Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 1865 - 1966: Conditions for Joining the Red Fiends
No one in the room paid any attention to Xiang Yu. No matter what Xiang Yu said, the inside remained silent.
"Zhuzi, open the door." Xiang Yu took a step back and said.
Tie Zhuzi nodded, then kicked the door. The door was of poor quality and flew open with a single kick.
Inside the room, a young mother was clutching her child tightly in the corner, looking terrified.
Eck hurriedly entered the room and searched around, ruling out any danger.
Xiang Yu approached the woman, trying to maintain a smile, and said, "Don’t be afraid, I won’t harm you."
The woman dared not look at Xiang Yu and just nodded.
Xiang Yu casually sat down on the sofa and had Xiao Xuan take out a wad of cash and place it there.
The woman’s eyes lit up when she saw the money. She had never seen so much money in her life.
"Do you want me to accompany you?" The woman gathered her courage and looked at Xiang Yu.
Watching the woman, Eck was drooling.
Xiang Yu shook his head helplessly and said, "I just want to ask you a few questions."
Xiang Yu wasn’t interested in black women, which was due to regional differences; he only liked Asians.
"Who are the people fighting outside? Why are they fighting?" Xiang Yu asked.
The woman’s face showed terror as she unconsciously glanced outside.
"They’re from two gangs here, the Black Sha and the Red Sha..." The woman explained the general situation to Xiang Yu.
It turned out that this place was unified by Di Sha two years ago. After Di Sha’s boss died recently, his two sons couldn’t agree and eventually split into the Black Sha and the Red Sha.
"Why don’t you work with such poverty here? Why not leave?" Xiang Yu asked in confusion.
"Brother Yu," Eck sighed and said, "there’s a strong class system here. Very few people outside are willing to hire people from the slums, and the people here are labeled lazy and filthy."
The woman nodded without saying more, her eyes fixed on the wad of cash on the table.
"The money is yours," Xiang Yu said blandly.
The woman quickly walked over, took the money, and put it in her pocket.
Eck then walked over and whispered something in the woman’s ear. She nodded and went with Eck to another room.
"Eck, that lecher." Tie Zhuzi said with a smile.
If he were interested in black women, he would have taken care of the woman already, but only with consent.
"Brother Yu, why don’t we go out and teach them a lesson?" Tie Zhuzi said, somewhat excited.
"Let’s see how it plays out first." Xiang Yu said while sitting on the sofa, "Let’s fix this door first."
Tie Zhuzi nodded and called others to fix the door. Meanwhile, cheerful sounds came from the other room.
"Eck, could you be any slower?" Tie Zhuzi said while repairing the door.
After about ten minutes, the sounds of fighting outside diminished, and both sides dispersed, leaving a dozen unattended bodies on the ground.
Standing by the window, Xiang Yu couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotion, not expecting such a dark place to exist.
Xiang Yu had been involved in the underworld both in China and abroad, but none of those places were like this, where life was so cheap.
About half an hour later, Eck emerged with a satisfied look.
"Brother Yu, what do we do next?" Eck asked.
"Did you enjoy yourself enough?" Tie Zhuzi chuckled and punched Eck playfully.
Eck just laughed, unfazed.
"Let’s stay here for a while." Xiang Yu said, glancing at the woman who had come out, "Will the money be enough for us to stay here?"
The woman’s face flushed, she quickly nodded, "It’s enough, stay as long as you like."
There were only two rooms, cramped and barely enough. Xiang Yu and the others had to make do with the sofa.
"Eck, how did it feel?" Tie Zhuzi pulled Eck aside, grinning.
"You know exactly how it feels," Eck replied.
"You guys wait here, I’ll go buy you some food." The woman glanced at Eck shyly.
"Stop." Xiao Xuan said coldly.
The woman, startled, turned to look at Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan said nothing, only stood there coldly watching her.
"It’s best if you don’t have any other thoughts." Xiang Yu said, leaning against the sofa.
The woman hesitated for a moment, nodded, then left with her child.
"Brother Yu, isn’t it a bit much to be so stern with a woman?" Tie Zhuzi said with a chuckle.
"Better to be cautious." Xiang Yu smiled and said, "If we want to survive here, we need to infiltrate either the Black Sha or the Red Sha. The key now is to understand the situation of these two forces."
"I’ll handle it." Xiao Xuan said decisively.
Having been in charge of intelligence tasks in the past, he was experienced in this area.
"I should go; I know the customs here better, so investigating would be more convenient." Eck said.
Xiang Yu and the others were discussing a strategy. About an hour later, Xiao Xuan, standing by the window, suddenly said, "Brother Yu, she really went to call someone."
Tie Zhuzi and Eck quickly came to the window. The woman holding her child was leading several people in red toward them.
"That little bitch." Eck shouted angrily.
"Looks like you didn’t satisfy her enough." Tie Zhuzi chuckled.
"How many are there?" Xiang Yu asked calmly from the sofa.
"Five in total," Xiao Xuan observed the surroundings and said.
"We planned to seek them out, and here they come." Xiang Yu said.
A few minutes later, the woman arrived holding her child, with five people in red trailing behind.
"These are those newcomers, and they even slept with me." The woman said.
The five in red were led by a man with only one ear, his mouth full of blackened teeth, whose smile was somewhat intimidating.
He came in and was momentarily stunned to see the room full of people, but then smiled and said, "You came from outside?"
"Correct." Eck immediately replied.
The one-eared man saw Eck speaking and thought he was the leader, hence he sneered, "Daring to sleep with one of our Red Sha women, you sure have some nerve."
"So what?" Eck retorted fearlessly.
"Fine, since you slept with one of ours, you must join us." The one-eared man declared.
Xiang Yu and the others: "..."
"What do you mean?" Tie Zhuzi stepped forward and asked.
"Simple, you have to join our Red Sha, and henceforth, you’ll belong to our Red Sha, working for us." The one-eared man said.
Tie Zhuzi chuckled, "If we join the Red Sha, does that mean the women here are free for us to sleep with?"
The one-eared man chuckled, "You could say that. But if you sleep with our women without joining the Red Sha, you should know the consequences."
Tie Zhuzi didn’t think much and turned to Xiang Yu, "Brother Yu, I think joining is doable."
