Chapter 503 - 502: Black Eye Order
"You mean this one?" Chen Tianlong raised a small golden petal-shaped token to Chicken’s face and asked.
"It really is the Black Eye Order!" Upon suddenly seeing this token, Chicken’s legs gave out for no reason, nearly making him collapse to the ground. He stared at Chen Tianlong in horror, "You, you, you..."
"You really are from the Black Alliance!"
Chicken regretted it immensely. The little token in front of him was indeed the Black Alliance’s Black Eye Order. This person was actually from the Black Alliance, and held a very high status!
The Black Alliance had a branch in Yunfu City. It was a giant-like presence, with numerous strong fighters under its command, controlling one-third of the underground industries in Yunfu. The president, Red-eyed Eagle, was incredibly formidable.
Not only was she very beautiful, a first-class beauty, but she was also exceptionally skilled, and extremely intelligent. In just a few years, she had expanded the Black Alliance from a small gang into an organization countless times larger than the Celestial Wolf Gang.
This Black Eye Order was a symbol of high rank within the Black Alliance, personally issued by the president, Red-eyed Eagle. Only those who were very loyal and close to her, with significant contributions, would have it.
Yet this little high school student in front of him actually had a Black Eye Order!
Chicken’s mind was suddenly filled with a thousand curses; this wasn’t just stepping on a nail, it was kicking the mouth of a tiger!
Seeing Chicken’s uncertain eyes fixed on the small token in his hand, Chen Tianlong, although puzzled, refrained from saying it out loud. He raised it in front of Chicken and asked, "Why, are you very afraid of this?"
"No, don’t!"
Chicken was so scared he kept retreating, as if the insignificant token in front of him were the Life-terminating Talisman of King Yama, "Boss, I didn’t know you were from the Black Alliance, I really didn’t know, please, let me go!"
Seeing Chen Tianlong remain silent, Chicken quickly thought and cried out, "Boss, rest assured, as long as I’m around, Old Zhao will never have to pay protection fees again, and I’ll assign two underlings to protect him 24/7 whenever he’s doing business, ensuring no one bothers him!"
"Oh?"
Now it was Chen Tianlong’s turn to be surprised. He hadn’t expected that after all the fighting, a small token would be more effective, and he couldn’t help but find it amusing.
He had initially worried that these thugs might come back and trouble Old Zhao, but now it seemed unnecessary to worry.
This small token was probably their biggest taboo; otherwise, they wouldn’t be so frightened. In that case, things were looking up, as the situation had been settled.
With the potential trouble resolved, Chen Tianlong contentedly walked out. Meanwhile, Chicken, having seen this grim reaper leave, still dared not move an inch. He never could’ve imagined that the real identity of this insignificant high school student was that of a high-ranking member of the Black Alliance.
The other thugs had long been scared stiff by Chen Tianlong’s successive moves. When they saw him coming over, they thought he was after them again. Each had a bitter face, tensely watching Chen Tianlong, wanting to run, but there were others behind them.
"Alright, it’s all settled. Let these pests go, otherwise they’d think I’m bullying them."
Chen Tianlong pointed at the guys and said, then suddenly noticed Old Zhao’s stall in the distance, a mess with broken chairs and tables everywhere, and some food scattered on the ground.
He thought for a moment, then walked over to the thugs, and regardless of whether they agreed or not, he quickly searched them, pulling out all the cash they had. After a cursory look, he estimated it amounted to a couple of thousand yuan.
At that moment, the thugs were not in a position to resist. It was something they had always done, and now it was reversed. Though they were internally greatly displeased, they dared not utter a word, watching helplessly as their money was taken away.
"Scram!"
Shouting at the thugs, they scampered away, rolling and crawling, without even a thought for their boss, Chicken.
"Chen, that was impressive, when will you teach me? It’s fine to be handsome, but fighting so well too, damn, you’re incredible!" Tang Bing and his buddies walked over smiling, having just let the thugs go.
"I told you, our boss’s fart even smells fragrant."
Damn!
Chen Tianlong was speechless. He was used to these cheeky guys, holding the money, then walking to Old Zhao and saying, "Take this money; I think it should cover the damages."
"No, no, no, I can’t take this. You helped me so much today, how could I dare accept it," Old Zhao had a bitter face, continuously refusing, yet inwardly felt no joy.
But Chen Tianlong smiled, forcibly pushing the money into Old Zhao’s hand, saying, "They broke your stuff, it’s only right they pay for it. Take it!"
Helplessly, Old Zhao had to take the money, express his thanks, and then call his granddaughter to start tidying up.
The granddaughter was quite obedient, quickly tidying up using both hands and feet.
Watching the busy silhouettes of the grandfather and granddaughter, Chen Tianlong sighed, thought for a moment, then approached Old Zhao’s granddaughter, smiling cheerfully, and asked, "Little sister, I always see you here when I come by. Attending school by day and helping here at night must be tiring, right?"
"Not at all!"
The granddaughter stood up, shook her head, her bright eyes staring at Chen Tianlong, and said, "I’m not a little sister, I’m Qingqing, and I’m already fifteen years old."
"Haha!" Chen Tianlong was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Oh, fifteen, all grown up. Right, here’s a little something for you. If those thugs ever bother you again, just show them this, and everything will be fine."
With that, Chen Tianlong raised a small token and handed it to her.
The token, of course, was the Black Eye Order.
Since that Chicken was so afraid earlier, it indicated that the token was highly intimidating for the thugs. Since it held no use for him, he might as well give it to them, ensuring that the Black Eye Order could serve its rightful purpose.
Though originally just a not-so-good token, in the right context, it could be considered quite useful.
Zhao Qing looked at the Black Eye Order in Chen Tianlong’s hand, hesitated for a moment, then took it, examined it carefully, and asked, "What is this? Why are those thugs afraid of it?"
Oh?
This left Chen Tianlong scratching his head, unable to explain, and he said, "I’m not entirely sure what it is, but those thugs were really scared of it earlier. So if any thugs come to cause trouble again, just show them this, and your stall will be fine."
"Really?"
Zhao Qing skeptically looked at the token in her hand, turning it over and over, finding it merely a finely crafted token, with no particular features.
