Chapter 73

Qian Ye did not dodge or evade. He took a step forward with his left foot, raised his right knee, and directly collided with the young man's sweeping kick! There was a crack, and amidst the young man's scream of pain, his foot twisted unnaturally, the ankle already broken.

The young man could no longer stand and fell to the ground, looking up at Qian Ye. Only then did he feel genuine fear!

Qian Ye's expression did not change much. The last smile, like spring water, had not completely faded, as if the dozen or so lives he had taken were just a trivial matter.

The young man finally understood that with his strength as a Level 2 Warrior, he was nothing more than an ant that could be crushed at any time in the eyes of this handsome but somewhat delicate young man. Qian Ye's true strength was far beyond what he appeared to be!

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, my father is Tian She!" The young man's voice was already tinged with sobs, his body moving backward, trying to distance himself from this demon.

"I know your father is Tian She," Qian Ye said calmly.

He calmly loaded the last bullet into the chamber, aimed at the young man's other intact leg, and said, "I won't kill you. Go back and tell Tian She that if he dares to bother me again, I'll play this game to the end! As for you, if you show up in front of me again, you won't be so lucky today. This is a small lesson for you, and also a lesson for Tian She."

As he spoke, Qian Ye pulled the trigger. The bullet roared out of the barrel and struck the young man's knee. With the heavy bullet, even though the young man was a Level 2 Warrior, his knee was almost shattered.

Qian Ye casually threw the empty gun at the young man's face, then pulled out the Rose of Flowing Gold from his waist and said, "You don't deserve to use this gun, and neither does Tian She!"

Qian Ye turned and left.

It was only after his figure had disappeared for a long time that the young man dared to cry out, "Help! Who can save me!"

A moment later, at the headquarters of the Tian She Gang, Tian She slammed his hand on the coffee table, shattering the entire hardwood table into pieces! His face was so dark it seemed to be dripping with water, looking at the row of over a dozen corpses on the floor of the hall, his cheeks twitching.

Tian She's only precious son was currently receiving medical treatment in the back. Both his hand and foot were crushed, and the knee of his other leg was almost completely ruined. However, these injuries were not the most important. His son had been so traumatized that he was now somewhat delirious, occasionally letting out screams as if Qian Ye were right in front of him.

Even if his external injuries could be healed, such a son would never reach Tian She's current level in his lifetime. Originally, Tian She had hoped he would inherit the Tian She Gang.

Tian She slowly stood up, his killing intent rolling out, and shouted, "Call people! We're going to the Hunter's Home!"

An hour later, hundreds of leather-clad men appeared at the entrance of the Hunter's Home, filling the entire small street, each with a snake tattoo on their arm in various forms.

Tian She strode in, leading a dozen trusted subordinates into the Hunter's Home.

In the hall, a few hunters who were sitting all stood up in shock and suspicion, looking at the menacing Tian She.

"This has nothing to do with you! Sit down, or I'll consider it a provocation," Tian She said coldly.

The few hunters, all around Level 2 Warriors, turned pale and sat back down. Tian She was a Level 5 Warrior, and the gap in strength was clear, far beyond what they could resist.

Only Second Master remained seated behind the counter, merely glancing up when Tian She and his subordinates entered, then continued to focus on his book.

With a bang, Tian She slapped his hand heavily on the counter!

However, the counter did not shatter as he had expected; only a few cracks spread across the surface.

When Tian She's hand landed, Second Master's hand also rested on the counter, a thick layer of original energy protecting it, colliding fiercely with Tian She's original energy.

The counter still cracked in several places, clearly indicating that Tian She's original energy was slightly superior.

Tian She's face was extremely ugly, and he said coldly, "Second Master, you're not going to start a full-scale war with the Tian She Gang over that Level 1 Hunter, are you?"

Second Master adjusted his reading glasses, looking at Tian She through the already scratched lenses, and said earnestly, "You mean Qian Ye? What happens between you and him is none of my business, nor the Hunter's Home's. But if you come in here and try to destroy my counter, if my livelihood is ruined, what else can I do? I'll have to fight, won't I?"

Tian She said coldly, "This counter hasn't broken yet, but my son is crippled! So if the Hunter's Home wants to protect that little brat, this fight is inevitable! Don't forget, we have over a dozen lives at stake!"

Second Master frowned and said slowly, "Tian She, don't forget that the Hunter's Home isn't just in Black Blood City; there are Hunter's Homes even in the upper continent of the Empire. Even if you don't give me face, don't do something foolish."

Tian She sneered, "Of course, the Tian She Gang can't compare to the entire Hunter's Home. But I haven't heard of the Hunter's Home breaking its own rules and getting involved in such matters."

"Rules aren't without exceptions, especially when someone smashes my counter."

Tian She didn't even frown, "So, Second Master, you're going to push this to the extreme?"

Before Second Master could speak, Qian Ye's voice came from the side, "What if I do?"

Tian She turned abruptly, his eyes like an eagle, staring at Qian Ye, and said with a cold laugh, "Good! You're very good! I've never seen anyone dare to provoke the Tian She Gang so openly! Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Qian Ye also sneered, "Your people wanted to kill me, but they just weren't good enough and ended up being killed by me. What else is there to say? Should I just wait to die? Tian She, do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Tian She's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "A mere Level 3 kid, even if I bully you, so what? You showed some talent back then, but now if I kill you, all that talent will be for nothing!"

Qian Ye smiled sarcastically, "Just you?"

Tian She's pupils contracted, then he laughed, "Why don't we try it now?"

Second Master stood up at this point and said solemnly, "Tian She, do you really have to kill someone here?"

"Second Master, what do you want? Even if you're willing to risk it, don't forget, the Hunter's Home has more than just him." Tian She's face was unhappy, his words already a threat.

Second Master was unmoved and said calmly, "You brought so many people in, that's crossing the line. So today, no one can make a move here. Otherwise, you'll be my enemy. After tonight, whatever happens between you and Qian Ye is no longer my concern."

Tian She raised his eyebrows, wanting to say something but held back, then nodded forcefully and said coldly, "Fine! Second Master, today I'll give you this face, but it's the last one! Starting tomorrow morning, I'll settle accounts with this kid. But I have to warn you, Second Master, you have many hunters, but not all of them are strong. I hope they all have smooth missions in the future. If I happen to run into any of them in the city or outside, I might 'help' them a bit!"

Tian She glanced at the hunters in the hall, then called his subordinates and swaggered away.

The faces of several Level 2 Hunters were very ugly. If they encountered Tian She or the few experts of the Tian She Gang on a mission, they wouldn't even have a chance to run. Being a hunter was already a very dangerous profession, and now with the Tian She Gang as a major enemy, the risk of death had increased significantly. Therefore, many hunters looked at Qian Ye with considerable hostility.

"A new hunter, he really doesn't know his place! If he wants to fight the Tian She Gang to the death, that's his business, but don't drag us into it!"

"Exactly!"

"Be careful on missions in the future. Being too arrogant can lead to death!"

These hunters grumbled, their resentment growing, and their words becoming more and more harsh.

Qian Ye said nothing, just suddenly glared at them.

The hunters suddenly choked. They were many, and Qian Ye was only one level higher than them, so they shouldn't have been afraid of him, but now, under Qian Ye's gaze, they all shivered and couldn't continue. They looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes, so they didn't dare to stay and grumbled as they left.

Qian Ye came to the counter and said to Second Master, "Do you have any alcohol? I want a drink."

Second Master took out a cup and pulled out a small purple clay wine jar from under the counter, poured a small half cup, and pushed it to Qian Ye.

Qian Ye picked up the cup, drank it in one gulp, then held his breath for a moment and said, "Good wine! But it's still a bit worse than what I brew myself."

"Are you talking about military stimulants?" Second Master clearly knew more than he appeared.

"That does have some side effects, so the dosage needs to be controlled."

Second Master poured another cup for Qian Ye and said, "It seems you have quite a bit of trouble with Tian She."

"Indeed! His son just tried to rob me."

"Sounds like that young man's style. But he has a bit of cunning, knowing to pick on someone he can handle."

Qian Ye exhaled a breath of alcohol and smiled, "But his luck wasn't good, so he picked on me, and I happen to be the kind of person he shouldn't mess with."

Second Master looked deeply at Qian Ye and said, "You're very confident."

Qian Ye said calmly, "I just think they shouldn't be allowed to do whatever they want."

"What do you need from me?"

"You've done enough for me."

"Maybe more ammunition and weapons..."

"No need, I'll get them from Tian She."

Qian Ye put the empty cup back on the counter and walked out of the Hunter's Home.

At the entrance of the hall, a tall, muscular man was leaning against the door, one of the three people Qian Ye had met the first time he came to the Hunter's Home.

Seeing Qian Ye, he suddenly spat on the ground and said, "I hate guys who smell like Empire dogs. But the scum of the Tian She Gang is even more disgusting! The whole street is full of their informants. If you're not careful, I might have to collect your body tomorrow morning."

Qian Ye stopped and said, "If you like the business of collecting bodies, then congratulations, you'll have plenty of Tian She Gang members to take care of your business. But thank you, even though I don't like you either."

The man nodded, moved away from the door, and walked to the counter, saying to Second Master, "Second Master, give me a mission!"

After Qian Ye left the Hunter's Home, he turned into a nearby dark alley without hurrying.

A few loiterers around the Hunter's Home immediately followed at a distance. As soon as Qian Ye entered the alley, he suddenly accelerated, rushing to the end of the alley like a hurricane, and turned left.

The trackers, not wanting to expose themselves, rushed to the intersection. But by the time they reached the crossroads, Qian Ye was already gone.

A moment later, Qian Ye appeared outside Yu Yingnan's door. Before he could raise his hand to knock, the door suddenly opened, and Yu Yingnan, fully armed, holding a powerful double-barreled shotgun, stepped out with a fierce look.

Qian Ye suddenly pounced, pushing Yu Yingnan back into the room and kicking the door shut.
