Chapter 33: Mutant?

  Ling Fei returned to his room and fell directly onto the bed, starting to doze off, but he didn't know that a plot against him had quietly unfolded...

  ……

  In the abandoned factory, a sea of people packed tightly together, all holding cleavers or iron bars as weapons, and the least fortunate ones were holding folding chairs. They stared at the production workshop building of the original factory, seemingly waiting for orders. At noon, the temperature wasn't too hot, but this crowd was also drenched in sweat, yet their faces didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.

  In the production workshop, which had become empty and deserted, a slightly dimly lit room, No. 2 sat in an old armchair with no expression on his face, while Knife Brother stood respectfully in front of him, not daring to breathe heavily.

  In an instant, No. 2 raised his head and said in a cold voice, "Are all the men ready?" Knife Brother lowered his head, "Second Master, everyone is ready, don't worry, this time I've gathered more than three hundred brothers, as long as that Ling Fei dares to appear, I'll chop him into pieces!"

  Second Brother nodded and murmured, "This time I won't go, I've been injured a bit and need to rest for a few days. You must get things done properly, and you'll naturally be rewarded. Here's the medicine this time, find a place to take it yourself. Your strength is sufficient now... ruling Shanghai's underworld is just around the corner..."

  After finishing, No. 2 took out a bright red medicine from his bosom and handed it to Knife Brother, who respectfully accepted it and carefully put it in his pocket. He suddenly clenched his fist and let out a sound that made people's teeth ache. The black leather jacket was bulged up by Knife Brother's bursting muscles, looking extremely ferocious. Knife Brother's face was full of joy: "Second Master! Rest assured, I will definitely bring Ling Fei's head to see you!"

  He nodded slightly, closed his eyes, leaned back in the boss's chair, and said faintly, "You can go." Knife Brother lowered his head and slowly backed out of the room. Er Hao suddenly opened his eyes, his facial muscles twitching, gritting his teeth as he said, "Ling Fei! I want you to die without a burial place!!" However, he didn't know that this time he hadn't followed him, wasting the best opportunity to kill Ling Fei...

  Dage turned around and walked out of the house, his face becoming extremely calm, no longer with that humble and servile appearance, as if every move he made was filled with a hint of overbearing aura. He went upstairs and stood on an exposed platform, looking at the dense crowd below, shouting loudly: "Brothers! Our Xiaodao Gang will rise to fame! The day when we reign supreme is coming soon! As long as we kill that Ling Fei! We will be the masters of Shanghai's underworld! The three words 'Xiaodao Gang' will make everyone tremble with fear!"

  Just one sentence ignited the passion of over 300 people below, and the long-awaited resentment dissipated. They raised their weapons high; "Small Knife Gang! Small Knife Gang! Small Knife Gang!......" The voice was so loud that it pierced through the clouds!

  ……

  Time flies quickly, an hour before the Small Knife Gang makes a move on Ling Fei... At 4 pm, Ling Fei was still sleeping in his room with his head covered, while on the other bed, Yi Mo was lying on his back staring at the ceiling, lost in thought. Suddenly, Yi Mo jumped up and walked to Ling Fei's bedside, pushing him; "A Fei, wake up, hurry up!" Ling Fei mumbled in a daze; "En... En, I'm coming..."

  Di Mo's face turned black, and he turned to walk towards the toilet. A moment later, Di Mo brought a cup of cold water and splashed it on Ling Fei's face. Startled, Ling Fei suddenly opened his eyes wide, with water stains all over his face, bleary-eyed and looking at Di Mo in confusion.

  "Something doesn't feel right, let's be careful. With such a serious injury, it was probably Number Two who did it." Ling Fei shook his head and slowly got out of bed, narrowing his eyes at Yi Mo. "If you know that, why so much nonsense? I'm sleepy, get lost!"

  Di Mo blocked Ling Fei; "No way, this time you have to listen to me, be careful!" Ling Fei rolled his eyes; "Okay, I'll listen, can I wash my face first?!" Di Mo smiled wryly and stepped aside, letting Ling Fei mutter to himself as he walked towards the bathroom.

  ……

  In the blink of an eye, Ling Fei walked out with a spirited look on his face and glanced at Yi Mo. "Speak, what's going on?" Yi Mo sat on the bed, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag; "I don't know either, but I have a very ominous premonition, this feeling is not good, it seems like something big is about to happen."

  Ling Fei frowned; "You little devil, don't talk nonsense, do you have a basis?" Yi Mo shook his head, suddenly, Yi Mo's face condensed, closed his eyes, and stood up fiercely; "A large team of cavalry is rushing towards us, estimated to be no less than two hundred."

  Ling Fei was taken aback; "So many people? What do the police eat?" Yi Mo sneered; "You've managed to get by, don't you know that the police and local forces are one family? Don't expect the police to help, if you want your group of students to pass the night safely, go out and fight."

  Ling Fei slapped the top of Yi Mo's head fiercely; "Are you a pig brain? I'm not Xiao Wei and them! One against a hundred!? My abilities are all unusable now! Confronting three hundred people, isn't that just seeking death?"

  Di Miao smiled slyly; "Never mind, go ahead, I'll help you!" Ling Fei curled his lips; "Damn it, let's go!"

  ……

  The sky near five o'clock was already somewhat dark, and on a wide road, more than 300 people were walking forward in a mighty manner. The entire street seemed to be sealed off, with no pedestrians or vehicles in sight, showing just how much influence the Small Knife Gang had in this area! At the forefront was the leader of the Small Knife Gang, Brother Knife! He wore only an upper garment, and his muscles were like boulders all over his body. The scars left from battles made one's hair stand on end. It had to be said that Brother Knife becoming the leader of the gang wasn't without reason.

  Soon, Knife Brother waved his hand and roared: "Stop!" The loud voice echoed in the empty road, Knife Brother's eyes narrowed dangerously as he stared at the two people about 100 meters away. They also stopped in their tracks, leisurely lighting up cigarettes, treating the mental pressure of the three hundred people as nothing.

  "Brother Knife said loudly, 'Isn't that in front of us Ling Fei!?' Only to see that the outline was a very handsome long-haired man who took a puff of smoke; 'I am your Grandpa Ling!'"

  Dage seemed to not care about Ling Fei's impertinence, in his eyes, Ling Fei was already a dead man. Dage smiled slightly; "You actually dare to come alone? You're a real man! Unfortunately, Er Ye has given the order to kill you, otherwise I would have given you a share of the credit when I dominate the Shanghai underworld."

  The tone of flattery and regret in these words was more obvious than anything, even a fool could hear it, but Ling Fei just smiled faintly at the Murderous Demon beside him: "We can fight all we want, but we can't take lives." The Murderous Demon chuckled: "Don't worry, you're just afraid of trouble, right? That Knife Brother, I think I'll cut off his paws."

  Ling Fei glanced at Knife Brother and said, "As you wish." After that, Ling Fei snapped his fingers, and the gentlemanly expression disappeared, replaced by a wicked grin. "The show is on, let's begin!"

  After finishing speaking, Ling Fei suddenly dashed out with a loud whooshing sound. Knife Brother shouted "Good!" and threw away the machete in his hand, engaging in a fierce fistfight with Ling Fei. Ling Fei's right fist struck out fiercely, even producing some faint explosive sounds. Knife Brother's pupils constricted, not daring to underestimate him, crossing his arms in an X shape to protect himself. Ling Fei's punch landed squarely on his crossed arms, and astonishingly, Knife Brother's nearly 180-pound body was sent flying into the air! After flying several meters through the air, Knife Brother landed with one knee on the ground, his hands slapping against the earth to reduce the impact. Slowly getting back up, he shook off the numbness in his arms and secretly acknowledged Ling Fei's formidable arm strength. If not for the medicine given by Number Two, he estimated that a single punch from Ling Fei could have knocked him out cold.

  Dage blocked the punch, and a hint of surprise appeared on Ling Fei's face, seemingly astonished that his one punch hadn't knocked down Dage, who was as insignificant as an ant in his eyes.

  Ling Fei suddenly remembered Number Two and hastily asked, "What did that red-haired freak feed you?" Dao Ge let out a cold laugh, but didn't answer. Instead, he used his actions to give Ling Fei an explanation. Suddenly, Dao Ge let out a loud roar, and his muscles bulged up, making his already intimidating physique even more terrifying; "Ah! Ah! Ah!" With a loud shout, Dao Ge's 1.8-meter-tall body suddenly grew half a meter taller! His rock-like muscles made him look like a human tank! Even the over 300 members of the Small Knife Gang behind Dao Ge were shocked and whispered to each other about how their boss had become so formidable.

  Ling Fei snorted disdainfully; "SN75 prototype... Number Two is really stingy..."

  "Alright, let's get started! No more talking... Vote for me!"
