Chapter 61: Eradicate the Marshal's Mansion?
The noise of arguing voices outside the storefront grew louder and Li Cheng could no longer ignore it– he finally stood up, saying "Xiaolong, Senior Fei Hou, please sit for a moment while I go out and handle the matter."
Huang Xiaolong shook his head, "We'll go out together." Since someone came to make trouble in front of the Li Family's silk shop, he was too embarrassed to sit and do nothing.
Hearing that Huang Xiaolong wanted to go out together with him, Li Cheng's heart swam with joy. Thus, the seven people stepped out of the inner main hall towards the shop's entrance.
When they came to the shop's front, they saw more than a dozen people wearing green-colored clothes smashing and throwing things belonging to the shop onto the floor.
This group of people was cursing angry words while destroying the shop's items.
"Is this what they call silk? All these are smelly cloth taken from garbage dumps, such terrible, foul smell! You dare to use this kind of smelly cloth to make our clothes, your mother, you must be tired of living!"
"Smash everything, no need to hold back!"
Some of the store workers that tried to stop these hooligans were treated with unruly punches and kicks. There were already six to seven workers groaning in pain on the floor, it seemed their injuries were not light.
"Stop! Stop your actions!" Confronted with this situation, Li Cheng yelled anxiously and had an ugly expression on his face.
The men in green clothing pretended they didn't hear him; but instead, it seemed as if they even exerted much more effort in their wanton destruction.
Li Cheng became furious, walked forward and was about to attack when suddenly, one of the green-clothed men flew towards Li Cheng with his arms spread out. His finger curled into claws aiming at Li Cheng– his atmosphere was quite strong, a late Seventh Order.
With the man coming at him out of nowhere, Li Cheng was shocked. As he raised his hand up to defend himself, a silhouette acted faster than him and used a palm to slap away the green-clothed attacker, who flew away screaming, landing on the shop floor with a bang. His body curled into a lump and from the look of it, he wouldn't survive.
The one who deflected the attack was one of the Marshal's Mansion Ninth Order guards.
The abrupt change in situation caused the other green-clothed men to pause their acts of destruction and look over in the guard's direction.
A middle-aged man, who seemed to be the leader of the group, glanced at his companion that was on the floor curling in pain, his face solemn. Then, his attention turned towards Huang Xiaolong's group.
"Who are you all? This is our Green Hawk Gang's matter, you had better mind your own business and not stick your noses into other people's problem!" The middle-aged man 'kindly' advised them in a sullen voice.
The group of men in green gathered behind the burly middle-aged man after they had stopped smashing things around the silk store.
"Green Hawk Gang!" Li Cheng's face lost its color.
Green Hawk Gang? Huang Xiaolong's eyes showed confusion and cluelessness. And at this point, a Marshal's Mansion guard stepped forward and said, "Young Master, this Green Hawk Gang in one of three biggest gangs in the Royal City. The gang leader, Jiang Wei is a Tenth Order warrior, and has good connections with some of the city's nobles."
One of three biggest gangs in the Royal City? Huang Xiaolong nodded his head, in simple terms these so-called gangs were similar to those mafia syndicates on Earth. However, since this Green Hawk Gang was said to be one of three biggest gangs, their forces didn't seem to be weak.
