In a world of chaos and demonic warfare, the Axe Gang reigns supreme.

While Bai Ye was talking with Lu Ming and the other two, Biaozi and the monk, along with their gang members, came to his side with muskets.

Seeing Biaozi and the others put away their muskets, Bai Ye was pleasantly surprised and gave them an approving smile.

With these guns in hand, their overall combat strength will increase significantly, making it easier for them to gain a foothold in Qiaozhen.

Most importantly, these muskets also had other important uses for Bai Ye.

"Brother Biao, Monk, later you two should search the Jiang family's place, and try to find some bullets as well."

Upon hearing Bai Ye's instructions, Biaozi and the monk immediately took action, leading their men to search Jiang's house.

Everyone's attention is currently focused on Zhao Yue and the others' battle, so there's no one to compete with them for the spoils of war.

About fifteen minutes later, Biaozi and the monk returned with their men and reported their loot to Bai Ye: "Yezi, the Jiang family is truly wealthy. Besides hundreds of thousands of silver notes, there are more than a dozen boxes of silver dollars, and all kinds of antiques and calligraphy are also dazzling."

"If I'm not mistaken, they are planning to smuggle all those antique paintings and calligraphy abroad."

Upon hearing Biaozi and the monk's report, Bai Ye's disgust for the Jiang family intensified, and his guilt about killing them completely vanished.

The Jiang family deserves to die for their actions; even being ground to dust would not be an exaggeration.

While Bai Ye and the other two were exchanging words, Zhao Yue and his group's battle ended, with Zhao Yue and his group ultimately emerging victorious.

At this moment, Zhao Yue and the others all had serious injuries, and Bai Lang even had one arm severed, his clothes stained red with blood.

"Master Bai, they're all dead. Can we leave now?"

Looking at Bai Ye, who resembled a giant, Zhao Yue was filled with fear and asked in a low voice.

Bai Ye smiled slightly upon hearing this and nodded to them: "I always keep my word. Since I said you could leave, I naturally won't stop you anymore."

As soon as Bai Ye finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Zhao Yue and the others could leave at their leisure.

Upon hearing Bai Ye's response and seeing his actions, Zhao Yue and the others were overjoyed.

"Thank you, Mr. Bai!"

"Master Bai truly keeps his word; he is admirable."

"Mr. Bai, we'll leave now!"

……

Zhao Yue and the others bowed and scraped, then turned and left impatiently.

Judging from their actions, it was as if they were afraid that if they were a step too slow, Bai Ye would change his mind.

bang bang bang...

As Zhao Yue and his companions were filled with joy and about to leave the main hall, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out.

Then, Zhao Yue and the others were shot one after another and fell to the ground.

"Bai Ye, you... broke your promise..."

After Zhao Yue was shot and fell to the ground, he stared wide-eyed at Bai Ye in disbelief.

He simply couldn't believe that Bai Ye would go back on his word.

At this moment, not only Zhao Yue and the others were astonished, but Lu Ming and the others were also looking at Bai Ye with great confusion.

Ignoring the shocked looks on everyone's faces, Bai Ye smiled knowingly at Zhao Yue and the others, "When have I ever broken my word? Did I stop you all from leaving in the slightest?"

"The fact that others shot at you has nothing to do with me?"

Bai Ye's words immediately enraged Zhao Yue and the others, who coughed up blood and fell to the ground, dying with their eyes wide open.

After killing Zhao Yue and his group, Bai Ye felt no remorse. He winked at Wen Qiang and the others, "Wen Qiang, take some men to clean up the mess and take care of the aftermath."

"yes!"

Wen Qiang responded and then began to lead his men to loot the corpse.

Seeing Wen Qiang and the others' actions, everyone's awe of Bai Ye intensified.

It's true that Bai Ye possesses a chivalrous spirit, but he is ultimately from the Axe Gang and also has a strong bandit-like nature.

The awe shown by the crowd pleased Bai Ye, as it saved him a lot of trouble.

Seeing that the Jiang family's affairs were settled, Bai Ye was unwilling to stay any longer and invited Lu Ming and the others, saying, "Gentlemen, we have gone through thick and thin together today, and it is no exaggeration to say that we are friends who have been through life and death together."

"As the saying goes, it is fate that brings us together. I will treat everyone to a meal at Shengyue Restaurant later."

Upon hearing Bai Ye's suggestion, Lu Ming agreed without hesitation, taking the lead in expressing his stance.

Out of gratitude to Bai Ye, Xing Tao and the people from Songhe Martial Arts School accepted the invitation.

Master Peng and Master Zhang exchanged a glance and nodded with a smile, agreeing to give Bai Ye this face.

As for the others, perhaps out of fear of Bai Ye, or for other reasons, they all accepted Bai Ye's invitation.

Then, Bai Ye led everyone out of the Jiang family's house.

Just as Bai Ye stepped out of the Jiang family home, he happened to run into Jiang Tingting, somewhat surprised by her appearance.

"What are you doing...?"

Jiang Tingting looked shocked when she saw Bai Ye and the others come out together.

Clearly, she was well aware of what the Jiang family was planning to do today.

After a slight pause, Jiang Tingting rushed into the Jiang residence. When she saw the scene inside, her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.

Bai Ye glanced at Jiang Tingting, then ignored her and led everyone away.

Her previous arrogance and domineering attitude must have offended many people. Without the Jiang family to rely on, her fate is predictable.

Shengyue Restaurant was not far from the Jiang family's residence. Although Bai Ye and his group walked the entire way, it only took them about ten minutes.

Bai Ye and his group entered Shengyue Restaurant, and the other guests made way for them, overwhelmed by their aura.

The restaurant's lobby manager quickly came forward to greet Bai Ye and his group.

"What are your orders, gentlemen?"

The restaurant manager, being very perceptive, immediately smiled apologetically at Bai Ye and asked.

Bai Ye didn't waste any words with him and directly instructed him: "Arrange a larger hall for us so that we can all sit down, and then bring up all the signature dishes."

Upon hearing Bai Ye's instructions, the restaurant manager immediately gave the order and then led Bai Ye and the others into the banquet hall.

The manager arranged a very nice room with a winding river outside the window. There was a row of weeping willows along the riverbank, and many people were taking a walk there.

After sitting down by the window, Bai Ye looked out and admired the scenery along the river.

Suddenly, a panicked shout reached Bai Ye's ears from the riverbank.

"Run...run! The water ghost is out again!"

"My daughter, someone please save my daughter."

"That water ghost is awful; it's ruined another girl."

"This is the fifth one this month, isn't it?"

……

With his keen hearing and sharp eyesight, Bai Ye could hear the conversations of passersby even without consciously trying.

At this moment, what surprised Bai Ye the most was that he saw transparent numbers '1' or '2' above the heads of many people by the river.

In other words, by eliminating the water ghosts in the river, he can obtain a significant amount of national fortune points.

Therefore, it seems that the appearance of this water ghost here poses a potential threat to the people around, and he can rid the people of this scourge by dealing with the water ghost.

Upon discovering that there were national fortune points to harvest, Bai Ye naturally wouldn't let the opportunity pass. He immediately stood up and told Lu Ming and the others, "I'm going out to take a look. You can all stay here and do as you please. I'll pay for everything today."

Bai Ye gave a brief instruction, and before Lu Ming and the others could respond, he jumped out of the window.

Upon seeing Bai Ye's actions, Lu Ming and the others frowned, each showing a look of confusion.

They suddenly realized that there was something they couldn't understand about Bai Ye; they couldn't figure out what kind of person Bai Ye really was.
