158: Paving the way with blood and bones to build glory
As expected, after Brother Dao answered the phone, his face lit up in a moment. He didn't know what John said to him, but it made him nod repeatedly in agreement.
After the call ended, everyone cautiously asked, "Minister, judging by the expression on your face, did the leader give us a mission?"
The others, hearing this, rubbed their hands like flies, looking expectantly at Brother Dao, who was seated at the head.
Brother Dao saw their expressions and had no intention of keeping them in suspense. He put away his smile and said seriously, "That's right, the higher-ups are going to deal with the Four Great Families. After today, Kokang will no longer have Four Great Families. Without the Four Great Families, not only will the Kokang underworld be ours, but all their industries will also belong to us.
By then, Kokang will have no enemies. The leader will definitely let us expand outwards. Didn't you want an opportunity? Now the opportunity has come. It's up to you whether you can grasp it. Gather the brothers. I don't care about the other three families, but the Wei Family... leave no one alive."
John had specifically instructed on the phone that the Wei Family was to be exterminated to the ninth degree of kinship!
This made him guess that the reason the higher-ups wanted to deal with the Four Great Families was definitely because the Wei Family had offended someone they shouldn't have.
As for the other three families, they seemed to be just an afterthought.
As for who the Wei Family offended, that was none of his concern. He didn't even need to guess to know it was definitely a high-ranking member of the organization.
The other leaders couldn't help but gasp when they heard Brother Dao's words. They didn't believe Brother Dao was joking about exterminating the nine degrees of kinship; this must have been an instruction from the leader.
From this, it was clear that their opportunity was given by the Wei Family.
This made them feel grateful to the Wei Family. Such great kindness could not be repaid, except by ensuring the nine degrees of kinship of the Wei Family walked the Yellow Springs Road together, which could be considered repayment.
After all, walking the path to the underworld alone was too lonely, and they couldn't stand such things.
"Understood, Minister. Don't worry, we and the brothers below will not disappoint you, nor will we disgrace our branch."
"That's right, the brothers below have long been sharpening their knives for the Four Great Families. If it weren't for the order from above, they would have long since drawn their blades against the four families, paving the way with blood and bones to forge glory!"
"Minister, then without further ado, we will take our leave!"
Brother Dao saw everyone's high morale and nodded in satisfaction, "No rush. First, gather the people. We will act in half an hour."
Everyone immediately became anxious upon hearing this. Mobilizing people and then waiting half an hour? Wouldn't that give the other side time to react?
"Minister, that won't do! While they haven't reacted yet, that's our best opportunity, just like that lightning strike on Poland, swift, accurate, and ruthless, giving them no time to react and taking them down in one fell swoop."
"That's right, The Art of War, chapter..."
Brother Dao heard this and quickly raised his hand to interrupt. "Damn it, you're even bringing up military strategy." He reluctantly uttered seven words, "This is the leader's intention."
Everyone immediately fell silent when they heard it was John's intention.
Since it was the leader's intention, there must be a reason for it.
After everyone left, the hall became much quieter. Brother Dao had a splitting headache; being a minister was indeed not easy.
However, this kind of life was more interesting.
While they were mobilizing, on the other side!
Wei Ziyi drove his limited edition supercar to a nearby bar, parked the car at the entrance, and casually tossed the keys to the security guard in a suit at the door.
The other party took the keys and, at the same time, bowed respectfully and greeted, "Young Master Wei, good evening!"
Wei Ziyi merely nodded slightly at this and quickly walked into the bar.
Passing through the long corridor, he entered the bar's interior. It was a scene of dazzling lights and revelry, the air filled with the smell of alcohol, mixed with women's perfume.
Scantily clad girls, flushed cheeks, coupled with alluring expressions, stimulated the nerves of every man there at all times.
"Oh, Young Master Wei, what brings you here today? We just got a new batch of 'goods' today. Would you like me to bring them over for your appraisal?"
A woman with a seductive figure saw Wei Ziyi arrive and quickly approached him, saying.
As for what the 'goods' in the woman's mouth were, Wei Ziyi naturally knew clearly, as it wasn't the first time.
The new 'goods' at this bar were famously good.
This immediately piqued his interest. He raised his hand and pinched the woman's chin, leaning in for a deep sniff. Immediately, a unique fragrance of a mature woman entered his nostrils, intoxicating him.
He leaned in and whispered in her ear, "You're a little different today."
The woman heard this, her eyes full of spring, and she said alluringly, "Oh, Young Master Wei, tell me, what's different about me today?"
"Today, your scent, it's so good~"
The woman heard this, coupled with the tingling sensation in her ear, and her legs trembled slightly. "Young Master Wei, you're so annoying. Wait, I'll go get someone for you."
With that, she quickly left. For some reason, she headed towards the restroom.
This made the corner of Wei Ziyi's mouth curl into a slight smile.
He arrived at his exclusive booth, but just as he sat down, a slender man plopped down beside him.
He poured himself a glass of wine and then chugged it down.
Wei Ziyi's face darkened at this. "Damn it, who the hell are you? Did I tell you to sit down?"
What kind of place was this?
Kokang, who dared to disrespect him? They must have eaten too many red beans and wanted to die.
However, the other party completely ignored his curses, slowly put down the wine glass, turned his head, and looked at him calmly.
As if looking at a dead man, "Are you Wei Ziyi of the Wei Family?"
For some reason, Wei Ziyi felt a chill run down his spine being stared at with that expression, but remembering where he was, he immediately flared up in anger.
"That's right, I am Wei Ziyi. Who the hell are you?"
"It's fine if it's you. I'm from the Pyramid. Someone wants your life."
At these words, Wei Ziyi's pupils contracted, and his face changed drastically.
Pyramid?
Although he hadn't had contact with this organization, his position forced him to understand the dark world.
And the Pyramid, he happened to have heard of. It was an assassin organization that had recently emerged. Although it hadn't been around for long, according to the information he had, anyone targeted by this organization had never lived for more than three days.
Their commission was very high, twice the market price.
This made him wonder who would pay double the commission to hire the Pyramid to kill him.
It was unlikely to be people from the other three families, as the Four Great Families had always maintained a clear boundary for so many years.
He hadn't offended anyone recently.
Furthermore, as an assassin, you're too unprofessional. You actually appeared openly in front of me. Shouldn't you have stealthily slit my throat?
Although he thought this, he still pulled out the pistol on his person with lightning speed.
However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as the gun was raised, an intense pain stimulated his brain nerves.
A gush of blood spurted out, and his entire palm was severed.
"Ah ah ah~ Kill me, and you won't be able to leave Kokang either. Let me go, I can give you triple the commission. If you tell me who the employer is, I can add another triple."
The severe pain almost made him faint. Covering his severed hand, cold sweat streamed down his forehead.
The spirited demeanor he once had was long gone. Now, all he wanted was to rush to the hospital and reattach his hand.
Of course, if he could find out from the other party who wanted to kill him, that would be even better.
Unfortunately, he knew it was impossible. If it were, they wouldn't be called the Pyramid.
