Chapter 925: 567, Overwhelming Team Battle!_2
Jiang Mubei thought for a moment: “Boss, do you need me to lend them a hand? I heard from the residents that the Art Society has just over a hundred people, and they don’t seem to have firearms.”
Xu Linsen said, “Wait and see the Art Society’s combat power. If they can’t hold on, then you can step in. In the future, if Spade has to deal with them, it wouldn’t hurt to have a favorable relationship.”
“Alright.”
The two of them stood quietly upstairs, ready to assist at any moment.
However, five minutes later, Jiang Mubei’s expression changed: “Boss, there’s movement outside again.”
They saw over fifty shadows flanking from behind the approaching three hundred, while over a hundred silently approached from the front.
“What’s going on, has the Art Society gone mad? They have only a little over a hundred people, yet they’re surrounding over three hundred of the others?” Jiang Mubei was stunned: “Are they drunk?”
Xu Linsen also frowned, finding it a bit strange.
But the next moment, Luo Wanya and others suddenly charged out of the shadows: “Charge with me, beat the hell out of them, but keep everyone alive!”
In the instant of speaking, the Pigeon Cage Building suddenly went dark due to a power cut, plunging the whole street into darkness.
Jiang Mubei hurriedly took a pair of night vision binoculars from his backpack, but Xu Linsen didn’t need any external tools.
On the ground, the two sides rapidly engaged in close combat, and in just an instant, the tide of battle tipped overwhelmingly in favor of the Art Society!
A member of the Big Pendulum Group charged at the forefront, swinging a club at someone’s face, but before he could hit, the person’s slap came first, landing crisply on the group member’s face.
With a loud smack, the group member spun around like a top, as if impacted by a strong force.
Witnessing this from upstairs, Jiang Mubei was shocked: “Transcendent? Genetic Warrior…”
The families fought while holding back to appear as ordinary people, but Spade’s two were masters, having a different perspective; they noticed the peculiarity at the moment the families took action.
The families didn’t move quickly, but when they struck, it was ruthlessly decisive.
Xu Linsen glanced at him.
Jiang Mubei murmured, “True, there are some Genetic Warriors in the gang to hold things down. I was being too alarmist.”
But in the next moment, over ten family members clashed with ‘I Want to Buy a Watch’ group members, producing the same results and same scenes.
Faced with the families, members of the three gangs were like children, being easily handled.
“Why… so many Genetic Warriors,” Jiang Mubei muttered, “Boss, am I seeing things? Why do I feel like each of them is D-Class? What kind of gang is this, it’s clearly a special unit, matching the combat skills of even a Federation reconnaissance platoon?”
Xu Linsen also felt puzzled. They had dealt with gangs within the Federation; aside from large groups like Heng Society, it’s rare to see so many Genetic Warriors.
Moreover, Heng Society was an exception because they had a Demigod backing, whereas even the largest Dragon Pattern Gang in this City 22 was far inferior to Heng Society.
So, where did the Art Society suddenly get so many Genetic Warriors? Even Spade wouldn’t be able to muster such numbers unless they pulled everyone from the Fire Pit!
“I was just wondering why they cut the power; turns out they didn’t want others to see their power,” Jiang Mubei said, “This force is too astounding, being noticed would definitely arouse suspicion.”
Xu Linsen calmly stated, “We may have found the person Yangyang mentioned, hiding behind the Art Society, though I still don’t know what he intends for the gang.”
In Xu Linsen’s view, any organization that could produce so many Genetic Warriors must be extraordinary, and besides the person Yangyang mentioned, he couldn’t think of any other target.
Though he still didn’t know, right now, this was just a part of the Parents’ Meeting’s power that had just arrived tonight…
If he were to visit City 10, City 18, Jiang Mubei couldn’t predict just how surprised he would be.
Moreover, these families weren’t Genetic Warriors; they were cultivators that could be mass-produced independent of the consortiums.
“Someone’s using firearms; they might sustain casualties,” Jiang Mubei said in a tense voice, “Boss, should I go help?”
“No need,” Xu Linsen said, “They’ve made all the necessary preparations; you wouldn’t be of much help.”
On the other side, there were seven or eight family members not engaging enemies, led by Xiao Qi, quickly weaving through the crowd like hawks searching for something.
At this point, Xiao Qi saw someone draw a gun and disengage the safety catch. He made a tactical gesture amid the crowd, and immediately someone swiftly approached, carrying a member of the Big Pendulum Group, rushing forward.
In just five minutes, Xiao Qi identified 23 armed gang members and disarmed them one by one like a special ops team infiltrating enemy lines.
The speed of action and the strength of execution were astounding.
At this point, Jiang Mubei found himself feeling both amused and exasperated: “C-Class… these seven or eight people are all C-Class!”
Using so many Genetic Warriors to fight a gang, with seven or eight of them being C-Class, isn’t that a bit overkill? It’s too much bullying.
He glanced at Xu Linsen; they had discussed stepping in when the Art Society struggled, but it turned out they didn’t need any help at all.
Xu Linsen was silent for a few seconds, then said: “Although we don’t yet know what Yangyang wants us to learn, let’s settle down for now; cancel the itinerary, and see what City 22 becomes.”
At this time, the two were no longer wrapped so tightly, the black totems on their bodies looking eerie yet magnificent.
The Pigeon Cage power switch was turned back on, and the building returned to light.
Downstairs lay over a hundred groaning gang members; half the families lay pretending to be injured, to prevent being noticed without any casualties.
Upstairs was full of cheers; turns out everyone was waiting to cheer for the Art Society before sleeping.
Amidst the cheers, the Three Societies United Army had been routed, taking advantage of the chaos to flee into their building, and Xiao Qi didn’t hesitate, leading the team inside.
Those fleeing gang members all hid in the densely packed rooms in the building, trying to avoid being traced.
Xiao Qi stood in the corridor, frowning as he spoke into the Bluetooth headset: “Search room by room? Is that too disturbing to the residents? Besides, we don’t even know what they look like.”
Luo Wanya said, “Otherwise, let’s withdraw for now; we’ve caught enough. At the most, twenty are hiding, we can deal with them slowly.”
Just as he finished speaking, two or three doors suddenly opened in the corridor, and the people inside carefully stuck their heads out: “Is it the Art Society?”
Xiao Qi nodded solemnly: “Yes, what’s up?”
The residents in the room pointed to the room next door, whispering, “They’re in there. Hurry up and catch them; we just paid our protection fee, I bet they haven’t spent it all, please help fix the elevator, water, and electricity for us…”
After speaking, the residents quickly closed their doors, afraid of getting involved.
“…” Xiao Qi was stunned for a while, not immediately reacting.
Luo Wanya, hearing the conversation through the Bluetooth headset, stood in the cheering voices of the three building residents, remaining silent for a long time.
So this was the public support the boss wanted.
At this time, in Room 4403, Xu Linsen said: “Go buy two bottles of concealer cream to cover up the totems on us. For the next couple of days, let’s try to join this Art Society and see if we can find out what they really want.”
