Foolish Underworld members knock urgently on Ding Hui's door, pleading for Divine Doctor Ding to save Song Zhenrong's sister with Miracle Doctor Mo's letter detailing mysterious demonization symptoms. Recognizing Song as her husband's attacker, Ding Hui's professional curiosity overcomes suspicion, and she opens the door to depart with them. Meanwhile, Fang Yu confronts the Forest Snake Gang's stand-in boss, who tearfully admits managing the gang and ordering the pursuit against him.

Tentatively, the Sen Snake Gang Boss inquired, yet he simply couldn't recall ever commanding anyone to chase down the individual standing before him.

So youthful, so formidable, a talent brimming with potential—if only he'd realized sooner, how could he have dared to provoke such a figure?

Fang Yu promptly folded his arms, striking a stance that screamed "keep spinning your tales."

"White Cloud Inn, second-floor guest room. Does that ring a bell?"

White Cloud Inn, second-floor guest room...

The impostor Sen Snake Gang Leader muttered under his breath, then his eyes abruptly flew wide, staring at Fang Yu in sheer terror.

"You're the one he commanded to be pursued, aren't you, sir??"

Fang Yu narrowed his gaze.

"Looks like you've pieced it together now."

"I'm innocent!"

The fake Sen Snake Gang Leader wailed in desperation.

"I didn't give the pursuit order—it was that old bastard who commanded it. I was merely obeying..."

Impatience surged through Fang Yu.

"Slay you, and the true Snake Forest Gang Leader will inevitably emerge. Without its head, the gang will crumble, erasing all he's built through toil."

Terror gripped the fake Sen Snake Gang Leader in an instant.

"Please, sir, show mercy! I've done nothing wrong!"

This fool just doesn't grasp it.

Fang Yu let out a sigh.

"On the flip side, eliminate the real Sen Snake Gang Leader, and you, the stand-in, rise as the genuine one."

The fake Sen Snake Gang Leader froze in stunned realization.

Moments stretched into eternity before comprehension dawned.

Excitement exploded through him, eyes bulging with fervor.

For years as a body double, he'd never dreamed of stepping into the real role.

Yet his shadowy master wielded crushing power—any hint of betrayal spelled doom.

But with mighty support...

The fake Sen Snake Gang Leader eyed Fang Yu intently.

A man who survived a hunt and struck back here couldn't possibly be feeble, could he?

"Sir, what are your odds of success?"

Fang Yu grinned.

Greed now flickered in the man's heart.

"If your words hold true, I guarantee full success! I'll aid you in toppling the true Gang Leader!"

The real Gang Leader's strength fell short of a thousand Qi, shielded only by loyal guards.

Guards hired by such a gang wouldn't boast exceptional might.

Generously speaking, they might reach House Captain level at best—Fang Yu's optimistic assessment.

Even then, relying on captain-tier fighters to safeguard a sub-thousand-Qi martial artist against him was pure fantasy.

A split-second opening in combat would let Fang Yu strike fatally, leaving no time for those guards to react.

Thus, Fang Yu brimmed with assurance in slaying the authentic Sen Snake Gang Leader.

Yet now, the fake Sen Snake Gang Leader wore a conflicted frown.

"I'd gladly assist, sir, but I truly don't know how..."

Fang Yu rolled his eyes.

No surprise this dolt freeloaded as a double for years—he was utterly clueless.

Only after years masquerading as boss did some cunning emerge.

When first spotted by the Sen Snake Gang Leader, he was likely a oblivious nobody, head down in toil.

"Simple: do exactly what the Sen Snake Gang Leader forbids. Provoke his rage, force him out."

"Provoke his rage?"

"Stop questioning—just scheme it out. Rally Sen Snake Gang's resources and hand them over. Oh, any elite martial arts in the gang? Let me peruse them. Supreme weapons or treasures? Fetch them all."

"Ah?"

The fake Sen Snake Gang Leader gaped, unsure if this was assassination aid or outright plunder...

"No 'ah'! Until the real Gang Leader falls, you won't touch the gang's wealth. All your sweat builds another's empire—you gain zilch. Better give it to me. Once I clear your path, Sen Snake Gang is yours alone! Picture that glorious future!"

Truth be told, the fake Sen Snake Gang Leader was swayed.

Endless drudgery for the gang yielded mere scraps, no true liberty.

The gang's treasures? Untouchable.

Its martial techniques? Forbidden to study.

Its powerhouses? Unfreely commanded.

Gang members obeyed him outwardly, but one wrong move brought the real leader's wrath.

These days dragged on for him, each one stretching like a full year.

His life felt like constantly treading on thin ice.

He... he had endured enough!

This was his shot at breaking free!

The woman he never dared lay a hand on, he now yearned to touch!

The pleasures he couldn't savor, he wanted to indulge in!

The powerhouses he couldn't boss around, he desired to command!

All of the Sen Snake Gang is his! Utterly his! It belongs to him by right!

Years of loyalty, years of toil—the Sen Snake Gang belongs to him! It's his Sen Snake Gang! Not that elusive shadow's who barely shows up!

"Sir, I know what to do now!"

The phony Gang Leader of Sen Snake Gang lifted his head, locking eyes with Fang Yu, determination shining in his gaze.

He planned to unleash total chaos across the entire Sen Snake Gang, making it spiral out of control, so he could finally lure that old man out for a showdown!

"Please, sir, stay in the gang for a few days, I will soon force that old fellow out!"
