Chapter 2644 Feint in the East, Strike in the West!

Second update, begging for subscriptions and votes~~~

...

"Sob... sob sob sob..."

Poor Old Barry, facing such a death threat from Qin Fang, besides making sounds of distress, he had no power to resist at all, and the fear in his eyes grew more intense, even showing a hint of pleading.

Obviously, Old Barry didn't want to die in such a wrongful way...

He even felt that he and Qin Fang had no grudge between them, and to be taken down like this was really quite depressing.

Of course, to betray Freemasonry and turn to Qin Fang, he clearly didn't have the guts... If he did that and wasn't exposed, naturally, it would be best, but once exposed, he'd be completely finished.

But, carrying such a secret on his back, like a fishbone stuck in his throat, Old Barry likely couldn't eat or sleep well, fearing the day of exposure, the entire Neville Family would accompany him in death.

However...

Qin Fang wouldn't care about his reaction; the progress bar of the Soul Control Technique continued to read...

Compared to those terrifying grandmaster-level and great grandmaster-level martial artists, Old Barry, just an ordinary person, even at his peak physical state, still couldn't withstand the restraint of Qin Fang's Soul Control Technique, and this was the fearsome aspect of the Soul Control Technique.

Buzz~~~

With this buzz, the progress bar of the Soul Control Technique was completed.

Glancing at Old Barry, he was still alive...

Qin Fang immediately lifted the restraint on Old Barry, pulling out the silver needle that sealed his throat.

"Master..."

Old Barry instantly "came to life," after a moment of confusion in his eyes, he respectfully addressed Qin Fang under the manipulation of the Soul Control Technique. Old Barry had already become Qin Fang's soul slave, a soul slave who would never betray or defy.

Even if his betrayal of Freemasonry was exposed, he would still unquestionably stand by Qin Fang's side as a soul slave...

"Ron, your father has fallen into my hands, next we can slowly play..."

With Old Barry now controlled, Qin Fang's face showed a bright smile as he whispered to himself.

After making such a big move, besides dealing with Freemasonry, even more so, it was to solve Ron and the business expansion of Daqin Pharmaceutical in America... Now, everything is truly ready, just waiting for the right opportunity.

"Master, Freemasonry's power in America is very vast, now that Richie is dead, Freemasonry's Temple Envoy will definitely make a move... It is said that every Temple Envoy's strength is at the Supreme Realm!"

Although Old Barry was just an ordinary person, as New York's steward, he was considered semi-core...

"I know this..."

Qin Fang nodded.

No need for Old Barry's reminder, he already knew these things from Richie...

If the Temple Executor has great grandmaster level strength, considered the backbone of Freemasonry's ruling force, then the Temple Envoy is truly the pinnacle of power within Freemasonry, and also the true pillar of support for Freemasonry.

The Supreme Master of Freemasonry is both a power and an honor...

But maintaining the Supreme Master's power and Freemasonry's stability is the work of the twelve Temple Envoys... Each of them has reached the Supreme Realm, and combined, they are undoubtedly the most elite force in the world.

Even the Assassin's Alliance, Black Fist Alliance, Mercenary Alliance, and other massive underground organizations have their core being Supreme Realm experts, but each force's top combat power is at most five or six people.

Compared to Freemasonry, they fall noticeably short...

Not to mention Freemasonry's thousands of years of heritage, the accumulation is unimaginably fearsome... Just how powerful their true strength is, even Qin Fang doesn't dare to imagine.

Even with the formidable strength of the "Four Emperors," they would avoid serious conflicts with Freemasonry, showing just how wary they are of this mysterious and powerful Freemasonry.

"Perhaps above the twelve Temple Envoys, there are even more terrifying existences alive..."

Qin Fang couldn't help but mutter this prediction.

"You continue to do your thing, I will support you in ascending to the position of Ace of Hearts..."

Qin Fang did not linger long with Old Barry, giving only a simple directive before leaving quietly, just as silently as he had come, without disturbing anyone.

Naturally, the relationship between him and Old Barry remained unknown to others.

"The next target... Ace of Diamonds Steve Delong!"

Qin Fang muttered this lightly and swiftly left New York, heading from the east coast directly to the west coast, where his target, the Ace of Diamonds, was. This person had some past grievances with him involving a conflict within the Green Gang.

Steve Delong is a name Americans are generally familiar with, and many people globally have heard of him as well.

Although he is neither a sports star nor a film star, he is a very famous director, one of the most renowned and best directors in Hollywood currently... though he might only make one movie every few years, it is always a guaranteed blockbuster.

Yet who would know that this famous director, Mr. Steve, is actually a core member of Freemasonry and one of the Four Emissaries, the Ace of Diamonds, at that. Even though he ranks last among the Four Emissaries, he is not someone to be underestimated.

At the very least, someone like Old Barry, a New York Steward, has to respectfully address Steve as "Your Excellency Ace of Diamonds."

Of course, like the Ace of Hearts Richie, he rarely reveals his Freemasonry membership to outsiders and seldom mentions his power and status as the Ace of Diamonds, and the public only knows him as a renowned director.

At the same time, he is also considered one of the affluent elite within the circle!

Naturally, his residence is equally famous... Beverly Hills!

"It seems... I have a mansion here too!"

From east coast to west coast, Qin Fang's pace was truly astounding... According to the information he received from Old Barry, Freemasonry had already issued an alert across America for Qin Fang.

Of course, the so-called alert was more of a search and pursuit, yet they hadn't even clarified Qin Fang's true identity, except for a face he intentionally exposed for them to chase after worldwide.

Meanwhile, the real Qin Fang was already strolling to the foot of Beverly Hills.

Not long ago, he had a wild gambling match in Las Vegas with that famous NBA star Maler... only to win over the California Gambling King Davidson, leaving him dismayed. Besides six hundred thousand in cash, Maler also lost a villa to Qin Fang.

"Should I go claim the property first?"

Qin Fang couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

However, before that, he went to the mansion estate of Ace of Diamonds Steve Delong to gather information.

"Wow~~~ Freemasonry really is on alert, and everyone's on edge these days!"

But, as he got close to that estate, Qin Fang was startled to find it so fortified, with over three hundred armed personnel stationed in that mansion covering over five thousand square feet, along with twelve sanctuary executors all gathered there.

Steve Delong's public persona is rather unique, so even though his mansion housed such a large armed force, the authorities in America turned a blind eye, pretending not to see or hear anything.

Out on the perimeter, some paparazzi were observing, thinking that Director Steve was just prepping for his new film...

Yet only Qin Fang understood that Steve Delong was terrified by the death of Ace of Hearts Richie. Given his proximity to Richie, it was no surprise he was on such high alert.

Moreover, Freemasonry's investigation into Richie's death vaguely pointed towards Qin Fang.

Although Qin Fang had tried to minimize trouble and eliminate evidence, his flashy presence in Las Vegas inevitably linked him to Richie in the minds of the observant... And considering his and Richie's mysterious disappearances occurred closely in time, various speculations were bound to arise.

The top brass of Freemasonry perhaps only had suspicions about Qin Fang.

But Steve Delong seemed to have considered much more.

The Green Gang's internal conflict not only involved their faction disputes but also instigations and manipulations by Steve Delong. If Qin Fang pursued the cause of the Green Gang's unrest, Steve would undeniably be entangled.

Qin Fang dared to kill Ace of Hearts Richie, and with the defenses at Rose Manor, he even sent it skyrocketing, who knew if he would strike ruthlessly against Steve as well...

There's also an added advantage for Steve living in Beverly Hills, famously known as the world's most expensive upscale community, where almost all residents are highly influential Hollywood stars or renowned NBA players, sprinkled with some European aristocrats or affluent Asians.

If Qin Fang were to recreate the destruction of Rose Manor in Beverly Hills, the impact would be terrifying... almost comparable to the "9/11" event orchestrated by Laden Beard those many years ago.

If Qin Fang managed to escape from America, he would nonetheless become a global target...

Not just the Americans who wouldn't let him off the hook, but various factions in the underground world would hunt him too... Even the Dragon Country Martial World's Righteous Alliance Five Great Sects, Evil Sect, Demon Sect, and many others would label him a prime target for elimination.

Qin Fang doesn't know much about other things, but he does know some of those living in Beverly Hills... like the grandson of a Supreme Elder from the Kunlun Sect, who seems to reside there, as well as disciples from Tianwai Tower, Tianya Haige, and practically has Outer Disciples mingling around.
