Twisted Dreams-Chapter 53 - 25: Zhou Qing’s Crisis

The next morning, inside a certain rented room.

Six tattooed young men were dead drunk.

Beer bottles, machetes, toy guns, and cash were scattered everywhere on the floor.

Last night, they robbed Jack Bear’s casino. They’ve never seen so much money in their life and partied all night in excitement.

’Knock knock knock.’

The knocking on the door startled the six young men, who looked nervously at the door.

The leader, Huang Mao, pulled out a gun from his pocket.

In the entire room, this was the only real gun.

He cautiously walked to the door and peered through the peephole to see the situation outside.

Seeing who it was, Huang Mao breathed a sigh of relief.

Huang Mao opened the door and cheerfully said:

"Ah Wei, you’re here."

The visitor was none other than Chen Wei, who had just started working for Master Snake, carrying a bottle of foreign liquor.

Huang Mao wrapped his arm around Chen Wei’s neck and introduced him to the little brothers in the room:

"Let me introduce you all, this is Brother Wei, who grew up with me wearing crotchless pants."

The younger brothers looked at Chen Wei with admiration and respect.

Their escape route was flawless, allowing them to leave the scene effortlessly.

Their boss said it was thanks to this clever childhood friend of his.

Huang Mao sat down with Chen Wei, continuing:

"Brother Wei has been smart since he was little.

When we hung out, he always told me that the two of us shouldn’t work under the same boss.

We should leave a way out for each other.

He’s with the South Sea Military Lord, and I’m with Boss Zhou of South Sea.

See, he was right.

This time we robbed a few million, and the blame is all on Boss Zhou."

The young men hurriedly flattered him.

Chen Wei waved his hand with a smile, opened the bottle, poured into glasses, and said:

"It’s all thanks to you brothers.

Now that I’m working under Master Snake, I can whisper a little in his ear.

Master Snake will definitely never suspect that we were the ones who robbed the casino, he’ll just hassle Boss Zhou."

Chen Wei poured six glasses of liquor, handed them to the others, and said:

"This is good liquor, congratulations on our first successful job.

In the future, we can continue robbing, letting Boss Zhou and Master Snake take the blame for each other!"

The young men were overjoyed.

The money was coming in too quickly.

They eagerly toasted Chen Wei, who, excusing himself that he had to drive for Master Snake later, replaced his drink with water.

Huang Mao drank in one gulp, and already not sober, he became a bit intoxicated again.

He poured himself another glass, his gaze unfriendly and said:

"Remember, Ah Wei is my brother and your big brother too.

My brother’s woman, your sister-in-law, was killed by Boss Zhou.

What do you say we do about it!"

The young men were furious, cursing that Boss Zhou was inhuman while pledging loyalty to Huang Mao and Chen Wei.

Chen Wei, touched, patted Huang Mao’s shoulder:

"Good brother, you’ve already helped me a lot."

Huang Mao waved his hand grandly:

"Damn, you’re sentimental, we’re sworn brothers!"

Chen Wei poured Huang Mao a full glass:

"Then drink more, it’ll hurt less on the way."

Huang Mao was taken aback:

"What way."

At this moment, the little brothers suddenly turned red-faced, clutching their stomachs in agony, foaming at the mouth, black blood streaming from their eyes.

Huang Mao’s stomach suddenly twisted in pain, and he looked at the bottle and then at Chen Wei in disbelief:

"Brother, you..."

Chen Wei sighed:

"You all talk too much, I’m afraid you’ll bring me trouble.

I know you’re loyal and wouldn’t help me kill your little brothers.

I had to kill all of you.

Good brother, I’m planning big things, consider this as a sacrifice for me."

Huang Mao glared at Chen Wei in resentment, slowly collapsing weakly.

Chen Wei took Huang Mao’s gun, packed up the money in the room, put it in a burlap sack, and hid it under the bed.

After finishing everything, he straightened his clothes, locked the door from the inside, and walked out.

Unbeknownst to him, a black cat had been watching him by the window, greedily absorbing the misery inside the room.

...

A few days later, at the Half-Mountain Villa.

Li Yang sat on the sofa reading a newspaper.

Recently, South Sea has been unstable, with constant fights in ktv, bars, and arcades.

The upper circles of South Sea knew that it was Master Snake declaring war on Zhou Qing.

Li Yang knew the war between the two major underground forces was sparked by a little errand boy seeking revenge for his girlfriend.

That errand boy relentlessly provoked and crossed the line between the two leaders, finally causing a situation that left no room for negotiation.

Suzu ran back from outside, leapt onto the sofa, and giggled while leaning on her arms:

"I’ve been following Chen Wei for days, he’s really talented, always leaving delicious misery in his wake."

Li Yang nodded:

"Hmm, he’s surprised me, he might actually manage to kill Zhou Qing."

Suzu thought for a moment and said:

"If Kuroki Mitsusawa gets involved, the outcome might be different."

Suzu daydreamed:

"If Zhou Qing is killed, we might finally meet Nana, I wonder how touching the scene would be."

After a brief contemplation, Li Yang put down the newspaper and stood up:

"Then I’ll help him."

He looked out the window and waved.

A crow flew over and landed on his shoulder.

Li Yang’s eyes had a mysterious glint:

"Inform Du Yangming to get ready."

A game centered around Chen Wei and Zhou Qing began, with the players being Li Yang and Kuroki Mitsusawa.

Actually, Li Yang didn’t think much of Kuroki Mitsusawa as an opponent.

He was only interested in the person behind Kuroki Mitsusawa.

Only when Kuroki Mitsusawa died would the person behind him make a move and come to South Sea, Li Yang’s main battleground.

The Vampire grows stronger by feeding, and slaughter is best suited for Du Yangming.

He even hoped Du Yangming could use the Vampire’s methods to train a group of assassins and establish an assassin organization.

In the future, the Demon Club would always have people they want dead.

...

Night KTV.

In a luxurious private room, Zhou Qing grabbed his hair, his face full of anger:

"Old Snake is insane!

Is she gonna let us do business or not!"

In recent days, Master Snake had been crazily wrecking Zhou Qing’s establishments and even using the connections in the Public Security Bureau to punish such offenses in Zhou Qing’s places.

Warring between two underground forces burns through money.

Kuroki Mitsusawa asked:

"With all this commotion, isn’t the South Sea Public Security Bureau doing anything about it?"

Zhou Qing said disdainfully:

"That slut has slept with most of the South Sea elite, and she’s the mistress of the old director.

The Public Security Bureau is just waiting for us to finish fighting, then step in and clean up.

That slut is just willing to lose eight hundred to hurt me a thousand, she’s eager for a mutual destruction!

Damn it, who knows why she suddenly went crazy like this!"

Kuroki Mitsusawa slammed his cup in anger:

"Damn it! Why is there so much trouble since I arrived in South Sea!

Old Snake disrupting things like this severely affects the progress of my project!"

He hadn’t visited other countries, other cities often.

He had always met with no obstacles.

But for some reason, South Sea City seemed to be cursed for him!

It was as if a pair of invisible hands were slowly enveloping the sky above his head.

Old Snake’s actions at that time could only indicate one thing.

Old Snake, Zhu Dajun, Su Yutang, they all shared the same backer.

The puppeteer behind the scenes had started targeting him!

Kuroki Mitsusawa couldn’t understand how this puppeteer, who seemed so powerful, couldn’t find out he was a member of the God Creation Organization.

How could this person be so foolish as to brazenly stand against the God Creation Organization!

Kuroki Mitsusawa also couldn’t understand where this puppeteer got the means to thwart the ninja attempts to assassinate Zhu Dajun and Su Yutang!

Kuroki Mitsusawa suddenly remembered Miyamoto Zajiro.

He had heard Zajiro’s despairing screams and the terrifying chewing sounds.

He looked at Zhou Qing with wide eyes:

"Did the Public Security Bureau people say your son was killed by a beast?"
