Chapter 1233 - 1232: Underlying Currents Surging, The Great Battle Approaches!
The sudden turn of events made Hong Feng’s face change dramatically, filled with terror!
Although the tip of the blade hadn’t pierced his throat yet, he felt like he couldn’t breathe, as if he were about to suffocate!
Upon seeing this, Liu Shun was also taken aback and hurriedly said, "Esteemed Mr. Carter, please calm down. Mr. Hong Feng is an important partner for us in the Northeast!"
"I don’t care what your plans are. Since your young master is cooperating with us, we will help you, but our task is solely to kill. We’re not concerned with anything else!" Carter said coldly!
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Shun nodded quickly!
Then, Carter shot a cold glare at Hong Feng and said, "I hate it when people harbor anger towards me, this is the first and last time!"
"Gulp!"
Hong Feng swallowed his saliva in terror and quickly nodded, "Yes... the last time!"
"Swish!"
Only then did Carter withdraw the samurai sword, swiftly sheathing it at his waist with extreme precision, not even deliberately looking!
At this moment, James spoke, "Let’s talk about the current situation!"
"The current situation is simple. We have been developing secretly over the years, elevating our group strength. In the entire Northeast, no one is our match anymore. The trifling Li Group can no longer influence us. However, we face a huge dilemma!" Liu Shun said.
"What dilemma?" James asked!
"That’s the Ximen Family! They are the true overlords here. With their obstruction, we cannot fully control the financial economy here. Our business cannot develop, so my young master hopes that you three can help us topple the mountain that is the Ximen Family!" Liu Shun said.
"Simple! Just kill them!" Carter said coldly!
"No way!"
Liu Shun immediately rejected, "The position of the Ximen Family in Huaxia is significant. They can’t just be killed outright, and their security is extremely tight. The three of you might find it difficult to break in quietly!"
"Then what solution do you have?" James asked.
"Make them kill each other!" Liu Shun smiled coldly!
"How do you plan to make them kill each other?" James asked curiously.
"This idea was conceived by Mr. Hong Feng himself. How about letting Mr. Hong Feng explain it to everyone?" Liu Shun looked at Hong Feng with a slight smile!
Subsequently, James’s gaze fell upon Hong Feng!
How could Hong Feng hesitate? He promptly said, "Now, the entire Northeast knows about the grudge between Lin Fan and Ximen Ding. If we use a borrowed knife to kill someone, and let Lin Fan kill Ximen Ding, then the two families will absolutely engage in a big fight. No matter the outcome, it would be very beneficial for us. We can seize the opportunity during their battle, when they are too busy to care about us, to capture the financial sector here, acquire the groups here, and expand our group!"
"Is little Ximen Ding even worth us taking action ourselves?" James said.
"Naturally Ximen Ding isn’t needed, but to make the fight between the two families more intense, Lin Fan... must also die!" Hong Feng’s eyes flashed with a chilling light, speaking with a sinister tone!
"Who is this Lin Fan?" James asked.
"He is the son-in-law of the Feng Family. His skills are extraordinary and terrifying! I am no match for him at all. He came to the Northeast this time just to break off the engagement with the Ximen Family, so we must find an opportunity to take him out before Lin Fan leaves the Northeast!" Hong Feng spoke coldly!
"Heh, I didn’t expect there to be anyone in Huaxia who could be described as ’terrifying,’ I really want to meet him!" James grinned viciously.
"Lin Fan is the Tyrant!"
At that moment, Alice, who had been silent, suddenly spoke!
"What? The Tyrant?"
Alice’s words were shocking, leaving Hong Feng and Liu Shun both stunned!
As Hong Feng sat among the local underground forces, he naturally heard of the Dark Realm, especially the Tyrant, one of the three emperors ruling the Dark Realm, whom he was very well acquainted with!
Hong Feng even idolized the Tyrant, but he hadn’t expected that his enemy Lin Fan was actually the Tyrant!
For a moment, Hong Feng’s entire body was covered in goosebumps and a chill ran down his spine. Thinking back to his provocations towards Lin Fan at the bar made him all the more scared!
If Lin Fan had wanted to kill him at the time, he would already be a corpse, and even if he died like that, the Qitian Association wouldn’t be able to do anything about Lin Fan!
James frowned, looking at Alice, "How do you know about this?"
"During the war between the Emperor and the Tyrant, I heard others address him this way!" Alice explained.
"I really didn’t expect it! You want us to kill Lin Fan, who is actually the Tyrant. Initially, I thought it would take some effort to find him, but this is perfect, let’s eliminate them both!" James laughed arrogantly!
"Then I trouble Mr. James! However... if Lin Fan really is the Tyrant, then we can’t act hastily. To ensure the plan is foolproof, we must eliminate Ximen Ding first. This matter has exceeded my expectations, and I need to report to the Young Master before making a decision!" Liu Shun said solemnly.
"As long as the Tyrant doesn’t leave the Northeast, everything will be fine!" James said calmly.
"Rest assured, we will definitely implicate the Tyrant, ensuring he cannot leave the Northeast!" Liu Shun guaranteed!
"By the way, remind your Young Master not to forget our deal!" James said with emphasis!
"Don’t worry, our Young Master will absolutely not forget!" Liu Shun nodded quickly!
"Alright then. Send us off to rest first!" James gestured!
Liu Shun promptly notified the driver, and under the escort of a caravan, they left the airport immediately!
Upon arriving at a hotel under the Qitian Association, Liu Shun and Hong Feng personally escorted James and the other two upstairs. After settling them in, the two finally returned to the car!
Hong Feng sat with a serious expression, drinking his alcohol, looking immensely troubled!
Liu Shun glanced at Hong Feng, smiling, "Mr. Hong, you’re not still worried about that sword earlier, are you? Rest assured, these three, although very skilled, are merely pawns of the Young Master!"
"Who would have thought, Lin Fan is the Tyrant!" Hong Feng said with lingering fear.
"No problem! This time, we swear to let the Tyrant perish in the Northeast!" Liu Shun said with an icy tone, full of confidence!
Hong Feng nodded, taking a big gulp of his drink, his complexion finally easing considerably!
Subsequently, Hong Feng asked, "Mr. Liu, what is the Young Master’s next plan?"
"Currently, among the four major noble families in the Northeast, the Zhou Family is the weakest. We’ll take down the Zhou Family first. Then you find a way to lure out Ximen Ding and eliminate him. As long as the Ximen Family and Lin Fan go to war, we will step in and take over the Li Group. By then, our group will become the leading group in the entire Northeast, unrivaled!"
Liu Shun said with a hint of a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth!
