Master Changsheng

Chapter 49, Section 048: I'll Call the Shots

"They're gone..."

Hanks watched Ankai's departing figure and muttered to himself.

He pulled out a detector from his pocket: [Tier 1, Level 1]

"Damn it! That fat pig tricked me again?!"

On second thought, after being beaten up several times, that guy probably wouldn't dare to lie to him...

So that means Ankai was faking it from the very beginning!

Having not seen each other for nearly a year, Hanks realized that Ankai had another opportunity!

Not only did they acquire props to conceal their faces, but their strength also increased dramatically!

Compared to their previous humiliating escape from Chaos City, An Kai's strength has increased to a terrifying degree!

Even he felt a sense of pressure standing in front of An Kai…

Watching Ankai's figure disappear, Hanks remained calm. He believed that he and Ankai would meet again!

"Your strength has increased again, and you've also gained some opportunities. Are you here to exchange for resources this time?"

"I refuse to believe that you can find resources that meet your needs other than me."

Hanks muttered something to himself, then chuckled, pushed open the door, and went back home.

Humming a little tune, she seemed to be in a good mood.

When exchanging items, even if he can't persuade An Kai to explore the Town of the Dead, he can still take advantage of An Kai's previous swindle to make a hefty profit!

It's important to know that Hanks being wanted by the Kingdom of Shak is a real thing!

It was because of his misinformation that the Kingdom of Shak went astray when exploring a certain place.

The exploration team was completely wiped out.

Hanks wasn't sure of their exact strength, but he did know one thing: in this exploration team, the second-tier professionals were merely doing odd jobs…

"Ankai's appearance means Hanks is destined to make a fortune!"

"Let's see how she orders me around now! Tonight, I'm in charge!"

...

They returned to the headquarters of the Evergreen Gang.

Ankai discovered that a huge change had occurred since his last visit.

The entrance was spotless.

The gang members guarding the entrance to the Evergreen Gang wore friendly smiles as they watched people come and go.

This was in stark contrast to the previously menacing guards from the Evergreen Gang.

If it weren't for the "Changqing Gang" sign clearly written in the common mainland language, An Kai would probably have thought he had arrived in some kind of benevolent place.

In this chaotic city, the Evergreen Gang now stands out as an outcast.

For example, when members of the Evergreen Gang leave, they will nod to the guards at the door and greet them warmly.

They seemed very close.

This situation made An Kai very suspicious. Could it be that all the members of the Evergreen Gang had become "wanderers" for a living?

Besides, An Kai also vaguely sensed a second-tier fluctuation within the Evergreen Gang.

This fluctuation was very scattered, and only Ankai's high intelligence attribute allowed him to detect even a small part of it.

...

"Haha, are you tired, bro?"

"If you get tired, just tell me, and I'll find someone to take your place!"

Polpi, the former acting leader of the Evergreen Gang, patted the guard on the shoulder with a friendly expression.

"Sir, I'm not tired! I'm proud to have contributed to the Evergreen Gang!"

"Don't call me 'sir,' call me 'elder brother'!"

"Excellent! If everyone in our Evergreen Gang had your level of awareness, how could we not prosper!"

...

Ankai knew Polpi. His impression of the guy was that he was irritable.

Now, seeing it with my own eyes, Polpi and the guards seem like brothers.

An Kai felt it was somewhat surreal.

He simply couldn't understand what kind of experience had caused such a heinous villain to suddenly change his nature...

"That kid Will, he actually didn't kill Polpi?"

Ankai muttered to himself, "Polpi personally molded Will Bucklin. Putting myself in Will Bucklin's shoes, Polpi definitely wouldn't be alive today."

The strange appearance of the Evergreen Gang made An Kai feel unfamiliar.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

"Could it be that Sally, that little vixen, has regained her magic?"

"She's a third-tier genius mage. If she recovers her magic power, she might actually be able to do that through sheer strength..."

An Kai muttered to himself, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

He then stepped back a few paces and hid in the shadows at the alley entrance, observing the direction of the Evergreen Gang.

If Sally Bucklin has truly regained her powers, then her past actions will surely be punished...

Ankai is now somewhat regretful; he should have either sold Sally Buklin out or killed her…

"Sigh! I'm still too soft-hearted!"

...

dark.

A burst of laughter came from not far away from the Changqing Gang.

Looking around, the leaders were none other than siblings Sally and Will.

Behind them were hundreds of members wearing Evergreen Gang badges.

An Kai was dumbfounded by their appearance...

"Chaos City - Evergreen Gang - Cleanup Team Will Bucklin."

"Chaos City - Evergreen Gang - Cleaning Team Two Sally Bucklin."

"Chaos City - Evergreen Gang..."

Will Bucklin and Sally Bucklin, both carrying cleaning tools, wore name tags on their chests indicating Cleaning Team One and Cleaning Team Two.

The Evergreen Gang members behind them were the same, carrying cleaning tools and wearing name tags for either Cleaning Team One or Cleaning Team Two on their chests…

"What's going on with this code?!"

An Kai felt that his seclusion hadn't lasted seven months, but rather seven or seventy years.

In his perception, Sally Buklin still appeared to have lost all her magical power and did not exude any aura of a powerful being.

Looking at the approaching members of the Evergreen Gang with their smiles on their faces, An Kai became even more depressed.

There must be something happening in the Evergreen Gang that he doesn't know about!

Ankai now faces two choices.

One option is to turn away and choose to have Hanks or the bounty agency deal with his stuff.

There's a downside to doing this: Hanks will almost certainly use the time he tricked him last time to his advantage.

And the bounty tower…

An Kai had some reservations about this place; he always felt that the bounty tower was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

In particular, the orc army, stationed outside Chaos City, did not choose to enter the city...

Based on the strength of the orcs he wiped out and his knowledge of the strength of Chaos City, that orc army could easily destroy Chaos City…

And according to rumors, the Bounty Tower has an intricate connection with the mysterious, germaphobic Lord of Chaos City…

After a quick thought, An Kai chose to give up!

He still has the blood of those wanted by the bounty hunters on his hands...

As for the second option…

Ankai emerged from the alleyway, head down, and walked towards Sally Bucklin and Will Bucklin…

A few seconds later, Ankai was only five meters away from them…

In less than half a second, Ankai made his decision between Will Bucklin and Sally Bucklin.

With a swift movement, before Sally Buckling could react, he hoisted her onto his shoulder, leaped into an alleyway, and disappeared after a few runs…

Ankai did all of this in just two seconds!

"Sis!" Will Bucklin suddenly realized what was happening and was about to run after the bearded man carrying his sister...

"Boss!"

Suddenly, Will Bucklin was grabbed by the arm by a gang member, who shook his head at him…

The remaining gang members did the same, surrounding Will Bucklin, their expressions indifferent, shaking their heads firmly…

Will Bucklin took a deep breath, glared in the direction of the Evergreen Gang, and said bitterly, "If anything happens to my sister! I won't let you get away with this!"

"Master, don't worry, this is Chaos City!"

A calm response came from a member of the gang.

Then, the gang members surrounding Will Bucklin suddenly dispersed, and the previous peaceful atmosphere returned to normal…

With smiles on their faces, they chatted about the interesting things that happened that day…

...

"Don't struggle, or I'll kill you!"

"I'll tell you! I know Hanks, a powerful figure from Chaos City!"

An Kai heard the cold voice beside him, paused, and continued running into the distance...

A bad thought popped into my head: "Could this woman be using my name to climb the social ladder?"
