414: World 7: Please Put Down The Gun (8)

World 7: Please Put Down The Gun (8)

In a famous and largest restaurant in Qiping City, the place where the big announcement is being held for the Bai family show of power, countless people had already arrived. Even the usual temperamental and ruthless General who controlled the Qiping City with the military power in his hand had appeared.

Knowing how trigger-happy the man is with his gun, most people had put great distance just in case they suddenly took the ire of the well-known madman.

Particularly the fact that no one could predict how he will react to their words or actions. After all, one moment he is smiling so playfully, the next second, there is already a gun pointed at their forehead.

Or from what usually happens, he already shot the person to death.

"... It's so noisy…"

The adjutant, Yating, standing behind where the General is sitting didn't show any expression on his face despite the obvious annoyance on the General's face. After all, he had been used to the unpredictable mood of the person he vow to follow for the rest of his life.

"... Hmph, the one Wu made is so much better."

It was the first time Yating saw such a childish expression on the General's face along with an extremely proud eye while thinking of the young man he had taken back home before shooting a disgusted look toward the snack he had bitten.

General… did your tastebud become more difficult?

Yating had heard of people kidnapping a wife back home before, who would have thought he could witness the General do it?

Although, instead of a woman being taken away, the General had taken away a man with his adopted son home.

Although some people still assumed it was just a brand new interest that would disappear, later on, one of their General whimsical actions or simply because of the extremely delicious food the young man could make, but, Yating knew better than that.

It's obviously a moving heart.

Despite how casual and playful the General could be, it doesn't really mean that anyone can easily enter his heart and receive his utter attention. With the way things are, it was just a matter of time before everyone had a new Master in the Cui family.

Even the old General had already understood early on and accepted the fact that the General would have a husband instead of a wife. Besides, it's already a miracle that the General had taken a liking to someone.

Every one of them had assumed that their General would remain single for the rest of his life.

As for the situation of the General getting together with a man, well, it's quite an open secret that there are many people who like the same gender. After all, there is also a men's performance hall dedicated to such a situation in the City.

The only difference is, they would probably just take the man they fancy home, like bringing home a mistress, and would still marry a wife to continue the family bloodline.

No one would be as serious as the General when he finally married the little chef he had taken home.

It was just a matter of time.

While Cui Fen's adjutant is busy thinking about his love life, the handsome middle-aged man standing on the front stage finally started his announcement, calling the newlywed couple to stand in the front and introduce them.

"This old guy sure is showy. He doesn't even know how to restrain himself, completely showing his ambition off. Does he think I'm dead or something?"

Cui Fen's lip curled up in a sneer while there is a mock expression on his face toward the head of the Bai Family, one of the influential families in Qiping City, and trying to fight over the control on his hand.

No one can take what's mine, even if I wanted it or not doesn't matter one bit. I rather destroy it with my own hands instead of giving it to others.

"Yating, does this person honestly think I'll remain quiet and obediently let him do whatever he wants?"

"General, the power struggle in the underground families had finally calmed down."

It might be the entire reason the head of the Bai Family had finally made a showy announcement about the alliance with the Jiang family, who ended up in a dangerous situation a while ago.

It was quite easy to understand the power structure in Qiping City.

There is the General who holds the military power in his hands, making the Lord of the Qiping City already in a few years.

Then there's the Chamber of Commerce handling the trading and business around the City, the big families with wealth and influence, and lastly the families with power in the underground world.

And now, two of the influential figure in Qiping City had joined hands, well more likely, the Bai Family took over the Jiang family, thus spreading their influence and increasing the power in their hands, enough for people to fear them.

Of course, it's just a pipe dream if this man thought that it was enough to make their General obedient.

Yating could only shake his head toward the naïve head of the Bai Family.

Their General is a person who wouldn't play nice and someone who wouldn't become obedient.

Well… Yating suddenly remembers the little chef left in the Manor.

At least, there is a special individual their General would soon become obedient.

Anyway, the only reason their General had even managed the Qiping City was that it was where the Old General and his departed wife had grown up, and it was also the place where the General parent met each other.

The Qiping City had an important meaning to the loved ones of the General.

Even though it was unbelievable, the cause of it had been from a sentimental viewpoint, it wasn't because of ambition and greed for power that the Qiping City had been under the Cui Family's control.

Yating could already imagine the bloodbath that would take once these people cross the line and finally give an enough reason for their General Fen to break free from the bare constraint he had been trying to control from truly rampaging.

However, before he could continue thinking, the General's lazy posture had suddenly straightened up before a continuous sound of a gunshot resounded out, shocking everyone.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

It was so sudden that only one person could react, well, more likely, could detect the sudden danger in their surroundings.

Cui Fen's eyes narrowed with his gaze flickering in three directions, which was the direction where the attackers had shot.

The attacker shot at the exact time at a precise moment, completely showing that it was a prepared attack. And the people who had done it are extremely skilled enough to infiltrate today's event.

After all, various influential and powerful people attended the celebration.

The security should have been extremely rigorous, particularly when the Bai Family wanted to use the celebration as an open way to show off their power, which they utterly failed to do because of the unexpected attack.

"Heh, that is why a person shouldn't be conspicuous. Look, it quickly comes to bite them down."

Despite the chaos happening around them, Cui Fen remained seated on his chair, narrowed eyes watching the people panic with a playful attitude, completely showing an amazing calmness despite the serious and dangerous situation around him.

After all, he could also be shot next just based on his rank and power compared to the people in the large hall.

Of course, a curiosity flashes in Cui Fen's peach blossom eyes after turning his gaze to where the most chaotic and dangerous place is, which is where the shooting occurred.

On the stage, the newlywed young woman was shakily hugging her husband while sitting on the ground with her despairing eyes gazing upon his injured legs.

Cui Fen's eyes squint, the bullet should precisely hit the newlywed young man's kneecap. It was a cruel intent of making the young man disable for life instead of simply taking his life.

It is simply an act done to torture the young man.

It could also mean that the attacker had a certain grievance and hatred just based on it.

Although…

"Should I say that person is still lucky? He could have lost both of his legs."

From where Cui Fen could see where the blood is oozing out, one shot seemed to have missed the right kneecap, and only ended up hitting the young man's calf.

He could heal one of them instead of having to lose both of his legs.2

"But the young woman sure is extremely lucky."

The third shot only softly brushes the young woman's arm, causing blood to flow down her arms, and staining her beautiful dress.

However…

A quick flash of admiration showed in Cui Fen's pupils after carefully observing and investigating the condition of the attack.

"Instead of targeting the woman, the attacker seemed to have a playful attitude toward her."

Because for the last shot taken, Cui Fen's peach blossom eyes couldn't help but landed at the head of the Bai family surrounded by his people.

Compared to the married couple, the last one should have been a shot intending to kill, and yet, the supposedly vital attack was once again evaded, although it looks like the older man would need to be carefully treated since his injuries are still severe.

With each shot, it was quite easy to figure out what the attacker had planned to do.

"This family sure is lucky, the entire situation could have become far worse."

The newlywed young man from the Jiang family saved one of his legs instead of having a permanent disability from both of them while the head of the Bai Family saved his life even though his condition is dangerous.

Cui Fen suddenly felt a certain suspiciousness, instinctively feeling that there is something wrong with these people. Particularly after remembering all the events that had occurred in Qiping City over the past few months.

"Let's go."

After Cui Fen and his adjutant left the chaotic place, he couldn't help but pause with his eyelids twitching when he was about to enter the car.

Then a few seconds later, soon the sound of gunshots could be heard from afar, showing how the guards had finally found the attacker.

"General, what's wrong?"

Cui Fen gently places his palm on his left chest and felt the powerful and quick beating of his heartbeat. He only fell silent for a short while before swiftly turning around and quickly walking in the direction where the gunshot is.

"General???"

Something is wrong, my little chef keeps flashing in my mind.

…

"Snow!"

In a certain dark alley, Snow slowly blinks his surprised eyes before reaching over to gently place his hand on his bleeding stomach.

He could have been able to dodge that shot without a problem and yet, an accident that shouldn't happen came out and caused him to be shot instead.

"It's alright, the bullet misses my organ. Flake, we need to go."

They are about to be surrounded even though their escape route had been prepared a long time ago. There is definitely something unusual or unforeseen power getting in their way.

And based on what they had done, especially when a chosen person was affected by their planned attack after they caught a quick clue on it.

Then it wouldn't be surprising if a cheat skill given by the World Rule Will toward one of the chosen people is making their situation extremely complicated and far more dangerous than it should be.

Soon, Snow once again started running in a certain direction with an extremely pale face while comforting a worried Flake in their mind link as they try to make their escape once again.

Along the way, he couldn't help but recall the extraordinary alluring appearance of his lover while putting pressure on his bleeding stomach.

Ah… it seemed I won't be able to go back to my General like I thought I could.
