For some reason!
A stirring war song suddenly rang in Black Fox and the others' ears!
For a moment.
The north wind howled across a barren wilderness!
It was as if thousands of troops and horses were charging into battle with tragic resolve!
As if a general stood atop a mountain of bones!
His crimson cape fluttered in the wind, while a blood-red setting sun flickered eerily behind him!
The man suddenly turned around.
An overwhelming heroic presence burst forth!
Though they did not know his name, the aura of a tyrant shot straight into the heavens!
A tyrant.
A hero of chaotic times—fierce, ruthless, decisive in slaughter, with an aura like a rainbow!
Staring blankly at that figure.
Black Fox and the others trembled all over!
Their bodies were even beginning to bend uncontrollably, as though they were about to kneel and worship him!
Suddenly, the war song stopped!
Black Fox and the others violently shook their heads.
Before them was still the familiar office!
But Jack the strongman, unconscious on the floor, reminded everyone that a demon god sat leisurely nearby!
The young man in a white shirt had his side turned toward the three of them.
He took a slow drag from his cigarette, exhaled gradually, and merely looked at the scenery outside the window.
Such an utterly ordinary action.
Made the hairs on the bodies of those present stand on end!
At this point, who would dare underestimate this young man in white?
For no reason at all, they felt that even his slightest movement contained an imposing aura that could not be defied!
He seemed to be a tyrant of the present age!
Never mind that he had taken down more than a hundred members of the Black Fox Gang—even if he slaughtered everyone in the Misa Club, he probably would not so much as furrow his brow!
"Tell me, who's in the right here?"
In the pin-drop-silent room, the young man in white slowly spoke.
Black Fox and the others immediately tensed up!
The young man blew out another ring of smoke and said, "A kind-hearted, harmless young man like me, and someone actually put up a five-million bounty on my head on the black market?"
"Th-this..."
Black Fox's throat instantly went dry. He wanted to speak, but fear left him unable to utter a word!
The young man slowly turned his head, revealing a wicked smile. "Black Fox Boss, tell me. Is there any justice left in this world?"
Fuck me!
Justice?
You crippled my entire Misa Club by yourself, then smashed my bulletproof door with one punch!
You scared the shit out of me, and you still want to talk to me about justice?
Seriously, which blind fool put a bounty on his head?
They've gotten me killed!
"Sir... Big Brother, could there be some misunderstanding between us?"
"I only..."
Black Fox was about to make excuses when he suddenly recalled the other man's unfathomable surveillance methods and wiped away his cold sweat.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "Fine, Big Brother. I really do business on the black market, but we have no grievances against you..."
"Shut up."
Liu Di flicked off some ash and said softly, "You don't get to speak here. I'm asking Black Fox!"
What?!
Black Fox, who had just been about to speak, suddenly choked up. He stammered incoherently as cold sweat poured down his face!
Afeng, standing nearby, was also dumbfounded. He stuttered, "B-Boss, the one sitting in front of you is our Black Fox Boss!"
"Heh."
Liu Di smiled faintly. "The underground boss of Sea City, Black Fox, truly is no ordinary person. I greatly admire your schemes and cunning! But I'll only give you ten seconds to come over here and admit your mistake to me!"
The room instantly fell silent!
Time seemed to freeze!
Though the "Black Fox" sitting behind the desk had clearly heard Liu Di, he did not move for a long time!
"Ah..."
A soft sigh drifted over.
It was a woman's sigh, gentle as an orchid's breath, tinged with helplessness, unwillingness, and submission!
The beautiful black-haired woman in a qipao, who had quietly stood behind "Black Fox" from beginning to end, slowly stepped forward!
She gracefully approached Liu Di, clenched her teeth, and bowed ninety degrees!
"Black Fox admits her mistake to you, sir!"
This...
Afeng, who had fought for six years in the Black Fox Gang and had long become one of its veterans, stood there like a wooden chicken!
Wasn't this woman named Ruoyi, Black Fox Boss's personal maid?
How had she become Black Fox?!
How was that possible?!
Afeng's mind instantly short-circuited!
His entire worldview shattered!
"Knowing your mistake makes you a good child!"
Liu Di smiled playfully. "Your methods truly are brilliant! Who would have imagined that the true underground boss of Sea City was actually Black Fox's maid?"
The qipao-clad woman's expression turned incomparably ugly!
She had painstakingly concealed her identity as Black Fox for six whole years!
For six years, she had manipulated everything from behind the scenes!
And that brawny man was merely a puppet she used to deceive others, evade pursuit by her enemies, and hide her true identity!
Yet all those meticulous arrangements.
Had been effortlessly exposed by this stranger before her!
And without any warning whatsoever!
Liu Di chuckled. "I now possess all the information on your entire Black Fox Gang—every casino, every bar, every business deal!"
"Those underlings of yours are nothing but chickens and dogs before me. Whether now or in the future, you will never have any chance of defeating me!"
"Most importantly, Miss Black Fox, I also know your true identity—the one that would scare people to death if revealed!"
The qipao-clad woman's expression instantly froze!
She stared at the young man before her in terror, no longer able to remain calm!
Who exactly was this man?!
Why did he know everything?!
My identity...
It would be one thing if her identity as Black Fox were exposed!
Could this man know something else as well?
Did he perhaps know about her father, her family?
Deep terror flooded the qipao-clad woman's heart!
Her father absolutely could not find out about the things she had done!
"Sir! Please spare Ruoyi's life!"
The qipao-clad woman did not dare hesitate. She bowed again and did not rise!
Her body trembled as she said, "Sir, we can immediately revoke the kill order against you, and we will bring your enemy before you as quickly as possible for you to deal with as you please!"
"Also, from now on, the Black Fox Gang will follow your lead. Ruoyi is even willing to become your servant for life!"
"I only beg you, sir, not to expose me!"
Liu Di chuckled again.
This was exactly what he wanted!
Liu Di's plan from the very beginning had never been as simple as removing the kill order against himself!
First, he had gathered all of Black Fox's leverage and intimidated them over the phone, overwhelming them through sheer presence!
Then Liu Di had come in person.
By taking on the entire Black Fox Gang alone, he had intimidated them once more through strength!
What Liu Di wanted was to completely subdue Sea City's underground kingpin!
And use her for himself!
To eliminate all future troubles in one stroke!
Liu Di lit another cigarette and said softly, "Do you know who was behind the five-million bounty on Liu Di's head?"
Liu Di?
Only then did Ruoyi, Black Fox's true boss, suddenly realize why this man looked somewhat familiar!
She nodded slightly. "Ruoyi remembers. His name was Zhao Ze. He should be a vice president at Yingzhi Group!"
Zhao Ze?
Shouldn't it have been Ouyang Fengyu?
Liu Di could not help being taken aback.
Magic Child immediately dug up Zhao Ze's information. He was indeed a vice president of Yingzhi, and one of the people who had arranged Death Sha for Yan Qingwen!
Vice President Zhao!
Heh.
Interesting!
Liu Di instantly understood. It seemed Ouyang Fengyu was not stupid either—he knew how to use others as his weapon!
"Did you also receive a job to kidnap Yan Qingwen of Yingzhi Group?" Liu Di asked again.
A flash of panic passed through Ruoyi's eyes. She nodded. "Yes. It was also commissioned by Zhao Ze."
"Mr. Liu Di, do you need me to bring Zhao Ze here immediately?"
Ruoyi asked softly.
"No. Spread word throughout the underworld that I'm buying Zhao Ze's teeth. One million per tooth. I'll collect one every day!"
Liu Di narrowed his eyes slightly.
Smoke curled from the half-burned cigarette in his hand, yet every word from his mouth was terrifying beyond compare!
Even Nan Ruoyi, the hidden boss of Sea City's underworld, was stunned.
One million for one tooth.
One collected each day!
Wouldn't countless people want to knock out Zhao Ze's teeth?
The most terrifying part was.
They would knock one out every day!
A full mouth of teeth could be knocked out more than twenty times, right?
Wouldn't Zhao Ze have to live each day shrouded in the terror of being attacked?
How despairing would that be?!
But what Liu Di was thinking about at that moment was not Zhao Ze's miserable fate.
Instead, he was thinking of the expression Ouyang Fengyu would wear when he learned that his hired killer had failed.
And that his own subordinate had been targeted with a bounty, losing one tooth every day.
When Nan Ruoyi looked at Liu Di again.
She saw an indescribable brutality within Liu Di's faint smile!
Terrifying, merciless... even demonic enough to chill one's very soul!
She absolutely could not anger him again!
Otherwise, she would certainly die without a burial place!
Nan Ruoyi's body trembled uncontrollably as she said softly, "Mr. Liu Di, would you like to meet the leaders of several of our gang's branches?"
Liu Di shook his head. "First, the Black Fox Gang's boss will not change. It can continue to be you. Or that puppet!"
"As for me, I only want to quietly remain in the background. If anything comes up in the future, I'll contact you again."
"Second, the name Liu Di must never appear in the gang again!"
Then Liu Di stood and slowly walked toward the door. With his back to them, he said, "When we meet in the future, you may call me by my alias—Emperor Er!"
