Bako Gang
There was a banquet going on at this place. The place was filled with loud laughter, music, and the stomping of drunken feet. Many girls danced around the men, who cheered and tossed money at them with faces flushed with alcohol.
"That Sirius Gang is just a bluff," one guy laughed with a bottle in his hand. He took a swig and threw a handful of coins towards the dancing girls.
"Hehe, both the Anyu Gang and Sirius Gang fought. Anyu Gang was destroyed, but the Sirius Gang must be seriously damaged too," a skinny guy said in a slurred voice.
"They don't have any people left .We have already captured their stronghold, but they didn't even react."
"Tomorrow we will attack all their strongholds and then the headquarters."
"Yes, Yes"
"Bako Gang is the strongest."
The drunk men's were murmuring with happiness, not knowing the danger that would befall them.

Meanwhile, in another part of the town, Arthur was reviewing all the information they had gathered on the Bako Gang. His expression was calm, his mind sharp.
Bako Gang is a weaker gang than Anyu Gang, with only two late-stage body-training warriors at the seventh stage. There are also only 7 mid-stage body-training warriors. Nothing to worry about.
Arthur looked at everyone and saw more than dozens of apprentice knights whose strength is equal to late-stage body training warriors. He felt relieved there was no chance for any accident to happen.
"There are 14 of you who have broken through to the apprentice knight stage," Arthur began, pacing in front of the knights. "Including us older knights, we have 26 in total. This is more than enough to destroy the Bako Gang."
He paused, allowing the weight of his words to sink in. The knights nodded, listening intently.
"In each of the Bako Gang strongholds, 2 apprentice knights will attack," Arthur said loudly.
"The strongholds will be attacked by us old guys. You newly promoted knights will go to the Bako headquarters and slaughter them." Arthur gave them the plan.
"Your mission is simple—don't leave any of the Bako Gang members alive. Do you understand?" Arthur's eyes swept across the room, watching the reactions of every knight.
"Yes!" the knights shouted in unison, their voices filled with enthusiasm.
Arthur nodded in approval. "Then let's begin."
The knights didn't waste any time and headed towards the Bako Gang to begin their mission. They moved swiftly through the night, like shadows in the dark, towards their targets. The Bako Gang, drunk and unaware, never stood a chance.
"Young master, I am 76 years old."
'76 years old and still not a 1st level knight. There is not much lifespan left for him.
Luis had a deep look as he eyed Biggs.
"Do you have any experience in business?"
"Yes, I have when we first arrived here. I was the one handling the purchase of all the slaves and setting up the Chamber of Commerce." Bigs said nostalgia in his face.
"That was until I retired and handed it to my disciples." Biggs face became sad when he said this.
Luis was also sad seeing the sadness of Biggs. He knows why Biggs retired and stayed behind, taking care of the gardens. It was due to the impact of the deaths of his grandfather and grandmother.
Thinking of how his grandparents died, Luis clenched his fist. He will definitely avenge their deaths in the future.
"Biggs, I need your help. I'm starting a new business in a place I'm unfamiliar with, and there's no one I trust more than you. You've been with me since childhood, and I know I can count on you for this."
Luis requested, sincerely looking at the old face of Biggs. Although he is too old, Biggs is the only experienced businessman he knows.
Biggs looked at Luis, surprise flashing in his eyes. But then something changed. The sadness faded, replaced by a sharp, determined look.
"I, Biggs, swore an oath to protect the Hartmann family until my last breath. If the young master needs my help, I'll gladly work these old bones to the grave."
Luis face became shocked when he heard Biggs. He felt a connection of Biggs in the vortex.
'How did this happen? He didn't take a personal oath to follow me? Is it because I am the Hartmann family?' Many questions flashed in Luis's mind.
'I will test it later' Luis left this question behind his mind and focused his attention on Biggs.
He looked at Biggs and stood up.
"I'm going to take you to a whole different world, Biggs," Luis said, standing up. "Don't be shocked."
Biggs was confused when he heard this.
Biggs blinks in confusion, not understanding what Luis meant. But before he could ask, a portal appeared in front of him.
His eyes widened in shock, unable to tear his gaze away from the swirling portal.
