Urban Carefree Warrior God

Nine Gates Admiral, Zhennan Prince.

HISS!

Everyone sucked in a sharp breath of cold air. This prominent figure had actually come to Lingjin City. And now he was here…

From his brief conversation with Yan Haolin just now, it was apparent that Yan Haolin, who had rampaged through Lingjin City for over a decade, was finished this time. No one doubted Chen Yang's identity. He could even mobilize the Ten Thousand Martial Guards; what more proof was needed?

While some people silently cheered, others fretted. If Yan Haolin fell and this casino closed, where would they go to gamble in the future?

Compared to the curious onlookers, Yan Haolin was already scared out of his wits.

How had he provoked this prominent figure?

"Governor… Governor Sir, I… I…" Yan Haolin wanted to defend himself, but his trembling lips and teeth made it difficult for him to form a complete sentence.

"Governor Sir, your dagger." Ji Ping drew the dagger he carried and respectfully handed it to Chen Yang.

Taking the dagger, Chen Yang grabbed Yan Haolin and slammed him onto the table.

BANG.

Yan Haolin coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

"I… I was wrong! I was really wrong, please spare my life, Sir!" Yan Haolin yelled hysterically, ignoring the pain of his broken bones as he struggled to look at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang glanced at the sharp dagger in his hand and said coldly, "When you were torturing those young women, they pleaded with you over and over again, didn't they?"

"But did you ever let them go?!"

Chen Yang's voice rose by an octave, his tone so icy that the air for several meters around him seemed to plummet in temperature. Instantly, many felt as if they had been plunged into an ice cellar. A bone-chilling cold seeped into their marrow, threatening to freeze the very blood in their veins.

This… this was terrifying!

Many of them scrambled backward. At the same time, they finally understood why the Zhennan Prince had descended upon this place.

A man like him deserved to be sliced into a thousand pieces; even death by slow dismemberment would be too lenient! He was worse than a beast! Given his status and influence in Lingjin City, one could only imagine how many young women had suffered his abuse and persecution. The very thought caused a wave of fury to surge through the crowd.

As the old saying goes: retribution isn't missing, it's just late. Now that he had provoked the Zhennan Prince, he was as good as dead.

Faced with Chen Yang's question, Yan Haolin was rendered speechless. His face turned deathly pale, and he trembled, not daring to make another sound. He had spent a fortune to acquire each one of those women. Why would he let them go after a few pleas for mercy instead of thoroughly enjoying them? He wasn't that kind of person, and he wasn't capable of such an act.

But now… He'd never dreamed he would one day provoke the Zhennan Prince.

SHLICK!

Chen Yang grabbed his leg, dragged him closer, raised the dagger high, and plunged it between his legs.

SQUELCH…

The sound was followed by Yan Haolin's blood-curdling, inhuman scream.

"You… you…" Yan Haolin's eyes looked as if they would tear from their sockets. From now on, I'm going to be a eunuch? No, no! I can't accept this!

Chen Yang pulled the dagger free. He didn't speak, just stared at him.

There were some offenses for which a simple death was far too merciful.

Although gratified, the people in the crowd all shrank back, a lingering fear in their hearts.

Chen Yang turned to Ji Ping. "Are you interested in investigating this matter? This beast has been running rampant in Lingjin City for years. A deep investigation should unearth some bigger fish."

Ji Ping was startled at first, then a look of joy spread across his face. "I'll see it through to the end, Governor Sir! No matter who is backing this beast, I will bring them to justice!"

"Thank you, Governor Sir." He knew perfectly well that Chen Yang was deliberately giving him this opportunity to earn merit. Otherwise, why would a man who could solve this with a single word hand it off to him? If he handled this well, a commendation would be the least of it; he could very well be promoted into the ranks of the Military Generals. A Military General of the Ten Thousand Martial Guards… that title carried immense weight.

Chen Yang waved his hand. "If you run into any obstacles, just use my name."

"Yes, Governor Sir!" Ji Ping bowed. With Chen Yang's backing, it was like being handed an imperial mandate. He could steamroll his way forward, slaying any god or demon who dared block his path. Unconvinced? Fine! Go complain to the Zhennan Prince, if you have the guts. If not, then just accept your fate.

"Where are you headed next?" Chen Yang asked.

"Qiyun Road," Ji Ping replied. "We're following the river south. We'll be returning by water as well."

Chen Yang clapped him on the shoulder. "It won't be long before I'll be returning to Cangyun City myself. We'll meet up then."

"I've long heard tales of the Governor Sir's incredible capacity for alcohol. When we get back to Cangyun City, I must witness it for myself."

Chen Yang smiled. "Just don't be the first to chicken out."

The two men shared a laugh, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded.

After finishing his cigarette, Chen Yang tossed the dagger to Ji Ping. "I'll leave the cleanup to you."

"Oh, and I hear he has several other casinos. Raid them all."

"As you command!"

Under a sea of awestruck gazes, Chen Yang left the casino.

He was just about to head home when his phone rang. It was Qin Qiu.

"Chen Yang, where are you? Li Si is at the house, get back here quickly."

Chen Yang was speechless.

"Did you hear me?" Qin Qiu pressed.

"Uh…" Chen Yang quickly stammered, "Yes, I heard you! I'm on my way back now."

After hanging up, Chen Yang's face fell.

What the hell is this now?
