  When Gu Mang and gang arrived at the venue, they noticed that the place was filled with so much hostility and tension. It was as if a fight could break out among the two factions at any moment. It was probably because both sides had never been able to see eye to eye with each other so they wanted to let the other know who was boss.

  Peng Yan was surprised to be greeted with the arrival of Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang, who were wearing all black. The couple each had such overwhelming presences that others could not tell whose was stronger. Even though their faces were partially hidden under their masks, he could recognize them at a glance.

  Snapping out of his daze, Peng Yan immediately stepped forward and bowed his head at them. He greeted the couple first before greeting the rest of their party.

  While Qin Fang looked curiously in Responsive Dragon’s direction, Responsive Dragon’s face darkened even further when he saw the new arrivals. He had received Jiangsui’s message telling him to wait until his fifth brother arrived, so he was currently holding back. He, however, did not expect the other party’s backup to arrive first. Upon seeing that the newcomers did not look easy to beat, he sneered. “Aren’t you guys shameless? You outnumber us and yet you still called for backup?!”


  Qin Fang and He Yidu were speechless.

  Peng Yan, on the other hand, arrogantly retorted, “What? Can’t we do that? Do the same if you find it unfair!”


  “Just you wait until my fifth brother gets here! You’re be dead when he arrives!” shouted Responsive Dragon angrily as he pointed a finger at Peng Yan.

  Lu Chengzhou turned his gaze to Gu Mang in surprise.

  Red Flame had some intel on four of the five gods of Killer Alliance. As for the last member, they only knew his codename: God Ji. So when Responsive Dragon, who was third in the Killer Alliance, mentioned that his fifth brother would be coming, Lu Chengzhou figured it was God Ji.

  Of course, the same went for Qin Fang and He Yidu, who stiffly turned their heads toward Gu Mang and looked at her in shock.

  Responsive Dragon was still boasting away in the meantime. “My fifth brother alone can force you all onto your knees and call him ‘Daddy’!”


  Lu Chengzhou’s arrival had given Peng Yan a great confidence boost. With his arms crossed, he scoffed and spoke even more arrogantly than before. “Bring it on! Get your people here and we’ll see who’ll be the one calling whom ‘Daddy’!”


  The corner of Lu Qi’s lips twitched as he cast Peng Yan a look that read ‘Rest in peace, brother.’


  Gu Mang glanced at Peng Yan and massaged her temples for a bit before walking over toward Responsive Dragon. Her eyes were hidden under her cap.

  When Responsive Dragon first saw her, his brain instinctively labeled her as a highly dangerous person, so when he saw her approaching him, he faltered a little and even backed away from her.

  “Take your goods and men, and follow us.” Gu Mang poked the brim of her cap up with a finger, her voice low, hoarse, and somewhat cold.

  “Who the hell are you?!” retorted Responsive Dragon in bluff arrogance. “Don’t think that I’ll be scared of you just because we’re outnumbered! My fifth brother……”


  While he was speaking, Gu Mang pulled out her phone and tapped on her phone screen before lifting it to show the screen to him.

  His voice trailed off when he saw their group chat and he even forgot to breathe. Two seconds later, he jumped back in shock as he stared wide-eyed at her. “Holy cow! Y-you’re Fifth Brother?!”


  Everyone else seemed just as shocked when they heard that……

  An eerie and awkward silence filled Red Flame’s black market headquarters. Everyone was seated facing each other, but nobody dared to break the silence.
