I searched and fought in America.

"Fuck! Boss Luca is injured, the defense can't hold, and we need to get back to him right away!"

Rosen ducked back under cover, dodging a burst of stray bullets. A look of shock and anger flashed across his face as he yelled at Mordo and the others beside him, "Those who don't want to die, come with me! Go support the boss, we're retreating!"

After saying that, he didn't even look at the reactions of the crowd, raised his gun and fired a few shots randomly ahead, then turned around, crouched down, and disappeared into the ruins on the side.

This series of movements was fluid and seamless, without any hesitation.

Seeing his "tough guy" brother leave, Mo Duo didn't dare to linger. He shouted "Let's go!" and followed after him.

The remaining five Bloodfang gang members exchanged glances. Although they found the Chinese face somewhat unfamiliar, seeing that Modo was following closely and that the right flank had indeed been overwhelmed by the fang gang's crowd, their survival instincts drove them to pick up their guns and follow.

Rosen ran in the lead, navigating the complex terrain of the community with ease. He could always pinpoint the blind spots of cover, avoiding being killed by stray bullets on the battlefield.

This was the blue skill [Battlefield Intuition] that he received as a reward for opening the first treasure chest. This skill helps him detect the safest path on the battlefield.

Seeing how experienced he was, the gang members behind Rosen had largely dispelled their initial doubts about a Chinese leader.

With their departure, the already precarious right-wing defense line completely collapsed.

After escaping two blocks, the two Black men at the back of the line finally came to their senses.

"Hey buddy, does this count as desertion? According to the gang rules, we'd be skinned alive."

A tall, thin Black man, panting as he ran, asked his companion a question.

"Huh? Isn't that our little leader? I see everyone's following him..."

His companion was stunned.

"The leader? That yellow-skinned one? Apart from the accountant, who in our gang is qualified for leadership? How could the boss possibly let a Chinese person lead the team?"

The tall, thin Black man felt increasingly uneasy.

"Then..." His companion's face turned pale. "I don't know him. I really don't know him."

Just as the two were filled with doubt and surprise, Rosen suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Beside a convenience store riddled with bullet holes, two figures were moving slowly: Lukakul and his confidant carrying him on his back.

The original four-man guard was now reduced to one man, Lukakul, whose head hung low, his fate unknown.

A glint flashed in Rosen's eyes, and his expression changed to one of wild joy. He turned and waved:

"Brothers! We've found the boss! Quick!"

Upon seeing this, Modo and the others immediately became excited, shouting and rushing forward.

Hearing the noise, the burly man carrying Lukakul turned around abruptly to find cover, but his tense muscles relaxed only after he saw the familiar faces of Modo and others.

He swayed slightly, and blood was seeping from his right thigh, clearly indicating that he was at his last gasp.

"Modo? What are you doing here? Where's the front line?" the burly man asked, panting heavily.

Rosen spoke before Mordo could:

"The Fang Gang has amassed a large force on the right flank. The boss has given us secret instructions to feign a retreat to lure the enemy in, and then they will gather forces from the left flank of the center to surround the Fang Gang."

"Oh, but who are you? I've never seen you before. Are you from Bloodfang?"

The burly man was a bit stunned by this theory of "luring the enemy deep into our territory," but when he saw Rosen's Chinese face, he frowned.

The atmosphere became somewhat tense.

Far from feeling guilty, Rosen sneered, ripped off the pendant from his neck, and shoved it in front of the burly man's face.

"Open your eyes wide and look carefully! What is this?"

The burly man glanced over instinctively: "This... isn't this just an ordinary gang pendant?"

"Ordinary?" Rosen retracted the pendant, tracing a faint scratch on the back with his finger, his expression arrogant.

"See this circle? This is a token given to me by the boss! I'm his special envoy sent to inspect the right flank! Boss Luca knows about this, so are you actually one of Boss Luca's men?"

As he spoke, Rosen narrowed his eyes, took a step back, pointed the gun directly at the burly man's forehead, and shouted sharply:

"You've been questioning my identity the whole time; I think you're the suspicious one! Boss Luca is unconscious on your back; are you a mole bribed by the Fang Gang?"

"Fuck! What did you say?!" The burly man was startled by the sudden accusation and trembled with rage. "If I were a traitor, Luca would be dead already!"

"Hey! Hey! Don't be impulsive!"

Modo, who was standing nearby, was startled and rushed over to stop Rosen's gun, stamping his feet in frustration.

"Brother, this is no joke! This is Brother Li Xie! Our gang's war god!"

He was shot four times back then, yet he still carried the second-in-command out of the encirclement. He absolutely could not have been a traitor!

"The Scorpion?" Rosen's face showed a perfectly timed look of shock, which then turned into regret and admiration.

He holstered his gun and snapped a clumsy salute:

"My God, are you the legendary 'Immortal Scorpion'? I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

I just got back from out of town. I grew up listening to your legends. I was so nervous just now, afraid someone might harm Boss Luca... Damn it, I actually pointed a gun at my idol!

This 180-degree turn completely baffled Li Xie's not-so-bright brain.

His anger was suppressed before it could even be vented, and he even felt a little smug.

"Uh... never mind, ignorance is no excuse." Li Xie nodded blankly. "It's a good thing that young people these days are so vigilant."

"Brother Li Xie," Rosen said anxiously, glancing behind him before giving him time to think.

"The pursuers are almost here, and Boss Luca's injuries are too severe; he needs surgery immediately! I happen to know a doctor at a shady clinic nearby, less than a hundred meters away!"

Rosen stepped forward and, without a word, took the unconscious Lukakul from Riscorpion's back, looking at Riscorpion with unwavering eyes:

"Big Brother, you're the strongest fighter here. The brothers all need your stabilizing force to lead the attack! Leave this tiring work of running errands and delivering supplies to me!"

"With you here, the brothers have someone to rely on! If those scum from the Fangtooth Gang catch up, only you can hold them off!"

These words both praised Li Xie and emphasized the urgency of the battle.

Li Xie glanced at his eager underlings around him, then at his injured leg, puffed out his chest, and a surge of heroic spirit welled up within him.

"Alright! You're quick-witted, take the boss to get treatment!" Li Xie waved his hand. "Mo Duo, you guys follow my orders and build a defensive line on the spot!"

"yes!"

Rosen hoisted the heavy Lukakul onto his back, a barely perceptible smile curving his lips, and turned to sprint into the depths of the alley.

"Hang in there, boss! I'll take you to a 'great place'!"

Rosen's figure quickly disappeared around the corner.

The remaining people looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

The guy who said "I don't know" suddenly turned to look at the tall, thin man next to him, and said in a low voice:

"Hey, since he's a special envoy sent by the boss and knows the doctor nearby... why did he lead us on such a long detour through the ruins just now?"

The gun in the tall, thin man's hand clattered to the ground.

Li Xie was also stunned. He scratched the back of his head: "Besides... wasn't that shady clinic blown up by the Fang Gang last month?"

A deathly silence enveloped everyone, and they stared at each other in disbelief.

Everyone turned sharply to look in the direction where Rosen had disappeared.

boom!

A crisp yet muffled gunshot rang out from that direction.

The expressions on everyone's faces froze.

Everything is too late.
