I Have A Martial Dao World

Chapter 114: 114. Executioner Perez

The woman, upon seeing the large roll of cash Lu Yao brought out, was obviously quite tempted; it would take her half a year to earn that much!

And upon seeing the person on Lu Yao’s phone… the woman shuddered, her pupils dilated instantaneously, and her face showed repeated retreat in fright.

Lu Yao took off his sunglasses, and his eyes, brilliant as stars, immediately elevated his entire demeanor.

At the same time, he spoke gently, "Don’t be nervous, what’s your name?"

Perhaps it was his good looks combined with the soothing voice, or maybe the effect of the large sum of money, but the woman calmed down and softly answered, "My name is Ayla."

Lu Yao placed the money in her hands, saying, "Ayla… You just need to answer a few questions, and then we’ll go our separate ways. I promise you won’t have any trouble, and you’ll get to keep this money. How does that sound?"

Ayla nodded, took a deep breath, and said:

"Zhang Xin is the emperor of this city, ruling over everything here. All the gangs submit to him. He’s protected by the Star Alliance Country, and the government doesn’t dare provoke him; those who oppose him will contract terrible diseases and die miserably. People call him the White Tiger Poison King."

Upon hearing "contract terrible diseases," Lu Yao immediately thought—this is just like himself.

"So the Poison King’s ’poison’ isn’t referring to opium… It seems Zhang Xin has done this more than once."

"Where is Zhang Xin?"

"I don’t know, he hasn’t appeared to survey his territory for a long time. Moreover, he has many palatial estates, it’s impossible to know which one he might be in…"

Ayla clutched the money in her hands and added, "But the ’Executioner,’ who’s in charge of managing the prostitutes, should know, he’s one of Zhang Xin’s subordinates."

Lu Yao: "Where can I find the ’Executioner’?"

Ayla walked to the window, pointing at three burly, tattooed men at the street corner:

"These three are in charge of watching over the girls on this street. Today is the end of the month; tomorrow morning, the gang will take the girls who haven’t made enough money to the mountain for execution. You just need to follow them to find the ’Executioner.’"

Lu Yao nodded, stood up, and said, "Well then… goodbye, Ayla. You can rest here for a while, consider it a vacation for yourself."

Ayla divided the money into several stacks, carefully hiding it in her underwear, and at the same time said:

"Thank you, you’re a good person. But a few of my friends haven’t made enough money either, I need to go help them quickly."

Lu Yao didn’t mind, and they each busied themselves with their own matters.

~~~~~~~~

The nightlife here was rich, and the service industry was particularly developed. Lu Yao arrived on the street, and occasionally, prostitutes solicited business.

Some were particularly enthusiastic but with faces full of fear—they were the women who hadn’t made enough money yet and were about to be taken to the mountain for decapitation.

Just like everywhere else in the world, the sex trade is a traditional business controlled by gangs.

The three burly, tattooed men were patrolling back and forth. These men, aside from protecting the prostitutes, also had to exert great "workplace pressure" on them, keeping them focused on attracting clients to earn money, preventing any thoughts of escape.

Lu Yao went to a street stall and bought a celebrity mask.

Feeling good with the mask on, Lu Yao patiently waited.

When midnight came, the three burly men, regardless of the crying and pleading, bound the hands and feet of an old, less attractive prostitute who hadn’t made enough money and dragged her into the back of a Chevrolet pickup truck.

They did this in full view of everyone, both to eliminate the older and less attractive individuals and to deter the others.

Lu Yao was originally standing by the roadside, and as the pickup truck passed by, he leaped into the truck bed with a burst of leg strength.

At this moment, the woman was still struggling and screaming in terror, and the three men sitting in the truck were smoking away, paying no attention at all, and were completely unaware that they had an extra passenger.

~~~~~~~~

The car drove for nearly an hour to reach a small hill with beautiful scenery.

Already, more than a dozen vehicles were parked here, and over thirty fierce-looking brutes brought out eight women.

Some of these women were panicked, begging for mercy, while others had resigned themselves. Controlled by the gangs, day after day earning money with their bodies, death seemed a release from their hopeless lives.

They pointed their shoes towards their hometown and knelt down obediently.

In the legends of Latin America, a headless person cannot find their way home; they must use the tips of their shoes to point out the path.

As soon as Lu Yao got out of the car, his brow furrowed deeply. The hillside, blooming with little flowers, was covered beneath with headless remains!

There were also many wild dogs and vultures waiting in the distance, having grown accustomed to feasting here each month.

And Lu Yao noticed that among the women about to be beheaded was Ayla!?

She had been beaten beyond recognition and could only lie on the ground waiting for decapitation.

Lu Yao was still puzzled: Hadn’t he given her money?

~~~~~~~

"Executioner" Perez, responsible for managing the prostitutes of Guadala City.

He was massive, with extremely developed muscles, carrying a large machete as if it weighed nothing, and a huge silver revolver holstered at his waist.

Perez came here to behead only out of personal preference. At the moment, he hummed a tune as he approached the kneeling women, ready to start his work, when suddenly he noticed a "President" walking over from where their cars were parked.

Everyone saw this person wearing a ridiculous mask and drew their guns, cursing and shouting.

This President of the Star Alliance had built a border wall after taking office and focused on cracking down on Inca Nation immigrants, earning a terrible reputation there. With Lu Yao donning this mask, it was quite mocking.

But before their eyes, everything blurred, and the "President" had vanished!

A sharp-eyed one shouted, "On the ground! He’s crawling over!"

Lu Yao employed Eave Dragon Stake, sprinting close to the ground, while his Glock fired simultaneously, emptying the 17 bullets in the magazine within two seconds!

Enemies were practically at the same time spurting blood, with most of them only just having disengaged the safety on their weapons when they were shot and fell to the ground.

A few with quicker reactions did fire their guns, brandishing AKs, but with Eave Dragon Stake, Lu Yao was merely a foot tall as he skittered across the ground at high speed, and in the blink of an eye, it was unclear where he had run off to!

In the midst of chaos and frightened cries, the gangsters completely lost track of Lu Yao, firing wildly around them.

Lu Yao dashed past a corpse and picked up a UMP9 submachine gun, his spine acting like a giant spring as his body, propelled by Eave Dragon Stake, circled the crowd.

The "President" with the UMP9 fired wildly, casings flying out continuously.

The enemies screamed loudly as new blood holes burst open in their bodies, and within seconds they were maga, leaving only Perez, the obvious one with the big machete, still standing.

Perez, with a machete in one hand and a huge silver revolver in the other, fired repeatedly but couldn’t even see where Lu Yao was, "clicking" as he ran out of bullets and tried to reload.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yao surged forward, grabbed the muscular man’s neck, and hurled him against a pickup truck. The impact shattered the truck’s window and he rebounded to the ground, where Perez lay unable to move from the pain.

At that point, only a little over two minutes had passed since Lu Yao made his appearance.

He picked up the beautiful silver revolver, saying with satisfaction, "M500? Made for a big guy, eh?"

This was a firearm that shot .50 Magnum rounds, capable of killing a rhinoceros with a single shot.

Typical revolvers can hold six rounds, but because the bullets were so large, this one could only hold five.

Lu Yao immediately confiscated it, finding the weapon to be perfectly suited for self-defense in the Otherworld.
