"The rules of the Peony Society are simple, yet you have repeatedly disregarded them, using the factory facilities we provided you to manufacture and sell drugs, profiting hugely. Your crimes are unforgivable, and you deserve to be executed on the spot."

"Wait, wait a minute, Sister Mudan, please listen to my explanation!" Kemailen bent down and said tremblingly, "It's not that we don't want to live a down-to-earth life, but we really can't live like this anymore!"

"Over two hundred mouths in the Mist Cave rely on our factory for their livelihood. With the little business we've had so far, we can only barely scrape by and live comfortably. There's absolutely no room or potential for growth!"

"We also want to live, and we want to provide a better environment for our children. We don't want to live in this dark outer zone forever, living in a muddle all our lives."

"So, please forgive us for our mistakes and let us go this time, okay?"

"I promise you that next time, the income that the Mist Cave pays to the Peony Society will be double what it was before!"

"Double it?" Green said indifferently, "No matter how much money you make, you must never forget that Meng Ai is a drug, an addictive controlled substance. Not only did you knowingly break the law, you also concealed it from your immediate superiors, producing and trafficking drugs. The sins you have committed can never be washed away."

"Oh, officer, what do you, someone so high and mighty, know?" Cameron turned his head, a hint of jealousy etched in his hunched figure. "Judging from your attire, you must be a soldier from the Ark."

"I have lived under the blue sky since I was a child, with no worries about food and clothing."

"A person as rich as you certainly can't understand the plight of poor people like us. After all, it's probably hard for you to imagine that there are people in this world who have difficulty even getting food and water."

"Oh, so you're going to judge me from a moral high ground?" Green narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Then I'll ask you a straightforward question. Is it the eldest sister from the Peony Club who didn't give you any food?"

"this..."

Green caught Cameron's moment of hesitation.

He continued, "You obviously know that the Peony Association has given you a chance to survive. You already have jobs that can sustain you, but not only are you not grateful, but you are also overly greedy and have extended your hands into areas you shouldn't have."

"They said it was for the children, for the family, and for a better life."

"None of this should be an excuse for you to produce and sell drugs."

"so..."

"I'll give you one last chance to reflect on yourself, Cameron. Take the people of this town to apologize to the Mudan Society, and then you die as a token of your sin. Maybe Sister Mudan will show mercy and let you go." Green knew that Mudan might be soft-hearted, so he didn't mind being the bad guy one more time.

"......"

"Officer, Sister Mudan, do you really have to embarrass us common people?"

"We are just trying to make a living, why do you have to block our way to survival?" Cameron muttered to himself. Under the dim moonlight, he suddenly threw the metal cup in his hand to the ground.

Breaking the cup is the number.

There was only a crisp sound.

Dozens of fully armed villagers walked out of the dark corners with guns and pointed their guns at the members of the Peony Society.

"Sister Mudan, if you don't want to die, please step down. We've always respected you, but we can't give up this job." Cameron stared at Green, a fierce glint in his eyes. "As for this officer, please leave his head here. After all, your head is quite valuable, isn't it? Whether in the Ark or the Outer Rim, I don't know how many people would want to exchange your head for a reward."

"It seems you've been prepared for this, Kemailan." Mudan was truly furious this time. "I trusted you so much before, but I never expected you to betray me and the Mudan Club. I'm truly saddened."

Kemailen said in a hoarse voice: "Sister Mudan, people tend to go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. We have finally been able to live a good life thanks to Meng Ai. At this point, is there any reason to give up?"

"It is you and your Peony Society who are the obstacles to progress."

Mudan closed her eyes slightly and said, "Kemailen, I know you are suspicious and timid by nature. You shouldn't have the courage to do such a thing. So, who is instigating you behind the scenes?"

Cameron pulled out a pistol from his arms and aimed it at Green: "You don't need to know this question."

"Go to hell!"

"Brother, be careful!"

Boom!

At the moment when the bullets were about to pour out, Green took a big step on the spot, activated his special ability, and disappeared on the spot.

In Comalen's eyes, his body turned into a series of deep purple afterimages, moving among the crowd.

A moment later, more than a dozen armed villagers fell to the ground, and he appeared behind Comalen like a ghost, and used his free hand to tightly strangle Comalen's throat.

"Comeron, have you ever considered that the truly valuable Ark masters wouldn't subject themselves to missions in a place like the Outer Rim?" Green grabbed Comeron's throat and lifted him up with one hand. Seeing the frail man struggling, Green couldn't help but laugh. "So, I'm a soldier who kills without mercy. And I've already killed countless drug foremen like you."

"Do you think you'll be the exception?"

boom!

Green pressed Cameron's head and slammed it hard against the wall next to him.

When the dust settled, the drug dealer who had been so calm just now now had a red and swollen face, bleeding nose, and was dying, as if he could die at any time.

Chapter 4000 Peony ()

"Huh...huh..."

"It's impossible, it's impossible."

Cameron's body collapsed limply to the ground.

More than fifty fully armed villagers faced a dozen members of the Peony Society. I clearly had the advantage, but in a flash, most of his men were wiped out, and even the leader himself was captured alive on the spot.

Where on earth did that monster named Green come from?

Cameron struggled to get up from the ground, and when he opened his blurry eyes, what he saw was bright yellow flames.

Mudan lit the oil-soaked torch, held the flame high in her hand, and set the factory behind Cameron on fire.

The flames were blazing and the residents were fleeing in all directions. Those armed villagers who were still resisting were quickly captured alive or killed by the members of the Peony Society. Only a group of old, weak and sick people were left shivering in the village and fleeing in all directions.

"No... Peony, you can't do this!"

"That's my hard work, my career, and the livelihood of our entire village!"

"How could you, how could you do this..."

Cameron stared tremblingly at the factory that was gradually turning into a sea of fire, tears of regret welling up in his eyes. But this time, Mudan no longer sympathized with him. "You know, my subordinates often criticize me behind my back, saying that I'm indecisive and compassionate. Obviously, such qualities should not be found in a gang leader."

“But I still don’t want to be too harsh on others.”

"After all, this world is too cruel. Humanity has been forced underground by Letcher, where they can only survive in the darkness. Even so, the gap between the rich and the poor remains huge, and crime and atrocities are endless. I deeply detest the current world. That is why I founded the Peony Society to help poor people like you, to help you find a place to live in this barren land and give you a place to live."

"But there are always people like you who don't know what's good for you and want to betray my good intentions and take advantage of my kindness."

"It's like the saying goes: good people are born to be pointed at with guns. I feel very sad and grief-stricken about this."

"Sister Mudan, I know you have a kind heart. Please spare my life." Kemailan's knees softened and he knelt on the ground. "I was blinded by greed and was deceived by this villain. If you spare my life, I will reveal the mastermind behind the factory. Also, you can't kill me. The village has been planted with a bomb. If I die, the village will be blown to the sky."

"is it?"

"At this point, do you still want to threaten me with these words?"

Click.

Mudan stepped forward, pulled out a pistol from her bosom, and pointed it at Kemailen's brow. "You're manufacturing and trafficking drugs on my territory, and selling them in the name of the Mudan Society. Kemailen, the sins you've committed can never be washed away."

"If I don't kill you, where is the dignity of my Peony? Where is my original intention in establishing the Peony Society?"

"During my last inspection, I subtly warned you not to repent, but you didn't understand my good intentions and instead arrogantly threatened me. Do you really think I'm unaware of the little secrets you're hiding?"

"Whether it's the Cave of Mist or Theos who instigated you to manufacture drugs, no matter what they are, if they dare to act rashly on my territory, they must be killed."

"And you are just the beginning."

"Kemeron, die to atone for your sins."

boom!

The muzzle of the gun, blazing, pierced Cameron's heart.

The thin man fell to the ground like a candle that had been blown out. He twitched for a while and then stopped moving.

"May you be reborn into a good family in your next life."

"Or maybe there shouldn't be an afterlife. Living in a world like this is inherently sad."

Mudan looked at Komailen lying in a pool of blood. She sighed, put away the gun in her hand, and then looked up at a dark rooftop somewhere. "Don't hide there, Xisiou's lackey. I know you are watching here, ready to detonate the bomb hidden in the village at any time."

"But you are still too stupid."

"The last time I came here, I had already discovered the situation here and bribed the second-in-command here to have him defused most of the bombs in the village."

"You have reached the point of no return."

The man hiding in the darkness pressed the bomb's detonator several times.

But just as Mudan said, nothing happened.

The bombs placed in various corners had already been silently dismantled by Mudan's men. As for when she completed these tasks, no one knew.

"Humph, you really are worthy of being the head of the Peony Society."

"He looks careless, but I didn't expect that he is so careful about such trivial matters." A hoarse voice echoed in the dark tower, and then Mudan saw a deadly red dot appear in the darkness.

It's a sniper rifle!

Mudan gestured to her subordinates, indicating that they should burn down the tower immediately, but the sniper lying in ambush in the tower had already decided to fight to the death with the members of the Mudan Society.

"Niki's body is very hard. Ordinary firearms can't penetrate it."

"But if they kill the man beside you and then pin the blame on the Peony Society, then you'll just be scrapped by the Ark, Peony."

"Die with a heart full of regrets."

puff!puff!puff!

The silenced sniper rifle fired three shots in a row. Although the accuracy was not very good, one bullet still pierced Green's shoulder blade.

"Dare to hit my little brother?"

"You damn bastard, go to hell!" Mudan gritted her teeth angrily, rushed directly to the tower, and punched the wall of the tower.

Boom!

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, the surveillance tower made of metal plates and discarded plastic was knocked to the ground by Mudan's punch. As the tower rumbled down, scattered debris and wreckage were everywhere on the ground.

"He knocked down a tower with one punch. Is this guy a monster?"

The sniper hiding in the tower wanted to escape, but was immediately captured alive by the subordinates of the Peony Society.

"Has the person been caught?"

"Got it, Big Sister!"

"Very good, take him back for interrogation. Also, if anyone knows anything about medicine, come and help my little brother deal with this."

"coming."

A large man in a white shirt stepped forward, skillfully opened the medical tool kit he carried with him, treated Green's wound, and removed the shrapnel embedded in his shoulder blade.

After Mudan had directed the remaining game, she hurried over, squatted beside Green, and asked with concern, "Seventh Brother, how is my wound? Is it serious?"

The man called Lao Qi shook his head. "It's a minor injury. This guy is lucky. The bullet only grazed his skin. It won't affect his movements. I've already removed the remaining shrapnel. He should be fine after two or three days of rest."

"Huh, that's fine." Mudan let out a long sigh, a look of guilt on her face as she said, "I'm sorry, little brother. It's all my fault. I didn't expect the other party to have a sniper rifle, and I got you injured."

"nothing."

"I'm a soldier, and getting injured is inevitable."

Green stood up from the ground.

It was just a minor scratch, he didn't take it seriously at all.

"That's true, but as a host, it's unreasonable for us to let our guests get hurt."

"I'm really sorry to bother you today, little brother. Come in the car with me. I'll take you to the best restaurant in the Outer Rim. Let's have a good rest and talk about your things." Mudan took Green's hand and pulled him back into the classic car regardless of whether he agreed or not.

After seeing the two return, Zhen, who was in the main driver's seat, asked about the situation: "Big Sister, have you finished dealing with the Misty Cave?"

Mudan nodded: "Yes, it's done."

"Whether it was drugs or traitors, they were all cleaned up."

"Oh my, that's really troublesome, Big Sister. If you suddenly kill so many people, the residents of the Outer Rim will criticize you. Then our Peony Club's reputation might even be put on the same table with dogs again."

"Rules are rules. We can't just let those guys keep making and selling drugs." Mudan put on the sunglasses she wore on her chest and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Drive quickly and take me to the Mellat Hotel."

"Order!"

Mellat Hotel.

As the most luxurious hotel under the Peony Club, it stands in the center of the red-light district. It looks like a 49-story building. Every floor is bustling with people and brightly lit. In terms of scale, it is even no less than some luxury hotels in the Ark.

Green didn't often come to the center of the red-light district, and he was stunned when he saw such a magnificent building.

"Little brother, it's hard to imagine that you can see such a magnificent building in a place like this, right?"
