CHAPTER 51: 51. LOYALTY (NEW BOOK REQUEST FOR COLLECTION AND FOLLOW READING)

Bobby was talking with the patrol squad leader, while on the other side, it had already gone silent.

The frenzied gunfire and explosions of grenades gradually subsided.

Bobby glanced over there, estimating in his mind that it should be over by now.

Taking down a gang in just over ten minutes, that was quite fast indeed.

Not to mention Chen Che’s methods, just his boldness alone was enough to earn Bobby’s admiration.

...

Warehouse.

The air was filled with the scent of gunpowder, smoke and dust floating in the air like a thin mist in the sunlight.

The blood and corpses added an aura of deadly intent to the space.

The second-in-command of the Wild Dog Gang, Black Dog, was hit in the chest by a bullet, blood constantly spilling from his mouth, staring fiercely at the approaching figure.

When he realized it was Johnny from the Wildfire Gang, his heart was full of confusion and anger.

He couldn’t understand why the Wildfire Gang suddenly attacked the Wild Dog Gang.

An unexpected ambush coupled with overwhelming firepower, the Wild Dog Gang managed to hold out for so long, their strength was already considered quite good among the gangs in the Ninth Special Zone.

Sadly.

Ultimately, it wasn’t enough.

Even a dead Wild Dog Gang member would have their throat cut decisively by this woman.

He watched helplessly as the woman came before him, grabbed his head, lifted it like a chicken about to be slaughtered, and with a slashing sound, his throat was cut.

The woman completed her vengeance, avenging her father and team members who died at the hands of the Wild Dog Gang.

The dagger in her hand trembled slightly, continuously dripping with blood.

Many others, like her, were once captives treated as commodities by the Wild Dog Gang.

Only when the dust had settled, and everyone was dead—ensuring absolute safety—did Chen Che step forward from behind the scenes.

Having faced death once, Chen Che cherished his life; his extraordinary abilities hadn’t yet progressed enough for him to participate in battlefield encounters.

These tasks were best left to his subordinates.

Chen Che coolly surveyed the bodies, glanced at Johnny, and said, "You Wildfire Gang will take over the Wild Dog Gang’s territory; some businesses can be accepted, but human trafficking is off the table."

Johnny hesitated for a moment; the Wild Dog Gang’s biggest business was human trafficking, stopping it would leave them with few lucrative channels.

But Chen Che was their boss; his word was law. Johnny nodded, agreeing to it.

Chen Che’s subordinate, Xiong Da, emerged from the warehouse after a thorough search, laying the items before Chen Che.

"Boss, there are weapons in the inventory, and some Beta Coins. The Wild Dog Gang made a lot of money, and there are vouchers from the Diamond Merchants Association."

Xiong Da handed everything to Chen Che, there was a large bag of Beta Coin cash; he roughly counted, around over ten thousand Beta.

There was also a booklet, similar to a passbook but made of plastic; this thing was called a voucher.

It functioned like a bankbook, issued by large commercial associations, where you could deposit money.

Such vouchers didn’t require real-name authentication; as long as you had it, you could exchange it for money at the issuing association.

A lot of laundered money goes through these large commercial associations.

Only top-tier associations have the capability and credibility to issue such vouchers for people to exchange.

The Diamond Merchants Association was one of them, on par with the Tasting Commerce Association.

"Wow, there’s a full 300,000 Beta here, this Wild Dog had quite the feast."

Adding in the Wild Dog Gang’s miscellaneous assets and weapons.

The total value was no less than 600,000 Beta.

Trafficking in human lives is indeed highly profitable.

600,000 Beta is enough to sustain an ordinary person comfortably until their death in this city.

Chen Che casually tossed the voucher to Johnny and said to him, "Find some time to cash it, leave me fifty thousand Beta, I have a use for it, you keep twenty thousand for yourself, the rest distribute to the brothers."

Johnny stared in awe, lifting his head in disbelief at Chen Che.

This was 300,000 Beta in cash!

He only wanted fifty thousand?

Fifty thousand?!

And Chen Che was so nonchalantly dividing the rest among them?

What kind of boss does that?

In the entire Ninth Special Zone, the rule was the boss eats meat, the underlings drink soup.

A boss as generous as Chen Che was unheard of.

Any other gang leader would take at least 60%, even up to 90%, and the underlings would say little.

As long as there was some soup, they were usually satisfied.

Chen Che wasn’t just giving them soup, he was letting them eat the meat.

Upon hearing this, many members of the Wildfire Gang’s eyes lit up; Chen Che was only taking fifty thousand, Johnny another twenty thousand, leaving over 200,000.

What they each received would be significant funds.

Frankly speaking, this amount equals several months of revenue they previously earned.

How could they not be thrilled?

Even the women who were recently prisoners looked up.

Xia Na, who had been watching from the back to see what Chen Che was up to, was amazed.

300,000 Beta... honestly, even she would be tempted by so much cash.

Other leaders would just glance at the voucher, pocket it, not telling their crew the profits, and later throw a celebration party, ending the matter.

A celebration party might cost less than a thousand.

Chen Che wasn’t just being open-handed; he seemed wasteful...

Many around were breathing heavily.

Seeing everyone’s expression, Chen Che turned and smiled: "I told you, follow me and you’ll eat meat.

Glory, I won’t keep it all to myself."

[Your patron Johnny’s loyalty has increased by 10%!]

[Your patron Wildfire Gang member Arnold’s loyalty has increased by 20%!]

Chen Che grinned and turned to the tanned woman, asking, "Have you decided yet? If you want freedom, put down the guns I gave you, and walk out that door, no one will stop you."

"Or continue to hold that gun, bow to me, and change your identity, change your way of life."

Chen Che’s gaze locked on these Hunters who roamed the Wasteland.

The tanned woman hesitated, holding her gun, then looked back at her companions, seasoned veterans who had survived alongside her father.

Now, with her father dead, she was their leader.

Their home was destroyed by the Wild Dog Gang, and with so many dead, they couldn’t return to the way things were.

Perhaps, the best step was to submit to this man.

All eyes were on her, awaiting her decision.

The tanned woman exhaled deeply, looked up at Chen Che with fierce eyes, pointed to the voucher in Johnny’s hand, and asked, "If we follow you, do we get this kind of deal?"

Chen Che grinned broadly: "As I said, I won’t hoard this glory, as long as my people follow me, they’ll all damn well eat meat.

Johnny, they have a share of the money too, distribute it my way, not one less."

"Yes!" Johnny nodded.

The tanned woman exhaled, kneeling on one knee, placing a hand over her heart, she said deeply, "Loyalty!"

The others quickly followed suit, kneeling on one knee.

The word loyalty echoed into the sky.

Xia Na looked at Chen Che with a complex expression in her eyes.

Chen Che approached the tanned woman, lifting her chin with his hand, asking in an inscrutable tone, "Tell me, what’s your name?"

"Chana."
