Chapter 141 - I Got One More Question
"Who the hell are you, and what are you loitering around here for?" The thug interrogated, poking in the rib with his black handgun.
Albion glanced at the black handgun with Eyes of Ashura before he casually responded, "Oh, don\'t mind me. I\'m just watching a show."
"Well, there\'s nothing for you to see here. Hurry up and beat it!" The thug poked Albion in the rib with his handgun, urging him to leave quickly.
Nevertheless, Albion remained unmoving.
Rather, he raised an eyebrow before calmly stating, "Poke one more time, and you will regret it."
"Oh?" The thug was surprised.
He did not expect the young man to not only be unafraid of his handgun but also brave enough to threaten him back.
"So what if I poke you again? I really want to see how you are going to make me regret it!" The thug spouted disdainfully.
Click!
The safety was removed.
However, the thug\'s expression changed abruptly in the next moment when he felt an invisible force attempting to take control of his handgun.
Bang!
The thug immediately fired at Albion\'s rib at point-blank range before the handgun was turned on himself.
Nevertheless, before the thug could celebrate, he noticed that the shot did absolutely no damage to Albion\'s body whatsoever before his expression froze.
At the same time, Albion glanced at the hole in his black shirt before giving the thug a silent look.
Shortly after, he increased the power of his Empyrean\'s Decree, forcing the thug\'s handgun to be pointed at the thug\'s own head.
The thug tried to resist the force, but it was all in vain.
"W-Wait! Can we talk about this?"
"You had your chance," Albion stated indifferently.
Bang!
With a slight exertion of mental force, the trigger was pulled, killing the thug with a single shot before the thug dropped dead on the floor.
"Who?!"
The two thugs in the narrow alley below were immediately alarmed, turning their heads to look up towards the source of the gunshot while pulling out their own firearms at the same time.
Swoosh~!
A black figure dropped down from above before the skinny thug called Brother Dong immediately shouted, "Enemy attack!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Multiple rounds were immediately unloaded onto the black figure before it landed on the ground with a heavy thud.
"This… F*ck."
The skinny thug took a clear look at the body before realizing it was someone he knew—or rather, someone on his side.
Before he could look back up, Albion had already quickly descended after using the dead thug\'s body as a distraction.
The two thugs in the alley were quick to point their handguns at Albion but failed to pull their triggers due to invisible forces obstructing their fingers.
"Telekinesis?!"
The thugs immediately realized Albion\'s ability before looking at him gravely with apprehension and alarm.
W-Who the hell are you?! Why did you kill Timmy?! Or rather, what do you want from us?!" Brother Dong questioned.
"Another Timmy?" Albion glanced at the body riddled with holes with a raised brow before looking back at the skinny thug and said, "Did you forget to turn off friendly fire?"
"???"
The skinny thug was confused, unable to follow Albion\'s words.
"Never mind. Just a gaming joke." Albion shook his head before asking seriously, "Which gang are you two from?"
"Why should we tell you? Are you also someone from the underworld? Which gang are you from?" The other thug returned Albion\'s questions with questions of his own.
Bang!
The thug was immediately shot dead with the other dead thug\'s handgun after Albion recalled it with his telekinetic ability.
"Wrong answer," he casually said.
\'How ruthless!\' The skinny thug immediately drew in a sharp breath before his expression became even more solemn when he looked at the young man in front of him.
He does not choose his next words wisely; they might just be his last!
"We are from the Metti Gang, the most powerful gang in Silvercove City right now. You might be strong, but we also have many strong people like you—not to mention, we also have the backing of the Albestel family."
As the skinny thug spoke, he grew more confident before asking, "Who are you? And how may I address you? If you let me go, I can consider referring you to join our gang."
"You want to recruit me?" Albion was amused.
"That\'s right!" The skinny thug nodded before saying, "The Metti Gang could use a person of your caliber!"
"That\'s funny. The Metti Gang took advantage of my absence to take over my territories and bully my subordinates, and yet, you ask who I am?" Albion gave the thug a calm look.
However, the person immediately felt immense pressure.
After Albion blew a wisp of Ashura Flames over, it instantly melted the handgun in the skinny thug\'s hand, causing the person to retract his hand in alarm.
"This…"
The skinny thug was shocked.
Shortly after, the skinny thug quickly broke into cold sweats while thinking, \'Is this mysterious boss behind the Chen Gang, Yan Gang, and Declan Gang?\'
His throat became dry.
"This… What can I do for you to let me go?" The skinny thug pleaded.
"Hm…" Albion contemplated for a moment before pointing the handgun at the skinny\'s head at point-blank range and calmly said, "If your answers satisfy me, I can consider letting you go."
"Please ask away. I will do my best to answer them!" The skinny thug sweated under the pressure of the pointed handgun.
"Where is the Metti Gang\'s headquarters?"
"This… The Eastern Allure Casino in the east side of the city is our Metti Gang\'s headquarters…" The skinny thug answered after a slight hesitation.
Albion nodded before asking a few more questions.
True to his word, the skinny thug answered every question honestly before finally asking, "Is that all? Can I go now?"
"I got one more question. What is one plus one?"
"…Two?" The skinny thug sweated.
"Haiz… Sorry, you know too much." Albion sighed.
"What the f—?!"
Bang!
The skinny thug was shot dead with his eyes wide open.
Unwillingness and incomprehension were reflected in his eyes.. Even in the last moment of his life, he did not know where he answered wrong.
