"My palace is actually located directly beneath Kowloon Walled City?"
Shen Du's gaze was cold and profound; he could already feel the calls emanating from the depths of the earth.
After escaping the Demon's Hell, Lord Saint, betraying his promise to his siblings, was once again ruling the Eastern Continent alone.
Ultimately, he chose to establish his capital in Hong Kong's Kowloon Peninsula and built a palace, an imperial city.
However, Lin Dynasty's fighter, Lope, sealed him into a statue.
A thousand years passed.
The world changed, and the geographical environment underwent tremendous changes.
Kowloon Walled City rose from the ground, perfectly positioned above Lord Saint's sleeping palace!
"But, it might not be a bad thing."
"With the decaying and old Kowloon Walled City as a cover, no one will discover the hidden world within."
Shen Du's lips curved into a smile.
He ordered Black Tiger Afu to lead Suit Thug Valon, along with his confidants, and all members of Ba's Legion, to find a way to clear out the residents of the Walled City.
Demolish Kowloon Walled City!
Just leave the exterior as a facade!
"Mission accepted."
Afu's face was contorted in a ferocious, savage grin. He clenched his fists tightly, and a series of cracking sounds erupted from his bones.
"We have to prove our worth again!"
Suit Thug Valon, his silver hair neatly parted, leaned on his gentleman's cane, his expression fierce.
"Ba's Legion, attack!"
Tony Chun took the lead, charging towards the fish-and-snake-infested Kowloon Walled City!
He was a native of Hong Kong.
He understood Kowloon Walled City far better than his companions! Even though it was a genuine lawless land, a breeding ground for evil and corruption.
Gambling.
Fraud.
Loan sharks.
…Various violations occupied the main theme of Kowloon Walled City.
But it wasn't entirely without rules and order.
The residents of the city spontaneously formed the Kowloon Committee.
The crime bosses of various gangs and local forces would elect truly respected leaders to preside over everything in the city! Wo Hing Hung Society Scarface Qiang was not even on the same level.
Nine leaders, respectively, controlled transportation, multi-level marketing, customer acquisition, adult health care, covering many areas of life.
They were, in the true sense of the word, the masters who held the power of life and death in Kowloon Walled City! However, how could a mundane, locally-divided force contend with Ba's Legion, which absorbed demonic energy?! Black Tiger Afu, Suit Thug Valon, and his confidants, led by Tony Chun, were like entering an empty land, charging all the way to the top floor of the city! The luxuriously decorated Kowloon Committee headquarters!
Worldly rules.
The code of the jianghu.
It's utterly useless in the face of absolute power!
Crack!
Black Tiger Afu's hand transformed, the dragon tattoo on his chest blazing with light. His fingers morphed into iron hooks, dragon claws gleaming!
He ripped off a burly thug's arm on the spot!
"An Awakened!!"
"Afu is actually an Awakened!"
"He can control his ability activation, his limbs transforming into dragon claws..."
"That's a characteristic of an A-rank Awakened!!"
Awakened.
This was Shenzhou's unique term for mutants.
Although they shared the same seven-level classification system, the Shenzhou government broadly defined them as F, E, D, C, B, A, and S.
Seven tiers!
They abandoned the complex descriptions used in the West. Instead, they measured strength based on threat and destructive power.
Perhaps due to the Celestials' preference, the people of Shenzhou had a high probability of awakening the x-gene.
Even the possibility of multiple mutations exists!
In Kowloon Walled City, the super criminals hiding in anonymity, the evil bosses, without exception, are all wanted fugitives by the imperial court! Therefore, they are even more fierce and rebellious!
"Afu."
"Why bother making things difficult for us?"
"The forces in Kowloon Walled City are deeply rooted and involve a wide range of people. The big boss behind you definitely can't handle it."
"It will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the Elders in the capital!"
A white-haired, short, elderly man in a Tang suit said with a serious expression.
"That's right."
"The existence of Kowloon Walled City is reasonable!"
"If it weren't for the backing of the imperial court, it would have been razed to the ground long ago. Would it even be your turn to be so arrogant?"
Another fat, bald-headed boss emphasized.
The imperial court?
The Elders?
Endorsement?
The nine heads of the society remained unmoved, seated on their grand chairs, casting sharp and playful gazes.
As expected.
The legend of the dragon-slaying hero was, after all, just a legend.
What was happening before their eyes was the reality.
"Let's go."
"We'll let bygones be bygones!"
"Remember to tell Basachang that the Prince sends his regards."
The bald-headed boss waved his hand.
Kowloon Walled City, capable of being a malignant tumor on the land of Shenzhou, a true land beyond the law, naturally had untouchable big shots as its guarantors!
Many illegal experimental institutions, secret research projects…
Smuggling, money laundering, human trafficking, organ harvesting, and other activities.
Almost all of them could be traced within Kowloon Walled City.
It is said that the biggest umbrella protecting the nine bosses is not the Elders of the court, but the World Security Council across the ocean!
Secretary-General Alexander Pierce.
Even the Spear Bureau, the Shenzhou's relevant department with thirty thousand permanent agents, had to take orders from the Secretary-General of the World Security Council!
"Scared now?"
"Get lost!"
The muscular man with dragon tattoos on his body threatened.
This person was also an Awakened, a true Beta-level mutant, with a threat level reaching A-class! He had once killed his enemy's entire family.
Utterly evil!
"Breaking news, a major international news flash!"
"Stark Industries Tower has launched a dazzling beam of light."
"They've actually opened a space wormhole."
"Ugly alien creatures are ravaging New York!"
"...All flights heading to the United States are being turned back!"
The exquisitely made-up female presenter, her face filled with panic, stared at the live broadcast feed from the reporters on the scene, reading the news script.
For a moment, the Kowloon Committee's headquarters fell silent.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The screen displayed a bewildering scene.
A futuristic industrial tower, its dome projecting dazzling and radiant energy beams, tore through the sky, piercing the barrier between two worlds.
Through the wormhole, one could vaguely see the magnificent and majestic outer space!
Planets and celestial bodies of various colors were slowly rotating.
A massive steel fortress lay across the sea of stars.
Ugly and bizarre alien lifeforms, driving small gliding war vehicles, sped across the spatial vortex.
They charged towards the bustling city streets, where skyscrapers stood shoulder to shoulder!
Clenching a curved staff, wearing a horned helmet, and clad in dark leather armor, the god of lies and trickery raised his arms in jubilation.
He celebrated the expected chaos and disorder!
"Has it begun?"
A deep, magnetic voice rang out.
Dark Queen Xiaoyu, dressed in a dark Gothic Lolita outfit.
A stranger with a perfect face, sharp facial features, and a flawless appearance appeared out of thin air before the leaders.
Buzz!
A magical projection immediately materialized in the air.
The evil god Loki, with a twisted, crazed smile, reported, "Boss, mission accomplished! Successfully brought the Chitauri to Earth. What's the next plan?"
"Attack the X-Mansion."
"And the Triskelion."
"Right, and let's include the World Security Council."
Shen Du smiled. "Who told Pierce's lackeys to offend me?"
He finished speaking.
A lazy gaze swept over the assembled heads of the organizations.
Silence!
It seemed one could only hear the buzzing of a fly.
Everyone held their breath.
They didn't dare to breathe!
Who exactly was this unfamiliar young man?
He could command an alien army?!
"Just kill them all."
"Why waste time."
Dark Queen Xiaoyu said with a cold snort, arms crossed.
The moment her voice fell, the shadows on the ground rose as if they were alive!!
In the blink of an eye, they transformed into fully armed Shadow Ninjas!
Standing silently, they instantly blocked the escape routes of the assembled organization heads.
Magic?
A trick?
Or a supernatural power?!
The Kowloon Committee was so silent you could hear a pin drop.
"Interesting."
"So, this is the Lord Saint."
"A far cry from the demon emperor I imagined."
Applause suddenly erupted from not far away.
A middle-aged gentleman, wearing a pristine white shirt and looking composed and peaceful, was smiling.
Behind him stood a masked assassin in black robes, his face painted with a Peking opera mask.
