Judging from the outcome of his game with Zhuo Ken, he can be considered quite capable.

Judging from his actions, words, and manner of speaking since he came in... this guy really has guts.

"No wonder the boss noticed this kid!" Xu Jing thought to herself.

Not bad!

She crossed her legs, fiddled with the curls between her eyebrows, and looked at Zuo Le with a meaningful gaze:

“Zhuo Ken may be a piece of trash, but he did things for the gang. You killed him, so you have to give the brothers an explanation, right?”

Zuo Le held a cigarette in his mouth, hiding his expression in the smoke. In fact, he had already guessed that this would happen before he came.

He pointed to the people behind Xu Jing, then pointed outside, giving an irrelevant answer:

"Sister Jing brought so many people today, is there something you need to do?"

Xu Jing, holding a wine glass, sat down next to Zuo Le:

"What, you want to do it too?"

"As Sister Jing said, I have to give my brothers an explanation."

Xu Jing put down her cigarette, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Zuo Le.

Zuo Le glanced at the wine glass, downed it in one gulp without even frowning, and then turned the glass upside down and swirled it around.

Seeing this, Xu Jing nodded in satisfaction:

I like people with guts.

"You flatter me, Sister Jing."

Xu Jing threw a stack of photos on the table and pushed them over. Zuo Le looked down and flipped through them. Most of them were images of warehouses, cargo containers, and dock berths. Some of them were blurry and looked like they were taken secretly.

“There’s a place called Red Apple next to the dock area. They’ve gathered a group of people and have been trying to steal our Black Snake’s distribution channels lately. This has made my boss very unhappy.”

boss!

Zuo Le keenly grasped this information; indeed, there was someone even higher up in the Black Snake Gang.

"Did Sister Jing bring so many people today just for this?"

As she spoke, Xu Jing moved even closer, her full breasts pressing against Zuo Le's arm, her tone filled with seductive allure:

"This matter was originally supposed to be handled by Zhuo Ken, but now that you've killed him, many brothers want to take his place!"

Zuo Le laughed, ignoring the implication in the other party's words, and instead directly stated the matter:

"I'm young and impetuous. Can I take Sister Jing's meaning to say that whoever takes down Red Apple will get White Egret's business?"

He really left no room for ambiguity in his words.

Xu Jing didn't expect that Zuo Le would choose to be so direct.

Because if you keep things to yourself, even if he really is a powerful figure who can smooth things over, there will still be room for maneuver when he returns.

How the business is divided will ultimately be decided by her, the boss.

Once it's made clear, you have to follow the rules.

"What, you're planning to go?"

"I do have that idea." Zuo Le remained unfazed by the pressure.

“If you really want to go, I can give you a chance…” Xu Jing’s eyes were filled with amusement.

But as soon as she finished speaking, the burly man with the gold chain behind her laughed:

"Sister Jing, you're letting this kid eat red apples? With his small frame, is he even strong enough to withstand a punch?"

Another man, with his arms crossed and wearing glasses, continued:

“Sister Jing, what Da Ya said was a bit rough, but it actually makes sense. There are more than ten people in that place, and the boss, Scarface, is a retired martial artist.”

He's a useless psychic, he doesn't even have a psychic beast. He just got lucky and killed Zhuoken. Sending him there would be like leading his brothers to their deaths, wouldn't it?

Upon hearing this, the others around also joined in the commotion.

Zuo Le didn't give any substantial response, and didn't even look at the two of them.

He simply picked up an empty wine bottle from the table, placed it on the edge of the table, gathered a layer of purple mist at his fingertips, and flicked it lightly.

Clang!

The bottle was ejected with a slanted cut.

While everyone was still marveling at Zuo Le's skill in cutting the bottle with his bare fingers...

His figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

In that instant, the burly man's gold chain snapped silently, leaving a red mark on his neck, and Zuo Le's figure shifted again, appearing behind the bespectacled man.

He grabbed the other person's hair with one hand and the other person's shoulder with the other, and suddenly pressed down.

The bespectacled man's neck was already pressed against the glass bottle that had just been cut.

"Hey, wait a minute..."

The bespectacled man's glasses fell onto the table, his Adam's apple bobbed, and cold sweat trickled down his neck and into his collar. He was no longer the eloquent man who had been analyzing things so logically.

Zuo Le's entire movement was silent and without warning; it was too fast and too frightening.

The muscular man with the gold chain had previously tried to make a move.

But then Zuo Le suddenly took out his broken gold necklace and casually tossed it onto the table:

"Your gold chain is a bit too heavy. Remember to add some lead next time."

The muscular man was startled and subconsciously touched his neck.

Looking at the bloodstains on my fingers, I felt a mix of horror and embarrassment.

Even if he were slow on the uptake, he would have realized by now that if Zuo Le had slit his throat, he would have been killed.

Zuo Le tossed the bespectacled man aside and returned to her seat.

Throughout the entire process, even his breathing remained steady.

After sitting down, he picked up Xu Jing's bottle of wine and poured himself a glass:

“Jing’s two subordinates talk too much.”

Xu Jing paused for about three seconds, then laughed—a truly satisfied laugh.

"Hahahaha, interesting, Zuo Le, you've given me quite a surprise. I never thought that stray dog ​​Zhuo Ken could find such a ruthless person as you."

"So what does Sister Jing mean now?"

Xu Jing's expression suddenly returned to calm, and she waved to the person behind her.

Zuo Le raised an eyebrow. He saw the person behind Xu Jing hand over a document, the top of which seemed to be in red.

"This afternoon, the He Guang Church issued a guidance document requiring our local community organizations to cooperate with the police departments in various districts to crack down on organized crime in the dock area..."

Zuo Le: ? ? ?

Chapter 34 The Light's Henchmen

Zuo Le could barely hear what Xu Jing said next; he just found it utterly ridiculous.

The Black Serpent Gang is actually from the Lotus Light Church?

The original owner used to hate the gangsters who came to his father to collect protection money, because they were the tentacles of the rulers, the claws of the Council of Lords of Cinder and the Lightbringers.

Those extraordinary Brahmins ruthlessly exploited every commoner, and resistance was futile.

However, the original owner later joined a gang.

Is it ironic? It's very ironic.

But there's something even more ironic...

That is Zuo Le today, who has quietly become their henchman.

The claws of light!

He was to carry an official document from the Holland Church, representing one gang, to wipe out another gang.

It's supposed to be joint law enforcement...

In reality, he had become part of the corrupt practices.

To contribute to this dark era.

Xu Jing saw Zuo Le's astonishment and confusion, and she was very satisfied with this reaction. In the underworld, one must have the ability to manage subordinates.

"What's wrong? Is this the first time you've seen an official document with a red header?"

Zuo Le didn't try to show off; he nodded obediently.

"It is indeed the first time I've seen it."

Xu Jing took a drag of her cigarette and waved casually:

"Don't worry, as long as we do our job well, we'll see each other often in the future."

The boss behind it all...

Zuo Le understood that Xu Jing was demonstrating her strength and background to him, and he did need to take this background seriously.

No one can ignore the power of the Lightbearers, even if they are only slightly involved.

"clear."

"Alright, tell me, how many people do you want?" Xu Jing noticed Zuo Le's shifty gaze and asked smugly.

How many people? Ha...

Zuo Le sensed the smugness in Xu Jing's eyes, but he didn't care. After taking the documents from her, he responded with a slightly insincere smile:

"No need, Sister Jing."

Xu Jing felt that either she had misheard, or Zuo Le was delirious:

"What? You don't need it?"

"No, no need." Zuo Le nodded.

Xu Jing felt like she had encountered a lunatic. Had her boss made a mistake in choosing her?

"Are you crazy? Are you looking to die?"

Zuo Le didn't say anything. He picked up the bottle of wine on the table and poured himself a third glass.

"Just wait for my message, Sister Jing."

After saying that, Zuo Le drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, got up and left.

The man with the gold chain and the bespectacled man behind Zuo Le glanced at him with hatred and fear in his eyes, but they both made way for him.

This is always true: the weak must give way to the strong.

After Zuo Le left, the members of the Black Snake Gang couldn't help but ask:

"Sister Jing, are you really going to let him go alone?"

Xu Jing's expression changed several times; clearly, Zuo Le's behavior had exceeded her expectations.

"Call your boss."

……

Zuo Le came out from the back room, and the bartender Fei immediately stopped him, expertly offering him a cigarette:

"Hey, Zuo Zi, did Sister Jing say what she's going to do with so many people today?"

How about red apples?

Zuo Le's question startled the bartender, who looked at him with suspicion and uncertainty.

"Is Sister Jing going to pick red apples?"

"No, I'm just planning to go shopping."

"You didn't accept a pledge of allegiance, did you? Red Apple has a lot of ideas. How many people are you planning to take?"
