Chapter 700 700: Section 695 - One Dragon Pounces, One Dragon Arrives
The sun shone brightly, and the gangsters were holding a big meeting.
The ground was littered with defeated soldiers, leaving the current boss, "Mute" Kano, wanting to cry but unable to shed a tear.
Because of Teacher Shen's light remark "suppress," the "Hundred-Legs Gang" had decisively eliminated more than half of its core members on the spot, greatly damaging the gang's vital energy. Whether the "Hundred-Legs Gang" could continue to stabilize the situation as usual was now questionable. It was causing a huge headache and might require the power from Secretary Shen's hands.
"Huh? Shadow Wolf?"
Princess Lin Ziyu recognized the black giant wolf beside Shen Fei at first glance.
As a Dark Element magical beast proficient in ambush assassinations and protective vigilance, it's a natural expert.
She had never noticed such a Shadow Wolf hidden beside her opponent. Sensing its aura with the methods of a magician, it was at least Fourth Rank Human Order, which wasn't low at all.
Those gang members, who only knew how to fight fiercely, were no match for a Fourth Rank Human Order Shadow Wolf. Anyone with a bit of ability wouldn't choose to mix with society. The current dire situation wasn't too surprising -- it was simply asking for trouble.
"Chiu!"
The Pure Light Sparrow Xiao Jiu flew onto the Shadow Wolf's head and started pecking at its fur, pulling out tufts of black hair, making it painful to watch—it would soon be bald if it kept plucking at the same spot.
Bullied by a creature only the size of a fist, "Ah Mao" was too scared to even bare its teeth and was eagerly trying to turn into a shadow to escape.
If it couldn't provoke, could it not also avoid?
As if sensing the Shadow Wolf's intention to escape, a blinding flash of light burst forth. Many people present were caught off guard and had to cover their eyes. Only Teacher Shen, who guessed what Xiao Jiu had in mind, was prepared and wasn't affected much. The worst off were the gang members; hit straight on, they wailed, thinking they were about to be ruthlessly eliminated and met their doom!
A "Light Burst Flash" quenched the Shadow Wolf's attempt to flee.
Well!
It really couldn't escape!
Although the Shadow Wolf "Ah Mao" used to be a higher Rank than the Pure Light Sparrow Xiao Jiu, its Dark Element skills were countered by the other. Moreover, with a fierce father behind it, how could it not be aware of how it replaced the previous "Ah Mao"?
The ranks of these two magical beasts were now completely reversed; the Pure Light Sparrow was Sixth Rank, and the Shadow Wolf was Fourth Rank.
Now things really couldn't get any worse.
The Rank difference made completing its Dark Element skills useless, as the Little Bird had grown up copying others' homework all along.
Xiao Jiu was busily plucking the wolf's fur, oblivious to the intended use. Was it for building a nest, a hairstyle, or perhaps for a brush?
"Ah Mao" looked so pitiful that it was close to tears.
In the end, Teacher Shen stepped in, catching the Little Bird in her hand and rescuing the Shadow Wolf, which hurriedly turned into a shadow and vanished under her feet, refusing to show up again.
"Chiu, chiu!"
The Pure Light Sparrow happily rolled around in Shen Fei's hand.
It was more affectionate toward Teacher Shen than toward Her Royal Highness the Princess, second only to its dad, Chen Xiao'er.
"Secretary Shen, what's happening here?"
Bodyguards and hotel security who had arrived after hearing the news asked Shen Fei. They had never trusted these gang members too much.
Even though the Black Community had not done anything detrimental to the hotel before but instead helped gather quite a lot of supplies, it still hadn't made those responsible for security let down their guard.
Shen Fei said indifferently, "These guys wanted to revolt, so I put them down!"
Compared to the Patan Highlanders who lived in harsh mountainous environments, these people who mixed in society were just like good children.
Furthermore, hopeless societal dregs, even if they died, were as light as a feather, insignificant.
Originally, she had wanted to take this opportunity to lead the Black Community onto the right path, but it's a pity they were stubbornly misguided, and there was nothing more she could do.
No indulgence, no mercy, punishment for the present, execution for the future.
While their lives were spared, missing arms and legs meant they had no capital to stay in the underworld. If they still didn't get the message, then indeed, life would be worse than death.
"Understood!"
The bodyguards and hotel security looked at each other, knowing what to do next.
First, rescue the injured and bandage the wounds.
Otherwise, the bleeding alone could kill them.
Well, a few had already died, all of whom had lost their thighs. Once the artery was torn, the blood spurted like water from a faucet, and they passed away before they could receive treatment.
"Kano, it's time for your test. Don't delay the important tasks!"
Faced with the bloodshed, Shen Fei remained unmoved.
When she used to be a teacher, she often saw the dead in the Xingdu Kush Mountain Area, where bandits and civilians were a family.
A small scene like this was not worth making a fuss over.
"Ah? Yes! Yes! I'll handle it properly."
With the sudden burden of responsibility, "Mute" Kano's scalp tingled. Shen Fei had always been the decision-maker, and now it fell to him out of the blue, so he felt somewhat out of his depth.
```
Looking at those good-for-nothing things, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Among the people lying on the ground were some of the Eight Great Diamonds with whom he had a close relationship. Now they had all become disabled, their brotherly loyalty had been fed to the dogs, no, fed to the wolves.
It was fate, unavoidable.
The gang members, who lived for the day with their wine, had no spare wealth to regenerate their limbs, let alone continue their brutality as before. Surviving the vengeance of their enemies was already cause for gratitude.
The "Mute" Kano quickly waved at the several remaining Eight Great Diamonds and trusted followers who had never betrayed him, beginning to arrange for the aftermath.
These few men's positions were somewhat shaky, but at least they had not started off on the opposition. There was still some loyalty in that, and when it came to using people, one shouldn't sweat the small stuff. It was better to be somewhat oblivious at times.
After following Shen Fei for so many days, Kano had learned some tricks of the trade, though perhaps not thoroughly, and was bound to pay some 'tuition fees.'
But half the price of this 'tuition fee' was paid in human lives. It was not so easy for the Black Community to exit the Jianghu. Grievances and grudges were unavoidable. Once power was lost, death was near, and it was foreseeable that very few would survive in the future.
Those with treacherous minds had to be kicked out of the Hundred-Legs Gang without exception. The remaining members needed to be restructured, which would be labor-intensive, but with the support of the boss, the Hundred-Legs Gang still had a chance to rally.
However, this time, there would be far fewer people who secretly opposed his position as boss. After all, most of them were lying here now, and those who didn't come would be intimidated into being cautious with their thoughts.
Kano vaguely guessed at Shen Fei's intentions. Ultimately, living a life in the underworld was not sustainable, and the future probably entailed a gradual whitewashing and taking the legal path.
It wasn't until after Shen Fei finished speaking with Kano, the boss of the Hundred-Legs Gang, that Princess Lin Ziyu approached.
"Secretary Shen, where did you get your Shadow Wolf from?"
Although there were many Magical Beasts mixed in with the population on Blue Star, hiring a Magical Beast as a guard was no easy task.
For one thing, the visa review is strict and the cost of passing through the Dimensional Gate is exorbitant, and not all rational Magical Beasts wish to visit, let alone work on, Blue Star.
It seemed unlikely that the Northern Weapons Industry Group could be so wealthy as to provide Magical Beast guards for traveling employees.
"You know about the Shadow Wolf?"
Shen Fei was somewhat surprised that this "Yu Zilin" agent could recognize the species name of "Ah Mao."
"After all, Cangqiong Star is the homeland of Magical Beasts. As long as one is interested in learning about them, you'll inevitably know something."
Princess Lin Ziyu politely conversed with Shen Fei.
"'Ah Mao' was caught in the mountains by Chen Fei for me."
Shen Fei, as if suddenly remembering something, handed the Little Bird back to Princess Lin Ziyu. Xiao Jiu was a close-guard Chen Fei had assigned to her, equipped with the mighty Chiu Light Cannon.
In her words, catching the Shadow Wolf was like casually catching a small cat or dog, which would then promptly start its duty, even if it sounded a bit off, but in reality, that's exactly what had happened.
The Shadow Wolf "Ah Mao" would have had a tasty wolf stew for its fate if it hadn't been captured alive and forced to take the job in place of the previous "Ah Mao."
"In the mountains?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess wore a very peculiar expression.
Could it be that Blue Star's ecosystem has become as overrun with Magical Beasts as Cangqiong Star? That even a Magical Beast like the Shadow Wolf could be so easily caught?
Since the establishment of the Dimensional Gate connecting the two civilized stars, many Magical Beasts have been smuggled to Blue Star due to greed or carelessness, or simply abandoned when they're no longer wanted. Since many Magical Beasts have no natural predators in the food chain on Blue Star, once they escape into the wild, they breed unchecked like stepping out of the Three Realms, not confined by the five elements, and they become a disaster.
Aircrew Bases distributed around the globe not only need to monitor and clear out Mutants but also unruly Magical Beast Groups.
"Yes, in Blue Star's Xingdu Kush Mountain Area, a quite desolate place. It ate the previous 'Ah Mao,' and now it's working off its debt."
Shen Fei still missed that black dog who used to laze around daily but wouldn't fail her in a pinch, just had some bad luck. It was a faithful guard for home security, but it met its match with the Magical Beast Shadow Wolf.
No way around it, this "Ah Mao" was destined for lifelong servitude. Not all Magical Beasts are willing to sign that damned contract. Shadow Wolf: I don't want to! Chen Fei: No, you do! Xiao Jiu: Chiu!
"Roar…"
A high and lingering dragon's roar came from outside the hotel.
The roar of a Giant Dragon.
Everyone inside the upscale business hotel had their hair stand on end in unison.
Just a short while ago, a Metallic Dragon attacking from outside the hotel had truly vanished into thin air. Could it be that another Metallic Dragon had appeared, before one wave had settled, another arose?!
At that moment, quite a few people couldn't help but feel their scalps explode once again.
Another one?
This is going for lives!
A few moments later, there was another long cry of a dragon.
This time, the sound seemed to come from above the hotel.
Princess Lin Ziyu immediately lost the mood to continue chatting with Shen Fei, cradled the Little Bird in her hands, and as she rushed towards the elevator, said, "Xiao Jiu! Need your help again. "
At this point, the situation was that soldiers block foes, earth covers water, and dragon faces Chiu destruction; the tiny Pure Light Sparrow had become the biggest trump card in everyone's eyes.
The little creature tilted its head.
"Chiu?"
