Today's First Chapter: Chapter 062!
……
That night, Burn City Bar No. 7.
Situated at the intersection of the Upper City and the Lower City, this bar attracted people from all walks of life.
There were elites from the Upper City looking for thrills, and residents from the Lower City trying to blow off some steam.
A world of wine and song, luxury and decadence at its finest.
The wealthy had the ways of the wealthy, while the penniless had the ways of the penniless. The Blazing Heaven Squad, who usually came here only to have a simple meal and drinks, stood out like a pure stream among the muddy waters.
However, the vast majority of patrons came here merely to release their restless hormones.
The target of the Blazing Heaven Squad's plan—Han Ying—was a regular at this bar and quite infamous.
As the older brother of Han Xiong, the leader of the Black Bear Society, Han Ying was the epitome of good-for-nothing. Relying on his brother's influence, he threw his weight around wherever he went.
He had three major hobbies: watching people fight, toying with young girls, and breaking people's limbs!
Because he could not endure the hardships of cultivation, he had barely tempered his physical body to the seventh stage of the Boulder Realm. Every day, accompanied by a pack of flunkies from the Black Bear Society, he committed atrocities across Burn City that made people wish they could dig up his ancestors' graves.
The number of people who had filed reports against him could probably circle Burn City twice.
Yet, with Han Xiong acting as his towering backing, even when Han Ying committed murder, someone would step up to take the blame for him. As for those who reported him, few ever met a good end.
The lucky ones lost all their wealth to avert disaster, while the unlucky ones saw their entire families ruined.
Just listening to the others recount his numerous crimes was enough to make Yu Le's blood boil with the urge to eliminate him.
"How can anyone be this evil? Is there really no one who can bring him to justice?"
Mentioning this, the group fell silent.
It was Han Yueshu who spoke calmly, "If you go through official channels, even if you clearly know the acts were instigated by Han Ying, leaving aside those in the official sector on good terms with Han Xiong, any evidence you manage to gather will be destroyed by him. If worse comes to worst, the Black Bear Society has so many members that they can easily pull a few scapegoats to take the fall. Han Ying himself wouldn't even have to spend a night in detention."
"As for private retaliation—forget about facing the entire Black Bear Society; just the large mob of thugs Han Ying surrounds himself with everywhere he goes is something ordinary people simply cannot afford to provoke."
Hearing this, Yu Le let out a sigh. This society was tragic. Just looking at how derelict in their duties the big shots at the Public Security Bureau were was enough to tell how difficult it was for ordinary people to seek redress.
Here, raw fist power was the ultimate truth!
Geng Xiao looked toward Gu Xiaoyuan and said, "Xiaoyuan, you must be careful. If that beast Han Ying tries to pull anything on you, don't stand on ceremony with him, even if the plan fails."
Dressed in a youthful and vibrant outfit with a lollipop sticking out of her mouth, Gu Xiaoyuan flashed an "OK" hand sign.
"Just watch how I wrap that bastard Han Ying around my little finger."
With that, Gu Xiaoyuan leaned forward and said to Yu Le, "Mister, I'm sacrificing my feminine charms for your sake this time. You have to promise me one thing afterward."
Yu Le nodded: "Name it, I'll promise you anything."
"Then go on a date with me~" Gu Xiaoyuan blinked playfully at Yu Le.
Yu Le froze, momentarily at a loss for words.

Fortunately, Han Yueshu broke the awkward silence with her cold expression, "Stop chattering. According to his routine, Han Ying and his gang will be arriving at Burn City Bar No. 7 shortly. Get ready."
Gu Xiaoyuan bounced on her heels and giggled, "Someone is feeling a little jealous~"
"Positions, everyone! Today, the Blazing Heaven Squad plays the role of justice enforcers and teaches that bastard Han Ying a proper lesson!"
"You got it!"
Night fell. Compared to places like Ashen Stronghold, which turned into ghost towns as soon as the sun went down, a den of pleasure like Burn City Bar No. 7 was a vibrant realm of neon lights and bustling activity!
It was suffused with the sweet scent of money!
All kinds of luxury cars gathered outside, and people of every stripe poured into Burn City Bar No. 7.
Soon, the heart-pumping music began to thrum.
Truly... trading mere fleeting fame for quiet cups of wine and soft singing!
On the dance floor, handsome men and gorgeous women swayed to the beat in a chaotic frenzy of bodies—a sight that caused Yu Le, who had never frequented bars in his past life, to furrow his brow deeply.
"An inner spiritual emptiness that requires cheap methods to fill. Everyone has different ways of unwinding and entertaining themselves. Once you get used to the flashing neon lights, you can no longer integrate into poetry and distant horizons. Take one step further, and you fall into an abyss of eternal damnation. Yet, it is precisely this kind of joyful playground where moral constraints are cast aside that makes countless people addicted and unable to extricate themselves."
"Some come as prey, others as hunters. And truly high-end hunters often disguise themselves as prey..."
"Sigh, no matter the era, it's always the same."
Amidst the dance floor, a figure flitted back and forth like a vibrant butterfly. Her youthful and spirited aura stood out strikingly even among a sea of attractive men and women.
Quite a few handsome, well-dressed young men noticed her dainty figure and attempted to approach her, only to be politely rebuffed.
Combined with her graceful dance moves, she quickly became the center of attention on the dance floor.
Inside a high-end private box, the air was pungent with the smells of alcohol and tobacco. A sunken-eyed man sprawled across the sofa with his arms spread wide, puffing on a cigar with narrowed eyes as he enjoyed the attentive service of a young woman kneeling before him.
As the musical beat shifted, the ash at the tip of the man's cigar dropped, but the girl beside him hurriedly cupped her hands to catch the burning embers. Even as her palms suffered a searing heat, she maintained a smiling face.
"Master Han, how do you plan to have fun tonight?" the woman asked.
Han Ying slowly opened his eyes, his gaze ice-cold. First, he shoved away a woman who was pressing herself eagerly against him, and then he ruthlessly kicked the kneeling woman who was still busy cleaning the floor.
The woman winced in pain, yet she didn't dare to utter a single complaint, not even daring to cry out.
"Boring. Haven't there been any fresh goods around here lately? Just a bunch of mediocre fluffs!"
This man was naturally the target of the Blazing Heaven Squad's current mission: Han Ying.
The woman who had been pushed away didn't mind. "Master Han, you're just too vigorous. All the girls around here say they can't handle it. Would you like to try some new games today?"
"Play what? Play with you?" Han Ying cast a disdainful glance at the heavily made-up woman.
Having apparently just vented his anger, the woman, who was otherwise considered quite attractive, looked like absolute trash in his eyes.
As he stood up, someone immediately stepped forward to help him put on his jacket.
Han Ying pressed both hands against the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the dance floor below.
"It's been a long time since I've seen any fresh stock. The quality at Burn City Bar No. 7 has really been dropping lately."

The woman at his side felt helpless. Even a woman like her, who made a living by selling her body, wanted to turn over a new leaf upon hearing that Han Ying was coming, while other women fled in terror at the mere mention of his name.
Youthful and energetic young girls, in particular, were Han Ying's favorite targets for hunting.
Yet once a girl caught Han Ying's eye, her fate was too miserable for words!
Just as the woman was about to say something, Han Ying's eyes lit up. His gaze locked like radar onto Gu Xiaoyuan, who had become the center of attention on the dance floor.
"Absolute perfection. Where did this little cutie come from? How come I've never seen her before?"
Hearing this, the woman stood up, looked over, and shook her head. "Never seen her. She doesn't look like she works here; she must be a guest."
"Master Han, should I send someone to invite her over for you?"
A sycophant immediately stepped forward to offer his services.
Han Ying shook his head, licking the corner of his mouth. "What fun would that be? A little wildflower like that is much more satisfying to pluck yourself. That's when it gives you a real sense of accomplishment."
"Let's go, bring the boys and let's go down to have some fun."
Watching Han Ying and his entourage leave, the woman cast another glance at Gu Xiaoyuan on the dance floor and sighed, as if she could already foresee Gu Xiaoyuan's tragic end.
The already noisy dance floor became somewhat chaotic as Han Ying and his gang pushed their way through.
When some patron angrily protested and cursed, he was met with a resounding slap across the face.
Realizing the identity of the newcomers, the partying men and women immediately shrank back in fear.
Swaggering all the way, Han Ying, surrounded by his cronies, reached the center of the dance floor.
By this time, Gu Xiaoyuan, who had been dancing gracefully moments before, also sensed that something was amiss. Feeling Han Ying's undisguised, beastly gaze fixed upon her, she crossed her arms half-genuinely, half-playfully, and said nervously, "Who... who are you? What do you want?"
"Hehe, I want you!" Han Ying's throat bobbed. Up close, he found Gu Xiaoyuan even more to his exact taste.
"Little cutie, come with me. Big brother will take good care of you."
Saying this, Han Ying reached out his demonic claws toward Gu Xiaoyuan.
"No, stay away from me!" Gu Xiaoyuan shrieked in apparent terror, scrambling to squeeze through the crowd.
Seeing her stumbling in panic only whetted Han Ying's appetite further. Rubbing his hands together lewdly, he sneered, "Little cutie, where are you trying to run? Let big brother give you a hug and a kiss."
"Don't come over! If you take another step, I'm going to scream for help!"
"Go ahead and scream. Here in Burn City Bar No. 7, let's see how many people dare to cross me."
Seeing that Gu Xiaoyuan was trapped and struggling to move amidst the tight crowd while Han Ying closed in step by step, just as he was about to lay his hands on her, a figure burst through the crowd and, without a word of warning, slammed a fist straight into Han Ying's face.
"Who's there?!"
