Chapter 69

"Damn... fuck..." As Bai Mao, Xiao Bian, and the other three brothers, armed with machetes, charged in with the spirit of facing death, the immediate consequence was that all four of them clutched their chests, feeling nauseous.

The sight of Brother Shui being sliced in half was too intense. Even though the four of them had been thugs in Meteor Street for many years, they were now pale with shock.

"Ugh, ugh... ah—" Among the four, Bai Mao, who had the weakest nerves, was the only one who actually vomited, while the others just felt nauseous.

Fortunately, Xiao Bian, who was quick on his feet, immediately flipped up Bai Mao's shirt, so Bai Mao vomited all over his own clothes.

Bai Mao's vomiting was bad enough, but the smell triggered another one of the group, who was already struggling, to vomit as well. Fortunately, Xiao Bian had set a good example, and the next one to vomit lifted his shirt to catch it, avoiding leaving any vomit on the floor.

Wang Ge withdrew his axe. Thanks to the essence of the Earth Treasure given by Ye Tianlong, his severely injured body was able to support the powerful strike of the axe.

Looking back at Bai Mao and Xiao Bian, Wang Ge couldn't help but smile. True character is revealed over time, and the fact that the four of them could go this far was a testament to their loyalty. It wasn't in vain that Curly had arranged for them to fight in the underground boxing ring.

Actually, Wang Ge's smile was quite charming. A tall, handsome man with a mischievous smile, holding a dominant and exaggerated battle axe, his face and body stained with blood, and a corpse at his feet... If the appearance enthusiasts saw him, they would surely be captivated.

But in the eyes of Bai Mao, Xiao Bian, and the others, Wang Ge's smile was like the smile of Death. Even though they knew he was on their side, they were all scared stiff.

"Where's Mosquito?" Wang Ge asked calmly. Although he had killed the doctor in a fit of passion, he was unusually calm when he killed Brother Shui.

Many things become more complicated the more you think about them before doing them, but often, once you do them, you feel less tense. Wang Ge, having killed many people, had developed a strong heart.

"He was knocked out by my knockout smoke," Bai Mao said, wiping his mouth with his sleeve.

Xiao Bian, quick to act, immediately went out and dragged Mosquito in by his legs. "Brother Wang, what do we do next?"

"Get out of the way!" Wang Ge lifted the battle axe, and Bai Mao and Xiao Bian quickly moved away.

"Bang—"

Wang Ge swung the battle axe, and with one strike, Mosquito's head was separated from his body.

Seeing Mosquito's head rolling on the ground, Bai Mao and Xiao Bian felt something rising in their throats...

They had always thought Brother Wang was too patient, even calling him "Ninja" in private. Now, looking at each other, they were all terrified. They never imagined that Brother Wang could be so terrifying when he got serious!

Wang Ge looked at Brother Shui's optical brain. All the surveillance in Black City could be accessed through it. After some thought, Wang Ge asked, "Who knows about optical brains?"

Bai Mao, Xiao Bian, and the others all looked at a square-headed fat guy, who immediately raised his hand. "Brother Wang, I know a bit."

Wang Ge knew his name. Among Curly's four brothers, Bai Mao and Xiao Bian were the smartest, while the other two were cousins. The round-headed fat guy was the older brother, nicknamed "Tire," and the square-headed fat guy was the younger brother, nicknamed "Spare."

Wang Ge only knew that the two brothers loved playing online games, but he didn't expect that Spare would be so knowledgeable.

"Do you know how to delete today's surveillance records?" Wang Ge pointed at Brother Shui's optical brain.

"Brother Wang, let me check." Spare sat in Brother Shui's seat and quickly typed on the virtual keyboard. "Brother Wang, the surveillance records are stored in Brother Shui's optical brain every day. Every hour, a specialized software automatically searches for useful or special parts and uploads them to the internal network.

"The last upload was just half an hour ago, so we only need to delete the records in Brother Shui's optical brain. However... I don't know the password, and I don't have any cracking software, so it might take more than half an hour..."

"You mean the last half hour's surveillance records are all on this optical brain's hard drive, right?" Wang Ge asked directly.

"Yes..." Spare said.

"Bang—"

Wang Ge swung his axe, and the optical brain was instantly shattered into countless pieces.

Bai Mao, Xiao Bian, Tire, and Spare all twitched their mouths. This was too simple and brutal...

"Do you have any fire?" Wang Ge's gaze swept over Bai Mao and Xiao Bian.

"We do." Bai Mao and Xiao Bian, who were smokers, quickly took out their lighters.

"Burn it! No matter what, use the shortest time to burn this place to ashes!" Wang Ge wasn't used to giving orders, but everyone was looking at him, so he had to take charge.

"Got it, Brother Wang!" Bai Mao and Xiao Bian, already intimidated by Wang Ge's ruthlessness, each took a lighter and started setting things on fire.

Brother Shui, while alive, liked to pretend to be cultured, using the office's decor to show his taste, which was beyond that of a thug.

So his office had a thick carpet on the floor, and the desk and cabinets were made of natural pine, all of which were highly flammable. Xiao Bian even found a can of aviation fuel for lighters and poured it over Brother Shui and the other two corpses.

Soon, the office was engulfed in flames. Thanks to the fire control system in Brother Shui's optical brain, the fire didn't trigger any alarms or automatic sprinklers...

"Go ahead!" Wang Ge, staring at Brother Shui's corpse, ordered, "Meet at the medical room."

"Got it, Brother Wang!"

"Be careful, Brother Wang!"

Bai Mao, Xiao Bian, Tire, and Spare quickly left. They were familiar with the layout of Black City and ran down the fire escape.

After they left, Wang Ge put away the battle axe. Although they had proven their loyalty by helping him, it was better for some things to be known by as few people as possible.

Thanks to the excellent sealing of Brother Shui's office, very little smoke escaped. Since each manager had their own office on this floor, and the Four Great Protectors' offices occupied the entire floor, with the other three not present, no one noticed the fire.

Wang Ge, seeing Brother Shui's body charred beyond recognition, quickly left the office. He thought for a moment and kicked the leather-covered wooden door into the flames, then hurriedly left through the fire escape.

When Wang Ge reached the medical room, the alarm in Black City was already blaring, and the sound of footsteps was chaotic. People were shouting about the fire and for help, and the fire in Brother Shui's office had finally been discovered.

On his way, Wang Ge checked for any bloodstains he had left behind. He was satisfied to see that they had been cleaned up, which must have been done by Bai Mao and Xiao Bian. The four brothers were indeed reliable.

As for the bloodstains from Wang Ge's resting room to the medical room, he wasn't worried. His injuries and his visit to see Curly's surgery were explainable.

Wang Ge recalled that he had only encountered Dragon's bodyguard on the way. He didn't think the underground boxing ring would question Dragon, and Dragon's bodyguard wouldn't volunteer as a witness.

At the medical room, the door was still closed. Bai Mao, Xiao Bian, Tire, and Spare stood outside, looking panicked. Clearly, the intensity of the situation had scared them after the initial excitement.

"Cigarettes!" Wang Ge held out his hand to Bai Mao, who quickly took out his cigarettes and handed them to Wang Ge. Wang Ge opened the pack and stuffed a handful into Bai Mao's mouth.

Bai Mao, still dazed, didn't react. Wang Ge whispered, "Smoke quickly, like this!"

Xiao Bian was the first to react, quickly taking out his own cigarettes, stuffing them in his mouth, and lighting them all with his lighter, smoking like a chimney.

Bai Mao then understood and quickly lit his cigarettes. Tire and Spare, true to their names, were a bit slow, but they followed their brothers' lead, stuffing cigarettes in their mouths and smoking furiously.

Wang Ge, who didn't smoke, also joined in, stuffing a row of lit cigarettes in his mouth. When the cigarettes were half-burned, he spat them on the ground without extinguishing them, then took out more and continued smoking.

Soon, the corridor was filled with smoke, and the four packs of cigarettes were quickly depleted. Wang Ge closely watched the burning cigarette butts on the ground, extinguishing them with his foot when they were almost done.

Bai Mao and Xiao Bian followed suit. After finishing the cigarettes, the five of them all coughed hard, their eyes red from the smoke. Wang Ge, with his high life level, was better off, but Bai Mao and Xiao Bian looked like heavy smokers.

"Creak—"

The door opened, and the doctor, coughing from the smoke, glared at them. "Smoking so much, do you want to die?"

"Doctor, we were worried about our brother!" Wang Ge smiled and grabbed his arm. "How is my brother?"

"He..." The doctor looked troubled, hesitating to speak.
