But he didn’t regret it. He knew that Wang Qianye got a terminal illness who had only half a year left at most. Therefore, he would accompany him in the last few months of his life until Wang Qianye passed away peacefully. At that time, the Great God thought that he could pay off all the favors Wang Qianye gave him. From then on, he would focus only on practicing martial arts and never cared about mundane events.
“I want to ask you to save the lives of Yuqiu and Zhihao no matter what will happen in the end.”
The sudden request of Wang Qianye scared the Great God who then cried out involuntarily. “Have you decided yet?”
“Yes!”
The tall and straight body of Wang Qianye suddenly collapsed. It seemed as if he had aged for a few decades in an instant. From his eyes, people could tell that he must have experienced many ups and downs in his life. “Yuqiu is the most capable candidate. However, she is far from Zhihao when it comes to playing tricks. If she is in charge of the Axe Gang, others will take the full advantage of her. Zhihao is as sophisticated and capable as her. The most important thing is that he has the nature of wolves. But regrettably, he is narrow-minded and not a man of broad outlook. He cares too much about the gains and losses of little things. And the reason why I will not let him take over the Axe Gang is that he is too unscrupulous, though I admire this characteristic of him the most. But he, he is too vicious. If he is in power, he will definitely kill both Junyang and Yuqiu. Compared to them, Junyang is less intelligent and sophisticated, but he is not radical either, which makes him the best candidate for defense. People in the Axe Gang now don’t have to take more radical measures. They just need to maintain the normal operation of the gang.”
All kinds of feelings welled up in the Great God’s heart. Wang Qianye, a formidable man of the underworld, was getting old, and his heart softened. Otherwise, the best candidate in his mind must be Wang Zhihao.
Wang Zhihao murdered Wang Zhijie (Wang Yuqiu’s father) through the hands of others. He thought that he completed a perfect crime. But in fact, Wang Qianye had known it already.
It was just that he cared about both of his sons. One of his sons had murdered the other. But he couldn’t kill the son who was alive to revenge for his dead son.
Therefore, no matter how angry Wang Qianye felt in his heart, he could only swallow the bad pill silently.
After all, he himself was the example in previous. He killed his brother to take control of the Axe Gang in the first place. Wang Zhihao only did the thing that he had done before.
For the reasons above, he erased the evidence in person so that others could never find the truth. Beyond that, he forced Wang Yuqiu not to make any guesses.
It was just because of his connivance and patience, which had further intensified Wang Zhihao’s arrogant manner that made him extremely overbearing over the years.
Unfortunately, only the third party benefited from the tussle between them. Neither Wang Zhihao nor Wang Yuqiu had ever expected that Hong Junyang, the last person whom they thought could be in power, was actually the illegitimate son of Wang Qianye. Moreover, Wang Qianye had already chosen Hong Junyang as the inherited heir of him.
The Great God was not quite interested in fighting for power and money. But after he knew what was in Wang Qianye’s mind, he still felt sad for Wang Yuqiu.
After all, he watched Wang Yuqiu grow up and really liked this clever and filial girl.
Even Wang Qianye didn’t know that the Great God had already accepted Wang Yuqiu as his disciple when she was five.
The Great God thought. “That’s OK, anyway. Staying far away from the disputes of the world, Yuqiu can concentrate on the cultivation and martial arts.”:
The idea of the Great God was relatively simple. For him, repaying Wang Qianye’s kindness was the most important thing. Therefore, he would not agree in front of Wang Qianye but act the opposite. That was to say, he wouldn’t help Wang Yuqiu get the power only because she was his disciple.
However, what put him in an awkward situation was that he couldn’t do what Wang Qianye requested. The Great God knew that Wang Yuqiu got involved in the struggle for power only to find the truth and avenge her father. She wasn’t greedy for power.
This determined that there was going to a battle between Wang Yuqiu and Wang Zhihao, and only one of them could survive.
“There’s no guarantee. I can only try my best.”
That was to say, the Great God didn’t give him a definite promise.
Wang Qianye didn’t take it seriously because he knew too well that the Great God was a person who would never make an absolute commitment. In that case, Wang Qianye thought he was only to be modest, So he said leisurely. “I believe you can do that.”
“It is late at night. Pay attention to take care of your body. I will go back to practice first.”
The Great God let out a long heavy sigh. His figure then disappeared like a ghost.
Wang Qianye stood at the bridgehead and stared blankly at the bright moon in the sky. A maximum of half a year, the fierce struggle between them would come to an end. But no one knew whether he was alive or not on that day.
…
The office of the Golden Age’s business club.
“Pow!”
Hong Junyang slammed vehemently on the table. His face was ghastly pale at this time. He stared at the trembling little buddy who was here to report the situation and bellowed, “What did you say? Did some people trouble all our places?”
“Yes, Brother Yang. All the people who came had veiled their faces. They came and left like the wind. They smashed things immediately after they entered our places. When they ruined everything, they left quickly. The time our people arrived, they have long gone.”
The little buddy was trembling all over and tried his best to clearly report the things while using as few words as possible.
Hong Junyang’s chest rose and fell fiercely, and he asked coldly, “How much is our loss?”
The little buddy peeped at him and answered in a halting way, “According to preliminary statistics, they have so far smashed 36 bars, 13 KTVs, 17 business clubs, and 9 restaurants…”
“Cut the nonsense. Get to the point.”
Hong Junyang’s face was uglier, and he roared furiously.
“Ye-yes. According to preliminary statistics, we probably lost about 370,000,000 yuan.”
The little brother flinched and reported.
“How much? 370,000,000 yuan? How could it be that much?”
Hong Junyang’s mind went blank, and he almost fainted. Boiling with anger, he questioned.
“They had clear targets. They went directly to our most popular and best-decorated places. They not only smashed the things in our places but also wounded hundreds of our people. The medical expense of these brothers is a large sum of money already. Besides, we cannot open these destroyed places for business because all of them need to be refurbished. So the renovation fee, plus the loss during the closed-down period, 370,000,000 yuan is still a conservatively estimated number.”
The little buddy secretly cast a glance at him and groaned inwardly. “Fu*k. I did not do all of this. Why should I get burned by the flames of his fury?”
Hong Junyang took a couple of deep breaths and forced himself to hold his inner anger. He asked in a low voice, “Did they smash my places only?”
“Wang… They also smashed Deputy-head Wang’s places. But it was not a great loss. The destroyed places of him were not the most profitable ones. Several places owned by the Miss have also been smashed, but she suffered the least.”
The head of the little buddy drooped. He was waiting to bear Hong Junyang’s thundering rage.
However, he didn’t expect that Hong Junyang suddenly calmed down, and there was the light of thoughts flashing in his eyes. As the buddy was trembling with fear, a calm voice came. “Go to bring me all the surveillance videos in the places that were smashed.”
“Yes!” Upon hearing this order, the buddy felt relieved as if he had granted an amnesty. Hurriedly, he turned around and ran to collect all the videos.
…
In a villa, holding two scantily clad women in his arms, Wang Zhihao sat on the sofa and proudly crossed his legs. He praised the several extremely deferential Hall Chiefs who seated opposite him. “Well done! I don’t believe that stupid Hong Junyang will not bite at a bait.”
“Brother Hao is so brilliant. Now, Hong Junyang must think people in the Seventh Lord’s Mansion did all of this. Therefore, he will surely go to fight against the Seventh Lord’s Mansion, and we can certainly benefit from the war between them.”
A shaven-headed Hall Chief flattered with an obsequious air.
“Yeah, Brother Hao made such a cunning plan. You mapped out a great stranger and determined the final outcome of the war in the distance. He-he.”
Another Hall Chief used a not well-learned idiom to make a compliment, showing a mouth full of gold teeth.
“Fu*k your grandma, Gold Teeth. It is a great strategy, not a great stranger. Fu*k, if you are uneducated, then don’t show off the idioms like others.”
Grumpily, Wang Zhihao reproached him angrily. But without getting angry, Gold Teeth smirked while scratching his head, which made all the people here burst out laughter.
“Brother Hao, you said that the gang head suddenly pulled the Miss out to participate in the competition. What does he mean by doing that?”
A tall Hall Chief with a mass of muscle asked with great concern.
“Cr*p. He just wanted to put a little more pressure on me. What can that little b*tch do?”
Disdainfully, Wang Zhihao curled his lips. “The fu*king old man is truly tough. Long ago, the doctor said that he was going to die. But he is still alive and kicking. He is really a man with surprising will power.”
“Brother Hao, who on earth killed Yang Kaishan? Now many other people said it was you. Could it be that the old gang head is displeased with you after hearing the rumor? If others have something on you, we will be put into a bad position.”
The shaven-headed Hall Chief said with anxiety.
“Fu*k. Hong Junyang is really heartless and cruel. Yang Kaishan followed him whole-heartedly, but he still bore to kill him. In addition to this, he spread rumors outside saying that it is me who killed Yang Kaishan. Fu*k his ancestors. I am so depressed because I take the blame for him.”
Wang Zhihao was okay if the matter was not mentioned. But if anyone mentioned it, he would become furious and could not help cursing in a rage with a cold look.
In surprise, several Hall Chiefs started at each other. They always thought that Wang Zhihao did it, so they doubted his words.
A Hall Chief who had an afro asked suspiciously, “Brother Hao, is it really not done by you? Everyone here is on our side, so you don’t need to try to cover up the secret.”
“Fu*k you. Even if Yang Kaishan didn’t get along well with me, he was a member of the Axe Gang. How could I kill him? He must have been killed by Hong Junyang, who is a snake in the grass. D*mned, he killed his subordinate and blamed it on me. By doing this, he forced the gang head to come back and abandon me. Humph, this son of a b*tch is despicable enough. But he had never thought that the gang head would never abandon me.”
Wang Zhihao abused loudly. He looked so indignant that several Hall Chiefs here half believed and half doubted him. They did not know whether what he said was true or not.
Seeing that he was not in a good mood, the Gold Teeth quickly changed the topic. “Brother Hao, you just said that the gang head would never abandon you. Can you tell us the reason?”
Speaking of this, Wang Zhihao suddenly became lively. He said mysteriously, “The Axe Gang is the ancestral property of the Wang family. And there is a rule made by their ancestors saying that the ancestral property can never be in the hands of anyone who doesn’t belong to the Wang family. Originally, it was not my turn to be the gang head. But it was a pity that Wang Zhijie was a person who was doomed to die young such that his enemy hacked him to death. Therefore, no matter how reluctant the old man is, he will have no other choices but to hand the Axe Gang to me. Follow me and do your jobs well. I will never treat you shabbily.”
“But since there is a rule made by the ancestors, then why are you still fighting with Hong Junyang? Anyway, he can never be in power.”
This gave the few Hall Chiefs a pleasant surprise. In their hearts, they felt lucky because they chose the right person. In the future, when Wang Zhihao was in power, they would undoubtedly be his most trustworthy subordinates.
“You don’t understand this. The new head of the Axe Gang must withstand the test of the previous gang head to prove his ability. In the past, all the gang heads in previous took control of the gang by killing a lot of people. Hong Junyang, not surnamed Wang, doesn’t belong to the Wang family. Thus, it is impossible for him to inherit the ancestral property of the Wang family. To put it bluntly, he is a person who is used to strengthen me. I must completely defeat him so as to prove my ability. Only in that way can I rightfully take the control of the gang.”
Wang Zhihao said in a high and vigorous spirit.
The tall Hall Chief frowned. “Brother Hao, but the Miss is also surnamed Wang. The gang head pushed her to take part in the competition. Is it because he wants her to be the next gang head?”
“It is possible, but there is no need to worry. The rule made by ancestors of the Wang family says that the head of the Axe Gang must be surnamed Wang. Unless she can find a man who is willing to marry into the Wang family can she has the qualification to compete with me.”
Wang Zhihao secretly felt so grateful because he got rid of Wang Zhijie through the hands of others for the first time when he learned the rule of the Wang family. Otherwise, he could never be qualified to fight for the position of the gang head.
