The black tattoo of a tiger head on his chest was revealed through his low V-neckline. His expression was as gloomy as the tiger face on his chest. The long scar at the corner of his eyes made him look even more terrifying.<\/p>\n<p>In front of him knelt a man named Paul. Paul did not dare to raise his head. He shuddered as he could feel the ferocious gaze.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trash, you&#8217;re good-for-nothing!&#8221; Steven said it ferociously as he kicked Paul on his temple. Paul was knocked to the ground, and with a dull sound, his head was heavily smashed to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Blood flowed out of Paul&#8217;s nostrils.<\/p>\n<p>Paul was dazed, but he managed to get up and kneel in front of Steven.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. Steven, Mr. Steven, it was not my fault. Lance just disappeared. He&#8217;s like a turtle, hiding in his shell. No matter how hard we tried to look for him, we couldn&#8217;t find him, or he would have been dead!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not your fault? Peace City is our territory. Even if he hides, he&#8217;s still in the city.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Paul didn&#8217;t know what to say.<\/p>\n<p>For the past few days, he had found nothing about Lance. No wonder Steven would get angry.<\/p>\n<p>Paul asked suspiciously, &#8220;Mr. Steven, what if he has returned to Pine City?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Impossible!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How can you be so sure?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Steven coldly looked at him and said, &#8220;I have a mole around him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Paul frowned.<\/p>\n<p>No wonder Steven quickly found Lance when Lance just arrived in Peace City. It turned out that there was a mole. However, Paul couldn&#8217;t understand why the mole hadn&#8217;t contacted them for so many days while they were searching all over the city.<\/p>\n<p>However, since Steven was angry, Paul didn&#8217;t dare to ask this question, lest Steven would vent his anger on him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. Steven, I will continue to search right now. I&#8217;ll strengthen the search ability and find him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then why are you still here? Go!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, sir!&#8221; Paul struggled to get up and staggered out of the door.<\/p>\n<p>However, before Paul could reach the door, someone showed up with a gun pressed against Paul&#8217;s head, forcing him to raise his hands and slowly retreat.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing that Paul coming back, Steven scolded unhappily, &#8220;Aren&#8217;t you going to look for Lance? Why&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Steven saw Raye, a trusted subordinate of Lance, pointing his gun at Paul, forcing him to retreat into the hall.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing this, the gang members in the hall all took out their guns and aimed at Raye.<\/p>\n<p>Steven looked at Raye vigilantly.<\/p>\n<p>Raye had always been with Lance. If Raye was here, then Lance would also&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Then Steven saw Lance in a white shirt and suit trousers showing up behind Raye.<\/p>\n<p>Lance didn&#8217;t look haggard at all from being chased down around the city. He was refreshed and had a wicked smile on his face as usual.<\/p>\n<p>Steven sneered secretly.<\/p>\n<p>Then another rumble came from behind the hall. The ground trembled violently, and all the Tiger Gang members present were panicked.<\/p>\n<p>Steven twitched his mouth in shock as he looked at Lance angrily and said, &#8220;You brought gunpowder?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hope you enjoy it. But, this is just a dessert before the feast. I have prepared you a lot more,&#8221; Lance smiled evilly and said, threatening.<\/p>\n<p>Steven sneered and stared at Lance with hostility.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lance, don&#8217;t be alarmist. This is Tiger Gang, not the place for you to joke around. This is my place. How much gunpowder could you place here? I don&#8217;t buy it. Arrest him!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Steven had wanted to shoot Lance to death, but because of Lance&#8217;s threat, he changed his mind. Steven now wanted to torture Lance to death to vent his hatred.<\/p>\n<p>Lance shook his head. Looking at the people approaching him, he pressed another button.<\/p>\n<p>With an explosion, a hole suddenly appeared on the dome of the hall. The rubble fell to the ground, and several people were hit right on the head and began to bleed.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing the horrified expressions on the gangers&#8217; faces, Lance gently stroked his hair at his temple.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I told you I&#8217;ve prepared a big gift for you, but you guys didn&#8217;t believe me. Do you believe me now?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even Steven was shocked.<\/p>\n<p>How came&#8230; how came Lance had succeeded to place a bomb on the roof of the hall without being noticed?<\/p>\n<p>Unless&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Lance smiled smugly at Steven.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Looks like you&#8217;ve already figured it out!&#8221; Lance narrowed his eyes and said, &#8220;Come out!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3467","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
