959: Chapter 955 Raid on Flying Tiger Gang 959: Chapter 955 Raid on Flying Tiger Gang The pickpocket looked smug.
These three were foreigners—so even if caught red-handed for theft, it would be pointless.
On the contrary, if he made the first move against them, they wouldn’t have any recourse.
“Swish!”
As he spoke, the pickpocket lunged straight at Ye Tian, aiming directly for Ye Tian’s eye!
Although one of his hands was being held by Ye Tian, the pickpocket’s other hand had a dagger.
No matter how strong Ye Tian was, he couldn’t possibly counter a blade with brute force.
“Hmph!”
Facing the incoming dagger, Ye Tian remained composed and unmoving.
Just as the dagger was about to strike him, Ye Tian suddenly pinched his fingers together, effortlessly catching the blade mid-air.
“What the…!”
The pickpocket was stunned.
In his years of thieving, whenever caught, revealing a knife would always make the other party back off.
But this foreigner before him had casually stopped his dagger with just his fingers.
Wasn’t this something out of a movie?
“This surprises you?”
Noticing the pickpocket’s astonished expression, Ye Tian let out a cold chuckle.
Then, with a slight exertion of force, he lifted the pickpocket—dagger and all—into the air effortlessly.
“My…
my god…”
For the first time, the pickpocket faced such an incredible situation.
He was in awe of Ye Tian’s strength—his finger grip alone was enough to completely overwhelm him.
“Beat it!”
Ye Tian snorted coldly and flicked his fingers, sending the pickpocket plummeting downward, his body slamming hard onto the ground!
“Crash!”
A crisp sound echoed as the impact shattered a section of the floor beneath him.
The commotion immediately drew the attention of everyone nearby!
“That foreigner’s strength is unbelievable!
He threw that guy onto the ground, and the floor broke!”
“Who are they?
There shouldn’t be any foreigners left in India, right?”
“Could they be illegal immigrants?
But they just came out of the train station!”
…
Onlookers began debating amongst themselves.
Surprisingly, these Indian locals weren’t shocked by the pickpocket’s behavior at the train station, but were instead more curious about the identities of Ye Tian and the other two foreigners.
In fact, nobody reproached the pickpocket for his thievery; instead, they seemed quite unhappy with Ye Tian and his companions…
“What’s the deal with these people?
Don’t they want to punish thieves?”
“Exactly!
Judging by their reaction, they must be pretty used to things like this.”
Even Alice and Dracula found it baffling.
However, neither of them stepped forward to intervene.
Ye Tian clearly had no trouble dealing with this pickpocket; their help wasn’t needed at all…
“Ow…
ow…”
Groaning in pain, the pickpocket struggled to his feet despite his injuries.
“You…
you…”
The pickpocket glared furiously at Ye Tian, his dagger trembling uncontrollably in his hand.
Though anger consumed him, the pickpocket wasn’t about to challenge Ye Tian head-on; Ye Tian’s strength was far beyond anything he could contend with.
In his frustration, he spat, “You three foreigners better not leave!
Our Flying Tiger Gang isn’t someone you want to mess with!”
With those words, the pickpocket scurried away in a panic.
As the surrounding crowd saw the pickpocket fleeing, they stopped gathering and dispersed.
Oddly enough, these Indian locals showed no reaction to the pickpocket’s thieving habits but stared coldly at Ye Tian and his companions instead.
The three foreigners couldn’t help but feel a bit uncomfortable.
“What’s wrong with this country?
They’re treating us as if we’re the bad guys!”
“Who knows?
Maybe it’s just how their customs work,” Alice and Dracula grumbled discontentedly.
None of the three pursued the fleeing pickpocket because they had more pressing matters at hand—namely, finding the three Indian monks they were searching for.
Unfortunately, the delay caused by the pickpocket meant the monks had vanished without a trace.
Where would they even begin their search?
“Boss, the monks are gone.
What do we do now?”
Dracula asked anxiously, but even with Ye Tian’s exceptional eyesight, he couldn’t locate them.
Clearly, it wouldn’t be easy…
If Ye Tian used his clairvoyant ability, he might be able to find them.
However, traveling abroad was fraught with unknown dangers, and he couldn’t recklessly exhaust his energy searching.
After all, he hadn’t fully recovered from his injuries, and as a foreigner in unknown territory, a clash with powerful enemies could occur at any moment!
“What do we do?
The best plan is to get help from a local,” Ye Tian suddenly remarked, taking both Alice and Dracula by surprise.
“Boss, we don’t have any friends in this town.
How are we supposed to find locals willing to help?”
Alice asked, puzzled.
Ye Tian, however, didn’t respond further and simply began walking in the direction the pickpocket had fled.
Located on the border, Redo was a small city, barely comparable to one district of Jiang City.
If not for the international railroad, the town would likely remain ignored.
Most people passing through Redo only stayed for the night before catching a transfer to other Indian cities.
This meant Redo had a larger population of outsiders than locals…
Consequently, underground organizations hidden within the city were relatively easy to locate!
The pickpocket had mentioned the Flying Tiger Gang, implying he was merely one of their underlings.
His thefts at the train station were effectively protected by the gang’s reputation.
Even if caught, being a member of the Flying Tiger Gang would allow him to evade punishment.
Ye Tian led Alice and Dracula toward the direction the pickpocket had fled, heading south of Redo.
Compared to the northern part of the city near the train station, the southern area was far more rundown.
Dilapidated buildings lay everywhere, and the residents of South City wore tattered clothes, looking exceedingly impoverished.
As they stepped onto the streets of South City, a rancid stench filled the air, overwhelming their senses!
Alice, having grown up in wealth and luxury, was unaccustomed to such filth and had a faint touch of cleanliness-related paranoia.
She’d never experienced a place as foul and grimy as this.
The environment made Alice nauseous, forcing her to slow her pace…
Ye Tian noticed Alice’s reaction and chuckled, “Alice, don’t compare India to France.
France is the city of romance, where gentlemen and ladies value freedom and cleanliness.
Naturally, a place like India wouldn’t measure up!
It must be hard for you to accompany me here.”
Sighing, Alice replied, “Boss, as a Martial Artist in Night King Hall, how could I let my personal likes and dislikes affect my mission?
No matter how dirty this place might be, I won’t back down.”
Continuing their conversation, Ye Tian and Alice ventured deeper into South City!
Here lay the slums—a maze of pitch-black rooms, narrow alleys, dilapidated houses on the verge of collapse, and dense, crowded masses…
Every face in the slums was gaunt and frail, their bodies reduced to skin and bones—a state even worse than in Africa!
But this was India, not China; and Ye Tian had no intention of concerning himself with these Indian poor.
Likewise, the impoverished locals gave cold, indifferent looks toward Ye Tian and his companions…
Oddly, in the slums, these three foreigners were even less welcome than they had been among the wealthier citizens!
“Boss, they’re gathering around us!”
Dracula softly warned Ye Tian.
As the trio ventured further into the slums, more and more locals started quietly encircling them.
Among them was the pickpocket Ye Tian had earlier disciplined at the train station!
“Big Brother!
It’s him!
He’s the foreigner!”
Seeing Ye Tian and his companions surrounded, the pickpocket shouted excitedly.
Then, a burly, muscular man stepped forward to face the trio.
“I thought India didn’t have foreigners anymore.
How are these foreigners still here?
And not only that, they dared offend our Flying Tiger Gang?
After crossing us, they still have the nerve to come to our headquarters?”
The gang leader sneered, flanked by subordinates wielding sticks, daggers, and other weapons.
Each one looked vicious and eager to act.
The leader of the Flying Tiger Gang appeared visibly arrogant!
“You could’ve walked the road to heaven, but instead, you barged into hell.
Since you’ve foolishly wandered into South City, don’t think you’ll leave alive!
Let me tell you something: India’s borders have been closed recently, and any foreigners within the country can be killed without breaking the law!”
With smugness in his tone, the gang leader boasted.
Meanwhile, the pickpocket Ye Tian had subdued earlier gloated even further!
“Hehehe…
Since you dared humiliate me publicly, now look at where you are!
On our turf, don’t expect any miracles!
Even if you call the police, nobody can save you now!”
The Flying Tiger Gang members began shouting…
“Just three foreigners?
Do they even know who they’ve provoked?
They should’ve asked about the Flying Tiger Gang’s status in Redo!”
“We’ve been an established gang since the last century, ruling over Redo for nearly a hundred years.
No one’s ever dared mess with us during this time!”
“The three of you won’t live to leave here today!”
…
The gang grew louder and more aggressive while the circle around Ye Tian and his companions closed tighter.
Ye Tian glanced dispassionately at the Indian thugs without saying a word, while Alice and Dracula behind him remained equally indifferent.
Frustrated by their lack of response, the gang leader roared, “Brothers, these three dare ignore the Flying Tiger Gang?
Teach them a lesson—make it hurt!”
With the leader’s command, the gang members swarmed toward Ye Tian and his group, their weapons swinging down with brutal force.
