone look over here, these corrupt officials are oppressing the people, killing in broad daylight!"

"Mr. Liu is a renowned philanthropist in the area, release him at once!"

"Indeed, you're arresting all these benevolent lords, this is tyranny, aren't you afraid of divine retribution?!"
