Chapter 1262 - 559: Dummy_2

The fake Gang Leader of the Forest Snake Gang waved his fist, but Fang Yu just smiled and spoke to the fake Gang Leader’s back as he was about to leave.

"One more thing. Does your gang run any slave-related business, or do you know a person called Hui Yao?"

The fake Gang Leader of the Forest Snake Gang looked blank and shook his head slightly.

"The Forest Snake Gang mainly deals in the trade of medicinal materials. We dabble a bit in other related businesses, but slave trading has nothing to do with our Forest Snake Gang. As for this Hui Yao fellow, I’ve never heard of him. But that old geezer might know something."

Fang Yu stroked his chin.

"Then use the Forest Snake Gang’s resources to help me sniff out some information on this. I’ll head back tonight, and tomorrow I’ll come to the Forest Snake Gang again, stay here for a while, and help you solve your problem."

"Many thanks, my lord! I have no way to repay your grace. Whatever you want, just say the word. As long as the Forest Snake Gang has it, I’ll offer it all up!"

Look at that! Look at that awareness!

In a good mood, Fang Yu waved him off, then strolled through the vast courtyard of the Forest Snake Gang like he was inspecting his own territory.

Not bad, not bad. From now on, this gang basically counts as being under my name.

Ding Hui still looks down on me!

Aren’t I handling this pretty damn well!

Fang Yu hummed twice to himself in satisfaction.

All those so-called gang ultimate techniques, all those gang supply storehouses—Fang Yu planned to visit them all and loot them in one sweep.

But that would have to be tomorrow.

As for the gang’s Martial Arts and such, Fang Yu could understand those.

But when it came to what good stuff might be in the gang’s storerooms, Fang Yu might miss things. He had to bring Ding Hui over, leave no detail unchecked, and take every good thing without missing a single piece.

Before the fake Gang Leader is exposed, he is the real Gang Leader. With his full support, the entire Forest Snake Gang could be said to be in Fang Yu’s pocket. Whatever he wanted, he could take, and whatever he wanted done, he could order the Forest Snake Gang people to do.

Thinking about it that way, Fang Yu felt that the move he made tonight was actually pretty damn good.

The only labor he needed to put in was to help the fake Gang Leader get rid of the real Gang Leader behind the scenes.

"Who goes there!"

Just then, Fang Yu was spotted by the guards.

But with just a single leap, Fang Yu’s figure vanished from everyone’s sight at an extremely fast speed.

"Tomorrow I’ll bring Ding Hui over and let her pick whatever she likes, look at whatever she likes, take whatever she likes! Let her have some fun too!"

Thinking as he walked, Fang Yu headed back toward the inn.

Right now that fake Gang Leader hadn’t yet fully smoothed things over. Tomorrow, when Fang Yu officially showed up, everyone in the Forest Snake Gang would have to obey his every word.

...

Fang Yu didn’t know that after he left, the fake Gang Leader of the Forest Snake Gang went to a room—a room where a woman lived.

"Madam..."

The fake Gang Leader gently pushed the door and spoke in a low voice.

He hadn’t expected that in the deep of the night, the woman in the room would actually still be awake—or rather, she hadn’t had a good night’s sleep for many days and nights already.

All because, starting a few years ago, the space beside her on the bed had been completely empty.

Guarding an empty room alone all this time—how could she possibly sleep soundly?

Tonight was no exception.

She just hadn’t expected that the person she pined for day and night, the one who had suddenly become so cold and indifferent, would inexplicably come to her door—and at such a late hour at that.

The Gang Leader’s wife spoke, her tone tinged with resentment.

"It’s so late. What are you looking for me for?"

What the Gang Leader’s wife hadn’t expected was that this time, the man she’d been thinking of day and night actually pushed the door open and came in!

...

The next day.

"Gang Leader!"

"Gang Leader!"

"Lord Gang Leader!"

As usual, the members of the Forest Snake Gang saluted the Gang Leader, then suddenly all widened their eyes.

Because they saw the Gang Leader actually had his arm around the Gang Leader’s wife as the two of them appeared together at the gang’s daily morning assembly.

This was a scene they hadn’t seen in many years.

Because the Gang Leader hadn’t shared a room with his wife for a long time, and no one knew why.

Some rumors said the Gang Leader had been whoring around outside and caught some venereal disease, and the Madam flew into a rage and refused to let him into her room.

Other rumors said the Madam was infertile, the Gang Leader flew into a rage, and their relationship cooled from then on.

Anyway, the Gang Leader and his wife hadn’t been intimate for a long time. For them to suddenly pull something like this today, clinging all sticky and close to each other, honestly left everyone a bit stunned.

"My wife and I have cleared up our misunderstandings. From now on, when you see Madam, it’s the same as seeing me. Understood!"

The Gang Leader sent down his message. Everyone looked at each other, then bowed their heads and answered in unison.

"Yes!"

When the Gang Leader’s wife felt her husband’s boundless love and shyly buried her face in his chest, her husband spoke up again.

"Oh right, we’re expecting an honored guest today. You few, go wait at the front gate. Don’t you dare slight him. Once he arrives, notify me immediately! No delays!"

"Yes!"

After roughly learning the honored guest’s appearance and features, the subordinates took the order and left.

But Fang Yu did not arrive on time.

Because last night, he ran into something.

...

Last night.

When Fang Yu brought good news and a good mood back to the inn...

He saw people.

People from the Foolish Underworld!

His eyes instantly turned dangerous.

Almost in the same instant, Fang Yu shot in through the window and rushed into the room!

Before the Foolish Underworld members waiting at the door and nearby could even react, Fang Yu landed with a heavy thud and appeared inside the room.

Nothing.

His gaze swept rapidly around the room, but he didn’t see Ding Hui’s shadow!

Foolish Underworld, Ding Hui, inn...

A chill, an indescribable extreme emotion, surged madly up into his head.

Regret flashed through his heart, then despair, then pain, but the strongest, the most intense, was anger.

Extreme anger, bringing extreme madness!

In a split second, what flashed through his mind was killing.

Crazy slaughter, bringing endless Evil Qi!

Evil Qi that soared into the sky, enough to draw a Great Demon that could destroy Thunder City!

If Ding Hui really had met with misfortune...

He would make everyone in Thunder City be buried with her!!

"M-My lord!"

Just as these crazed thoughts spun through Fang Yu’s mind, a tense voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

Swish!

Fang Yu’s gaze, cold to the extreme, had already swept over.

That single look made this Foolish Underworld squad member feel as if an invisible icy blade had pierced straight through his neck; he stared in shock, eyes wide, mind going blank on the spot.

"Where is Ding Hui!"

Only when that hoarse voice rang out did the squad member suddenly snap back to his senses.

He was terrified.

He had never seen such a terrifying Martial Artist!

Just one look made him feel like he had already died once!

He instinctively reached for his neck; at some point he’d already collapsed to the floor, his whole body trembling.

"M-My lord, please don’t kill me! Lord Ding Hui—Lord Ding Hui was invited by our Captain to go get treated, it was Lord Ding Hui who willingly left with the Captain, she even left a letter for you, my lord! It’s right there on the bed!"

A letter?

Fang Yu swept his gaze toward the bed, stepped over, lifted the quilt, and sure enough, found a letter under it.

Fang Yu frowned, but that surging emotion in the depths of his heart eased a little.

He opened the letter.

"Diao Deyi, do you still remember the last time you lost control during demonization?"

"Back then I could only watch with my eyes wide open. I was agitated, but powerless."

"You, fully demonized, were a stranger to me, no different from those out-of-control Demon Martial Artists."

"Like a beast, powerful and wild."

"At the time I didn’t realize I was about to lose you. Only when I recalled that day over and over, day and night, feeling a deep lingering fear, did I finally understand what I had almost lost."

"I’m really glad that on that day, over on Blue Star, there was someone like her who could pull you back onto the right track, even if she paid with her Life for it... What I mean is, if I could, how much I wish that on that day, I had been the one to pull you back!"

"And now, this path seems to have a new direction."

"That patient provided by Song Zhenrong of the Foolish Underworld, his condition is just like the physical reaction after a Demon Martial Artist loses control. This is very interesting. I plan to go see with my own eyes how that person’s body is changing and study it in depth."

"If things go well, maybe... next time, when you lose control, it’ll be me who saves you!"

Fang Yu read the letter twice over.

Then he tucked the letter into his chest.

"Idiot."
