After a brief silence, Qin Che looked up and stared intently at everyone. "Xue Lei is dead. What are your plans now?"

"Sir, we will do as you say!"

"Yes, we'll do whatever you say."

"Since we've already killed them all, we're going to fight the Fourth Division to the death!"

Qin Che thought about it and realized that given the current situation, a new plan was indeed needed. First, he needed to see the Sand Rat. The Fourth Division had disregarded the agreement and conducted a brutal search, resulting in so many deaths. How would the Sand Rat retaliate? He also needed to cooperate.

Based on the intelligence currently available, this expanded search, which has affected a disturbance in the underworld, stems from a fierce political struggle at the top.

Originally, according to Xue Lei's words, the Fourth Division would not dare to attack the direct descendants of the Sand Rat.

Clearly, something happened in District 1 that emboldened the military.

Could it be that the gerbils' negotiations with someone else broke down? The Fourth Division only made a completely new response after receiving orders.

However, Black Street still has its political value. The officials of the First District are reluctant to completely abandon Black Street, but rather use it as a reshuffle to reshape Black Street's ecological status in Sand Castle.

Qin Che frowned and pondered for a long time.

The only result of the gerbil's breakdown in negotiations was that it forced him to move closer to him.

That huge sum of money, along with his extraordinary status, will make him a new ally of the underworld. In this light, Gerald still has leverage.

Currently, the situation is somewhat tense.

To turn the tide, he must temporarily seize some power and stir up another upheaval in the underworld, ideally alarming the high-ranking officials of the First District.

At the very least, the black market should demonstrate its inherent value, rendering the banning bill a mere scrap of paper. In that case, someone will inevitably align themselves with the black market, and the situation will change.

—Then… let’s fight violence with violence!
