Chapter 18 Preparation

On this day, Louis wanted to go to Ghost KTV and pulled Jack out of school. Initially, Jack was a bit unhappy, but when he heard Louis say they were going to Ghost KTV, he immediately became excited. As it turned out, Louis had a rule that students from their club had to attend school during the day and could only go to Ghost KTV after school. Alan and his team were keeping an eye on the school premises.

Jack was so frustrated that he once said to Alan, "Why don't you ask the security guards at the gate to switch? " Alan earnestly replied, "Why didn't I think of that! I need to discuss this with Louis!" Before he could finish speaking, Jack beside him was already fuming. How could he not be happy when Louis came to find him today? He cheered and rushed out of the school.

Ghost KTV was bustling with business today, attracting a lot of visitors. This was mainly because Viv had brought in a group of young and attractive girls who could sing and dance. The girls were wearing sexy clothes, standing in the center of the venue, moving their bodies to the lively music. Their black underwear was faintly visible beneath their ultra-short skirts. Hundreds of people surrounded the area, cheering and jumping.

Louis and Jack saw this scene as soon as they entered. Jack fixed his gaze on the stage, his eyes unmoving. Seeing Jack like this, Louis shook his head and walked over there. Not long after, Steven ran over and said, "Louis!"

Louis nodded and asked, "Did the owner here bring these people?"

Because it was too noisy, Steven didn't hear clearly, so he pulled Louis into a private room on the second floor. Before long, Jack also entered and asked Steven, "Steven, where are those girls from outside?"

Steven ignored him and said to Louis, "Louis, those girls were brought by Viv to boost the atmosphere. Business hasn't been ideal here since Sexy Kitty down, Viv purposely brought in some pretty girls to attract customers!" Louis was puzzled, "Who's Viv?"

Steven said, "She's the owner here. She's also here today. I don't know if Louis wants to meet her or not?"

Louis nodded and said, "Since she's the owner here, I should go and meet her. What kind of guy is she?"

Steven replied, "It's hard to say. You'll know when you meet her! Anyway, she's a capable woman."

Louis stood up and was about to walk out with Steven. At that moment, the door opened, and a beautiful and sexy young woman entered from outside. She was dressed all in black leather. Underneath the black leather jacket was a low-cut, tight-fitting white tank top, paired with an ultra-short black leather skirt and black ankle boots. Her skin was fair, creating a striking contrast with the black leather outfit. Her appearance was also enchanting, with shoulder-length straight hair naturally falling behind her.

Steven smiled as he saw her come in and said to Louis, "Louis, this is the owner here, Viv!" Then he turned to Viv and said, "This is Louis!"

Viv approached Louis, extending her hand, and said, "I've heard of the famous Louis for a long time, people often mention you. Didn't expect you to be so young!"

Louis shook Viv's hand and replied, "You're too kind! " Viv laughed and said, "Please have a seat." The three of them sat down, and Louis started chatting with Viv.

Jack sat by the side. Ever since Viv entered the room, Jack's eyes hadn't left her body. He couldn't help but feel a bit regretful; she was indeed stunning, but a bit older. Despite this, Jack couldn't help feeling a bit aroused. His face turned slightly red, he lowered his head, looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he let out a sigh of relief.

After chatting for a while, Louis suddenly asked, "Viv, you've been around in the social scene for a long time. Do you know where to find the cheapest Crystal around?"

Viv pondered for a moment and said, "I know that most of the supply here comes from the three major gangs. With Sword falling, the gangs are in chaos, and there's a trend of some of them collapsing. Dragon and Devil should be good sources, with reasonable prices."

Louis shook his head, saying, "Since all the gangs in the city go to them for supply, the prices should be fairly fixed. I'm looking for a new source, preferably not in the city area. Somewhere not many people know about."

Viv nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. Let me think." After a moment, she continued, "I do recall something. There's a person named Finger in H Village who deals in Crystal. He used to be quite prominent, and many people used to get their supplies from him. However, the police raided his place several times. It seems he's become more low-key now, and not many people go to him anymore."

Louis nodded and asked, "Do you know how to contact Finger, Viv?"

Viv said, "I have his business card. I'm not sure if it's still valid, but I can give it to you when you leave."

Louis replied: "Thank you so much, Viv!" Viv smiled charmingly, "Don't mention it, we're kind of in the same circle, after all! You're much better than Sexy Kitty, at least you won't take advantage of me~~"

Seeing Louis slightly embarrassed, Steven laughed and said, "Louis is still young, Viv, don't tease him!" Viv chuckled and said, "I was just joking! Louis, don't take it seriously! I'll take my leave."

Louis and Steven stood up to see Viv off. After she had walked a distance away, Steven said to Louis, "Louis, what do you think of this Viv?"

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.

Louis shook his head and said, "She's the kind who's wishy-washy, most likely unreliable. But I think what Finger said should be reliable. Once we have the capital, I'll go to H Village and find Finger."

Steven frowned and said, "I'm just worried that it might be like Viv said – we won't be able to find him."

Louis replied, "We'll figure it out when the time comes!" After saying that, he turned and noticed Jack sitting on the couch lost in thought. Steven went up and kicked him, saying, "Jack, what are you doing?"

Jack snapped out of his reverie, his face turning red, and he lowered his head. Steven paused for a moment, then burst into laughter suddenly. Seeing Louis looking at him with confusion, Steven said, "This kid is in the mood for romance!" After hearing Steven's words, Jack lowered his head even further, displaying a classic ostrich mentality.

Louis patted Jack on the shoulder and walked outside. After sitting in the disco for a while, Louis couldn't stand the deafening music and screams. He asked Steven to fetch Finger's business card from Viv, and then he pulled Jack away.

Walking on the relatively quiet street, Louis felt much more relaxed. He glanced at Jack, who was looking down and understood his thoughts. He said softly, "Jack, I think it's time for you to get a girlfriend!"

Jack said, "The ones I'm interested in don't seem to be interested in me, and the ones interested in me are not to my liking. Louis, what should I do?"

Louis himself was no expert in love matters, so he couldn't come up with any particular advice. He said, "Let emotions happen naturally! But remember, don't mess with Viv – she's not a woman you can handle!"

Jack agreed with a nod, even though he knew he shouldn't, he found himself infatuated with a woman ten years older. Seeing Jack's expression, Louis shook his head inwardly and thought that he should help Jack find a suitable girl to prevent him from getting lost in his thoughts.

Two days later, Eric and the others returned. They didn't dare to go to the school to find Louis and went directly to Spring KTV. This place had already become a gathering spot for Nightmare; anything that happened usually started here. Ever since Steven went to Ghost KTV, there were far fewer guys here. After Eric arrived, he dispatched two people to separately find Louis and Steven. Then, with the others, they moved the things they had brought back into the inner room.

After half an hour, Louis and the other main members arrived. When Louis saw Eric, he asked, "Eric, did you buy it?"

Eric nodded and said, "Louis, let's go inside and take a look!" The group of people entered the inner room. On the floor of the room were three large bags, bulging from what everyone guessed were guns inside.

Eric opened one of the bags and took out a two-foot-long double-barreled shotgun, handing it to Louis, saying, "Louis, what do you think of this?"

Louis took the shotgun in his hand and examined it. It didn't feel very heavy. Apart from playing with toy guns when he was young, he had no real understanding of actual guns. He thought, "I don't know if this gun is good or bad!" Louis didn't say anything and handed the gun to Steven. Although Steven was a bit older, he couldn't make much sense of this shotgun either.

Eric said to Louis, "Louis, these shotguns are much cheaper than we imagine, costing less than 100 dollars each. This time I brought back thirty of them. It wasn't much; my relatives helped me scour the whole village. Oh, and there are also three handguns. There's only this much, and I really couldn't find any more!" He took out three handguns from his clothes.

Louis nodded in satisfaction and asked, "How many bullets did you bring back?"

Eric smiled and said, "Bullets are both cheap and numerous, only a few cents per round. Most of them are given when you buy the guns. Altogether, there must be over ten thousand rounds!"

Louis picked up the shotgun and asked Eric, "Have you used this gun?"

Eric said, "In these past few days, a few of us have gone to the mountains several times and tested the guns. They have a powerful impact. We shot down rabbits within fifty meters, leaving them full of holes. The recoil is a bit strong, though, and it takes some getting used to!"

Louis played with the shotgun in his hand and thought to himself: Buying a gun isn't for intimidating people; when a crisis comes, we'll still need to use it. The concern is that people might not control the gun well the first time and injure their own. Louis said to everyone, "Is there a place nearby where we can practice shooting?"

After some thought, they realized it was difficult to find a shooting range in the urban area. It was densely populated and spread out. Henry said: "Louis! It might not work in the city, but the suburbs are an option. Especially the western suburbs, they're desolate with vast open grasslands."

Jack added, "Suburbs might be fine, but we can't just drive around with guns in our hands. People might think we're going to rob a bank!"

Others agreed with Jack's point and nodded in agreement.

Louis pondered for a moment and said to Steven, "Steven, find a way to buy a used MPV. It can be a bit beat up, as long as it's drivable. Then find someone who can drive and help them get a driver's license!"

Steven nodded and said, "Sure, that's doable. Consider it done on my end!"

Louis glanced at the three large bags and said, "Hide the guns well! Don't let anyone outside know about the guns. Just having guns doesn't make us powerful; it might cause trouble everywhere. If I find out who leaks this information, I won't let them off lightly. Got it?"

Everyone responded in unison, "Got it, Louis!"

Louis nodded and told the group, "Once we get the car, we'll start practicing shooting!"

"Alright, that's all for now. You all can leave!" The group dispersed.

Louis stopped Steven and asked, "How's the progress on the Tiger investigation?" Steven whispered, "We've figured out the address. There are probably between ten to twenty people. If everyone becomes proficient with their shooting and we execute a surprise attack, we can eliminate them in no more than two rounds of assault."

"Is the information reliable?" Steven smirked and said, "I have a friend inside Tiger. He won't deceive me. Plus, I've personally been there once."

"Alright! Still, be cautious. Steven, double-check everything. We have to ensure that we're foolproof and guaranteed to win in one strike. Otherwise, this organization we've just formed could very well collapse!"

Steven bit his lip and said, "Understood, Louis. I'll double-check everything." Louis held his hand and said, "Be careful. Even if you can't find anything, make sure no one discovers you snooping around! Prioritize your safety." Steven replied, "Rest assured, Louis. I know what I'm doing."

Two days later, Steven found someone to buy an MPV. This old car was so worn out that no one could even see its original color. As for getting a driver's license, it would still take a few more days to process.

Considering the tight timeline, Louis, on the same day the car was purchased, gathered everyone and took shotguns to the west. Despite their young age, all the men enjoyed playing with guns, and they were excited at the thought of going shooting. In the deserted area of the western, Louis and the others hung large pieces of paper with circles drawn on them from the trees. At his command, everyone holding a gun pulled the trigger simultaneously. After the gunshots, the paper was shattered.

Louis said to everyone, "Each of you, find a big tree to practice on! Don't use these guns to hit the target!" Upon hearing this, everyone went to find a large tree. Louis gave Steven, Eric, and Henry each a handgun. Jack said, "Louis, I want one too!"
