Chapter 37 The Red Sentinel Gang
Chapter 37 The Red Sentinel Gang
After quickly flipping through the stacks of documents, Fang Jin understood the whole story. His mind worked like lightning, and two seconds later he made up his mind.
Following Jin Fugui's last wishes, he continued to cooperate with the Red Whistle Gang. He was still unclear about his own strength in the black market, and it was too risky for him to fight against multiple wolves on his own.
However, what made him somewhat complain was... the black market even had contracts? A bunch of shady characters acting independently while upholding the law? And Fang Jin's first thought was to take advantage of him completely...
"You guys are making me feel like a really bad person..."
"When have you ever been a decent person?"
Guo Shi, sporting eyeshadow, rolled his eyes, then pulled a bright red whistle from his pocket, carefully hung it on the shop's outward-facing handle, and turned to say,
"Let's leave here first and go to our Red Sentinel Gang's territory. This place is practically a gathering point for multiple spies. The probability of being eavesdropped on while discussing business in the shops is far too high."
"This way we can hold out for a while longer. Most of those sent to scout aren't players. The Red Sentinel Gang isn't ranked very high in the entire black market, but it's enough to deter ordinary people."
"Perfect timing, as agreed... it's time for you to meet our boss."
"it is good."
Fang Jin readily agreed. He realized that even in a society where everyone was a player, only a minority could truly gain power through the life-or-death dungeons. He was still happy to meet other players.
"I hope this will be a pleasant conversation."
Then he was ambushed.
……
The meeting place was supposed to be a rooftop garden, though it wasn't actually that luxurious. Half of the top floor of a roughly ten-story building had been carved out and furnished with a swimming pool, plastic tables, and a garden.
As for the other half, it's a bar run by the Red Sentinel Gang. When things are going well, the candlelight is dim and the music is elegant. If you move the tables and chairs around, you can even have a medieval waltz...
But Fang Jin arrived at an inopportune time. Upon entering, he was met with a cacophony of smoke and incessant cursing. The dented sphere on the ceiling spun and flashed, and half of the bar counter's liquor cabinet was smashed to pieces! The scene was so chaotic that he wanted to turn around and run away.
"You guys... just went through a fierce battle?"
"No? Most of the other gangs in the area have been bought up by the Chamber of Commerce, so the brothers have been behaving themselves lately... Damn it, who the hell smashed half of my wine cellar?!"
"Damn... I need to chug down dozens of bottles before my partner gets hit..."
Then, the whole bar was in chaos. Guo Shi and Guo San shamelessly charged into the large group of blond and purple-haired people and started a group fight. Within two minutes, they were already bruised and battered.
The Red Sentinel Gang values freedom and survival, and recruits impoverished people from the black market who have no fixed abode. It is said that the original founder of the gang dreamed of having a warm and loving family.
...His dream was half realized, while the other half shattered into pieces.
Members inspired by the ideal of freedom, even if they were initially decent, quickly developed habits of smoking, drinking, and smoking, and dedicated their lives to this great cause of being a sleuth.
Fortunately, jokes aside, no one would actually do anything to hurt or betray their family, a quality that is quite rare anywhere...
"Damn it! Why are the other half of the cabinet empty? Didn't I tell you bastards to leave me a few bottles? I even went out of my way to cover for you and smashed them this morning..."
"Third Uncle—!"
"..."
It seems that one shouldn't be too hasty in anything, but it seems that Guo San told me all of this, and he was also the first to break that rule...
Fang Jin sighed helplessly, then grabbed a bottle of champagne and quietly opened the glass door leading to the rooftop garden, escaping from that smoky and chaotic environment.
Guo Shi had already told him when he arrived that the leader of the Red Sentinel Gang was waiting for him in the garden, and that the only two players in the entire building were discussing cooperation matters, so they wouldn't be accompanying him inside.
"So mysterious..."
Braving the cold evening wind, Fang Jin took two sips of champagne from the bottle. The taste was a bit rougher than the one produced by the system, but the strength and aroma were much richer.
Fang Jin had never met the leader of the Red Whistle Gang before, a fact he had already investigated openly and covertly, but he did not think Jin Fugui's choice was hasty.
The Red Sentinel Gang has no players, at least Fang Jin didn't see it just now, but they still have a considerable number of members in the black market, and can even openly acquire their own assets.
If they were just a group of ordinary people, it would be unimaginable in the black market teeming with wolves. This indirectly proves that the Red Sentinel Gang does indeed have players, and... no one knows who they are.
This is very special. No one knows who the real leader of the Red Sentry Gang is, so it is impossible to fundamentally defeat or destroy this gang, because the player is undoubtedly the absolute core of this small organization.
Not knowing... means possessing special methods and skills for "concealing," a trait that is actually a plus in cooperation. If the roles were reversed, Fang Jin would also choose to cooperate with the Red Whistle Gang.
"even……"
Pausing her thoughts, Fang Jin had already walked to the center of the garden. A set of white plastic tables was placed at the junction of the flowerbeds and the swimming pool. Coupled with the champagne Fang Jin had brought, it was simply the perfect meeting place.
But just as he expected... there was no one there.
"On the contrary, my side seems to have too few chips."
Fang Jin smiled with relief, and at the same time, the furnace mode was immediately activated! Bright, blazing currents filled the blood vessels in his legs, and steam rose from his knees. He immediately rolled forward!
"Bang—!"
In the twilight, a deep sound like a sniper rifle suddenly rang out from behind, followed by an airburst that grazed past his calf. Had he been a step slower, his chest would have been pierced right now!
Fang Jin could clearly feel the momentum from the tip of the bullet. The intense tremor shook his leg bones even from a distance, and when it hit the ground, it blasted out a crater the size of a palm!
"This assessment is really tough!"
Fang Jin steadied himself with several forward rolls, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth. Clearly, the Red Sentinel Gang had doubts about the cooperation and were testing his mettle as a player!
Fang Jin could understand the gang leader's choice. After all, it was a high-stakes gamble. Even if they won the bet on the right suit, but the result was not satisfactory, no one would risk the future of the Red Whistle Gang on such a cooperation.
"But who gave you the right to stand on high and use your superior attitude to 'assess' me?"
"You think you're worthy?"
"Let's see who reveals your true colors first, or who gets shot dead on this very rooftop garden!"
