Chapter 17: Eradicating the Fierce Tiger Gang

"Wei Fan?"

"A ghost..."

"How could there be a ghost in broad daylight? Chief Wei is fine."

"Chief Wei truly returned, how could the Tiger Demon have let him go? Is the Tiger Demon eating vegetables now?"

...

Wei Fan’s return truly shocked everyone.

"Wei Fan, did you really convince the Tiger Demon?"

Hu Qing ran over excitedly, her face full of admiration.

Wei Fan nodded: "The Tiger Demon was very reasonable; after I discussed the sins they’ve committed over the years, they all suddenly came to their senses.

Not only did they not harm me, they have all decided to atone for their sins with death, and I couldn’t stop them.

Also, Captain Wang, I never expected he was in league with the Tiger Demon. He also came to his senses and committed suicide."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They didn’t believe the talk of atonement through death; what they believed was that the Tiger Demons were dead.

They didn’t doubt Wei Fan’s words; if the Tiger Demons weren’t dead, Wei Fan couldn’t have returned. As for how the Tiger Demons died, only Wei Fan knew.

"He really returned, is the person backing him that terrifying, having killed all the Tiger Demons!"

Luo Wen, who received the news and hurried over, was shocked as he watched Wei Fan speak eloquently. To this day, he still felt there was a master behind Wei Fan.

"Where are you going?"

A governmental officer was about to walk out but was halted by Wei Fan.

The person’s face changed: "I... I’m going to patrol!"

Wei Fan sneered: "You want to notify the Fierce Tiger Gang, right? From now on, anyone who steps out this door, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

The person dared not respond and didn’t continue to leave.

"Once the Fierce Tiger Gang is eliminated, I’ll come to deal with you parasites."

Wei Fan said solemnly: "Now that all the Tiger Demons are dead, who among you is willing to join me in uprooting the Fierce Tiger Gang?"

He rushed back to eliminate the Fierce Tiger Gang.

"I’m willing!"

As soon as he said this, Hu Qing was the first to raise her knife.

"Count me in!"

Zhou Qi was the second to speak; he had a good relationship with Wei Fan, and now was the time to support Wei Fan.

Moreover, with the Tiger Demons gone, the Fierce Tiger Gang no longer had anything to fear.

"Willing to follow Chief Wei and eliminate the Fierce Tiger Gang!"

"I’m willing too!"

...

After Zhou Qi, more and more people began to shout.

The Fierce Tiger Gang had acted recklessly in the past, relying on their backing from the Tiger Demons. Many officers had clashes with them while performing their duties.

Now that the Tiger Demons were gone, except for those colluding with the Fierce Tiger Gang, everyone wanted to hit the fallen dogs, and quite a few arrest officers present stepped up.

"To eliminate the Fierce Tiger Gang, does the Squad Leader have any objection?"

Wei Fan looked at Luo Wen.

Luo Wen was shocked internally.

He knew Wei Fan wasn’t soliciting his opinion, and immediately took a deep breath and said: "Then let’s uproot this tumor; everyone, take your gear, listen to Wei Fan’s command, and immediately arrest all Fierce Tiger Gang members."

After a while, all preparations were complete, and the personnel assembled, a group of governmental officers grandly proceeded to the Fierce Tiger Gang’s headquarters.

Fierce Tiger Gang!

Few people in Yun City knew that last night, the gang leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang had already been eaten by the Tiger King, and vice gang leader Zhang Huaiyu was preparing to take over the position.

"When I become the gang leader, what should I prepare as a gift for the Tiger King? A beauty of superior appearance or strong and robust blood food."

Zhang Huaiyu pondered; he had to please the Tiger King as gang leader, couldn’t have any day ending up eaten by the Tiger King like his predecessor.

"Gang leader, something’s bad..."

Zhang Huaiyu saw his trusted subordinate running over in panic and immediately said in a deep voice: "Don’t shout like that; how can you assist me in managing gang affairs in the future.

Didn’t you go to Five Miles Village? Why are you so frantic?"

Zhang Huaiyu showed a gloomy expression, very dissatisfied with the subordinate’s behavior. With such a mindset, important matters couldn’t be entrusted to him in the future.

The subordinate’s face was filled with terror: "I just returned from Five Miles Village. While in Five Miles Village, I saw a pile of Master Hu’s corpses; they were all killed, scattered everywhere."

"What did you say? Saw a battlefield of Master Hu’s corpses?"

Zhang Huaiyu took a step forward, instantly lifting the subordinate into the air with an unpleasant look.

The subordinate struggled anxiously mid-air: "Gang leader, put me down quickly, we must flee together, otherwise it will be too late! So many Masters Hu were killed, the Tiger King will surely devour us alive."

"You’re right, gotta run quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"

Remembering the gang leader who was devoured by the Tiger King last night, Zhang Huaiyu reacted as if electrocuted, swiftly putting down the subordinate and starting to gather valuables.

"Not good, let’s go!"

As soon as he started gathering, shouts of killing were heard from outside. Zhang Huaiyu beckoned the subordinate to flee, thinking the Tiger King had come.

Running out, he saw that in the courtyard, the gang members of the Fierce Tiger Gang were dead or surrendered, and a group of constables were arresting people everywhere.

Not the Tiger King?

Zhang Huaiyu was taken aback and roared: "What are you doing, daring to arrest people at the Fierce Tiger Gang?"

He feared the Tiger King, but not any constable. Even in his presence, the government’s Squad Leader didn’t dare to act rashly.

He only knew the Tiger Demons who went to Five Miles Village were dead but didn’t realize the government dared to come arrest people, and maybe the Tiger King had an issue too.

"Arrest these two as well; if there’s any resistance, kill without mercy!"

Zhang Huaiyu’s roar immediately attracted the attention of many constables; several of them immediately started walking toward him to cuff him.

Zhang Huaiyu shouted: "I am Zhang Huaiyu, the gang leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang, and friends with your Wei Clerk. Do you dare to arrest me?"

As soon as he said this, several constables became cautious.

Many gang members of the Fierce Tiger Gang, to avoid being eaten by Tiger Demons, hadn’t practiced martial arts, but someone at the gang leader level had no weak skills, and Zhang Huaiyu also mentioned the Clerk.

These constables, being seasoned veterans, clearly understood that someone at Zhang Huaiyu’s level wouldn’t only be colluding with Tiger Demons; there had to be connections in the high levels of Yun City too.

"Gang leader of Fierce Tiger Gang? You’re the one to be arrested! The government has now confirmed Fierce Tiger Gang’s collusion with Demon Fiends, harming citizens, even being friends with the City Lord is useless, surrender obediently!"

A stern shout, Zhang Huaiyu looked up to see a young man in arrest officer uniform approaching without being intimidated by him.

"Resist or surrender?"

For a moment, Zhang Huaiyu was internally conflicted.

Getting caught by the government, he was confident he’d be fine, but this would delay his escape.

"Be careful, gang leader, he’s Wei Fan!" The voice of the subordinate suddenly rang out.

Zhang Huaiyu was startled, is this guy still alive?

Luo Wen’s voice sounded: "Zhang Huaiyu, the Tiger King is dead. You’d better surrender peacefully!"

The Tiger King is dead?

Zhang Huaiyu was stunned; no wonder the government dared to storm the Fierce Tiger Gang’s headquarters; their backing was gone.

"Go ahead, arrest me!"

Zhang Huaiyu extended his hands, assuming the stance to be cuffed by Wei Fan.

With the Tiger King dead, he had no need to escape, nor resist. With his network, he’d be released in a few days; even without the Tiger King’s backing, he would still be a big shot.

"You dare to resist?"

But with his hands extended, instead of handcuffs, he was met with Wei Fan’s shout and a flash of cold blade.

"I didn’t resist..."

Just as this thought arose, Zhang Huaiyu felt his head fly up.

[Execution of Zhang Huaiyu, gained 15 years of Power]

"You..."

Zhang Huaiyu’s subordinate pointed at Wei Fan with trembling fingers.

"You dare to resist too!"

His hand lifted only to be greeted by another flash of blade.

"Resisters will be killed without mercy!"

After killing these two, Wei Fan bent down to pick up the pouches from their bodies and continued onward.

"Resisters will be killed without mercy!"

Others began to imitate Wei Fan, and for a time, it was not primarily about arresting people; bloodshed erupted everywhere.

Luo Wen silently watched this scene with an unpleasant expression.

Ultimately, out of sixty gang members at the Fierce Tiger Gang’s headquarters, the government arrested only a dozen; the rest were killed while "resisting."
