“Closed, come back tomorrow morning!” shouted Chu Chongtian.

“Not doing business? You’re nuts!” shouted the people outside. “If you don’t want to serve me, let others do it.”

“They are not here, and I’m going to sleep,” Chu Chongtian said impatiently.

The sound outside disappeared, as if they had given up.

In the next second, a loud noise echoed.

Someone kicked open the tightly shut door, and a dozen men, who looked like rascals, rushed in.

“Good that there’s no one—” The leader was a man with a hunter’s hat. He had one arm hung on his chest, fixed with planks.

Halfway through, he stopped in his tracks and stopped mid-sentence.

The man with the hunter’s hat shouted as he pointed at Tang Luo, “Ha, that’s him!” He would never forget this face for the rest of his life.

Today, when passing by during the day, he had seen an unexpected sight, and immediately recalled that shameful day when someone had broken his arm and snatched his revolver.

Ever since he had started following this path, it was him robbing people! Not the other way around!

Hence, he had brought along some men for revenge tonight.

At night, thanks to Jack the Ripper, no one dared to walk on the streets.

During the day, their probes had also proved that Cotland Yard was powerless and perhaps even unwilling to provide for the small city’s security.

Now this small city belonged to them, the Ripper Gang!

“Oh, they are here for me,” said Tang Luo.

‘The good karma from the alms earlier, it seems that it will be expended tonight, unfortunately.’

The man with the hunter’s hat sneered. “Brat, bet you didn’t expect it!”

“Well, I did not expect that someone would come up to me to help me increase my power of virtuous merits,” replied Tang Luo.

The Ripper Gang had done things for the organization, but as relatively difficult gangsters that were hard to deal with, Tang Luo and the rest had not gone to cause trouble for them.

Today, they had come to them, out of their own accord.

“To deal with this kind of wicked person, the only way is to save them. Do it.”

As Tang Luo was talking, he whipped out Ill Omen and pulled the trigger.

‘To deal with such evildoers, there are no morals to talk about, just open fire.’

The sound of gunshots resonated through this silent snowy night.

The head of the man with the hunter’s hat burst open like a watermelon.

Soon, a sea of bodies littered the ground. One person was still alive, but Tang Luo shot him before he could pull out a gun.

The last thought before dying was, ‘These people were too unruly, and shot before going through the motions of cursing each other!’

“I feel like we are the bad guys,” Chu Chongtian said, sounding a little confused.

Six or seven days ago, he had just been an ordinary college student.

Now, he could shoot someone with a straight face.

Li Liang did not feel so perplexed as he was just holding his gun, and had not fired a single shot.

Their victory was forged by Tang Luo, Chu Chongtian, and Zhou Zhenguo, who had spent more than half an hour recovering.

“Survive first before we talk about things.” Zhou Zhenguo patted Chu Chongtian’s arm.

He didn’t want a growing combatant to suddenly become confused and lose his combat effectiveness.

“We killed to eliminate further evil deeds and to protect innocent lives,” said Tang Luo. “Benefactor Chu don’t take it to heart. I caused this matter, and naturally, I will bear the sins.”

‘…as well as the power of virtuous merits.’

“I’m fine.” Chu Chongtian shook his head. “It was just me sighing. This is not the first time.”

The reason for his complicated emotions was related to the current environment. It was easy for thoughts to run wild on a quiet snowy night.

Not to mention the dead hotel proprietor.

It was hard for Chu Chongtian not to wonder if he would be as merciless as Master Xuanzang and Uncle Zhou when faced with a man possessed by Jack the Ripper.

But upon further thinking, there was no need to worry.

To be honest, when faced with such an enemy, it was not a question of being merciless. He was already very lucky to have survived.

“What shall we do with these people?” asked Zhou Zhenguo.

There was a pile of bodies with gunshot wounds, and this matter was not as easy to handle as the hotel proprietor.

“Just nice, we’ll treat it that they had killed the hotel proprietor,” said Tang Luo. “And we are the special detectives of Cotland Yard, who came to help. We should be rewarded for our bravery.”

Tang Luo decided to let these men take the rap.

Chu Chongtian quietly thought to himself, ‘Master is indeed ruthless.’

The gap between them had suddenly materialized. Which temple exactly could produce such ruthless monks?

They passed the night with no more speaking.

The Ripper Gang and Jack the Ripper did not appear again.

It was like that for the next two days.

It was not just Jack the Ripper, who did not trouble Tang Luo and the rest anymore, even the Ripper Gang had quietly disappeared.

Tang Luo and the rest did not bother to care. They were fully focused on looking for clues about that dagger. Although it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, it was better than nothing.

Three days later, Tang Luo and the rest got a message.

Nearly 100 people had died under the hand of Jack the Ripper. Some of them were clustered together, and some were killed by Jack the Ripper elsewhere.

The bodies were discovered one after another.

The deceased were none other than the Ripper Gang’s members, who had been using the name of Jack the Ripper to stir up trouble.

No wonder neither of them had continued to cause trouble for Tang Luo and the rest.

So they were fighting and killing each other?
