Chapter 1431 Yes

He nodded slowly and said two words, "Okay."

"But you need to promise me one thing."

"You say."

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

There will only be a sequel if there is interest.

The plan was risky, but the result was commendable.

Hong Ye's strength in Europe City is by no means ordinary, and Luo Feng does not dare to confront him head-on.

"I will keep the jade pendant for now."

Hong Ye narrowed his eyes, and the tone of each word carried the unquestionable authority unique to those in a superior position.

Especially since his face is expressionless, it's impossible to guess what he's thinking.

Luo Feng seemed to have expected this. He took out a brocade box from his pocket and placed it on the table. "Deal."

Master Hong gestured for the bodyguard to put away the brocade box, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "Where are the children? I'll take some men to pick them up."

"I've already made arrangements at the resort."

Luo Feng stood up. "Then thank you very much, Master Hong."

Watching his departing figure, Master Hong fell into deep thought.

This guy is really interesting.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't met such interesting people in a long time that Hongye found it very intriguing.

As they left the villa, Team Leader Chen couldn't help but ask, "Did you really give him the jade pendant?"

Wasn't Luo Feng guarding this thing all along?
He was increasingly unable to understand his master's thoughts.

"It's fake," Luo Feng said calmly.

"Fake...fake?" Team Leader Chen was slightly taken aback.

If this is a fake, how could Master Hong, with his status, not be able to tell?

Luo Feng smiled slyly, "It really has been hidden for a long time."

"And I also tampered with the fake one."

Team Leader Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief; after all, it was Mr. Luo, whom he knew.

“Those children…”

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements."

Luo Feng looked into the distance, his eyes deep, "This time, it'll be hard for Master Hong to avoid getting in."

Inside Master Hong's villa, a bodyguard handed Master Hong a brocade box.

Master Hong opened the brocade box, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the jade pendant inside.

"Is this jade pendant... real?" he asked.

After a careful examination, the expert next to him nodded and said, "Brother Hong, it's real."

Hongye laughed, his laughter tinged with smugness, "Luo Feng, you're still too green."

"I thought you had some tricks up your sleeve, but this is all you've got."

He turned his wheelchair and said to his bodyguard, "Go! Go and bring those children here. Take good care of them and don't let them down."

The bodyguard obeyed and left. Hongye looked at the jade pendant, a hint of fanaticism flashing in his eyes.

The secret of Kunlun Ruins is finally about to be revealed.

To be honest, it was easier than he had imagined.

"It seems that Luo Feng is no different from those people after all. I haven't fought anyone in a long time, and I actually thought he was different from others."

Unbeknownst to him, Luo Feng was standing in the resort's monitoring room, watching the children being picked up, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Team Leader Chen, proceed according to plan."

"Yes."

In the surveillance footage, the children were taken into the car, their faces showing no fear, but rather excitement.

Luo Feng knew that the real show was just beginning.

On the monitor screen, the last little one even made a face at the camera as he was being shoved into the car.

Luo Feng turned off the screen, turned around and looked at Team Leader Chen behind him, his face expressionless.

"Are the people on Shuang Xiaoyun's side reliable?" Team Leader Chen asked.

"They are all specially trained, in combat, disguise, and emergency response; they are no worse than our bodyguards."

Upon hearing Luo Feng's words, Team Leader Chen couldn't help but speak up, "But their age is a factor!"

However, Luo Feng handed him a file, saying, "The youngest started training at the age of six, and Hong Ye couldn't find any flaws."

Upon hearing this, Team Leader Chen took the document, flipped through a couple of pages, and casually placed it on the table, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"If Master Hong knew that he had invited a hostage, and a hostage at that, his expression would be quite interesting."

“Yeah, he likes to be in control, so let him be in control. I’m not interested anyway.” Luo Feng crossed his arms and smiled knowingly.

Team Leader Chen also smiled, "About the jade pendant..."

"A little bit of the real stuff was mixed in with the fake."

Luo Feng took a sip of tea and smiled faintly.

"It was made from scraps, and the dragon aura was simulated with a special potion. It can't be seen in a short time."

"By the time he realizes something is wrong, the children will have already started making a fuss."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a report came through the walkie-talkie.

“Mr. Luo, Mr. Hong’s convoy entered the resort, and as you said, they weren’t stopped.”

“Very good.” Luo Feng picked up his coat. “Notify Colin to prepare to close the net.”

"This must be the first time our Boss Hong has ever experienced this kind of treatment, right?"

Team Leader Chen suppressed a smile.

He had previously thought that Hongye was quite impressive after hearing about his experiences.

Now, in front of Luo Feng, they are no different from those cats and dogs.

This is Luo Feng himself, and this is why he loyally follows Luo Feng.

When the eight little ones were led into the living room at Master Hong's villa, they all looked around with curious eyes, completely at ease, as if they were family.

The girl in the pink dress climbed onto the sofa, grabbed a strawberry from the fruit bowl, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Grandpa Hong sat in his wheelchair, looking at the group of children with a slight frown.

"Behave yourselves," he said in a deep voice.

His face showed impatience.

After all, he's getting old. One or two would be fine, but so many would really take a toll on his eardrums.

The children seemed not to hear and continued playing.

The one in the blue T-shirt suddenly grabbed the teacup on the table and pretended to smash it on the ground.

Just as the bodyguard was about to step forward to stop him, Master Hong raised his hand to stop him, his eyes showing a hint of displeasure.

"Let her fall."

The teacup crashed to the ground with a clatter, shards scattering everywhere.

The child wasn't afraid at all; instead, he put his hands on his hips and made faces at Master Hong.

Hong Ye's face darkened.

Ordinary children would have been too scared to utter a sound at the sight of his imposing manner, but these little devils had taken the initiative and become the main characters.

"Didn't your uncle teach you any manners?" he asked coldly.

The girl in the pink dress suddenly spoke up, her voice crisp and clear: "Uncle said that bad people don't need to learn the rules."

These words are extremely hurtful, and even more so, insulting!
Hongye's fingers suddenly gripped the wheelchair armrests, his eyes turning cold.

"Who taught you to say that?"

"No one taught us; we figured it out ourselves."

Another child with pigtails tilted his head back, his face showing a calmness beyond his years. "You brought us here because you want to be bad guys, don't you?"

Hong Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

These children's reactions were highly unusual.

He was about to signal his bodyguards to restrain them when the man in the blue T-shirt suddenly pulled something out of his pocket and threw it on the ground. Smoke instantly filled the air, carrying a pungent smell.

"Cough cough!" The bodyguards coughed, choked by the fumes.

When the smoke cleared, the children were nowhere to be seen in the living room, only one window was still swaying.

Master Hong's face turned ashen. He slammed his hand on the armrest and shouted, "Chase them! Find them for me!"

Outside the villa, eight children were climbing over the wall, their movements as nimble as little monkeys.

The girl in the pink dress glanced back at the villa and pouted.

"Red Master isn't all that great either."

"Exactly! He claims to be a big shot in the underworld, but he's not even as good as a small-time hoodlum in China!"

"Stop talking nonsense, just follow Mr. Luo's directions." The girl with pigtails led the way, running ahead. "Uncle Chen is waiting for us up ahead."

Their figures quickly disappeared into the woods, leaving behind only a few still-smoking smoke bomb casings.

At Master Hong's villa, a bodyguard hurriedly reported, "Master Hong, we couldn't catch them. They seem to know the terrain here very well!"

Master Hong stared intently at the brocade box on the table, then suddenly swept it to the ground.

The jade pendant rolled out, gleaming with an unusual luster under the light.

"Wait... something's not right!"

The potion simulating dragon energy was fading, revealing the ordinary jade underneath.

At that moment, Master Hong understood everything.

"Luo Feng!"

He roared, his face contorted with rage, "I'll kill you!"

"Guards! Recruit someone! Bring Luo Feng here!"

In the monitoring room in the distance, Luo Feng looked at Hong Ye's furious expression on the screen and smiled faintly.

This underworld tyrant is about to meet his end today.

"Team Leader Chen, notify Boss Lei that we can begin."

"Yes."

Luo Feng picked up his phone, dialed Colin's number, and spoke calmly.

"Hongye has taken the bait and is currently at the resort. We are cutting off his funding, supply chain, and relationship chain as planned."

Colin responded on the other end of the phone, his voice filled with excitement.

"I've been prepared for a long time, just waiting for you to say that."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Feng looked out the window.

So what if he's a Red Master?
They were not afraid of the Shadow Council and Thanatos Lofeng, let alone a leader of an underground force like Oucheng.

The night in the city was still dark, and pedestrians hurried by.

No one knew that a major reshuffling was about to take place in the underground of Eurocity.

However, these things don't matter to ordinary people.

A life of routine, working the same job every day – that's what most people live; it's not as exciting as it seems.

"Mr. Luo, even if we take control of Master Hong, what are your plans next?"

Colin then asked a crucial question.

"With Master Hong gone, the underground of Ou City can't be left empty."

Luo Feng tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, his gaze falling on the surveillance footage of Boss Lei directing his men to surround and suppress the remnants of Master Hong's gang. His tone was as calm as if he were talking about the weather.

Colin frowned, his hand crumpling as he held the document, somewhat puzzled as to why.

“Support Boss Lei? He’s just a fence-sitter. He can turn against Master Hong today, and he can turn against you tomorrow.”

"A fence-sitter is the most useful."

Luo Feng raised his eyes, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"He has no power base, no ambition, his only weakness is his brother. If we have him in our hands, would he dare to make a move?"

Compared to Boss Lei, it's even less likely that the others will be supported; it would be like raising a tiger only to cause future trouble.

Colin was still uneasy and took a half step forward, saying, "But his reputation is too bad, and his subordinates may not be convinced."

"Why should those old hands who've been following Master Hong for over a decade listen to a traitor?"

"Besides, I think Boss Lei is brave but reckless. He's suitable to be a soldier charging into battle, but he's not suitable to take over such a big business from Master Hong."

Colin had his own reasons for thinking this way.

He knew a bit about Boss Lei, so he knew what kind of person he was.

"Dissatisfied?"

Luo Feng chuckled, "How about you look at this place?"

Actually, there was something else he didn't tell Colin: no matter who it was, including Boss Lei, these people were clearly just trying to make their lives better.

They are not incapable, they just lack an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities. Doesn't the leader have any ambition or desire to turn the tables and take control?

Now that Luo Feng is supporting his ambitions, he doesn't believe that Boss Lei can remain unmoved and act like a coward.

And on the screen now, there's the black-clad team behind Boss Lei.

Those were the men he had Team Leader Chen transfer there; each one of them was a skilled fighter capable of taking on ten men.

While Hong Ye's men also included some elite fighters, his numbers were too large, whereas Luo Feng's team consisted mostly of assassins, each one an elite among elites.

Although their numbers are not as large as those under Master Hong, their quality far surpasses that of others.

"The gun I give you is more effective than Red Boss's influence."

"With this idea, fists are the only true measure of power."

Colin opened his mouth, wanting to say something but swallowed it back. Looking at the certainty in Luo Feng's eyes, he suddenly realized that this man had planned this all along.

Hong Ye's influence is deeply entrenched; forcibly demolishing it would only result in bloodshed.

Boss Lei, who has worked his way up from the bottom, knows exactly how to appease those wolves.

"The risk is still too great," Colin said in a muffled voice. "What if he really rebels..."

"I think we need to prepare in advance, just in case."

"Nothing unexpected."

Luo Feng interrupted him, his expression resolute: "The only ones who can take over in Ou City are either members of the Shadow Council or Thanatos's dogs. Which one do you choose?"

Colin fell silent.

Both of these organizations are more difficult to deal with than Red Master.

"Boss Lei is the only option."

Luo Feng stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the lights in the distance.

"What I want is not an obedient puppet, but a target that can take a bullet for me."

"Once the new energy project is implemented, who will be in charge of the underground market in Oucheng? It will be up to me to decide."

Colin watched his retreating figure and suddenly felt that this man was even more terrifying than Red.

Hong Ye's ruthlessness is on full display, but Luo Feng's scheming is hidden in his smile.

"Row."

He finally nodded. "I'll make the arrangements right away. I'll have the finance department transfer some start-up capital to Boss Lei. It'll be a way to win him over."

Luo Feng didn't turn around, he just waved his hand.

On the monitor screen, Boss Lei was kicking open the door of Master Hong's villa, his face showing a complex expression of excitement and fear.

Luo Feng's smile deepened.

The pieces are in place; now it's time to see how big this game can go.

"How...how is it you?!"

When Boss Hong saw that the person who barged in was Boss Lei, a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Hong, how have you been?"

"From now on, it will be my turn to take care of you."

After settling things over with Master Hong, Boss Lei rushed off to Luo Feng's residence.

He chose an abandoned slaughterhouse on the outskirts of the city as his detention location. The walls were thick, the doors were heavy, and he was guarded by several of his most trusted brothers, so he was confident it would be foolproof. (End of Chapter)
