Duke roared.

He picked up his battle-ax and charged directly in.

The men inside were in the middle of dividing loot and paused in surprise before quickly reacting.

They each reached for their weapons.

Thump~!

A dull thud echoed as the nearest one was sent flying out.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

He crashed into the wall behind him and slowly slid down.

Meanwhile, Duke swung his battle-ax, continuing killing the others.

His powerful swings shattered all furniture in his path, and silver coins scattered all over the floor.

At the entrance.

Bawudong immediately killed the man who opened the door.

The rest followed him into the room.

Holding their weapons, they quickly joined the fight.

They began clashing with the wanted criminals and their associates.

For a while, the whole room reverberated with the sounds of shouting and weapon clashes.

Outside the door, the intensity of the fight drew quite a crowd.

Soon, the last enemy fell.

Duke grabbed a cloth and started wiping off the blood on his ax, saying, “Captain, all taken care of, easy peasy.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Wu Heng glanced around the room. The setup was simple.

Tables, chairs, a wooden bed, and some personal items.

This must be a temporary hideout for these wanted criminals.

He randomly opened two drawers, inside were some moldy fruit cores, they must have been there for a long time.

Nothing valuable.

Wu Heng said directly, “Duke, verify the identity of the wanted criminals. Mata, collect all these silver coins, we’ll split them when we get back.”

“Yes, Captain!”

The two men began to work.

Duke took over the tablet and began to verify the identities of the criminals, to see if anyone else was also on the wanted list.

Mata started to pick up the coins scattered over the floor.

These spoils of war also made quite a decent profit.

Clatter~!

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

At that moment, there came a flurry of footsteps and clamoring from outside the door.

Looking out through the open door.

You could see a large crowd wearing various types of mix-matched gear, parting from the onlookers and gathering at the doorway.

Their equipment was disorganized, which was characteristic of gang members.

Wu Heng glanced at the group outside and asked, “Duke, have the identities been confirmed?”

“Confirmed, only one person is wanted.” Duke replied.

Wu Heng took back the tablet and said, “Leave the wanted criminal there for now, let’s go and find out what these people want.”

“Oh.”

People outside were still shouting for them to come out.

Duke walked out of the door, his hulking figure, silver armour and battle-ax in hand.

The clamoring froze and the volume decreased, they cautiously stepped back.

“What do you want?” Duke asked directly.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The gang members in front parted, opening a clear path.

A middle-aged man wearing leather armour and a goatee strode up.

He glanced at the imposing beastman, showing no sign of fear, and said, “This is the territory of the ‘Scorpion Gang’. You dared to break in and kill people here, you must have a death wish.”

The division of territory by different gangs was a unique approach in Lundham City.

According to Wu Heng’s understanding, it was outsourcing security.

The gangs managed some law enforcement and collected taxes for the city hall in return.

They were also part of the forces under Lundham City.

They still had some backbone.

Duke looked down at him and said, “We are from the Association. We are here to capture a wanted criminal based on our intel.”

“Association? How can you prove…”.

Duke took out the association’s emblem, showed it to the man, and continued, “You have no business here. You may leave now.”

At that moment, another person approached them.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

They whispered something in the ear of the man with the goatee.

The man with the goatee glanced inside, where a few people were picking up silver coins.

He stated outright: “You can take the wanted criminal, but the belongings inside belong to the old owner of this house. You can’t take them.”

“We won’t touch the items in the room.” Duke responded.

“Those silver coins are included. You can’t take them,” the man asserted.

Duke instantly understood the man’s intention and immediately retorted, “On what grounds? You haven’t lifted a finger, and yet you want a share of the spoils.”

With that, Duke took a step to block the man’s view of what was inside.

“Well, you can’t see it that way. The association can’t just take things from other people’s homes,” The man raised his hand and the gang members behind him stepped forward.

Duke looked more serious and turned to the back, “Captain, they want us to leave the silver coins. We should take the wanted criminal and leave.”

Wu Heng came out with a few skeletons.

He looked at the leading man and said, “The association is hunting the criminal. All gang mercenary groups should cooperate.”

“Yes, we’re cooperating. But now that you’re done, we need to reclaim management of the area.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Who says we’re done? How do you know there’s only one wanted criminal here? Or maybe you don’t know if there are any criminals in the areas you manage?” Wu Heng retorted.

The man was not flustered at all and crossed his arms saying, “You can’t just say whatever you want, this…”

Whoosh~!

The man’s words were interrupted.

The sharp sound of something cutting through the air resonated.

A chilling light shot out of the crowd and headed straight for Wu Heng’s chest.

Wu Heng’s eyes contracted, a strong sense of danger welled up from deep within him. He wanted to dodge, but his body couldn’t keep up with his brain.

The arrow seemed destined to hit him in the chest.

Bawudong stepped diagonally, blocking him.

He grabbed the chilling light and threw it to the side.

It was Bawudong’s ability, [Capture Flying Arrow].

The next second, Wu Heng’s body reacted.

Duke immediately stepped forward, grabbed Wu Heng’s waist, and rushed back into the safety of the building.

Bawudong and Basen, both moved forward.

They pushed down the goateed gang leader to the ground, the sharp edge of a knife against his throat.

Gurgle~!

The gang members around them immediately reached for their weapons, and were about to rush in.

The goateed man shouted, “Scorpion Gang, don’t move, it’s a misunderstanding. Sheathe your weapons.”

Killing the captain of the association.

He would have to be sick of living to do such a foolish thing.

Let alone he, the leader of a small gang in the outskirts of the city.

If you ask whether the people of the consortium would dare to kill the captain, would the City Lord’s Mansion dare to?

He had no clue where the arrow came from.

But if they started fighting, there’d be no way to clarify anything.

The gang members didn’t move forward.

The man was shoved to the ground, spat out the soil that had gotten in his mouth, and continued to shout, “The Captain inside, it wasn’t my people who made the move, you must investigate clearly.”

Inside the room, Wu Heng looked grim.

He checked himself, confirmed there were no injuries, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

He nearly lost his life outside.

“Captain, I’ll go out and kill them all!” Duke said angrily.

“Don’t go out. Be careful of a surprise attack!”

Mata also walked over, hid by the window, and took a look at the outside situation.

The she squatted down and picked up the crossbow bolt from the ground to examine it.

She said, “It’s either from an arm crossbow or a small crossbow. They were prepared.”

Wu Heng nodded. It had been prepared in advance.

At this point, the door opened.

The goateed gang leader, being held at knife point, was dragged inside.

He was thrown onto the ground, wiping cold sweat from his forehead while explaining, “It wasn’t my people who did this. It has nothing to do with me at all.”
