King of Assassins

At this moment, no one cared about Li Feihong.

Black Dragon, Quick Blade Nineteen Brothers, War Axe, these mob leaders were discussing together.

Because there were too many people, no one wanted to take the lead. Being the first to act might not bring any advantages; if something goes wrong, others might take advantage instead.

So, the big gangs didn’t move. The other medium and small gangs were anxious but even more hesitant to act recklessly.

In this situation, daring to make a rash move was akin to courting death, wasn’t it?

War Axe, with the worst temper and the least patience, said to Black Dragon, "How long are we going to wait? If that kid isn’t in there, we’ll become a laughing stock."

Black Dragon didn’t say a word, but the leader of the Quick Blade Nineteen Brothers spoke up: "What do you mean?"

War Axe shouted, "No more waiting, let’s go in together. Whoever finds him first gets him."

The leader of the Quick Blade Brothers thought for a moment and nodded forcefully, "Let’s do it. Black Dragon, if you’re not in, stay out of the way."

Black Dragon gave a cold laugh, "Why should I stay out of the way? Let’s see whose luck is better."

With that, he waved his hand, leading a group of men in black quickly into the slanting building.

This collapsed leaning building, tilted against its own collapsed floors inside, had a very complex environment.

Once Black Dragon and his men entered, they felt uncomfortable in various ways, but fortunately, the space inside was quite open. Moreover, because of the collapsed walls and broken windows, it was quite bright inside.

Black Dragon brought in several dozen people, spreading out in a fan shape, each of them holding fully automatic firearms.

Gao Xuan had charged into the Purple Rose Headquarters all alone and came out unscathed, showcasing his skills.

Despite their aggressive demeanor, this group was essentially very cautious at heart.

In the multi-level tilted building, the inside space was vast. It could easily accommodate several thousand people. A few dozen entering made no apparent disturbance.

Quick Blade Gang and Axe Gang immediately followed suit. However, they each chose a direction.

After all, it was a collapsed skyscraper; it made no difference from which direction one entered.

As several major gangs moved together, the other dozens of gangs became restless. Some wanted to wait a bit, while others were eager to try their luck.

In this era, truly clear-headed people were rare. People in gangs, in particular, often lacked sense.

Characters like Li Zhennan and Li Feihong were considered the smart ones in gangs.

Twenty million, for small and medium gangs, was an enormous sum. Besides, they could take this opportunity to latch onto the Celestial Net Company’s coattails.

Many people with a high opinion of themselves always think they just lack that one chance. So, they are willing to take risks, even knowing how dangerous Gao Xuan is.

The key is when a crowd gathers, there’s naturally a delusion of their strength in numbers.

On the other hand, people have a strong herd mentality.

Many people crazily rushed into the slanting building, while the remaining couldn’t hold back and followed in a rush.

In an instant, at least one or two thousand people entered the building through various ways.

Soon, the sound of gunfire, grenades exploding, and various screams echoed in the building.

This chaotic scene didn’t scare the others; instead, it fueled the ambitions of those left outside.

In this messy situation, rushing in for an opportunistic kill, what if luck permits a single bullet to take out Gao Xuan?

So, the brutal fights inside the building did not deter others.

Li Feihong stood at the back, and in just a few minutes, no one was left in front of her.

Outside the slanting building, there was hardly anyone visible.

Li Feihong was somewhat stunned, had this group gone mad?

Even more surprisingly, one of her subordinates whispered to her, "Miss, shouldn’t we join in, too? It’s such a golden opportunity, after all—twenty million!"

Li Feihong was both angry and frustrated, how could her subordinate be so foolish, even wanting to join in this mess?

She said coldly, "If you want to earn the bounty, go ahead."

That subordinate, though not very bright, sensed something was amiss. He shrank his neck and dared not utter another word.

Li Feihong was somewhat worried as she watched the slanting building. Despite the large number of gang members inside, it was unlikely they’d fight among themselves. Everyone’s foremost target must be Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan was in danger...

A low buzzing whirred in the sky, Li Feihong looked up and saw several small drones circling the slanting building.

The metallic bodies of the drones were painted with the Celestial Net Company logo.

Li Feihong knew that the Celestial Net Company must have heard the news and dispatched drones to check the situation.

Drones were expensive and prone to damage. Remote control also posed technical challenges.

So, drones were rarely seen in the slums.

Li Feihong, being well-educated, understood what these things were.

Not wanting to be seen by the drones, Li Feihong quickly led her people into a collapsed building to hide.

They were quite far from the slanting building, but they could still see part of it.

No need for close observation, as continuous gunfire from inside the slanting building proved the battle was ongoing.

Even from this distance, Li Feihong could hear the cursing inside the building.

Of course, the most piercing were the screams of pain.

The screams grew ever louder, blending into something like a multi-voiced chorus.

Listening from afar, Li Feihong felt a chill across her body. Who knew what scale of battle was erupting in the slanting building for it to be so brutal.

And who knew what ability Gao Xuan had to withstand an assault by a thousand or two thousand people.

Li Feihong was curious as well, just how powerful was Gao Xuan’s extraordinary Thunderbolt Power?

Could Gao Xuan really use lightning to electrocute all those thousands to death?
