188: Chapter 188: Make Him Go Bankrupt 188: Chapter 188: Make Him Go Bankrupt Upon hearing that Lord Black Dragon would personally take action to kill Wang Yan, Snake Soul was overjoyed.
Even though he had been frightened just moments before, he felt it was worth it.
At this moment, Black Dragon suddenly spotted Xiahou Que behind Snake Soul, his eyes lit up as he asked, “Who is he?”
Snake Soul quickly responded, “My lord, this person is Xiahou Xin’s son, named Xiahou Que, driven mad by Wang Yan.
He’s already a lunatic and harbors deep hatred for Wang Yan, so I initially intended to ask for Lord Black Dragon’s permission to throw him into the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave to endure the torment of being devoured by the snakes, to see if he could awaken the Mad Pattern.
If he can awaken the Demon Pattern, Wang Yan would have yet another enemy.
However, Black Dragon didn’t take Snake Soul’s words seriously.
He continued to gaze at Xiahou Que with increasing interest in his eyes, nodding as he said, “This person has a sinister and vicious heart that suits my temperament perfectly, and harbors enormous hatred against Wang Yan.
If it transforms, this hatred will become the Power of Demon Patterns.
If he can awaken the Demon Pattern, he will directly surpass the Demon Warrior to reach the level of Demon Master.
Gahaha, this child is definitely a talent among thousands.
Snake Soul, you’ve made a contribution.”
Upon hearing Black Dragon say that Xiahou Que could directly break through to become a Demon Master, Snake Soul felt deeply disappointed.
He had struggled painstakingly to finally break through to become a Demon Master, yet Xiahou Que could reach that level so easily.
Therefore, despite Black Dragon’s praise, Snake Soul did not feel any joy, but rather a sour sense of jealousy.
At this moment, Black Dragon stood up from his chair and said, “Follow me to the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave.”
Everyone immediately followed Black Dragon, leaving the ancient castle and walking towards the back of the castle.
The group passed through a dense Black Pine Forest and arrived at its depths.
In the Black Pine Forest, there was a bottomless cave, from which an icy and dark aura faintly emanated.
At the sight of this cave, Snake Soul couldn’t help shivering.
Because it was here, back when he was a mortal, that he had been thrown into this cave, ultimately enduring the devouring of ten thousand snakes, and eventually managed to awaken the Demon Pattern.
Although he ultimately gained the power of the Demon Pattern Divine Technique, the pain he suffered back then was something Snake Soul would never forget for the rest of his life.
Standing at the edge of the cave, Black Dragon turned back, grabbed the dazed Xiahou Que, took a step forward, and flew with Xiahou Que into the bottomless cave.
Not long after, a scream of agony from Xiahou Que echoed from deep within the cave: “Ah–help–no–Wang Yan–I will make you die–”
Gangzhe Group.
Li Zhe sat in the spacious office, with all the mid-level managers of the group standing in front of him, each looking at Li Zhe with fear on their faces.
Li Zhe was extremely pleased.
This look of fear was usually what they reserved for Li Gang, but ever since Mr.
Li mysteriously died in the office, and all seven major directors collectively fell silent, everyone in the group sensed something unusual.
Although the police investigation concluded that Mr.
Li died of a heart attack.
Everyone believed that it was not that simple and that Mr.
Li’s death was certainly related to Li Zhe.
So they no longer dared to ridicule Li Zhe and all became extremely obedient.
No one wanted to be the next Mr.
Li.
Li Zhe did not expect that Mr.
Li’s death would bring him so many benefits, but he also remembered the advice from the man in the black cloak.
Li Zhe addressed the people in front of him, “The first thing I want done since taking office is for you to investigate a group on Eight Great Street with a boss named Wang Yan.
What’s their name, and what do they do?”
Upon hearing that Li Zhe wanted to investigate a group on Eight Great Street right away, although none of them dared show it on their faces, nearly everyone felt contempt for Li Zhe.
Gangzhe Group was considered one of the notable groups in Wanghai City, so their competition should be the Four Great Clans.
Yet, targeting a small, unremarkable group showed Li Zhe’s shortsightedness.
Despite their disdain, they honestly went down to investigate.
Half a day later, a detailed report was placed on Li Zhe’s desk.
Li Zhe picked up the document, and after just reading two pages, he threw it onto the table and began laughing loudly.
He laughed, patted the table, and laughed so hard that he rocked back and forth, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.
The mid-level managers standing before Li Zhe shook their heads privately.
After a while, Li Zhe finally ceased laughing.
He pointed at the document on the table, saying, “They are actually selling medicine.
This kid is actually selling medicine!
Had I known this earlier, I wouldn’t have waited until today to take revenge.
In all of Wanghai City, all those selling medicine must be under Gangzhe Group’s control.
Heh, this kid’s death is near.
Starting today, Gangzhe Group’s foremost objective is to bankrupt this tiny Peak Company within three days.
I want Wang Yan to crawl into Gangzhe Group on his knees in three days to beg me.”
Upon hearing this, someone standing before Li Zhe said, “General Manager Li, although this Peak Group is small, they’re not simple.
Their medicine…”
Before the person could finish, Li Zhe slammed the table, glaring fiercely and said, “What, you’re speaking for them, are you an informant for the Peak Group?”
This person meant to offer Li Zhe advice, but was immediately branded as a traitor, causing him to close his mouth.
The others coldly laughed, remaining silent.
Seeing everyone silent, Li Zhe thought they were frightened of him, and smugly leaned back against his chair, asking, “Who will take charge of this matter?”
However, everyone present lowered their heads, and no one responded.
Li Zhe became furious, cursing, “A bunch of idiots, when it’s time to use you, none of you step up.”
But regardless of how much Li Zhe scolded, no one complied with him.
At this time, a woman standing at the back stepped forward, saying, “General Manager Li, I’m willing to solve this problem for you.”
The woman appeared to be in her twenties, dressed in a sheer, transparent pink short skirt, exposing her smooth, long legs, with slender high heels on her feet, and her toes painted a striking blue.
She wore a very low-cut top, revealing a deep cleavage.
Seeing the woman, those present looked at her with disdain and made excuses to leave Li Zhe’s office.
This was because the woman had a terrible reputation, being two-faced and cunning, which made her very unpopular.
But when Li Zhe saw the woman’s provocative attire, his eyes lit up with a lustful glow.
“And you are…” Li Zhe didn’t even know the woman’s name.
The woman wiggled her hips, swaying her way over to Li Zhe, leaned slightly, exuding a faint aroma, and said to Li Zhe, “General Manager Li, my name is Zhao Xinyao.”
As Zhao Xinyao leaned down, Li Zhe peered through her broad neckline, seeing a large, white expanse.
Li Zhe widened his eyes, feeling a wetness in his nostrils, causing two streams of nosebleed to flow instantly.
Zhao Xinyao smiled slightly, extending her fingers painted blue, lightly wiping away Li Zhe’s nosebleed.
But as she was about to straighten her body, she pretended to slip, lunging forward and falling onto Li Zhe.
Li Zhe felt a large, soft object press against his face, making it almost impossible to breathe.
