Kingdom’s Bloodline

Chapter 673 Knife Bitch (Part 1)

In the warehouse of the Blood Bottle Gang’s meeting place, “Phantom Blade” Catherine stood out from the crowd and sat in the place where Ferg had just sat, casual and unfocused.

Everyone has a casual moment, but in situations where most people dare not be casual, casualness becomes a privilege of the superior, which can show majesty, uniqueness and power. She has seen this from two generations of Iris Dukes.

Of course, as for the armor under the clothes, the laces of the weapons, the mechanisms on the sleeve claws, the daggers on the leggings, the hidden blades in the boots, including the followers selected for this trip to Emerald City, these things that really concern life, Catherine has never and dared not be casual.

“Everyone present, especially those standing opposite, listen, and listen carefully.”

The Blood Bottle Gang members in the warehouse were nervous.

Catherine leaned back, enjoying the pleasure of being the center of attention, enduring the countless looks cast at her in the warehouse—shocked, frightened, flattering, shrewd, vigilant, disappointed, hesitant, ashamed, cowardly—whether from the front or the back.

"Many of you have been in Emerald City for a long time, including my old subordinates. You should know better than anyone what we rely on to take root, survive, make profits, and even enjoy a little respect and wealth in this city."

Everyone looked at each other, especially the gang members who were originally from Emerald City standing behind Red Viper. They all hesitated and breathed faster.

"It's not fists, it's not swords, it's not about life," Catherine knocked on the table, "it's about rules."

Many people had expected the appearance of 'Phantom Blade' because of the name "Catherine", but most of them are probably disappointed:

Catherine was not a beauty since she was a child, and the years later did not give her the luck of a big change. In fact, she was plain and unattractive, and her lips were a little crooked when she smiled. At the same time, more than 20 years of underworld career left her with thick and rough arms and thighs, and a butt and chest that were almost shriveled and flat in the eyes of many men, making people "have no desire".

But it was also because of this that in the early years, in the Blood Bottle Gang on the streets of Emerald City, she could really be regarded as a useful manpower and subordinate. The former bosses were attracted by her skills, skills, character and mind, rather than her face and figure or "there must be a woman in the room". Because of this, the eyes of the drunk and crazy gang brothers looking at her were normal.

Well, relatively normal. After all, being pretty in a gang like that is a misfortune: in Catherine's memory, her slightly pretty female companions, especially when they grew older and their faces faded, all ended up badly.

But that wasn't Catherine.

No.

It couldn't be.

Now, as the most powerful and prestigious big sister in the Blood Bottle Gang after the one-night war with the Brotherhood, she, 'Phantom Blade' herself, sat here calmly, her gestures, her breaths, could make others change color.

And she was quite satisfied with this.

But there are always exceptions.

"Rules?"

Nekra spit fiercely:

"You mean, the armistice agreement that allows the Black Silks to come and go as they please, and we can only obey it obediently?"

His interruption made the restless gang members noisy and clamorous again-of course, many of them were brought by Nekra himself.

"This is unfair!"

"Fuck the rules!"

"We are not vigilantes!"

"Revenge!"

Amid the clamor, Catherine glared at the red viper coldly.

This venomous snake is getting more and more annoying.

When Catherine received the report that Nekla was bringing all the men to the Emerald City secretly, she was not surprised at all, and even felt a sense of satisfaction that "here he is at last".

Unfortunately, she still needs him now.

Just like the Brotherhood of the other family has people like Roda and Feisuo, the Blood Bottle Gang has Nekla, and those difficult to control, difficult to control, and will definitely cause trouble in the gang have a place to go.

It is convenient to push them out to shield them.

After more than 20 years, she finally came to this position. From a habitual street thief to one of the few bosses of the Blood Bottle Gang, she must be thrifty and use every bit of value of everyone.

Bang!

"Rules," said the wanderer Ferg, who slammed the table heavily in the chaos, "The rules are, whoever dares to interrupt us when we are talking again will be responsible for feeding my fish."

After the words fell, the warehouse suddenly became quiet.

Ferg snorted coldly, and he came to Catherine's side, pulled out a chair and sat down naturally.

Catherine looked at Ferg sitting down and frowned slightly.

After a few seconds, Phantom Blade turned his head and continued in a deep voice:

"Okay, then go ahead. Those who are not convinced, follow Red Viper and fight the Brotherhood..."

Nekla looked at him viciously.

"I don't know if you can win, but I know one thing for sure," Catherine said coldly, "When you kill each other, the streets of Emerald City are covered with blood, the order is chaotic, the rules are no longer there, and all the citizens who think Emerald City is safe are scared into turtles..."

Catherine looked at the people behind Red Viper one by one.

"Yes, you may not be afraid, but when business trips no longer stop, goods no longer pass by, the market begins to slump, shops and workshops go bankrupt, and the money bags in people's pockets become flat and deflated, where will you go for protection? Fees and hard work, who to get a share of, where to do your smuggling and counterfeiting? Sangare, your dog fighting and cock fighting, Gutiérrez, your boxing matches and intimidation business, Garmandi? Ya's casino, and Roger's smelly little business... Without these, where are you going to get the money to feed your group of hungry brats, so that they can continue to call you the boss? Kong Ming Palace or the Jade Army Camp? Or can you just wear a red scarf and shout "Long Live the Blood Bottle Gang"?

There are different faces on the side of Red Viper, especially the famous bosses - Roger the turd, Gutierrez who engages in black boxing, Gamandia who manages the casino, Tarimi who does street business, and who specializes in animal husbandry. The businessman Sangarei looked at each other in shock upon hearing this.

"At that time, not to mention the big shots in the Kongming Palace, there is no need for the Emerald Legion and the Security Hall to take action at all." Kathleen flicked her sleeves and claws with a clear sound, "You will be so damn poor and hungry that you will kill each other. ”

"A very hungry piranha." Fogg sneered.

"I have been in the royal capital these past few years, picking up the mess left by a night of war. To be honest, the brothers there are much worse off than you are. It is far less comfortable than lying here counting money."

Kathleen sat on the chair, looked around, and sneered:

"So, does anyone want to make this place like that? If so, why don't you pick up weapons and follow me to Yongxing City? Don't be afraid, it attracts the attention of the whole country there. If you want to become famous, it will be fast. Maybe you are the next one. Maybe a cadre from the Eighth National Congress?"

Many local gangsters looked shaken, looked left and right unconsciously, and their throats trembled.

The men brought by Red Viper all frowned and became more alert.

"Of course," Kathleen leaned back and crossed her legs, sneering and adding, "It's pretty quick to lose your life there - it only takes one night."

"But, eldest sister..."

Roger the Dirty Egg hesitated to speak, and called out a name that could only be called by someone who had been with Kathleen before, but the latter raised a hand to stop him from talking.

"Do you think I am adhering to some pedantic chivalry and care about the 'rules' in the armistice agreement? Haha, no."

Katherine leaned forward, tapping the table rhythmically, and her tone became increasingly fierce:

"Eat enough food and protect the food - this is the biggest rule."

There was silence in the warehouse.

"As for you, Xiaohong, you are not standing up for them, nor are you looking for revenge on Black Silk, but you are teaching them to dig up their own roots," the Phantom Blade snorted, "and shit on their own plate."

Nekra stared at Kathleen in disbelief.

This fucking bitch.

Every time, every time...

Uh-huh!

There was a crisp metal collision sound, and Kathleen popped out the sleeve claws on her hand.

"Now," Kathleen's sleeve claws made scratches on the table, and she looked at everyone who participated in the mutiny, "Obviously, some people need to be taught good manners."

As soon as these words came out, many gang members felt chilled in their hearts, and many people subconsciously looked for an exit.

Red Viper couldn't bear it any longer, and he stepped forward:

"That's enough, what fucking rules! If you want to kill, you have to cut into pieces——"

boom!

Katherine interrupted him by banging the table.

"But, for the sake of the past..."

Kathleen narrowed her eyes.

"In other words, for the sake of wearing a red scarf with Zeng, no matter who is here today, who had a wrong idea and took the initiative to contact the Red Viper, or who was bewitched by him and entered the snake's den. , or maybe you have a sudden thought and want to fish in troubled waters..."

With a brushing sound, the Phantom Blade unexpectedly put away its sleeves and claws, and a smile appeared in her sharp eyes.

"From now on, as long as you are willing to put down your weapons and stand behind me, no matter who it is, I will give it a wide berth and let bygones be bygones," Kathleen said calmly, while her subordinates behind her had a stern look on their faces, "We are still in the gang. "Good brother."

As soon as these words were spoken, whispers resounded in the warehouse.

"Good sister." Fogg added faintly, sitting next to her.

Katherine tilted her head, noncommittal:

"How about it?"

At that moment, Red Viper understood something.

No.

Nekra turned back in disbelief: on the left and right, more and more people were avoiding his gaze, secretly looking at the capable manpower brought by Kathleen, and making silent calculations.

In the whispers, even those who were despondent and felt that the other party could not let go of the traitor and planned to go all the way to the dark side, at this moment, a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts, and they couldn't help but begin to hesitate, exchange looks with each other, and test their attitudes.

No!

"Wake up early, everyone," the field manager Franco said with a cheerful expression, "Can't you see the situation clearly?"

"These people are not satisfied." Jia Jia, the bad shoemaker, rubbed his gloves and said in disgust.

"Hurry up," Fogg snorted, "my fish are hungry."

The tense atmosphere in the warehouse turned into full pressure, and all of it was on Red Viper's side.

Finally, one of the gang members sighed, put away his weapon, raised his hands, walked around the round table, and came to Kathleen and Fogg.

"Sister, I, I didn't mean to..."

But Kathleen just smiled and told him not to say any more.

Soon, the second, third, fourth, fifth... more and more people, especially the local gang members in Emerald City, put down their weapons and hostility, or walked around the round table in nervousness and frustration, or flattery and apprehension, Come behind Kathleen.

The Red Viper could only look at this scene angrily, with eyes splitting.

"Can I, can I stand in the middle?"

The barber Balta and his men walked carefully to the edge of the round table. He looked at Red Viper and then at Kathleen, raised his hands and smiled helplessly: "You see, I am just... a barber."

As soon as this was said, the gang members on both sides booed with disdain.

Katherine frowned slightly, while Red Viper pouted fiercely.

The next moment, beside Red Viper, Roger took a deep breath, put away his weapon, and led his men out of the queue.

"Sister, I, I'm not dissatisfied with you... but my men were covered in black silk..."

"I understand, Roger," Kathleen smiled, not caring, "I understand everything."

As soon as these words came out, Roger felt a lot more at ease for some reason.

Katherine gestured to the seat next to her:

"sit."

Roger took a deep breath, and after taking one last look at the red viper, he turned forward without hesitation and joined Kathleen's camp - of course, under Fogg's intriguing eyes, he did not dare to sit down.

Taremi, who manages the street business, coughed: "Well, Boss Nekra, this is just a disagreement within the gang, right? I believe we can handle it well..."

Red Viper turned his head suddenly, his eyes cold:

"Get out of here quickly."

Taremi's expression changed and she hurried to Kathleen's side.

"Tarimi," unlike Red Viper, Phantom Blade greeted with a smile, "I heard that you changed wives again?"

"Yes, eldest sister," Tarimi said with a stiff face, "Oh, I arranged the last one properly, asked the priest to write the divorce documents, filed them in the notary office, and divided a lot of her property..."

Katherine raised her chin:

"sit."

In this way, more and more people left the Red Viper side and rejoined Kathleen and Fergie.

One after another, the situation in the warehouse was instantly reversed. Soon, Red Viper was left with only the direct staff he brought from the royal capital, as well as a few local bosses who took the lead at the beginning - Garmandia, Sangare and Gutierrez, but they also had ugly expressions and hesitant eyes.

hateful.

Nekra, the red viper who was left alone, gritted his teeth, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger.

This should have been an expected power grab.

But why, why!

Katherine responded to him with a generous, winner-to-loser smile, tolerant and generous.

And casual.

"I've heard about Phantom Blade Kathleen's reputation, and it's well-deserved today." In the corner, Glover squinted at the confrontation in the field and whispered.

Whether she was foresighted and turned against the guest, or she grasped the weakness of this gang's rebellion and shattered their arrogance and illusions with one word.

"That's right, that's the veteran of the gang, a powerful and tenacious warrior. He has resisted the Black Sword in the capital for many years and is still standing strong..." Tsimikas's eyes were full of admiration, and he thought about how to approach him and talk to him, "Kay Boss Saleen!”

"Did you say that about Red Viper before?"

"Impossible, how could I fall in love with a villain like Red Viper who is sowing discord... You must have remembered it wrong!"

On the other side, Rolf stared blankly at Katharine in the field.

certainly.

She certainly lives up to her reputation.

That's the eldest sister.

No matter how many years have passed, she is still so powerful, so charming, and still the undoubted leader of everyone...

It's just, just himself...

Rolf subconsciously stretched out his hand to clasp his calf, feeling the coldness of the metal.

Nekra stared at Kathleen, eyes burning with anger:

"Kathleen, you stupid knife bitch."

The Phantom Blade was startled when he heard this, and then smiled.

Knife bitch.

It’s really a familiar nickname, a foreigner I haven’t heard in more than ten years.

"I said, as long as you are willing to stand up, I will let bygones be bygones," Kathleen didn't care. "Of course that includes you, Nekra - we are still good brothers? Right?"

The red viper's face twitched.

In his heart, reason told him that this time, he was caught off guard and had a huge disparity in strength, so he lost.

Maybe it’s time to relent and save it for another time?

But his instinct told him not to: what happened today was bound to spread throughout the Blood Bottle Gang.

In front of everyone, as long as he takes that step and walks behind Kathleen, it will not be so easy for him to walk out next time.

Red Viper continued to struggle.

But Catherine no longer looked at him, but turned behind Nekra, and said with profound meaning:

"Or, the other brothers who followed you all the way from the royal capital or other places to come here?"

After the words fell, a close subordinate beside Red Viper sighed. He raised his hands and walked towards Kathleen: "Okay, I surrender too."

The corners of Kathleen's mouth curved slightly.

"If you can survive." The gang member said calmly.

Kathleen's expression changed.

The next second, the gang member who came forward suddenly opened his arms!

There was just a soft "swish" sound, and two rare weapons shaped like roulette wheels with sharp blades flew out from under his hands, spinning towards Catherine!

"Big sister!"

"careful!"

"No!"

In the exclamation, Kathleen's pupils shrank, she quickly stood up, and the sleeve claws protruded from her right arm!

clang! clang!

The arms moved back and forth, the claw blades flew, and Kathleen quickly and calmly knocked away the two roulette blades.

But just when others thought the crisis was over, Kathleen's expression changed again.

The next moment, one of the knocked-out roulette blades stagnated in mid-air, then turned back strangely!

Katherine gritted her teeth and took out her sleeves and claws again, only to find this strange weapon trembling in the air.

Soon, the six sharp blades around the circle were extended and bent in different directions, as if different limbs were protruding. It waved one of the sharp blades as if it were alive, parrying Catherine's sleeve claws. Take advantage of the opportunity to "jump" towards Kathleen!

Katherine yelled angrily. She pulled out a sharp knife with her left hand, her arms and shoulders made a "clicking" sound, and then she swung the knife and claws in weird postures and angles at an astonishing speed, even leaving an afterimage phantom!

Ding! Bang!

After a few crisp sounds, and under attack from multiple sides, the strange weapon in front of him finally broke apart and fell to the ground.

But Catherine felt a warning sign and changed her eyes:

I saw the second roulette blade bounce on the table, and it also transformed rapidly, stretched out the 'six limbs' blade, and shot towards her!
