Ultimate: Gangster Youth, starting with release from prison

About five minutes later, the door to the secret room was pushed open, and then Dugu Lang walked in with steady steps.

[402] The Tortured Demon

He was nearly two meters tall, with a muscular build, wearing a black trench coat, exuding a kingly aura, especially his sharp eyes which added to his imposing presence.

"You are Lin Yu? My name is Dugu Lang." Dugu Lang was very polite and introduced himself first.

Lin Yu shrugged and said calmly, "I have no feelings for you, why would you want to talk to me?"

"I heard that you've become enemies with the people from Ultimate Class One?" Dugu Lang looked at Lin Yu with a smile, as if he were looking at some precious treasure.

"Well, so I plan to deal with the troublemakers in Class 1-1 first," Lin Yu said emotionlessly, seemingly not intending to hide his intentions.

After hearing Lin Yu state his thoughts so frankly, Dugu Lang smiled and said, "Your idea surprised me, but... I can help you, especially in dealing with the extremely difficult-to-defeat Wang Da Dong and Wang Ya Se."

Lin Yu said nonchalantly, "Help me kill them?"

“That’s right, I’m most willing to team up with the strong.” Dugu Lang said with a smile. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes gleamed with a deep light, as if he was already confident of victory over Lin Yu.

"So, how do you want to join forces with me?" Lin Yu stared at Dugu Lang with great interest, his black eyes suddenly flashing with dark energy, making Dugu Lang look somewhat dazed.

Dugu Lang realized what was happening, glanced at the kettle lying next to him, and then took out tea leaves to prepare to make tea.

White steam rose into the air like a flag. He looked up at Lin Yu and smiled, then pushed the tea in front of Lin Yu and said, "This tea is very good, have a taste~".

Lin Yu's eyes twitched. This Dugu Lang seemed very polite, but his smile was treacherous. This kind of person was the most difficult to deal with, and he had to be careful.

Lin Yu didn't touch the cup of tea. Instead, he looked directly at Dugu Lang and asked calmly, "Don't you want to tell me what you're going to do?"

"Hehe." Dugu Lang took a sip of tea and smiled with narrowed eyes, "Since you asked, I won't beat around the bush."

"Initially, I will make KO One completely disappear from Balala."

"Next, I want you to be my subordinate." Dugu Lang's voice suddenly turned cold and hard, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze. These words were undoubtedly a provocation to Lin Yu. If it were anyone else, they might have been furious and even started a fight.

However, Lin Yu still stared at Dugu Lang expressionlessly. He knew that Dugu Lang was checking whether he was an undercover agent.

"Do you think you can do it?" Lin Yu shrugged. He wasn't angry; he always kept his emotions hidden from others.

Dugu Lang's eyes flickered slightly after hearing this. He carefully observed Lin Yu's expression but found no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

"It seems I underestimated you." Dugu Lang withdrew his icy aura and resumed his previous polite demeanor: "Come with me."

After saying that, he walked down another path.

Lin Yu didn't think much of it and followed behind. He wasn't afraid of whatever Dugu Lang wanted to do.

“My most beloved things are kept in here.” Dugu Lang chuckled and pointed to the dimly lit passage. “You’ll definitely be interested too; he’s the father of one of your classmates from Ultimate Class.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's heart tightened, and he roughly guessed who Dugu Lang was referring to. Then he went inside with Dugu Lang.

Upon entering the passage, the pungent smell made them instinctively want to cover their noses.

Inside the dungeon, Shisui lay on the bed, covered in wounds, with his eyes closed. Although his wounds had been treated, they were still bleeding.

"Denglong, how are you? You're not dead, are you?" Dugu Lang asked with a smile, seemingly forgetting that he was the one who caused Zhishui's injuries.

“Just kill me then,” Shisui said through gritted teeth, her voice filled with malice. This guy was inhuman, resorting to such despicable means to harm her.

"Kill you? That's no fun. I'm not satisfied yet. How can I let you off so easily?" Dugu Lang said with a smile, his face full of sinister intent.

As he spoke, he walked to the bedside, took out a small knife, and stood in front of Zhishui, saying, "Don't worry, I won't kill you right away. I'll slowly make you experience despair until you breathe your last. This process will be quite fun."

"You're a demon," Lin Yu said coldly. He had no goodwill towards Dugu Lang, and even hated him. After all, if Dugu Lang hadn't been so focused on revenge, Gu Zhan, that innocent child, wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.

His only mother passed away, and he, being competitive and never willing to back down, was already determined to succeed.

However, his brother, whom he considered a younger brother, was far more capable than him. He managed to find their father, but he turned out to be a traitor and eventually died, leaving his brother with a leg injury. Compared to a scoundrel like Zhong Wanjun, they were all in essentially the same boat.

"Demons? You know nothing!" Dugu Lang laughed loudly, the laughter echoing in the room, particularly jarring.

He continued, "Don't you understand? This world is inherently dark, and people die every day. I simply want revenge, so what?"

"I told you, but you wouldn't listen!" Zhishui shouted angrily.

*Snap!* That is...

【403】 Time-Space Beasts

Dugu Lang slapped Zhishui across the face. In the blink of an eye, blood flowed from the corner of Zhishui's mouth, and his face began to swell and turn red, turning as red as a ripe apple.

"I'm warning you, you're not qualified to talk back to me." Dugu Lang's face twisted in anger. He reached out and grabbed Zhi Shui's throat, saying fiercely, "I let you go back then, but you're too stupid to understand what's going on. Tell me, where are the rest of them?"

Lin Yu witnessed all of this, remaining silent as he listened to Zhi Shui's reply.

Zhi Shui didn't speak, but simply glared angrily at Dugu Lang.

Seeing Zhishui's eyes redden, Dugu Lang suddenly felt a burning sensation. He kicked Zhishui in the chest, sending him flying, and said coldly, "Not going to talk? Fine, I have many ways to make you wish you were dead."

"Hey, I don't want to see you kill people. I want to know how you plan to deal with the people from Balala High School." Lin Yu interrupted, knowing that if things continued like this, Shisui might really be in trouble.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Lang turned to look at Lin Yu, and then revealed a terrifying smile.

Lin Yu stared at Dugu Lang before him, sensing a chilling killing intent emanating from him. Clearly, what he had just done had alerted Dugu Lang, perhaps touching a nerve.

"Alright, I'll let Zhishui go for now. Come with me." Dugu Lang smiled, his eyes narrowing into slits. He then led Lin Yu out of the underground area and upstairs. There was a secret room hidden there, with guards constantly standing at the door, making it virtually impenetrable.

As soon as Lin Yu stepped into the secret room, he sensed a chilling coldness in the air.

Inside were huge cages, each containing a ferocious wild beast. They were all tightly bound by thick iron chains, looking exceptionally pitiful and helpless.

"Do you know what's in the cage?" Dugu Lang asked with a smile, as if he was enjoying the scene.

"I don't know." Lin Yu's eyes flickered slightly. He knew in his heart that those wild beasts were the same ones he had killed in "Area Four," but he didn't say it.

“Those are ferocious time-space beasts, their strength is comparable to that of a superhuman with a combat power of 30000.” Dugu Lang said in a relaxed tone, seemingly unaware that Lin Yu’s eyes were gradually turning cold.

"Where did you get those things from?" Lin Yu became very cautious. Fortunately, he had a plan to lie in wait in advance. Otherwise, if they had come over unprepared, he and Wang Dadong would have been no match for those space-time beasts.

"Think again, where did those time-space beasts come from?" Dugu Lang asked with a smug look, but Lin Yu could tell that there was a great secret hidden behind the man's smile.

"Could it be that you caught it yourself?" Lin Yu asked, since this place was deserted and there was no one else besides Dugu Lang. The easiest explanation was that Dugu Lang caught it himself.

Dugu Lang waved his hand and said calmly, "They come from the far north. I found them there. These beasts are extremely rare, and it took a lot of effort to obtain them."

"The Far North?"

It's yet another place I've never heard of before.

Just as Lin Yu was about to continue trying to find out more about Dugu Lang, a man shrouded in black mist suddenly appeared before Dugu Lang and whispered a few words in his ear.

Immediately afterward, Dugu Lang's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Really?!"

Lin Yu frowned, puzzled and unable to understand why Dugu Lang's temperament had suddenly changed so drastically.

Dugu Lang lowered his head and thought for a moment before slowly asking, "Is the information reliable?"

“Reliable, Master!” The man in the black mist nodded firmly.

"Do you know what the shadow told me?" Dugu Lang looked at Lin Yu, his eyes as unfathomable as a deep pool.

"What did he say to you?" Lin Yu asked, puzzled. Dugu Lang's expression seemed very strange to him. Could something have happened?

Dugu Lang suddenly laughed and said very calmly, "The Inquisition has arrived. This time it's the Red Robe Men, and they know the location of the Ghost Wolf Blade."

"Ghost Wolf Blade!" Lin Yu's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this, not expecting that the location of the Ghost Wolf Blade had finally been discovered.

Dugu Lang said calmly, "The Inquisition has sent a lot of people to the Lan family, and Wang Dadong and Wang Yase are there. I hope you can help me bring the Ghost Wolf Blade to me."

"You also want to open the void gate?" Lin Yu suddenly realized, no wonder Dugu Lang said he needed his power.

"You're quite good. I'm happy to work with smart people." Dugu Lang nodded, speaking with admiration, and walked over to Lin Yu's side: "I have high hopes for you. You'll definitely find the Ghost Wolf Blade. We'll be a perfect match."

After saying that, Dugu Lang got up and walked out of the secret room. Lin Yu stood there, watching Dugu Lang's departing figure, as if he was thinking about something.

Right now, on the other side.

Lan family.

In a state of chaos.

The entire Lan family was in utter devastation; none of Lan Tian's bodyguards survived, all lying lifeless on the ground.

Lan Tian had four or five knives stuck in his chest, and blood gushed out like a spring.

His left hand injury finally healed, and with great effort he raised his head, looking at the several burly men in scarlet robes standing nearby, his face filled with endless despair.

[404] Hurry up and leave, I'll cover your retreat!

"Dad, you go quickly, I'll cover your retreat!" Lancelot's face was red and swollen. Despite the excruciating pain, he approached Lantian, intending to buy his father some time.

Lantian roared, "Hurry up and go! Don't look back! Take the thing I gave you before and run as far as you can!"

Lancelot waved his hand, resolutely denying Lan Tian's words. He could not abandon his father and run away. He would rather give his life than let Lan Tian deal with those demons on his own.

Lan Tian let out a long sigh. He understood his son's stubborn nature, but Lancelot was the Lan family's last trump card, and he had to make sure Lancelot lived well.

Lan Tian shouted helplessly, "Lan Sichun, take your brother and get out of here right now!"

Lan Sichun nodded in agreement, then reached out and grabbed Lan Silu's arm, intending to force him to escape.

"I'm not going anywhere!" Lancelot used all his strength to shake off Lancechun's hand and ran to Lantian Shenqing again.
