Everything Was Ready

As Luo Yan walked out of the Student Union, his phone rang.

But then the awards for the Grand Sports Meet were distributed.

Luo Yan received three awards at this Grand Sports Meet.

These are Credit Points, potions, and Primordial Stone Fragment!

Credit Points and potions were secondary; the fact that he was rewarded with Primordial Stone Fragment was truly unexpected for Luo Yan.

At the same time, it's certain that this reward has probably emptied the old principal's coffers.

After all, they even brought out the Primordial Stone Fragment.

Beside her, Bai let out a soft gasp.

It turns out she also received a prize from the Grand Sports Meet.

Bai, her face slightly flushed with excitement, said, "Classmate Luo, the Academy has rewarded me with a Divine Weapon grade weapon. They told me to choose one and submit it, and it will be issued within a week."

This must be a prize from the Academy competition.

As expected, the grand prize was awarded to Bai.

Luo Yan was also happy for her and suggested, "You don't need offensive equipment; you should choose some defensive or supportive gear."

Bai nodded, clenching her small fist. "I will choose carefully."

That evening, a graduation party was held in the auditorium, but Luo Yan did not attend.

He has been back in Guangling for a week now.

Considering the time, I should probably go back to the ' Red Gate ' and make a brief appearance.

So they changed their clothes and put on a mask.

We arrived at Ju De Restaurant at 9 PM.

Upon entering the quiet room, the fake Taoist Wen Zou immediately offered tea to welcome them.

"Master, you're finally back!"

"Your brothers have missed you so much!"

Wen Zou was incredibly enthusiastic; it was unclear whether this man even remembered that he was a spy Yu Qiushui had placed beside Chi Gui.

In short, he tried his best not to be so annoying.

"Sir, we have fully taken over ' Black Owl's' people and business."

As Luo Yan began to drink his tea, Wen Zou reported on the situation over the past month.

"I dispersed the ' Black Owl's' men and infiltrated them into our forces both in the city and on the surface."

"And a portion of the men were sent to the 'Coyote' camp."

"As for ' Black Owl's' business, it has been completely taken over."

"The issue that hasn't been addressed yet is Wan Cheng's family. I don't dare make a decision on this matter lightly; it's best if you handle it."

Luo Yan frowned slightly behind his mask and asked, "How many family members does he still have?"

"Not many. Wan Cheng's first wife passed away a long time ago. He currently has a second wife, but she and Wan Cheng have never had any children."

"Wan Cheng's only son also died at his birthday celebration that day."

"However, Wan Cheng's legal wife has a younger sister."

"His sister-in-law is under thirty and married, but she seems to have some ambiguous relationship with Wan Cheng in private."

"That woman manages a Young Scholar Mask for Wan Cheng."

"I've detained this whole family as well."

"Besides that, there are no other family members."

Luo Yan nodded slightly and said, "Take them to the Coyote Camp and give them work to do."

"Whether they survive or not is their own business."

"Alright," Wen Zou added, "Also, at the previous year's banquet, those organization leaders represented by ' Uncle Ya '..."

"During this period, they have all been trying to curry favor with us and have voluntarily paid the investment fees that were previously agreed upon."

"I also used this money, along with some of the savings from our ' Red Gate ' operation, to invest in the Medicinal Materials business."

"Everything was going smoothly until recently, a pharmaceutical company called ' Wanzhitang ' started going against us."

"We lower our prices, and he raises them."

"We ship out goods, and they devour everything we have."

"It seems they intend to monopolize this business."

Luo Yan was taken aback. "Wanzhitang?"

He had never heard of it.

"Yes," Wen Zou lowered his voice, "I inquired with people on Jiu Feng's side."

"This pharmaceutical company is related to the Luo Family of Qiming Heavy Industry Group."

"This might be a pawn the Luo Family is using against us."

Luo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly behind the mask.

He remembered many things.

The fact that Gao Lin, the former Legion Commander, came to assassinate me must be because the Luo Family and Wan Cheng reached some kind of deal.

Now the Luo Family is supporting another pharmaceutical company, which seems to be aimed at suppressing the "Red Gate" and extending their influence into the old city.

"The Luo Family..."

While Luo Yan was pondering, Wen Zou said, "Master, the Luo Family is not like organizations such as Black Owl."

"We must absolutely avoid using knives on them unless absolutely necessary."

"I guess ' Wanzhitang ' is so arrogant and acts so Zhang Yang."

"They're very likely trying to provoke us into acting rashly, then seize on our weaknesses. Once they have something on us, they can report us to the authorities."

"The Luo Family can then use this opportunity to pull strings and leverage official power to suppress us."

"They might even crush us!"

Luo Yan nodded slightly.

He knew, of course, that the Luo Family was different from the various gangs and organizations, Xiao Xiao, in the old city.

Luo Tianyi was someone who participated in the City Lord Election.

It's not that it wouldn't work to use the same methods as those used to suppress the old city gangs against the Luo Family.

But we must succeed in one fell swoop.

They were eradicated overnight using swift and decisive measures.

Otherwise.

The Luo Family would then use their connections to intervene with the help of official forces.

At that point, the ' Red Gate ' will not be facing the Luo Family, but the National Security Bureau.

"Knew."

"Do not act rashly for the time being."

"I'll make a decision after I've thought it through carefully."

Luo Yan planned to go and discuss it with Di Zheng.

Luo Tianyi once tried to use Wan Cheng's influence to stop Di Zheng's plan to use the whole people to Visualization Technique.

Di Zheng definitely wanted to deal with him as well.

I should talk to him and see how to eliminate the Luo Family once and for all.

??????????????? at last.

Wen Zou said cautiously, "Sir, Captain Yu Qiushui has been looking for you recently."

"They said they have something important to discuss with you."

"Since you're not here, she said to send her a message when you get back."

Yu Qiushui?

What is this woman trying to do?

Luo Yan nodded slightly. "Is there anything else?"

"That's all."

"Alright, go and invite Mister Chen Afei over."

After Wen Zou left.

Luo Yan found Yang Tao.

The little girl's condition was unclear, whether it was due to her cultivation or the fact that she was eating and sleeping well after arriving in the Undercity.

It's been a while since we last met.

Significant development.

Upon seeing Luo Yan, he exclaimed happily, "Teacher, you're back!"

Luo Yan nodded slightly. "Have you slacked off in your cultivation?"

Yang Tao shook her head. "I follow the plan you gave me every day and dare not relax even slightly."

"Very good."

"Come on, let me see how you're doing?"

Luo Yan gestured for Yang Tao to demonstrate her cultivation results.

A moment later.

Luo Yan nodded slightly. "It's already at the Primary Level Three. Although the <Yanxia Skill> progresses rapidly, especially with the support of medicinal potions..."

"But such rapid progress shows that you have worked very hard."

"I have already mastered three forms of the Hundred Flower Kill Fist, and I am also proficient in using several practical techniques in the realm of Mystic Art."

"Good."

"Next comes the real battle."
