After the bodies had been cleared away, Lu Haotian walked up to Lin Mo and said with full apology,
"Sorry, Mr. Lin, I failed to protect Die Mo Pharmaceutical."
However, Lin Mo waved his hand dismissively and said lightly, "This is not your fault. The middle-aged man just now was a Martial Arts Grandmaster and it's normal that you couldn't handle him."
Lu Haotian nodded, full of gratitude, "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Lin."
"By the way, how is Die Mo Pharmaceutical doing at the moment?" Lin Mo asked.
"Mr. Lin, currently both the marketing and sales departments at Die Mo Pharmaceutical are operating very well."
"It can be said that now it's booming throughout Jiangnan."
"There are countless people looking to partner with us."
"However, it is precisely because of this that we have attracted the attention of the newly emerging Su Family."
Hearing this, Lin Mo snorted lightly, "Attracted our attention? They dare to covet Die Mo Pharmaceutical that I personally founded? The Su Family is really bold."
"Indeed, Mr. Lin, it is said that the Su Family has the backing of an extremely strong expert, even more formidable than Yuan Qingtian, who is fourth on the Emperor List."
"It's said to be a foreign expert, seems to be some Superpower User, and supposedly very oppressive."
"Superpower User?"
Lin Mo laughed lightly, completely unbothered, "I just killed a Superpower User a few days ago. It seems these foreign Superpower Users think too highly of themselves, daring to come to Huaxia to act tyrannically."
"Mr. Lin, what do you plan to do?"
"What to do? Eradicate both the Su Family and the foreign Superpower User, not sparing a single one from the Su Family!"
Lin Mo's voice sounded casual, but to Lu Haotian and Long San, it felt like the freezing Siberian winds of December.
Carrying a bone-chilling murderous intent.
Meanwhile, at the Su Family,
Su Nan, only twenty-one years old, had already taken the helm of the Su Family.
The reason was nothing else; Su Nan had personally killed his own father to succeed.
At this moment, Su Nan was extremely buoyant; he had never been valued in his family because he was an illegitimate son.
However, a chance encounter brought him to know James and he even became his apprentice.
Now, he was truly experiencing the feeling of being a monarch.
The entire Su Family, at this moment, was filled with the wealthiest and big shots of Shu Province.
Su Nan took a deep breath, rose, and looked out from the second-floor villa window, feeling his ambition tower over Nine Heavens, his body filled with fighting spirit and pride:
"Who would have thought, Su Nan would have a day where he sat at the summit of Shu Province!"
"The future is in my hands, power and fame alike!"
Su Nan's heart was filled with pride, experiencing the feeling of "controlling the world and reclining intoxicated with beauty," something he had dreamed of all his life.
Right then, a hurried figure pushed the door open.
"Young Master Su, it's bad!!"
Su Nan gave him a cold glance, his voice icy, "Do you know the consequences of barging in like this?"
"I... I'm sorry! Young Master Su, I know my mistake, please... please spare my life, I really have something very urgent to tell you."
Seeing the tall man trembling with fear, Su Nan quite enjoyed it, then coldly said, "Speak, what is it."
The tall man swallowed, took a deep breath, then quickly said, "Young Master Su, Lin Mo has returned!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Su Nan's expression slightly changed, "Could it be that the four experts sent last night to kill him failed?"
With this thought, Su Nan turned his head to look at James, slightly anxious voice, "Master, Lin Mo has returned, could he be coming for revenge?"
The foreign man known as Master, James, waved his hand dismissively and scoffed,
"No worries, it was just the former peak of Shu Province, right? Now that I, James, am here, you are the new peak of Shu Province."
"If this Lin Mo does not know his place, I will personally behead him."
Joy flashed in Su Nan's eyes, yet he said with a heavier tone, "Master, did you know that Yuan Qingtian, the fifth-ranked superpower user on the Emperor List, died at his hands?"
Hearing this, James burst into laughter:
"Yuan Qingtian? Emperor List? You have set your sights too low. To me, Yuan Qingtian is but an ant, and if he were before me, he would only face instant death."
"How does it matter that Lin Mo killed Yuan Qingtian? His strength compared to mine is like heaven and earth."
Hearing this, Su Nan immediately felt completely relieved.
Soon, Su Nan and James walked downstairs.
Though the two were master and disciple, their real relationship was one of mutual benefit. James supported Su Nan to take the top position in Shu Province, and in return, Su Nan was to hand over eighty percent of all benefits to James.
However, Su Nan didn't mind these arrangements. As long as he could sit atop Shu Province and hold the power of the world, what would it matter if he handed over ninety percent of the benefits to James?
The entire Su Family villa district was now packed with people.
When Su Nan descended from the second-floor villa, everyone present showed the utmost respect.
Su Nan felt that he was indeed at the peak of his life.
Looking at everyone present, Su Nan, with his hands clasped behind his back, spoke in a commanding tone:
"I believe everyone understands the reason I invited you all here."
"I'll only say two things. Those willing to follow me, Su Nan, will have interests far superior to those following Lin Mo from now on!"
"Those unwilling to follow me, after today, just roll out of Shu Province, otherwise, I, Su Nan, will never let you off!"
Hearing this, the wealthy and high-status individuals began whispering among themselves.
Seeing the people whispering, Su Nan was neither anxious nor concerned.
Instead, he waited patiently.
Soon, several tycoons spoke up:
"Young Master Su, if we follow you, what do we do if Lin Mo comes back to settle scores with us?"
"Yes, Lin Mo did kill the Emperor List's fifth-ranked superpower user, Yuan Qingtian!"
"His strength is astonishing. If we betray him now, isn't that seeking our own death?"
Upon hearing this, Su Nan sneered and then pointed to James beside him and said:
"You needn't worry about that anymore—do you know who he is?"
"He is my master, a top foreign superpower user. You might not know what a superpower user is, but let me tell you, any superpower user is countless times more powerful than any martial artist in Huaxia."
"If Yuan Qingtian faced my master, he would be killed in one encounter."
Hearing this, the wealthy and high-status people present became excited.
"Is he that powerful?"
"I remember that when Lin Mo killed Yuan Qingtian, it took quite some time."
"If what you say is true, then your master is indeed one step ahead."
Soon, many of the wealthy and high-status attendees responded:
"We support Young Master Su!"
"Yes, from now on, we will honor Young Master Su!"
However, some wealthy and high-status individuals were still worried:
"Forget it, I'm still siding with Mr. Lin."
"Yes, Mr. Lin is an existence close to the divine."
Just then, a sudden voice resounded through the venue.
"Very well! Those who still wish to follow me, Lin Mo, can continue to live!"
"As for those who turn against me, they can go to their deaths."
No sooner had the words fallen than everyone saw a tall young man, appearing like the Nine Heavens Monarch, emerge at the scene.
The next second, he pointed a single finger.
In an instant, those treacherous tycoons and celebrities, their eyes widening with horror, were shocked to their core and blinked as hundreds died on the spot.
Suddenly, those wealthy and high-status individuals who were still alive trembled all over and fell kneeling to the ground with a thud:
"Mr. Lin, spare our lives, we swear to follow you loyally and never betray you."
As for Su Nan and James, their expressions turned ugly and morbid in an instant.
