Chapter 2123: Seven Stars Gang
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lous Club, Scovlund.
At around eight in the evening, countless lights illuminated the city.
It brought a touch of life back to this ancient building.
In Connolly’s office, the silence was heavy..
Evans, Helice, and Nathan stood quietly on the side, not daring to speak.
Connolly sat in his chair, absentmindedly playing with the old pen he always carried with him. His sunken eyes, resembling those of a skeleton, stared blankly at the clock on the wall, deep in thought.
Gill had been out of contact for half an hour, which was not a good sign for any of them.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
The sound of knocking broke the oppressive silence in the room.
“Co in,” Connolly rasped, his voice hoarse.
With a creak, the old wooden door swung open, and a middle-aged woman entered, holding a stack of docunts in her arms.
“Mr. Connolly, our headquarters in Rania has also caught fire.”
Evans, Helice, and Nathan’s expressions all shifted.
The fire confird it—sothing had happened to Gill.
He had been inside the building, waiting for the intruder for so ti now.
“Alright, I understand,” Connolly responded softly, as if nothing significant had occurred.
After the assistant left, the tension in the office heightened.
“Contact the officials of Rania and block all transportation routes, including shipping and sea transportation. Don’t give them a chance to escape.” Connolly said.
“Tell them that even if they are suspects, they will all be shot and killed. Don’t let anyone go.”
“Understood!”
The three of them responded with grave expressions.
“Go now. Take care of this matter. Do not disappoint .”
“Yes, Supervisor!”
The three of them walked out, all with very serious expressions.
With Connolly giving such an order, they all knew what it ant.
It was the first ti in years that they had seen him give such detailed and comprehensive instructions.
“Are you still thinking of acting alone at a ti like this?”
Helice asked, noticing that Nathan was about to leave.
“Do you have a better plan?”
Nathan’s mood was sour, understandably so. He had personally ntored Gill, and now that sothing had happened to him, it weighed heavily on his mind.
“The Deputy Supervisor is already furious. If you insist on acting solo, go ask for permission from him. Otherwise, we’ll all be dragged down with you.”
Nathan frowned, hesitating for a few monts. “What are you suggesting?”
Nathan wasn’t an idiot—after all, he was one of the twelve Grand Wardens in the Freemasons.
Though there were ways to salvage the situation, the outco was uncertain.
One misstep could lead to disaster.
It was better to take them along. If sothing went wrong, at least he wouldn’t bear the bla alone.
“First, inform the Ranian branch and have them work with the local authorities to handle this matter,” Helice said.
“Then, the three of us will head to Rania together. If we can delay the target for twelve hours, by the ti we arrive, we’ll be able to resolve the situation.”
Nathan pondered for a while, realizing that Helice’s plan was reasonable. He nodded in agreent.
“Let’s go together, then.”
…
Soul, Seven Stars Gang.
As the largest underground organization in Rania, the Seven Stars Gang held a position similar to that of the Yamaguchi-gumi in Sunrise Land.
It was well-known in the underworld and had a powerful reputation.
On the surface, they operated legitimate companies, masquerading as respectable businessn.
But behind the scenes, they continued to engage in criminal activities, much to the frustration of the Ranian authorities, who struggled to contain their influence.
They could only watch this organization beco stronger and bigger, while remaining powerless.
Despite multiple attempts to crack down on the gang, efforts always mysteriously failed. This was the reason the Seven Stars Gang had grown so powerful.
This result was naturally thanks to the Freemasons’ involvent.
During a particularly volatile period of conflict, the Freemasons had taken control of the Seven Stars Gang, turning it into one of their branch organizations.
Over the years, the gang not only flourished but also helped the Freemasons with nurous tasks.
This symbiotic relationship allowed them to thrive in the shadows.
The Shilla Hotel, one of Rania’s three most luxurious hotels.
It was renowned for its unique scenery and elegance.
Many international celebrities chose to stay there when visiting Rania.
In a luxurious suite on the top floor of the hotel, a burly man sat on a sofa, angrily puffing on a cigarette.
The man’s body was burly, bordering on overweight.
Moreover, his skin was covered in intricate tattoos of demons while his beard gave him a nacing appearance.
The man’s na was Kang Donghae, leader of the Seven Stars Gang.
It was late at night, and he had already been asleep when a phone call woke him up.
The Freemasons’ building was on fire.
Under normal circumstances, the burning of the Freemasons’ headquarters in Soul wouldn’t have triggered such a strong reaction from him.
Accidents could happen at any ti, and they would usually just deal with it.
But right now, things were highly sensitive.
Freemason headquarters in Lundun, Newyo, Paree, Toyo, and Berghain had all caught fire.
Now the one in Soul was burning too. Even an idiot would know that sothing wasn’t right.
But Kang Donghae had no idea what was going on.
The bla, of course, lay with Gill’s arrogance.
If Gill had inford Kang Donghae of the situation when carrying out his mission, perhaps his end wouldn’t have been so tragic.
So, even now, Kang Donghae remained in the dark.
However, once he learned about the fire, his first instinct was to report it to Freemason headquarters.
What happened next would depend on their instructions.
Bzz, bzz, bzz!
About ten minutes later, Kang Donghae’s phone vibrated with a FaceTi call.
Answering the video call, he saw Evans on the other side. Standing up imdiately, Kang Donghae gave a deep bow of respect.
“Grand Warden Evans.”
While overseas branch leaders were often given titles at the Freemasons’ headquarters, there were different ranks.
For instance, Fang Dezhong of Hongn in Hong Kong held the rank of Deputy Supervisor within the Freemasons.
Even though it was a nominal title, Evans still spoke to him with respect.
But the Seven Stars Gang was different. Their influence wasn’t as significant as Hongn’s, so Kang Donghae’s title was rely that of a Grand Warden.
Though he was technically of the sa rank as Evans, he had little authority in front of soone from Freemasons’ headquarters.
Therefore, he had to speak and act respectfully.
“Use all the authority at your disposal to seal off every exit in Rania,” Evans said sternly. “No one gets out. Not a single person!”
