50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 373 The Revenge of the Dead
During the Prohibition era of the 1920s and 30s, there was the "Tulsa Massacre".

On May 31, 1921, a large number of 3KD rioters attacked Greenwood, Tulsa, Oklahoma, then one of the wealthiest black neighborhoods.

They used gunfire, arson, and even bombing raids to turn the entire Greenwood district into ruins.

Subsequent statistics showed that approximately 1200 buildings were destroyed, more than 300 people lost their lives, casualties were incalculable, and the property of nearly 10,000 people was wiped out.

The violence lasted for an entire day, yet the Tulsa city government and police did nothing, instead standing by and doing nothing.

The military was not forced to intervene until noon the following day.

What's even more shocking is that the M country government blocked all news about this matter, and no one was prosecuted or even condemned in any way.

That's true arrogance.

Compared to the Imperial Knights of today, they are truly like rats in a gutter, engaging in petty squabbles.

He also obtained the information he wanted to know from these people.

They did receive money to carry out assassinations. Because the mission aligned with their ideology and offered financial reward, they accepted.

The assassin has been selected, and Sun Zhiwei naturally received the complete list of personnel.

Since they're like rats in the gutter, there's no need to let them go.

He decided to take action tonight. Before that, he needed to rest. These past few hours had been tough not only for those guys but also for him.

After changing into clean clothes in the car, he arrived in downtown Houston, found a hotel to stay in, washed up, and fell asleep on the bed.

In the afternoon, he was awakened by a nightmare and could not fall back asleep.

So, we simply checked out of the room and went out to eat.

After finishing his meal, he drove around aimlessly, and along the way, he even stole several buckets of red dye from a printing and dyeing factory warehouse.

He waited until it got dark and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street before he began to act.

That night, he transformed into a vengeful ghost, wandering the streets and alleys of Houston, constantly taking away secret members of the Imperial Knights from different buildings.

Among them are the wealthy, lawyers, workers, and students. The darkness of human nature does not discriminate based on a person's profession, and tonight is the time for them to pay the price.

On the floor of every Imperial Knight he took from, he painted a 'Revenge Blade' in red dye.

The legend of the 'Revenge Knife' originates from an anti-Christian who used a strange knife to kill nineteen Christian priests.

The son of one of the priests then used that knife to kill the murderer in revenge.

Later, the strangely shaped knife gradually became known to the public because it appeared at the scenes of various revenge murders.

Legend has it that it can find those with grudges and help them kill their enemies. This knife gradually became a symbol of revenge for Westerners.

Sun Zhiwei is going to eliminate the threat posed by the 'Imperial Knights' today, but he has no intention of revealing his identity.

Then wouldn't it be perfectly logical to take action under the guise of revenge by the victim's family?

By 3 a.m., he had finally searched the entire city and taken away 375 secret members of the Imperial Knights.

They were all core members of the Imperial Knights, their hands stained with blood, and they deserved to die.

However, that's not enough; their crimes must also be exposed.

After the operation to collect the bodies was over, he rushed to the place where the first Imperial Knights were handling the victims' remains. It was a secluded grove of trees. He found the pit where the bodies were buried, buried a suitable amount of explosives in the soil above, and then painted a 'vengeful sword' on a large tree nearby.

Once everything was set up, he lit the fuse from a distance and then quickly drove away.

A few minutes later, a huge explosion rang out in the grove, and the shockwave made windows within a kilometer radius rattle.

Soon, police arrived at the scene of the explosion, but when they saw the piles of bones exposed below the crater, they were all horrified.

This is a major case! The police officer in charge quickly reported it to his superiors.

Before the Houston Police Chief could receive the news, five more explosions rang out in different locations throughout the city.

Although the explosions occurred in remote locations each time and no one was injured, each explosion site revealed a burial pit.

After the police station registered the six bombings, they received hundreds more calls reporting missing persons.

That night, the whole of Houston was in an uproar. Some said there was a war, some said there was a gang fight, and all sorts of rumors were flying around.

The next day, another rumor began to spread rapidly throughout the city.

It turns out that the blood-red 'revenge knife' depicted in paintings was found at the crime scenes of all six bombings and hundreds of missing persons cases last night.

This is actually a revenge case.

The police department immediately linked the two different types of cases together.

Many things cannot withstand scrutiny. Those members of the Imperial Knights were able to remain secret only because their ordinary identities were aboveboard and they were never suspected.

If you really investigate, the whereabouts of many of them are not a secret. After all, they are just a group of amateur thugs, not high-IQ criminals.

Some of the remains were from people who had been murdered recently, so they were quickly identified.

Once the whereabouts of the missing persons were verified, the case gradually became clear, and the Imperial Knights, a 3KD group, came to light.

Faced with immense pressure from the public and the media, the Houston city government had no choice but to instruct the police department to solve the case quickly.

With the clues clear, the police department had to give their superiors an explanation even though the chain of evidence was not yet complete.

So, on January 29, the day the delegation arrived in Washington, the Imperial Knights were scapegoated as the culprits and faced the wrath of the people of Houston.

Those hundreds of disappearances were also characterized as 'revenge of the dead'.

Due to public pressure, the families of the missing persons dared not cause any more trouble, and the case of the disappearance of hundreds of people was left unresolved.

Sun Zhiwei, who had already returned to Washington, simply scoffed when he saw the news in the newspaper.

This is very Western, isn't it?

The destruction of the Imperial Knights did not cause much of a stir in the United States, because the news focus these days was the visit of the Eastern leader.

Although Sun Zhiwei was not a formal security personnel, he had obtained a guard's certificate and was in plainclothes, protecting the leader's perimeter throughout the entire process.

His trip to Houston a few days ago greatly expanded his spatial range, allowing him to monitor longer distances remotely.

Everyone who enters his spatial coverage area cannot escape his X-ray vision surveillance.
