Chapter 598: Chapter 579: Go Die

Pshht...

In the crowd, a spurt of fresh blood burst forth, followed by yet another head hitting the ground. Instantly, a wave of panic erupted among the masses. Everyone scattered. Hei Hu urgently yelled, "Don’t run, don’t run; scattering will only make it easier to be killed!"

As soon as Hei Hu shouted this, those scattered individuals immediately calmed down. Each grasping a cleaver, they tightly huddled back-to-back, forming a ring, then watched alertly, fearing that Ye Chen might appear again without warning. Hei Hu held his carbine, his gaze vigilant as he scanned the surroundings, deliberately positioning a little brother behind himself for protection.

However, within mere seconds, another head fell to the ground. There wasn’t outward panic among the crowd; their hearts simply trembled in fear.

"Wow, it’s happened again!" Suddenly, there was tumult in the crowd.

When the third head hit the ground, those individuals could no longer heed Hei Hu’s words. They scattered in a mad dash. Facing an enemy in plain sight, they might have had the courage to fight, but facing an unseen, intangible foe, they succumbed to fear and retreated.

Once the crowd dispersed, Hei Hu immediately realized a critical mistake had been made that day: he had grossly underestimated Ye Chen’s strength. With all his might, Hei Hu roared, "Ye Chen, if you’re a man, come out and face me one-on-one!"

"Do you want to go one-on-one with me?" Ye Chen’s figure suddenly appeared behind Hei Hu, his hand holding a blood-stained steel knife, an evil smile on his face, "Are you sure you want a one-on-one fight with me?"

Confronted with Ye Chen’s question, it was as though someone was asking oneself, "Do you want to go to Hell? Are you sure you want to go to Hell?"

Hei Hu noticed a change in Ye Chen’s aura. He dared not go head-to-head with Ye Chen; he decided to strike first, absolutely forgoing any notions of fairness. Hei Hu took a deep breath and then bellowed, "Ye Chen, go to Hell!"

Ratatat...

Without hesitation, Hei Hu pulled the trigger of the carbine in his hand, and the rifle fired off a hail of bullets, which unhesitatingly pierced through the branches and leaves of the trees behind Ye Chen. However, Ye Chen remained firmly in place, as if he were a statue, hooking up a smile, "Do you want to kill me? Do you realize how ridiculous you are before me? You’re just a mortal, yet you think you can slay a god?!"

"No, no, you’re a ghost!" Hei Hu’s courage shattered instantaneously, for he was horrified to discover that bullets seemed to pass through Ye Chen’s body, leaving him utterly unharmed. This shock stunned Hei Hu; he was scared senseless, even terrified. He became panicked, nearly sensing waves of dread emanating from within him. Moreover, this dread was taking control of his body, rendering him immobile.

Hei Hu wanted to run but was horrified to find his legs wouldn’t move. The fear in his heart controlled his entire body, his nerves.

"Was it worth it to serve the Japanese?" Ye Chen said with a hooked smile.

"No, it wasn’t!" Hei Hu quickly shook his head, saying, "Ye Chen, no, Ye Yingxiong, let me go, I swear I won’t serve the Japanese ever again!"

"It’s too late!" Ye Chen walked over, holding the machete, step by step, his footsteps heavy on the ground.

Hei Hu almost burst into tears, but he couldn’t cry. Trembling, he stood there, somewhat at a loss, his mouth endlessly pleading for mercy, but Ye Chen didn’t grant him the chance. Approaching Hei Hu, he revealed an exceedingly indifferent smile and said, "In your next life, make sure not to be someone with Japanese blood!"

Saying this, Ye Chen swiftly raised his steel knife, then ferociously brought it down, severing Hei Hu’s head in one clean stroke. Ye Chen immediately lifted Hei Hu’s head, brandishing it high, "Hei Hu is dead, all of you surrender quickly!"

"What, Hei Hu is dead?"

"Damn, no way, Hei Hu is actually dead, what do we do?"

"Saving our lives is crucial, let’s run for it!"

The crowd became instantly chaotic. Forget the Black Bear Gang and the Crocodile Gang, even members of the Fierce Tiger Gang started to flee, everyone frantically scampering away. The Heavenly Reversal Gang and the Da Dao Team who were at a disadvantage initially, promptly pursued their victory. They quickly reversed their fortunes.

The death of Hei Hu placed a temporary full stop to this turbulent gang war. The Sect Leader of the Black Bear Gang was dead, the Sect Leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang was dead, and most of the ten plus assassins sent by the Japanese to aid the Fierce Tiger Gang had been wiped out, with only two managing to escape under the cover of darkness.

That night, the Da Dao Team and the Heavenly Reversal Gang chased relentlessly, thoroughly exterminating any remnants of the Fierce Tiger Gang while the Black Bear Gang and the Crocodile Gang had long vanished without a trace. It was said that the boss of the Crocodile Gang, taking advantage of the night, hurriedly boarded a ship with a group of little brothers and left Bai City.

After a night of busyness, the three northeastern provinces were essentially occupied by the Heavenly Reversal Gang and the Da Dao Team, the two gangs unprecedently united. Xiao Ma traveled overnight, back and forth between Jilin and Liao Ning, with groups of little brothers setting off from Liao Ning and traveling hundreds of kilometers to Jilin. Then they stationed themselves there. The Heavenly Reversal Gang, on the other hand, wasn’t busy occupying territory but started to count the number of people. All returned to the Jinzhou headquarters.

As everyone left the desolate wilderness, some vultures flew in, and some carnivorous animals began to move stealthily, devouring the bloody scene, enjoying a free feast. All the bodies were from the Fierce Tiger Gang and the other two gangs. The bodies of the brothers from the Heavenly Reversal Gang and the Da Dao Team had all been taken away.

While the animals fought over the spoils, several Black-clothed Men suddenly darted out from the jungle, found the remains of Hei Hu, stuffed them into a bag, and quickly left the scene.

Jinzhou headquarters.

"Boss Ye, it’s fantastic!" Despite sustaining several knife wounds, Xiao Ma was all right after receiving basic treatment. He urgently sought out Ye Chen, "Now the Fierce Tiger Gang has been completely cleared from the Three Eastern Provinces, from now on, this is our world!"

"That’s not necessarily the case," Ye Chen said with a faint smile.

"Why not?" Little Ma was taken aback.

"The Japanese won’t just let it go that easily!" Ye Chen, with a cigarette in his mouth, sat quietly on the sofa.

"Heh, Japan is thousands of miles away; they can’t just drop their people onto our turf like that, right?" Little Ma wasn’t worried about the Japanese. If the Japanese wanted to stir trouble in the Northeast, they would have to do so by controlling the local gangs. Now there are only a few gangs left in the Northeast, and they are all very unified and tight-knit. The traitorous Crocodile Gang and the Black Bear Gang have been cleaned up, it’s impossible for the Japanese to continue their mischief in the three northeastern provinces.

"The Japanese have many tricks up their sleeves, we need to be cautious!" Ye Chen took another puff of his cigarette.

"That’s true!" Little Ma nodded eagerly. Then he said, "Boss Ye, we’re holding a celebration tonight in Dalian, will you come?"

"Sure!" Ye Chen nodded, agreeing to the invitation.

"Alright, I’ll be off then, I have to notify the others!" Little Ma came in a hurry and left in a hurry too.

In Jinzhou, at the headquarters of Heavenly Reversal Gang, Ye Chen sat alone in the hall. The Four Heavenly Kings were organizing their little brothers at the door. So many little brothers had died, and they needed to replenish their ranks. Therefore, the Four Heavenly Kings began recruiting new little brothers directly in the Northeast, but the Heavenly Reversal Gang had yet to make a name for itself in the Northeast, being less famous compared to the Da Dao Team and some other gangs.

As such, it was considerably difficult to recruit people of good quality in the Northeast. True to the principle of preferring a shortage to an excess of unworthy men, the Four Heavenly Kings meticulously selected their recruits and found that most were insufficient. The number that made the cut was small, but it was certainly better than nothing. Many came for the generous benefits offered by the Heavenly Reversal Gang, with the promise of a monthly salary and even a pension. This was a very attractive proposition for the drifters in society.

The next night, Ye Chen flew to Dalian.

At a five-star hotel in Dalian, a group of men in black suits, all of similar height, donned with stripes on their ties, stood at the entrance. As soon as they saw Ye Chen arrive, they immediately bowed and said, "Welcome, Boss Ye!"

"Boss Ye!" Hearing the voice, Little Ma rushed out to greet him, accompanied by leaders from several other gangs. As soon as everyone saw Ye Chen, they all showed obsequious smiles, smiles even happier than if they had seen five million.

"Gentlemen, it’s a pleasure!" Ye Chen wasn’t dressed as formally as the others, wearing the attire of Black Water Security Company instead. However, no one had any complaints about Ye Chen’s attire. Just having Ye Chen there was a great honor, so each of them said with a smile, "A pleasure, indeed! It is our honor that Boss Ye has traveled so far to be here, an honor indeed!"

"Ha ha..." Whether it was flattery or bootlicking, at least it indicated that Ye Chen held a lofty position in their hearts.

Ye Chen took the seat of honor at the banquet. There were several dozen tables in the hall, with those of lower status seated closer to the entrance. In total, there were thirty-six tables, with ten people per table, so three hundred and sixty people in all. After Ye Chen took his seat, the others followed suit.

When the banquet began, as the host and boss, Ye Chen had to set an example. He stood up with his glass in hand.

The sound of shuffling... everyone stood up, each raising their glass, and Ye Chen said with a smile, "Gentlemen, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang, sons and daughters of the Chinese nation. I believe that as long as we agree on what is fundamentally right and wrong, we can speak plainly. We may fight amongst ourselves, we may kill each other, but we must never serve the Japanese!"

"Roar..." The crowd bellowed their response.

"This first drink, in my name, I, Ye Chen, swear that in this lifetime, I will never serve the Japanese!" Ye Chen immediately lifted his glass and downed it in one gulp. The crowd shouted, "We will never serve the Japanese!"

No one hesitated; all tilted their heads back and drank.

"To this second drink!" Ye Chen said with a light smile, "Unity is strength, united against all outsiders."

"Unity is strength, united against all outsiders!" The crowd shouted in unison.

Once again, everyone tipped their heads back and finished their second drink, not a drop was left. Ye Chen held up the third glass and said, "This third drink is a hope that all the brothers here will not kill each other in the future. Let’s hope we’ll never be enemies."

"Not be enemies!" The crowd consumed their third drink.

After three rounds of drinks, some were slightly tipsy, and people began to eat. The lively banquet commenced with the end of the toasts. The atmosphere became exceptionally lively as everyone discussed the situation in the Northeast and even engaged in enthusiastic conversations about the extraordinarily intense battle from two days ago. They felt pity for the Black Bear Gang and the Crocodile Gang. They had sided with the Japanese, so in the end, they met such a tragic fate.

It was an extraordinarily lively party, celebrating the victory of the previous night, with a moment of silence for those who had died and offering blessings for the living. When the banquet ended, Ye Chen raised his glass and said, "Brothers, a moment of silence for the deceased brothers!"

Everyone held their glass with a solemn expression. After three minutes of silence, each person poured the liquor in their glass onto the ground.

After Ye Chen left, the banquet ended. He told everyone that no matter how well they lived, they must not forget those brothers who had died; it was their sacrifice that laid the foundation for the gang’s development.
