Super Soldier

Overnight, the leaders of several underground cities conquered by the Long Family were all beheaded. Their heads were cut off and they died miserably.

At the same time, there was a rumor spread in the underground world that, in order to avoid the disobedience of these newly conquered forces, the Long Family killed these leaders and replaced them with their own people. In fact, after these people were murdered, the Long Family did send people out to take over the leadership of these few cities and began to suppress those who did not obey, and punish them as a warning to others.

Hence, people in the whole underground world of Hei Province were in a state of panic, including rogues who had been controlled by the Long Family in several cities. They all thought that the Long Family were behind all this. The leaders they followed were beheaded, and they were surprised, angry and frightened that they would be killed like their leaders, but they felt helpless.

Leaders who were not controlled by the Long Family in the underground world were all frightened. Seeing that all the leaders who had submitted themselves to the rule of the Long Family were killed, they dared not indulge in wishful thinking anymore. If any of them once thought that they could surrender if all else failed, all they were thinking of now was to fight desperately.

The result of their surrender was death. In that case, why not fight to death?

But if they fought, they would certainly be conquered by the Long Family. After Master Hou issued an order, these leaders all gathered in Jiang City and submitted to Master Hou completely. What’s more, Master Hou swallowed up their power without any effort, but they were still the leaders of their cities outwardly.

Under the coveted eyes of powerful enemies, Master Hou completely unified most areas of the Hei Province. He could command these leaders by rallying supporters before. But now he could command these leaders justifiably, because they had officially announced their integration into Master Hou’s management.

After the meeting, Master Hou and Mu Tingchuan entered the study. At this time, there were no outsiders. Mu Tingchuan couldn’t help but raise his thumb and said, “Master Hou, the strategy you adopted is fantastic. They didn’t know that we killed those leaders. I heard that the gangsters in those cities began to make trouble, but they have to submit themselves to our rule and their power has been formally incorporated by us. This way, although our forces only occupy most of Hei Province, our people are all desperate and they’re forming a force like an iron plate, with stronger cohesion. On the surface, although our territory is a little smaller, the chance of winning is a little better than before.”

Master Hou said with a solemn face, “The Long Family is better than us in many aspects, including the masters, the territory and the number of people. At present, we have only a 30% chance of winning at most, which is very slim. Tingchuan, you are smarter than Zhuge Jiangnan but assisted the wrong person.”

Mu Tingchuan stood up and looked sullen, different from the usual gentle look. “Master Hou, you value me and you have trained me. For this, I am very grateful. But what you’ve just said is very insulting!”

Master Hou laughed and said, “Okay, all right, then I won’t say it, but don’t worry. Whether for myself or for the brothers under my command, and even if there’s great disparity in strength, we have no choice but to win. Xiao Bing has left Jiang City. I don’t know what’s going on over there.”

When Xiao Bing left, he was not alone, and he took Dumbass and Zhan Hongyan. Three people left Jiang City quietly and without a trace.

In Shangyang City, Zhuge Jiangnan left Lord Long’s villa and moved into his own Zhuge mansion, which was guarded by masters everywhere. Many of them had guns. Even a fly would’ve found it very difficult to get in and out.

In this mansion, besides Zhuge Jiangnan, the ones who had the highest statuses were his two disciples: one was Jiang Wu and the other was Poisonous Fox. Both of them remained by Zhuge Jiangnan’s side all the year round and they lived in Zhuge Mansion.

The masters following Jiang Wu and Poisonous Fox were a little inferior. On the one hand, Lord Long did not attach any importance to Jiang Wu and Poisonous Fox at all. On the other hand, although they were talented, they always followed Zhuge Jiangnan, so others would not notice them and they didn’t attract any attention.

Two days later, the door of Zhuge Mansion finally opened. Poisonous Fox came out it and got into a car.

As a wise man, Poisonous Fox had his own weakness, which was women.

No one was perfect. Poisonous Fox was a person with strong self-discipline and didn’t drink alcohol. He looked perfect on the surface, but everyone had his own dark side. Everyone needed to vent, and so did Poisonous Fox who vented through women.

However, he was also very clever in this respect. He had a woman named Zhizi in Shangyang City, who was in her twenties. She had luxury cars, beautiful houses, famous jewelry and everything money could buy. The most important thing was that her family was absolutely clean and without problems.

Apart from staying with his Master, Poisonous Fox often went to the villa for a night to relieve his pressure.

At this moment, he was driving his car slowly into the villa’s estate.

The car stopped at the villa. After Poisonous Fox got out of the car, he asked the driver and bodyguard to drive back and pick him up tomorrow morning. No one would disturb them except for the servants in the villa.

Poisonous Fox walked slowly into the villa. Usually, Zhizi would have gone downstairs to welcome him, but he didn’t see her at this moment.

Poisonous Fox was somewhat gloomy. He was always in this state of mind. Zhuge Jiangnan gave light to Jiang Wu and darkness to Poisonous Fox. Only in front of Zhizi could Poisonous Fox reluctantly and only slightly tear down those walls of gloom.

Poisonous Fox walked slowly to the foot of the stairs and called up. “Zhizi.”

Suddenly, he felt a little uneasy. Even if Zhizi was not here, why didn’t even a servant come out?

Poisonous Fox turned around to run. Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps upstairs. Xiao Bing came down the stairs. At the door, a huge man appeared from nowhere to block the exit. It was Dumbass.

Poisonous Fox immediately realized that he couldn’t run away. Although he was good at conspiracy and trickery, he was only a weak man without any martial skill. That was why someone like him had to rely on and assist a strong backer.

Poisonous Fox stopped, turned his head, looked upstairs and asked, “Who are you? Why are you trapping me?”

Xiao Bing finally came down and looked at Poisonous Fox. He laughed and said, “The first sentence is to ask me why I trapped you, but you don’t want to know what happened to your woman. You are really ruthless. Poisonous Fox is indeed Poisonous Fox.”

Poisonous Fox frowned and asked, “Who are you?”

“Xiao Bing.”

Hearing his name, Poisonous Fox was even more surprised, but he didn’t show panic. Insteadly, he went to the sofa in the room and sat down. He asked in a cold voice, “What do you want of me?”

Xiao Bing’s eyes flashed with a little admiration. He sat down opposite Poisonous Fox, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and blew a smoke ring. His eyes were sharp enough to pierce the soul of Poisonous Fox. “Aren’t you afraid that I will kill you?”

“I’m afraid, but you won’t kill me.” Poisonous Fox’s tone was full of self-confidence. “If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn’t waste time talking to me. If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn’t have risked coming to Shangyang City at such a time, looking for no one else but me.”

“So, you’re not here to kill me. You’re asking me to help you.”

Xiao Bing laughed and said, “You are a smart man. I like to cooperate with smart people. Will you help me then?”

“No.” Poisonous Fox earnestly said, “Zhuge is my Master. He has taught me for more than ten years. I can’t betray him.”

Xiao Bing smiled lightly and said, “I’m not asking you to betray your Master, but I’m asking you to betray Lord Long.”

Poisonous Fox frowned and asked, “What’s the difference? Lord Long and my Master are on the same side. If Lord Long is well, my Master will naturally be well. If Lord Long dies, will my Master dwell safely?”

Xiao Bing sneered and said, “Your Master thinks so, but Lord Long may not be of the same mind. Don’t forget your friends when you’ve become rich. But not everyone understands this saying, let alone do it. Lord Long needed your Master’s help when he was younger. Now that he is powerful, your Master has long become a thorn in his flesh.”

Poisonous Fox laughed coldly saying, “Alienating one person from another is what I do best.”

Xiao Bing said, “If you want to provoke a wise man, you have to tell the truth. Listen to me first and then you decide whether I’m telling the truth.”

Poisonous Fox was noncommittal.

Xiao Bing calmly said with a smile, “I’m sure you know yourself what kind of a man Lord Long is.”

Poisonous Fox said, “He values talent, is strong, confident, and has definite opinions.”

Xiao Bing laughed and said, “Definite opinions? Maybe you’re embarrassed to use another word — self-willed. Confidence is also called conceit. What do you think is the most intolerable thing for a conceited person like him?”

Xiao Bing said before Poisonous Fox replied, “The most intolerable thing for a conceited person like him is that his own merits have been concealed by others. In his eyes, everything he owns is because of his effort and his powerful force, and he can’t bear sharing his merits with other, even a little.”

“Frankly speaking, he is the same as Xiang Yu in strength and the same as Liu Bang in mind. Such a person may succeed. After all, he has the greatest strength and power now. But as his follower, if your Master were to overshadow a little of his merit, what do you think will happen?”

Xiao Bing sneered and said, “Your Master being discarded this time is the simplest example. And this is just the beginning.”
