Chapter 1284 570: Firelight (Part 2)
However, the insect handler controls a large number of insects with a mere gesture, while Ding Hui specifically modifies individual insects, so it's not too outrageous.
After collecting her thoughts, she helps Ding Hui move her boxes of materials into the study next door, and Ding Hui immerses herself in the study, not coming out.
Fang Yu also enjoys his leisure, after a busy day, the night has fully fallen.
He finally has time to continue exploring the abilities of his Bloodline Spirit.
...
Thunder City, in a special room on the third underground level of the Honey Casino.
A man wearing a ram's head mask silently caresses the plaything in his arms.
"Meow~"
A scantily clad woman reacts to the stimulation, making a soft cat-like cry.
At this moment, there's a knock on the door.
"Sir, your Snake Pet suddenly came to visit, would you like to see her?"
Snake Consort...
The ram-masked man pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"Let her come in."
"Yes!"
The sound of footsteps retreating, while the ram-masked man in the dim candlelight continues to caress his plaything while browsing the ledger.
Soon, there's another knock on the door.
"Sir, may I come in?"
The crisp voice brings a slight smile to the ram-masked man's lips.
"Come in."
The door opens.
A woman with a grass snake mask crawls along the ground towards the ram-masked man in the room.
Her twisting posture on the ground is so convincingly snake-like, as if truly learned from observing snakes, that the ram-masked man's Qi-Blood slightly stirs.
The scantily clad woman in his arms, seemingly more stimulated, twists her body vigorously, yet is pushed aside by the ram-masked man and helped up from the ground is the crawling Snake Pet.
"Snake Consort, why have you come? I've missed you quite terribly over the month we haven't met."
To refer to the women as consorts reflects his desire to become a certain existence.
The expression of Snake Pet under the mask is unknown, but being touched by the ram-masked man makes her body heat up, softening into the man's embrace.
"Sir, I have missed you too!"
The scantily clad woman, pushed onto the ground and maskless, stands up angrily. However, before she can act out, a look from the ram-masked man instantly frightens her, making her tense and lower her head, not daring to act out.
"Leave, tonight I wish to indulge solely in Snake Consort!"
As those words are spoken, the Snake Pet complies, while the other woman lowers her head and leaves the room unwillingly.
Upon leaving the room, she looks back at the room.
This seemingly ordinary room guarded by only two people holds the man who controls life and death within the entire Honey Casino—the Underground King!
Though Honey Casino is just emerging in Thunder City, in this area, it is undoubtedly the underground overlord, a local tyrant with unmatched power!
Numerous people strive to get in, seeking favor from that man.
But only a mere twelve earn the title of [Consort].
Snake Consort is one of them!
However, positions among the twelve consorts often change, so she does not lose heart. She feels she has a chance; it just requires a bit of patience.
"Man! Next time, I will definitely make you mine!"
Leaving, departing the casino, the woman draws her sword, covers her face, heading towards Foolish Underworld.
The pleasure between men and women is merely entertainment.
Making money in the game is life.
If someone were to see her now, they'd exclaim "Nine-Section Sword Liao Zishi!"
Her title has just recently emerged in Thunder City, at its height of fame.
This night's operation is both for money and reputation.
With fame, money naturally follows.
Daring to break into Foolish Underworld, robbing a prison and retreating safely; such an act, with a little maneuvering, is sure to make one famous!
Nine-Section Sword Liao Zishi, carrying hopes for a beautiful night, disappears into the darkness.
Meanwhile, in Honey Casino, the ram-masked man gently removes Snake Consort's mask.
If someone from the Forest Snake Gang were here, they'd surely exclaim immediately.
Because this Snake Consort is none other than the wife of their Forest Snake Gang's East Hall Master [Tai Xuelin]—Zhi Fengshi.
"Gang Leader..."
The Snake Consort shivered, her eyes gazing dreamily at the man so close to her.
This feeling was quite peculiar.
Clearly during the day, she had just met with that aloof fake Gang Leader, yet come nightfall, she finds herself flung into the arms of a man with the same face, seeking nothing but utmost affection.
"Hmm? In private, what should you call me?"
The man with the sheep-like face let out a light, cold snort, his voice authoritative.
That aura emanated from him.
The Snake Consort's body trembled, she immediately submitted and knelt.
"Your, Your Majesty! The Majesty of Thunder City!"
"Hahaha!"
The sheep-faced man laughed heartily.
It's been several years since he began dealing with underground casinos.
He has become accomplished, little by little.
Now, in the spotlight, he holds the Forest Snake Gang, in the shadows, the Honey Casino.
Black and white, he wants them all! And he will hold them all tightly in his hands!
Next, the second phase of the plan, to expand both black and white territories, gradually increasing his influence, and eventually permeating and enveloping all industries in Thunder City, avoiding direct confrontation with the Ten Major Families, using indirect methods like controlling prices and economy, to grasp everything in Thunder City!
He wants to become the Emperor of Thunder City!
And all these ideas originated from, years ago, discovering someone who looked almost identical to himself.
It's truly marvelous, that in this world, there exists someone who looks almost exactly the same.
"Snake Consort, late-night visit, is it that guy acting suspiciously?"
The sheep-faced man stepped forward and embraced his beloved consort, softly inquiring.
The Snake Pet's body trembled, if not for having serious news to report, she would already have lost her composure.
"Reply, reply to Your Majesty, there is indeed a situation!"
"Tonight, when my husband returned, he told me of a strange occurrence. He said your double found a new Guest Elder to join the gang and mentioned a mysterious force wanting to replace him with someone who looks exactly the same. It's the same trick Your Majesty used, but he has, in turn, told several other Hall Masters."
The sheep-faced man squinted his eyes.
"Interesting."
The sheep-faced man released the Snake Pet, took two steps forward, and spoke coldly.
"Mere puppet, daring to have his own ideas!"
His demeanor changed, exuding a cold and dangerous aura. That aura made the Snake Pet feel fearful.
"Snake Consort, you've done well, I've understood the situation, tonight you should go back first, I will let that fool recognize the difference between the king and the steed, don't worry, soon, everything will return to the right track."
"Your Majesty..."
The Snake Consort clung to his figure, feeling a bit reluctant.
However, upon realizing the man's gaze resting on her, growing colder, she prudently bowed her head, retreated two steps, and donned her mask.
If not for this matter, just a normal meeting, the night might have had a continuation, but now, the Gang Leader seemed to have lost interest, she had no choice but to leave obediently, otherwise offending the Gang Leader, she dared not imagine the consequences! After all... he is the real leader of the Snake Forest Gang! Not that useless thing currently sitting in the gang!
Out of the casino, the Snake Consort looked up at the sky.
No one knew.
Even her husband didn't know, for so many years, she has maintained a private connection with the Gang Leader.
Combined with the fake double's intelligence reports, overtly and covertly, the entire Forest Snake Gang has always been in the real Gang Leader's control!
Returning home, the drugged old man lay soundly asleep, completely unaware of what transpired.
At first, with the drugs in the past few months, she was nervous, too scared to act recklessly.
But the medicine given by the Gang Leader proved too effective, she gradually let loose.
The persecutors beside the pillow, are the most deadly.
Every month the Snake Consort is satisfied by the Gang Leader, hence she behaves obediently and lovingly to her husband, appearing virtuous and affectionate, leaving no trace of flaw, which is one of the key reasons why she was chosen by the Gang Leader to be the dark line.
The sky was about to get light, the Snake Consort had already returned to her room and was preparing to sleep.
And just at that moment...
Boom!!
Through the crack in the window, far away, a faint flame seemed to emerge.
That direction, it seems to be... the direction of the Foolish Underworld?
The Snake Consort thought no more, lying on the bed, fell deeply asleep.
She was already tired.
