Chapter 302 Law of the Jungle

“Yes, he is a good official, but he is also an idiot.”

Xiao Bing frowned, “How can you say this about your father?”

“He is not just an idiot. If he hadn’t died, I would’ve been brought up to become an idiot like him sooner or later.”

Xiao Bing guessed many things must’ve happened that he knew nothing of that caused Blood Wolf to hate this country and its government all this time.

“Ever since I was young, everyone thought my family was rich. But no one knew that my mom had always been tight-fisted. I’ve never owned any branded goods. I wore very ordinary clothes and studied in ordinary schools, which were far removed from the so-called aristocratic schools.”

“For a time after my tenth birthday, my dad was always worried and my mother was in a bad mood too. I was young and didn’t understand why. They refused to tell me, but I eavesdropped on conversations between them. My dad said he wanted to report someone, and my mom asked him to consider and think about the whole family. Then one day, my dad was called before the provincial disciplinary committee. He never returned. People said my father had taken bribes and flouted the law, but the fact was my family could not even afford a better car.”

“My mother told me the country would definitely prove my father’s innocence . My dad accused the provincial bureau chief of corruption in accepting bribes, keeping a mistress and diverting public funds. Finally, because he was too involved, they sent him to prison.”

“I didn’t go to school those days. My mother cried every day. When I was with her, she would talk about my dad being a great hero. The country wouldn’t wrong a good person. She had evidence to bring down all the corrupt government officers and send them to jail so that my dad would be released.”

“At that time, there would always be people coming to my house to talk to my mother. But their conversation was always very unpleasant. They were constantly quarreling. My mother drove those people out and cursed them as scums and lowlifes.”

“I found out later that they wanted to use my father to threaten my mother. As long as my mother handed over the evidence, my dad would be released. They said he was in too deep this time and that my family couldn’t win against them.”

“Later I asked my mom what we should do. I wanted my dad to come home. My mother said that the country would be fair to us. She was going to mail the evidence to Jingdu and hand it to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.”

“I was young at the time and didn’t know anything. I just listened to my mother telling me the country would help us, the country would be fair to us, the country would not wrong a good person, and would not let an evil person get off scot-free. My father would be fine. So I waited with great expectation. The following day, while I was out buying vinegar, my home caught fire. By the time the fire brigade came, the house was turned to cinder. It was my father’s half-a-lifetime’s hard work. Far more than that, my mother died in that fire.”

Xiao Bing frowned and said, “There cannot be such a coincidence in this world.”

“From young, my dad told me that boys should be strong-minded, because I had to help him protect my mother when I grew up, but I cried that day. It was the first time I cried. The first time I cried that I could remember, because I didn’t need to be strong anymore. My mother was gone, and she didn’t need my protection anymore. Later, the autopsy report came out stating that my mother committed suicide at home and ignited the fire herself. I knew that was not true, because my mother hadn’t given up trying to save my dad. She said the country would be fair to us.”

Xiao Bing sighed, “What happened to your father later?”

“My dad died too. The day after my mother died, someone came to tell me that my dad committed suicide for fear of being punished.”

Xiao Bing was silent. Behind a crime, every protagonist has an untold story. From the bottom of his heart, Xiao Bing hated Blood Wolf for betraying him and killing Peiya and Old Lei. Yet looking at things from Blood Wolf’s perspective, he also felt like hating this country and its corrupt officials.

Xiao Bing sighed, “There will always be some stinking fish in this world, but they are a minority nevertheless. There are always incorruptible officials. For example, your father. He was a good official. He was just unfortunate.”

“After my parents died, no relatives were willing to adopt me, because there would be no compensation due to people who committed suicide. They wanted to send me to the orphanage, but I went to the provincial hall alone. I wanted to help my dad, but I had no evidence. They drove me away and sent me off to an orphanage.”

The blood wolf’s eyes glinted with bitter hatred and crazed grievances, “I ran away from the orphanage again. I wanted to go to Jingdu, but I never thought anyone would want to kill me in secret. I was just a child after all. I thought all the people in the world were bad people. Whether the police or anyone else, there was no one left to trust. Fortunately, I learned kung fu from my father from young. People who wanted to kill me didn’t expect a small child like me to be able to fight. Luckily, I escaped them. I didn’t have money and I didn’t know where to go, so I ran into the forest. A place far away and very remote. I dared not come out after that.”

The blood wolf stuck two fingers out, “I was afraid… I was afraid that they would kill me like they killed my parents. I hid in the forest and survived by hunting animals. I stayed in the forest for six years, six years!”

Xiao Bing couldn’t imagine how a ten-year-old boy could live in the forest for six years. How did he survive?

“During my six years in the forest, I fought with the weather, fought with the earth and fought with fierce beasts. Do you know how I survived? I was just ten years old then. I came across a wolf the first night. Although it was only one, it nearly killed me. But I ended up killing it. From then on, I knew that if I wanted to live, I would have to be more cruel than the beast and more venomous than man.”

“At first, I was very scared, hiding everywhere every day. I was just a little boy of ten, yet lived like a fugitive. My appearance would’ve scared people because I lived like the savages did. I was afraid someone would come into the forest and discover me, or I would be eaten by the beasts. Later, I started hunting, killing hares, pheasants, catching birds, and hunting jackals and scorpion… I was fourteen when I was besieged by six jackals. In the end, all six jackals were killed by me. I managed to take two of the carcasses with me, and I didn’t dare show up for all of the next three days. On the fourth day, when my injuries were a little better, I ventured out and continued to hunt other animals.”

“When I was sixteen years, I escaped from a black bear which was close to adulthood. From that time on, I knew I could go out because I knew no one could kill me anymore. On the contrary, I would be their nightmare.”

Xiao Bing sighed and asked, “You started to take revenge when you came out?”

“Yes, but I didn’t take revenge immediately. I first adapted to the new environment outside, working and earning money. I went to the two martial arts halls to study martial arts. Later, the masters couldn’t teach me, and I went across the country. I went around and waited until I felt that I could do it. I went back and killed the whole family of the director who framed my father. I also learned about the others the director. There were sixteen officials, and I did not let go of them. I killed everyone in their families.”

Xiao Bing sighed deeply, “If revenge breeds revenge, will there ever be an end to it? They framed your father and killed your mother, and then you killed their family, but if they also had brothers and sisters or children who had survived, wouldn’t they want to kill you? Your parents had lived honestly and honorably their whole lives. They weren’t greedy, they didn’t accept bribes and they even believed in the country before dying. You did nothing in your own country but killing wantonly. Is this really what your parents wanted?”

Blood Wolf said coldly, “Brother Bing, you must have gone through a great deal. But how can you still be so naive? It was because my parents were too dull that they died. Even after death, no one avenged them. If these people had someone in their families who survived and wanted to take revenge, then they can just come and kill me. Having lived in the forest for so many years, I realized that they cannot blame others. Life is like a food chain in the forest. It is the survival of the fittest. Unfortunately, they were too naive. They pinned their hopes on the country. They were killed, and that only showed they were not strong enough.”

“My parents were weak people. The death of the weak is not worth our pity, but they were my parents, so I can only avenge them. From then on, the original me no longer existed. Blood Wolf was born.”

Blood Wolf looked at Xiao Bing and asked, “Master, do you know how disappointed you’ve made me? I thought you were a strong person. You should be able to understand my thoughts. There are so many powerful people gathered together and we should have been the strongest. With our strength, we could make this world tremble, including those damn people in our country!”

“But you… You were always thinking about our country. Those officials never cared about the lives of my parents. Those officials kicked out a person like you, who only thought about our country and people. And they even dealt with you so cruelly. What did they ever do? Why do they deserve our allegiance?”

“The reason why I betrayed you was that I couldn’t let you continue to waste the unparalleled strength and talent of our Dragon Gate.”

“There is no loyalty and kindness in this world.”

“Only the fittest survives!”
