Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 595: Chapter 594 Old Lin

Huang Mao and his gang stifled their disgust and cursed towards the sewer, ”Motherfucking bastard, hurry up and come out, or I’ll kill you. Did you hear me? Hurry up and get the hell out!”

They shouted for a long while, but there was no response from below. Huang Mao and the others looked at each other in dismay; there was no doubt that the little boy had run off through the sewer.

Just then, Fatty, the team leader, strutted over with a group of enforcers.

”Brother Leu, you’re here!” Huang Mao immediately went over with a fawning face.

”What’s the situation?” Fatty, the team leader, asked coldly.

”The kid jumped into the sewer, but I bet he has to crawl back up. He can’t starve down there!” Huang Mao said with a grin, ”We can just wait for him here!”

”Wait my ass!” Fatty, the team leader, cursed loudly. ”You motherfuckers, you said you’d work for me, is this all you can do? You can’t even keep an eye on a kid? What good are you? Just waiting here? Waiting for death? This is the goddamn sewer; it leads all over the city. Couldn’t he crawl somewhere else?”

All of a sudden, Huang Mao and the others were dumbfounded. Huang Mao said with a trembling voice, ”Brother Leu, we... we’ve been negligent. But, the kid can’t get away in Zifeng City. We... we’ll definitely find him...”

”We must find him today, it’ll get harder next time,” Fatty, the team leader, said coldly. ”Don’t forget, this is an order from Ling Qiye’s new wife. If you screw this up, don’t even think about working for the Seven Great Families ever again!”

Huang Mao and his gang suddenly shivered, Huang Mao said anxiously, ”Then... then we’ll go find him in other places right now...”

”Go your mom’s!” Fatty, the team leader, cursed again. ”Are you a fucking idiot? Where the hell will you look for him? Do you even know how to find him? He’s in the sewer; if you search elsewhere, are you joking with me?”

”Then... what do we do?” Huang Mao asked with a quivering voice.

”Bullshit, jump down there and chase after him!” Fatty, the team leader, exclaimed with wide eyes.

”What?” Huang Mao was stunned; this was the sewer, after all.

”What? Don’t you want to work for the Seven Great Families anymore?” Fatty, the team leader, said glaring, ”Do you know what an opportunity is? This is an opportunity. Seize it, and you’ll have wealth and splendor for life. Working for the Seven Great Families, you should understand that whether it’s money or women, those are trivial matters!”

Huang Mao and his gang exchanged looks. The impulse to climb the ladder outweighed the disgust, and they finally jumped into the sewer.

”I’ll tear that motherfucking bastard limb from limb when I get my hands on him!” the young men cursed angrily as they gave chase in the sewer.

At night, Su Yang and Master Fang came to the dilapidated residential area in the old district of Zifeng City.

”I was here last time, planning to go inside, but then I heard about the affairs of their village so I went to River God Mountain to investigate instead of entering,” Master Fang said, ”Many people from their village are hiding here. I reckon, if Old Lin is around, he must be hiding here too!”

Su Yang took a deep breath, knitted his eyebrows, and looked around.

This area could truly be described as a slum, utterly destitute. The development of the city seemed to have forgotten this place. The people here were living life at the very bottom, and everyone was trying their hardest just to survive.

Old Lin was actually here?

No wonder Xie Tianlang said Old Lin was dispirited; now Su Yang truly believed it!

”Immortal Master, shall I go in and inquire first?” Master Fang asked quietly.

Su Yang was just about to speak when he suddenly stopped. He felt some movement underground in the distance.

Not long after, a small figure crawled out from underground.

Upon closer inspection, Su Yang recognized the boy as the one who had shined his shoes on Huaqing Street and taken him to see the fish returning to spawn during the boat ride!

The boy was filthy and one side of his face was swollen. He jumped out of the sewer and ran frantically to a small river nearby.

Even though it was May, the night was still a bit chilly. The boy jumped directly into the river and vigorously scrubbed his clothes clean, washing his face as well. Once he was done, he got out and tried his best to tidy himself up.

Then, the boy circled to the back to a piece of farmland, where he picked some tomatoes and some greens before entering the village.

Su Yang didn’t hesitate and followed him in.

The boy was very familiar with the village and soon arrived at one of the small houses.

”Uncle, I’m back!” the boy called out cheerfully, ”Today I got some tomatoes and picked some greens, and we still have an egg at home. How about we make tomato and egg soup?”

”Alright!” An aged voice came from inside the house, ”You must be tired, huh?”

Su Yang was stunned; although the voice had changed a lot, he could tell it was Old Lin’s voice!

”I’m fine; I’m good. On Huaqing Street, I had plenty to eat and drink, and it was really fun!” the boy said, trying to sound strong. In reality, apart from breakfast, he hadn’t eaten at all that day and had only filled his belly with water while bathing in the river.

”That’s good, that’s good!” Old Lin replied with a laugh.

The boy quickly got the food ready. Su Yang, standing in the alley, felt an extreme sadness welling up in his heart.

The former team captain, the Second Generation Blood Wolf King, had once been such a spirited figure. And now, he had become so weathered that he needed to be taken care of by a seven or eight-year-old boy?

”Right here, right here!” A cursing voice suddenly came from a distance, followed by five or six youths rushing over.

The leader was none other than Huang Mao, all of them soaked in sewage, looking utterly displeased.

They had followed the sewer for quite a while until they finally found this place. There were stains left by the boy along the way, and his footprints led them here after he bathed in the river, so they had traced them all the way to this spot.

Hearing the noise outside, the boy’s hands trembled in fright, and he quickly ran over to lock the door.

But by then, Huang Mao had already arrived, kicking the door open and cursing, ”You think you can lock the door!”

The other youths also stormed in from behind. Huang Mao grabbed the boy by the neck and hoisted him up, shouting, ”Keep running, keep running now, you fucker!”

The boy’s face turned red, unable to break free.

Suddenly, Old Lin’s frantic voice came from inside: ”What are you... what are you doing? Who are you people? Huanhuan, what’s happened to you?”

”Uncle, Uncle, I’m okay, I’m okay...” the boy replied in a hurry, ”Just some friends came over, it’s nothing...”
