Chapter 19 - Slaughter

They quickly rushed towards the group and began their slaughter.

They unsheathed their sword and didn't show any mercy as they killed all the guards in a matter of seconds.

The guards couldn't even shout a word before they were killed. All they had were eyes full of shock looking towards the black-robed group before dying. 

Luis stood coldly as he observed the scene, watching the last few gang members fall.

"Go inside. Leave no member of Anyu Gang Alive," Luis commanded as he walked into the gambling house.

The others also quickly followed and went inside the gambling house, continuing their slaughter. 

Luis watched all this with cold eyes. In his hand was a member of the Anyu Gang. The man couldn't do anything but see all his teammates getting slaughtered. 

He was trembling with fear, thinking it would be his turn next. 

Arthur and others slaughtered every member of Anyu Gang, leaving only the gamblers, who were given a chance to escape.

Arthur approached Luis with fury and pointed towards one of the walls.

"Boss, look at that."

Luis turned to see in the pointed direction. There was his portrait with a knife inserted in the middle of the face.

All the others saw this and were filled with anger.

"This Anyu gang deserves to be destroyed." Arthur said as he took out the knife inserted in Luis Portrait.

"How dare they disrespect boss?"

"..."

They were very angry at the Anyu Gang. Previously, they only followed the command of Luis. Now that Anyu Gang disrespected their young master, they have a genuine reason to destroy it.

Luis watched silently as they called him boss. He had previously instructed them to call him boss in this world. 

The man alive was trembling in his hand; it turned out that the man who caught him is the same person who killed everyone naked.

"Sir, please spare my life. I swear, I'll never do anything wrong again!"

As the man begged for mercy, Arthur and others stopped talking. They stared at the begging man.

"Don't worry. You won't die if you're useful." Luis released the man and reassured him.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you!" The man trembled and stood up, his voice full of gratitude.

"Tell me everything you know about the Anyu Gang. I want the locations of all their strongholds."

The man nodded. Without hesitation, he began to spill everything about Anyu Gang. He betrayed the organization without any second thoughts.

It turns out that there are 8 small strongholds of the Anyu gang around the city, with a mid-stage body-training warrior in charge. 

There are also 2 late-stage body-training warriors. The strongest in the realm of 8th-stage body-training warriors.

"The nearest stronghold is only five minutes away, sir."

The man added, hoping to further curry favor with Luis.

"And where's the money stored in this gambling house?" Luis then asked with his eyes narrowed.

"Sir, they are in the Treasury. It's deeper inside the house."

Luis nodded and, without further delay, led the group to the Treasury. Inside there were a lot of bronze and silver coins, with silver coins being the least.

He sent the man outside to wait. With a simple wave of his hand, he opened the vortex, sending all these coins into his room. He walked out of the Treasury calmly, as if nothing had happened.

"Now, go to the nearest stronghold and inform them that a group of black-robed people are slaughtering everyone in the gambling house." 

The man trembled when he heard this—what if he was killed by the irrational Dwarf Squad leader?

"Don't worry, we will follow you and secretly protect you," Luis reassured as he saw the worry in the man's face.

The man was relieved when he heard this. He was ready to become an informant and spread information to that dwarf.

This was how the previous scene was staged, with Man Ton rushing towards the gambling house, leaving behind the stronghold unguarded.

-----

The man was relieved when the Dwarf squad leader didn't kill him and directly rushed towards the gambling house.

He was smiling as he thought he would live. But suddenly his vision shifted, and he saw his body opposite him without any head.

His thought slowed down as his head crashed to his floor. In his final moment, he realized that he didn't really have any chance to survive. Everything they told was a lie.

Xiao Wei was watching all of this—the man being killed by a black-robed person with a sword. His face was expressionless, with no emotion shown in it.

'Everything is going wrong for me." Xiao Wei thought as the black-robed man approached him with the other 12 also appearing in sight.

'Well, a death would be more deserving for me. At least I don't have to survive with guilt every day. 

As the black-robed figure approached, Xiao Wei closed his eyes, ready to accept his fate. He had lived with guilt for too long. At least death would bring him peace.

But instead of a killing blow, the figure stopped in front of him and pulled back his hood.

"I didn't expect to see you in this situation, Xiao Wei." Luis shook his head and untied the rope of Xiao Wei.

This is an intelligent kid who can be taken under his command. It would be waste if he died.

"Sir, you arrived a little late; I was almost killed by that dwarf." Xiao Wei, after hearing the voice, recognized Luis and opened his eyes.

He then observed the other 12 robed men and looked back at Luis as if asking who they were.

"Everyone, this is Xiao Wei. I have taken him under my command," Luis smirked as he said this.

The 12 nodded without any questioning. But Xiao Wei was confused. When did he enter the command of this sir?

"Sir, I don't even know your name." Xiao Wei leaned closer and slowly whispered

"My name is Han Long. Just call me 'boss.'"

"Yes, boss," Xiao Wei quickly repeated, falling into his new role.

"Go, leave no one alive here." Luis then turned to the knight group and commanded.

The 12 black-robed men's quickly disappeared into the stronghold, ready to begin their hunt.

"They are my followers," Luis explained. "Their identities don't matter when they're under the robe."

Xiao Wei nodded as he stared at the place where the 12 black robe people disappeared.
