World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 35: Jackals of the same tribe

"Have you heard? The Iron Palm Gang was taken over by someone, and they were forced to change their name to the Peacekeeping Gang. They are making the members of the Iron Palm Gang apologize to people all over the city. They even changed their clothes."

"I saw it too. They are posting notices all over the city, saying that they will uphold peace in the martial world. They claim that anyone who has grievances can come to them. It sounds good, but I don't believe it."

"I don't believe it either. Didn't Zhang Lao Er's eldest daughter get kidnapped by the Iron Palm Gang a few days ago? She was just returned today, with a large sum of money, and she knelt at Zhang Lao Er's door, begging for forgiveness. Her face was swollen from being beaten. Zhang Lao Er was so scared that he kowtowed to her and didn't dare to bring his daughter back home..."

"I wouldn't dare either. Who knows when the Peacekeeping Gang will turn back into the Iron Palm Gang? We'll be the ones suffering then."

"Ah, these martial arts sects are all the same. They rely on their strength to bully whoever they want. When have they ever cared about us common people? This world is going to the dogs..."

"This time might be different. Let me tell you a secret, don't spread it outside. My third brother is working for the Iron Palm Gang, and he said that the one who took over the gang is not human."

"Not human? Could it be a ghost?"

"Scarier than a ghost, it's the Heavenly Demon."

"Heavenly Demon?"

"Yes, I heard that last night, the leader of the Iron Palm Gang was stabbed more than ten times by the Heavenly Demon, but he was completely unharmed. The Peacekeeping Gang was created overnight by the Heavenly Demon..."

"If humans are already so terrifying, wouldn't we be even more unlucky with the Heavenly Demon?"

"You're wrong again. The Heavenly Demon is different from us humans. My third brother said that the Heavenly Demon seems to have a restriction. They must grow according to their attributes, otherwise, they will become weak. The Heavenly Demon who took over the Iron Palm Gang has the attribute of upholding. He announced in front of everyone that he will uphold justice, fairness, and righteousness..."

"Isn't that what's written on the Peacekeeping Gang's notice?"

"So, the Heavenly Demon is even better than humans?"

"Not exactly. It seems that there are many types of Heavenly Demons, good and bad. My third brother couldn't explain the specifics, but I think the Heavenly Demon who took over the Iron Palm Gang is a good person."

"Brothers, stop chatting here. Let's go to the Iron Palm Gang. The Heavenly Demon is holding a sword to the gang leader's neck, and he is publicly judging the case. It's quite lively..."

...

There are no walls that can't be penetrated.

Moreover, Du Ge was so high-profile that he wanted to announce his whereabouts to the whole world. That day, he and the Iron Palm Gang, which had become the Peacekeeping Gang, became the hottest topic in Luyang City.

Various rumors spread like wildfire. In less than an hour, everyone knew what Du Ge had done in the Iron Palm Gang.

The timid people were still hesitating, but those who had been oppressed by the Iron Palm Gang and had no way out, after seeing the notice, they broke the jar and went directly to the Iron Palm Gang to seek justice.

Du Ge didn't expect that his efforts to protect the interests of the people would be effective so quickly. Posting notices, forcing the members of the Iron Palm Gang to apologize in Luyang City, he only wanted to gradually weaken the foundation of the Iron Palm Gang and establish the reputation of the Peacekeeping Gang.

But he didn't expect that the Iron Palm Gang had done too many evil deeds over the years. There were actually people who didn't care about their own lives and didn't even want to verify the truth. They came to seek justice on the same day...

Come to think of it, even small families like the Feng Family treated their sparring partners as disposable, casually deciding their life and death. Not to mention the common people who were even worse than sparring partners.

What a messed up world!

However, this was just right. The government didn't care, so he took charge. When someone sought justice, he was happy to play the role of a righteous lord and seek justice for the people.

What better way to enhance his reputation than a public trial?

...

And so.

A scene appeared outside Luyang City.

Former gang leader Qiu Yuanlang, with his body wrapped in bandages, sat expressionless under the scorching sun. Beside him, a young man held a long sword against his neck. Sitting at a table of noodles, he greeted each person who came to seek justice with a smile on his face.

Beside them, the Incense Master and Hall Master of the Iron Palm Gang, dressed in the clothes of the Peacekeeping Gang, held short sticks at their temples, their faces pale, acting as bailiffs on both sides.

If it were just this, it would still be within the public's acceptance.

After all, Du Ge had just taken over the Iron Palm Gang and didn't have any hostages. How could he make the Iron Palm Gang obedient without holding a sword to the gang leader's neck? And how could the oppressed people dare to come forward and seek justice?

But if there was another deranged youth holding a severed hand and smiling foolishly, the scene would be a bit off.

However.

For those common people who had been oppressed by the Iron Palm Gang and had no way out, they couldn't care less about such details. If they didn't take revenge and settle their grievances while the Iron Palm Gang was under someone else's control, when would they have the chance?

At this moment, Du Ge was their savior.

Even if the Heavenly Demon was suppressed afterwards and the Iron Palm Gang made a comeback, they would have vented their anger.

...

"Lord Heavenly Demon, I accuse Liu Heigou of the Iron Palm Gang. A year ago, he took a liking to my daughter Xiulian and brought the members of the Iron Palm Gang to forcefully marry her for three coins. I refused, and he broke my leg and forcibly took Xiulian away. When I went to the government to report, they beat me instead. My poor Xiulian was tortured by that beast for three days and couldn't bear it anymore. She jumped into a well. My poor daughter was only sixteen years old. I beg Lord Heavenly Demon to help me seek justice..."

A person with a face full of sorrow and fear knelt on the ground and told Du Ge about his grievances.

Whether it was protecting the Feng Family, betraying the Feng Family, or upholding justice, Du Ge had always approached these matters with a gaming mentality...After all, his goal was to enhance his own strength through peacekeeping.

But when the old man, who was kneeling before him, dragging a short leg, and skinny to the bone, cried out his grievances to him with a clear death-or-nothing attitude, his heart was suddenly moved.

Even though he knew the Simulation Field was fake, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

This was too much!

What about the Feng Family?

What about the Iron Palm Gang?

Not a single good one, this damn world, it should be villains like him who maintain it...

At this moment, he suddenly felt that what he was doing had meaning, it was no longer purely about competing for the first place in the Simulation Field.

Du Ge glanced at Qiu Yuanlang: "Gang Leader Qiu, what a great Iron Palm Gang!"

Qiu Yuanlang, who was forced to execute publicly, was originally full of resentment. But his expression was somewhat embarrassed at this moment: "Mr. Qi, these things were done by the people below, I didn't know. If I knew, I wouldn't have kept him to tarnish the reputation of the Iron Palm Gang..."

"Reputation?" Du Ge snorted, "Liu Cheng, bring Liu Heigou here."

Liu Cheng reluctantly stepped forward and asked, "Whose subordinate is Liu Heigou?"

One of the Incense Masters acting as a bailiff stood up, awkwardly saying, "He's my subordinate."

Liu Cheng asked, "Do you know what he did?"

The Incense Master shook his head awkwardly, just about to speak.

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the peacekeeping gang members behind him. A man broke through the crowd and ran wildly towards the outside.

Liu Cheng glanced in that direction, and in a few leaps, he was behind the man, grabbed his neck and dragged him back, throwing him heavily on the ground.

Liu Heigou's face was pale, he kowtowed to Du Ge like pounding garlic: "Please spare me, Heavenly Demon, I won't dare again. Please give me another chance, I am willing to sincerely join the Peacekeeping Gang and work for you..."

"If the Peacekeeping Gang even accepts people like you, how can it talk about upholding justice?" Du Ge snorted, "Master Liu, kill him. Keeping such scum in the world pollutes the air. Don't let him die too easily..."

Liu Heigou's performance was already evidence enough. Besides, Du Ge had sharp ears and eyes, the whispers of the onlookers, the truth was already clear in his heart.

"Brother Qi, leave him to me!" Wang San, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly stood up, "I should add some more to my collection..."

After the battle ended last night, until now, his attributes had increased very little.

After all, most of the time it was Feng Qi showing off, he couldn't even find a chance to perform.

But when he stood with Du Ge in front of the crowd with a broken hand, and people around him were pointing and discussing, his attributes soared. In a short while, his personal ranking had risen by five places.

How could Wang San miss such a good opportunity to improve his attributes? If he didn't take advantage of Du Ge's fame, when would he wait?

Moreover, he had figured it out. Feng Qi's keyword was peacekeeping. He was walking on a tightrope with such a big commotion. Once he collapsed, he would be irretrievable. But he was different. Being sickly adorable was just that, even if the Peacekeeping Gang collapsed in the future, it wouldn't change people's impression of him. His strength would only increase, not collapse.

How powerful is Feng Qi now?

Maybe he will be the one to turn the tide in the future.

After all.

The fear of the adorable is not unusable on Feng Qi...
