Chapter 32 Danger

"Did you guys hear that?!" the bald man exclaimed with excitement, turning to look at the knife-wielding brute at the door, "Mr. Chen is so thrilled he’s about to pee himself!"

"Hahahaha——"

The gang members all burst into hearty laughter, then solemnly collided their knives together, with a bold expression, they shouted in unison, "Down with human tyranny! The world belongs to Three-Body!"

"Down with human tyranny! The world belongs to Three-Body!"

"Alright, alright, quiet down." The bald man pressed down with his hands to silence the crowd, then sat back across from Chen Yu, and spoke earnestly, "Brother, my lifelong wish is to revive the glory of the Iron Blood Gang. For that, I don’t care about any power or position. So I promise you, from the day your ’title’ changes, you will be our new Gang Leader!"

"..." Hearing this, Chen Yu’s complexion turned green.

"You guys don’t have any objections, do you?" the bald man looked around the room.

"No objections!" The first to declare was the leader of the gang, "We follow the Gang Leader’s lead!"

"I have no objections either." The bald man’s cousin raised her hand, "We follow the Gang Leader’s lead."

"We follow the Gang Leader’s lead!" The crowd echoed in unison.

"Eliminate human tyranny! The world belongs to..."

"Shut up, idiot. That’s not the slogan right now."

"Oh oh... I follow the Gang Leader’s lead..."

A chaotic crowd.

Chaotic words.

They turned Chen Yu’s thoughts into chaos.

’Are these people’s heads filled with shit?’

After his complexion changed unpredictably for a while, Chen Yu nerved himself and cautiously tested the waters with the bald man, "Umm... what if I... um... disagreed..."

"Who dares disagree!" The bald man’s eyes flashed angrily as he looked at the crowd, "Who here disagrees?"

"We all agree!" A burly man with a knife roared, "Whoever disagrees, we’ll stomp them out!"

"Yeah! Stomp them out!"

"Waaargh——chop them into mincemeat! Together we’ll..."

"Make dumplings!"

Chen Yu: "..."

"I agree." Chen Yu nodded earnestly, raising his hand, "I have no problems, um, let’s do this."

"Good brother!" The bald man clenched his fists excitedly, "Then change your title back now, whether it’s [Global’s Number One Murderer] or [Terrorist], either one is fine. Mr. Chen, do you need us to prepare anything for you?"

"Just prepare a single room for me, let me calm down for a while."

"No problem!" The bald man waved his hand grandly, "Find a clean room for Mr. Chen! As soon as his title changes, we will hold the new Gang Leader inauguration ceremony!"

"I’ll take the boss away now." The leader of the gang stepped forward.

"Hmm." Nodding, the bald man gave Chen Yu a thumbs up, "Brother, I believe that no matter how the folks upstairs brainwash you and turned you into a [Useless Homebody], the ambition and aspiration inside you can’t possibly be completely eradicated. Each of us is looking forward to the day you reclaim your glory and recover your great ’title’."

Chen Yu: "..."

He didn’t say a word.

Chen Yu stood up and followed the gang leader amid the Iron Blood Gang’s awestruck, anticipatory, and eager stares, he left the scene.

He returned to the basement where he was previously detained.

"You go out first." Chen Yu entered the basement and waved his hand wearily.

"Boss, do you need me to find you some video footage about crime and violence, to help you quickly revert to your former title?"

"No need, you can go out."

"Alright, I’ll be right outside your door. Call me if you need anything, boss." The gang leader left respectfully and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

Chen Yu: "..."

Chen Yu: "..."

"It’s over."

"I’m done for."

Chen Yu felt a chill rushing straight to the crown of his head, causing his scalp to tingle.

His "title" always went from bad to worse before it got better.

And today was the 16th, the day his title would change.

Forget being a [Murderer], when his title changes later, it wouldn’t surprise him if he directly turned into a [Youth Who Fights Evil and Promotes Goodness]...

Within the Human Security Bureau, no matter how recklessly his title changed, it would never lead to serious trouble. At worst, he’d suffer a bit.

But this is a gang!

Once these people are dissatisfied, they’ll turn on you in the blink of an eye.

"No way,"

"I’ve got to figure a way to get out of here."

With that thought, Chen Yu got up, tiptoed, and took a peek outside the door.

The head guard had left, and there were six burly men guarding the entrance.

"Six of them."

"Even with the head guard, that’s just seven people."

"If I could get angry, activate my ’Beast Power’ ability..."

"..."

After some calculations, Chen Yu’s eyes flashed with a spark of determination, feeling there was a chance.

As a Transcendent power, abilities were far from something normal humans could resist.

A trained and mature Transcendent, even the lowest "E class", could massacre dozens of people in an armed team.

Of course, he hadn’t undergone professional training in the Transcendent world yet.

He couldn’t use his ability to enhance his overall physical condition to the point of being bulletproof or sprinting dozens of meters in a second.

That’s why he injured his own fragile arm hitting the punching bag a few days ago.

But there were only seven people outside.

Trading blow for blow, a full force assault should take them down without a problem.

...

Meanwhile, in the factory room Chen Yu had left,

the bald man and the head guard were secretly plotting.

"Are you sure we didn’t kidnap the wrong guy?" the bald man asked with a frown, "He looks so young, folds like paper. Can he be the [world’s number one murderer]? Has the crime threshold gotten this low?"

"I’m sure it’s him, you know I’m reliable, Gang Leader. When it comes to being dependable, I’m the top," the head guard said, pounding his chest in assurance before lowering his voice to ask, "But as for whether you’re reliable, Gang Leader, I’m not so sure. Did you really investigate Chen Yu’s background thoroughly?"

"Bullshit! When it comes to being reliable, I’m more so than you!" the bald man glared with eyes as big as bells, "I’ve investigated Chen Yu’s family to the bone!"

"He really doesn’t have any background?"

"None. Just an ordinary chap," the bald man rubbed his forehead, "That’s why I’m puzzled, how can an ordinary chap who doesn’t seem to be a good fighter become the [world’s number one murderer]?"

"..."

After a moment of contemplation, a spark flickered in the eyes of the head guard, "Gang Leader, if your investigation is correct, won’t that just prove how awesome Chen Yu is? A nobody doing something so huge — truly extraordinary!"

"Could he have an ability?" the bald man wondered.

"Would someone with abilities get locked up in a high-security prison?" the head guard laughed, "Which city’s system has the courage to lock up a Transcendent, from top to bottom they’d have to be crazy! The whole Qingcheng City would be in turmoil."

"That makes sense," the bald man nodded, "So now, let’s see how long it takes for Chen Yu to regain his title as the [world’s number one murderer]. Everything’s already arranged on the other side, just as long as we really have a criminal of this caliber, a billion in funding will be transferred immediately, allowing us to swap our shotguns for cannons."

"Rest assured," the head guard smiled, a subtle curl at the edge of his mouth, "A top-level criminal with extreme violent thoughts isn’t going to change just because of simple brainwashing. I believe in Chen Yu, he’s naturally cut out for doing great things."

Having said that, the head guard stood up, pushed the door, and left, "I’ll go put in some extra effort, give him a bit of brainwashing too. Aim to change his title back within three days."

However.

They couldn’t wait for three days.

Just twenty minutes later, the head guard ran back excitedly, followed by an impressive crowd of gang members.

"Gang Leader!" the head guard shouted with excitement, "Chen Yu’s title color is fading!"

"What?!"

After a brief shock, the Gang Leader leaped to his feet, almost bursting with excitement, "So quick?"

"Yes! It should change any moment now!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

An indescribable elation surged through him as the Gang Leader waved his trembling hand vigorously, "Worthy of the man who holds the title of the [world’s number one murderer]! Instant comprehension!"

"Bring the people here! Gather all the gang members!"

"We’ll hold the initiation ceremony immediately!"

"Let’s welcome our great [world’s number one murderer] Gang Leader!"
