Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 92: Start war

"I'll leave now, and leave the matters here to you. I'll take care of the things in the inner city, so you can handle it freely. Three days later, I don't want to see any members of the Cross Society still on Green Street!"

"You can rest assured, Young Master Martin. We'll take care of it."

"..."

After leaving the Elephant Tavern, "Mad Dog" Hogg led a group of Steam Party members respectfully and sent Young Master Martin into his luxurious steam car.

Watching the convoy leave, Hogg also breathed a sigh of relief.

It was the first time he accompanied such an important person, and he felt a lot of pressure. Just now in the tavern, he was really afraid that the Cross Society would lose their temper or even start shooting...

Although there were bodyguards by his side, this young master probably wouldn't die even if something happened, but even if he was just frightened, Hogg felt a great responsibility.

And if a fight really broke out, the Steam Party would definitely be at a disadvantage on the Cross Society's territory.

But now that they had sent away this young master, the mission was perfectly completed.

Hogg was in a good mood and waved to the group of members, "Let's go, brothers."

The roaring sound of hundreds of motorcycles deafened the ears as this group of uninvited guests left Green Street in a grand manner.

........

Before long, Hogg returned to the Steam Party gathering place in the Wellington District of the East City.

Here, various mechanical modification shops and accessory stores could be seen everywhere.

Illegal limb modifications were also an important source of income for the Steam Party.

Hogg walked into a heavy metal-style tavern and saw the president, "Butcher" Banner, in a private room on the second floor.

"President, the job is done."

"Is there any movement from the Cross Society?"

"Not for now. It seems that they have to swallow this loss."

"Well done."

Banner was in a good mood and laughed as he embraced the seductive woman beside him.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, the woman asked coquettishly, "Old man, why would Young Master Martin be willing to personally handle such a small matter?"

"A small matter? This is not small at all."

Banner shook his head with a smile, a look of joy appearing on his face. He explained meaningfully, "If the matter on Green Street is successful this time, the situation in the outer city will be different... The Cross Society might even suffer a big setback."

"But... Will the backer behind the Cross Society just sit idly by?"

"That Mrs. Filov also has a lot of power in the inner city. If the Reyes family hadn't split, we wouldn't have had any chance at all. But now... Mrs. Filov is also in a difficult situation herself, so she probably won't tear her face over a small piece of territory in the outer city."

The woman seemed to understand something and asked, "Are you saying that someone wants to target the backer of the Cross Society?"

Banner neither confirmed nor denied it, and didn't explain further. He smiled and said, "Who knows? We don't need to worry about the matters in the inner city. Just take care of Green Street for now."

"Oh."

The seductive woman didn't ask any more questions. She thought of something and said softly, "But when we met, I always felt that Young Master Martin looked at me strangely..."

Banner laughed, "Well, men, how can they resist when they see you?"

The woman gave him a seductive look and playfully asked, "What if the young master really takes a liking to me?"

Banner had an indifferent expression, "Then I'll send you over."

"Pfft~"

This remark made the seductive woman playfully punch her chest. Banner burst into laughter and his big hands wandered freely on the woman's graceful figure.

But unexpected events often occur when least expected.

Just as Banner was in a good mood and was about to move his body, urgent footsteps could be heard outside the door.

After all, he was a high-level professional, and his perception was extremely sensitive. Hearing the footsteps, his face changed slightly.

Knock, knock, knock!

In an instant, someone knocked on the door, and Banner said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

The door opened, and a captain stood at the entrance with an anxious expression. He spoke quickly, "President, something bad has happened!"

As soon as he spoke, the joyful atmosphere in the room instantly disappeared.

Banner vaguely guessed what had happened, and his gaze suddenly turned cold. "What happened?"

"Just now... The Reyes family's convoy was attacked by a group of mysterious people on Wutong Street in the South City. The entire convoy was wiped out, and Young Master Martin... was killed!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Banner's face changed drastically, and he stood up with a swish.

For a moment, the terrifying pressure of a high-level professional instantly spread, making it difficult for the people in the room to breathe.

He asked urgently, "Is the news confirmed?"

"It's confirmed! There was a severely injured driver at the scene, and he said... among the attackers, there was a guy who could transform into a red giant."

"The 'Red Demon' Gollon?"

Upon hearing this news, Banner's eyes flickered frequently, and he cursed angrily, "Damn it!"

He knew very well how much trouble the death of Young Master Martin would bring to their Steam Party. Not only would the cooperation they had just negotiated be in vain, but the pursuit that followed would be the most troublesome!

He immediately ordered, "Gather manpower and immediately take over the Cross Society's stronghold on Green Street! Notify the cadres to gather and prepare for a gang war!"

"Yes, President!"

The captain also knew that the situation was urgent and hurriedly left to carry out the order.

........

The sudden bad news made the faces of the remaining people in the room extremely ugly, and the atmosphere became terrifyingly cold.

They had just celebrated the great advantage the Steam Party had gained, and now they received news that the young master from the inner city had been killed.

It was like a hole had been punched in the sky, and everyone was stunned by this news.

Banner sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, not knowing what he was thinking.On the side, "Mad Dog" Hogg's face turned pale. It was not long ago that he personally sent Martin away, and now he heard the news of his death. He knew he couldn't escape from this.

But he didn't lose his rationality due to anger, and raised his doubts, "President, what if it's not Gelong, but someone else who awakened the talent of the Red Demon?"

Anyone with clear eyes could see that the convoy intentionally left survivors, and one of the attackers who awakened the talent of the Red Demon was recognized. It seemed suspicious no matter how you looked at it.

"President, I feel like there's something fishy about this. It seems like someone is setting a trap to provoke a war between our two gangs..."

Hogg felt that he had found a point of doubt, and then analyzed, "After all, the members of the Cross Society feel like they're at a disadvantage. As long as their brains are not damaged, they wouldn't dare to really kill Martin. Now we have to go to Green Street to settle this. What if it's a misunderstanding..."

"Hehe... Do you think I don't understand?"

Barna interrupted him with a cold laugh and said, "Now that the attacker is not Gelong, the Cross Society will have to bear this blame!"

He sneered and continued, "Also, our Steam Party won't have it easy either!"

It was clear that Barna was truly furious, "Whether it was the Cross Society who attacked the convoy or not, since the young master died, someone has to be buried with him! Do you really think the big shots in the inner city will wait for us to slowly investigate the truth and find the culprit? If no one dies today, we won't be able to settle this!"

"Ah... this..."

Hogg immediately realized that the situation was even more serious than he had expected.

In the eyes of those big shots in the inner city, their lives as gang members were no different from sewer rats.

If a young master from a top financial family died, it would be worth more than ten thousand gang members.

If they didn't make a move, the high-level members of the Steam Party would immediately face the furious storm of those big shots in the inner city.

After venting his anger, Barna gradually calmed down.

He thought of something and his expression became extremely ugly. He muttered to himself with self-mockery, "I thought those big shots in the inner city were going to deal with the Cross Society. Now it seems like they don't want to see us grow either..."

It didn't matter who the culprit was!

What mattered was that the Steam Party and the Cross Society, the two major gangs, had to go to war and give an explanation!

In this battle, both sides would suffer.

The person behind the scenes wanted to see this situation!

At this moment, Barna suddenly thought of something and his eyes turned cold. He asked, "Hogg, besides you, who else knows the route of the Rayes family's convoy?"

Hogg's face instantly turned pale when he heard this.

He instantly realized that the president asking this question meant that he suspected there was a problem within the Steam Party as well.

........

After the guys from the Steam Party arrogantly left, the members of the Cross Society did not leave Green Street.

Everyone knew that something big would happen within the next three days, and the members of the gang were prepared for a war.

The members from other districts also canceled their rest and gathered in various taverns, carrying guns and ammunition.

In the dilapidated building on Green Street, Kay led forty to fifty men and squatted down.

A bonfire burned in a metal barrel, and the firearms and ammunition from the arsenal were distributed. Mechanical arms, cannons, grenades, heavy machine guns... everything needed for a battle.

The veterans set up their rifles on tripods next to the bonfire, then gathered together to chat and play poker. Fighting was a common occurrence, not much different from usual.

The newcomers had never experienced such a battle before and trembled with their firearms.

The dilapidated building had five floors, and standing on the top floor, one could overlook a large part of Green Street.

Kay and Su'en stood at the edge of the building, looking at the bustling street below.

A cool breeze blew into their collars, bringing a slight chill.

When Kay came out of the tavern, he was already feeling down. Now, looking at this prosperous street, he sighed, "If we lose Green Street this time, I won't have the face to see the boss and the others."

This was his first time as a captain, and Green Street was his first jurisdiction.

If they really lost, it felt like his wife had been taken away.

Su'en looked at his expression and didn't directly say that this was no longer something he, as a captain, could intervene in, or even something that President Chuck could reverse.

All he could do was advise, "Captain, I have a feeling that something big is going to happen. Be careful."

Upon hearing this, Kay became even more furious, "Hmph, if those guys from the Steam Party dare to come, I'll definitely crush them!"

Su'en: "..."

He guessed that there might be an armed conflict, but he didn't expect it to come so soon and so directly.

Kay was also a jinx.

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden explosion, and the entire Green Street was engulfed in flames.

Someone immediately shouted in alarm, "Something's wrong! The Steam Party's people are attacking!"

Su'en looked closely and his pupils contracted.

In the distance on the street, the Steam Party's convoy came in a black mass. There were transport vehicles, motorcycles, armored vehicles, modified heavy trucks... and even tanks. There were probably hundreds or even thousands of them!

Seeing this scene, Kay beside him also exclaimed, "Damn, how many people did the Steam Party bring?"
