Chapter 613: The Threat of Northern Sand Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
Northern Sand, that crazy organization! They actually sent those insane killers and weapons to kill him. This pistol could pierce anything; no matter what you used to block it, you'd die.
Ye Mo was confident he could easily kill ten of these mutants, but what if they all had such weapons? If they attacked simultaneously, it would be hard to say who would win. Ye Mo was sure the blue light would hit him first.
The blue light was faster than Ye Mo could react. Was this how Northern Sand planned to take him out? But Ye Mo believed that even with such a powerful weapon, only this white man could react that quickly.
“You knew I was the real attacker? Your reaction speed is almost as good as mine! You’re strong, very strong,” the white man said, then fell to the ground.
He'd killed himself. Why was this guy so similar to Black Sun Empire members? Who still uses poison to commit suicide when caught? But why weren't Kong Laiwu and Dai Heng committing suicide?
Ye Mo turned to Kong Laiwu, whose face was pale, and said coldly, “Nice calculations, Mr. Kong. Northern Sand is quite impressive. One thing though: you planned to have this tall white guy mask the blue light, but perhaps you were chosen to filter it too. Honestly, I didn't expect you to create such a weapon.”
Kong Laiwu's face fell. He knew he was finished. Ye Mo ignored him and looked at Lu Lin and the others. “Now that you're here, you don't have to worry anymore.”
Then, Ye Mo looked at the tall white man in shock. The place where the blue light pierced him began to expand.
“Brother Ye, thank you for saving us again,” Yi Yanyan said first.
“Thank you. Ye Mo, I don’t even care about the heritage anymore, as long as the three of us are safe,” Lu Lin said. They'd thought they were done for when they were brought there, but then they saw Ye Mo. The rollercoaster of emotions they'd experienced and the sight of the dead bodies made them grateful to be alive.
The battle had been so fast that by the time Shi Xiu and Xue Guoyang reacted, it was over.
Ye Mo walked to Kong Laiwu and patted his shoulder, saying, “I’ve sealed your meridians, so cooperate. I’ll wait for you in Jiu Tang. If you accomplish anything, come find me tomorrow. If not, there’s no need.”
Ye Mo then turned to Dai Heng. “Go back and make me happy. If I’m not satisfied, you can imagine the consequences.”
Then, Ye Mo looked at Yi Lan. All she felt from his gaze was frigidity. He didn’t kill Dai Heng because he needed him to do things. He could kill Dai Heng anytime. Having an obedient dog was better than killing him.
After seeing Ye Mo leave, Kong Laiwu couldn't understand why he was letting them go.
But soon, Kong Laiwu felt the inner qi in his body gathering toward his dantian. He couldn't control it, and at the current rate, his dantian would explode in two days. He finally understood why Ye Mo had let him go.
…..
“Brother Ye, your girlfriend is really pretty,” Yi Xiaodi said, the first to recover.
“Thank you, you’re pretty too,” Ye Mo smiled, then said to Lu Lin, “After Dai Heng brings the money, you guys can move to Luo Yue if you don’t like it here.”
“Huh? We can go to Luo Yue? I heard getting in is very strict. Also, why would Dai Heng bring any money?” Yi Yanyan asked.
Ye Mo replied, “If he’s smart, he will. Don’t worry. As for Luo Yue, I’ll give you a number to call.”
“Ye Mo, will Brother Chunsheng be okay? Won’t this cause problems with the Dai and Qiu families?” Shi Xiu asked worriedly.
Ye Mo said, “I don’t want to interfere, but Li Chunsheng is my friend, so I’ll help him. Don’t worry. I believe Kong Laiwu knows what to do, too.”
Ye Mo didn’t want to kill Kong Laiwu. He might have already marked a high-level Northern Sand member; he wouldn't mind having another. Northern Sand threatened him. It seemed they considered him their number one enemy, too. One day, he would have to confront Northern Sand.
He didn’t need to make Kong Laiwu join him to control him—that wasn't realistic—but he could still control him in other ways.
…..
Kong Laiwu appeared sooner than Ye Mo expected. He came to Ye Mo’s place early the second day.
“Northern Sand didn’t start the fight between the Li, Dai, and Qiu families. We just took advantage of it. We can promise our goals don’t conflict with yours. Dai Heng dealt with Li Chunsheng because he had his family's support,” Kong Laiwu revealed.
Ye Mo knew Kong Laiwu was trying to gain his trust.
Then, Kong Laiwu produced a check and said, “This is the money for Jiuhe Corporation.”
Ye Mo looked at Lu Lin and asked, “This check is for 900 million, but I don’t know Jiuhe Corporation’s market value. Is it enough?”
“It’s enough. Actually, it’s not worth that much,” Lu Lin said, knowing the corporation was worth at most 500 million.
Ye Mo waved his hand. “The extra is compensation. Just take it.”
With Ye Mo’s confirmation, Lu Lin agreed.
Seeing Ye Mo take the check, Kong Laiwu breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Secretary Li’s case has been proven to be a wrongful accusation. He’s returned to his position. As compensation, the Dai and Qiu families are willing to vacate a provincial Vice Mayor position in He Feng. I’m just conveying the message.”
Ye Mo thought, ‘Good that Li Chunsheng got promoted again.’ He nodded.
Then he said to Shi Xiu, “Li Chunsheng got promoted; go celebrate with him in He Feng.”
“Of course,” Shi Xiu immediately nodded.
“That will do,” Ye Mo said, patting Kong Laiwu’s shoulder. He not only removed the restrictions but also secretly left behind a hidden wave of chi.
Kong Laiwu was relieved Ye Mo didn’t kill him. He immediately left, not daring to mention their precious super light beam gun.
