77: Chapter 77: The Legendary King of Killings 77: Chapter 77: The Legendary King of Killings “Hahaha!” Captain Zhou laughed heartily, casting a aningful glance at the ninth guard of the year and said, “Detachnt Liu, rest assured, our detention center hasn’t let a single prisoner escape over the years, and this guy has been shackled at the ankles.
Are you still worried he could run?”
Detachnt Liu’s furrowed brow did not relax, but he seriously reminded, “Just because others can’t escape doesn’t an Zhong Ge can’t.
To catch him, three of our brothers are still in the hospital with serious injuries.”
An impatient flicker crossed Captain Zhou’s face, “Isn’t our place simply short on space?
Once you’ve handed the prisoner over to us, it’s our business how to handle him; you don’t need to interfere at all.”
“What do you an by that?
Aren’t the military and the police one family?” Detachnt Liu’s expression turned sour.
“All right, Detachnt Liu, we’ve got it.
Let’s hurry up and leave, there’s nothing left for us here,” an experienced paramilitary hurriedly tugged at Detachnt Liu.
Captain Zhou waved his hand dismissively, “Good to know.
Now that it’s out of your hands, hurry along, no need to flex your muscles here.”
Detachnt Liu clenched his fist tightly but in the end let go, giving Captain Zhou a resentful look before leaving.
He knew that if the argunt continued, he would definitely be the one facing discipline.
Although the Paramilitary also has ‘police’ in its na, it is composed of active-duty military personnel; they are not true police but cooperate with police actions.
To put it bluntly, all police officers are civil servants, while most of the Paramilitary are conscripts, so the most dangerous and dirtiest tasks fall to them, yet the comndations go to others.
Only after Detachnt Liu was out of sight did Captain Zhou utter a contemptuous curse, “Pah, just a soldier trying to give orders?
Li, remove the shackles from Zhong Ge’s feet.”
Li shuddered, looking warily at the hooded Zhong Ge, “Captain, isn’t this a bad idea?
If we let him go, our police won’t be able to keep an eye on him at all.”
“Are you stupid?” Captain Zhou scolded, “Can’t you just unlock one half?
After you toss him into the detention center, let him deal with the rest on his own.
Besides, we have snipers watching; he won’t possibly escape.”
Zhong Ge, who had been silent and indiscernible beneath the hood, shook the covering on his head and let out a dry, raspy laugh that sent chills down the spines of those around him.
“Heh heh, you’re freeing because you want to take care of soone, right?”
Even Captain Zhou couldn’t help but step back; the reputation of Zhong Ge was just too frightening.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, he said, “You’re right.
You know you’re a dead man anyway, but if you can kill a guy nad Su Xuan in there, I’ll make sure you can eat whatever you want and do whatever you want for the ti being.”
“That’s not a problem, of course, but it also depends on whether that person is worth my trouble,” Zhong Ge agreed without a second thought.
A sinister smile crept onto Captain Zhou’s face, “Don’t worry, he won’t disappoint you.
He’s the one who sent four of our police officers to the hospital with serious injuries inside the detention center.”
“Trash!” Zhong Ge’s harsh voice, dripping with disdain, said, “Most of you police officers are only good for skimming off the top and bullying ordinary people.
If it had been , they wouldn’t be injured; they’d be corpses.”
The faces of the surrounding police officers flashed with anger, yet inwardly, they acknowledged Zhong Ge’s statent.
After all, justice resides in the hearts of the people, no matter what they say, it’s useless.
“You’re no saint yourself.
I’ve had soone loosen half of your shackles; you should be able to handle the rest,” Captain Zhou said and then signaled soone by his side.
Click!
The door to cell nine was opened, and two officers shoved Zhong Ge inside before locking it up as quickly as they could, as if afraid that he might escape from within.
“Let tell you, the new guy is called Zhong Ge, and he’ll be staying in your room from now on.” Captain Zhou yelled through the door and then led his n away.
“Captain, do you think locking Zhong Ge in this room…
could all the other inmates end up dead because of him?” Li asked with a palpable dread.
Clearly, their fear of Zhong Ge was so ingrained it far surpassed any they held for Su Xuan.
A cruel smile flickered across Captain Zhou’s face, “They’re all scum.
It’s better if they’re dead, saves the country a bullet.
What’s crucial is that only he can kill Su Xuan.”
All the surrounding police officers, apparently bought by the Wang family father and son, displayed ambiguous smirks on their faces.
To them, as long as this task was accomplished, the rewards they’d receive could assure a worry-free life for the rest of their days, and any punishnt would be inconsequential.
Moreover, the inmates inside Bright Moon Building had just settled down from the disruption caused by Su Xuan’s arrival, and now they were again facing imnse upheaval.
The Scorpion Man, looking at the hooded Zhong Ge, tentatively asked, “Could it be that you’re really the King of Killings, Boss Zhong?”
Due to the hood, Zhong Ge could see nothing, but his unsettling voice still erged, “Do you know ?”
“Really, it’s you…” Scorpion Man’s voice trembled as he spoke, nearly kneeling on the ground: “I used to hang around with Brother Seven.
I saw you once when I was with him and heard you speak.”
Whoosh!
As soon as Zhong Ge’s identity was confird, all the criminals, except for Su Xuan and Wu Fei, were taken aback.
Then, they started to talk amongst themselves.
“I heard that Scorpion Boss used to roll with Brother Seven, I thought he was just boasting, but it seems it’s true now.”
“Rolling with Brother Seven is nothing, it’s Zhong Ge himself who’s co over now, that’s a real godlike figure.
I heard the cops had an A-level warrant for him, been hunting him for ten years and they still couldn’t catch him.
Instead, a few cops died at his hands.”
“Yeah, Zhong Ge has always been elusive, like a dragon seen only in glimpses, definitely a legendary figure.”
…
The crowd burst into conversation, eyes shining with fanaticism.
Just by reputation alone, anyone who could command the unwavering respect of these desperadoes was definitely a big shot.
Wherever they went, a single stomp of their feet could shake the ground.
As for Su Xuan, who had just established his own fearso reputation, he was already forgotten by these people.
Compared to the totemic presence of Zhong Ge, Su Xuan in their eyes was at best a nouveau riche.
Wu Fei, who had just been willing to offer his sister to Su Xuan out of admiration, found it hard to watch, spoke indifferently, “If he’s really that great, he probably wouldn’t have been caught by the police.”
“Kid, if you fucking say one more word, I’ll cripple you right now.” Scorpion Man glared threateningly, ready to attack, and the rest of the criminals glared angrily as well.
Just a mont ago, their courtesy towards Wu Fei was due to Su Xuan’s reputation, but with Zhong Ge’s arrival, that civility crumbled instantly.
Looking at the situation now, at Zhong Ge’s single command, these people would probably rush to beat up Su Xuan without any hesitation.
“Everybody, calm down.” Zhong Ge seed unfazed, his grating voice issuing forth again, he said calmly, “If I hadn’t been spotted while looking for so company, and then surrounded by over two hundred ard police, they never would have caught .”
“Brother Zhong, you’re so fucking aweso, over two hundred ard police and they barely got you,” Scorpion Man imdiately echoed.
“Heh heh.” Zhong Ge let out a sinister chuckle: “Though they caught , they paid a price.
Three dead, and the other four will probably be invalids for the rest of their lives.”
“Sss!”
A collective gasp of shock filled the detention center room, and suddenly no one dared speak.
As for Su Xuan, his thoughts had long since drifted to Chen Wanqing’s office at Bright Moon Building, indulging in things he loved to do.
“You all stop gawking, hurry up and take off my hood and unlock my shackles,” Zhong Ge was pleased with the effect his words had created.
“Yes, yes, yes!” Scorpion Man ran over like a servile lackey from ancient tis, carefully taking off Zhong Ge’s hood as if handling a baby.
A big-headed man with small eyes, small nose, fine eyebrows, a broad face, and protruding ears ca into view.
The facial features, if considered separately, might not be too unattractive, but combined together, they were certainly peculiar—scary enough, perhaps, to frighten the faint-hearted at night.
Yet, it was this face that exuded a fierce and ruthless aura, especially the pair of bitch eyes that swept around, showing a gaze not befitting a human.
Thump, thump, thump!
Wu Fei, prepared for the shock, still couldn’t help but take a couple steps back upon seeing that face.
He took a deep breath to steady his mind.
Those who had never seen Zhong Ge before realized the instant the hood was removed that the legendary King of Killings was barely over 1.6 ters tall, seed to weigh no more than a hundred pounds, and had a big head that made his appearance comical.
To those unaware of the details, they might think the cops had hooded Zhong Ge simply because of his ugliness.
Brother Zhong’s eyes swept around the detention center, ignoring everyone and settling on Wu Fei before shaking his head and moving his gaze to Su Xuan, asking coldly, “Kid, aren’t you going to get down from there fast?
I, Zhong Ge, am in here now, do you still dare to sleep on the top bunk?”
He didn’t recognize Su Xuan, but could guess that the man the cops were willing to have him take on was no ordinary person.
But now he didn’t feel anything special about Su Xuan, and Su Xuan’s dismissive attitude had fully ignited his bloodthirsty nature.
