Wang Jian's friends were notorious villains in the Aria Capital City of the Everlasting Mystic Empire. They were all born with a silver spoon in their mouths, as their fathers were influential members of various factions and associations in the city.

One of his friends was named Xie Zhiwei, the son of a high-ranking member of The Dao of Alchemy Society. He was a cunning individual with a talent for alchemy and often used his skills to further his own personal gain.

Another friend of Wang Jian was named Luo Ying, the son of a powerful member of the Sacred Crane Sect. He was a charismatic and charming individual who often used his social skills to manipulate those around him.

There was also Liu Yu, the son of a prominent member of The Celestial Talisman's Guild. He was a skilled talisman, and his abilities in manipulating the elements were unmatched.

Another member of their group was named Tang Xiaohui, the son of a wealthy Silk Road Trader. He was a greedy and selfish individual who often used his wealth to get what he wanted.

Finally, there was Li Wei, the son of a high-ranking member of The Lotus Assassins. He was a cold and calculating individual who was known for his ruthless methods and complete lack of mercy.

Despite their different personalities and backgrounds, the group of friends had one thing in common: their thirst for power and wealth knew no bounds.

As soon as Wang Jian stepped into the room, Xie Zhiwei's voice cut through the air like a sharp knife. "So, our prince finally returns. The Six Outlaws Gang of Aria City can finally reunite."

"Our influence will once again be unmatched in the city!" Luo Ying added with a grin on his face.

Wang Jian noticed the smirks and excited expressions on their faces and couldn't help but feel a tinge of suspicion. "Something happened while I was gone?" he asked.

A look of righteous indignation appeared on Liu Yu's face as he responded. "Ever since you were exiled, the officials in Aria City turned really strict. Even with our influence, they would just throw us out of their buildings. We couldn't mess around with anyone at all, let alone enjoy ourselves to the fullest."

Tang Xiaohui spoke up next, a hint of desperation in his voice. "Yeah, we were basically nobody without you. We didn't realize how much we relied on your power and influence until it was gone."

"Brother Jian, I require your assistance in a matter of utmost importance," Li Wei said, a hint of malice lurking in his voice.

Wang Jian raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What is it that you require?"

"It's a matter of a particular beauty from the Crimson Guards," Li Wei said, his eyes flashing with a mixture of anger and desire. "This bitch had the audacity to refuse my invitation and even went so far as to humiliate me in front of the entire restaurant."

Wang Jian couldn't help but chuckle at Li Wei's arrogance. "And what do you propose we do about it?"

Li Wei's expression turned sinister. "I want you to help me teach her a lesson she will never forget. Show her that no one, not even a member of the Crimson Guards, can disrespect me and get away with it."

The group of friends exchanged smug glances as Luo Ying spoke up, his voice dripping with arrogance, "We are the notorious Six Outlaws of Aria City, feared and respected by all. No one has the right to humiliate us."

The others nodded in agreement, a sense of entitlement and superiority radiating from them.

Xie Zhiwei chimed in, "Our fathers hold power in their respective factions, and we are their rightful heirs. We are born to rule, and no one can stand in our way."

Liu Yu added, "Those who dare to defy us will face the consequences."

Wang Jian fell into a deep thought while wondering what he should do. But for the sake of it, he decided to go along with it. He was curious about this woman.

Wang Jian's interest was piqued as he listened to his friends' conversation. "What is her name?" he asked, sounding intrigued.

His friends smiled deviously, exchanging a knowing look. Finally, Li Wei spoke up. "Her name is Major Guan Yin. She holds a high position in the Crimson Guards, as a major in charge of a battalion."

Wang Jian nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "So, where does she live?" he inquired.

"She resides in the quarters of the Crimson Guards," Li Wei responded confidently.

Wang Jian's expression became somber. "That's troublesome," he said, "even I can't cause a ruckus in that area. The Crimson Guards will be well within their rights to safeguard their territory's peace. It would be unwise to underestimate them."

"Don't worry, I thought of that. I had my underlings keep an eye on her and have her entire daily schedule with me," Li Wei said. He pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over to Wang Jian, "Here it is, Brother Jian. Her entire schedule for the week."

Wang Jian took the paper and examined it carefully. He nodded approvingly and said, "Impressive. You really did your homework."

"Of course, he did. He's been obsessing over this woman for weeks now," Xie Zhiwei interjected with a smirk.

Li Wei shot him a dirty look before turning his attention back to Wang Jian, "I will do anything to teach her a lesson. No one dares to humiliate me like that and gets away with it."

Luo Ying chimed in, "We should make an example out of her."

Tang Xiaohui added with a chuckle, "And of course, we will make sure that we have some fun along the way."

Wang Jian sat with his friends, analyzing Captain Guan Yin's daily schedule. They had a map of the city in front of them, and Li Wei had provided them with the information he had gathered about the captain's routine.

"Let's see," Wang Jian said, pointing at the map. "She patrols the western district every Monday, the eastern district every Wednesday, and the southern district every Thursday. But on Tuesdays, she goes to the Red Light district."

"Interesting," Xie Zhiwei said. "That means we have a chance to catch her off guard."

"Exactly," Wang Jian agreed. "But we have to be careful. The Red Light district is heavily guarded, and any misstep could get us into trouble."

Luo Ying snorted. "We've dealt with tougher situations than this. We just need to be smart about it."

"I agree," Liu Yu said. "But what's our plan? Are we going to ambush her on the street?"

Wang Jian shook his head. "No, that's too risky. We need to find a way to lure her into a trap."

Tang Xiaohui spoke up. "What if we stage a fight in the Red-Light district? We can make it look like we're just a group of rowdy patrons, and then we can lure her in by pretending to need her help."

Li Wei grinned. "I like it. It's sneaky and underhanded, just like us."

Xie Zhiwei chimed in, "But we can't risk being recognized. We're all notorious in the city, and it's not like we can just put on a disguise."

Wang Jian nodded in agreement. "We'll have to hire some thugs to pull off this act. Make sure they're experienced enough to not botch the job."

Luo Ying smirked. "I know a guy who's perfect for the job. He owes me a favor, and he's been itching for some action."

Liu Yu raised a brow. "Do you think we can trust him? We don't want him to rat us out to the guards."

Li Wei scoffed. "Please, I know the guy. He's a coward. He'll do whatever we want as long as we pay him enough."

Tang Xiaohui added, "We'll have to make sure to keep our distance and watch from afar. We can't let Captain Guan Yin suspect anything."

Wang Jian nodded, "Agreed. We'll have to be careful with our actions and make sure everything goes smoothly."
