“What if I don’t pay?”
Ning Beichen was curious if Qiao San really dared to kill him.
“Don’t pay?”
“If you don’t pay, then stay here and keep them company.”
Qiao San clapped his hands. Seeing his subordinates carrying a large dog cage out, it landed on the ground with a clang, and inside the cage were two battered men.
Seeing the two men in the dog cage, Ning Beichen’s face turned grim, and it wasn't just a normal grimness, but the surrounding temperature began to drop.
The men in the dog cage, covered in injuries, were You Yu and You Fu. Ning Beichen had originally thought they had betrayed him, but it seemed he had misunderstood them.
“Brother Chen.”
You Yu and You Fu, imprisoned in the dog cage, saw Ning Beichen. These two men, who had refused to yield even when locked in the dog cage, shed tears the moment they saw Ning Beichen, and they were tears of blood.
“Who did this?”
Ning Beichen asked calmly.
Anyone familiar with Ning Beichen knew that the calmer he appeared, the angrier he was.
In fact, when he disbanded the Dark King, he had no intention of restricting You Yu, You Fu, and Tou Tie.
After all, it was these three who had helped him build the foundation of the Dark King with their blood and sweat in the beginning. Therefore, even if they left him, Ning Beichen would not blame them.
Even if they had betrayed him, Ning Beichen wouldn’t have thought much of it. After all, Ning Beichen had given up on them first. But seeing this scene now filled Ning Beichen with heartache.
“Tou Tie, Brother Chen, Tou Tie betrayed you.”
The two men inside the dog cage said through gritted teeth, their eyes red.
“It was him?”
Ning Beichen was slightly stunned, because Tou Tie was the least likely of the three to betray him, yet it was him who had.
“Where is he?”
Ning Beichen asked, his expression still calm.
“Master Ning.”
Just then, a voice came from behind Ning Beichen. A man wearing glasses appeared behind him.
“Tou Tie, why?”
“I disbanded the Dark King’s forces. With your ability, you could have easily established your own territory. Why bother with them?”
Ning Beichen asked without turning his head.
“Master Ning, do you want to hear the truth?”
Tou Tie said.
“What truth is there? Tell me.”
Ning Beichen asked him.
“As long as Master Ning is alive, the Dark King’s influence will never truly disappear. Since Master Ning has lost all hope, why not fulfill me?”
Tou Tie looked at the man with his back to him. This man had once been his nightmare. As long as Ning Beichen was alive, no one would dare to touch the Dark King’s forces.
Even though he had been the right-hand man of the Dark King, Ning Beichen was the faith of the Dark King. As long as the faith existed, even if Ning Beichen said to disband the Dark King, it would be useless.
“Tou Tie, you want to kill me?”
Ning Beichen still didn’t turn around, merely curious why Tou Tie had the audacity to confront him.
Among the three, Tou Tie’s strength wasn’t the strongest, nor was his intellect the best. If You Yu or You Fu had betrayed him, Ning Beichen would not have been surprised at all, but Tou Tie betraying him was something Ning Beichen could never have imagined. Da Feng Novel Network
“Master Ning, I know you are very powerful, but no matter how powerful you are, you are not invincible. Do you think I betrayed you because I am brave?”
Tou Tie shook his head. “No, you gave me the courage. If you hadn’t disbanded the Dark King, no one in this world would have dared to betray you. You gave me the opportunity yourself, didn’t you?”
“Shameless!”
“Tou Tie, has your conscience been eaten by dogs? If it weren't for Master Ning, would you be where you are today!”
“How many times have you been on the verge of death, and Master Ning risked his life to save you? Is this how you treat your savior, you ungrateful wretch?”
You Yu and You Fu, inside the dog cage, roared as they shook the iron bars.
“You are right, Master Ning did save me many times, but that was what I deserved. Without me, could the Dark King have gotten this far alone?”
“I helped him do so many things and earned so much wealth. Why should he be the Dark King, and I only be subordinate to him? Without him, I could also be a king!”
“Tou Tie, you despicable and shameless scoundrel, may you die a terrible death, and we, even in the afterlife, will not forgive you!”
You Yu and You Fu continuously shook the dog cage and roared.
Ning Beichen remained silent, not even turning around.
The more one gives, the more one is resented. Tou Tie was no longer the Tou Tie he knew. Some ungrateful people believe what you give them is what they deserve, and when you stop giving, they will treat you as an enemy.
“Master Ning, I will not underestimate you, nor will I let you get close enough to have a chance to turn the tables. You can only blame yourself for being foolish!”
Tou Tie pointed at Ning Beichen and said fiercely.
Things had come to this point; it was either he died or Ning Beichen died. He had no retreat. If Ning Beichen didn't die, he would not be at peace.
“Tou Tie, you are wrong. I don’t blame you for dealing with me, and I don’t blame you for dealing with You Yu and You Fu. But you shouldn’t have locked them in a dog cage to torture and humiliate them. They were once your brothers.”
Ning Beichen said with his back to him.
“Master Ning, don’t forget, my ruthlessness was taught by you. Since those two refused to submit to me, they can only die!”
Tou Tie sneered.
“Did I also teach you that betrayal must be based on your own strength? If you had betrayed me on your own, I might have admired you. But you colluded with the Qinghe Gang. Even if you win, do you think the Qinghe Gang will truly support you?”
Ning Beichen’s voice carried over.
“Heh, Master Ning, you don’t need to try to sow discord between us. When you were in power, even the Qinghe Gang didn’t fear you. You are no longer the Dark King now. Do you think the Qinghe Gang will still take you seriously?”
Qiao San said with a smile.
“Ignorant people… are fearless!”
After Ning Beichen uttered these five words, a terrifying aura erupted from his body.
Boom!
A loud explosion.
Ning Beichen’s aura exploded like a level ten hurricane, and screams echoed through the hall.
In an instant.
The hall was filled with corpses.
Except for Tou Tie, You Fu, You Yu, and Qiao San, everyone else had their hearts shattered by Ning Beichen’s aura, and even the firearms in their hands were turned into fragments by his aura.
Only then did Ning Beichen slowly turn around and look at Tou Tie, saying.
“Tou Tie, you didn’t underestimate me. It’s just that our levels are different. You can also think of it as different frequencies.”
“No, you… how is this possible?”
“You… what kind of magic did you use?”
Tou Tie panicked, he was afraid. He had already overestimated Ning Beichen, truly overestimated him, which was why he had found over a hundred people, all pointing their weapons at Ning Beichen.
In his eyes, no matter how powerful Ning Beichen was, he would be shot into a hornet’s nest by over a hundred people. That’s why he never thought he would fail.
