Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 30 Counterattack

It seems that no matter which world you're in, the rules are always the same: the strong prey on the weak.

This is even more evident in this fantasy world, a world where power resides within oneself; as long as you have the biggest fist, you can be the rule-maker.

...

The brewery in Blue Silver Village has started producing wine, and two shops in Soto City have opened, with business gradually getting back on track.

Yuan Changqing's holiday is almost over, and they are preparing to return to Tiandou City to start preparing for the new semester.

However, there are always some blind people who, relying on their power, come to his doorstep.

If we don't subdue them once and for all, trouble will definitely keep piling up in the future.

Through Yuan Changqing and his group's investigation, they learned that the group causing trouble for his shop was a fairly powerful gang in Soto City.

This gang usually bullies small merchants who have no power, relying on their strength.

They would demand protection money from the small vendors, threatening to stab them in the back and beat them up if they refused. Unless they were caught red-handed, they were simply out of luck.

Since you have no evidence, the City Lord's Mansion can't do anything about it; they can only issue a warning.

They were also clever, selective in their targets, avoiding the businesses of powerful or aristocratic families and instead targeting small merchants with no background.

Moreover, there are several such gangs in Soto City. As long as you don't cause widespread resentment in Soto City, the officials will just turn a blind eye.

These gangs were careful with the money they collected, ensuring that no one was left without a profit. Small vendors, not wanting to suffer, gritted their teeth and endured it.

Furthermore, nobles also benefit from this, as the officials are all nobles, which is why they look down on commoners.

Seeing that a new shop had opened, and after some investigation, it turned out to be run by ordinary people and doing quite well, so they started collecting protection money.

A group of thugs arrived at the shop and asked the young woman a question.

"Which one of you is the boss? Come out here, we need to talk to him."

Hearing that arrogant tone, the aunt knew that the visitor was up to no good.

"That's me. What's up? What do you need me for?"

"That's good. You've just arrived and don't know the rules, so we won't pursue it. Just pay this month's security fee."

"What security fee? I don't know anything about that. Who are you people?"

"You don't need to know who we are. Each shop receives 2 Gold Soul Coins per month, and you have two, making a total of four Gold Soul Coins. Hurry up and pay."

The aunt was not one to be trifled with either, and said, "If you don't explain clearly, why should I pay?"

"Anyway, I've already informed you. If you don't pay, someone will come after you for it."

After the thug finished speaking, he left. At this moment, people from the nearby shops came over and told the aunt about some of the unspoken rules in the city.

After my aunt and uncle returned to Lanyin Village that evening, they told each other about what had happened that day. After discussing it, they decided to wait and see.

A few more days passed, and nothing happened. Those people didn't come to cause trouble. Yuan Changqing and his group had gathered some information during these days.

They felt that those people were definitely plotting something, so they all became more vigilant.

Sure enough, when my aunt and uncle returned to their residence in the city, a group of people surrounded them in a secluded place.

"Beautiful lady, I'm here personally to collect your security fee. Will you pay or not?"

A man who appeared to be a leader spoke slowly.

The aunt said, "You're that damn gang, the kind that preys on us common folk, sucking our hard-earned money, aren't you!"

"So what if it is? Don't even think about running away today. You have to pay this money whether you like it or not. But now, not only do you have to pay, you also have to play with these old men before this is over."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaofan was enraged and immediately took action.

"Linglong, why waste words with them? Let's cripple them first."

"Fourth Soul Skill: Fire Feathers Fill the Sky."

Large swishes of burning feathers shot towards the thugs.

"Ah, it's the Soul Emperor."

"It's over, run away."

Upon seeing Ye Xiaofan's six spirit rings, the gang thugs realized they had messed with someone they couldn't afford to offend, and they all began to flee.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Vajra Lock."

"Fifth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Devour."

...

My aunt and her family lived in a small courtyard, looking at a group of people who were tied up.

The aunt said to Yuan Changqing, "Changqing, what should we do with them? Should we kill them all?"

"Spare me, young master!"

"Spare me!"

A plea for mercy rang out.

Yuan Changqing said, "Let's seal their soul power first, and then we'll talk about it later."

Then the group sealed the soul power of each person and threw them into a room filled with miscellaneous items.

The house my aunt and her family rented was a small courtyard house with plenty of space. Everyone went to the living room.

Yuan Changqing said, "This time, we must wipe out this gang once and for all to deter other forces, otherwise trouble will come looking for us again in the future."

Uncle-in-law said, "That's right. Although we're not afraid of trouble right now, if we don't clean it up properly this time, we're afraid there will be endless troubles and we won't be able to develop in peace."

"Okay, we'll interrogate the leader later to see what their situation is. Then my uncle, Catherine, and I will storm their lair and take them all down."

"As for the people here, we'll deal with them directly and then dump them outside the city. We're going to have some bloodshed too."

Afterwards, Yuan Changqing and his men interrogated the leader, who had probably been living a comfortable life for too long and was very afraid of death.

He rattled off the details of their gang, but then he was no longer of any use. Yuan Changqing killed him outright, and the others were dealt with by his uncle and his men.

The strongest person in this gang is a high-level Soul King, who is also the gang leader. The rest are low-level Soul Masters and ordinary people.

...

Late at night, in a large courtyard in the western part of Soto City, four people appeared outside: Yuan Changqing, Yuan Linglong, Ye Xiaofan, and Catherine.

After entering the compound, they didn't waste any words and immediately took action, eliminating the lookout.

They then searched for other targets, working in pairs. They easily dealt with the small fry, but still managed to make a commotion.

Some of those at the Soul Master level still had some resistance, and so their leader also realized that something was wrong.

Seeing Yuan Changqing and his men enter and start killing, he shouted angrily, "Who are you people, daring to cause trouble for our Black Tiger Gang?"

Yuan Changqing and his group didn't say much, because talking too much could easily lead to them being killed, hehe.

"Who do you care who we are? You messed with the wrong people, and you bunch of scum, today is your death day."

After saying that, Yuan Changqing and his men immediately took action.

"Kill! Fourth Soul Skill: Blade Storm!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Vajra Lock."

"Fourth Soul Skill: Fire Feathers Fill the Sky."

"Third Soul Skill, Golden Eagle Claw Shadow."

Upon seeing the attack, the opponent also quickly summoned their martial souls and began to fight desperately. Today, two Soul Emperors and two Soul Kings have appeared.

"Third Soul Skill, Black Tiger Body."

"Fourth Soul Skill, Black Tiger Claws Out the Heart."
