In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

Even so, it's unrealistic to say that five guns could withstand the continuous fire for so long.

but.

"Since you, surnamed Chu, can't hold on for much longer, I'll win again."

Looking at Chu Cuicheng, who was covered in wounds and whose hands were severely burned, he still revealed a smug smile.

"You talk as if you can handle it."

Chu Cuicheng retorted, "You'll be finished too."

"Not necessarily."

Song Ziyou straightened up and laughed, "Keeping you in check is enough for me. After all this time, the 'White Iron' team should be able to turn the Tenth District upside down... uh?"

He stopped mid-sentence, his eyes wide with astonishment.

"...Hahaha, you didn't succeed, did you?"

Chu Cuicheng was actually a little flustered when he heard this. He realized that if it was a protracted war, the "Angry Wolf" people might not be able to hold out. As long as Song Ziyou trapped him here, he would still have to be sent away when the outside world fell.

But judging from his expression... could it be that his men managed to hold the line?

His vision was a little blurry, but he couldn't help but smile at the thought.

I won!

however.

When he opened his eyes and saw the situation, his surprise was no less than that of Song Ziyou.

Because the situation was not quite what they had expected.

Those who surrounded them were neither members of "White Iron" nor members of "Angry Wolf".

It was a collection of these people, including some ragtag groups of unknown origin.

And standing at the very front, with the victorious smiles of the Lin sisters, Yue and Xing.

"Sorry, I won."

Lin Xing put away the dagger in his left hand, returned to his normal appearance, and smiled as he looked at the two bewildered leaders.

"You, you are... 'Spark'?"

Chu Cuicheng's eye twitched, and he asked the question knowing the answer already.

How could anyone not recognize who it is? After all, each gang has its own logo, making them easy to identify.

Or what he really wanted to ask was, "How did you 'Spark' achieve this?"

In terms of size, this is only a mid-tier second-rate gang, maybe even worse than some of the gangs that were fighting a war of attrition before... Even if you've risen very quickly recently, it won't be easy to integrate the various forces in the tenth district in such a short time, right?

But he soon understood what was going on—because there were quite a few members of the "Angry Wolves" behind them, and it was clear at a glance that these people had not been injected with "Erex" and did not even look like they had fought or exerted themselves in combat.

Ah!

Those scumbags who get in our way! They're driving me crazy!

"Chief Chu's loyal followers don't seem to be that loyal after all."

But Lin Xing wanted to kill him by attacking his spirit, so she squatted in front of him, holding her head and smiling sarcastically.

Chu Cuicheng was so angry he felt like vomiting blood.

But Song Ziyou was even more surprised.

The truth is, he didn't forget to undermine the morale of "Rage Wolves" during the war of attrition. He had used similar tactics before and had recruited quite a few "Rage Wolves" members... But what happened? These people actually ended up following "Spark"? Some of them were even from his own "White Iron"?

Good grief, why should I?

It's all thanks to the good reputation of "Spark".

Xu Shi thought to himself.

It must be said that Lin Yue's grand vision, which is so out of step with Sin City, is actually quite appealing.

In addition to what was mentioned before, joining "Spark" offers greater development opportunities than other companies. Putting the two pie together has indeed attracted quite a few people.

Some people even chose "Spark" after weighing the pros and cons, clearly knowing that "Rage Wolf" couldn't hold on, so they decided to plan their escape route early.

Of course, there are others who are not like that, such as some die-hard "Angry Wolf" fans and those who have been turned by "White Iron".

but.

Seeing that the "Spark" team was growing stronger, these people wisely rejoined the group, while many others joined without even realizing it, simply going with the flow.

"Damn it! You two little wench, I could kill you ten thousand times over!"

Seeing that he was at his wit's end, Chu Cuicheng swayed as he got up, wanting to fight them to the death.

Unfortunately, he didn't get the chance. Lin Yue seized the opportunity, came up in front of him, and stabbed him with her dagger, sending him to his death.

dead!

"you……"

Seeing Chu Cuicheng collapse to the ground like a broken sack, Song Ziyou felt a little panicked.

However, the expected situation did not occur. Lin Xing simply beckoned with his finger, summoned a few members of the "White Iron" team, and helped him up.

"Don't be afraid, Chief Song. Our goal is the same as yours; we're all targeting 'Raging Wolves.'"

Lin Xing smiled and said, "Now that Chu Cuicheng is dead, what's the point of us fighting each other?"

She didn't mince words, saying, "'Spark' is just taking advantage of what's already been given; how could they possibly actually harm Chief Song and 'White Iron'?"

This is true.

The sisters' actions seemed to go smoothly, but in the end, they were just reaping the benefits from the battle between "White Iron" and "Angry Wolf." They were able to catch them one by one, which is why they ended up like this. If they really fought with their raw strength, they might not be a match for "White Iron." There was no need to really break off relations.

In particular, the consequences must be considered—on the one hand, "White Iron" is a member of "Prism," and giving them all the information will inevitably put them under pressure, including "Dragon City." If they were to swallow "Angry Wolf" and "White Iron" together in one fell swoop, not to mention whether they have the appetite for it, the situation would at least become the "irreconcilable" state that Long Tianding mentioned.

Given "Spark's" level of expertise, they really can't afford to act impulsively. With two major conglomerates pressing in, the little assassin girl can't handle it.

and so.

"We don't need much, half of District 10, how about that?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 146 I'm injured, I need to stick something in my sister's arm to feel better.

I'm coming.

The classic way to meet is to share half of the meeting.

Lin Yue looked at her younger sister, wondering if she had heard these words somewhere before. Oh, no, back then she couldn't speak yet...

But there was something vaguely familiar about it.

Of course, the specific details cannot be discussed in this messy place; they must be brought to the negotiating table.

Having shed his "giant form," Song Ziyou had changed his clothes and was now carefully scrutinizing the two sisters before him.

He hadn't had much contact with either the current "Spark" or the previous "Spark," but today's personal experience showed him that it was indeed a rising star in Sin City that should not be underestimated.

At least he had to admit that these two sisters were really capable in terms of strength and courage... It's not shameful to be the last one standing; in gang warfare, any trick is harmless, but it's truly shameful to be the last one standing.

But half of the tenth district...?

To be honest, Song Ziyou could also see that "Spark" didn't have much intention of making enemies with him. On the contrary, it was more willing to befriend him. Otherwise, why would it have just killed Chu Cuicheng and left itself behind? Wouldn't it have been better to go all out and cause chaos?

Even those "White Iron" members, they didn't do anything, they just controlled the rebels, and didn't kill them much.

This already says a lot; at the very least, it's a bargaining chip they can use to maneuver.

If that's the case, given Song Ziyou's personality, taking a step back wouldn't be a problem. After all, "Spark" can't be extinguished so easily; leaving a way out is always better than tearing off all pretenses.

However, there's another layer to this: the "Prism"... Successfully taking over the tenth district is enough to prove myself to Xie Qingyan, and I'm bound to gain even more afterward.

But if it's only half, hmm...

Is there any way to negotiate?

Undeterred, he asked, "For example, besides territory, you probably need something else, right? Perhaps..."

"Of course, the territory is the best."

Lin Xing interrupted him, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime, right, Chief Song?"

Resources alone are certainly not enough; even the largest quantities will eventually run out. However, by maintaining control of territory, whether through production or by leveraging one's expanding influence to acquire resources, a continuous supply of supplies can be obtained.

“If we offered to exchange resources for territory with Chief Song, you wouldn’t agree, would you?”

"...Don't forget, your 'Spark' is no match for 'Ironclad'."

Upon hearing this, Song Ziyou was also somewhat displeased and said with a dark face.

"That's what Ding Jun, the leader of the 'Long Knife Gang,' said before."

Lin Xing squinted and smiled, "I admit we took some shortcuts this time, but the situation is also in our favor... Or is Chief Song trying to put up a tug-of-war with us? If so, we'll play along."

Lin Yue wanted to say something in agreement, but couldn't find the words, so she simply put the dagger on the table and stared at Song Ziyou with her sister.

"..."

Song Ziyou curled his lip, "Damn it, these two tiger women are no match for me!"

However, it's true that the situation is more favorable to them. To put it simply, the people of "Spark" are all strong and energetic, while the people of "White Iron" are exhausted... They themselves are not in good condition either, and they may not be a match for the two in front of them if they fight.

On a larger scale, he didn't want to see another round of gang warfare, especially since the "Angry Wolf" gang seemed to prefer "Spark" over "White Iron." Even if they could forcibly take over the entire tenth district, there would still be many hidden dangers in the future.

Tsk.

"...What else can I say?"

After weighing the options, he could only helplessly find a way out for himself: "It was my lack of preparation that allowed you to take advantage of the situation... Fine, we'll do as you say."

"Okay, then I'll have to rely on Chief Song a lot from now on?"

Lin Yue and Lin Xing exchanged a glance, and their mood relaxed.

The annexation of the tenth district was thus concluded, with "Spark" and "Iron" each holding half.
