Underworld Chronicles: Qiao Si's Strategist, Xiao Ke, and Wang Weifan

After Xiao Ke was released, he was naturally put in solitary confinement for another 7 days. His three brothers were not spared either, and were all put in solitary confinement for 7 days.

When Xiao Ke and the others were released one by one, they were all pale and thin, unable to lift their arms or lift their legs, as if they had been skinned alive.

At that time, the prison cells were already in short supply. The small rooms for solitary confinement were extremely small. In some places, they even used iron cages to lock people up like dogs. They couldn't stand or lie down. It was said that after a few hours, their bodies would go numb, and they would feel like they were living a life worse than death.

Although Xiao Ke and the others weren't locked in cages, the room was dark and damp, and incredibly cramped with no light. It was so stuffy that it was hard to breathe. They were only given one meal a day. After a week, it would be strange if they didn't suffer greatly.

After they came out, Wang Zhi, Zhang Guangyue, and Wei Qinggang were all furious. During their time out, the three of them went to Xiao Ke's side.

"Brother, this Master Wu almost killed you. Let's find a way to cancel his account," Zhang Guangyue said first.

"Yes, it's come to a life-or-death situation now. It's either us or him, it's either us or him. Brother, let's do it!" Wei Qinggang chimed in.

Xiao Ke didn't say anything. He lit a cigarette, looked at Wang Zhi and asked, "Cousin, what's your opinion?"

"I don't think we can act rashly. If we kill him, we won't be happy either," Wang Zhi said.

Xiao Ke exhaled a puff of smoke and slowly said, "Killing someone is easy, but killing someone silently and without leaving any evidence is difficult. Do you two have a way to kill this Master Wu without anyone knowing?"

Zhang Guangyue and Wei Qinggang exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads and remained silent, because they knew that they had no ability to do so, not only inside the heavily guarded, crowded high walls, but also outside.

"So, killing Master Wu would only bring us a sense of satisfaction, but it would also do us no good," Xiao Ke continued.

"But brother, if we don't mess with him, he'll destroy us!" Zhang Guangyue said, looking up.

"I'll talk to him about this. I'll make sure he stays at peace with us until we leave," Little K said confidently.

As soon as Xiao Ke finished speaking, they looked up and saw that not far away, Master Wu, whose eyes were wrapped in thick bandages, was leading a group of people, staring menacingly at them.

"Brother, those neighbors are up to no good again," Wei Qinggang said.

"Let's go, let's have a talk with him." Xiao Ke said, walking towards Master Wu, followed closely by his three musketeers and dozens of his underlings.

More and more people are now following Xiao Ke. Xiao Ke is good at gambling, fighting, and has a good business sense. Following him means you can live a life of luxury and have girls to cuddle with at night. Anyone who doesn't follow him is a fool.

When Wu Ye and his henchmen saw Xiao Ke and his group approaching, they all bulged their eyes, puffed out their chests, and stood up like roosters about to enter a cockfight, their feathers bristling.

Xiao Ke walked calmly to Master Wu's side and said, "Master Wu, would you like to have a word with me?"

"Damn it, what are you talking about? Are you planning a sneak attack?" one of Wu Ye's henchmen cursed at Xiao Ke.

"Damn it!" Zhang Guangyue stepped forward, grabbed the underling's fingers, and twisted them backward forcefully. The underling's face instantly showed an expression of constipation.

"Ah~ Damn it, let me go, let me go~" the henchman cried out, wincing in pain.

"Alright, Guangyue, we're here to negotiate peace, not to fight. What, you, the mighty Master Wu, are you afraid?" Xiao Ke said.

Upon hearing Xiao Ke's order, Zhang Guangyue released the henchman's fingers. "Damn it, if you keep babbling, I'll break them off."

"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? Don't move, let's see what tricks they can pull." Master Wu said, leading Xiao Ke to a corner of the high wall.

Xiao Ke and Wu Ye's underlings glared at each other, each harboring resentment and discontent, waiting for their leader's order to start a brawl.

After Xiao Ke arrived at the corner, he sat down. Master Wu also sat down on the ground to see what Xiao Ke was up to.

Xiao Ke took out a pack of good cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out, and handed it to Master Wu. Master Wu glanced at him and put it in his mouth.

Xiao Ke took out a lighter and lit it for Master Wu, then took out a cigarette for himself and started smoking.

Everyone calls you Master Wu, so I'll call you Master Wu too. Master Wu, I apologize for taking one of your eyes. Xiao Ke said sincerely.

"Hmph, if apologies were enough, I'd try gouging out one of your eyes too," Master Wu said angrily.

"I know I went a bit too far. Anyone would be furious if this happened to them, but Master Wu, you were the one who tried to kill me first. I only did it in desperation," Xiao Ke said, changing the subject.

"Damn it, stop beating around the bush. We're all men, just tell me how you want to solve this!" Master Wu said impatiently.

Alright, since Master Wu is so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush. You want to kill me, but it's only because I stole your fame and fortune. I'll be out in a few months, and these things that are important to you are not important to me.

I'm here to talk to you sincerely. If we can get along peacefully for the next few months, half of the profits from my business will be yours, and once I'm out, the whole business will be yours.

"Also, I promise you, I'll find a way to get you medical parole after I get out," Xiao Ke said, looking at Master Wu.

Kid, are you trying to dangle a carrot in front of me? Are you trying to play the workplace game with me, trying to fool me with some fancy promise?

Master Wu, I, Xiao Ke, always keep my word and never go back on my word.

What if I don't agree? Master Wu glanced at Xiao Ke sideways.

Then there's only one other way: we keep going, but only one of us can get out alive. A chilling green light gleamed in Xiao Ke's eyes.

To be honest, when Master Wu was blinded by Xiao Ke last time, the battle-hardened Master Wu was really scared. Xiao Ke's recklessness and ruthlessness were things he had never encountered before.

In fact, Master Wu didn't want to continue fighting. He knew that if he continued, he wouldn't gain any advantage, and he might even lose his life.

The reason why Master Wu hasn't backed down is because of his pride. After being the boss for so many years, it's unbearable for anyone to have their limelight stolen by a newbie. He also can't explain it to his subordinates.

Seeing Master Wu's hesitant expression, Xiao Ke knew that Master Wu was definitely tempted, but just wanted to find a way to back down.

"Hey, Mr. Wu, go back and think it over. We'll be here again in three days, and I'll offer you a cigarette as usual. If you take it, it means you agree with my idea, and we can live peacefully from now on. If you don't take it, then we'll start fighting, fighting to the death," Xiao Ke said.

What choice will Master Wu make three days from now? Stay tuned for the next episode.
