C13 Massacre

The next morning, Chen Xing came to Aaliyah's gun shop once again.

He was in high spirits and full of energy. He was already in the ranks of the evolvers, so his self-confidence naturally rose by a lot. However, he did not expect Aaliyah to say something like this.

"Ah, you came to pay me back!"

Her joyful and surprised expression and her expectant gaze were like a wife who was waiting for her husband to come back from hunting and was ready to receive a gift.

Chen Xing was embarrassed to see this. He smiled awkwardly and said, "In a few days…"

"If you don't want to pay me back, then why are you here?" Aaliyah's face turned cold, and her temperature dropped to zero. She asked angrily.

When she saw Chen Xing just now, she did indeed feel a light in front of her eyes. There seemed to be a change in his body. However, she could not tell what it was exactly. She felt that he was a bit more handsome. However, what was the use of being handsome? In this world, having money and power was the way to go.

"There's something…" Chen Xing tried his best to slow down his tone, making his voice seem calm and peaceful. "I want to discuss something with you."

"Could it be…" Aaliyah suddenly revealed an exaggerated expression and said, "You want to chase me?"

"Uh…" Chen Xing was immediately choked. He had forgotten all the lines he had thought of.

"Just give up. You won't have a chance…" Aaliyah deliberately twisted her waist and raised her chin as she said arrogantly, "You are too weak, and you are a poor guy. You even ask a woman for money. I have no other feelings other than contempt for you."

"You..." Chen Xing was tongue-tied by her words. He was in a bad mood. In the end, he squeezed out a few words with great difficulty, "Friend, is there a need to be so serious?"

"Unless you return the money." Aaliyah changed the topic and said.

"I have something to discuss with you." Chen Xing took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"Before you return the money, there is nothing we can discuss." Aaliyah said expressionlessly.

"When I left the city a few days ago, I was followed." Chen Xing told her the whole story. He added, "I think this is related to your interests." His hidden meaning was, "When I die, your money will be gone."

How could Aaliyah not hear it? She immediately frowned and gritted her teeth, "What do you want?"

"I have not been here for long. I am not familiar with the town's environment. I want to hear your opinion." Chen Xing said.

Although Aaliyah was so angry that her chest was trembling, she still suppressed her anger and said, "If you encounter such a thing, you can report to the garrison in the town."

"But the problem is..." Chen Xing hesitated, "who should I look for?"

Aaliyah crossed her arms and looked at him with disdain. She said, "Go to the garrison's Wong Bo, but don't say that I taught him. He is the same as you, a toad who only wants to eat swan meat."

"Why would he help me?" Chen Xing frowned and asked. Although he was being mocked by the other party, he still chose to remain silent. After all, he was now under the roof of the other party, so he had to lower his head when it was necessary.

"Of course it's not free." Aaliyah said, "I still need some favors. For example..." She hinted, "A few gold coins."

"Thank you." Chen Xing nodded and left.

Ten minutes later, he walked to the end of the north side of the town and walked around the outer wall of the mayor's mansion. He arrived at the garrison's barracks.

The so-called barracks were actually two dormitories, and they looked like a few hundred people.

Orchid Town was one of the many towns in the Northern Wilderness, and it was also the first line of defense for the Red Dragon Dukedom, and even the Dragon Saliva River United Kingdom. Its main purpose was to monitor and defend against the threats from the Black Death Forest.

Through the report of the guards, Chen Xing quickly saw one of the three vice-captains of the Orchid Town Garrison, Wong Bo.

He was a muscular man who was about 1.8 meters tall. He was wearing a military vest, and his exposed muscles were extremely strong. His eyes were deep, and his cheekbones were also taller than ordinary people. At a glance, one could tell that he was a ruthless person.

"Who introduced you here?" Wong Bo asked as he bit down on a large cigar and looked at Chen Xing.

"A friend." Chen Xing said as he placed the small money pouch he had prepared on the desk.

"Who is it?" Wong Bo suddenly raised his voice, and his gaze became fierce. It was as if he would draw his blade and kill if he didn't agree with him.

"Old dog," Chen Xing said. He purposely said the words "Dog King", but he was vague in order to avoid any problems. Who knew if the other party had any conflicts with the Dog King, or if they were close to each other?

"Oh..." Wong Bo frowned and pondered for a moment before asking, "What is it?"

It was only then that Chen Xing finally heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that he had made the right bet. Then, he told Wong Bo everything that had happened that day.

"These bastards have really turned against us. They even dared to touch the citizens!" After hearing that, Wong Bo flew into a rage and slammed the table as he stood up. Then, he roared and gathered his subordinates.

Half an hour later, a team of fully armed guards entered the refugee gathering area in the west of Orchid Town.

There were all kinds of colorful tents and sheds everywhere. Some old people and children stood in the middle of the open space. Beside them were burning iron oil barrels. They looked at the soldiers blankly and the black muzzles in their hands.

"You filthy rats, parasites of the kingdom!" Wong Bo stood on the jeep and shouted at the refugees with a fierce expression, "Since the mayor is pitiful and allowed you to live here, what about you? You keep causing trouble every two or three days, disregarding the benevolence and kindness of the mayor. Just a few days ago, this citizen of the kingdom..." Wong Bo pointed at Chen Xing and shouted loudly, "He was actually attacked by you!"

"It seems that we have overlooked it." Wong Bo sighed, "We have been too lenient to you, so you have forgotten your own identity."

Hearing Wong Bo's words, Chen Xing frowned slightly. Although he was standing up for him, he was not happy at all. Instead, he had a bad premonition.

Just as he was thinking, a roar suddenly sounded from above.

"Open fire, kill them!"

Following Wong Bo's order, a row of tongues of fire shot out. In an instant, the area was in chaos. The old man and the children were crying and cursing as they ran in all directions, trying to avoid the rain of bullets.

In the midst of the chaos, the brazier was overturned and the tent was set on fire. The flames rose into the sky.

Chen Xing's eyebrows knitted into a knot. He clenched his fists, but he did not dare to make a sound. He hated this kind of warning and intimidation. Even the excuse was so weak. The innocent people died, but the real murderer was still free.

In an instant, blood bloomed and corpses lay on the ground. The flames soared into the sky.

"Kid..." As if he had sensed Chen Xing's unhappiness, Wong Bo patted his shoulder and said, "These refugees are like rats in a pit. Every once in a while, they will be killed. Let them know who is the owner of this place." Then he continued, "We don't have any evidence and can't find those people. So we can only warn them and make them behave."

Chen Xing did not say anything. He just nodded and then bade farewell to Wong Bo. He said that he was tired and wanted to go back to rest.

Looking at Chen Xing's back, Wong Bo spat out a mouthful of saliva and whispered to a subordinate beside him, "Let them stop first and figure out this person's background." That subordinate nodded and quietly left.

The person who followed Chen Xing that day was sent out by Wong Bo after he received the news.
