Chapter 28 The Rumors of the Demon

Although Uncle Qi found the $100,000 extremely offensive, he would not refuse it because of that.

As a gang, how could they refuse money that's offered to them?

"Yes."

After Uncle Qi gave the order, the muscular man next to him responded with a "Yes," then walked a few steps to the table, reached out and lifted the bag containing 100,000 US dollars into his own hand.

Then he strode back behind his seventh uncle and left the three-story house of the Erin family with him.

·······

With a loud bang, the muscular man known as Little Yang slammed the door shut behind him. He then strode over to Uncle Qi, opened a car door for him, and helped Uncle Qi into the car.

After entering the carriage and closing the door, Xiao Li, carrying the money, couldn't help but ask, "Seventh Uncle, why are we just leaving like this? Ten thousand US dollars to settle this matter? How is that possible? Wouldn't Yuan Li and the others have died too cheaply?"

"Besides, that kid talks a lot of nonsense, not a single word of truth comes out of his mouth. How could Yuan Li and the others be killed by forbidden objects left behind by the devil? There is no such thing as a devil in this world..."

Before Xiao Li could finish speaking, Uncle Qi closed his eyes, seemingly resting, and said softly, "Really not?"

"what?"

The muscular burly man, Xiao Li, slowly typed a question mark "?" on his forehead.

What does that mean?

Does the devil really exist in this world?

Uncle Qi didn't let Xiao Li continue guessing, nor did he keep him in suspense. Instead, he said with a hint of reminiscence, "When I was young, at the height of the Loyalty Hall, we planned to expand beyond New York and establish Chinatowns in other states of the Union. At that time, I was sent to Texas, you know? There we met a demon, a real demon."

"Swords, even guns and ammunition, have absolutely no effect on demons."

"The seventy or eighty people we were sent out were all slaughtered by that demon single-handedly, leaving only three of us, including myself. If it weren't for the appearance of the legendary Ghost Rider from Texas, who burned the demon to death with his raging hellfire, even the three of us probably wouldn't have survived."

"Since then, our Loyalty Hall has turned Texas into a forbidden zone, and no one has ever set foot on that continent again..."

Inside the train carriage.

The two muscular men, Yang and Li, along with the driver, stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Do demons really exist in this world?"

If it weren't for the fact that these words were spoken by their highly respected and revered Seventh Uncle, Yang and Li, the two burly men, would never have believed that this was true.

Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Uncle, is it related to this that we took $100,000 from that kid's house and left?"

Uncle Qi glanced at the burly man surnamed Yang, then nodded in surprise and said, "That kid is definitely not as simple as he seems. How could he know things that even the police don't? And how could he have entered the sealed-off Morning Star Bar so many times that day?"

"Who knows what that kid is hiding? We can't act rashly before we figure out his background."

"Moreover, this time he told us the real cause of Yuan Li and the others' deaths, and our Zhongyi Hall is indebted to him."

After saying that, Uncle Qi closed his eyes again and fell into deep thought.

In the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness, no one knew the horror of demons better than him.

Therefore, when Erin said that Yuan Li and the others died from a forbidden object left behind by the devil, Uncle Qi really believed it.

"Why would something like this exist in the Water Ghost Gang's territory? Do they have some kind of connection with the devil?"

Originally, Uncle Seven wanted to take advantage of the Water Ghost Gang's leaderlessness and weakened strength to seize some of the Water Ghost Gang's assets to make up for the losses of the Loyalty Hall.

But who knew that the Water Ghost Gang would get involved with such a deadly thing as a forbidden relic left behind by the devil.

Who knows, there might be something similar hidden within the Water Ghost Gang?

Uncle Qi didn't want the Loyalty Hall, which he had painstakingly protected, to suddenly erupt like the Water Ghost Gang's lair, causing his family to be destroyed and his people to die because of what he had left behind.

[Forget it, our lives are more important. We, the Loyal and Righteous Hall, will stay out of the mess caused by the Water Ghost Gang.]

···········

On the other side, after Seventh Uncle and the others left.

Erin walked to the window, watched their convoy drive away, and let out a long sigh.

"Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness, Uncle Yuan..."

Yuan Li is a bachelor. He was once married, but after a few years, his wife got tired of living in fear all the time because of the nature of his job and divorced him.

Even her daughter with Yuan Lisheng was awarded to him by the court.

Clearly, the court did not believe that a father with a gang background could provide his child with a happy childhood.

After divorcing Yuan Li, his ex-wife did not remarry, but instead took on the responsibility of raising their daughter alone.

In the Federation, it is not easy for a woman to raise her daughter alone. Over the years, if it weren't for Uncle Yuan sending them a monthly allowance, they probably wouldn't be able to make ends meet.

Now that Uncle Yuan is dead, what will their lives be like from now on?

"I remember, Uncle Yuan's ex-wife and the others also live in Chinatown. I'll try to find some time to visit them!"

If it weren't for helping him out, Uncle Yuan wouldn't have gone to that damned Morning Star Bar; and if he hadn't gone to Morning Star Bar, he wouldn't have died.

Putting aside the familial relationship between the two parties, just based on this point alone, Erin could not ignore the daughter left behind by Uncle Yuan.

·······

As dusk settles, the city lights begin to twinkle.

As night fell, after finishing his meditation practice for the day, Erin rubbed his lower body, which was a little numb from sitting, then picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of water.

of course.

This time, Erin wasn't practicing meditation on the Cosmic Brain diagram, but rather adjusting and familiarizing himself with his mental state using the meditation method carried in the Diviner's Potion.

Although this meditation method is not as powerful or profound as the Cosmic Brain Meditation Method, it can still quickly relieve mental fatigue, concentrate the mind, and slightly improve Erin's attention and memory in a short period of time.

After finishing her water, Erin leaned against the headboard, then picked up a book she had just bought that day about divination, laid it out on her lap, and began to carefully read it by the light of the bedside reading lamp.
