The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

The Viper Faction and the Yi Shuai Faction are both among the top three gangs in the Jialifeng Cave, and their strength is roughly the same.

Moreover, they have maintained a balance for many years.

Just when everyone thought that the Viper Faction would face a fierce retaliation from the Yi Commander Faction, the Yi Commander Faction swallowed their anger silently.

This attitude suggests they've admitted defeat...

Not long after that incident, news broke that three people had caused trouble at the Garri Peak Hotel and had severed the hotel manager's hand!

Everyone was in an uproar.

The Garibong Hotel is owned by the Chunsik Pyramid, the largest pyramid in Garibong Cave.

Who would dare to cause trouble there?

Soon, the leader of the Chunzhi faction lost his temper, and his underlings went on a frenzied search for the murderer.

The area around Gari Peak Cave is not very large.

Before long, the killer's true identity was revealed; rumors circulated that he was the leader of the Viper Clan.

Isn't An Chengtai the leader of the Viper Faction?

Is that guy crazy?

Do they want to wage war against both Chun-sik's faction and Yi-shuai's faction at the same time?

Just as everyone was still wondering, the police issued a new announcement.

The announcement stated that Ahn Sung-tae was dead, and that his body had been dismembered and dumped on the street. Furthermore, the autopsy results were from several days ago!

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The brief announcement immediately made the whole incident more confusing.

Although gang fights still occur frequently in Gari Peak Cave, it has been many years since a gang leader has been killed.

Now, even smaller factions that were initially just watching the show couldn't sit still anymore.

They all tried their best to find out the truth of the whole incident through their own channels.

Snakes have their paths, and rats have their burrows.

Before long, some well-informed people found a clue.

It turns out that An Chengtai was killed by a group of people from Changwon. I heard they were loan sharks there, and they were very ruthless.

There were only three people who took action.

The leader's name is Zhang Qian. I heard he's from the same hometown, but he specializes in harming his fellow countrymen, and his cruelty is appalling.

With An Chengtai's death, the Viper Faction had long since ceased to exist in name only.

Rumors have it that Zhang Qian has taken over the entire Viper Faction and renamed it the Black Dragon Faction.

Currently, the Black Dragon Faction is ostensibly managed by Du Chengyu, the former second-in-command of the Poisonous Snake Faction.

In reality, there were only three core members: the leader Zhang Qian, his right and left hands Wei Chengluo, and Yang Tai.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

No wonder the Viper faction has been so crazy lately; it turns out they've gone from vipers to dragons, from muskets to cannons...

Only a mighty dragon can cross the river!

...

As time went on, the Black Dragon faction, led by Zhang Qian, became even more fanatical.

The merchants in Jialifeng Hutong are being harassed daily by these people demanding exorbitant management fees. If they refuse to pay, they vandalize their property and even break their arms and legs!

In just a few days, at least twenty homes have been vandalized and threatened.

Their expansion was also incredibly rapid, during which they swiftly swallowed up several smaller gangs.

The gang's influence has spread to Guro-dong, and is even gradually extending towards Tusan-dong in Geumcheon-gu, Siheung-dong, and Daerim-dong in Yeongdeungpo-gu...

While everyone in Guro District was living in fear, another interesting piece of news quietly began to spread.

The Black Dragon Sect has been searching for a man named Ding Xin...

Who is Ding Xin?

This name is unfamiliar to most people.

It wasn't until later that we got specific information about this person.

Ding Xin was one of the original members of the Poisonous Snake Faction, and the only one among them who refused to submit to Zhang Qian.

Not only that, but he even managed to outmaneuver Zhang Qian once.

The specific details are not complicated.

I heard that Du Chengyu, that traitor, has his eye on An Chengtai's assets and wants to curry favor with the new boss.

Ding Xin then escorted An Chengtai's only widow away overnight, and they disappeared to who knows where.

After finishing his business, he even declared that he would definitely come back to avenge his elder brother An Chengtai after settling his sister-in-law in!

Pretty!

Upon hearing this, the crowd, who had been suppressed by the Black Dragon Faction to the point of being unable to raise their heads, cheered from the bottom of their hearts.

What a damn loyal and righteous wolf cub...

Then, Ding Xin became famous at the Garibong Cave.

Even though no one had ever seen him, he had transformed himself into a moral exemplar for gangsters.

As his fame spread, the entire Black Dragon Sect became increasingly fanatical, determined to find Ding Xin and tear him to pieces.

However, the Black Dragon Faction's mad actions only made Ding Xin's reputation even more prominent.

Everyone else thought that with this group of people watching him like this, Ding Xin, a man of loyalty and righteousness, was probably in grave danger.

But only Ding Xin himself knew.

This is exactly what he wanted!

Interestingly.

As the incident unfolded, Du Chengyu's reputation was ruined.

It stinks absolutely!

His behavior was in stark contrast to Ding Xin's.

Back in the Viper Clique, An Chengtai trusted him so much; that was obvious to everyone.

Now that his elder brother is dead, not only does he not think about revenge, but he has also betrayed his country without hesitation.

That's understandable, it's for saving one's life.

But what's even more shameful is that he actually considered betraying his sister-in-law to curry favor with her...

Do you understand the saying "misfortune should not befall the family"?

If An Chengtai knew this from beyond the grave, he'd probably be turning in his grave.

Another piece of gossip is circulating...

It's also about Du Chengyu; apparently, that bastard even gave his wife to Zhang Qian to play with...

Everyone was speechless.

What can I say?

This is obviously beyond redemption.

Some of the more radical gangsters even threatened, while drunk, that they would pull down the pants of the bastard Du Chengyu to see if he had any guts!

It would be unrighteous not to help his elder brother avenge his death, and heartless to give his wife away.

They are heartless and ungrateful, utterly disgracing the gang!

...

Gyeongsangbuk-do.

Ding Xin, holding his phone, lay comfortably in his executive chair.

He crossed his legs and casually propped them up on the desk in front of him, occasionally wiggling them.

"Very good, the fee for your hard work has been transferred to your account."

"Remember to keep an eye out for those people. I'll reward you handsomely afterwards!"

"It's only right. It's only fair to get paid for doing something. It's not much, just a small token of my appreciation."

"Of course I'm going back. I'll be going back tomorrow. You can also use this news to exchange for money."

"That bastard Zhang Qian killed my elder brother, I can't stand it for a second longer!"

"Yes, let's give it a try. More people means more help."

"Haha, don't worry, you should know my character, Ding Xin. A promise is a promise!"

"Okay, that's settled then. See you then."
