I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms

"Stay calm."

Chen Miao took out a cigarette from his pocket, tossed it into his mouth, and chuckled as he looked at Hungry Monkey, "Don't rush, I naturally trust you. Do you remember the time I took you to Fengtian City to buy stuff, and as we were coming out of the Seventh District, we ran into this woman and the man with her?"

"At that time, this woman was snuggled up to that Pretty Boy, mocking and jeering at you."

"You were very angry then."

"I told you not to be angry."

"Wait until I take you there, tie up that guy, and make him watch as you shatter that woman's heart, remember that?"

"Uh..."

After a moment of stun, Hungry Monkey scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Miao, you still remember that, huh? It's been so long, I thought you'd forgotten."

"Of course, I remember."

Chen Miao let out a sigh, "In my life, Chen Miao has rarely broken promises. Since I promised you, I'll definitely see it done. Besides, even if you have no feelings for this woman, after all the effort you gave back then, not to mention holding hands, are you content to let her die just like that?"

"You gotta bring her back to have your fun."

"You agree, don't you?"

"Otherwise, won't you regret it?"

"This..."

Hungry Monkey was at a loss for words for a moment, tears welling up as he said with a trembling voice, "Miao, you're moving me too much, I don't even know what to say. I didn't expect you to consider me, and even my d*ck."

"... Shut your mouth and get ready to go."

"Roger that!"

...

Just as Hungry Monkey eagerly boarded the Hell Bus, ready to depart.

Meanwhile.

Vixen was still crying and begging, "Um, boss, can I ask you one thing? When it's my turn later, could you go easy on me, leave me with a life?"

"Think about it."

"If you want to take revenge on Hungry Monkey, killing me straight away won't hurt him that much."

"If you keep me alive, pulling me out from time to time for a go, that'll be a lingering shadow for Hungry Monkey. Plus, if Hungry Monkey ever gets a girlfriend, it'll make her queasy, and you'll continuously stir trouble between Hungry Monkey and Chen Miao, right?"

The woman, bound with rope, kept tremblingly offering her suggestions.

Waiting for Chen Miao to rescue her?

As if! She knew her own affairs. Hungry Monkey, being Chen Miao's confidant, would kill her if he could, so how could he possibly let Chen Miao save her. Though she was about to be gang-raped on a live broadcast, viewed by many, ruining her life from hereon.

But... what she feared even more was that she might not have a life left at all.

As long as she wasn't dead, what was a gang rape?

With the right mindset, she might as well enjoy it.

With that thought, the woman even forgot for a moment the peril she was in, her eyes glazed as she licked her slightly dry lips.

"Boss..."

One of Zhang Wanlin's underlings, witnessing it all, spoke up with disgust, "Um... can I not take my turn with her later? This chick is too slutty, must be sick or something."

"Does she look like a sane person to you?"

"Quiet!!!"

Zhang Wanlin, his face grim, slowly and clearly said, "Everyone go down and set up the trap according to plan. You'll most likely not get a turn. Chen Miao will definitely send someone to save her."

"Why boss?"

The underling, puzzled, said, "I checked, and this woman really is washing dishes in Jingjiu City."

"It seems that most of what she said is true. If Hungry Monkey really doesn't care about this woman, will Chen Miao and his crew still come to rescue her?"

"Humph..."

Zhang Wanlin took a heavy breath, his expression extremely unsightly. On any other day, if an underling had dared to question him like this, he'd have slapped them already, but times had changed. The Zhang Family was finished, and to put it bluntly, he was but a remnant of the Zhang Family.

In this situation, having people still follow him and do his bidding was fortunate enough.

These people were not waiting for the Zhang Family to rise again; they were just waiting for him to disband them so he'd give them a bit more money. After all, even though the Zhang Family was gone, a big clan like that wouldn't have its accounts emptied instantly.

There was still something left.

That's why some were willing to follow him, and he, of course, couldn't afford to lose their loyalty at this time. So, he patiently began to explain, "You don't understand those at the top."

"Even if this woman and Hungry Monkey have no relationship at all, Chen Miao and I both know it too well."

"But he still has to come and save her."

"The reason is simple. Those bureaucrats at the Federation who enjoy the show don't know this. They'll think everything the woman said was an act of self-preservation, not taking it seriously. After all, I have that sweet photo of her and Hungry Monkey."

"Once Chen Miao doesn't show up, how will others view him?"

"They will see Chen Miao as the type who values life above all else, watching his confidante get tortured to death without willing to lift a finger to rescue her out of fear of taking any risk. His reputation will be ruined. Who would want to work with him after that?"

"So for the sake of his reputation, Chen Miao is bound to come."

"Got it?"

"You damned servants, how could you understand the thoughts of those above? All of you, fuck off and get back to work!!!"

Zhang Wanlin, who had been patiently explaining, couldn't help but become angry out of embarrassment as he saw the increasingly skeptical looks in his subordinates' eyes and finally couldn't suppress his anger and bellowed furiously.

The many underlings exchanged glances and didn't dare to say anything more; they hurried outside the warehouse to start setting up traps.

This would be the battleground for ambushing Chen Miao.

Of course, the location Zhang Wanlin told Chen Miao about in the live broadcast definitely wasn't here. It was remote, tens of thousands of miles away. Only after Chen Miao arrived at the first location would he gradually lure him to this spot.

...

"Hehehe..."

In the empty room, Zhang Wanlin looked at the plan in his memo and smirked sinisterly. For some reason, after this ordeal, he felt like he'd suddenly had an epiphany.

When you clearly tell someone that this is a trap, but they must come, their sense of crisis will be at its highest.

But once they arrive on the scene and find nothing, that tension in their hearts will instantly dissipate, and it becomes very difficult to regain it.

Then, under his command, he would continuously send his opponent to one new location after another. Each ordeal would loosen the tight string in the opponent's heart, and this process would subconsciously lower their guard at each new location.

And his real ambush site?

It would be halfway to the last location. At that point on the journey, Chen Miao would definitely be off guard. Who would expect him to launch an ambush midway and take his revenge in one fell swoop, then he could just assume a new identity and start afresh somewhere else.

Although the Zhang Family was almost gone, if you look at it from a different angle, there was no one left to order him around. He was now the absolute boss.

It wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

But the vengeance that should be exacted must certainly be exacted.

...

"What do you say?"

Meanwhile, outside the warehouse.

Zhang Wanlin's men looked at each other. One of the men lowered his eyes and whispered, "You've been with the boss for so long, you should know what sort of person he is. With the boss's brains, can he come up with any good ideas?"

"You've also seen Chen Miao's strength. Honestly, I'm not saying I don't trust the boss, but if Chen Miao doesn't come, that's fine. However, if Chen Miao really does show up, we might have to be part of the boss's funeral procession."

"It's the boss who has a grudge against Chen Miao, what does that have to do with us?"

"We haven't offended the boss from the beginning to the end. To die like this, wouldn't it be too much of a pity?"

"And look at how the boss has treated us. It's been nothing but insults and beatings day in and day out. The Zhang Family is gone, and he is no longer that Mr. Zhang. Yet, he still calls us servants. Can you stand this?"

"..."

The people setting up traps around them glanced at each other, but nobody responded. Although everyone thought the same, nobody dared to speak out. The long-standing authority of the Zhang Family made it impossible for them to even discuss such matters.

"Stop talking."

One shorter man whispered back, "If someone tells the boss, Big Brother, you'll be skinned alive. You know the rules of the Zhang Family."

"The rules of the Zhang Family?"

The man sneered coldly, "Have you all lost your minds? What Zhang Family? The Zhang Family is fucking destroyed. Now, we only have Zhang Wanlin. You all know his strength isn't impressive. Am I not at least one fold stronger than him?"

"Why should he act high and mighty?"

"Wasn't it because he had the backing of the Zhang Family and money?"

"What is he relying on to act high and mighty now? I say we might as well tie up Zhang Wanlin, force him to give up all his money, then we split it among ourselves and high-tail it out of here. Why would we need to suffer like this for the rest of our lives?"

"This..."

As his voice fell.

Many people around him were dumbfounded. The long-standing authority of the Zhang Family had initially made it unthinkable for them, but now it seemed to make some sense. It was well known that Zhang Wanlin wasn't strong; the kid rarely concentrated on improving his abilities.

Without the Zhang Family, with only him...

It seemed there really wasn't any danger, huh?

"This..."

The short man murmured uncertainly, "Rather than waiting to be disbanded and receiving severance, it seems we could get more money this way. And... we wouldn't have to engage Chen Miao in a battle to the death?"

"And I've thought of everything for the aftermath."

The man narrowed his eyes and whispered low, "We don't even have to kill Zhang Wanlin ourselves. We just need to tie him up and throw him on the floor. When Chen Miao arrives, he will surely kill him. Even if any of the Zhang Family survive, they'd attribute the blame to Chen Miao, not to us."

"Isn't this a better deal than ambushing Chen Miao?"

After this speech.

The people around put down the traps they were setting and looked at each other. They rolled up their sleeves and started heading inside the warehouse.
