My Waste Husband -
Chapter 1280
Chapter 1280
The old king of the City of Hell was on the run?
This great king who once ruled the entire underground world was running for his life?
Li was somewhat unable to accept Luo's words.
Luo seemed to be able to tell that there were doubts in her mind and said, "All of what I have just told you wasn't made up by us, but spread by those people. They said that the old king of hell had offended some powerful forces. If it weren't for the fact that the other party wanted to give the old king a chance to admit his mistakes and start a new life, he would have been killed long ago, but I heard that the old king of hell seemed ungrateful and even stole some treasure that belonged to some force and ran away."
"This..." Li opened her mouth, unsure what to say.
The King of Hell, Radiant Island, their existence has been godly to the members of the underworld forces in the recent years. There had been countless rumours saying that he had died, but each time, that man made his return like a king.
Yet news of the man being hunted was spread once again, and Radiant Island was about to fall. How much of this news was true?
"I know what you are thinking." Luo poured himself another cup of rum. "There had been many malicious rumours about the old King of Hell, but all of those were no more than rumours, no one really dared to do anything to Radiant Island. However, this time, it's different. The City of Hell created Dark Island on his own. Simply by that name, doesn't that tell you enough?"
Li picked up the glass in front of her and down the rum in one gulp, then said, "I still can't accept that."
Luo sighed and said, "We can only observe the matters of these big shots. To or not to accept, we have no say about that. As for the specific situation, it should be clear at the meeting tomorrow. First have something to eat, then I'll arrange for you to enter the city."
Li nodded and ate some food with Henry. After a short rest, Luo led them out of the centre.
Luo lived in a small town. Most of those people who lived in the town were originally members of underground forces. Everyone knew this, but no one said anything about it. They got along with each other as if they were a group of ordinary people.
A truck filled with supplies stopped in the town. Luo told Li that the supplies on the vehicle were meant for Steel City. Hundreds of vehicles similar to the one that was stopped in their town would head into Steel City with similar supplies almost daily.
Henry and Li then boarded the rear of the truck. At the same time, Henry also noticed many entering the rear of the truck. Many people in the town saw this, but they all kept quiet about it and pretended to not see anything. If people came to investigate on this matter, no one could be held responsible.
Henry and Li hid within the supplies. Soon enough, the truck set off, and the back of the truck was covered with a tarpaulin. Unless the tarpaulin on the back of the truck was pulled down and the supplies were removed, no one could see that people were hiding inside.
There were more than ten people hiding in the back of the truck, among them were men and women, the old and the young. Right beside Henry was a brown-haired lady less than 30 years old. She held a child in her arms. The child was just over a year old, and kept making noises. The young woman was very afraid and kept trying to comfort the child in order to silence it.
Henry peeked through the black tarpaulin that covered the back of the truck. He could see that there were at least 30 trucks similar to the one he was on driving towards Steel City.
Although there were many people hiding behind the truck, no one said a single word. The atmosphere was very depressing.
Before Henry and Li got on the truck, Luo had told them that those who wanted to enter the city secretly were more or less people who had gotten into trouble outside and wanted to seek refuge in there.
If there were demands, there would be supply. If someone wanted to sneak into the city, there would definitely be someone making arrangements inside the city.
These trucks that hid people soon arrived at the entrance of Steel City.
Those who dared to carry out these actions, were naturally well prepared.
Henry hid in the truck and could hear some sounds outside of it.
"They've gotten very strict these days. Whatever you do, behave yourselves, understand?"
"Got it, got it."
This was obviously the gatekeeper scolding the driver.
Henry shook his head, but he did not feel anything much about the gatekeeper that had been bribed. This was something that existed everywhere.
Just as the truck started moving again, a wail sounded beside Henry.
This startled everyone who hid in the back of the truck. It was the child in the arms of the young lady.
The truck that was supposed to be moving suddenly came to a halt.
The young lady was struck by panic, she was scared out of her wits. They were very clear that if they were found sneaking into the city, none of them would end up well.
Someone beside her quickly reached out with a hand to cover the child's mouth.
The child's face flushed scarlet, and it whimpered, obviously feeling very uncomfortable, but the person who covered the child's mouth did not dare to let go.
The people in the back of the truck were all on tenterhooks. After more than ten seconds, the truck started moving again, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The truck continued moving. The child in the young lady's embrace shut its mouth in fear because of what had just happened. Looking at how its little eyes had gone blank, it was obviously badly frightened. This child was only a little over a year old, it knew nothing and was very easily frightened.
The young lady held the child and coaxed him softly.
The truck suddenly stopped, and furious shouts rang out from outside the truck.
"D*mn it, you, get down here!"
As soon as the shouts sounded, the black tarpaulin that covered the back of the truck was pulled off. A strong man jumped onto the truck from the side and grabbed the young lady by her hair.
"F*ck, you almost got me killed, you know?!"
As the man spoke, he slapped the young lady in the face.
The lady let man slap her as he liked. All she did was hold her child in a tight embrace.
Nobody said anything. Everybody knew how dangerous it was back there. One mistake and everybody shall die.
"Crack, crack!"
The young lady was slapped twice in a row.
The anger of the man still had not subsided. He raised his arm and aimed to hit the child in the young lady's arms. However, before his hand could land, someone grabbed his wrist.
"Forget it, it's just one-year-old, a slap could kill it."
A voice sounded beside the strong man's ear.
The man turned his head and looked at the person who grabbed his wrist and swore, "That's none of your f*cking business. Get out of my way."
"We are all out here trying to survive, everyone here had risked their lives to get here, nobody owes you anything. If someone makes a mistake, it's fine to teach them a lesson, there's no need to vent your anger on the child." Henry loosened the strong man's wrist. Henry did not want to get involved in these matters, but he just could not bring himself to ignore some things.
The man's anger was instantly directly at Henry.
