Chapter 111: What a loss! I Can\'t Even Get the Original Investment Back!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Mystic Four fell silent immediately. Among the group, Mystic Four\'s main function was more of a military advisor kind of guy. As opposed to using his fists to solve his problems, he preferred to use his head instead.

The moment the words left Gao Xin\'s mouth, Mystic Four knew that the intentions behind this meeting were not friendly.

Every organization followed their own unique rules. The Jing Jiang territory which was under the Bei Feng Guards not only did not dabble in drugs and prostitution, they also prohibited people outside of their organization from conducting their trade there, thus blocking the income of many people.

Back when \'Brother Scar\' was in charge of the territory, apart from enjoying the effects of the rich history of the place, every single businesses, no matter big or small, had to contribute a share of their profits to the gang. It didn\'t matter what the amount was, but it signified their allegiance.

But after the Bei Feng Guards took over, everyone was freed from the \'protection fees\'. They did not take a single yuan from the common folks, and conducted their businesses like honest people.

These actions, although noble, were a thorn in the eyes of the other gangs! They were like a stray horse that made the whole herd look bad!

If things went on like this for a long period of time, the prestige built up by those underground gangs would all be gone!

As the saying went, breaking the rice bowl of others was equivalent to killing their parents! People who didn\'t have sufficient backing and still go about doing something like that wouldn\'t even know how they died!

Furthermore, most of those people affected by this new regime had connections to Qing Gang. That was the main reason why Gao Xin had been sent to suppress them.

Actually, Mystic Four also had his own difficulties which he was unable to voice. The rules they enforced in their territory were all a result of Bei Feng\'s restrictions! Whoever touched it was the unfortunate person. At that moment, the nine Bei Feng Guards could only exchange helpless glances with each other.

"Those two choices... we are not going to pick either of them. If there\'s nothing else, we\'re leaving first," the smile on Mystic Four\'s face had completely disappeared without a trace, replaced by a solemn grimness as he turned his back on Gao Xin.

"You dare?!"

Gao Xin\'s expression turned hideous as he hollered. He didn\'t expect that this bunch of people actually held zero fear or respect for his Qing Gang!

Mystic Four paused his steps and waved his hands lightly. "Even if it\'s your Qing Gang, we will not shrink from a fight!"

Gao Xin was so furious that he actually started laughing out loud. "Good! Very good! I\'ve not seen such a bunch of courageous upstarts who dared to pick a fight with my Qing Gang in a very long time! However, do you seriously think you can leave so easily today?!"

"Clack, clack, clack!"

As soon as Gao Xin\'s words landed, the 20-30 men at the back immediately rushed forward, a crossbow ready in the hands of each men.

Mystic Four\'s facial expression changed drastically. Since this place was not that far out of the city, they thought that the people from Qing Gang would definitely not dare to bring out their guns. Otherwise, no matter how impressive the gang, they would definitely not be able to escape the law!

But surprisingly, they had actually been prepared even for this, and had actually brought ancient weapons like crossbows!

"Fire!"

Gao Xin chuckled coldly as he watched the ugly expressions on the other side\'s faces. It was a bit of a pity, he felt. If these people could be absorbed into his own force, how awesome would that be!

"Quick, break out!"

Mystic Four yelled as he unhesitatingly pulled the nearest guy out of his way.

The other Mystics also reacted extremely quickly, employing the same tactic as Mystic Four, throwing bodies behind them as a shield!

The nine were originally a bunch of wicked and selfish people. At a crucial time, there was no way they would care about things like brotherhood and friendship! What the hell was something useless like that worth compared to their own lives?!

"Puu! Puu!"

"Ahh!"

"Brothers, charge!"

Tens of gleaming cold steel arrows shot out of the crossbows in an instant!

The sounds of metal piercing through flesh constantly sounded out amidst the chaos. At such a short distance, the destructive force of the crossbows was terrifyingly devastating!

The 20 over men whom Mystic Four brought over immediately began to fall like a bunch of wheat. After just one round of arrows, there were only a few ragtag men left standing through sheer luck.

The nine Mystics had reacted fast enough, each one managing to pull an unlucky bastard behind them to block the arrows in time. As for themselves, they were already charging out of the encirclement with all their might!

"Block them! They must not be allowed to escape no matter what!" Gao Xin felt his heart turn cold as he watched the movements of the nine Mystics. To pull their own men behind them to block their arrows so decisively... these people were truly cold-blooded! It was fine if only one person did this, but for the entire group to do this without even the slightest hesitation was truly fearsome! If he let them escape today, he would have no peace of mind day and night, being worried whether he were awake or asleep!

However, Mystic Four and the rest\'s speed was too fast. Before a new batch of arrows could be loaded into the crossbows, they had already charged right into the midst of people!

"Pu! Pu!"

Wielding a pair of knives expertly in each hand, the nine Mystics forcefully carved a path out while accompanied by the dreadful sounds of knives slicing through flesh!

The group did not even pause in their steps and directly headed for the parking lot.

"Pu!"

"NO!"

"Kill them all!"

The twang of three crossbows sounded out simultaneously and Mystic Seven, Mystic Eleven and Mystic Twelve were not able to dodge in time, being slightly slower than the rest. Mystic Eleven immediately fell lifelessly to the ground on the spot.

Mystic Twelve and Mystic Seven staggered violently and turned around, their hands still held tightly onto their blades as they felt their life force flowing out of their wounds rapidly. Looking back at the others who had already escaped to the minivan, Mystic Seven charged back towards the Qing Gang, roaring valiantly.

Gao Xin\'s eyebrows twitched violently as he looked at the number of injured and dead men on his side. They had sacrificed so many men, but didn\'t even manage to take down their opponents completely! Six of the prime targets had actually managed to escape! His face was as cold as the winter\'s blizzard as he looked venomously at the minivan disappearing into the distance.

Back in the old mansion, Bei Feng was enjoying a leisurely afternoon as he observed the four tables of guests in the yard. Sighs of amazement and contentment continuously sounded out as the guests put piece after piece of braised Variant Giant Salamander meat into their mouths. Although the black-hearted boss had placed them in the yard on such a hot day, they could not be bothered to complain at this point. The most important thing was to enjoy the food before them!

\'Hm? Three pages from the Book of Spiritual Contract disappeared!\'

Bei Feng, who was indoors, enjoying his own pot of Variant Giant Salamander with Bai Xiang, suddenly sat up in shock. Thereafter, he was filled with boundless rage!

It was fine if he had an episode of bad luck for the past few days. That was because he had been hit by the terrifying innate ability of the Fox of Natural and Human Calamity. It couldn\'t really be helped. But because of that, Bei Feng had a lot of pent-up emotions which he had been unable to vent.

And now, he had actually lost three of his precious Spirit Slaves! Bei Feng exploded with anger in an instant!

After a more detailed observation, he identified the casualties as Mystic Seven, Mystic Eleven and Mystic Twelve. He heaved a sigh in relief at that. If it was Mystic One, Two and Three who had been eliminated, he would really have suffered an unimaginably huge loss!

Even so, the loss of three had incurred the wrath of Bei Feng. It was not because he cared about the three Mystics. Instead, his heart was bleeding from the loss of his investment!

A petal from the Vampiric Vine had been spent to nurture each Mystic! But now, three pieces of such a treasure had all been wasted for nothing!

Bai Xiang looked up and swallowed the bit of Variant Giant Salamander in his mouth nervously. \'Boss\'s cultivation is becoming stronger and stronger... even that unintentional burst of aura caused me to feel like I had been eyed by a terrifying enemy!\'

Bei Feng put down his chopsticks and walked out of the room with a thunderous face.

"Duu, duu!"

The call finally connected after 10 seconds and Bei Feng\'s expressionless voice sounded. "Mystic Seven, Mystic Eleven, and Mystic Twelve are all dead, right?"

Mystic Four gasped in shock. How did boss know so quickly? Thinking back to Bei Feng\'s capabilities, he hurriedly nodded, "That\'s right."

"Tell me, how did they die?" Bei Feng\'s voice trembled slightly with rage as he asked.

A few minutes later, Bei Feng put down the phone with a murderous look in his eyes. "Qing Gang. What a gutsy, dominating Qing Gang!"

Returning to the room, he informed Bai Xiang that he would be going out for a few days and instructed him to keep an eye on the reconstruction work at the mansion. With the little fox meeping excitedly on his shoulders, he left the mansion.

After getting into a taxi, Bei Feng closed his eyes and began meditating to regain his tranquility.

The ride took more than an hour and as soon as Bei Feng reached Qingcheng, he began moving towards the broken-down building where he first met the Mystics.

"Creak!"

"Who\'s there?!" Hearing the door open abruptly, Mystic Four and the rest who had been hiding inside ever since they had escaped a moment ago got up in a hurry as if they were preparing to meet a great enemy.

"I\'m very disappointed with you all! To think that you would fall for such an obvious trap!"

Bei Feng sauntered in with a cold gleam in his eyes. Upon seeing the panicky group of startled birds, he shook his head heavily with disappointment.
