Chapter 1650 - 849: The Great Purge (Part 2)

Anyway, just throw out some bait, and those pests will raise themselves up, waiting for us to come in and wipe them out... By then, it's up to you."

"Brother Ji Jue says you handle things, I won't interfere." Xiao An nodded, "It's your call."

So Ling Shuo straightened his bent back instantly, as if gaining some confidence, yet he still kept his head down, maintaining humility.

After consulting Xiao An on some details again, he nodded and made a phone call.

Five minutes later, a mutilated corpse was hung in the bustling commercial area of Xi Island's city center.

As night fell, blood-red raindrops splattered down, setting off ripples of horrified screams on the ground.

Deriyar Laden

President of Xi Island's You'ai Financial Group, a renowned big businessman mainly involved in investment, insurance, and banking, a well-known figure on Xi Island.

At least that's how it appeared on the surface.

Secretly helping numerous organizations launder money, lend at usurious rates, and operate industries in place of big names who can't be seen in the light, those were the true foundation of his standing.

It's just a pity, that foundation couldn't save him.

Who told him not to revere Mr. Ji as the true Buddha, but instead, trying to play the old man game with his own smarts, flirting with outsiders?

Before, without Mr. Ji's instructions, Ling Shuo still had to reluctantly call him an older brother and good friend, but now Mr. Ji has spoken, so sorry, die!

Not just die, but die horribly, extremely horribly, a horror beyond words!

Within less than five minutes after Deriyar's death, his eldest son, who was in charge of banking and investments, turned into pieces flushed down the sewer, his second son, who was in charge of lending, drove drunkenly into the sea, even his secret illegitimate child fell from the sky, angry and hideous... From top to bottom, not one involved survived.

Before this, Ling Shuo had already openly taken over Gold Hair's business.

After eliminating a batch of dim-witted fools among those who voluntarily stayed, he promoted a group of new smart people to positions, completing a preliminary merger.

At Ling Shuo's instructions, the recently subdued subordinate organizations started wars everywhere.

Stop talking so much, just do it! Just doing it solves everything!

The first to be struck was Xiang State, with Minkler's authorization and convenience, those snakes, insects, rats, and ants that had managed to survive till now faced the most thorough extermination and disinfection.

Either kneel and pay homage to the big brother or be torn apart and flushed down the sewer.

The entire night, blood flowed like a river in secret, yet on the surface, it remained eerily calm, after enough killing, stealing, and eating, Ling Shuo officially sent posts to organizations large and small within Seven Cities after clearing away a large number of peers.

After reiterating the rules of Luo Island and Xiang State, and demonstrating the consequences of breaking the rules, a heartwarming little notice was appended:

[From today onward, how the others count is not my concern, but my count needs to be tripled. That's all I'm saying, I hope you all won't be shameless!]

Everyone who received it was dumbstruck and livid.

No, has the surname Ling gone mad?

Do you think after driving away a Gold Hair Boy, you can call winds and summon rains in Seven Cities? Do you really think the surname Ji can support you?

No, you have someone backing you, does that mean I don't have someone backing me too!

You want to eat alone?

Aren't you afraid you'll burst?!

The first to strike was Ling Shuo's already enraged sworn brother.

Some have interpreted Ling Shuo's actions as Ling Liu's intent, Gray Port disregarding rules means pressure mounts for everyone!

"Xiao Qi, what do you mean?!"

Ling Zan yelled angrily on the phone: "What the hell do you want to do?"

"Do I need to explain my actions to you?" Ling Shuo coldly retorted, "I provide you food, you just eat, isn't that enough, without even a thank you?"

"Thank you?" Ling Zan laughed in anger, "I just ask you one thing, are you really going to show no decency at all? How will you explain to godfather?"

To this, Ling Shuo still coldly said, "If godfather has something to say, let him come talk to me himself, who do you think you are?"

Click——

The call ending abruptly.

Ling Zan's face was livid, looking up to gaze at others from other families in the office, nearly crushing his phone in anger.

"There's some family matter, I'll no longer be hosting everyone."

Amidst many astonished or mocking looks, he got up and left:

"Excuse me."

Five minutes later, Ling Liu, far away in Gray Port, received a call from Ling Zan.

Long before this, he had already been receiving inquiries and investigations from various parties, and now he finally confirmed what his most promising godson was doing.

"The kid's grown up, his wings are hard."

On the phone, Ling Liu sighed and stated, "As the godfather, there's nothing I can do...

He's just ignorant, can you, as uncles and elders, just endure and forgive?"

No need to save me face.

What Ling Shuo does has nothing to do with me, whether he lives or dies, is up to you all.

Since a troublemaker kid wants to stand out and do something grand, let's see how many blows he can withstand!

.

"Oh my, isn't this Brother Zan? Your young brother's been doing great lately, haven't you earned a lot?"

In the bustling club meeting room, a sarcastic voice sounded, making Ling Zan, who just stepped in, look even more grim.

"Are you planning to start a fight?" Ling Zan glanced sideways, "No problem, before dealing with that little bastard who betrays for personal gain, killing you first is just as convenient."
