God's Descent in the Magical City

Chapter 16: Dog Eats Dog

Hu San reported, "Stammer said on the phone that this kid only has a basic electrician's certificate, his skills are subpar, and he taught me how to stage an electrocution death in the basement garage, foolproof. Then, we had others discover and report it. I reported back that it was done and prepared to withdraw, but then Stammer changed his mind, claiming it was your order, boss. He told me to cleanly finish the job by taking the kid to the wilderness, bury him, and be done with it."

Upon hearing his name, Xiong Feng frowned but kept his emotions in check, coldly saying, "Continue."

Hu San replied, "I did as instructed, but who would've thought the kid would come back to life? Can you blame me for that?..."

Stammer interjected, "Boss... Boss Xiong, please judge this... Hu San didn't complete the task, pocketed the dirty money, and didn't return it, breaking the rules. How should we deal with him?"

Hu San defended, "The money went to my daughter's surgery. I planned to repay it gradually from my salary, but he refused. What else could I do?"

"That's bullshit!" Stammer retorted angrily, "That was fifty thousand yuan, and you only make six hundred a month. How long will it take you to repay? You clearly don't intend to return it. How am I supposed to explain this to the boss?"

Hu San, unfazed, coldly replied, "My family can barely eat, and my child is still in the hospital. No matter how much you push me, it's useless."

Furious, Stammer shouted, "You agreed to the killing! I didn't force you! I helped you, and now you won't repay me. You even teamed up with that kid to beat me up at the 'Good Come Again' restaurant. Today, it's you or me—if you don't repay the money, I'll kill your entire family!"

Hu San sneered, "That kid has such skills, yet you sent me alone to assassinate him? Clearly, you were setting me up to die! If you really want to kill my family, I'm ready anytime, anywhere!"

Desperate, Stammer turned to Xiong Feng, "Boss... Boss Xiong, you heard him. You have to stand up for me!"

Xiong Feng's face grew darker and colder as he snapped, "What are you arguing about? Dog eats dog? Infighting, is it? Always ready to kill each other!"

The two immediately stopped their verbal clash and waited for Xiong Feng's decision.

Xiong Feng turned his gaze to Hu San's face and sneered, "Hu San, you talk like this kid's some kind of thunder god descending to earth?"

Hu San replied, "If you don't believe me, ask Stammer. He felt the same wrath."

Xiong Feng coldly said, "No need to ask. Stammer already told me. But I still think you're exaggerating. You're clearly extorting money and unwilling to solve problems for others. If you handle things like this, who would dare to hire you or help you in the future?"

Hu San, groveling, explained, "Boss, I really did my best. It was only after Stammer conveyed your instructions over the phone that I dared to act. Otherwise, no matter how poor I am, I wouldn't have the guts."

Xiong Feng's expression suddenly changed, his eyes turning sharp as he barked, "Stammer! Did I ever say it was my instruction to Hu San?"

Stammer blinked in fear and stammered back, "Hu... Hu San, you're lying! I said 'boss,' but... but never mentioned it was you. He... he..." He trembled and couldn't finish his sentence.

Xiong Feng shifted his chilling gaze back to Hu San and slyly asked, "Am I the only boss in the world?"

Then, his tone turned fierce, "I think you're losing your mind. I knew nothing about this, but you're trying to pin it on me?"
