The King of Urban Mercenaries

Lin Fei had dominated the entire cell block. Even Old Li, the elderly man, was somewhat surprised, but since Lin Fei hadn’t done anything too outrageous, Old Li just turned a blind eye.

Thus, Lin Fei spent his next days quite nicely.

However, good times aren’t meant to last, and the ten days flew by quickly, especially in the pitch-black underground prison. In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed, and it was time for Lin Fei to leave.

Although it was only ten brief days, Lin Fei left a profound impression on everyone, including the cell boss and the regular inmates.

Despite ruling the cell block, Lin Fei’s demeanor was quite calm. He didn’t bully the ordinary inmates, nor did he order them around. On the contrary, if any cell boss bullied other inmates, Lin Fei would step in to teach them a lesson.

Therefore, during these ten days, the regular inmates truly hoped Lin Fei wouldn’t leave. But departures were inevitable, as Lin Fei had matters to attend to. He couldn’t stay with a group of people, some of whom were involved in wrongdoings but were now remorseful.

"Lin Fei, are you ready to go now? If you are, come with me." Old Li personally came to ask Lin Fei.

Lin Fei naturally nodded and then walked out of the cell block. Facing everyone, he said goodbye and vanished into the end of the cell block. Whatever chaos or struggles occurred there afterward had nothing to do with them or Lin Fei.

Arriving at the prison gates, a guard unlocked Lin Fei’s chains and handed him his original clothes. After Lin Fei put them on, he chatted briefly with Old Li and headed outside, leaving the place behind.

Just as he emerged, the world appeared as bright as day, engulfed in blinding white light. This was dangerous, truly dangerous. For those who hadn’t seen light for a long time, such a spectacle could cause temporary blindness. It’s best to acclimate first.

But Lin Fei didn’t need to; he hadn’t lived underground for long and his eyes were long accustomed to it. It was just a momentary adjustment needed, and he wouldn’t turn blind.

Finally, Lin Fei emerged, only to immediately spot a familiar person walking over. Lin Fei was taken aback, as was the other person, who then shouted, "Hey! Brother, you’re out?"

The person approaching was Liu Neng, the one who had sent Lin Fei in!

Liu Neng shouted to Lin Fei, and Lin Fei smiled as he walked over. After they met, Lin Fei asked, "That inmate, was he also saying things as they are?"

"No, no, no! This one truly committed a crime; he’s a fugitive who killed a commoner, so he needs to serve a few years." Liu Neng replied.

Lin Fei nodded.

"Brother, how was it inside? You didn’t get bullied, did you?" Liu Neng examined Lin Fei, noticing there were no injuries. Things seemed alright.

"It was okay, no injuries, and nothing else gained," Lin Fei responded with a smile.

"Gains? Did you hope to extort some protection fees inside? Hahaha." Liu Neng laughed. However, thinking about it, it was impossible; all were inmates. Not bullying Lin Fei was good enough, so for Lin Fei to come out safe and sound was sufficient.

"It was alright. I did have that thought, but they were all penniless. I had no choice but to sleep a few days and then leave." Lin Fei said.

At this moment, Liu Neng nodded, looked at Lin Fei, and said, "Lin Fei, I suggest you visit our leader."

"What’s up? Is he looking for me?" Lin Fei asked.

Liu Neng shook his head, "No, but although we’re not familiar, I roughly know the kind of person you are. I hope the boss lets you help him. If he doesn’t, then there’s nothing I can do."

"Help? Okay, I’ll take a look. Hope I can be of assistance." Lin Fei said and then walked toward the city gate direction, where the Commerce Horse Road was located.

Liu Neng watched Lin Fei’s back and then escorted an inmate, entering the cell block.

Upon arriving, Old Li looked at Liu Neng and said, "Liu Neng, your City Defense Army truly gets more promising by the day."

"What’s up, Old Li? From the way you say it, it doesn’t sound like praise!" Liu Neng laughed.

"The person you sent last time, he conquered all the inmates in the cell block. What do you think I’m talking about?"

"What?!" Liu Neng was startled. Is this true?

"The one you sent this time isn’t another of those hiding their true power, right? We have a foundation-level cell block here, can’t accommodate highly skilled individuals, you know?" Old Li said.

"Hehe, this one was personally caught by our City Defense Army, shouldn’t be a problem. But that Lin Fei’s strength is really that great?" Liu Neng asked.

"Ah, his strength is certainly formidable, but the realm is still at the Golden Core Stage; probably about to break through soon, otherwise he wouldn’t be as powerful."

Old Li said, "Put the person down and leave; be careful next time. But I see that kid has strong skills and a good character. These ten days, the cell block has been quite peaceful. But as soon as he left, it immediately became chaotic. I wish he stayed here, hahaha!"

Hearing this, Liu Neng had nothing to say, feeling embarrassed. You may wish to keep him, but would he stay here? Certainly not. After all, in this godforsaken place, if not for duty, Liu Neng wouldn’t return here either, feeling uneasy.

"Then I’ll be off. I told him to find our leader!" Liu Neng was somewhat worried.

"Then hurry up, don’t let anything happen to the Commerce Horse Road. He’s a rare good person!" Old Li said.

"Got it, I’m off!" Liu Neng finished and quickly ran off, disappearing in an instant.

Old Li sighed and then instructed the guard to bring the inmate to the cell block to be locked up for a few years, and then let him out.

At the same time, Old Li needed to keep records himself, otherwise, if there was a mistake, it wouldn’t be good.

Lin Fei, meanwhile, had left and was headed to the alleys of the city. Once in the alleys, he saw how many impoverished people lived in the bustling city. Some were even on the brink of death, and such people were not uncommon, lying in the alleys.

It seemed Lin Fei was still deceived by the surface of this city. What Commerce Horse Road said was true, but relying on Commerce Horse Road’s rescue might not bring much improvement!

At this time, Liu Neng had arrived at the city gate and asked about Commerce Horse Road, "Boss! Lin Fei, where is he? Has he arrived?"
