Chapter 632 630: The Sect Leader's Scheme
"Hehe, that's not necessarily true. Masters of the underground world emerge endlessly; just because you haven't met them doesn't mean they don't exist!" Huo Yanggen chuckled."Sect Leader, considering our current strength, why don't we simply clean up our house, reclaim the power of the Four Great Hall Masters, as their power rightfully belongs to you? This would greatly benefit our Heaven and Earth Society's growth, and those four old folks are idle and don't do any honest work, yet they are enjoying the benefits of our Heaven and Earth Society!" said Golden Monkey.
"Let's not move against them for now. The Four Great Hall Masters are still beneficial to Heaven and Earth Society, consider them as the dogs we spend money to guard our door. Without them, our society's power would fall by a notch. Of course, when the time is right, the Four Great Hall Masters will surely be removed by me!"
"Why not deal with them now?"
"You're underestimating those four old guys. It's not that I don't want to move against them; I just can't. Even if we remove them, it would cause significant internal consumption for our society, reducing our power by at least half. The cost is too high, so I won't act until the time is right!" Huo Yanggen said.
Golden Monkey nodded, "So that's how it is. Sect Leader, you're really thorough in your thinking!"
"To know your enemy and know yourself is to win every battle. I not only want to eliminate the four old guys but do so at the least expense!" Huo Yanggen said.
As Huo Yanggen spoke, he looked at the chief steward Huo Zhong who had just handed him a towel, "Huo Zhong, I asked you to find out the recent situation of the four Hall Masters, is there anything new?"
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, there's new development on Yang Litong's side!"
"What kind of development?" Huo Yanggen wiped his forehead and looked at the chief steward Huo Zhong inquisitively.
"Yang Litong's entertainment club got smashed!"
Huo Yanggen's eyes flickered, "Who did it?"
"Flying Dragon Sect's Lin Mu."
"Him again?" Huo Yanggen was surprised, "This Lin Mu has really been making waves recently! He's even intruding on our Heaven and Earth Society; tell me what exactly happened?"
"According to the informant's report, Yang Litong's grandson Yang Bujie was crippled by Lin Mu of Flying Dragon Sect. Last night, Yang Litong took his people to Lin Mu's house and fought fiercely, but didn't get any good results. Yang Litong wasted over twenty of his followers for nothing, and by noon today, Lin Mu's men smashed the Litong Entertainment Club." Huo Zhong explained the situation thoroughly.
After listening, Huo Yanggen chuckled, "It's quite interesting; Yang Litong actually decided to oppose Lin Mu."
"Sect Leader, do you think we should..."
"Let them stir things up for a while, we'll pretend we don't know. Let them exhaust themselves; as long as it's not targeting our Heaven and Earth Society, let's stay silent for now!" Huo Yanggen said.
Being a smart man, Huo Yanggen naturally wouldn't interfere in this situation. The Litong Entertainment Club isn't under Heaven and Earth Society's jurisdiction; he certainly wouldn't bother with it! Moreover, Lin Mu's power is formidable; using him to hit Yang Litong, that old crook, is also a good thing, relieving some pent-up frustration!
Of course, if the conflict escalates into a blood battle, it would be a perfect opportunity to eliminate all the power of the four old guys without any effort at all. Why not take advantage?
He knew that the four old guys had been together since their youth, for over half a lifetime, and they had great relations; if one of them got in trouble, the others wouldn't sit and watch! Although their power is vast, they may not be a match for Lin Mu! Lin Mu's strength is something Huo Yanggen understands well, even if others don't; the four old guys can't cope with him. If they fall, and his grandfather, that enigmatic Old Lin comes out, it would be a catastrophe for Wancheng's underground world!
If it were not for being forced to fight Lin Mu, Huo Yanggen would rather remain neutral; no one wants to provoke this fierce wolf, Lin Mu! Of course, if a battle with Lin Mu becomes inevitable someday, Huo Yanggen won't be afraid. That's why he's diligent in training! Only by being powerful himself can he avoid submitting to opponents, even if they are the legendary North African Wolf Fang Special Forces!
"Sect Leader, considering Yang Litong's significant loss, might he seek our help? If he seeks us, being part of our society, we can't ignore him, could lead to rumors!" Golden Monkey said.
"Hehe, Yang Litong won't seek my help unless it's absolutely necessary. Don't forget, Yang Litong is the Grand Hall Master of Heaven and Earth Society, so what's most important to him? Of course, it's his reputation; how could he lower himself to ask me for help? When looking for help, he'd surely first seek those three old guys!" Huo Yanggen analyzed.
"If that's the case, if the four old guys unite, could Lin Mu be their match?"
"Hehe, you're underestimating Lin Mu. The three heroes of Wancheng, Han Si Hai and Chen Shiwei, were all taken out by Lin Mu single-handedly. Do you think Han Si Hai and Chen Shiwei are strong? Yet weren't they both eliminated by Lin Mu?"
"That's true. If those four old men can't deal with Lin Mu, won't they eventually have to seek our help?"
Huo Yanggen smiled, "If they come looking for us, it would be when they are in dire straits. By then, whatever I desire, those four old guys would have to abide by my terms, not like the present situation at all!"
Golden Monkey nodded, feeling much clearer after Huo Yanggen's explanation!
"Golden Monkey, how's business on your side recently?" Huo Yanggen changed the topic.
"Reporting to Sect Leader, business is fairly smooth, but the Dark Night Sect has been relentlessly bothering us, ruining several major deals!"
"Dark Night Sect? Just a group of women, not much to fear. Find an opportunity to take them all out!"
"I've wanted to eliminate them for a long time, but this group of women never settles down and are adept at disguise, making it hard to find them!" Golden Monkey said helplessly.
"Then let them remain in the dark, but whenever one surfaces, we'll take them down!"
"Understood, Subordinate acknowledges!" Golden Monkey nodded.
That night, Lin Mu and the Chief Police Officer returned to her parents' house together. It was agreed with Su Jinzhi to discuss their marriage. For Lin Mu, this was truly an annoying task. Before heading to their house, Lin Mu bought some gifts. Although the Qi Family was a prominent official family with considerable wealth, Huaxia has always valued etiquette, where a little gift conveys great intentions, at least showing thoughtfulness.
The car stopped at the entrance of the Lin Family mansion. The Chief Police Officer gave a reminder, "Big scoundrel, remember to speak properly with my mom, okay?"
"Hehe, trust my process, it'll be flawless!" Lin Mu said.
"Alright, let's go in."
"Yes, alright!"
Lin Mu and the Chief Police Officer got out of the car carrying the gifts and walked into the Qi Family's yard. Then, they knocked on the door, and it was opened by Su Jinzhi, who immediately smiled upon seeing Lin Mu. Though she was slightly older, her charm remained; her graceful demeanor was still so captivating, but Lin Mu dared not stare too long, as she was his future mother-in-law!
