Then everyone quieted down, especially after seeing He Ao's quick, accurate and ruthless 'self-defense' actions against the Ice Wolf Gang members, they became even more obedient and sensible.

When the group walked out of the Ice Wolf Gang headquarters without any hindrance, the Ice Wolf Gang hadn't even realized that the dungeon had been opened.

He hailed a taxi for Jon and let him and his grandmother get in. He leaned against the car window and asked softly, "Has the money arrived?"

Yorn glanced at the bracelet. "They said it has been transferred to our cryptocurrency account as requested."

“Okay,” He Ao nodded gently, then said slowly, “When you get to the North Gate, go straight out of the city without any hesitation. They will assume you won’t dare to leave the city and will only look for you inside. We need to take advantage of this time difference. Someone will meet you once you’re out the gate.”

Jon was taken aback. Upon hearing this, he suddenly felt that his friend had already considered this moment when he met him.

After all, there is no signal in the wilderness, so it is impossible to arrange a backup plan unless everything is arranged beforehand.

He looked at He Ao and noticed that He Ao didn't seem to be getting into the car. "Aren't you leaving? It's going to be very dangerous here soon."

“I have some things to do,” He Ao straightened up, looking at the Ice Wolf Gang headquarters behind him, “I have my own things to take care of.”

I'm experiencing some writer's block; there might be more later today.

The headquarters of the Ice Wolf Gang is a building with more than twenty floors. The leader of the Ice Wolf Gang lives on the top floor. The second-to-top floor was opened up by the leader of the Ice Wolf Gang and turned into a sky villa.

With Eve as cover, He Ao swaggered into the building during the shift change and took the elevator directly to the top floor.

He traveled unimpeded all the way, and the Ice Wolf Gang members seemed unaware of the unexpected visitor's arrival.

When the elevator doors opened, He Ao was greeted by a lavishly decorated door.

Two tall gang members were guarding the door.

They stared at He Ao, who was covered in blood, for a moment, then quickly realized that this was the person the gang had been looking for these past two days.

They quickly drew their guns and aimed, but they were a step too slow.

Before they could pull the trigger, a red glow pierced their throats.

Bright red blood seeped into the crimson sword.

As they absorbed more divine power, the two swords also began to draw upon the power of life.

Because He'ao resisted the corruption and was not transformed into a minion of the deceased god, the power absorbed by the two swords was not transferred to the deceased god, but remained within the swords.

These two swords, made of ordinary materials and slightly modified, also subtly revealed their divine properties with the blessing of these extraordinary powers.

Its sturdiness is at least comparable to that of some of the latest alloy swords.

He stood before that magnificent gate, the sound of a corpse falling to the ground behind him echoing in his mind.

He gently rang the doorbell.

Ding-dong-

The crisp sound of the doorbell echoed inside the house.

Without any response or inquiry, the door opened.

He pushed open the door, but there was no one behind it.

Someone opened the door remotely.

The Ice Wolf Gang leader's villa has its own control center, which is not under the control of the underground machine room.

He Ao pushed open the door and went inside.

The lights on the first floor were off, and it seemed no one was there.

He Ao went up the stairs, but the second floor was also pitch black.

Continue upwards, and the third floor is the rooftop.

A slight cool breeze brushed against He Ao's cheek as he stepped out of the stairwell, where he was greeted by lush green leaves.

Exotic flowers and rare herbs, each vying for attention in their own vibrant display.

In the gray and white steel jungle, this touch of green stands out unusually brightly.

Especially now that the roads in Rock City are still covered with a thin layer of ice, it is all the more precious to see greenery.

The ornamental plants that can maintain their greenery and grow freely during this period are all expensive, specially bred variants.

The Ice Wolf Gang leader seems to have transformed this place into a beautiful rooftop garden.

However, this out-of-season beauty did not ease He Ao's mind at all.

The chip that Fifth Sister gave him contained not only videos of miners being massacred in the mines, but also videos of the Ice Wolf Gang leader's son torturing and killing captured miners and their families.

These kinds of videos are not uncommon. The son of the Ice Wolf Gang leader seems to really enjoy filming these 'works' to record his 'pleasure'.

After committing the murder, the perpetrator liked to bury the body in a garden and use the blood of the dead to nourish his beloved flowers.

Previously, He Ao didn't even know where Rock City was.

He now knew that there was such a garden there.

He walked along the slightly damp stone path deeper into the garden.

From the deepest part of that place, a dynamic sound effect could be faintly heard.

Soon, He Ao arrived at the place where the sound effect originated.

It was a huge electronic screen, on which a cartoonish man wearing glasses and looking serious and rigid was crossing a cartoon obstacle.

This appears to be a cartoon-style level-based game with some puzzle elements. Whenever the game character solves a puzzle, the game plays a cheerful and dynamic sound effect.

However, it is quite obvious to He Ao that the game was originally designed for two people to cooperate to complete.

It's the kind of game that can be played alone, but is even more fun with two people.

Judging from the style, it seems to be a parent-child game.

Beneath this enormous electronic screen, a middle-aged man dressed casually with graying temples and a refined air sat on an outdoor bench, fiddling with a game controller and manipulating his character to complete a level.

As He Ao walked to the bench, the game character stood on the final podium, and the screen began to play fireworks effects and cheers for passing the level.

"Sometimes I think, how wonderful it would be if you were my child."

The middle-aged man put down the controller in his hand, and the huge electronic screen in front of him slowly rolled up, revealing the scene behind the screen.

A tall, fixed horizontal bar hangs in mid-air, from which hangs a bloody, mangled figure. His tattered, ornate clothes are wrapped around wounds that appear to have been inflicted by whips. There is hardly an inch of his body that is intact, and even his face is blurred.

He was on the verge of death, teetering on the brink of passing away at any moment.

He Ao could only barely recognize him by his figure as the 'person' that Fifth Sister had once liked, the son of the leader of the Ice Wolf Gang.

Of course, the identity he initially told Fifth Sister was that he was the son of a shareholder of a mining conglomerate.

The Ice Wolf Gang leader is indeed a shareholder of the mining consortium, which is not contradictory.

The middle-aged man glanced at the bloodied and mangled figure, then turned to look at He Ao with a smile. "Few people can escape my capture. You are one of the few. You are so young, about the same age as my child."

"Think about it,"

The man slowly stood up, smiling as he looked at He Ao. "You don't have a father, and I'll soon have no children. You can be my son. You're so outstanding; you deserve a bigger platform for development. After I die, this building, these people, and the foundation I've built can all be yours."

"Feel sorry."

He refused this strange offer, and he had no interest in being someone else's son, especially since this guy's own son was hanging there, bloodied and mangled.

The middle-aged man in front of you is Vincent, the leader of the Ice Wolf Gang.

"Your parents are capable. You, and your sister who's lurking next to my idiot son, have both impressed me quite a bit."

Vincent looked at Heo and said, “I’ve seen too many people who have had the same experience as you. They either impulsively became corpses or faded into obscurity. Only your sister calmed down and spent two years getting close to this scumbag and gaining his trust.”

Her execution, willpower, and intelligence are all admirable; compared to her, this good-for-nothing is truly worthless.

Vincent walked up to the mangled figure and patted the face of the dying man.

The figure vaguely awoke, its hazy consciousness looking at the person before it, "Dad..."

His entire neck was violently snapped, ending all his suffering.

“She was truly exceptional, like the most resilient and beautiful flower in the garden,” Vincent withdrew his blood-stained hand, turned around, and sighed with some regret, “so when I killed her, I felt a little reluctant.”

He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

“I interrogated her for hours, but she still wouldn’t tell me who she gave the chip to.”

Vincent smiled as he looked at He Ao, seemingly unaware that He Ao's expression was growing colder. "So I let her out, and she happened to run into your two older brothers and sisters. I originally thought she had given the chip to your two older brothers and sisters, but in the end, it seems they didn't know where the chip went either."

I interrogated them for several more days. Your sister was very clever; she pretended to be unable to hold on and then misled me, making me think that the data had been taken by a group of desperados. This delayed me for several days until you showed up at the FBI.

"You don't seem worried about the leak of that information now?"

He Ao gripped his sword, the tip pointing downwards, and walked step by step toward Vincent. Along the way, he encountered mostly pursuers. The Ice Wolf Gang's first reaction was to kill him first, rather than capture him and interrogate him about the chip's whereabouts.

"What's wrong with releasing some information?" Vincent took out a cigar, lit it, and said.

"In this city, who doesn't know that the mines are killing people? In this city, who doesn't know that the Ice Wolf Gang is ruthless? The information you have is just repeating what everyone already knows."

He smiled at He Ao and said, “People aren’t unaware of the darkness; they’re just good at deceiving themselves and living in a dream. Of course, we’ll do some work to help them maintain their beautiful dreams. You might want to try and see which website your videos or files can be posted on.”

The so-called work of maintaining a beautiful dream is to nip all dark news in the bud; as long as darkness is not seen, the beautiful dream can continue.

It appears that in the days before Neil went to the FBI, Vincent had already taken care of several key financial groups that controlled the mouthpiece.

These conglomerates can easily control the transmission of information on the internet.

Previously, during the Rijite dungeon quest, the video that Heo obtained concerning the scandal of the former mayor of Dawn City could not be sent over the network.

The situation in Rock City was even worse than in Dawn City at the time. The city hall and the FBI had been taken over, and there was no opposition party like Christos', who was both capable and influential and had a strong ties to the grassroots.

Evidence known only to one person cannot be sent to the internet or received by the investigating authorities; in effect, it is as if the evidence does not exist.
