15: Black Snake Gang

According to the plot, the next event was a banquet hosted by the Su Family.

The three major families of Donghai were the Zhao Family, the Su Family, and the Yue Family.

These three families were century-old, established families in Donghai.

They possessed immense power and deep-rooted foundations.

However, they happened to encounter Ling Tianshi, a monster who defied all logic.

In less than ten years, Ling Tianshi had built the Ling Group, an entity that struck fear into their hearts.

In the original plot, he was killed by Lin Feng.

Logically speaking, Lin Feng should have been easily dealt with by Ling Tianshi.

But as fate would have it, when the head of the Su Family met with disaster overseas, he was fortunately saved by Lin Feng, who then became an honored guest of the Su Family.

With the head of the Su Family protecting him, Lin Feng used the opportunity to unite the three major families against the Ling Group.

Then, as the saying goes, 'hitting the small ones brings out the old ones.'

One after another, his grandfather and maternal grandfather were eliminated by Lin Feng.

Of course, it wasn't just because of Lin Feng.

It was those forces that had long been eyeing the Ling Family like tigers watching their prey.

Lin Feng was merely the fuse.

Due to his protagonist's luck, he seized the greatest benefits from the Ling Family's downfall.

Nightfall.

"Young Master, Miss Hu's arrangements... are bold, but indeed precise.

She and Young Master are truly a perfect match." Ling Wu had followed along for the entire day's operations.

At this moment, his voice carried a hint of admiration.

Young Master's judgment of people was truly spot on.

Ling Xian smiled slightly and set down his teacup. "The young phoenix sings clearer than the old.

Given a stage, she will naturally shine. Let her practice with the public opinion war.

As for us... it's time to deal with some darkness that the sunlight cannot reach."

His gaze became a bit more serious. "Lin Feng likes to play these little tricks in the shadows, so I shall toy with him using absolute power.

I'll gladly take the underground forces he relies on to build his future empire."

"Does Young Master mean...?" Ling Wu understood immediately.

"Pass down the order. Tonight, we pay a visit to that 'Black Snake'."

Meanwhile.

Inside a secret clubhouse in Donghai.

Lin Feng and Zhang Ming sat opposite each other, the table covered with red wine.

"Mr. Zhang, the public opinion has already fermented. Although Ling Corporation's stock price hasn't plummeted yet, negative reviews are increasing.

Their PR department hasn't made a decent response yet; it seems they've lost their cool."

Lin Feng drank his wine, unable to hide a bit of smugness in his heart.

He had been slapped in the face by that rich second-generation heir as soon as he arrived in Donghai.

You have money? Then I'll bankrupt your Ling Group and see what you have to be smug about then.

At this moment, seeing the Ling Corporation in trouble, Lin Feng was naturally gratified.

Zhang Ming, however, frowned. "Ling Corporation's reaction is too calm; it's not normal."

He was an old veteran of the Ling Corporation and naturally knew their capabilities. Although a large-scale purge had occurred, those purged weren't the core pillars; those remaining were the ones who actually did the work.

How could it be this calm?

"With Ling Xian's ruthlessness, it's impossible for him to have no reaction to this level of public opinion attack.

I have a feeling he's brewing something."

"Mr. Zhang, I think you're overthinking it.

He's just a green youth. Doesn't he just rely on his old man and a few bodyguards who can fight?

In terms of business tactics, can he really outplay you?

Once the public opinion ferments for a few more days, I'll contact overseas funds and take the opportunity to short Ling Corporation's stock, making a killing off him!"

Zhang Ming still didn't dare relax, even starting to wonder if he had followed the wrong person.

Years on the business battlefield had taught him that the more relaxed one became, the closer death was.

Looking at the drunk and slumbering Lin Feng.

Zhang Ming shook his head. "A mere boy is not worth plotting with."

Someone without even a sense of crisis would never achieve great things.

A dark and windy night is the perfect time for murder and arson.

In a corner of the Western District of Donghai City.

The buildings here were mostly low and dilapidated, the streets narrow, and the lighting dim.

Such an environment was prone to breeding gangs of hoodlums.

This formed the initial prototype of a gang.

The Black Snake Gang's lair was hidden within a nightclub in this area.

Deep inside the nightclub was an underground casino and an underground boxing ring.

The underground boxing ring was where Wu Poshan had been subdued last time.

Inside the casino, the air was filled with smoke, and the sounds of clashing dice, flipping cards, and gamblers' shouts were all mixed together.

Ling Xian, clad in a black robe, stood on a rooftop with Ling Wu, looking down at the gang hidden within the nightclub.

"You stay here to prevent anyone from escaping. I'll be right back," Ling Xian instructed Ling Wu.

"Huh? Young Master, isn't it me who's supposed to take action?" Ling Wu was a bit dazed.

In his memory, the Young Master didn't know any martial arts. How could he be a match for these mobsters?

However, in the next moment, Ling Xian took out a ghost mask from the system space.

One half was a crying face, the other half a laughing face.

With a "swish," he disappeared from the spot.

Shock!

Petrified!

He couldn't snap out of it for a long time!

This was the first time Ling Wu had seen the Young Master take action, and he realized the Young Master's strength was extraordinary.

"Young Master's strength is likely not inferior to mine."

This was an underestimation of Ling Xian, as Ling Xian had never shown his full power.

This led Ling Wu to have a strange confidence that he could be compared to Ling Xian.

Ling Xian hid in the shadows and silently circled to the back of the nightclub.

This was a passage specifically used for "handling" certain unsavory matters, and the guards were clearly tighter than at the front door.

Two burly men wearing black tank tops with Peppa Pig tattoos on their arms were leaning against the wall at the entrance of the passage, smoking and grumbling about how boring tonight's duty was.

"Damn it, it's us two guarding this crappy back door again. Can't even see the shadow of a girl."

"Be content. Things are messy inside. I heard something happened on Brother Hui's end, and the Boss is in a bad mood. Careful not to cross him."

In the next instant, Ling Xian's figure merged into the darkness, passing by the two men at a speed incomprehensible to ordinary people.

The two burly guards only felt a cool breeze brush past them, followed by a sudden blackout as they fainted on the spot.

Their bodies didn't even have time to fall before being supported by two invisible currents of energy, slowly sliding to the ground.

Ling Xian didn't stop for a moment and entered the passage directly.

Anyone he encountered along the way was knocked unconscious by Ling Xian using special means, ending up just like the two burly men at the door.

"Is it a bit too quiet today? Where's Old Six and the others?"

"Who knows? Maybe they're hiding somewhere slacking off..."

Before the words even finished, Ling Xian appeared before them like he had teleported.

*Crack!*

The two fainted on the spot.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the underground boxing ring had reached a fever pitch.

In the best viewing position right in front of the stage sat a huge leather sofa.

A burly middle-aged man with a gold chain around his neck was sitting there.

He was the leader of the Black Snake Gang, known as "Black Snake."

Currently, he had his arms around two scantily clad, hot, and seductive bunny girls.

One wore a sequined low-cut mini-dress that barely covered the essentials, her snowy breasts mostly exposed as she snuggled in Black Snake's embrace, whispering in his ear with a voice so sweet it was sickening.

The other was wearing black lace camisole and hot pants, revealing a pair of straight long legs, as she fed a peeled grape into Black Snake's mouth.
