Chapter 1348: Chapter 1348: Nightclub Brawl

Gu Fan felt that every time he entered a nightclub, it was all about the noisy music combined with the boiling crowd. Under the DJ’s lead, everyone’s passion was stirred up, their worries forgotten, as they hopped and danced around, letting loose to their heart’s content.

Of course, there were also some people who came to the club with impure intentions. Gu Fan had seen news about women getting drunk at nightclubs and then being taken advantage of.

The nightclubs in Dark City were particularly mixed with all sorts—men built like brutes, and women in heavy makeup, gyrating their bodies in dance, creating a sense that all was in chaos for Gu Fan.

Muscleman ordered a few bottles, and everyone drank casually while bouncing around to get a feel for the atmosphere and pass the time.

Resources were scarce in Dark City, all imported from the outside and both the supply and sales channels were controlled by Organization X—essentially, Organization X held the reins over everything here.

Beneath Dark City lay a vast gold mine. To survive in Dark City, one had to descend and mine for gold. After extracting the gold, a portion had to be handed over to Organization X, while the rest could be kept for themselves to purchase the goods here, which were even more expensive than gold.

Looking at the drink in his hand, Gu Fan was somewhat worried—this had been obtained by Muscleman in exchange for gold bars. The cost seemed exorbitant.

Muscleman assured it was no problem, as much of their materials were brought in by Ouyang Jin. They either used these materials themselves or sold them, so while they didn’t lack gold, they were short on goods.

Knowing this, Gu Fan let go of his concerns, thinking that since they were here, of course, they were prepared.

The tall man also mentioned that in Dark City, the philosophy was to drink when there was wine and not worry about providing for a family or saving money.

"Living in the moment, huh?" Gu Fan looked at his drink and smiled; this was a lifestyle many people desired.

Just then, the crowd erupted into loud cheers as if something else had come along to rouse everyone’s excitement. Gu Fan and the others immediately turned to look.

A few women clad in distinctively sexy attire, their makeup slightly garish, were winding around a steel pole on stage.

The entire place focused on those women. As the crowd jumped and whistled, the excitement grew, and it seemed like their bodies couldn’t stop.

Gu Fan didn’t think much of it and took a sip of his drink, looking for a place to rest when he noticed a bespectacled man staring spellbound at a woman twisting on stage.

"Brother, you’re so focused... could it be..." Before Gu Fan could finish his sentence, he saw a group of men climb to the edge of the stage, reaching out to touch the dancing women, their smiles wicked.

The dancers’ rhythm was disrupted as they tried to dodge, but one inadvertently got caught by the ankle, panicked, and screamed.

"Come on, beautiful, let’s have fun together." The jerks pulled at the woman forcefully, their smiles filled with malice.

The woman struggled, but how could she overpower those jerks? She was quickly pulled from the stage and surrounded by them.

Seeing this, the bespectacled man charged forward, his companions unable to hold him back.

"Could it be, their relation..." Gu Fan had a premonition that the night wouldn’t end peacefully.

The bespectacled man kicked one jerk away, punched another back, and then grabbed the woman’s hand, quickly escaping the area.

"Daring to hit me, you’re looking for death." Of course, those jerks wouldn’t let it go and chased after them.

With the enemy overwhelming in numbers, the man with glasses couldn’t escape and could only flail his fists, resulting in the opponents knocking him down in a few moves.

The tall guy was the most loyal, immediately rushing over to beg for the other side’s forgiveness, only to be caught as well and beaten up alongside the first guy.

Everyone had been having a great time, but now the fight completely ruined the atmosphere; the music stopped, the lights went out, and all you could hear were the sounds of the beating.

Gu Fan saw the crowd scattering and also hid in a corner, thinking it was just a fight, as long as nobody died, it should be fine.

However, muscleman looked very anxious, "What to do, what to do, too impulsive."

Gu Fan was baffled, "You seem really worried, but having been in Dark City for so long, these kinds of fights must happen all the time, right?"

"It’s precisely because it happens so often that I’m worried. Every day, because of fights, some people..." muscleman made a throat-slitting gesture, immediately turning Gu Fan’s face pale with horror, "No way, fights can kill you here? Is that kind of wild behavior really allowed in this place?"

"Please, this is Dark City, what kind of people do you think come here? You know it as well as I do." Muscleman said with a sense of defeat, only able to watch helplessly as his companions fell to the ground, incapable of doing anything.

Gu Fan’s eyebrows were tightly knit, seeing the situation, if he didn’t intervene soon, the man with glasses and the tall guy were going to get beaten to death.

"I want to ask, if I blow my cover and drag you all down, will you hate me?" Gu Fan’s seemingly casual words carried with them a rush of determination.

Muscleman stared at Gu Fan, seemingly realizing what Gu Fan intended to do—he was going to help out.

"They’re nearly getting beaten to death, how much worse could it possibly get for them because of you?" Muscleman’s words were like a reassurance, and that was all that was needed.

Gu Fan charged straight into the fray and with a few punches and kicks had knocked down two men, and then with an over-the-shoulder throw, flipped another.

The gangsters saw Gu Fan’s skill was formidable and quickly converged on him, thinking that with their numbers, they would surely win.

With Gu Fan’s current strength, defeating these people would not be at all difficult, but he couldn’t appear to be too strong, or it might raise suspicions.

Therefore, Gu Fan deliberately did not use Vajra Body Protection, taking some hits to make the act look more realistic.

As the sides exchanged blows, with every two Gu Fan took down, he would be struck by others, seemingly disoriented by the multitude of attackers, which made it seem like he alone couldn’t defeat so many.

"Damn, didn’t expect that, pretty tough," muscleman exclaimed, seeing Gu Fan’s impressive skills taking on several men at once, prompting a belief that they had a chance to win—and so muscleman charged out to help.

The man with glasses and the tall guy caught their breath and then got up to join in assisting Gu Fan.

"Well done!" With Gu Fan fighting against seven or eight, putting on a show of extreme difficulty and getting knocked down twice, now with reinforcements, the pressure eased, and he quickly struck back.

Following the chaotic battle, both sides sustained various degrees of injury, lying on the ground groaning.

Gu Fan knelt on the ground, his face a mess of bruises, feeling very sore and rather aggrieved inside. If it weren’t for the need to maintain his pretense, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.

Just then, a cold voice came, "You dare to fight on my turf, do you have a death wish?"
