Kong Lan is dead!

When the news reached Teng Ling's ears, he stood up angrily and smashed the wine glass in his hand to pieces.

"What did you say?!"

"Brother Teng, Kong Lan is dead!"

The younger brother was startled by Teng Ling's actions, but he still repeated what he had just said.

And added to it.

"He died on the territory of the Sky-Piercing Gang! And, that bastard Liu Ren threw him off the fifth floor by his own hands!"

"Liu Ren!?"

Teng Ling looked astonished: "That coward?! Wasn't he obsessed with Kong Lan, always fawning over her? How could he suddenly kill her?!"

The younger brother shook his head: "The specifics are internal affairs of the Qingtian Gang, and we can't find out clearly. But... it's a fact that Kong Lan is dead. Her body has been thrown back, and her head is smashed to pieces. Chen Yang from the Qingtian Gang said that she was killed by Liu Ren."

"Oh?" Teng Ling's face darkened, his eyes showing deep thought.

He quickly chuckled, "Heh, it seems the internal strife within the Sky-Piercing Gang is more serious than we imagined!"

"Then let's..."

Teng Ling raised his hand to stop his underling, saying, "I'll go ask Brother Ding first. Tell the people on the perimeter not to make any rash moves. The battle to capture Beacon Tower No. 3 is imminent, and this is a critical moment. We mustn't let things escalate. There are still people watching us outside East District 1."

"Yes." The younger brother bowed his head respectfully.

……

The headquarters of the Sky-Piercing Gang.

Zhou Lan glared angrily at the two people in front of him and said coldly, "I've told you so many times, don't cause trouble for the Golden Crow Group these days. You two have completely ignored my words, haven't you?!"

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhou." Chen Yang immediately bowed his head and apologized, his attitude extremely humble. "But Kong Lan is dead after all, and this news can't be kept secret any longer. The Golden Crow Group will find out sooner or later."

Zhou Lan turned his gaze to Liu Ren.

A distinct aura of malevolence swept over us.

“Brother Zhou, I never wanted to kill Kong Lan from the beginning. I just slept with her.” Liu Ren’s face was as stiff as glue, without the slightest fluctuation. “It was Chen Yang who brought people to force me to kill Kong Lan to prove my innocence!”

"Shouldn't you prove your innocence? Who knows if you leaked crucial information while sleeping with women?" Chen Yang immediately looked at Liu Ren.

“I have never betrayed the gang! If I have, I am willing to accept punishment from the Penitentiary!” Liu Ren retorted sharply, “but not to be subjected to your ‘private torture’!”

"Did I torture you?! I just wanted you to come back with me!"

"Heh, I don't have a single person under my command. Who knows if going back with you will mean going back to the gang!"

"You have no one under your command because you're incompetent!?"

"That's no reason for you to bring a bunch of people to see me!"

"you--"

"Alright, that's enough! Shut up, all of you!"

Zhou Lan, with a gloomy expression, stopped the two of them.

"We're all brothers from the same gang! Anyone who didn't know better would think you were mortal enemies!"

"Is this how you brothers act?!"

After being reprimanded, the two immediately lowered their heads again.

Silent.

Zhou Lan took a few deep breaths.

After calming down, he said, "Chen Yang, you really made a mistake in this matter. You shouldn't have brought a bunch of people to find Liu Ren!"

"Yes," Chen Yang replied meekly.

She was so well-behaved.

"Now that Kong Lan is dead, the Golden Crow Group will most likely use this as a pretext to make some underhanded moves. Take some men and keep a close eye on the Golden Crow Group. Maintain martial law around Beacon Tower Three during this period!"

"Yes!" Chen Yang immediately stood up straight to accept the order, then turned and left.

Zhou Lan looked at Liu Ren and said coldly, "Liu Ren, your ability to kill Kong Lan certainly proves your loyalty to the gang. But you shouldn't have been keeping an eye on Kong Lan in the first place! Otherwise, none of this would have happened today!"

"Yes," Liu Ren replied, his eyes lowered.

"Now that Kong Lan is dead, it's time for you to do something," Zhou Lan said. "Perfect timing, a new batch of people arrived today, and according to the rules, we should try to recruit them. You don't have any subordinates with me anymore, so go to the East Gate and finish the Martial Arts Festival for the guild. I'll be waiting for good news about your contributions to the guild, so do your best!"

"Yes," Liu Ren replied immediately.

At this point, the number of viewers in the live stream had reached 70,000.

The comments section was incredibly lively.

[Oh, it’s over, the martial arts festival! 】

[Second kill at the start, the streamer is probably really going to lose now.]

Wait a minute! You've all missed the point!

[The Martial Arts Festival, isn't it only those with P5 level strength who are qualified to go on stage?]

Is the streamer a P5 member of the Skybreaker Gang?

Oh wow, it seems that's really true!

That's it, there was still a glimmer of hope, now it's completely hopeless.

[p5... What bad luck, streamer, this is the third most deadly position...]

No, no, no, if we're counting by the time it takes to die, P5 has the highest mortality rate!

【why? 】

Because very few people can handle the characters in Persona 5!

Even a real-world black belt wouldn't dare say they could beat a P5.

[That's nonsense. Nobody actually went and carried out that.]

[Although it's just speculation, based on the power levels in "Eternal Night," it's actually quite close.]

Can a streamer beat a black belt?

[How can we fight this head-on?]

【…】

Liu Ren is clearly not at P5 level right now.

In the original owner's memories, he knew a little bit of martial arts.

But it's far from being a P5.

The reason he was able to rise to the rank of P5 member, who could lead a team, is because of this.

It's just because... the people above are gone.

That's right.

Because there's a shortage of people at the higher-ups.

Therefore, we can only select from p6.

Liu Ren happened to be a rising star in P6 at the time.

Therefore, he was directly promoted to fill the shortage of P5 staff.

But in reality, Liu Ren himself doesn't have the skill level of a P5 player.

In fact, it's not just that there isn't any.

According to the original owner's memories, his P6 was also mixed with a lot of exaggeration.

So—after he was promoted, all of Liu Ren's underlings died.

After that, no one dared to follow him anymore.

Because everyone else could see it too—this guy was all bark and no bite.

The mortality rate is too high.

Naturally, no one wanted to follow him anymore.

Liu Ren glanced at his cheat code panel.

They discovered that the only thing the original owner relied on was a single skill.

-

Street boxing: Skilled

-

In short, it's just about beating up people who have no fighting experience, with a handful of filling in their hands.

If they encounter someone knowledgeable and capable of fighting, they'll be instantly treated like a pushover.

The reason why someone with such terrible skills has survived until now and is still alive is—

That was all due to luck.

There is absolutely no strength involved.

"...He holds a high position but has no real talent. No wonder Zhou Lan had to sacrifice me to maintain stability," Liu Ren murmured to himself.

Zhou Lan could have had better arrangements, but they insisted on sending him to the Martial Arts Festival—a dangerous event with an extremely high mortality rate even for a true P5 player.

It's obvious that the goal is to get rid of him legitimately, to avoid internal strife and chaos.
