"At the beginning, it was said clearly - those who have people contribute people, those with money contribute money, and your business association provides strength. We asked you for so many things, regardless of what results or consequences are achieved, your association ought to shoulder it all. Now, why are you gathering so many people to share the burden? What's the point in that? Are you out of your mind!"

"Huo Yuanting! What the hell do you mean? He's killing people in the Special Zone, and you're just watching? Don't forget, some of the gangs are backed by you. I know you have a mutual benefit chain going with them. This guy is destroying the rules!"

Are you really going to stand by and watch as he single-handedly turns the entire underground network into chaos?"

The arguments echoed throughout the entire council.

Vazmir, as President of the Council, had yet to speak.

Only after the members had argued sufficiently did Vazmir calmly say, "Have you said enough?"

Everyone immediately turned to look at this white-haired old man, fell silent, watching him intently.

Vazmir slowly exhaled a breath and said, "With every step forward, one must be prepared for the consequences that come with it.

Robbie, there's no need to shout so loudly. If you could kill him, do you think he has the ability to retaliate?"

Everything he's done appears outrageous, but in reality, it's not excessive.

So far, his men haven't harmed a single civilian in the Special Zone. Those he attacked and killed were gang members, according to the news you released, claiming that his previous actions caused all the gangs to unite against him."

This revenge was carried out voluntarily by all the gangs, fulfilling your wishes, no?

He's just retaliating against those gang members who wanted to kill him.

Isn't it natural to retaliate when someone wants to kill you? Everywhere he goes, he has his own reasoning.

In this situation, how can the council deploy troops? On what grounds?

Sending troops now would only give him leverage."

Robbie's expression changed, realizing something at that moment. Chen Che was doing this intentionally.

Vazmir sighed, "Don't forget, standing behind him is An Nishang. Would An Nishang just watch us send troops to capture him?"

"If the council sends troops now, An Nishang will probably send troops too. Don't forget, An Nishang also holds military power. Do you want the entire Ninth Special Zone to erupt into internal chaos and civil war?"

Robbie said no more. He too was at a loss as to what to do, a sense of inexplicable gloom brewing in his heart.

Vazmir sighed and delivered troubling news, "Yan Chong's side isn't sitting idly either. Issues have arisen in the army divisions across the subzones. If we don't dispatch Yan Chong soon, the subzone may very well spark a rebellion.

Yan Chong orchestrated this from behind the scenes, exerting pressure on us."

Haven't you realized? The entire Ninth Special Zone is in an extremely precarious state now; mishandling it could lead to the Special Zone exploding like a powder keg."

Everyone frowned at the serious consequences behind this.

Robbie restrained his anger, his lips twitching slightly as he exhaled, looking up to ask, "What should we do next?"

Vazmir spoke calmly, "Failure calls for appeasing the people; don't delay what shouldn't be delayed, give what should be given."

"Sometimes showing weakness isn't necessarily a failure."

"For heaven's sake, just watch him hold all those money-making channels in his hands; can he really handle all that?" Robbie protested, still somewhat resentful.

Could Chen Che handle it alone?

With so many money channels from the gangs, a lot of money has ended up in the pockets of various council members, and others in the political system of the Ninth Special Zone. Many have taken money from the gangs.

Mutually dependent, black and white coexist, in between lies a delicate gray."

Hearing Robbie's words, Vazmir responded blandly, "Yeah, do you think he can really handle it?"

"Eat too much, and it's bound to make others envious."

When these words were spoken, everyone went silent, watching how things would unfold.

The Ninth Special Zone hadn't settled down lately, and the common folks' idle talk was all about the thorough cleansing of the gangs. Recently, the Upper City District of the Ninth Special Zone had seen improved security.

Gangs.no longer frequent the streets.

Many street vendors were all smiles because the cleansing spared them from paying protection fees for a long time, but there are still those who were uneasy.

Rumor has it that the new gang force is still backed by the Judicial Bureau,

The big gang that wiped out the smaller gangs is now the strongest underground faction in the Upper City District of the Ninth Special Zone."

No one knows how this new faction will demand protection fees, whether more or less than before?

Most vendors hoped that the current situation remains unchanged, which would be enough.

Now, nobody in the Upper City District dares to proudly reveal their gang affiliations.

The hunting orders were spreading across the underground.

However, what brought joy to the common people was that the new faction's gang members at least didn't target them.
