Motherfucker, you dumbass, are you looking for death?”

“I think Greg is overdue for a lesson!”

The person Greg had called out immediately became furious and surrounded him with a fierce and ominous presence.

These were the guys who hung out with the Hall family’s boss, so the villagers usually didn’t dare to provoke them, especially since the Jensen family weren’t around today.

Thus, although the villagers were outraged to see Greg being bullied, they were angry but didn’t dare to speak up.

“Come on, dumbass, kneel down for daddy!”

“Kneel down and lick daddy’s shoes clean, and I won’t beat you today!”

The young men, holding farming tools, looked at Greg with arrogance, as if they had him completely under their control.

Greg put the object in his hand on a stone and slowly stood up.

The youths thought he was about to kneel before them, but the next second, Greg charged at them.

His fist, big as a sandbag, smashed directly into one of their faces.

Bang!

The man’s nose immediately collapsed.

Before the others could react, Greg kicked another one hard in the groin.

“Aow…”

The man’s scream was cut short as he fell to the ground, curling up like a cooked shrimp.

The remaining few changed their expressions drastically and quickly took a few steps back.

They knew Greg was skilled, but they had not expected him to actually fight back.

Remembering how Greg had once chased and beaten dozens of hoodlums, they immediately broke out into cold sweats.

One of them, grinding his teeth, said, -Let’s gang up on him, I don’t believe we can’t handle one idiot!”

“Right, all together, beat him to death!”

Just then, Big Boss Liu walked over and, seeing the scene, his face immediately darkened.

He asked with a cold face, “What’s going on here?”

“Boss, you came just in time, this idiot broke Old Wu’s nose.”

“Edison’s eggs probably can’t be saved either.”

“Boss, we…”

Slap!

Big Boss Liu straight away slapped one of them and angrily said, “Aiden Clark, you dare to cause trouble on my turf? Tired of living, are you?”

“No, it was the dumbass who hit us first…”

“Shut your fucking face! Greg may be simple, but he never starts trouble.”

Big Boss Liu furiously said, “Tell me, was it you guys who provoked him?”

“No… not at all…”

The guys were dumbfounded, a bit uncertain about what Big Boss Liu meant.

In the past, no matter who was at fault, Big Boss Liu would have led his men right into the fray; what was different today?

What they didn’t know was that Big Boss Liu was freaking out.

Aiden Clark, looking away for just a moment, these little bastards actually dared to lay hands on Mr. Jensen.

Weren’t they pushing me towards a dead end?

“Hehe, my auntie said, bad people should have their legs broken.”

Greg bared his big mouth in an innocuous smile.

Seeing this smile, those few couldn’t help but shudder, but they quickly showed a disdainful sneer.

They had been with Big Boss Liu for years; would he really side with an idiot and break their legs?

How could that be possible?

But the next second, Big Boss Liu, as if pardoned from his sins, pointed at those guys and ordered:

“Come, break these people’s legs and throw them out. If they ever appear in Duo Phoenix Town again, beat them every time you see them!”

Before his words had even finished, several bodyguards stepped forward and, grabbing a shovel from the side, smacked it down.

“Ah…”

“Boss, I was wrong, please spare me, I won’t do it again.”

The punks cried for their parents and begged for mercy as they were beaten, then the bodyguards drove them out of Peach Blossom Village.

The wasteland fell silent at once.

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, unable to fathom that the scene they had just witnessed was real.

Could the notorious Aiden Clark of Peach Blossom Village actually be championing justice?

Am I dreaming?

“Good on you, Boss Aiden!”

“Exactly, Boss Aiden did the right thing!”

No one knew who spoke first, but a burst of cheers suddenly echoed across the barren land.

Aiden Clark’s face flushed red instantly, as if he were drunk, and he felt somewhat elated.

He found that each piece of praise from those around him tickled his heart, bringing comfort from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

Despite years of running rampant in Peach Blossom Village and across Duo Phoenix Town, he had never felt as thrilled as he did now.

Following Mr. Jensen was indeed wonderful; not only could he make money, but he also received others’ accolades.

Could there be anything more satisfying?

Aiden Clark even felt a bit of regret; had he known making money could be this easy, he wouldn’t have committed so many deplorable acts in the past.

He hadn’t earned much money, and he had endured people talking behind his back every day.

He made up his mind to stick with Greg Jensen from now on, willing to do whatever he asked without a second word.

At that moment, someone asked, “Boss Aiden, when do we start working?”

“Wait a moment…”

Aiden Clark looked at the crowd and called out, “Have Kamden and Seth Jensen arrived yet?”

Seeing that no one responded, his brows furrowed.

Didn’t yesterday’s threat work?

That shouldn’t be the case!

Just as he was somewhat puzzled, a timid voice from afar said, “Coming… we’re here.”

Aiden Clark turned around and saw two figures approaching in the distance; it was Kamden and Seth Jensen.

The two of them hung their heads like they had done something shameful and remained silent.

Aiden Clark didn’t concern himself with their demeanor and pointed at them, saying, “Watch closely, from now on they’ll be leading you in the work.

Whatever they tell you to do, you do it. Twenty bucks a day for each of you, and ten more for good performance!”

Kamden and Seth Jensen lifted their heads in shock, thinking that Aiden Clark had summoned them for some nefarious reason.

To their surprise, Aiden Clark had indeed put them in charge.

Why such a good deal for them and not his own Hall Family?

Kamden furrowed his brow and whispered, “Be smart about it later, if something feels off, run home.”

“Shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“That’s not certain.”

Kamden sighed and said, “Let’s put the matter of wages aside for a moment, as

long as they don’t give us any trouble.”

Greg Jensen, sitting nearby, overheard their conversation and couldn’t help but laugh so hard his stomach hurt.

These two were quite cautious, making them good leader material.

Greg Jensen offered a smile and gave Aiden Clark a knowing glance, signaling for him to start the day’s work.

Aiden Clark discreetly nodded, then with a grand gesture, shouted, “Let’s get to

work, burn the wasteland!”

Kamden and Seth Jensen, seeing this, reluctantly took charge of teams, encircling the entire barren land.

Burning the wasteland, this ancient method of tilling the soil, was nearly obsolete, only used when reclaiming wasteland.

What they had to do was dig firebreaks around the wasteland to prevent sparks from spreading and starting wildfires.

“It’s time for the burn…”

With a loud shout, flames roared to life in the center of the wasteland and quickly spread outward.

The bluish wild grass turned yellow from the heat and ignited within seconds.

The dark-red flames soared high into the sky, and sweltering heatwaves blew in all directions with the wind.

Greg Jensen, carving foundations into a stone, lifted his head to watch the fierce blaze, his eyes filled with hope.

This fire marked the beginning of his career, but it would definitely not be the end.

One day, he planned to make all those who had looked down on him drop their jaws in amazement.

And for those who had given him warmth in his time of cold, he wanted to ensure they would all live good lives.

As for those who had hurt him, he wished for them to vanish into the winds of

the world, just like this inferno..
