Chapter 1280
The old king of the City of Hell was on the run?
Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.
This great king who once ruled the entire underground world was running for his life?
Li was somewhat unable to ept Luo''s words.
Luo seemed to be able to tell that there were doubts in her mind and said, "All of what I have just
told you wasn''t made up by us, but spread by those people. They said that the old king of hell had
offended some powerful forces. If it weren''t for the fact that the other party wanted to give the old
king a chance to admit his mistakes and start a new life, he would have been killed long ago, but I
heard that the old king of hell seemed ungrateful and even stole some treasure that belonged to
some force and ran away."
"This..." Li opened her mouth, unsure what to say.
The King of Hell, Radiant Ind, their existence has been godly to the members of the underworld
forces in the recent years. There had been countless rumours saying that he had died, but each
time, that man made his return like a king.
Yet news of the man being hunted was spread once again, and Radiant Ind was about to fall.
How much of this news was true?
"I know what you are thinking." Luo poured himself another cup of rum. "There had been many
malicious rumours about the old King of Hell, but all of those were no more than rumours, no one
really dared to do anything to Radiant Ind. However, this time, it''s different. The City of Hell
created Dark Ind on his own. Simply by that name, doesn''t that tell you enough?"
Li picked up the ss in front of her and down the rum in one gulp, then said, "I still can''t ept
that."
Luo sighed and said, "We can only observe the matters of these big shots. To or not to ept, we
have no say about that. As for the specific situation, it should be clear at the meeting tomorrow. First
have something to eat, then I''ll arrange for you to enter the city."
Li nodded and ate some food with Henry. After a short rest, Luo led them out of the centre.
Luo lived in a small town. Most of those people who lived in the town were originally members of
underground forces. Everyone knew this, but no one said anything about it. They got along with
each other as if they were a group of ordinary people.
A truck filled with supplies stopped in the town. Luo told Li that the supplies on the vehicle were
meant for Steel City. Hundreds of vehicles simr to the one that was stopped in their town would
head into Steel City with simr supplies almost daily.
Henry and Li then boarded the rear of the truck. At the same time, Henry also noticed many
entering the rear of the truck. Many people in the town saw this, but they all kept quiet about it and
pretended to not see anything. If people came to investigate on this matter, no one could be held
responsible.
Henry and Li hid within the supplies. Soon enough, the truck set off, and the back of the truck was
covered with a tarpaulin. Unless the tarpaulin on the back of the truck was pulled down and the
supplies were removed, no one could see that people were hiding inside.
There were more than ten people hiding in the back of the truck, among them were men and
women, the old and the young. Right beside Henry was a brown-haireddy less than 30 years old.
She held a child in her arms. The child was just over a year old, and kept making noises. The young
woman was very afraid and kept trying tofort the child in order to silence it.
Henry peeked through the ck tarpaulin that covered the back of the truck. He could see that
there were at least 30 trucks simr to the one he was on driving towards Steel City.
Although there were many people hiding behind the truck, no one said a single word. The
atmosphere was very depressing.
Before Henry and Li got on the truck, Luo had told them that those who wanted to enter the city
secretly were more or less people who had gotten into trouble outside and wanted to seek refuge in
there.
If there were demands, there would be supply. If someone wanted to sneak into the city, there would
definitely be someone making arrangements inside the city.
These trucks that hid people soon arrived at the entrance of Steel City.
Those who dared to carry out these actions, were naturally well prepared.
Henry hid in the truck and could hear some sounds outside of it.
"They''ve gotten very strict these days. Whatever you do, behave yourselves, understand?"
"Got it, got it."
This was obviously the gatekeeper scolding the driver.
Henry shook his head, but he did not feel anything much about the gatekeeper that had been
bribed. This was something that existed everywhere.
Just as the truck started moving again, a wail sounded beside Henry.
This startled everyone who hid in the back of the truck. It was the child in the arms of the young
lady.
The truck that was supposed to be moving suddenly came to a halt.
The youngdy was struck by panic, she was scared out of her wits. They were very clear that if
they were found sneaking into the city, none of them would end up well.
Someone beside her quickly reached out with a hand to cover the child''s mouth.
The child''s face flushed scarlet, and it whimpered, obviously feeling very ufortable, but the
person who covered the child''s mouth did not dare to let go.
The people in the back of the truck were all on tenterhooks. After more than ten seconds, the truck
started moving again, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The truck continued moving. The child in the youngdy''s embrace shut its mouth in fear because
of what had just happened. Looking at how its little eyes had gone nk, it was obviously badly
frightened. This child was only a little over a year old, it knew nothing and was very easily
frightened.
The youngdy held the child and coaxed him softly.
The truck suddenly stopped, and furious shouts rang out from outside the truck.
"D*mn it, you, get down here!"
As soon as the shouts sounded, the ck tarpaulin that covered the back of the truck was pulled
off. A strong man jumped onto the truck from the side and grabbed the youngdy by her hair.
"F*ck, you almost got me killed, you know?!"
As the man spoke, he pped the youngdy in the face.
Thedy let man p her as he liked. All she did was hold her child in a tight embrace.
Nobody said anything. Everybody knew how dangerous it was back there. One mistake and
everybody shall die.
"Crack, crack!"
The youngdy was pped twice in a row.
The anger of the man still had not subsided. He raised his arm and aimed to hit the child in the
youngdy''s arms. However, before his hand couldnd, someone grabbed his wrist.
"Forget it, it''s just one-year-old, a p could kill it."
A voice sounded beside the strong man''s ear.
The man turned his head and looked at the person who grabbed his wrist and swore, "That''s none
of your f*cking business. Get out of my way."
"We are all out here trying to survive, everyone here had risked their lives to get here, nobody owes
you anything. If someone makes a mistake, it''s fine to teach them a lesson, there''s no need to vent
your anger on the child." Henry loosened the strong man''s wrist. Henry did not want to get involved
in these matters, but he just could not bring himself to ignore some things.
The man''s anger was instantly directly at Henry.
