Chapter 16
Chapter 16
There was an auto repair shop in the western suburbs.
At night, after putting his six–year–old daughter to sleep, Maverick Wagner sat alone by the door, gazing at the starry sky, lost in thought.
“Wild Wolf.”
Suddenly, a shout pierced the silent night sky.
Maverick heard the sound and was immediately shocked!
He couldn’t believe that someone could actually approach him silently.
‘If the other party intended to harm me…
Wait a minute! The person actually shouted my code name, and this voice was so familiar!
Maverick looked towards the pagoda tree in the courtyard, and a dark figure stood under it, with a cigarette in their mouth!
“Boss, is it really you?” Maverick’s voice was trembling a bit.
A dark figure emerged from under the tree, and under the moonlight, a handsome face was revealed. It was none other than Magnus!
“The Heavenly Warlord, who dominated the underground world, was actually fixing cars at a repair shop. If this got out, wouldn’t people laugh their heads off?”
“Hehehe…” Maverick chuckled as he walked towards Magnus. “Boss, how did you get here?” He looked extremely excited.
“What? Are you not happy to see me?” Magnus joked with a smile.
“How could it be?” Maverick scratched his head. Although he was almost thirty years old, he acted like a student in front of Magnus, as if facing a teacher.
The two people entered a room. Maverick skillfully prepared a few side dishes and took out several bottles of liquor.
“Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
The two of them drank together for a while. Magnus, puzzled and suspicious, asked, “What happened to you? How did you end up like this?”
Maverick sighed deeply…
Back then, he was hunted down and fled all the way to a foreign country. When he was on the verge of death, Magnus saved him. Later, Maverick joined Scarlet Purgatory and made a name for himself as the Heavenly Warlord in the underground world. He truly gained both fame and fortune!
A year ago, after Magnus disbanded Scarlet Purgatory, Maverick returned to Clusia.
Only then did he find out that the woman he had sexual intercourse with years ago had given birth to a daughter for him!
But… That woman got married, and she married an old wealthy businessman.
And his daughter suffered inhuman abuse, not only often going without food, but even living in a doghouse!
At that time, Maverick was extremely heartbroken.
If it weren’t for his daughter, he would have gone on a killing spree.
In the end, he gave all his money to that woman in exchange for custody of his daughter.
Then he opened this car repair shop and relied on each other with their daughter.
Upon hearing this, Magnus bitterly smiled and said, “Life really is like a play, huh?”
“Who says it isn’t?” Maverick chuckled bitterly, and then he drained the glass of wine in one gulp.
He put down the wine glass, stared at Magnus, and asked somewhat excitedly, “Boss, did you come to find me because you’re planning to return to the underground world?”
“What kind of joke is this?”
Magnus glared at him and said Irritably, “It wasn’t easy for me to escape my past life, and I won’t go back to it. I just came to see you this time.”
In the end, he didn’t reveal his purpose.
After all, Maverick now had a daughter and something to care about. His life was ordinary, but he lived comfortably. Magnus didn’t want to disrupt Maverick’s life!
However, how would Maverick believe these words?
He and Magnus were best friends who had been through life and death together. He could even understand the meaning behind the latter’s subtle movements. He frowned and said unhappily, “Boss, are you not treating me like your best friend?”

Magnus smiled faintly and sighed, “Your life is pretty good now. It’s better not to get involved.”
Upon hearing this, Maverick stared intently at him but remained silent.
Upon seeing this, Magnus gave a bitter smile and said, “Alright, actually, besides coming to see you this time, I also wanted to ask for your help.” Maverick patted his chest, looking chivalrous and fearless, and said, “Boss, please don’t mention any help! Just give me your orders.”
“Alright,” Magnus nodded, not hesitating any longer, and slowly asked, “Have you heard of the Four Oceans Gang?”
He immediately stated his purpose.
“Damn, those guys must be tired of living!” Maverick said angrily with a cold laugh.
In his view, if Xavier had known that the person he provoked was the famous Lucifer the Great from the underground world, he couldn’t imagine what kind of expression would be on his face.
“Were there any weapons?” Magnus asked.
“Yes!”
Maverick waved his hand, “Follow me.”
Magnus followed him to an abandoned house.
Maverick lifted a tattered bed board, revealing a deep pit hidden beneath it.
There were long ones and short ones, a total of more than ten.
Magnus smiled contentedly.
“It’s time to do something good for the Clusians, Four Oceans Gang, you’re out tonight!”
At the southeast region dock, one of the two enforcers of the Four Oceans Gang, Raven, showed up there with around twenty lackeys.
“Lord Raven, you’re so naughty.”
Raven sat in an armchair, holding a heavily made–up woman in his arms.
“Bitch, don’t you just like it when I am bad?” Raven chuckled lewdly.
“Lord Raven, I hate you!” The lady’s delicate voice made one feel tingly all over.
At that moment, a lackey approached Raven and respectfully said, “Lord Raven, the goods are almost here!”
As Raven heard this, the smile on his face disappeared completely, and his expression became solemn. “Tell our men to get ready to receive the goods, and be alert,” he said.
“Yes!” That lackey began calling out to his companions.
“Lord Raven, I’m hungry. How about we go eat barbecue?” the lady said.
Slap!
Raven suddenly struck, slapping the girl across the face and cursing, “Damn you, can’t you see I’m busy with important matters? Get the hell away from me.”
“Yes!” The girl, frightened, hurriedly hid inside the car.
Meanwhile, a medium freighter gradually approached the shore.
Raven personally picked up the two large suitcases beside him and, surrounded by lackeys, headed towards the freighter.
“Hello, dear Raven, it’s so nice to see you again.“.
A dark–skinned man, accompanied by about ten lackeys, walked off the freighter.
Raven laughed and said, “Come on, Barry, we can just skip the formalities!”
While talking, the two people shared a hug, and it seemed like they had a good relationship.
“Alright, let’s focus on the important matter.”
Raven said, handing over the two large suitcases in his hands, “You check them.”
Barry handed the suitcase to the lackey beside him and laughed, “No need for that. It’s not like it’s our first time working together!”
After speaking, they waved their hand. Someone immediately came down from the freighter carrying a leather suitcase,
Baven took the suitcase from the other person, opened it to take a look, and smiled with satisfaction.
“I’ll be going now. Come visit me when you have time,” Barry suggested as he said goodbye.
“Yeah, of course. I really liked the women from your place.”

Chapter 16
Raven said and once again embraced Barry.
Just as the two of them were parting ways. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.
Raven was seen lying on the ground with a bloody hole in the center of his forehead.
“What the heck? They set a trap for us! Guys, hurry up and grab your weapons!” a man shouted from within the crowd.
The members of the Four Oceans Garig quickly became alert and showed their weapons one after another.
Barry’s expression changed suddenly, as he backed away towards the freighter and explained, “It wasn’t us. You’ve got it wrong!”
“Guys, take them down! Avenge Lord Raven!” the man shouted again, leading the charge as he fired at Barry and his group.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The twenty or so lackeys of the Four Oceans Gang responded to the call and immediately launched a fierce attack on Barry’s group.
“Damn, a bunch of idiots!”
Barry was shot in the abdomen and, cursing, he escaped towards the freighter.
And his subordinate also launched a counterattack.
In just a short moment, several corpses were added to the ground.
At that moment, the man who had previously blended into the crowd quietly retreated to a corner. He tore off a human skin mask from his face, revealing a handsome visage.
Who else could it be besides Magnus?
