Chapter 99

That night, the news that the daughter of Bai Li Xiong, the godfather of Zhonghai City's underworld, had been kidnapped swept through the entire underground world of Zhonghai, shocking countless people!

"Who is so bold as to dare to kidnap Bai Li Xiong's daughter?!"

"Is this guy tired of living? How dare he target Bai Li Xiong? Could it be some outsiders trying to make a quick buck?"

"I've received word that Bai Li Xiong's daughter has been successfully rescued, and the five kidnappers were caught on the spot by the police! It seems those five kidnappers are the Five Ghosts of the Green Dragon Gang!"

"So it was the Green Dragon Gang? Are they planning to start a war with the Hundred Battles Hall?"

"I've heard that the Green Dragon Gang has been getting close to the other four major gangs recently. It looks like they are planning to join forces to oppose Bai Li Xiong's anti-drug order!"

"That makes sense. The power of these five major gangs is all in the East District. Now that Bai Li Xiong has issued an anti-drug order in the East District, it's like he's trying to take away their livelihood. Without the income from drugs, how can those bosses afford to pay their subordinates to fight for them? It's better to fight than to sit and wait to die!"

"Now we'll see how Bai Li Xiong will retaliate! But even if the Five Ghosts of the Green Dragon Gang were caught, he has no evidence to say it was definitely the Green Dragon Gang, right? I don't think the Hundred Battles Hall can easily find trouble with them."

"Naive! Evidence is nothing! Do you think Bai Li Xiong needs evidence? In this circle, whoever has the strongest fist is the evidence! Since the Five Ghosts are from the Green Dragon Gang, no matter what the truth is, the Green Dragon Gang will have to take the blame!"

For a moment, the big shots of dozens of underground forces in Zhonghai City and even the surrounding provinces all focused their attention on Bai Li Xiong and the Hundred Battles Hall. They were all waiting to see how Bai Li Xiong would retaliate!

But that night was destined to disappoint them.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Bai Li Xiong returned to the building owned by his Hundred Battles Group with his subordinates very calmly. He stayed there all night, and only left the building the next morning to visit his daughter's neighborhood, showing no signs of retaliation at all!

"Is that it?!" Everyone was stunned!

Someone even said disdainfully, "I've heard so much about how great Bai Li Xiong is, but he's not that impressive, is he? He can even tolerate his daughter being kidnapped? What a coward!"

A few neighboring gang bosses looked regretful and angrily said, "Damn! I thought we'd see a good show! Maybe even get some benefits by taking advantage of the chaos. Bai Li Xiong is really useless!"

"It seems Bai Li Xiong is getting old! Back in the day, this guy defeated all the black market experts with just one person, and his demeanor was so domineering! Now that someone has put him in a tight spot, he doesn't even react! It's really disappointing!"

Just as many people were disappointed by Bai Li Xiong's performance, and some were even starting to stir up trouble, thinking the Hundred Battles Hall was no longer what it used to be, a sudden piece of news swept through the entire southeastern coastal underworld!

At 1:00 AM, Wang Dadao, the boss of the Big Knife Gang, died on his mistress's stomach, cause of death: exhaustion!

At 2:00 AM, Zhao Jifeng, the boss of the Viper Gang, died in his bed at home, cause of death: heart attack!

At 3:00 AM, Zhang Yaoyang, the boss of the Biker Gang, died on North Street in Zhonghai City, cause of death: car accident!

At 4:00 AM, Ji Rongguang, the boss of the Scorpion Gang, died in a private room of his own nightclub, cause of death: drug overdose!

At 5:00 AM, Yu Zhenhai, the boss of the Green Dragon Gang, died in his own bathroom, cause of death: falling and hitting his head on a metal protrusion on the wall, resulting in instant death!

When these pieces of news reached the hands of the big shots, they all gasped in shock, as if they had been doused with a bucket of ice water on a hot afternoon, freezing them instantly!

As for those who thought the Hundred Battles Hall had lost its edge and wanted to cause some trouble, they shivered with a bone-chilling fear that shot up from their feet to their heads, making them tremble!

As big shots themselves, they naturally didn't believe that the bosses of these five major gangs had really died by accident!

These five major gangs were the ones rumored to have joined forces to oppose the Hundred Battles Hall! Combined with the earlier kidnapping of Bai Li Xiong's daughter by the Five Ghosts of the Green Dragon Gang, everyone knew this was Bai Li Xiong's retaliation!

One death per hour! This was Bai Li Xiong's stark warning to the entire underworld!

"Too fast! Too ruthless! Too terrifying!" This was the only thought that flashed through the minds of all the big shots!

Many people had speculated on how Bai Li Xiong would retaliate, imagining he might send people to smash the properties of the major gangs, or use official power to retaliate, or even directly lead his subordinates to declare war openly!

But no one expected that Bai Li Xiong, who seemed calm on the surface, would actually use such a ruthless move to capture the leaders of the five major gangs!

What was even more terrifying was that Bai Li Xiong and the Hundred Battles Hall never made any statements about the matter. To them, it was as simple as having a meal or drinking a cup of tea, not worth mentioning!

Bai Li Xiong! Hundred Battles Hall!

For a moment, the entire southeastern underworld was on high alert, with the eyes of all the big shots fixed on these two names!

Terrifying! Truly terrifying!

The emerging forces that had risen in recent years finally realized just how terrifying this godfather of Zhonghai's underworld, who had dominated for decades and built a formidable reputation, really was!

Five murders in one night, and the victims' identities were so sensitive that the Zhonghai police immediately became tense, quickly forming a special task force to investigate. However, after a thorough investigation, including evidence collection and scientific testing, they concluded that the deaths were all accidents!

The police were also helpless with this result, as they knew the deaths were certainly related to Bai Li Xiong, but without evidence, they had no way to take action against him. After all, they were law enforcement officers, defenders and protectors of the law, and they couldn't act like the underworld and ignore the law!

Of course, that's another story, let's put it aside for now.

Speaking of which, when Li Feng saw dozens of police cars arrive at the scene, he knew his mission was complete. However, he still waited until Shen Jingyi appeared in the abandoned factory and saw her hug Bai Li Muyue before he finally left with complete peace of mind.

On the way back, Li Feng rode very slowly, not because he didn't want to go fast, but because the dozens of spokes on the front tire had all rebelled!

"Cheater! He told me these spokes were for professional racing bikes and could handle speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour! What a lie!"

Li Feng cursed as he pedaled slowly, one foot at a time, heading home.

When Li Feng finally got home, he checked the time and found it was already 11:00 PM. The return trip had taken him over three hours, which was really exhausting!

He went upstairs, entered the room, and stuffed the 30,000 yuan under the bedsheet. He then charged his phone and went into the bathroom for a refreshing shower. After that, he threw himself onto the bed, and his mind instantly entered the jade pendant space. He looked at the old man lying on the armchair and asked happily, "Old Man, how do you think I did today? Do I look like a mysterious urban hero who comes and goes without a trace?"

"Tch!" Old Man Xie, seeing Li Feng's slightly smug expression, poured a bucket of cold water on him, "What are you so proud of? With your current level, you can't even beat a low-ranking disciple of the Beast Taming Sect!"

"Ah?" Li Feng was taken aback, his previously raised tail instantly drooping. He knew what Old Man Xie said was true. Back in the Beast Taming Sect, even a low-ranking disciple had a cultivation level of mid to late Foundation Establishment, and with his newly advanced mid Foundation Establishment level, he was no match for them!

"Alright, don't be discouraged. After all, how long have you been practicing?" Old Man Xie seemed to realize he had been too harsh and added, "If the cultivators knew you completed your Foundation Establishment in just one night, they would be so jealous their eyes would turn red!"

Old Man Xie paused and then said in a tone as if he had just remembered something, "Oh, right, I have some good news for you. Do you want to hear it?"

"Spit it out!" Li Feng said irritably, "Stop being so mysterious!"

Old Man Xie chuckled, "Because you 'accidentally' advanced to mid Foundation Establishment today, you have successfully unlocked some of the restrictions in the jade pendant. You can now use some of its basic functions!"

"Basic functions?" Li Feng was surprised, "Isn't this jade pendant a legacy token? It has functions too?"
