Chapter 21: You Disturbed the Fourth Catastrophe

“Huff~”

Cao Wenliang exhaled several smoke rings after having dinner.

A cigarette after a meal is better than being immortal.

“It’s been quite some time now, I guess White Fu must have some news.”

Cao Wenliang pushed open the window and looked out with a content expression.

Actually, he didn’t need that supervisor position so badly. With his status, whether he recruited one more or less didn’t make any difference.

But why did he confidently tell his subordinates that he would give the vacant supervisor position to one of them?

In this abandoned cooling plant, besides money and power, what mattered most was the respect everyone had for him!

White Fu indeed didn’t provoke him on purpose, but since she was involved in this situation and humiliated him, her only fate was death.

Cao Wenliang pressed the cigarette butt against the window frame.

Crack!

A small bug was instantly scorched black.

Cao Wenliang casually threw the cigarette butt into the trash bin. At that moment, a series of shouting sounds came from outside the window.

“What’s going on?”

He stepped out onto an open area and looked around. After just a few seconds, one of his subordinates rushed over, panting heavily.

“Boss, it’s not good! It’s not good!”

Cao Wenliang glared at him, “Calm down, the sky hasn’t fallen yet.”

“Yes, yes,” the subordinate said obediently, not daring to contradict.

Cao Wenliang sneered, “Tell me, what happened?”

The subordinate hurriedly reported, “Boss, White Fu and her group captured ten outsiders!”

“How many?”

Cao Wenliang couldn’t believe his ears.

Capturing outsiders wasn’t a big deal, but capturing ten at once? Damn it, were they going out to catch people or go shopping?

He could no longer stand still and rushed toward the source of the shouts.

The subordinate helplessly shrugged, as if to say, you see, even if you hear it, you get anxious.

A few minutes later, near the entrance of the Wildfire Gang, hundreds of people gathered together.

“Sss—”

“Sss↑”

Cao Wenliang almost thought he had walked into a snake pit.

What’s so scary about this?

“Get out of the way! All of you, get out of the way!”

He angrily started pushing people aside. After shoving five or six people, his view suddenly cleared up.

“I want to see… Sss!”

Cao Wenliang sucked in a breath of air.

White Fu was leading the way in the crowd, with members of her team following on her left. On her right, she held a rope tied to ten outsiders.

Though the scene wasn’t grand, it stunned everyone present.

It took half a day to catch ten piglets, but you caught ten people in one afternoon?

That’s it.

Cao Wenliang felt bitter.

Now who could doubt White Fu’s achievements for the supervisor position?

He looked up and saw the Wildfire Gang leader calling for all members to learn from the new outstanding member, White Fu.

“Everyone, take a good look. Don’t act impulsively when something happens. Use your brain more often; otherwise, you’ll always be at the bottom!”

Cao Wenliang quickly nudged the person beside him.

“How did she do it?”

“Ah, Boss Cao? Here’s what happened. When White Supervisor went out, she found these outsiders cooking. She led her team to lure them away and then drugged their food, knocking them all out. Ah, White Supervisor is really brave and meticulous. If only I were half as smart as her,” the Wildfire Gang member sighed enviously.

Cao Wenliang couldn’t bear this scene and turned to leave.

“Wenliang, you’re here.”

The leader’s voice came from behind.

Cao Wenliang reluctantly turned back, “Ha ha, Leader, how come you have time to come here?”

The leader patted Cao Wenliang’s shoulder, “Come, Wenliang, let me introduce you to our rising star. Speaking of which, this has your contribution too. I’ve been busy non-stop lately, and if not for your suggestion, I wouldn’t have thought to assign Martin’s group a new supervisor. Now we unexpectedly found a promising newcomer. Haha.”

Cao Wenliang: “…”

He wanted to laugh along, but he couldn’t.

Praise White Fu, but involve me too? Is this psychological warfare?

What a messed-up world!

With his already bad temper, Cao Wenliang was about to explode.

Calm down, stay calm!

Just as he thought that, he noticed that the outsiders were curiously looking at him, without any fear, only curiosity in their eyes.

His anger flared again.

Is it because I can’t lift a knife anymore, or are you guys getting cocky? Being caught doesn’t scare you at all?

“What are you looking at?”

He angrily approached the nearest Jiujiao.

These past few days, Jiujiao had gradually adapted to the game’s realism, so she wasn’t scared by Cao Wenliang’s stare, instead, she stared back.

Wenliang?

The mastermind behind the assassination of Fu Fu is called Cao Wenliang, right? Could it be this guy?

Jiujiao was still guessing when Cao Wenliang burst into laughter.

He was ignored by the outsiders!

Good, good. These outsiders not only killed my people but also completely disregarded me. Today, I’ll see if they truly fear nothing!

Cao Wenliang raised his right hand high.

Just before he was about to strike, his peripheral vision caught sight of White Fu.

“You, go kill her.”

“Me?”

White Fu pointed at herself.

Cao Wenliang said, “Yes, you. Don’t you notice that these outsiders don’t seem afraid at all? There are usually two explanations: either they truly fear nothing, or they’re actually with you, pretending to be caught to infiltrate the Wildfire Gang.”

“This, this can’t be right?”

Before White Fu could speak, her team members protested. They looked towards the leader, hoping he would intervene.

The leader smiled, “Ten people are indeed too many. Wasting resources. We only need to interrogate them for intelligence. Keeping two or three alive is enough.”

Although the leader didn’t explicitly support him, Cao Wenliang knew he had won this round.

No matter what the leader did afterward—whether he scolded or punished him—he wouldn’t face major consequences. After all, he hadn’t directly attacked White Fu, but White Fu was different.

If she truly colluded with the outsiders, killing or not killing them would both backfire on her.

If she had no connection with the outsiders, killing so many would infuriate them, and they would never let her off.

“Why are you still standing there? Hurry up,” Cao Wenliang urged.

This attitude immediately sparked dissatisfaction among the players, especially those in the live stream.

Since entering the Wildfire Gang’s territory, Jiujiao had started streaming. She used the pretext of touring the gang to attract a large number of players to watch.

[Damn, this is forcing White Fu to kill us]

[This face looks like someone up to no good]

[When the leader praised White Fu earlier, I thought he was nice, but he’s just another scoundrel]

[What now? Can White Fu do it? If she can’t, trouble will arise]

Jiujiao and others signaled to White Fu.

Pai Da Xing shouted, “Kill, come and kill! Do you think I’m scared?”

“Shut up, damn outsiders, all of you deserve to die!”

Cao Wenliang roared, finally silencing everyone. He coldly looked at White Fu.

“Do it. If you don’t, everyone will suspect something’s wrong with you.”

White Fu’s expression turned strange.

Buddy, do you know what you just did?

You declared war on the players right in front of them!

Disturbing a witch is scary, but disturbing the fourth catastrophe is truly terrifying. No one in heaven or earth can save you now.

Sigh, sigh.

I’ll mourn you for three seconds.

“If you say so, then I must prove myself.”

White Fu pulled out a dagger and walked towards Pai Da Xing under everyone’s gaze, then stabbed him in the heart.

[You killed Pai Da Xing and gained 200 experience points]

Hmm, wait, killing players gives experience?

The sudden game prompt startled White Fu.

Then she laughed. Killing one Pai Da Xing gave her 200 experience points; killing six or seven more players would easily net her 800-900. Adding this to her previous experience, she could level up again.

To be honest, White Fu couldn’t tell whether Cao Wenliang was a good or bad person for her.

Although Cao Wenliang was always targeting her, from the moment he sent players to assassinate her, every time he targeted her, she seemed to gain something.

For instance, she killed the players and earned experience, but Cao Wenliang took all the blame.

If Da Biao Ge was her top supporter, Cao Wenliang could be called her angel investor.

Thank you, Wenliang! ```
