Chapter 189 Obey And Live, Oppose and Die
After dinner, Xiao Bing chatted with the Liu family. Seeing it was getting very late, Xiao Bing said goodbye to them, and Liu Kexin accompanied him to the door. Her mother repeatedly invited him over for a visit whenever there was time. Liu Kexin’s parents were clearly very satisfied with Xiao Bing.
Leaving the community, Xiao Bing did not drive but took a taxi back to the Ye Villa. He’d just got out of the taxi and was walking into the villa when his phone rang. He took it out and looked. It was a text from Liu Kexin, “My parents were very pleased with you. They said they will refuse the marriage with Yu Family for me. Bing, thank you.”
Xiao Bing smiled, he finally got to help Liu Kexin in a big way.
Entering the hall, Xiao Bing found Ye Xiaoxi standing beside the sofa looking at him. Seeing Xiao Bing, she smiled and said, “Bing, done being Liu Kexin’s pretend boyfriend?”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “I have successfully completed the mission.”
“Can you be with me tomorrow?” Ye Xiaoxi smiled saying, “I’ve put my work aside for tomorrow. I want a proper date with you!”
“Okay, I’ll be with my baby.”
Xiao Bing walked over and held Ye Xiaoxi in his arms. He kissed Ye Xiaoxi gently on the nose and said softly, “I’ve made it hard for my little baby.”
“Then you must make it up to me tomorrow. I want you to turn off the phone and computer tomorrow. All of your time will belong to me!”
“Copy that, my little baby!”
Xiao Bing and Ye Xiaoxi looked at each other and laughed.
At this time, in Lord Long’s house, Lord Long was sitting on the sofa and talking with Zhuge Jiangnan. A servant suddenly ran into the hall. He wiped his perspiration and said, “Master Long, Second Master… Second Master is here.”
Lord Long frowned and said, “Why are you so excited that my second brother is coming? Stand aside.”
The man responded with a grunt and hurriedly stood aside. Then Long Yan walked in furiously with four men in tow.
Lord Long was still sitting on the sofa, with his legs crossed. He asked, “My brother, what’s the matter? Who has angered you?”
Long Yan looked angrily at Lord Long and said, “Oldest brother, I heard you went to Jiang City.”
A scary ray of light flashed in Lord Long’s eyes, and he asked in a deep voice, “Have you placed spies around me?”
Lord Long never mentioned his trip to Jiang City to anyone. Even Zhuge Jiangnan found out about it only after Lord Long returned. They were just talking about Xiao Bing. Lord Long didn’t expect Long Yan to get the news so quickly. It was obvious that Long Yan had his men in his villa.
Long Yan said angrily, “Let’s not talk about this. Big Brother, don’t you know how my son died? Don’t you know how your own nephew died?”
Lord Long said, “My nephew was not killed by Xiao Bing.”
Long Yan shouted angrily, “Who can prove it? How do you know this? What’s more, even if it had nothing to do with him, he beat up my son when he was alive. I want him dead!”
Lord Long said, “Long Yan, you should calm down.”
“I can’t calm down!” Long Yan clenched his fist and yelled, “My son is dead! That was my son! He was the only child of the next generation and the heir of the Long Family. How can I calm down? Big Brother, you are the head of our family. Instead of taking revenge, you actually recruited him. I won’t allow this. Xiao Bing must die, he must!”
Lord Long looked at Long Yan and the four men behind him. The four men were his closest and most trusted aides. Although they were all different in looks, shapes and sizes, no one would’ve imagined that they were actually quadruplets. Their strengths had reached the peak of the clear-strength. Because they were blood brothers, they had a tacit understanding among each other. Their strength would be multiplied several times when they worked together, which made them almost on par with the masters who were at the middle stage of Transforming Strength.
The four were called Oldest Bonehead, Second Bonehead, Third Bonehead and Youngest Bonehead. In the north, “Bonehead” is used to describe abrupt, outspoken and stubborn people… It was the same as “dumbass”.
Lord Long said, “Long Yan, did you barge in here with your men just to criticize me?”
“I wouldn’t dare. You are my big brother!” Although Long Yan said so, he was gnashing his teeth when he spoke. “I just want you tell me. Which day do we sweep away Hei Province? Do you still intend to recruit Xiao Bing? Are you going to kill him?”
Lord Long calmly asked, “So what if I still want to recruit Xiao Bing?”
Long Yan clenched his fist and said angrily, “Big Brother, it’s true that the Long Family has become what it is today because of you. But when you left the family and went out, Father and I supported the whole Long Family. Otherwise, the Long Family would have been destroyed. Now although our father is gone and you are the patriarch, I should have a place. If you don’t kill Xiao Bing, not only do you not care about your nephew, but more so, you’re humiliating me!”
“In that case, I will go to Jiang City with my men and kill him myself.”
Lord Long suddenly stood up, sending a rush of fearsome power towards Long Yan like terrifying waves.
The four brothers behind Long Yan suddenly shouted at the same time and stepped forward, standing in front of Long Yan. They clapped their palms facing forwards, and the strength of the four combined into one to break Lord Long’s violent power.
Lord Long snorted and his left foot stepped forward slightly. The ground cracked and he clapped his two hands facing forward at the same time. A fearsome energy many times greater than before rushed towards them. The four brothers took a big hit and flew out like a kite with a broken string. Blood gushed out of them as they fell to the ground.
At this moment, Lord Long was like a big dragon looking down on all living things. In his eyes, all the creatures were so small and vulnerable that if he wanted to, he could destroy them all, even the whole earth.
Long Yan’s legs quaked and he almost fell to the ground. Lord Long looked at him majestically and said calmly, “Don’t worry, Xiao Bing didn’t yield to me. If you want to kill him, you will have your chance. Leave with your men. For your sake, I didn’t kill them.”
All Long Yan thought of was that Lord Long was really foreign to him. The stronger he was and the higher his status, the more foreign he became. He wanted to express his indignation, but the oppressive look in Lord Long’s eyes made him unable to speak. He took a deep breath and said, “I got it.”
Long Yan retreated step by step. Lord Long looked more and more scary, more and more incomprehensible to him, and he got more and more fearful. His older brother had already become an overlord.
Lord Long had changed. And how could he not change?
Long Yan retreated from the hall step by step and asked a few servants to help the four brothers out. Although he felt they were useless, he had to quickly send them to be treated. They were his closest and most trusted aides. If he lost them, his position in the Long Family would only fall further.
As Long Yan was leaving with is men, Lord Long slowly sat back on the sofa and put both hands on the armrests. He suddenly said, “Wait a minute.”
Long Yan stopped and looked into the hall.
Lord Long said with fearsome eyes, “Long Yan, don’t mention what you and Father have done in the past anymore. I will always remember what you and Father have done, and you will always be my younger brother. But the Long Family only needs one master. If the Long Family wants to dominate the underground world, orders must be strictly enforced. Everyone only needs to obey one person. That includes you and anyone who are under you. All of you must only obey me. ”
“I… I got it.”
Lord Long waved his hand and said, “Go!”
Zhuge Jiangnan waited till Long Yan and his men had gone before he said worriedly, “Mr. Long, you offended your brother completely and absolutely just like that?”
Lord Long said calmly, “We are family, I didn’t offend him. He’s my younger brother, and I’m his older brother.”
“I’m afraid it’s not that simple.” Zhuge Jiangnan sighed, “You may not understand, Mr. Long, but I have lived for many years and won’t have many years to live. I can see all situations clearly. Your younger brother once supported the Long Family with your father, but at the time, the Long Family could only be regarded as a small force in the city. It was not even a fraction of Jiang Zihou’s force today.”
“After you came back, the Long Family began to expand rapidly with the combination of your strength and of the brothers you brought with you. It first unified the underground world into one city, and then it unified the whole province, and finally the forces of the two provinces. Your father is gone and the head of the Long Family should be you. In terms of feeling, you are Long Yan’s older brother. In terms of reason, the Long Family has become what it is today because of your strength.”
“But if it was not because of you, the head of the Long Family should be Long Yan. The human heart is greedy. He knows very well he has no right to be the master and he could also have a bit of hostility. With your prestige, strength and subordinates, you can still convince him. But this time, I am afraid that you will let his dissatisfaction breed. From now on, he will only go farther and farther away from you.”
Lord Long asked, “Old Mr. Zhuge, what do you think I should do?”
“There are two options. One, take the initiative and be reconciled with Long Yan. In your position, just showing your kindness and concern towards your brother should be enough to make him feel grateful. Two, kill Xiao Bing. Other than these, there is no other option.”
“I won’t kill Xiao Bing for now. I am very interested in this person.”
Zhuge Jiangnan sighed and asked, “Then be reconciled…”
“That’s even worse… I want everyone to know that there is only one master in the Long Family. Those who obey me will live, those who oppose me will die!” Lord Long’s whole being exuded dominance.
