Chapter 28

Before entering Brother Water's office, the curly-haired boy and Wang Ge, who had been childhood friends, had already communicated through eye contact and gestures.

The curly-haired boy secretly gave Wang Ge a thumbs up, praising him for the timely kick. In fact, Wang Ge had taken the risk of being accidentally injured by the curly-haired boy, not only to avoid a lose-lose situation between the curly-haired boy and Er Hui but also out of concern for the punishment from the boxing ring. Boxers were strictly prohibited from fighting among themselves, and violators would be severely punished. Since Wang Ge was attacked by Er Hui first, he had the moral high ground, but he didn't want the curly-haired boy to be punished as well.

Wang Ge blinked, and the curly-haired boy understood. Once inside, he would keep quiet and follow Wang Ge's lead. The two had grown up together, causing trouble, and Wang Ge always handled the aftermath, always achieving a relatively good outcome.

Wang Ge and the curly-haired boy were fine, but Er Hui had suffered greatly. Not only was his internal organs injured, but his jawbone was also shattered by Wang Ge's kick. He hunched over, supporting his chin with both hands, blood streaming from his mouth, and his single eye glared viciously at Wang Ge and the curly-haired boy, like an injured wolf.

The three entered the office and saw that Brother Water was not sitting in his boss chair. Instead, he had taken off his suit jacket, revealing a white shirt and suspenders, and was holding a golf club, practicing his swing with his buttocks sticking out.

Brother Water's office was equipped with a complete "office mini golf system," a favorite indoor game among urban white-collar workers. One wall was virtually transformed into a realistic outdoor golf course, with a touch-sensitive screen installed. When the golf ball was hit, it would simulate the real experience of playing golf, and the system would measure the ball's speed, angle, spin direction, and spin rate, then simulate the ball's flight distance, trajectory, and landing point on the touch-sensitive screen, providing an experience identical to playing on a real golf course.

Seeing Wang Ge and the others enter, Brother Water acted as if nothing was wrong, correcting his swing while casually saying, "Er Hui, come over and hold the ball for me."

Er Hui's eyes flashed with fear. His jawbone was shattered, and he spoke indistinctly, spitting blood: "Brother Water, I..."

Brother Water suddenly turned around, his eyes filled with brutality and ferocity, scaring Er Hui into shivering. He finally dragged his feet over.

Wang Ge didn't know what was going on but guessed that Brother Water was going to punish Er Hui. He glanced at the curly-haired boy, who looked anxious and confused, clearly having never experienced such a situation.

Er Hui walked to the golf ball, looked at Brother Water pleadingly, and, seeing that Brother Water had no intention of changing his mind, lay down and placed the golf ball on his mouth. Despite his shattered jawbone, he had to use his lips to hold the ball.

As Brother Water stood beside him, swinging the club lightly as he had done before, Wang Ge's palms were sweating. He now understood what Brother Water was going to do. If the metal golf club hit someone's head, it would surely crush it!

What did the life of a boxer mean to Brother Water, the manager?

Brother Water seemed to be deliberately torturing their willpower, swinging the golf club slowly and repeatedly. When the club was raised to its highest point, Er Hui's nerves were stretched to the limit, and his eyes closed involuntarily.

But after a while, the club didn't fall. Er Hui relaxed and opened his eyes, only to be suddenly hit by a gust of wind!

"Bang!"

As expected, Er Hui's head burst like a rotten watermelon, white and red liquid splattering. Even the curly-haired boy and Wang Ge, who had taken many lives, felt their hearts constrict.

Brother Water walked to the curly-haired boy as if nothing had happened, casually tossing the golf club to him. The curly-haired boy instinctively reached out to catch it, but Brother Water suddenly kicked his knee with lightning speed.

Despite his overweight body, Brother Water moved like a fierce tiger!

With a "crack," the curly-haired boy's leg was broken! His thigh and calf formed an unnatural angle, and he groaned in pain, not falling forward but leaning toward Wang Ge.

Wang Ge, shocked and angry, instinctively wanted to attack, but with the curly-haired boy leaning on him, he had to catch him with both hands.

The curly-haired boy, enduring the intense pain, grabbed Wang Ge's arms and squeezed hard. Wang Ge instantly understood his meaning.

It was a sign to endure!

Wang Ge almost ground his teeth to pieces, his chest burning with rage. How could he endure seeing his brother's leg broken?

But the curly-haired boy held him tightly, preventing him from moving.

The curly-haired boy, who was much taller than Wang Ge, fell sideways, using his body to shield Wang Ge and giving him a meaningful look.

Seeing that he couldn't control Wang Ge, his eyes even showed a plea.

In the curly-haired boy's pleading gaze, Wang Ge finally suppressed his anger, not eliminating it but deeply burying it in his heart.

He knew what the curly-haired boy meant. This was Black City!

It was an underground boxing ring!

Everyone here, from top to bottom, was Brother Water's people. If they dared to fight back, they would surely die!

Even if they could kill Brother Water together, they would never leave Black City!

Even if they left Black City, what about their families?

Wang Ge felt the taste of blood in his mouth, his teeth biting through his lips.

Wang Ge stopped struggling, striving to maintain his calm, and supported the curly-haired boy, who had a broken leg, on his shoulder.

Brother Water didn't care whether they would fight back or dare to fight back.

After breaking the curly-haired boy's leg, he casually walked to his boss chair, sat down, and picked up a large cigar from the ashtray.

Leaning back comfortably, he placed his feet on the desk and pointed at Er Hui's corpse with the cigar: "Do you know why he died?"

"I know," Wang Ge took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said, "Er Hui probably wanted to avenge Leopard, so he attacked me in the corridor..."

"No nonsense!" Brother Water rudely interrupted Wang Ge, sneering, "I said it before, my boxers must not fight among themselves outside the ring!

"Whoever breaks my rules will die!"

Wang Ge closed his mouth. He didn't particularly hate Er Hui. From Er Hui's previous emotions, it was clear that Leopard was very close to him, perhaps even a family member.

He had killed Leopard on the ring, but it was understandable for Er Hui to seek revenge.

But Brother Water had killed Er Hui without hesitation and broken the curly-haired boy's leg, making both of them too afraid to resist. What did this indicate?

First, Brother Water didn't value the lives of boxers, treating them like tools, like screwdrivers or pens.

If they were broken or no longer needed, they could be discarded or destroyed.

Second, Brother Water must have something that made Er Hui and the curly-haired boy too afraid to resist.

The curly-haired boy's broken leg was manageable, given the advanced technology. He could be saved and restored to his original state with surgery and gene therapy, with no aftereffects.

But Er Hui was dead!

He could die but not resist!

That thing must be very precious to Er Hui, more precious than his own life...

What did Wang Ge have that was more precious than his own life? The first thing that came to mind was Wang Fei, his sister, whom he was willing to protect with his life.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, this was clearly the right answer. From Er Hui's willingness to avenge Leopard by openly breaking Brother Water's rules, it was evident that Er Hui was a person who valued family ties. This explained everything.

In the underworld, there was a common unspoken rule: no harm to family members.

But for Brother Water, there were no rules!

He was the one who made the rules!

Wang Ge didn't speak, just lowered his head even more.

He was a calm and steady person. Despite the raging desire for revenge in his heart, he showed a submissive attitude.

Wang Ge was no match for Brother Water, who displayed at least a ninth-level life force, possibly even a tenth-level.

Even if they both risked their lives to kill Brother Water, they would never leave Black City and couldn't protect his sister Wang Fei or the curly-haired boy's family.

So he showed submission, despite his anger and hatred toward Brother Water. He could only endure for now.

He would wait until he had enough strength to take down this bastard!

"He broke my rules first, so he died. You were lucky, but there won't be a next time." Brother Water said casually, leaning back and closing his eyes, waving his hand dismissively, "Get out!"

Wang Ge gritted his teeth and carried the curly-haired boy, who had a broken leg, out of Brother Water's office.

On the way to the medical room, he carried the curly-haired boy on his back to avoid causing further injury to his broken leg.

The whole way, Wang Ge clenched his teeth and remained silent, his silence terrifying.

The curly-haired boy, in pain, sucked in his breath and smiled at Wang Ge, "It seems the tables have turned. Last time, I carried you to the medical room, and this time, it's your turn to carry me."

Wang Ge didn't respond until they reached the medical room. He stopped and said in a deep voice, "Wait and see."

It sounded like he was talking to himself, but the curly-haired boy, being his childhood friend, instantly understood what he meant.

When they were young, if they got into trouble, Wang Ge would say these three words. No matter who the opponent was, Wang Ge would always find a way to take revenge.

But Wang Ge wasn't foolish. He would always find the right method or the right opportunity to take revenge without any consequences.

So the curly-haired boy knew that if Wang Ge said it, he would do it. And he trusted Wang Ge, knowing he would have a plan.

The curly-haired boy never thought he could take revenge on Brother Water, as he and Wang Ge were like ants to Brother Water.

But Wang Ge's words warmed his heart. His current strength far exceeded Wang Ge's, but at that moment, it felt like they were back to their childhood.

Back then, he followed Wang Ge, doing whatever Wang Ge pointed to, and he never had to worry about the consequences, as the more mature Wang Ge would always clean up the mess.

The curly-haired boy's hand, resting on Wang Ge's shoulder, squeezed hard.

They were brothers, and everything was understood without words.

[Big Wang will definitely take down Brother Water. Before that, let's all vote to kill Brother Water!]
