These drug dealers didn't even realize where Qin Fang was before they were already hit by bullets. How could they remain calm?

Their first instinct was to retaliate with gunfire. There was no way they'd obediently follow Qin Fang's orders and lay down their weapons—that would basically mean surrendering their lives to him.

People like this, after all, were used to living with their heads on the chopping block. They understood that walking this path meant death was always a possibility.

Because of that, they had long stopped valuing their own lives. Physical resistance was simply normal for them…

Unless they were facing a large military or police force, surrender was never an option.

If it was only a small squad, even if the enemies had superior firepower, they'd still resist with everything they had. Surrendering or giving up their guns was not in their vocabulary!

And now, Qin Fang found himself in exactly this kind of situation. Although his earlier shots had startled the group of drug dealers, it was far from enough to make them give up fighting back.

"It seems I'll need to show you a bit more to get you to cooperate…"

Qin Fang waited for a moment, but the gang showed no response to his words. They were tightly hiding behind the trees with their guns gripped even tighter, holding their breath. Clearly, they were banking on their numbers to deal with Qin Fang…

Even though it was obvious that Qin Fang was alone from start to finish, these people weren't fools. If it had been a large-scale military or police operation, they could tell the difference. But Qin Fang's shouting and shooting were all handled solo. As surprising as his gunmanship was, it still wasn't enough to make them surrender.

This time, Qin Fang was truly angered. These people didn't know when enough was enough, so he saw no need to remain polite.

Splat~~

Qin Fang observed his surroundings, his arm shaking slightly as he fired. A dark shadow flew from his hand, traveling a short distance before hitting a tree with a faint sound.

Rat-tat-tat-tat~~~

The drug dealers hiding behind the trees heard the sound and, without thinking, pointed all their guns towards where the noise came from. The violent tongues of flame from their gun barrels instantly roared to life.

The gunfire filled the air, echoing sharply in the previously tranquil forest. The sound reverberated, shaking the entire forest and causing eardrums to hum uncomfortably.

Thick gunpowder smoke spread through the air, contrasting vividly against the lush greenery of the forest. The area their guns aimed at was instantly riddled with bullets, turned into a wasteland.

Bam, bam, bam~~

Qin Fang, clearly not one for pleasantries, seized the moment his plan succeeded. His sharp eyes scanned the scene, taking in the positions of the drug dealers with remarkable clarity before he opened fire decisively.

Unlike the wild, random shooting of the drug dealers, Qin Fang used precise point shooting. Each target received just one shot, wasting not even a single bullet.

"Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!!"

The focused precision of Qin Fang's shots was significantly more effective than the dealers' chaotic sprays. Almost every bullet hit its target, with none missing.

And every single target had the same outcome.

True to Qin Fang's earlier words, this time, he wasn't shooting at their arms anymore. But he wasn't aiming to kill by shooting their heads, either…

No, each of them received exactly one shot, neatly shooting off an ear.

In the blink of an eye, what had started as three dealers hit in the arm and temporarily unable to hold their guns turned into all eight members of the group losing one ear each…

Now, what a sight this was: an entire team of eight drug dealers, with no one spared, each injured but not fatally. Yet the spectacle was enough to frighten anyone.

Screams of pain echoed without end. These men weren't afraid of death, but facing a lethal shooter like Qin Fang, they had no choice but to resign themselves to their situation.

This match-up wasn't even on the same level. Despite having eight people, they hadn't even caught a glimpse of Qin Fang before all of them were injured.

If Qin Fang's earlier shots to their arms had been 'self-defense,' this wave of injuries carried a clear warning.

Just like Qin Fang had said earlier: the first time, it was your arms. The second time, it's your ears. The next time… would likely be the last—probably right through the head!

"Stop shooting! We surrender…"

Though this small group wasn't afraid of death, it was clear that continuing to fight would be pointless—only leading to a quicker demise…

Rather than die in vain, they chose to surrender, hoping for a slim chance of survival. After all, Qin Fang hadn't killed anyone yet, which suggested he wasn't entirely bloodthirsty. This gave them a shred of hope.

With glances exchanged among them, their leader reluctantly gave the order to surrender.

To show their sincerity, they dropped their guns, even tossing their sidearms to the ground. One after the other, the remaining men followed suit, raising their hands high in a gesture of total submission.

"Now that's more like it…"

Only then did Qin Fang emerge from the treetops, a faint smile playing across his face.

The eight-member drug gang were left hanging their heads in defeat, too humiliated to say a word. Some clutched injured arms, others held their bleeding ears, but their dejected expressions were universal.

To be taken down by a single man… This was the first time something so humiliating had ever happened to them. If word got out, they'd lose all standing in this business.

"Boss, all our goods are here. If you want them, take them…"

The gang leader, showing a glimmer of cunning, noticed that Qin Fang was alone and not wearing either Anlang's or Dragon Country's military uniforms. Instantly, he assumed Qin Fang was a rival in the same trade.

In their line of work, life was no joke. They had their heads constantly on the brink of death and faced countless dangers, not just from law enforcement but from their peers as well.

Getting the goods was one thing, but returning with them was often a gamble with death. Be it wild animals, traps, or cutthroat rivals, dangers lurked everywhere.

Compared to their usual rivals, Qin Fang now seemed like one of the "kind ones."

"I'm not interested in your goods. I just want to…"

Qin Fang sneered. He wasn't a drug dealer, much less a drug addict. What would he do with those drugs? He waved his hand dismissively, just as he was about to ask his intended question when—

He sensed danger behind him. Without even turning his head, he pulled the trigger on his gun, aiming directly behind him!

Bam~~

The gunshot rang out!

Someone fell with a thud… never to rise again.

A single, round bullet hole had appeared in the center of his forehead. Dead before he hit the ground.

"Ugh…"

Qin Fang's reaction was so fast that it left the other drug dealers in complete shock.

The gang leader had been distracting Qin Fang while one of his underlings quietly drew a hidden pistol to ambush him. But as soon as he moved, Qin Fang had already fired.

It was as if Qin Fang had known all along what they were planning, waiting for it to happen. Just as the man began to raise his weapon, Qin Fang ended him.

"Looks like you really won't give up until you see your own graves… I warned you; don't try any tricks in front of me, or this will be your fate!"

It wasn't that Qin Fang was unnecessarily ruthless; it was simply that drug dealers like these valued their lives too little. Even now, they dared to resist. He saw no reason to spare them any compassion.

The deciding factor, however, wasn't just the ambush attempt. The deceased man was an Anlang native.

"If they're not one of us, their loyalty is questionable!"

Qin Fang felt no need to hold back now.

It was just one dead drug-dealing Anlang native. Qin Fang hadn't planned for this mission to be bloodless, and this poor soul was just unlucky enough to cross his path. Why would Qin Fang show him mercy?

"Don't… don't kill us!"

Even the gang leader turned pale. Although he hadn't orchestrated the ambush, he had cooperated with it.

But now, what they had gambled was lost, and their lives were no longer in their own hands…

Even if Qin Fang hadn't intended to kill them earlier, it was hard to say now! (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian.com to give your recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation!)
