The leader on the other side, who had initially been quite aggressive, had toned down his demeanor considerably and even greeted the other side with a fist and palm salute.

"Young man, what's your name? Is there some misunderstanding between us? If there's anything you need from me, please don't hesitate to ask."

His underlings were also taken aback. When had they ever seen their boss speak so softly? If it were anyone else firing shots in their territory, they would have been kicked out by their boss long ago.

They came out with guns, but now everyone was doing the same thing, slinging their guns behind their backs. I chuckled when I heard what the bald leader on the other side said. It would be best if things could be resolved peacefully.

"Hand over that six-fingered girl behind you, the one we smuggled out of Anjia last night. Maybe we can actually become friends."

After I finished speaking, I just smiled and looked at the bald guy, who was getting really nervous under my gaze.

"Brothers, we are..."

He was about to announce his name when I interrupted him.

"Have you thought this through? You're a living devil now. The names you utter might die along with them. Your only way out is to hand them over quickly, or none of you will survive. I'm telling you, even if the Heavenly King himself came, you'd end up the same way."

The bald man was genuinely scared this time; they weren't exactly tough guys to begin with.

"Brother, we originally planned to find someone else to take on while we were with them, but this one was specifically requested. She was waiting for us here yesterday, and as soon as the girl arrived, she was taken away. I really don't know where she went."

I looked into his eyes and stared for a while to make sure he wasn't lying.

"So, you mean the person who connected you, or who came to pick you up?"

"The people who came to pick her up were a few Russians. Because the girl was unconscious when she arrived, they were very careful when they moved her, which looked quite strange. The person who met with us was a middleman from the border, someone we knew well."

I didn't say anything, I just looked at him.

"Oh, his name is Xiao Lingtong. He's a local bully in Heishan, but only somewhat well-known. I don't know why these Russians hired him to do this job."

The bald man's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at me, then he realized what he was saying and continued, but what he said sent a chill down my spine: Why send a nobody to do something so important? Just so they can silence him after the job is done.

I suddenly raised my hand and unleashed an invisible sword aura, annihilating the six-fingered attacker.

"Apart from him, everyone else involved is in your hands. You handle things as you see fit."

After that, I turned around and went back with my men. Baldy was a decent leader. Although he was terrified, he didn't kill the underlings who had kidnapped people. After all, he was the one who gave the order, and the underlings were just following orders.

However, he also chopped off one finger from each of them and sent them to live in the suburbs on the outskirts of the city. After all, he was afraid that if my people found out, he would have a hard time explaining himself.

As I led my men out, I explained things to Lingqian and Lao Ba.

"Lingqian, Lao Ba, you two take some men to the underground casino and hang out with Crazy Donkey for a few days. You two are no match for what I'm about to do, and taking you along will only be a burden."

Although the two were unwilling, they knew I was telling the truth, and in the end they dejectedly agreed and followed the mad donkey back to the underground casino.
