Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny

Chapter 1448 733: What You Love... (3)

"Let it go."

Ji Jue shook his head. If he asks Lv Yingyue, who can Lv Yingyue ask?

Even if someone is asked, what can they find out?

Asking might just complicate things.

The best option is not to ask. Not asking means not knowing, not understanding. As long as you don't know, it's just a child's play without comprehension.

So, Ji Jue didn't continue with the topic.

Worrying does no good, do your own thing first, deal with it later!

The dinner was a celebration banquet to welcome the Lou Family, formal, standard, and warm, yet also a farewell. Lou Yanyue, Lou Zhaoye, and Lou Yuling, three reliable and reassuring high-end combat forces, left right after eating.

Only Lou Feng, with his disgruntled expression, remained, continuing to work tirelessly in Ji Jue's exploitative workshop and shell company.

It was also a gesture.

From now on, everything in Luo Island and even the Seven Cities would be centered around Ji Jue.

After dinner, after seeing the three off, Ji Jue turned back with a smile and looked at Seno, who was nervously standing outside the door.

"As ordered."

Seno bowed his head, "Everything is ready, but... might it be... a bit..."

He wiped the cold sweat and asked:

"...too hasty?"

"I am in no rush. Taking it slow is fine."

Ji Jue smiled warmly, "After all, the Sujano Family has been rooted here for so many years. It's understandable that it's hard to leave one's homeland. With such a big family business, you need careful arrangements. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, what a mess it would be."

"No, absolutely not!"

Seno's legs shook, sweating profusely, "Matters of Luo Island are all up to you. We're following your arrangements! How could we have any say?"

"That's great."

Ji Jue patted his shoulder and walked ahead.

Inside the ancestral home of the Sujano Family, it was brightly lit, yet dead silent. Apart from occasional sobs, all that was left was the clanking of exoskeleton armor moving.

A desolate and murderous scene.

The final handover, or rather the final judgment, began.

"Everyone relax, don't be nervous. After all, there's a contract. I'm not someone who would annihilate, leaving no path for survival, right?"

Ji Jue, with his hands behind his back, walked past the gathered members of the Sujano Family and sat in front of the hall, on the chair of ruling power, warmly reassuring those tense and pale faces.

Then, he took out a signed list and handed it to Liang Mo, who had been waiting for some time.

"Those on this list, kill them."

Liang Mo nodded, confirmed the names, then picked up the walkie-talkie. Suddenly, in the midst of dead silence, a series of firecracker sounds burst from outside the door.

The startling sounds echoed continuously, stopping abruptly.

In less than two minutes, all those who procrastinated during the handover, harbored ill intent, or even attempted riots and disturbances were thrown into the sea with a splash.

No remains were left.

In the dense crowd, the pallor of countless faces grew, with some even fainting.

A family line spanning centuries, with countless descendants, now qualified to register under the Sujano surname numbered in the thousands, and those with blood relations, tens of thousands?

Now, truly as the backbone and core of the family, those standing here were several hundred.

The larger the group, the harder it is to control.

Even with Seno as the resolute clan leader, isn't it human nature to cling to wealth and power? To truly have everyone abandon everything and follow him forsaking homeland, is there really no resistance?

Those who died outside were almost all of the Sujano Family's most trusted confidants and effective lackeys, indispensable for anyone wishing to take over Luo Island.

Everyone thought there would be some tug-of-war with Ji Jue, ultimately reaching an acceptable balance. Yet, it turned out that Ji Jue didn't want balance at all.

He didn't even want to keep these insects around…

So, those who obediently stepped down were merely put under supervision, while those who, despite warnings, held onto luck were swiftly sent to the afterlife.

No matter who they were—high-ranking department officials, company executives, or heads of security and traffic management—died like street dogs.

In the long silence, no one dared to speak, and some even blacked out and fainted.

In this oppressive silence, there came a gentle sigh from the very front.

"Clan leader Seno perhaps misunderstood my intentions, leading to some execution errors."

Ji Jue sighed with regret, "No one wants such an incident.

It is normal to feel attached to one's homeland. The dealings between me and the Sujano Family were fair, with a contract as guarantee. If not for the Sujano Family severing ties with the Seven Cities itself, I wouldn't want to seize their ancestral roots.

But everyone must understand, to leave these things behind now would only bring turmoil. Letting the other six families know would only harm you!"

"Indeed, indeed."

Seno fervently nodded, forcing a smile, echoed by a chorus of agreement. Countless others were already in tears, seemingly repentant.

Their true thoughts aside, sometimes it's best to bow to circumstance; it's no shame to lower one's head when needed.
