Chapter 935: Forceful Subjugation
The nail flashed and struck the armed personnel behind Gai Wafu. These people, pierced by the nail and in pain, forgot to shoot and began to check what it was. Luo Zheng, seeing his objective achieved, left it to Ghost Hand to handle. With Ghost Hand's skills, it wasn't a problem to entangle them for a minute. Luo Zheng only needed to deal with Gai Wafu.
Luo Zheng pounced like a cannonball at the armed personnel behind Gai Wafu, quickly loaded a nail, and shot it towards Gai Wafu's chest, not aiming to kill but to distract. By this time, Gai Wafu had sensed something was wrong, was about to retaliate with his gun, but suddenly felt pain in his chest. He was shocked, looked down, and found something had pierced his clothes and entered his body.
While Gai Wafu was looking down in surprise, Luo Zheng had already rushed up and locked Gai Wafu's neck in a grip. Gai Wafu, fierce and aggressive, grabbed Luo Zheng's arm, attempting to throw him over his shoulder. Almost simultaneously, the nail in Luo Zheng's grip brutally pierced through Gai Wafu's back clothes, stabbing into Gai Wafu's Life Gate Acupoint.
The Life Gate Acupoint is located between the second and third lumbar vertebrae. If this position is severely damaged, the whole body becomes paralyzed. Gai Wafu felt as if his entire strength vanished like a deflated balloon, his waist weakened, and his limbs stiffened, utterly horrified.
"Don't move if you don't want to die, call off your men," Luo Zheng coldly commanded.
"Courting death," Gai Wafu shouted ferociously, trying to counterattack, but his body was utterly powerless. His eyes grew fiercer, as if ready to fight to the death.
At this moment, Sarazi saw that Ghost Hand had entangled the men behind Gai Wafu, taking down three in the blink of an eye. The remaining were no match for Ghost Hand. Sarazi, having a better understanding of Luo Zheng and his team's strength, felt secretly happy and relieved about his choice. Seeing Gai Wafu's other armed men raise their guns and about to act, he quickly called out, "If you don't want Gai Wafu to die, put down your guns immediately."
Most of these men were from Gai Wafu's village, and the core members had grown up together, naturally not wishing Gai Wafu to die. They hurriedly ordered those around not to shoot. By then, Luo Zheng had already pulled out the nail piercing Gai Wafu's chest, placing it against the artery on Gai Wafu's neck, and said coldly, "If you die, what happens to them? If your team disbands, who will protect your families?"
Gai Wafu had just spoken in an international language, so Luo Zheng was not worried about being misunderstood. Using family as leverage, Luo Zheng stayed on high alert, and was ready to kill Gai Wafu and break out if something was amiss.
At this moment, Ghost Hand kicked a gun over, which Sarazi caught, aiming at Gai Wafu. He cocked the gun and said coldly, "Brother, don't blame me for being ruthless. The situation is so chaotic, it's mutually beneficial for us to join forces rather than wait to be swallowed up by others. How about it?"
"Bastard, I trusted you, and you turn out to be a ferocious wolf," Gai Wafu said coldly. "Do you think we can survive in this world with just the two of us?" He glanced around, everyone hesitant to act due to concern, shocked that his carefully picked elite dozen had all been taken down by one person. He coldly demanded, "Who are they? They've truly opened my eyes."
"We surely can't rely on just the two of us. Many warlords around are backed by other countries, especially Sam Country and Arctic Bear Country, controlling several factions. But you know my ways; I don't fight battles without certainty. I won't hide it from you, they are from Huaxia Country, representing the nation," Sarazi calmly advised.
"Oh?" Gai Wafu was surprised. Thinking for a moment, he said, "No wonder you're so bold. You've got a good connection there. Huaxia Country doesn't yet have any supported forces here, a good choice indeed. However, how much support is Huaxia Country willing to offer us?"
Being a local strongman, Gai Wafu was not foolish. He quickly sensed an opportunity. Living or dying was an easy choice. As Luo Zheng had just said, once he died, his team would disperse. Given his past deeds, he wasn't sure how many bore grudges, endangering his family's safety.
The entire conversation was in a universal language, and Luo Zheng understood it clearly, coldly sneering, "Not a problem, even if you need to replace all your outdated scrap metal."
"You talk big. I have over a thousand men. Can I take your word for it?" Gai Wafu retorted coldly.
"You have no choice, either believe or die," Luo Zheng responded coldly.
"You?" Gai Wafu was furious, his face flushed red, looking towards Sarazi.
"You have one minute to choose. If you don't choose in a minute, you'll spend the rest of your life paralyzed in a chair. Seeing that you're a reasonable man, here's a kind reminder. Believe or not, it's up to you," Luo Zheng spoke coldly, with an unwavering tone.
At this moment, Luo Zheng suddenly noticed a red light on Gai Wafu, a sniper's infrared laser, and was delighted, knowing Mountain Eagle had arrived. He continued, "Don't try to resist; you're already targeted by my men, make your choice."
"Brother, accept it, let's join forces and make a mark together. Life is only once. Rather than die here, why not take a spectacular risk," Sarazi seized the moment to persuade.
"Aren't you afraid I'll agree and then go back on my word?" Gai Wafu asked coldly.
"I'm not. I know your character, you're a man of your word, just a bit lacking in initiative. But if you swear by Allah, I guarantee you won't die," Sarazi continued persuading.
Hearing this, Luo Zheng thought more highly of Sarazi. Those who believe in Allah are deeply devout. Swearing by Allah means they won't go back on their word, or they'd be scorned. Sarazi was preventing future troubles. Luo Zheng didn't object, instead cooperated and said, "You should feel your strength disappearing and your back paralyzed. You have half a minute left; once time's up, I can't spare you even if I wanted to."
Gai Wafu glared angrily at Sarazi, pushed to this point without a better option, and had no choice but to agree. In front of his subordinates, he swore by Allah's name, pledging to follow Sarazi's orders. Luo Zheng knew the power of such an oath, breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled out the nail.
Seeing Gai Wafu's body soften, Sarazi quickly stepped forward, holding him up, gratefully saying, "Brother, I'm sorry. From now on, let's make a mark in the world together. If you have any anger, shoot me." Saying this, he handed the gun over.
