Empire of Shadows

Wolf listened to the voice on the receiver and only reacted after a good while.

Blue Eyes, strictly speaking, was his cousin, a distant relative. There might be some blood relationship, but it was very thin.

He had thought of many possibilities, but the one thing he had not thought of was that this guy would die!

He rubbed his cheeks to wake himself up, then ran outside the door and asked loudly, “Where’s my damn stupid cousin?”

There were still some people in the room. They were either sleeping on the sofa or still playing pool. Of course, there were also some young people hugging girls and making out in the corners.

With Wolf’s shout, everyone stopped. They looked at me, I looked at you, and seemed not to have noticed Wolf’s ruthless, man-of-few-words cousin.

At this time, a young man said, “He said he was going out for a couple of drinks tonight…”

“Go to the bar and see if he’s there.” At this time, Wolf already felt a little uneasy. He originally thought that phone call was a prank, but now he vaguely felt that maybe that idiot was really dead.

The young man showed a look of difficulty, “He’s not at our bar. He went to the Venom’s bar. I don’t know that place.”

“F—k!” Wolf cursed.His loud voice alerted the gang’s number two in the next room. He walked in from outside the door, looked at Wolf, then at the others, and asked with some curiosity, “What’s wrong?”

“My cousin might be dead. Someone just called me and said that Bill had killed him, telling us to get out of the Port District…”

Before he could finish speaking, the number two calmly made a judgment, “It’s very likely they are trying to intensify the conflict between us. This might be a trap.”

Wolf put his hands on his hips for a while, then pulled open the door of his own room again and led the number two in.

The number two pushed up his glasses, “So what are you still troubled about?”

Wolf had a worried look on his face, “I’m worried they won’t just stop there. If they know there’s another group targeting us in the dark, they will be under a lot of pressure!”

“Everyone is under a lot of pressure now. We not only have to deal with the Red Dog Gang, but also guard against attacks from other small gangs. The key is that it’s very difficult for us to recruit enough men here.”

The number two also showed a look of finding it troublesome. He was originally a high school teacher in Fides.

One day, the police station suddenly called him, saying his child had been in a car accident. He rushed to the hospital in a hurry but was not able to see his child for the last time.

Even when they went to identify the body, they just gave him a hurried look and then let him leave there.

This made him feel that something was wrong. He spent a little money and got a piece of news from the coroner that the police hadn’t told him.

His child had died from a close-range shooting. Three shots had hit his chest, and his heart was torn. Death, along with blood, had drowned this young life.

Later he found out that his son had just been mistaken for someone else and was then dragged into an alley and shot dead.

It was actually quite normal for the wrong person to be caught in a gang feud. It was like everyone was walking forward, and suddenly someone shouted a name from behind.

The one who turns around is not necessarily the person whose name was called, it could also be the one watching the fun!

The other party was a locally well-known gang. They seemed to have determined that he had no way to take revenge, so they spent a little money and suppressed the case.

He had once tried to report these situations to the police station, but was severely beaten by the gang members who came later at the entrance of the police station. The other party even left a sentence, if he messed around again, they would kill him, and his family.

Just when he was a little desperate, he met Wolf. The Wolf Gang was expanding rapidly and needed all kinds of talents.

As a high school teacher, his level of education was definitely the top among this group of scumbags.

As a price, Wolf helped him take revenge. The gang that had killed his son and dozens of gang members had all gone underground to accompany his son.

This also made him very loyal to Wolf, and at the same time, he also understood a truth—

Only by mastering power can one master one’s own destiny!

In these years, he had also contributed a lot to the gang. The rapid development of the Wolf Gang was also directly related to him. He was now the number two figure in the Wolf Gang, with the nickname “Professor.”

Although he wasn’t a real professor, the people in the Wolf Gang all felt that he was more formidable than a real professor!

Now the Wolf Gang’s development in Golden Port had encountered a little problem. The locals were somewhat wary of outside gangs, and they couldn’t recruit many people.

Now they were developing at a rapid pace because they had come with several hundred people, but these people were not always there.

They would also die, would also leave, and now it was getting more and more chaotic. Firefights happened every day, and people fell every day.

If they couldn’t find a source to replenish the gang members, then they would only get weaker and weaker. On the contrary, the Red Dog Gang, after experiencing this period of firefights, seemed to be becoming more resilient.

The professor gave a suggestion, “We can recruit those illegal immigrants. As long as they have a mouthful to eat, they don’t care what you want them to do.”

Wolf hadn’t recruited illegal immigrants before. He was a little worried, but the current situation didn’t seem to allow him to continue considering.

He nodded, “I’ll handle this matter…” As he spoke, he paused, “What I meant just now was, can we use this incident to make everyone more united?”

“I don’t know how to express it, but you should understand what I mean!”

The professor nodded, “Let grief become the driving force for revenge. That’s what you want to express. I don’t think there’s any problem.”

He pondered for a moment, “Since a third force has joined in, then let’s make a move on them as soon as possible.”

“Tomorrow I’ll go contact the people from the other small gangs, so that even if they don’t stand with us, they won’t stand with them either.”

“At that time, we can use all our strength on the Red Dog Gang…” The professor’s expression became a little strange, “Who the f—k would a proper person choose this crappy name?”

“It sounds like a bunch of pimps!”

This was perhaps the reason why the Wolf Gang was hitting the Red Dog Gang so hard. One was a wolf, the other a dog. They were natural enemies!

A smile appeared on Wolf’s face, “It’s settled then!”

“But I’m a little curious, how will you persuade those people?”

The professor was very refined. He was a completely different type from these gangsters. He spoke unhurriedly, and his tone was very gentle, his enunciation very clear.

This was a habit he had formed naturally over many years as a teacher. If you didn’t force him to change it, he wouldn’t be able to change back.

And this also made him a well-deserved number two figure. Many young people were actually quite afraid of him. When they saw him, they would think of their high school teachers. These bad kids were always afraid of teachers, especially when this teacher was also the number two figure in a gang!

But the only thing that didn’t worry them so much was that now there would be no endless homework.

“I will tell them that if we fall, then there will be no one left to stop the expansion of the Red Dog Gang.”

“On the contrary, if we defeat the Red Dog Gang, we can give up enough territory and benefits for everyone to make money together.”

“Whether they believe it or not, they will stand on our side because human nature is selfish, Wolf.”

“The reason they can develop so quickly and healthily now is because we are standing at the forefront of this torrent.”

“Once we lose this banner, this wall, they will have to face the Red Dog Gang directly.”

“They don’t want us to win, nor do they want us to lose, but at this moment we are at a disadvantage, so they will definitely support us.”

“By the time we gain an advantage, they will want to regret it, but it will be too late!”

He tried his best to use a method that Wolf could understand to tell him, which greatly inspired Wolf, “Meeting you is truly God’s grace to me. I’ll leave this to you…”

After the two discussed the details, Wolf told his subordinates that his cousin had been killed and he wanted revenge!

The next morning, Bill woke up from his sleep.

Ever since he was assassinated that day, he had not gone back and had been living at the headquarters every day.

Besides sleeping not being very comfortable, there was actually nothing else bad about this place.

There were people everywhere, all with weapons. The most important thing was the sense of security. This was too important to him.

He hadn’t had time to ask someone to buy him some breakfast when the office door was suddenly pushed open. Someone said with some panic, “We found a body in the courtyard. It’s a high-ranking cadre of the Wolf Gang.”

Bill was stunned for a moment, “Take me to see.”

Soon he saw the body that had clearly been thrown in from outside the high wall, but the moment he saw Blue Eyes, those terrifying memories resurfaced. He jumped up and kicked the body a few times, cursing for a good while.

Even now, when he recalled the memory of this guy pointing a gun at him, he still couldn’t help but feel fear and dread!

But at this moment, he was relieved!

He was still standing, but Blue Eyes was lying down, motherf—ker!

“Throw him out.” Bill, having rearranged his clothes, issued the command, but then he suddenly thought of something, “Wait a minute!”

Everyone knew he had been assassinated and had almost succeeded, which had made him a joke in the Port District.

Those small gangs that had taken his money and guns didn’t seem to respect him so much anymore.

Now when he saw those people, he always felt that they were talking about him behind his back.

It was time to make these people shut up!

More than ten minutes later, two cars suddenly stopped outside the Wolf Gang’s arcade. They quickly dropped off a body and left at high speed. The screams of the passersby alerted the people inside the arcade. When they ran out with their guns, they only saw the body lying on the side of the road, its face pale, looking at the blue sky with dull eyes…
