Chapter 777: Leave No One Alive
Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
“Big Brother, you—” Ye Zifeng stared dazedly at Ye Mo. He’d heard tales of Ye Mo’s decisive killing, but this was his first witness—and a bloody one at that.
Ye Mo seemingly ignored Ye Zifeng, unleashing four finger winds to staunch Dong Tanzhen’s bleeding. The ease with which he stopped the massive hemorrhage was unbelievable.
Everyone in the meeting room had awakened. Xu Yuehua and Xu Ping were unharmed, but Xu Qianqian was vomiting from the carnage. It was simply too bloody.
She understood Ye Mo’s actions. She knew the meeting’s purpose, but could only protect herself. Ye Mo had given her this chance, restoring her appearance. Therefore, she’d planned to resign, but now Ye Mo had returned.
Ye Mo fixed a cold gaze on Ye Shihua and Shen De, who attempted to flee. “Remain seated, and I might spare your lives. Dare to move, and you’ll share this man’s fate.”
“Big Brother, Shihua is my cousin, a member of the Ye family,” Ye Zifeng finally grasped Ye Mo’s ruthlessness.
Ye Mo finally turned his cold gaze on Ye Zifeng. “Zifeng, first, Luo Yue doesn’t belong to the Ye family. Even if Ye Beirong dared to do this, I would still kill him. Second, your naivete is unbecoming of someone from a prominent family. I disregard your position as City Lord, but how could you forget those who originally followed me? Did they wrong you? No explanations are needed; others will address this.”
Ye Mo approached Dong Tanzhen and kicked him in the head. Dong Tanzhen’s eyes glazed over.
“Your name?” Ye Mo asked, coldly observing the convulsing Dong Tanzhen.
Dong Tanzhen mumbled, “Dongfang Tanzhen.”
“Who sent you? Why?” Ye Mo pressed.
“The Young Master sent me. He believes Luo Yue is more suitable for Xi Tang’s development. We’ll take over everything in Luo Yue,” Dong Tanzhen replied.
Ye Mo turned to Dong Chong and Dong Nana. “Don’t delude yourselves; you dared to come to Luo Yue—”
A bullet whizzed toward Ye Mo. He caught it, flicking it back instantly.
Blood erupted as Dong Chong’s gun-holding hand shattered, spraying blood on Dong Nana and Ye Shihua.
Ye Mo advanced, delivering several kicks that sent Dong Nana, Ye Shihua, Dong Chong, and Shen De sprawling together.
“Is your Young Master Dongfang Wang? I doubt Dongfang Tang possesses the audacity; it must be Dongfang Wang. The Dongfang family’s arrogance is astounding. You believe you can simply seize Luo Yue’s land? Deliver a message to Dongfang Wang: Even if he controls every official in Luo Yue, Luo Yue City will never belong to the Dongfang family,” Ye Mo stated icily.
Ye Zifeng muttered, “How can this be? Nana, you’re Dongfang, aren’t you?”
“Zifeng, I’m sorry, I owe you,” Dongfang Nana rose suddenly, charging toward a pillar to ram her head against it.
Ye Zifeng lunged forward, grabbing her. “Nana, don’t! Big Brother won’t kill you!”
Ye Mo sneered. His spirit sense detected a mini-pistol in Dongfang Nana’s pocket. She didn’t need to kill herself by headbutting the pillar. But Ye Mo didn’t bother revealing this. He understood Ye Zifeng’s love for Dongfang Nana, but she was merely using him.
Ye Mo seated himself, then spoke slowly. “Second Brother, Sister Yuehua, why are so many familiar faces missing? Why is Fang Wei imprisoned?”
Xu Ping hung his head guiltily. “Sorry, Third Brother. I failed to manage the family well.”
Xu Yuehua stood. “CEO, the primary responsibility lies with me. I only just realized the resignation documents for Commander Huang, Yu Miaodan, and others were signed by me. Zifeng presented them; I didn’t think much of it—”
Ye Ling interjected, “I know Sister Yu and Commander Huang never intended to resign. Those orders were forged. After Sister Yuehua signed other documents, Dongfang Tanzhen altered the content, using Sister Yuehua’s supposed orders to apprehend Sister Yu and the others. Brother, Second Brother’s infatuation with Dongfang Nana led to frequent disputes with Sister Yuehua. Sister Yuehua felt like an outsider due to Zifeng’s position, which enabled them to gradually seize control of Luo Yue. I saw it happening, but dared not speak. Sister Luo Ying and Qingxue left. I planned to tell them upon their return, but they never came back. Luckily, you returned today.”
Ye Ling wiped her eyes. She knew exposing this might result in Sister Yuehua, Xu Ping, and others being killed. They only refrained due to fear of a revolt.
She knew her brother’s return would rectify things, but the dead couldn’t be resurrected. She witnessed Brother Zang, even at the Earth Level Tertiary stage, fall within three moves against the master Brother Ye had slain.
Luckily, Brother had returned, restoring things to their former state.
Ye Mo sighed, approaching Ye Ling. “Ye Ling, I misjudged you. Was it beyond redemption when you discovered it?”
Ye Zifeng was the willing traitor; Ye Ling was powerless.
“Brother!” Ye Ling nodded, sobbing into Ye Mo’s arms.
After a while, Ye Ling recalled something. “Brother, you must rescue Sister Yu, Commander Huang, and the others. Dongfang Tanzhen imprisoned them in He Zi Strait Military Prison.”
“What? They left Luo Yue?” Xu Yuehua gasped, trembling.
Ye Zifeng was stunned. He’d always appreciated Dongfang Nana’s understanding and care. When so many of Luo Yue’s old guard left, she introduced capable replacements. Only now did he realize his foolishness.
Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to hate her.
“I’ll save them!” Xu Ping slammed the table, his face a mask of guilt and fury.
Ye Mo waved a hand. “No need. I’ll go. This is my fault.”
Ye Mo swiftly killed Ye Shihua and Shen De with wind blades, then destroyed Dongfang Chong and Dongfang Nana’s dantians. He then instructed Xu Yuehua, “Sister Yuehua, now isn’t the time for self-recrimination. Imprison and interrogate these two.”
To Xu Ping, Ye Mo commanded, “Second Brother, seize control of the army immediately and annihilate the Dongfang family, whether here or elsewhere. Kill everyone except the women they abducted from Luo Yue City. Leave no one alive.”
“What?!” The words sent shockwaves through the room.
