Chapter 439 Alchemy Baron
"Children Here"

Walking on the streets of Zaun, the running children are particularly eye-catching.

Compared to the adults who are like the walking dead, the children in Zaun are actually quite normal. Or rather, they have not yet realized what being born in Zaun means to them.

Looking at those children who still had smiles on their faces, the haze in Tanjiro Kamado's heart was cleared a little. These still energetic children are the hope of the city of Zaun.

“It is indeed hope.”

Ke Ling did not refute, because the hope for Zaun's future is probably still children. I'm not talking about Vi and Jinx, but the rebels like Ekko and Zeri. The sister pair of Vi and Jinx is more like a family ethics drama, while Ekko and Zeri are like the future of Zaun.

"Wow! Look, are those people coming from the upper city?"

Several people saw those children, and the children naturally saw them as well. The children's eyes lit up, and they were obviously quite curious about these people who obviously didn't fit in with the style of the Gutter District.

"Hello you all."

Tanjiro Kamado waved and greeted the children with a smile on his face. Now he could understand what the locals said.

"Wow!"

Several children gathered together, chattering, as if they were surprised that Tanjiro Kamado would be so friendly to them.

Not to mention the people in the upper city, even those living in the middle square above the sump area might not be so friendly to the people in the sump area. Of course, given the chaotic situation in Zaun, it is indeed a bit nonsense to be friendly to strangers.

Faced with this situation, most people would be alert. After all, there is no such thing as pure kindness in the city of Zaun.

"A little bit~"

A child wearing goggles, with gray skin and looking unhealthy, stuck out his tongue at Tanjiro Kamado, then ran away with a few other children.

"Forehead"

Tanjiro Kamado scratched his head, he was a little embarrassed, but he could understand the cautious attitude of these children.

"Don't worry."

Ke Ling smiled and patted Tanjiro Kamado's shoulder, comforting him.

"I'm fine, Brother Ke Ling."

Tanjiro Kamado was not shocked at all. This kind of thing was really nothing. It just showed that the child was very vigilant.

"That's them! Catch them! Don't let them get away!"

As they were walking, a group of people soon surrounded them. These people were dressed very similarly to the thugs who had been killed before, all with an alchemical punk style, and looked very wild.

"Look, in Zaun, there's always trouble."

Ke Ling understood at a glance that the people they killed were probably the subordinates of a certain alchemist baron. The other party would naturally not suffer such a loss, so he immediately sent a large force to hunt down and intercept them.

"Run!"

Seeing this, Tanjiro Kamado immediately wanted to pull his sister away. A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him, and he didn't want to get into trouble.

"Why are you running? They are the ones who should be running."

Ke Ling did not move and also called out to Tanjiro Kamado. He did not come here for tourism. Since he was here, of course he had to transform this place.

"Ah? You're not going to run?"

Tanjiro Kamado was a little surprised, but he still stopped obediently. If Brother Ke Ling didn't leave, then he certainly couldn't leave.

However, if the situation is not right, he can let his sister and Master Urokotaki go first, and he will stay and fight alongside Brother Ke Ling!
Tanjiro Kamado is a really respectful kid. At this time, he even wanted to let the powerful Sakonji Urokodaki leave first.

"They seem to be well equipped."

Urokodaki Sakonji's expression was serious. He saw that many of the alchemist punk thugs around him had already raised their guns.

"generally."

Ke Ling gave his evaluation. These gangsters did have guns and bombs, but they were very backward gunpowder weapons. They were not Hextech or magic weapons. The power of these gunpowder weapons was very average.

Alchemy punk style weapons are also wild and rugged, with a strong sense of assembly and patchwork, and the calibers are large.

Because Ke Ling and his friends didn't run away, the alchemist punk thugs surrounded them, pointing swords, guns and cannons at them.

"Where are you from?"

A very strong man stood up as the leader. He was holding a pistol, a thick-barreled pistol with an exaggerated shape. He pointed the pistol at Ke Ling and asked.

“We came from far away.”

Ke Ling answered calmly, but this answer obviously did not satisfy the other party. An expression of impatience and ferocity clearly appeared on the man's face. He obviously felt that Ke Ling was playing a trick on him.

"Where are you from? Who are you from? What are you doing in the Red Rat Gang's territory? I advise you to tell the truth, or I will be rude to you."

As the leader of these alchemy punk thugs, Mott spoke with an impatient tone. If the boss hadn't asked him to find out the origins of this group of people, he would have killed them by now. His patience was limited, especially towards strangers who were looking for trouble. This was the territory of their Red Rat Gang!
"Red Rat Gang? Oh, no wonder you all have a red rat tattoo on your body, it really is gang culture or something."

After hearing what the man said, Ke Ling suddenly realized that the gang was called "Red Rat Gang". The connection between the symbol and the name was really simple and direct.

"Who is your boss?"

Ke Ling asked curiously. He knew quite a few alchemy barons, such as the most famous alchemy baron, Renata Golask. She was the richest among the alchemy barons in Zaun and had a huge network of power throughout Zaun.

Of course, this does not mean that Renatagorask is the ruler of Zaun. Zaun is ruled by many "Chem-Barons", just like the warlords in this small city.

The powerful alchemy barons established a loose alliance for mutual convenience. Each alchemy baron controlled an area of ​​the city, and they maintained a fragile tacit understanding with each other.

The Chem-Barons and their thugs maintain order in Zaun. Yes, they are actually directly responsible for the order in Zaun, and they are in charge of much more than the cops in Piltover.

No matter what, chaotic order is still order. Without the Alchemist Baron, Zaun would fall into greater chaos.

Of course, in such chaos, a truly powerful country might emerge, but the greater possibility is that the chaos will continue, because the people of Piltover obviously do not want to see a united and powerful government emerge in Zaun.

Even now, some of the Alchemy Barons have the shadow of Piltover behind them. They either have interests and industries in Piltover, or are simply supported by the Black Gloves. They will disrupt the further integration of the Alchemy Barons and make the Alchemy Barons' Parliament just a parliament.

At this time, the "Red Rat Gang" that occupied the Gutter District should be the subordinates of a certain Alchemist Baron. Even though it is the Gutter District, the Alchemist Baron will come to grab some land. The Gutter District is not small, and the Alchemist Barons will certainly not give up easily.

"Our boss is the Red Rat Baron, you bastard! I was the one asking you the question, who allowed you to ask me the question?! Bastard! You really want to die, right?! Then I'll grant your wish!"

After answering Ke Ling's question, Mott suddenly reacted. Then he was very annoyed and pulled the trigger directly. If he didn't kill someone, these unlucky guys would think he was joking!
"boom!"

A gunshot was heard, and smoke was coming out of the thick barrel of the gun in Mott's hand. Ke Ling just stood there and let this guy shoot him in the head.

"Crack." The bullet fell to the ground and was flattened into a ball. However, this bullet did not even make Ke Ling's forehead turn white or red. It flattened it so easily.

"."

Seeing this scene, Mott who was standing in front of Ke Ling was dumbfounded. At the first moment, he suspected that his gun was jammed and the bullet was not fired at all. But after seeing the bullet shell, Mott understood that he had met a tough guy this time!

However, his understanding came too late, everything was already too late.

"Pfft!"

A black shadow spike shot out and pierced through Mott's head directly, entering from the center of his eyebrows and going out from the back of his head.

"Pfft!"

As the black shadow spikes disappeared, Mott simply fell down, already dead. This scene caught no one by surprise.

"Are there any of you who can take charge?"

It was Ke Ling who spoke first. He looked at those alchemist punk thugs.

"."

The group of alchemist punk thugs finally realized that their leader had been killed cleanly by Ke Ling.

"me."

An alchemist punk thug raised his hand and walked towards Ke Ling tremblingly, his face full of fear.

Because at this time the shadow had quietly spread out, a shadow curtain covered everyone, leaving only a hole in the sky to let the weak sunlight shine in.

"very good."

Ke Ling nodded with satisfaction. It was enough to be afraid. He was afraid that these guys would be the same as the ones at the beginning. If they suddenly went crazy, he would have no choice but to kill them.

In fact, the first group of people were also quite wronged. They had no idea that Ke Ling and his companions would be so powerful.

If Ke Ling had shown his current ability at the beginning, instead of just firing a shot, those alchemist punk thugs would definitely not have dared to fight them to death. After all, they were just small fry, not a suicide squad. How could they be so fearless?

"What is the name of the Red Rat Baron? Where is his sphere of influence?"

Ke Ling asked. He planned to start with this Red Rat Baron as the first step in his strong reform of Zaun.

"No, I don't know. We call the boss the Red Rat Baron. Everyone else calls him that. The boss's sphere of influence is from the fourth block to the eighth block in the Gutter District. This is the fifth block."

The alchemist punk thug raised his hand and told everything he knew. In front of Ke Ling, there was no way he could lie. With his mind-reading eyes turned on, Ke Ling could see the answer directly.

"Very well, take me to see him."

Ke Ling nodded. To capture a thief, one must first capture the leader. He would just go and kill the Red Rat Baron, and then wipe out all his forces.

"This"

The alchemist punk thug hesitated.

"Pfft!"

Before he could say anything else, the shadow spike had already pierced his head.

“噗咚。”

Another body fell to the ground, and the sound of it falling was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the other alchemist punk thugs.

"Is there anyone willing to take me to see the Red Rat Baron?"

With a smile on his face, Ke Ling looked at those alchemy punk thugs.

"I me me!"

After a brief silence, several alchemist punk thugs immediately stood up and started shouting very actively.

However, there are those who want to survive through this method, and there are definitely those who want to give it a try. Among these alchemy punk thugs, there are always some who are stubborn and refuse to believe in evil, and want to try to fight back.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of gunfire rang out, and the Alchemist Punk thugs fired wildly at Ke Ling and his companions. Those holding long-range weapons were obviously the most aggressive. They always thought that they could counterattack and kill Ke Ling, who was full of flaws, but this was actually an illusion that Ke Ling deliberately gave them.

The shadow swept across, blocking all the bullets and bombs, allowing the frightened Tanjiro Kamado to calm down again.

"These guys are in trouble."

Urokodaki Sakonji spoke with some emotion, "Wouldn't it be better to live a little longer? Why did they have to take the initiative to attack them?"

Urokodaki Sakonji, who was standing in the back with Tanjiro Kamado and Nezuko Kamado, remained very calm because he believed that Ke Ling could easily deal with these alchemy punk thugs and would never let these guys hurt them.

"Ah? Are all these people going to die?"

Tanjiro Kamado was stunned for a moment. There were dozens of people this time, several times more than last time!
"Puff puff!"

As soon as Tanjiro Kamado finished speaking, he already smelled a strong smell of blood. It was obvious that Brother Ke Ling had already taken action without hesitation.

Countless shadow spikes shot out, covering the alchemy punk thugs. Only the four who had just volunteered to lead the way were not attacked. However, two of the unlucky guys panicked and entered the attack range and were killed.

"Okay, all those ungrateful guys shut up, let's go find Baron Red Rat."

Ke Ling clapped his hands and lifted the shadow barrier. Everyone saw the sun again. That was not right, because the sun could not be seen in the ditch area.

"Okay!"

The remaining two alchemist punks quickly agreed. How could they dare to refuse? They quickly led the way.

"."

Looking at the dead alchemy punk thugs over there, Tanjiro Kamado looked sad. He believed that these people were not born bad, but it was the bad environment that made them like this. He could only hope that they would not be born here in their next life.

Tanjiro Kamado does have a very strong ability to empathize, and he is also very kind, but he is not actually a pedantic person at heart.

He is the kind of person who can understand the difficulties and experiences of his enemies, feel sad for their experiences, and then kill them. Understanding is understanding, sympathy is sympathy, but he will never allow bad guys to continue to hurt others.
