Chapter 736: Chapter 725 Mantis Stalking the Cicada
“This is our escape route,” Song Yun placed his hand on the map, pointing at the red lines and said, “These are the escape routes I’ve devised for each area. If possible, we’ll run according to this. And just like when we came here, we should disperse instead of running together. It makes us a bigger target and increases the chance of exposure. I’ll have Zhao Yan arrange for people to meet us at the border. As long as we can successfully escape back to Sunan, our mission will be considered a success! If Wang Billion and Wang Kai die, the Wen Commerce Association would inevitably fall into chaos. At that time, if no strong figure steps up to control the situation, the chaos within the Wen Commerce Association should last quite a while, and that, too, is an opportunity for us.”
“Do you mean?” Jue Wu looked at Song Yun in surprise.
“Do you think just killing those people would count as avenging Wang Hu?” Song Yun’s eyes sparkled as he said, “If possible, I hope to take a big chunk of flesh from the Wen Commerce Association! The day that our Shura Alliance’s flag is planted on this land, that’s when I’ll dare say I’ve avenged Wang Hu.”
“We’re just the muscle, let Song Yun do the thinking,” Black Flood Dragon said.
Meanwhile, in the Wen Commerce Association headquarters, in the office of Wang Billion,
“What? Not a single person was found, you… you!!!” Wang Billion’s face turned crimson as he looked at his subordinates. He had sent out over a thousand people and still hadn’t found a single Shura Alliance member, which was unbearable for the always confident Wang Billion.
“Could those people have evaporated?” Wang Billion roared.
“I don’t know; we’ve already stationed people at every entry point into the area, and we’ve checked every inn. But now that it’s close to the new year, with the surge of people returning home, we… we are also finding it difficult to identify them,” a subordinate, trembling slightly, said from below Wang Billion.
“Useless, all of you are useless! Get out, intensify the search, collaborate with the police, and check IDs! Anyone suspicious, check their IDs, got it?” Wang Billion shouted.
“Understood!”
After the subordinates left, a man appeared silently beside Wang Billion, laughing, “Take it easy, Billion.”
“These useless fools, I spend so much money on them annually, and now when I need them, they’re no use at all!” Wang Billion fumed as he sat at his desk.
“Heh, if it were so easy to catch him, Song Yun would have died countless times already,” the man leaned against Wang Billion’s desk, his purplish face unnerving to look at.
“Ghost King, where do you think Song Yun could be hiding?” Wang Billion asked.
“I don’t know, and I don’t care where he’s hiding,” Ghost King replied. “In the end, his target is you, isn’t it? He’ll show up sooner or later. With me by your side, what is there to fear? Plus, I heard that Kirin has come down, too. That posturing man, although his skills aren’t that great, he is Kunpeng’s brother, and he’s just come out from a seclusion, should be interesting now. With both of us here, Song Yun can’t touch you at all.”
“Mm, thanks, Ghost King.”
“Don’t mention it, it’s all for profit,” Ghost King said with a smile.
Over at Wang Kai’s side,
Recently, Wang Kai, though restricted by his father from major outings, still enjoyed life as usual, especially since returning from Sunan, he seemed completely relieved, spending his days cavorting with women and drinking.
“Don’t think that sometimes he couldn’t even leave the house, but that didn’t stop women from coming to him willingly. Drinking wine directly mouth-to-mouth, and they delivered themselves to his bed. All he had to do was lie there and enjoy. This life was much more comfortable than before.
“Young master, the old master asked you to be careful recently,” a man appeared beside Wang Kai, who was comfortably lying in a woman’s embrace, resting his head on her bosom.
“Careful of what? A mere Song Yun, what storm can he stir up? If he really dares show up, want to bet I can make him die just like Wang Hu?” Wang Kai arrogantly said, his eyes filled with disdain.
Gai Nie’s figure appeared beside Wang Kai at some point.
“We really should be more cautious,” Gai Nie said with a somewhat solemn expression, “Song Yun has been missing up until now, he must be planning something. Don’t get caught off guard and lose your life.”
Wang Kai listened to Gai Nie’s words quite seriously, but he just laughed and said, “I’m not afraid of Song Yun showing up. I’m waiting for him right now.”
“Oh?”
“Once he shows up, the people from the legitimate side will immediately come over. Combined with our Wen Commerce Association’s forces, we’ll surround and annihilate him. Do you think Song Yun has any chance to survive? Even if Song Yun could escape, his subordinates like Black Flood Dragon and Jue Wu, none of them would get away. And those hundred people, all of them will be locked up, then dealt with slowly. As long as we can keep these people here, the Shura Alliance in Sunan will pose no threat. Then, my Wen Commerce Association will flatten the entire Shura Alliance, hahaha!” A ferocious expression covered Wang Kai’s face.
While Song Yun was plotting to kill Wang Billion and Wang Kai and to take advantage along the way, Wang Billion, the hegemon of the Southeast, was making the same calculations as Song Yun.
In these times, everyone was smart, and everyone’s calculations were well thought out. In the end, only one would prevail, whether it was Wang Billion or Song Yun, no one knew.
As the sky gradually darkened.
It was nearing dusk, and Song Yun and his group came out of the private room, Song Yun looking gloomy. The boss seemed like a chatty person, smiling as he said, “Young man, made any money?”
“Made a fuck-all, lost everything. Boss, how much for the private room? Calculate it,” Song Yun said gloomily.
“Total of eighty-eight, let’s call it eighty-five,” the boss said.
“Here, you pay,” Song Yun glanced at Black Flood Dragon, his eyes full of displeasure, “You won so much from me, you had fun, huh? You have no objections to paying for the private room, right?”
“Heh, no objections,” Black Flood Dragon shrugged indifferently, took out a hundred yuan note, handed it to the lounge’s boss, who gave Black Flood Dragon fifteen yuan back, and then said, “Welcome to come again.”
After Song Yun and his group left, the boss muttered to himself, “All new faces. But that woman did have a nice figure, sounds like a Northerner, probably not the person upper management is looking for though.”
“Boss, add water,” a voice called out from a private room, and the boss snapped back to reality, grinning, “Right away.”
And thus, the fleeting thought passed just like that.
