Chapter Nineteenth: The Expedition to Caoqiao Market

  The journey across the Mediterranean is Shen Qingyang's final mission. No one can assign him a task, except his own conscience! From the life-and-death battle in Bambusa Forest to now, Shen Qingyang has never wavered, whether it was killing the rebel commander Wuden or beheading more than thirty desperate fugitives with one breath, none of which have dissipated the resentment in his chest.

  This resentment has been buried deep in his heart, tolerating it on the escape route as much as possible, until just now when chasing after the opponent, it was slightly exposed, and there is still a terrifying killing intent on his body while sitting in the taxi.

  The killing intent gradually dissipated as the scenery on both sides of the road changed, and the beautiful neon lights pulled Shen Qingyang back into the real world. Shen Qingyang looked at all this with a blank expression, everything had nothing to do with him, if it weren't for being calculated by that cripple last night, he wouldn't have fallen into so many disputes, even now he wanted to go to the Grass Market's nightclub to drink wildly, or to Heishi Town's "Tianxia Chun" to vent his anger.

  This is man's freedom! But obviously, this freedom does not belong to Shen Qingyang.

  "Where to go?" Since it was determined that Ou Yang, Ban Ji and Bai Nv were in cahoots, from a emotional standpoint, he himself was also in cahoots with them. This is the normal cognition brought about by ordinary reasoning. Shen Qingyang pondered for a moment, to complete his mission first and foremost was survival!

  Surviving in the city and on the African battlefield is no different: one must follow the law of the jungle - the strong are king! Clear all obstacles that stand in your way, eliminate all enemies who plot against you, even if that enemy is your own brother!

  "Hey! Young man, I'll take you to a very dangerous place, but it's exciting!" Ah-yu's voice was clear and loud, his hunched back seemed to straighten up a lot, his silhouette looked very robust, completely unlike that of a social outcast.

  Shen Qingyang saw everything with his own eyes, this momentum had actually been revealed in "Yi Shui Zhai", it was just that he himself was a bit neglectful. This mistake cannot be made again, otherwise he will die without a complete corpse!

  The taxi driver showed no reaction to the conversation between the two, they were in cahoots! Shen Qingyang narrowed his eyes and took a glance at the driver, his waist was straight, his face expressionless, with the potential of an assassin, only he was too old, didn't have the chance to become one. Another member of the Tian Tian Alliance? Ah-yi said that the Tian Tian Alliance had dispersed and disappeared without a trace, but now it seemed they were everywhere, or rather, he had already fallen into their trap...

  "Is it a gladiatorial arena or an underground boxing ring?" Shen Qingyang relaxed his whole body and leaned against the soft chair: "I'm not interested in these, too bloody!"

  This remark made Shen Qingyang himself laugh. The bloodshed was nothing compared to the brutality in the Bambusa forest, they were just playing around.

  "You're very clever, the most exciting thing in the city is not the boxing arena, but I'm also not interested in that place, you'll know when you get there!" Old Man Yu smiled with a sense of accomplishment, as if he was about to complete his mission.

  Shen Qingyang lazily smiled and lit a cigarette, taking a drag. The car didn't enter the city center, but instead sped down a straight asphalt road, heading southwest and leaving dust behind.

  It's the direction of Cao City!

  "Little brother, I'm sure you've already guessed where I'm taking you. That's right, it's Cao Shi (Grass Market). Let's go eat a tyrant's meal first!"

  "Good!" Shen Qingyang didn't show any surprise, nor did he ask again. Since it was a free meal, where could you find such a good thing? In Cao Shi, there were two relatively upscale restaurants, one was "Tianze Garden" Cao Shi store, and the other was "Cuixianju", the others were not considered.

  "I want to try Tianze Garden's Sichuan cuisine and see if it's authentic!" Shen Qingyang chuckled, looking at Yaobo.

  The old man turned his head to look at Shen Qingyang, with a hint of excitement in his eyes: "Heh heh! Just like I thought, but that place is Mr. Lin's territory, not easy to deal with!"

  Mr. Dogshit? It's just someone's dog, and that "someone" is either a government official in power or a big shot of the underworld. Those who can fight and kill on the road are not considered real skills, but those who watch others fight and kill while profiting from it are the superior ones!

  The town of Cao is not a small settlement. There are mountains and rivers, but compared to the African jungle, it's not even a fart! Shen Qingyang glanced at the forest, which was full of deciduous trees, and had a certain momentum. If they were to fight in here, it would add a lot of excitement.

  The car stopped in front of a supermarket on the small street of Cao Shi Market, and it couldn't move forward anymore. It wasn't that the road was too narrow, but there were just too many people! How could such a small town accommodate so many people?! Shen Qingyang withdrew his gaze, with constant noise and curses around him.

  "Let's go, little brother!" Ah-yi stretched out his arm and let out a groan: "It's been ages since I came to this place, I'm suffocating on Xiao Si Street!"

  Shen Qingyang's face was expressionless as he glanced at the taxi driver: "He didn't pay!"

  The driver didn't turn his head back, the car quickly backed up and then made a sharp turn to leave. Very good quality, learning from Lei Feng is a good example, domestically it should be "model taxi"!

  "Little brother..."

  "Stop calling me little brother!" Shen Qingyang glared at Da Bo: "Am I that old?"

  "Haha! You don't understand our rules!"

  From "little brother" to "fat chef", now it's become the old man's "young master"! The change of title often comes with a change in social status, and Shen Qingyang's social status has indeed been a rollercoaster ride.

  "What's going on?"

  Yu Bo gazed at the surging crowd, his body suddenly hunched over, his old eyes instantly cloudy, his face full of wrinkles, identical to the image on Xiaosi Street!

  The old man knows disguise techniques! And it's surprisingly similar to his own, Shen Qingyang was slightly surprised, no wonder he could hide in Xiao Si Street without being noticed. A master has his own wonderful methods!

  A tall and handsome young man, next to a dumb uncle, no one would think they are together!

  "Little brother, what should your identity be now?"

  "Hooligan! Just started!"

  "Hmm!" Ah-yi shook his head: "Newbies aren't like you! There are no newbies here, they're all old hands. You're a young master with a wealthy family and unlimited spending power - that's why I call you Little Brother!"

  Damn! Shen Qingyang swallowed his saliva, he used to be a rich kid, but it's been many years since he was one. A long-forgotten feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, Shen Qingyang pinched his "Chinese collar", shook his neck, and the two lumps of meat on his cheeks reappeared out of thin air, not only that, his under-eye bags also swelled up for no reason, as if he had overindulged in lust.

  Everything was ready, Yu Bo narrowed his eyes and stared at Shen Qingyang. This guy's kung fu wasn't just about killing people!

  "Rein in your killing intent!"

  "Oh!" The young master didn't have a murderous aura, but rather an evil or spoiled one! Right, he should have some temper!

  "Old man, we need to finish the task before three o'clock, Xinger is waiting for me at home and I need to protect her!" Shen Qingyang cursed with a twisted mouth.

  "Haha……you're the boss!" He's really a talented person, scolding people without drafting and finding reasons to be well-founded. Ah Bao's face was somewhat unusual, it had been a long time since he met such a spirited young man!

  Two people, one in front and one behind, passed through the surging crowd, led by Dumbel to the main street of Caomarket. Although it is a place where ordinary people live, as a "satellite city" of Zhonghai City, Caomarket still has a lot of "background", this "background" comes from the main street!

  On both sides of the main street are rows of houses, uneven in height and disorderly, with trash scattered all over the streets. People walking on the streets have to make detours, and from time to time, bursts of women's giggles can be heard from the small doors at the foot of the buildings.

  It's really a "grass market"! Shen Qingyang glanced at those women who were pulling customers, either with small breasts or big buttocks, dressed like wild ghosts, not one of them was attractive. However, the seductive laughter was very charming, and the mute old man beside him seemed to be enjoying it, listening with a drooling mouth!

  The old man's acting skills are top-notch! Shen Qingyang walked and pondered how to turn being passive into taking the initiative, he couldn't always let him take the lead. I need a chance, a chance that would shock him and even shock the forces behind him! "Tianze Garden" is a great choice!

  Shen Qingyang had no friends in Zhonghai City, but that mysterious "old man" should count as one. After all, he sent a "Gege" to deliver heavy gifts to himself, and even left something under Xiang'er's bed...

  "Alright, little brother, it's up to you now! The Tianyeyuan here in Caoshi is different from the one in Zhonghai City. This place has a lot of excitement, what kind do you like?" Yu Bo narrowed his eyes thoughtfully as he gazed at the luxurious Tianyeyuan not far ahead.

  "I love killing!" Shen Qingyang casually glanced towards the Tianze Garden, where many luxury cars were parked at the entrance, including Maserati, Rolls-Royce Phantom, BMW 730, and Hummer. However, the trash heap on the street corner clashed with these luxury cars, making it an eyesore. This place was where the rich came to seek thrills, but those trash belonged to the poor. Were the poor trash? Not necessarily!

  "Killing isn't thrilling enough!"

  Grass! Killing people isn't even exciting, what's the point of playing? Shen Qingyang was slightly surprised. In the eyes of an assassin, killing is just work, a task, there's no thrill or not. Only after succeeding and getting that sense of satisfaction and accomplishment can one feel the value of existence. And only then can they relax a bit, before waiting for the next task, seemingly endless, unless the task fails, and they become someone else's spoils!

  Is it cruel? Shen Qingyang didn't feel that way at all! The winner is the king, not only in the African jungle, but also in the city, so I want to be the king!

  "They're all here for the thrill! Inside, it's a treasure trove of wealth. If you have the ability, you can become a millionaire overnight and even capture the heart of a wealthy heiress. But if you fail, you might not even be left with your bones!"

  Grass! Shen Qingyang thought he had failed, but it was just being swept out of the door, or dying here.

  "It's cruel inside, with all sorts of ways to die. You have the right to choose how to seek thrills, but no right to choose how to die!"

  "I'm so scared!" Shen Qingyang gazed calmly at the demonic cave in front of him, and suddenly a sense of unease rose up from the bottom of his heart!

  "It's only when you know fear that you can be brave, you're great, go!" The old man hunched over and coughed a few times before hobbling away in the opposite direction.

  The sign of Tianyeyuan is indeed extraordinary, and the front door is lined with security guards wearing black suits. Each person has a walkie-talkie on their shoulder, holding a baton in their hand, and there are no extra expressions on their faces.

  Is that a hotel? Shen Qingyang had never seen such a hotel before, it looked a bit like the headquarters of a gang, but compared to a mercenary camp, it was much less impressive!

  As soon as the two of them reached the entrance, the security guard quickly walked over and expressionlessly glanced at Shen Qingyang: "We're fully booked, please leave now and come back another day!"

  Yu Bo turned back and smiled: "Young master, they are fully booked!"

  Young master? What's this old guy up to? Shen Qingyang remained unmoved, not even giving the security guard a glance. With a sudden burst of energy from his feet, all three security guards were sent flying before they could even react, smashing through the revolving door with colorful lights at "Tianze Garden", getting stuck in it and causing the door to stop rotating.

  So domineering! More security guards swarmed over from behind, and several rushed out of the hotel, but after seeing the three guys stuck in the revolving door, they surprisingly stood solemnly on both sides of the main entrance without rushing out. The security guards surrounding them immediately used their walkie-talkies to shout inside: Someone has intruded, please support...

  "Hey! Support?" Shen Qingyang didn't turn his head, the dark energy in his hand surged forth, a black shadow shot out with a sharp whistling sound, immediately followed by a heart-wrenching scream. Ah Bao slowly turned around, only to see that the security guard who was communicating was rolling on the ground, covered in blood, the walkie-talkie smashed to pieces, and the kid's ear was gone!

  A chill ran down Ou Bai's spine as he couldn't help but take a fearful glance at Shen Qingyang, his heart racing with shock: Blood Shadow was ruthless!

  The floor-to-ceiling door opened quietly, this is the main entrance to the hotel, while that revolving door was just a passage often open at ordinary times, this floor-to-ceiling door was the real gate!

  Shen Qingyang expressionlessly stared at the security guards standing solemnly on both sides of the front gate. His grandma, why didn't they come up?

  At this moment, two high-heeled shoes sounded from the depths of the hall, very rhythmic and loud. Judging from the sound of the high heels landing on the ground and the frequency, it should be a beautiful woman with a weight not exceeding 45 kilograms!

  Shen Qingyang stood at the door, calmly lowering his head in contemplation, waiting for his own unpredictable start.
