Chapter 306: Beyond Redemption

After the dust settled, Tian Yi and the others appeared before the members of the Tianlang Gang. Several figures stood like war gods, looking down upon the crowd…

“Cheng Biao, weren’t you desperate to destroy Dark Gate? Why are you now acting like a coward, not even daring to let out a fart!”

Wen Hu stepped forward from behind Tian Yi, his face still showing traces of shock. He truly felt relieved he had made the right choice back then; otherwise, the Kuanghu Gang would have ceased to exist…

“Wen Hu, all you did was find a master to serve. Must you go so far as to act like a dog!”

Upon seeing Wen Hu, Cheng Biao immediately flew into a rage. After all, old enemies rarely meet without fireworks. Face to face, their hatred flared, and it was only natural they wouldn’t remain calm in such a situation…

“Victors become kings, while the defeated are bandits—that’s an unchanging truth. Don’t pretend to be noble. All I know is that your days as the One-Eyed Dragon are numbered, while I will be the one laughing last!”

A sense of exhilaration spread through Wen Hu. Watching the frenzied Cheng Biao, he felt a deep satisfaction. He wasn’t the least bit angry—what did it matter what a dying man said? There was no need to dwell on it…

“Damn your victors and kings! I was already on the streets while you were still drinking milk. Stop wasting breath—kill me or let me go, I don’t care!”

Indeed, the One-Eyed Dragon was older than Wen Hu, and had been around much longer, but this was no place for seniority.

Upon hearing this, Wen Hu thought of that refined man who had swiftly replaced Dongfang Haoran’s underworld influence, rising far beyond his expectations.

“You should never have touched Dark Gate. Therefore, it’s my honor to inform you—Tianlang Gang will soon be gone…”

Upon hearing their exchange, Tian Yi’s lips curled into a bloody, sinister smile. Since the One-Eyed Dragon dared to strike against Dark Gate, he naturally had no intention of holding back. Such a man could have only one fate—death…

Several explosions echoed in succession, and a faint smile appeared on the faces of Dark Gate members. This night of slaughter was finally drawing to a close.

“Finish him off!” Tian Yi didn’t act himself but softly said to Wen Hu. Eliminating the One-Eyed Dragon would also settle an old grudge of Wen Hu’s, so it was only fitting he be the one to do it…

“Wait!” Just as Wen Hu approached the One-Eyed Dragon, his dagger poised to strike, a voice rang out from behind.

“Master! Xiao Shao!” A chorus of voices echoed in unison. The newcomers were naturally Xiao Yufan and Lin Jiayao. However, having witnessed too much bloodshed, Lin Jiayao’s face had turned slightly pale…

“You are the true master of Dark Gate? I thought you’d be someone far more important…” Seeing Xiao Yufan, Cheng Biao’s lips twitched. He had actually been defeated by a young man.

“To be precise, I’m not the master of Dark Gate. However, I do control your life and death…”

Xiao Yufan smiled. The reason he had stopped Wen Hu wasn’t because the man didn’t deserve death, but because killing the One-Eyed Dragon so simply wouldn’t serve as a proper warning. This man must die, but not so easily…

“Don’t think I’ll ever help you. Just because Dark Gate is powerful now doesn’t mean it will stay that way. I’m waiting for the day Dark Gate follows in Tianlang’s footsteps!”

“You’re dreaming. You don’t even qualify to be a pawn. I don’t need your help. I just think it’s pitiful that the master of Tianlang died without any dignity.”

Xiao Yufan snorted coldly, and with a single sentence, his words sent the One-Eyed Dragon’s heart plummeting. Though he didn’t know exactly what methods this man possessed, one thing was certain—he would suffer greatly…

“Master, what should we do with this man?”

Tian Yi understood the implication behind Xiao Yufan’s words, his smile growing colder. Indeed, killing the One-Eyed Dragon so simply would be far too merciful…

“You should be more experienced at this than I am!”

His gaze sweeping past Tian Yi, Xiao Yufan’s smile carried a strange undertone. Didn’t the elite of special forces know how to make someone wish for death?

Still holding Lin Jiayao’s hand, after speaking, Xiao Yufan turned and walked away. Lin Jiayao, following behind, dared not linger any longer. The air was thick with an oppressive atmosphere, almost suffocating…

Before they even reached the gate, a bloodcurdling scream echoed out like a slaughtered pig. Xiao Yufan’s expression didn’t change. He knew that for certain people, mercy was not an option. Otherwise, one could never predict when an enemy might strike from behind.

“Now, do you still think I’m a good person?”

Feeling the slight tremble in the woman beside him, Xiao Yufan’s smile softened, completely shedding its previous coldness. Before his woman, he carefully concealed his wilder side…

“I never take back what I say…”

Smiling gently, Lin Jiayao seemed to have long grown accustomed to everything before her, showing no excessive aversion. In her eyes, whoever Xiao Yufan deemed worthy of death, deserved it…

Xiao Yufan said nothing further, but a strange warmth filled his heart. This woman always managed to wrap his entire soul in warmth. Even if he betrayed the entire world, his woman would always stand by his side.

Xiao Yufan didn’t know exactly what Tian Yi had done, but the next day, the entire underworld in the capital was shaken. The Tianlang Gang’s headquarters had been bombed, and a long-standing criminal empire was utterly destroyed…

The most ridiculous part was that after the incident, a certain terrorist organization claimed responsibility, saving Xiao Yufan considerable trouble. In any case, this operation by Dark Gate had achieved unexpected results. At the very least, every faction connected to Tianlang was thrown into chaos…

In just a single day, Dark Gate once again became legendary. Everyone knew that Dark Gate had surpassed Dongfang Haoran’s underworld forces, even exceeding them. This strike against the Tianlang Gang served as a warning to all. Some factions secretly breathed a sigh of relief, grateful they hadn’t struck first against Dark Gate.

Everyone made every effort to minimize the impact of the incident. Though all knew it must have been a gang war, no one could provide evidence, so the matter eventually faded away…

As the mastermind behind everything, Xiao Yufan remained surprisingly at ease. Even if something did happen to Dark Gate, no one could possibly trace it back to him. He was absolutely certain of that…
