Chapter 299: A Boiling Night 2
West Wind Pavilion Local Land Bureau.
Middle-aged balding director Chen Kangan of the Local Land Bureau returned to the office, and a security officer quickly ran up to him, “Director, you’re finally back!”
“Xi Jiu Hutong, two places on Chaomen Street, the ‘Red Shirt’ people are starting work, the residents’ hotline is ringing off the hook.”
Chen Kangan glanced at him, “You called me back for this little thing?”
“Ray Seven greeted us a while ago, I told you to turn a blind eye to this matter, those bastards will get what’s coming to them eventually, but not from us.”
“We just need to show up afterwards.”
The security officer looked mournful, “What about the hotline?”
“Just disconnect the phone line, if someone comes knocking tomorrow, just say it’s malfunctioning. Do I have to teach you this? How can you be so incompetent!” said Chen Kangan impatiently.
The security officer quickly agreed.
At that moment, there was a distant sound of explosions coming from the city. Chen Kangan looked up and saw flames rising behind the silhouette of a building in the distance.
“Oh my goodness, Thunder Seven is really serious.”
“This is going to make it hard for me to write my report tomorrow, I, I…”
After thinking for a while, Chen Kangan realized that as a small local bureau chief, he was really powerless against the ‘powerful figures’.

In front of the Jude Building.
Just as the ‘powerful figure’ finished shouting, the driver in the driver’s seat of the modified camper van smiled continuously, but suddenly turned on the headlights.
The bright light made the gang member see nothing but white in front of his eyes.
He was about to say something when suddenly he felt a cold sensation on his neck, making it hard for him to breathe.
He took two steps back while holding his neck, then fell to the ground with a thud, eventually lying down.
It was then that he saw figures passing by him, with flashes of fire in the night sky, followed by a gang member on lookout at the tavern screaming and falling down beside him.
Finally, a huge figure reflecting the light, flowing with a cold metallic sheen, but entirely crimson, passed by him.
That figure turned out to be a small mecha, with two glowing lights on its devil-like face mask.
The mecha then leaped onto the second floor, crashing into the tavern, which was the last scene the gang member lying on the ground saw.
Inside the tavern, Lei Qi, who was watching a show, suddenly heard voices and gunshots outside, feeling puzzled and about to call someone to ask.
Suddenly, a row of windows and walls in the tavern were shattered by a giant figure, glass windows and broken stones flying in, hitting the audience at the back.
Most of the “audience” were friends of Lei Qi, invited by him to watch a show tonight. Little did they expect someone daring enough to barge into the restaurant and start a fight.
Immediately, there were screams and people scattered everywhere.
Lei Qi’s face darkened. Originally, tonight was supposed to be listening to music and watching a show at the restaurant, not committing murder and arson in the city.
They were planning to put on a real show to show off the power of the “Hua Shan” group.
But now, they were being confronted by someone at their door.
Lei Qi, being experienced with such situations, remained calm and collected. He leisurely watched a figure emerge from the thick smoke.
He was about to say something to defuse the situation when suddenly something flew out of the smoke, rolling to his feet. Then the smoke thickened, and Lei Qi felt a burning sensation in his eyes and nose, uncontrollably shedding tears and mucus.
It was a tear gas grenade!
Before he could even think about who would stoop so low, a bright light flashed from the smoke, blinding his eyes.
Flashbang!
At this moment, Lei Qi was caught off guard and immediately lay on the ground, covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, crawling towards the exit based on his memory.
Just then, he heard a series of muffled gunshots.
‘Bang bang bang…’
A spray of bullets skimmed along the ground towards him, sweeping the wooden floor into chunks. Just as it seemed about to hit Lei Qi, it was like hitting an invisible barrier, unable to advance.
‘Empty Wall!’
This was the only ‘mystical art’ Lei Qi possessed, which he activated while lying on the ground to prevent the current situation.
Before he could rejoice, he heard a dull sound of breaking air, followed by the shockwave of the shattered ‘Empty Wall’ rushing towards him.
Lei Qi realized it was not good, then he felt a strong air flow approaching, envisioning someone kicking him in the head.
He’s not just a showpiece as the leader of the second floor, but he firmly holds the top spot in the gang.
Although he’s been the top fighter for a long time, he hasn’t fought anyone recently, let alone risked his life. That’s why he’s out of shape and overweight.
Now, Lei Qi could only instinctively trigger his Elemental Power, which faintly formed a shadow of a black bear around him. Then, he was kicked and went flying.
His whole body trembled with fat, suffering intense pain in his abdomen. He thought the kick was incredibly heavy, making him feel like his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were about to pop out of his mouth.
Lei Qi didn’t know where he crashed into, only feeling dizzy and seeing blood uncontrollably flowing from his mouth.
His eyes could barely see through the thick smoke in the restaurant, where another glare appeared, blinding him.
Frantically trying to cast a spell with his hands, suddenly his right hand burned, followed by excruciating pain.
Lei Qi screamed in agony, not realizing his right hand was injured so badly that it was almost blown apart.
In this situation, he couldn’t unleash the ‘Empty Wall’ technique.
He quickly shouted, “Who’s there!”
“Let’s talk, what do you want…”
As the words fell, Lei Qi’s forehead suddenly exploded, with pieces of skull and hair lifting up.
He wide opened his eyes that could not see anything, and died a violent death.
The tavern was in chaos.
The two women hiding in the corner, shivering, watched as the thick smoke slowly dispersed, revealing a blood-red mecha standing on the stage like a demon.
The mecha raised its arm, a gun barrel emerged from its wrist guard, and a wisp of smoke rose from the muzzle.
On the stage, Lei Qi lay on his side on the ground, eyes wide open, right hand mangled, his forehead and a whole piece of scalp lifted off, exposing a bloody head.
Seeing this scene, the two women couldn’t help but scream.

Morning Gate Street, Nameless Alley.
The bar ‘Red House’ has been burned to ruins.
Mountain Falcon was about to go back when his phone suddenly rang.
He answered the phone and suddenly changed color, “What!”
Beside him, Ajing was puzzled, “What’s wrong, Uncle Ying?”
Mountain Falcon put down his phone, stood still in disbelief for a few seconds, then said, “Jude Building was attacked, Seventh Uncle… Seventh Uncle is dead.”
Ajing stepped back twice.
“This is impossible!”
“Who dares to kill Seventh Uncle in the Jude Building?!”
Mountain Falcon looked sad, raised his hand, and pointed to the now ruined ‘Red House’.
Ajing took a slow breath, then slowly uttered two words, “Red Ghost?”
“To be precise, it was Red Ghost and his gang, along with ‘Iron Horse’, who attacked the Jude Building while we were working in the city.”
“Now, Red Ghost wants to meet me and Yang Hao.”
