The lookout, Shuo Gu, quickly spotted them and turned to walk towards the casino entrance. Seeing Mad Bull and Chicken Essence pointing guns at the casino staff, he quickly said:
"Someone's here. Are you all ready?"
Upon hearing this, Mad Bull rushed to the accounting office, only to find the judge wielding a sledgehammer and smashing the safe wildly, while the Hung Hing underling lay on the ground next to him, covered in bruises and too afraid to move.
"Big brother, someone's coming!"
The judge was furious. He never expected that his attempt to seize Chen Haonan's place would be so unsuccessful. Not only were there few people inside, but he couldn't even open the safe.
If we can't steal the money, let alone running away with it, even offering Xu Lang a pledge of loyalty wouldn't be enough!
"Go to the door and help me with the bone-shrinking technique. I'll see if I can open this cabinet!"
Upon hearing this, Mad Bull had no choice but to turn around and run towards the casino entrance.
At this moment, Chan Ho-nam, along with Bao Pi, Chao Pi, and Tai Tin-yi, arrived at the casino entrance. Seeing Suo Gu standing there, Chan Ho-nam couldn't help but look puzzled:
"Who are you? Where are Ah Wei and Ah Guang?"
Before Suogu could speak, Baopi's eyes, which were indeed very sharp, immediately spotted the two Hung Hing henchmen lying in the darkness to the side, and his expression changed instantly:
"Brother Nan, be careful!"
As he spoke, Baopi reached for his gun at his waist.
Chen Haonan didn't see the two knocked-out henchmen. When he heard Bao Pi tell him to be careful, he instinctively reached for his gun.
Upon seeing this, Suo Gu immediately drew his pistol and pointed it at Chen Haonan.
Boom!
Two gunshots rang out, and Chan Ho-nam was shot in the chest on the spot, falling backwards.
At this moment, Baopi had already pulled out the gun. Seeing that Chen Haonan had been shot, he quickly raised his hand and struck Suogu.
Bao Pi Chao Pi and Da Tian Er, who were standing nearby, had also reacted and immediately drew their guns and fired at Suo Gu.
Bang, bang, bang, bang…
Both sides drew their guns and fired wildly. In an instant, Suo Gu was shot seven or eight times, while Bao Pi was shot twice. The bullets all hit his lower abdomen, so he wouldn't die immediately. Chen Haonan, who was closest to Suo Gu, was shot twice near his heart and was now only able to exhale but not inhale.
Just then, Mad Bull ran to the door and heard gunshots outside. He immediately rushed out, picked up his submachine gun, and opened fire.
Da da da……
Bao Pi was clutching his lower abdomen when he was suddenly sprayed with bullets by the charging bull. Most of the bullets hit his body, leaving him riddled with holes.
Seeing this, Suopi and Datian scrambled to hide behind a nearby trash can, firing wildly at Mad Bull while simultaneously calling for backup.
"Chicken, come quick! Someone's robbing our gambling den! Bao Pi and Brother Nan have been beaten to death!"
"what!"
Chicken was drinking at a nightclub when he heard the news. He was so shocked that he was completely sober and quickly led a group of his trusted henchmen to run towards the alley where the gambling den was located.
Chicken Essence and Mad Bull were closest to the door. Upon hearing the gunshot, they rushed to the door, only to find that Shrink Bone was already dead. Enraged, they gritted their teeth and opened fire on the trash can where Suo Pi and Da Tian Er were hiding.
bang bang...
Bullets immediately started exploding like popping beans, sending sparks flying from the trash can. Su Pi and Da Tian Er didn't dare to look up at this moment, lying on the ground trembling like leaves.
At this moment, Chicken had already run over with a group of his trusted henchmen. As soon as they saw someone firing a gun at the entrance of the gambling den, they knew that this must be the people who robbed the gambling den, and they immediately opened fire on the judge and his men.
Although Chicken and his group were armed with pistols and their firepower was far inferior to that of the judge and his men, they had the advantage of numbers. With so many people firing their own shots, the bullets rained down on the judge and his men.
Chicken Essence was charging towards Su Pi and his group with his gun, not expecting them to arrive so quickly. He couldn't dodge in time and was hit by several bullets, falling to the ground.
"Chicken bouillon!"
When Mad Bull saw that Chicken Essence was also dead, he was so enraged that he picked up his submachine gun and swept it towards Chicken and the others at the alley entrance.
Da da da……
He had just fired a burst of bullets, but unexpectedly, he had already run out of ammo. He then took out a magazine from his waist and was about to reload when Suopi and Datian, who had been hiding behind the trash can, saw that he had run out of bullets and quickly raised their hands to shoot at him.
bang bang...
After three gunshots, Mad Bull also fell to the ground.
At this moment, the gamblers inside the gambling den also heard the gunshots and screamed as they lay down on the ground, fearing they would be accidentally hit by bullets.
The judge, who was smashing the safe with a sledgehammer, heard the gunshot and, without paying any attention to the broken safe, rushed out with his shotgun. When he got to the door, he found that Mad Bull and the other two were already dead. He was furious and started shooting at Suo Pi and Da Tian Er near the trash can.
Boom! Boom boom...
Although this shotgun has a short firing range, it is best suited for thugs in alleys like this, as the steel balls and iron pellets in the bullets are fired like a rain of pear blossoms.
In the blink of an eye, three shots were fired, and Su Pi and Da Tian Er were both hit and fell to the ground, never to get up again.
Seeing this, the pheasant and his gang at the alley entrance quickly fired at the judge inside the alley, but the judge's reaction and speed far surpassed those of Mad Bull and his two companions. He dodged behind a trash can and then threw a grenade directly towards the alley entrance.
boom!
The grenade exploded, instantly sending the group of henchmen at the alley entrance screaming and howling.
Chapter 168 Preparing to Swallow Hung Hing, Wolverine Assassinates Chiang Tin Yang
Taking advantage of the moment when the grenade exploded and the chickens' henchmen scattered, the judge rushed over and fired several shots with a shotgun.
Shotguns are well-suited for close-quarters combat in confined spaces like alleyways. Once the steel balls and iron pellets are fired, many Hung Hing henchmen will be injured. Judge, having already lost three henchmen—Mad Bull Chicken Essence and Shrinking Bones—is now enraged and recklessly fires with his shotgun, forcing Chicken and his men to retreat and take cover.
While they were all scattering and unable to be surrounded, the judge opened the door of the van at the alley entrance, stepped on the gas, and sped away, quickly passing through the alley and leaving Chicken and the others behind.
He sped away and quickly escaped Causeway Bay. Once he was safe, he stopped the car, looked back in the direction of Causeway Bay, and was overcome with grief. He pounded the steering wheel with his fist and roared.
Mad Bull Chicken Essence and his three little brothers, Shrinking Bones, all followed him. They had some skills, but not many. However, the judge truly treated them as brothers. Now, they are all dead.
After shouting a few times in the van, the judge felt his suppressed grief and indignation subside slightly. After pondering for a long time, he decided to return to Xu Lang's side.
Now that his underlings are all dead and he didn't gain anything from robbing the casino, if he doesn't return to Xu Lang's side soon, he'll probably have nowhere to go in Hong Kong.
With that thought in mind, the judge stepped on the gas and sped toward the East Star General Hall.
Here, Xu Lang was waiting for news from the judge when suddenly a clear system notification sounded in his mind:
"Congratulations, host! The mission: 'Find out the mastermind behind this gambling den robbery as soon as possible, recruit them, and make them produce a pledge of allegiance,' has been completed!"
"Congratulations, host! You have received a reward for completing this mission: - One Loyalty Card!"
Upon hearing the system's notification, Xu Lang's heart stirred.
He turned his gaze to the system space and saw a loyalty card lying there quietly.
Little did they know what kind of pledge of allegiance the judges were presenting!
As he was thinking, Hong Wen suddenly came to report:
"Big Brother, the judge came back alone. His three underlings are all dead, but his indictment is quite substantial. Chan Ho-nam, Bao Pi, and Tai Tin Yee are all dead!"
Upon hearing Hong Wentong's words, Xu Lang's heart skipped a beat.
Unexpectedly, the judge went to Causeway Bay this time and killed Chan Ho-nam, as well as Tai Tin Yee and several others!
This pledge of allegiance is indeed quite weighty!
At that moment, the judge strode in, his face looking extremely grim.
After entering the room, he glanced at Xu Lang and suddenly knelt down in front of Xu Lang with a thud.
The judge was usually arrogant and violent, but after the deaths of Mad Bull and others, he felt he had no way out. So, in front of Xu Lang, he completely abandoned his previous pride and arrogance and actually knelt down.
"Brother Lang, all my brothers are dead..."
Xu Lang nodded:
"I already know, your pledge of allegiance carries significant weight! Don't worry, although Mad Bull and the others haven't officially joined Dongxing yet, I'll give them the same settling-in allowance as official brothers!"
Hearing Xu Lang's words, the judge felt a warmth in his heart.
It's better to have a powerful backer. If they were just a few people fighting alone, and they lost their brothers to a tough guy like Chan Ho-nam, they probably wouldn't get any resettlement allowance, and no one would care about them. They would just wish they were all dead!
Thinking of this, the judge said sincerely:
"Thank you, Brother Lang. I thank Dongxing on behalf of Kuangniu and the others!"
Before Xu Lang could speak, he suddenly saw a white light appear above the judge's head.
He then checked the loyalty checker and found that the judge's loyalty to him was currently fifty percent.
In other words, the judge had absolutely no loyalty to Xu Lang before, and even planned to rob Chen Haonan and run away to Southeast Asia with the money, rather than condescend to acknowledge Xu Lang as his elder brother.
Xu Lang's statement that he would provide Mad Bull Chicken Essence, Shrinking Bone, and the other two with a settlement allowance equivalent to that of Dongxing's official underlings has surprisingly made even the cold-hearted madman Judge feel a degree of loyalty and respect for Xu Lang.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang secretly took out the Loyalty Card from the system space and used it directly on the judge.
As the loyalty card was used on the judge, a white light instantly emanated from his head. When he looked at Xu Lang again, there was no trace of arrogance in his eyes; instead, they were filled with respect and loyalty!
Xu Lang then used the loyalty checker to check again and found that the judge's loyalty to him had reached 100%!
Such loyalty would make a judge willing to take a bullet for Xu Lang and die for him!
"Brother Lang!"
The judge looked at Xu Lang, his eyes filled with loyalty and respect, and sincerely said:
"From now on, my life belongs to you! However, Mad Bull and the others cannot have died in vain. I must kill Chicken and the others to avenge these little brothers!"
"It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!"
Xu Lang smiled faintly and said:
"However, you took down so many of Chan Ho-nam's men in one fell swoop, and it was because you were robbing a casino. If this gets out, it won't be good for public opinion on Tung Sing's side, so I've decided to let you go and rest with Lee Ho for a couple of days!"
"As for Hung Hing, I will definitely take action next. When that happens, I will bring you back. Don't worry, I won't make you wait ten years for revenge!"
Upon hearing Xu Lang's words, the judge nodded and said:
"Okay! I'll listen to you, big brother!"
……
Meanwhile, Chicken and the others were so frightened by the judge's barrage of questions that they all fled. After the judge left, they didn't dare to chase after him. Instead, they turned around and rushed to the casino entrance, only to find that Chan Ho-nam, Banana Peel, and Tai Tin Yee were all dead there.
The pheasant was filled with grief and indignation, and he hugged the corpses of several people and cried bitterly.
