The underground organization was divided into four main divisions: Shadow Division, responsible for intelligence gathering; Tiger Division, the primary combat force; Silent Division, in charge of assassinations; and Slaughter Division, which managed internal affairs of the organization, forming an unbreakable fortress alongside the Tiger Division.
At present, the leader of the Tiger Division was Tian Yi, and the head of the Shadow Division was Wang Wei. As for the Slaughter and Silent Divisions, their leaders had yet to be appointed. However, Xiao Yufan firmly believed that it was only a matter of time before all four divisions were fully established.
Wang Wei had come to the organization simply because Tian Yi had described Xiao Yufan in glowing terms. He didn’t want his passion and ambition to be buried in obscurity, and joining the organization turned out to be far more rewarding than he had ever imagined.
“I will definitely live up to the Young Master’s expectations. The Shadow Division will become the backbone of the entire organization…”
At that moment, Wang Wei felt his blood boiling once again, just like when he had first joined the Golden Eagle Special Forces—perhaps even more so. Tian Yi, who understood Wang Wei’s personality well, naturally recognized that his excitement was genuine.
“I believe my judgment is spot-on. As one of the four divisions, the Shadow Division will hold a position no less important than the others. Without reliable intelligence, the organization could be placed in mortal danger at any moment!”
In truth, Xiao Yufan still harbored some concerns. Entrusting the Shadow Division to someone new could win people’s loyalty, but it also carried potential risks. One could never be sure whether someone might betray him from the shadows, and such a betrayal could prove deadly.
“I understand, Young Master. Rest assured—no matter what, I will never allow the organization to fall into crisis…”
Having spent years in the Special Forces, Wang Wei had a keen sense of people’s minds. At this moment, he directly expressed his loyalty, aiming to reassure Xiao Yufan.
This time, Xiao Yufan simply nodded, his doubts gradually fading. If he was going to trust someone, he would do so completely. Naturally, he had no reason to doubt these people.
“Oh, by the way, Young Master, I’ve been frequenting underground fight rings these past few days and came across someone with exceptional strength. If we could recruit him into the organization, it would be a great boon.”
Tian Yi, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke again. His tone carried a rare note of admiration. For someone to earn praise from him—second only to Tian Xuan among the Tian Team—was no small feat.
“Underground fight rings?” Xiao Yufan frowned slightly. He had never been fond of those illegal gambling rings. However, Tian Yi’s words naturally piqued his curiosity.
“Yes, it’s the underground ring near Linjiang. I heard the owner isn’t even from Linjiang. He uses the ring for illegal gambling and has made a fortune from it.”
Tian Yi spoke with conviction, clearly knowledgeable about such underground rings. After all, he had personally investigated them before. He had even been there himself, though everyone had been too weak to impress him—except this time, the fighter he encountered was truly worthy of his respect.
“If that’s the case, then we should go check it out. I’d like to see who this person is that has earned your admiration.”
Xiao Yufan decided to go. If this person was truly as strong as claimed, he would be more than willing to recruit him into the organization. With both the Silent and Slaughter Divisions still vacant, he needed capable individuals as soon as possible.
With their decision made, Xiao Yufan, Tian Yi, and Wang Wei made their way toward the underground fight ring in Linjiang. Compared to Xiao Yufan’s anticipation, Tian Yi and Wang Wei were practically ecstatic—this was the kind of place where they could truly unleash their potential.
The underground fight ring was the most chaotic place in Linjiang. Whether it was local elites or ordinary people, they all came here for excitement. Even those who didn’t gamble came just to experience the thrill.
Dim lights cast a sinister glow, while the roaring crowd showed no signs of restraint. Just being in this atmosphere was enough to set one’s blood on fire. Compared to the outside world, this place was like a living hell.
Inside the cage, two fighters were locked in a brutal battle. Every single one of these underground boxers was a desperate man. To them, money was everything. Knocking down their opponent could earn them tens of thousands, enough to indulge in luxury for a long time.
But for the loser, there was only one outcome—death. Each day in this ring claimed several lives, yet no one pitied them. Instead, the audience roared with excitement from the stands.
“F***, hit him harder! I bet a million on you! If you lose, I’ll tear you apart even after you’re dead!”
From the VIP section, a scar-faced man stood up, spitting angrily at the massive fighter who had just been knocked down. He had bet a million on this man—how could he not be anxious?
Others in the crowd watched anxiously as the fighter was repeatedly knocked down. Their hearts clenched, not out of concern for his life, but for their lost bets.
“Hit him! Get up! If you die, my money is gone too!”
A chorus of shouts echoed through the arena, sending the entire underground ring into a frenzy. The deafening noise stimulated every nerve in the place, making everyone forget everything else.
“Bang!”
Finally, with a loud thud, the man on the ground failed to rise again. Ten seconds passed—no movement, no breath. He was dead.
“Damn it! What the hell! My money is gone!”
“Damn you! It doesn’t matter if you die, but don’t take my money with you! Even if you’re buried, I’ll dig you up!”
Some rejoiced while others mourned, but the majority were filled with despair. The biggest beneficiary, however, was the shadowy figure behind the ring, who controlled everything like a puppeteer.
A few men carried the corpse away. The winner was raised by the referee, sweat pouring down his face. His left arm hung limply—this battle had only given him a slight advantage, but he was grateful to still be alive.
Just as he was catching his breath from the fight, a sudden figure leapt into the cage. Before the referee could say anything, he was kicked aside, dragging the victorious fighter with him.
“Sha Po Lang! Sha Po Lang!”
For a brief moment, the crowd hesitated before recognizing the newcomer. Then, the deafening cheers erupted once again…
