On that day, the castle of the Manor Gang was surrounded by the warriors. The number of them was ten times that of a previous similar occasion. All the warriors from major gangs known to sell weapons at the Lower Region of the whole Chaotic Region had shown up.
The Axe Gang came with the most number of warriors.
The Axe Gang was one of the six gangs less powerful among the top ten gangs. Its leader Trent was a warrior at the fifth grade of Bone Reinforcement, and also a casting master at intermediate Mortal Level, while his younger brother, Bastian was at the sixth grade of Bone Reinforcement.
With the two brothers' powerful strength and in particular, Trent's authority as a casting master of the intermediate Mortal Level, it was enough for them to keep the Axe Gang among the top ten gangs.
The Manor Gang was known for its unbeatable reputation. Almost all the members of the gang led by Trent and his brother Bastian had joined forces, hoping to add up to a resounding victory in their battle against the Manor Gang.
"Ha-ha! We have never expected that the two influential leaders of the Axe Gang would come. We apologize for not being able to usher you into our castle with such short notice," Ricky and Tyson said as soon as they heard the news and walked out of their castle with a polite and welcoming smile on their faces.
"To our respected guests, welcome to our castle. This way, please follow me," Ricky added politely, inviting the two leaders inside the quaint castle.
At once, Ricky thought of an idea that he wanted to achieve and that was to win Trent's trust. In this way, the whole Axe Gang could be conquered and would abide by his orders.
Trent was just an average skilled warrior at the fifth grade of Bone Reinforcement. Ricky had no much confidence in challenging him. Meanwhile, Trent was also a casting master. In weapon casting, Ricky, however, had enough confidence to defeat him.
"No, I prefer to stay here and negotiate," Trent said, rejecting their cordial offer.
"Well, alright, let's talk here if you insist!" Tyson said, smiling. "What brings you here? What can I do for you?" Tyson asked. "As far as I can remember, the people of our Manor Gang have never done any of you or your subordinates wrong!"
"You two leaders, Tyson and Russell, stop playing tricks on us. Let us cut to the chase. The casting industry of your Manor Gang seriously threatens the survival of over a dozen gangs, including our Axe Gang. Today, we would like to hear your explanation!" Trent said firmly.
"Yes! That's right! "We are with Trent's side and we want to hear your explanation!" The moment Trent finished his sentence, the leaders of other small gangs below all roared, agreeing to what they had heard.
"Ha-ha, Trent, what you said made me confused. I don't understand why our Manor Gang owes you an explanation about that situation. In the Chaotic Region, its ruthless rules are like those in the jungle, where the weak ones are the prey of the strong and the events of dog-eat-dog always happen. Our Manor Gang dominates the weapon industry and threatens your survival, which can only indicate one problem—you are not strong enough to compete with us," Ricky said bluntly and laughed.
After a few seconds, he continued, "So, since the problem is you are not strong enough, please stop complaining in front of our castle like this."
"Russell, how can you say that? Are you trying to annoy us?" The leaders of some gangs protested angrily in a deafening manner when they heard the harsh comments from Ricky.
"Ha-ha, anyone who feels irritated by our Manor Gang just step forward and challenge us or you can gather your own team and defeat us. I am going to fight all of you," Tyson said at once and laughed heavily, while he took a step forward, looked around and exuded an intense momentum.
"If you don't dare to challenge me, just keep your mouth shut!" Tyson added.
When the leaders protesting earlier heard Tyson's remarks, not one noise was heard. They were intimidated, not only by Tyson's fame based on his great strength but also by the obvious powerful momentum exuding from his body.
In that case, they could do nothing but only to steer their attention on Trent and his brother, desperately hoping the two brothers would say something to defend them.
With such flowing attention, Trent was fully aware in his heart that the leaders of these small gangs were just pushing him and his brother into the limelight and hoping all the troubles could be solved by them.
However, Trent was willing to walk into the limelight and end all the troubles they were facing.
The Manor Gang's wild expansion in its weapon industry had seriously threatened the survival of the Axe Gang. Therefore, they had been left with no other options. If they didn't improve the situation now, the members of the Axe Gang would be forced out of the weapon industry and put to a more desperate position where they had to live on by hunting fiercely beasts.
Trent, as the top leader of Axe Gang, had to stand up for the survival of his gang.
