Chapter 1406 - 630: Misunderstanding
"Song Zhenrong, Lu Qiaochun, Yu Ji..."
Jinfang Zai pondered over these names, eager to find them immediately and uncover the whereabouts of that person, asking everything clearly and plainly.
"I will take responsibility for Song Zhenrong’s side. He is my man, and it is rightful for me to conduct the investigation. Moreover, I know him inside out; if he has any treacherous thoughts, I can detect them at the first moment. Any intelligence network I manage to establish will be shared with you all immediately. I will not withhold anything. After all, this matter pertains to the Lord of Mansion’s orders, we must... cooperate well."
The Master of Hundred Martial Hall glanced around the group, making his promise.
Seeing this, although some slightly frowned, they said nothing more.
As the Master of Hundred Martial Hall stated, this matter was personally instructed by the Lord of Mansion, with only a week’s deadline given. They must work together and provide results swiftly.
"What about Lu Qiaochun and Yu Ji’s sides..."
Jinfang Zai asked.
The Master of Hundred Martial Hall shrugged.
"These two are with the Rebel Army. I’ve already instructed the undercover placed within the Rebel Army to investigate, but the timing of results is uncertain. Meanwhile, within your territories, surely there must be some remnants of the Rebel Army, right? It’s time to send them on their way. I do not want our plans against the Rebel Army, or any actions, to be leaked instantly by someone else."
Jinfang Zai frowned. Indeed, there were some small fry of the Rebel Army in his territory. Such minor characters, akin to fishing with a long line to catch a big fish, hold no significance even if removed. It would be better to keep these fools within watch.
But now, the situation is slightly different.
The Foolish Underworld and the Rebel Army are already incompatible, so not a single grain of sand can be tolerated beneath their eyelids.
The situations of the others were not much different from Jinfang Zai’s.
Therefore, tonight, besides scouring the depths of night to find that person, another mission is to declare to the world that the Foolish Underworld is enraged. From now on, the Rebel Army will once again be brought to the forefront, becoming the primary target for the Rebel Army to address.
Simply put, it is a declaration of war! Using the heads of Rebel Army members, announcing the Foolish Underworld’s intensity of attack against the Rebel Army.
One by one, the Hall Masters departed, even Jinfang Zai was no exception.
Only the Master of Hundred Martial Hall headed in a different direction. The place he was going was Song Zhenrong’s residence.
Under the night’s veil, the crowd dispersed, vanishing into the night.
And not long after...
Boom!!
With a loud explosion, a closed general store on Changning Street erupted, engulfed in raging flames.
Amidst the roaring blaze, a figure could faintly be seen attempting to escape the inferno, only to be abruptly dragged back into the flaming building by a large hand.
The shrieks echoed throughout the street, sending chills down the spine of anyone who heard them.
However, such events continued to occur within the workshops across the districts of Thunder City.
Flashes of fire illuminated the streets, resembling bursts of fireworks emerging from the roads.
Screams resounded on the streets, as if vengeful spirits were searching for justice.
When someone finally mustered the courage to peek outside their homes, glancing outwards,
What met their gaze were groups of well-trained Foolish Underworld troops, coldly forcing spectators back into their homes, forbidding them from stepping out even a little.
No one knew what had happened.
No one knew why the Foolish Underworld was acting this way.
People only knew that the Foolish Underworld... had gone mad once more, and this time... very mad! More insane than ever before!
...
Song Mansion.
The overwhelming conditions within Thunder City left Song Zhenrong somewhat bewildered.
Watching the flaming light rise in the distance, the cries of innocent citizens seeking help mingled with the crackling of the flames, resulting in a scene of considerable chaos.
"Master!"
"Master..."
"Boss."
Song Zhenrong had already donned his clothes.
Though it was not his night shift, with such a huge incident occurring in his assigned area, as the captain, he had to go out and investigate, whatever the reason.
"Take a few people to check on the Forest Snake Gang area and ensure Divine Doctor Ding’s safety."
"Understood!"
While a few subordinates were somewhat puzzled, they dared not voice concerns and went off to carry out the order.
Incidentally, one of the places where the fire broke out was quite close to the Forest Snake Gang’s headquarters, merely separated by a block.
Thus, Song Zhenrong’s concern was understandable.
Faced with unexpected situations, ensuring Divine Doctor Ding’s safety was a matter of integrity. Quelling chaos and addressing the issue was his primary intention as a captain of the Foolish Underworld!
Therefore...
"Everyone else, come with me!"
With a wave, Song Zhenrong gathered all the capable subordinates from the mansion.
No one knew what had occurred at the flaming sites, the only clear element was that the scouts sent to gather intelligence all had not returned!
Thus, this late-night expedition likely bore grave risks.
Song Zhenrong didn’t bother with words of encouragement; his expertise was always about leading the charge.
With just a call, he mounted the horse prepared by his men and dashed toward the nearest blaze.
With the captain leading, others had no reason not to follow.
"Swear to follow Captain Song to the death!"
"It is an honor to fight alongside Captain Song!!"
Following behind, the subordinates chanted slogans, making the headstrong Song Zhenrong slightly embarrassed.
In fact, failing to meet with Divine Doctor Ding, coming up empty at the Forest Snake Gang, and seeing his sister Song Xi’s unsettling illness progression, had left him somewhat irritable indeed.
