As the person in charge of the vige, Darren seemed to operate contrary to the values that he should have.


    Around the vige, Darren was notorious. He was a true tyrant. Everyone knew that Darren had be rich and powerful in several surrounding viges, but the money he earned was far from clean.


    However, since Darren had a rtive in the city government, the vigers who suffered had no one to turn to for help. So, Darren continued to oppress them.


    That day, while Darren was rolling around in bed with a pretty widow from the vige, he heard some frantic knocking on the door.


    As Darren put on his pants to answer the door, ready to scold whoever dared to disturb him, he was surprised to see the look of urgency on Salid Tomaz, the vige ruffian. Darren immediately realized that something was going on.


    "What''s with the rush? Is the sky falling? If you have something to say, spit it out!"


    Darren knew that Salid never did anything that would not benefit him. So, if Salid was there to report something, it was absolutely urgent.


    So, Darren took out a few bills from his pocket and pped them on Salid''s chest. After that, he asked authoritatively.


    "It''s really bad... Solomon got beaten up! You better go take a look, or that ruthless guy might beat Solomon to death!"


    That day, Sd had originally nned on going to the small shop in the vige to buy two packs of cigarettes, but as soon as he arrived at the entrance, he saw Solomon and a few others being beaten to the ground by Wilbur.


    With a sh of insight, Sd ran to report this to Darren, hoping to gain some benefits.


    "What? My son got beaten?"


    Darren wondered if he misheard things and asked again in disbelief. After all, Solomon was a bully in the vige just like he was. When could anyone touch Solomon?


    "It''s true, Solomon really did get beaten up! If I dared to lie to you, you''d juste after meter. I saw Solomon and his guys beaten to the ground by some guy who came out of nowhere at the entrance of the vige''s shop. If you don''t believe me, you can go see for yourself. I heard the guy say he was Lindon''s ssmate who came to see him..."


    In order to prove he was not lying, Salid tried his best to exin.


    Lindon?


    Darren immediately frowned when he heard that name.


    Back during the Andika incident, if he had not helped the people from the city government suppress Lindon''s family back then, Lindon might not have been forced tomit suicide under the old tree at the entrance of the vige.


    Even though that tree had already been cut down, the vigers were still haunted by the tragic scene of Lindonmitting suicide.


    There were even rumors that Lindon had turned into a vengeful ghost who cursed everyone in the vige, condemning those who had helped Darren suppress his family.


    As the head of the vige, he had informants like Salid, so Darren naturally knew of the rumors.


    Feeling guilty for his actions, Darren had spent a lot of money to bring in religious statues to protect his home. Obviously, someone who had done so many bad things would be afraid of retribution, fearing that ghosts would knock on his door in the middle of the night.


    "I got it! Go gather people at the vige entrance and tell them I''ll pay them handsomely. Everyone who turns up will get a share. I''ll be thereter."


    After a moment of contemtion, Darren decided to take advantage of the greed


    of vigers for petty gains and nned to gather the strength of the vige to deal with their unwee guest.
