Ang pagbabalik ni Bro Flattop sa dakilang kagubatan

Walang kaalaman si Ye Wan Wan tungkol sa Independent State. Naghanap siya ng impormasyon tungkol sa Independent State noong nasa China pa siya, ngunit wala siyang nahanap.

Around noon time, Ye Wanwan entered a city-resembling region.

Noong kinahapunan na, pumasok si Ye Wan Wan sa isang siyudad na kamukha ng China.

The buildings in this city in the Independent State were very similar to those in China. There was heavy traffic, a crisscrossing of streets and an endless flow of people, creating a bustling sight.

Kamukha ng mga gusali sa China ang mga gusali sa Independent State. May traffic dito at may iba't ibang daanan, maraming mga tao ang nandito, kaya nakakamangha talaga.

Rather simple and unadorned weapon shops could be found on any spot on the street, and she even saw a half-naked man holding an iron hammer, striking raw iron into shape.

Makikita ang simple at hindi napapansin na tindahan ng mga armas ang makikita sa daanan, nakakita pa siya ng lalaking walang pantaas ang may hawak itong martilyo, hinahampas siya upang magkaroon ito ng maayos na hugis.

Ye Wanwan walked and stopped, intense curiosity hanging from her face as though she discovered a brand new world.

Naglakad at napahinto si Ye Wan Wan, makikita ang pagtataka sa kanyang mukha nang madiskubre niya ang bagong mundo na ito.

Although the Independent State had a very similar style to China, there was something innately different between the two. The martial arts culture was very intense and vibrant, so the Independent State carried an old and historical martial arts air, and some signature buildings had a more western style, like the arena, the beast combat arena, etc.

Kahit na magkapareho ang style ng Independent State sa China, may malaking pagkakaiba pa rin ang dalawang ito. Makulay at masagana ang kultura ng martial arts sa Independent State, at dala rin ng siyudad na ito ang luma at historical na martial arts sa paligid, mas western rin ang mga gusali dito tulad ng arena, ang beast combat arena at iba pa.

Ye Wanwan could sense an extremely unique, foreign culture as she walked through the Independent State.

Nararamdaman ni Ye Wan Wan ang bukod tangi at kakaibang kultura nang maglakad siya sa Independent State.

"Is this Tangtang… and Nameless Nie and his group's hometown…? Ye Wanwan murmured as she surveyed her surroundings.

"Ito ba ang bayan nila… Tang Tang, Nameless Nie… at ng grupo niya…?" Bumulong si Ye Wan Wan nang suriin niya ang kanyang paligid.

It had to be said that this was quite a mystical country.

Masasabi na misteryoso ang bansang ito.

A moment later, Ye Wanwan stopped in front of a restaurant. There was a strong fragrance of food emanating from the restaurant. It was only then that the starving Ye Wanwan realized she hadn't eaten in two whole days.

Sa isang saglit, tumigil sa harap ng restaurant si Ye Wan Wan. May matalas na amoy ng pagkain ang maamoy sa restaurant. Doon lamang napagtanto ng nagugutom na Ye Wan Wan na dalawang araw na siyang hindi kumakain.

When she rode the ferry to the Independent State from a neighboring country, she barely ate anything out of seasickness. Later, the boat had an accident and Ye Wanwan jumped into the sea, losing everything—her ID and bank cards and such—in the sea, except for a gun.

Noong sumakay siya ng ferry mula sa karatig bansa ng Independent State, madalang siyang kumain dahil sa kanyang seasickness. Pagkatapos ay nagkaroon pa ng aksidente sa barko at tumalon si Ye Wan Wan sa dagat, kaya nawala niya ang lahat– ang kanyang ID at bank cards at marami pa–sa dagat, maliban sa kanyang baril.

She was penniless right now; even beggars were probably richer than her.

Wala na siyang pera ngayon; mas mayaman pa sa kanya ang mga palaboy.

She was in a foreign country, lost everything, and hadn't eaten for two days… Was there anything more frightening than this? Of course there was! This foreign country was… the Independent State!

Nasa ibang bansa siya ngayon at dalawang araw na siyang hindi kumakain… may mas nakakatakot pa ba dito? Syempre meron! Ang bansang ito ay… ang Independent State!

Soon, she saw some men and women wearing strange white clothes with a very solemn-looking emblem hanging on their chests and the giant characters "Martial Arts Union" printed on their backs.

Nakita niya ang mga lalaki at babae na may suot na kakaibang puting mga damit na may marikit na emblem sa kanilang mga dibdib at may nakasulat na "Martial Arts Union" sa likod ng damit nila.

"The official personnel of the Martial Arts Union has been showing up a bit more often in the last few days…"

"Ang official personnel ng Martial Arts Union ay madalas na nagpapakita nitong mga nakaraang araw…"

Some pedestrians stopped walking when they saw the members of the Martial Arts Union and they took out their Independent State permits.

Tumigil sa paglalakad ang ilang mga pedestrians nang makita nila ang Martial Arts Union at nilabas nila ang permits nila sa Independent State.

"Some time ago, some outsiders smuggled in and were discovered by the Martial Arts Union, so they're checking more diligently."

"Noon, may mga dayo na biglang pumasok at na-diskubre silan ng Martial Arys Union, kaya mas lalo silang nag-che-check ngayon."

"I don't think it's just about the outsiders. The Fearless Alliance has been rather busy recently and six nearby martial-art patrician families were given a Seven Kill Order by the Fearless Alliance within a month."

"Hindi lang ito dahil sa mga dayo na pumapasok. Naging abala ang Fearless Alliance nitong mga nakaraang araw at binigyan ng Seven Kill Order ang Fearless Alliance ang anim na nalalapit na martial-art patrician families sa loob lamang ng isang buwan."

Many pedestrians' expressions drastically shifted when the Seven Kill Order was mentioned.

Nag-iba ang mga ekspresyon ng mga pedestrians na tumatawid nang mabanggit ang Seven Kill Order.

Fearless Alliance was an extremely notorious union in the Independent State, but it had an extremely terrible reputation. Even the four great clans of the Independent State weren't willing to provoke it, let alone the normal martial-art patrician families.

Nakakatakot na samahan ang Fearless Alliance sa Independent State, ngunit malala ang reputasyon nila. Kahit ang apat na dakilang clans sa Independent State ay hindi handang kalabanin sila, gayundin ang mga normal na martial-art families.

The most prosperous period of the Fearless Alliance was probably seven years ago. Under the leadership of the president of the Fearless Alliance, Bro Flattop, the Fearless Alliance became a haven for fugitives, and countless malicious and evil people fought between themselves to join the Fearless Alliance. Moreover, many years ago, a group of extremely senior SS-level mercenaries who never followed the mercenary rules also joined the Fearless Alliance…

Ang pinaka masaganang pagkakataon sa Fearless Alliance ay noong nakaraang pitong taon. Sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni Bro Flattop ng Fearless Alliance, naging paraiso ng mga kriminal, masasama at mga sakim na tao ang samahan na ito at naglaban-laban ang mga ito upang makasama sa Fearless Alliance. At noong nakaraang mga taon, may grupo ng isang SS-level na mersenaryo na hindi sumusunod sa patakaran ay nakasama sa Fearless Alliance...

However, in recent years, the strength of the Fearless Alliance drastically dropped after the disappearance of the president of the Fearless Alliance, Bro Flattop, and was nothing like it was in the past. Even so, the words "Fearless Alliance" were still thunder to the listeners' ears, akin to a nightmare, in the Independent State…

Gayunpaman, sa mga nagdaang taon, humina ang noo'y malakas na Fearless Alliance simula noong nawala ang presidente ng Fearless Alliance na si Bro Flattop, at malaki ang pinagkaiba nito kumpara noon. Gayunpaman, parang kulog pa rin sa tenga ng mga tao kapag nababanggit ang Fearless Alliance, na parang bangungot ito sa Independent State...
