You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 374 - 196: Killing Dogs to Warn Their Masters
Chenli Country, Mengding City.
Under the cover of night, Ye Qingzhou manipulated the combat puppet and entered this economically backward small city.
Compared to the Dongji Kingdom, even an inland city like Linjiang City, which is not economically developed, far surpasses this rundown place in terms of economy and culture.
If Mengding’s local economic development level were placed in the Dongji Kingdom, it would at most resemble a backward 17th or 18th tier small county town, with many buildings stuck in the last century, lacking any skyscrapers.
There were very few vehicles on the streets, and the spirits of the pedestrians were very downtrodden. The entire city seemed devoid of any vitality or energy.
This place, in ancient times, was once part of the Dongji Kingdom’s ruled territories for a period.
Unfortunately, now it has once again become a barbarian land outside civilization, about 0.6 times the size of Tongliao City, with a population of only over 600,000.
However, despite the small number of people, troubles are plenty here.
In this tiny spot, there are more than twenty armed factions, each hostile and antagonistic to one another, a classic case of a shallow pond with too many big fish competing for dominance.
Through the spiritual ability of the Yin Spirit, Ye Qingzhou looked up to see the entire city enveloped in the power of thought ability, filled with hatred, malice, violence, chaos, and other negative emotions, perfectly matching the description of the "Five Turbid Evil World" in the Brahma Pure Sect’s texts.
"The human world, sullied again."
With a soft sigh, Ye Qingzhou continued walking the streets of Mengding City, aiming for the Paradise Hotel under the Henry Group.
The place was easy to find. After all, in a dilapidated city, a gleaming, lavishly lit hotel stands out way too conspicuously.
And Paradise Hotel was one of the Wei Family’s black market businesses among the four major families in Mengding City, ostensibly operating as a hotel and casino, but in reality, their main product was people.
Living, breathing people.
There is no business in this world more wicked than human trafficking.
Especially such as the four major families, exploiting their Eastern Country bloodline identity to deceive and harm their fellow compatriots at home. In actuality, they secretly pledged allegiance to the Source Blood Association, acting as accomplices.
The profits squeezed out through illegal means were also funneled away by the international money laundering group controlled by the Source Blood Association.
Strictly speaking, the four major families are nothing more than a few dogs kept by the Source Blood Association.
This is why Ye Qingzhou came here today. If he couldn’t find the principal culprit, then he would first kill a few of the Source Blood Association’s dogs to see if their master would reveal themselves.
Just as Ye Qingzhou was about to step forward, he suddenly sensed a crisis, followed by the sound of gunfire, with bullets shooting towards him.
Ding~ Ding~ Ding~
The combat puppet stood still, letting the bullets hit its body, since this level of attack was hardly a scratch for Ye Qingzhou.
He was slightly surprised: "Did they discover me beforehand?"
Then he realized something was off — it was not that the enemies were highly alert, but that they were fighting among themselves... 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
At this moment, the people from the Henry Group were engaged in a street armed conflict with another faction, each side gathering over a hundred people, openly shooting at each other on the street.
For a moment, bullets flew wildly on the street, people screamed, and the situation descended into utter chaos.
Shops on either side of the street were caught in the crossfire, with walls riddled with holes and glass shattered all over the ground.
Seeing such a scene, Ye Qingzhou was speechless: "Goodness, I haven’t even made a move, and you’re already fighting each other?"
The two factions involved were, on one side, Wei Rong’s people from the Henry Group, whose father, Wei Chaoren, was an old subordinate of "King Chenli" Peng Jiasheng, and who founded the Wei Family, one of the four major families in Mengding City, wielding armed power — almost lawless in the locale.
The opponents of the Wei Family were another of the four major families in Mengding City, the Bai Family.
To seize the benefits of the gambling industry, both sides were willing to resort to arms, leading to a fierce street battle, where more than a dozen people quickly died in the conflict, causing damage to other civilian facilities.
The battle lasted for over an hour, but the local police remained completely indifferent, with the police station’s doors tightly shut, adopting a blatant blind-eye approach.
Ye Qingzhou increasingly felt there was no hope for this country, and similar occurrences would be unimaginable in the Dongji Kingdom.
At this moment, inside the Paradise Hotel.
A short, chubby woman who seemed harmless was furiously speaking into the phone: "Bai Yingcang, have you gone mad?"
"Wei Rong, Old Street doesn’t belong to your Wei Family alone, you can’t hog all the profits. Be careful not to choke!"
On the other end of the line was Bai Yingcang, who sent people to attack the Hunter Hotel today. His father, Bai Suocheng, was one of the four major families in Chenli Country.
The two families, for the sake of "business" affairs, did not hesitate to draw weapons and fight in the capital’s streets, showing just how reckless they were.
"Bai Yingcang, I’m warning you, there’s a distinguished guest staying at our Paradise Hotel, you’d better calm down for now. If you offend him, you won’t even have a grave to be buried in!"
"Heh, trying to scare me, huh?"
"I’ve laid my cards on the table; believe it or not, it’s up to you!"
Wei Rong furiously hung up the phone, pressed her brows, and then instructed: "Get Li Saigao for me."
"Yes."
Soon after, a man with a simple and honest appearance, but with slightly exaggerated expressions, walked into Wei Rong, the female CEO’s, office.
