Chapter 75

Yi Ye finally heaved a sigh of relief, "I heard that the second son recently recruited a very promising young man, but he's also very troublesome, and recently even got the Sky Snake Gang to issue a death warrant. Is that you?"

Qian Ye smiled and said, "Troublesome? I just felt it wasn't worth holding my breath over. The Sky Snake Gang isn't even worthy of it!"

Yi Ye sized up Qian Ye and sneered, "You have big words, but without the strength to back them up, what good are they? You can't beat the Sky Snake Gang. They have several Level 4 experts."

"Does that mean I shouldn't fight if I can't win?" Qian Ye countered.

Yi Ye sighed, "When I was young, I thought the same way. But now I realize that if you can't win, it's best not to fight. That's the smart thing to do."

Qian Ye smiled faintly, "Then I'll just not be a smart person."

Yi Ye shook his head, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"I have something to sell to you."

Qian Ye took out the Flowing Gold Rose and placed it on the counter, pushing it over.

Yi Ye immediately stood up, exclaiming, "The Flowing Gold Rose!"

He took out a magnifying glass and carefully examined every detail of the Flowing Gold Rose. After a long while, he said, "It's true! This is a handmade Flowing Gold Rose by the Niedzialek family, a masterpiece among the original force guns in this series."

Yi Ye looked at Qian Ye and said, "I heard the Sky Snake Gang also lost a Flowing Gold Rose. So it won't be easy to sell this now."

Qian Ye's face, slightly blurred by the smoke, had a faint smile. "Since I've met the second son, I know you, the first son, must have a way to sell it."

Yi Ye nodded, "That's true, it's just a bit troublesome. But this Flowing Gold Rose is worth the trouble. However, you know, given the current situation, the price won't be very good. What do you want?"

Qian Ye pondered for a moment and said, "I want a Level 3 pistol or shotgun, something with a lot of power. The rate of fire and range don't matter. I also need some original force bullets, either blank or infused."

This deal was essentially trading the Flowing Gold Rose for a regular Level 3 original force gun. In the upper continent, the Flowing Gold Rose could easily be exchanged for four high-quality Level 3 original force guns.

Yi Ye put away the Flowing Gold Rose, went to the back room, and returned a moment later, placing a pistol case and a bullet box in front of Qian Ye.

"The Butcher Model 3, refurbished, but with additional force arrays installed, slightly increasing its power. This is a box of blank original force bullets, with ten rounds inside."

Qian Ye picked up the Butcher pistol and inspected it. It was a revolver, but the cylinder could only hold four solid original force bullets. Its caliber was exceptionally large, with a barrel length of forty centimeters. The muzzle was so wide it could fit a child's fist, looking incredibly lethal, living up to its name as the Butcher.

The Butcher series was a widely used original force pistol, purely designed for maximum power. A Level 3 Butcher could fire with the highest energy level equivalent to a large-caliber machine gun in conventional firearms, essentially a small steel cannon in the hand. One shot could easily penetrate the armor of an armored vehicle.

This gun was about seventy percent new. From the marks of internal modifications, it was clear that a skilled person had modified it, increasing its power by another ten percent.

Qian Ye was very satisfied with the Butcher and immediately holstered it on his waist.

"You'd better leave Dark Blood City immediately," Yi Ye said.

"I'm leaving now," Qian Ye said. "But to me, it doesn't matter whether I'm inside or outside the city."

Leaving Yi Ye's gun shop, Qian Ye hadn't walked far when he saw several Sky Snake Gang members approaching from the opposite street. These people were no longer just wandering; they held their guns, fingers on the triggers, looking like they were facing a major threat. Behind him, Qian Ye also felt a few people rapidly approaching, clearly planning to surround him from both sides.

Qian Ye didn't hide, so the Sky Snake Gang members immediately spotted him.

"It's that little brat!"

"Don't let him escape!"

The Sky Snake Gang members on the opposite side quickly drew their machetes and charged over, while the sound of weapons cutting through the air came from behind.

Guns couldn't be used on Bronze Copper Street; it was an unwritten rule, or it would be seen as declaring war on all the shop owners on the street. Those who dared to break this rule quickly became corpses, found in the sewers.

Although the shops on Bronze Copper Street were small, they all sold military equipment.

Qian Ye was well aware of this rule. He stood still, then with a swift movement, he grabbed his small axe.

The two groups charged madly, about to sandwich Qian Ye between them. Just a few more steps, and the leading person's blade would touch his back.

Qian Ye moved, taking a step forward and crashing into the group in front, sending two people flying. Then a cold flash, the axe drew a horizontal arc, slicing across the waists of the remaining three!

Qian Ye had already dashed ten meters away, then stopped and slowly turned around.

Thud, thud. The two gang members he had sent flying hit the ground, convulsing and struggling but unable to get up. The other three, clutching their waists, slowly fell, blood quickly spreading.

The three gang members who had charged from behind stopped in shock, staring at Qian Ye, unable to move. Seeing the five people in front of them taken down in an instant, they knew they would be no match. They suddenly shouted and turned to run!

Qian Ye casually picked up a machete and threw it with force. The machete spun like lightning, whistling through the air, and instantly pierced the back of one gang member!

The other two ran even faster, disappearing at the end of Bronze Copper Street. If Qian Ye had wanted to, they wouldn't have escaped. But he didn't bother chasing them, quickly leaving Bronze Copper Street and using the night as cover, he climbed up the web-like pipelines behind a dense cluster of buildings.

In the middle of the night, Qian Ye appeared unexpectedly by the city gate, passing by a Sky Snake Gang checkpoint, and walked through the grand city tower, heading far away.

That night, Sky Snake slept very restlessly, feeling uneasy and waking up frequently.

After a long night, he not only didn't feel refreshed but felt even more exhausted. Sky Snake's mood was naturally very bad, especially with his beloved son still in bed, unsure if he could fully recover.

Qian Ye had been very ruthless, almost shattering the young man's knee with a single shot.

Such an injury was hard to heal, and the metal fragments in the bone needed to be removed in several operations. The doctors in the city couldn't do this delicate work well, and to avoid any aftereffects, he would have to be sent to the headquarters of the expeditionary force, or even to the upper continent.

Thinking of the enormous costs, Sky Snake felt restless and agitated.

If it weren't for his son's talent, reaching the threshold of Level 3 at a young age, and having the potential to advance to Level 5, Sky Snake might have given up on him and had more children. But a Level 5 son wasn't something you could just have; he was the one who would inherit his position. So Sky Snake now hated Qian Ye to the bone.

In Sky Snake's eyes, this ignorant brat not only didn't appreciate being allowed to leave the Sky Snake Gang alive but also used such despicable means to injure his son and dared to openly challenge him at the Hunter's Home. He had to be killed!

Under the dual torment of anger and frustration, Sky Snake was almost on the brink of insomnia. Whenever he regained some consciousness, he would hear faint footsteps and occasional noisy voices from outside.

"These useless fools! They can't handle anything!" Sky Snake cursed in his heart.

But the outside didn't quiet down as he hoped; instead, it became more chaotic, with the sounds growing louder.

Sky Snake finally couldn't sleep anymore, sitting up abruptly and unleashing his original force, roaring, "What the hell is going on?!"

Outside, it suddenly became silent.

Sky Snake, with a dark face, put on his clothes and stepped out of the room, his gaze like lightning, sweeping over the guards outside. They immediately shivered, their faces pale, standing straight.

Sky Snake walked to the circular staircase and looked down at the hall below, where the Sky Snake Gang's high-level meetings and deliberations took place.

The hall was now full of people, including those who weren't on duty today. They were drowsy, clearly just woken up.

Sky Snake, from his high vantage point, his eyes like lightning, coldly scanned the crowd and angrily shouted, "What's going on?"

Faced with Sky Snake's fury, everyone in the hall trembled instinctively. No one dared to face Sky Snake's anger.

Finally, someone stepped forward and said, "Boss, we had many casualties tonight."

"How many?" Sky Snake almost roared.

"One hundred... one hundred and thirty people." The person, under pressure, finally reported the number.

Hearing this number, Sky Snake was shocked but quickly calmed down, asking, "Who did it?"

"It was that brat, Qian Ye."

Bang! Sky Snake smashed the staircase's railing with a punch! He leaped down from the second floor, causing the entire hall to shake.

Sky Snake's gaze swept over his capable subordinates, and he sternly asked, "We lost so many people, where is Qian Ye's body?"

No one spoke. Sky Snake's face became even darker.

The heavy number made everyone realize that the Sky Snake Gang had truly provoked a formidable opponent. Although Qian Ye's level wasn't high, he had killed so many gang members in one night, which was not something an ordinary person could do. Even Sky Snake admitted that at Level 3, he couldn't have done it so cleanly.

This brat must not be left alive!

Sky Snake calmed down and asked, "Where is he now?"

"Someone saw him leave the city."

"Seen?" Sky Snake's eyes flashed with killing intent.

The person who answered immediately realized his mistake and quickly added, "It was someone outside the gang who saw him."

Sky Snake had issued a death warrant, and Sky Snake Gang members were supposed to kill Qian Ye on sight. Seeing him and not acting was considered insubordination. Of course, ordinary gang members were afraid of Qian Ye, but the order didn't care about that.

Seeing the person quickly correct himself, Sky Snake didn't pursue it. He turned and walked to the central sofa, sat down, and began to think.

After a moment, Sky Snake slowly said, "Black Wolf, Flying Bird, you two take the Execution Hall's death squad and go outside the city. Bring that brat back to me."

A dark-skinned man stepped forward when his name was called, saying nothing, just nodding.

Flying Bird was a fair-skinned young man, playing with a thin, blade-like throwing knife. Hearing Sky Snake's order, Flying Bird frowned and said, "That brat is just a Level 3 rookie. Do I really need to go with Black Wolf?"

"This brat is very cunning and has some serious skills. Flying Bird, don't be too careless!" Sky Snake warned.

Hearing Sky Snake's words, Flying Bird shrugged and said nothing.

"Is there any movement from Yu Yingnan?" Sky Snake asked.
