Chapter 783 800: Incorporating the Heaven and Earth Society
"Hehe, don't worry, Boss Lin. Since I've promised to hand over the major power of the Heaven and Earth Society to you, I definitely won't have any other thoughts!" Huo Yanggen assured."Thank you for your cooperation, Sect Leader Huo!" Lin Mu smiled. Of course, merely talking about gaining the major power of the Heaven and Earth Society is not enough. The least trustworthy thing is words coming out of a person's mouth, so Lin Mu must take action. "Sect Leader Huo, in that case, you won't have any objections if I make some arrangements regarding major matters within the sect?"
"Boss Lin, please make arrangements as you see fit!" Huo Yanggen replied.
"Alright then. In that case, I plan to establish three halls in the Heaven and Earth Society: the Tiger Hall, Leopard Hall, and Wolf Hall, and let my three brothers serve as the hall masters of the three halls. However, these three hall masters will hold positions above the Golden Monkey Division, Silver Snake Division, and Copper Lion Division. Do you have any issues with this arrangement?" Lin Mu asked, pointing to the Fierce Beast Brothers.
One should be cautious of others, but not harbor ill intentions. Although Huo Yanggen agreed, Lin Mu had to do what was necessary. Of course, it wasn't a lack of trust in Huo Yanggen; it was merely a universal survival rule of the jungle!
A person without any sense of rules, driven solely by emotion, simply cannot survive in this society, where the weak are preyed upon by the strong! Rules are rules, and regulations are regulations. A person must have emotions but cannot be swayed by them! As the Alpha Wolf of the Wolf Fang Special Forces, Lin Mu was well-versed in this survival rule, organizing everything in a well-ordered and reasonable manner!
Huo Yanggen was a smart person, naturally understanding Lin Mu's intentions! Since he'd agreed to Lin Mu's request, Huo Yanggen would definitely show his sincerity!
To put it bluntly, there were no personal feelings between them before, so Lin Mu's actions were not meant to hurt personal feelings!
"Hehe, I have no objections to Boss Lin's arrangement!" Huo Yanggen nodded.
Lin Mu smiled, "In that case, we'll meet again later!"
"See you!" Huo Yanggen smiled.
Lin Mu waved his hand and, along with Earth Wolf, returned to the car!
"Boss, do you think that old fox Huo Yanggen will truly submit to us?" Earth Wolf asked, sitting in the car.
Not only did Earth Wolf have doubts about this, but the Fierce Beast Brothers had questions as well!
Let's not forget, Huo Yanggen is an old fox. Just giving his life work to others, although not exactly giving, but transferring major power to others, it's still quite unsettling!
"Hehe, I'm not sure about that either. It depends on Huo Yanggen's own choice. After all, we've taken care of Chekov, leaving just Huo Yanggen without much power. It'd be easy to deal with him. Of course, it depends on whether Huo Yanggen is sincere or not. I have another matter that will test him; if he explains it truthfully, it means he is willing to hand over the major power of the Heaven and Earth Society to me. If he does not voluntarily explain, it means he has second thoughts, and it won't be too late to resolve him then. Huo Yanggen isn't foolish; he knows I still have doubts about him, so he'll make a smart choice!" Lin Mu analyzed simply.
Earth Wolf nodded, "I have to say, the power of the Heaven and Earth Society is indeed formidable. If we can gain control over it, it would definitely be advantageous for us. Even if we don't utilize the power of the Heaven and Earth Society, just not having them as opposition is beneficial for our development. But I'm still afraid Huo Yanggen won't be satisfied with being used by us!"
"In the underworld, it's all about strength. Our Flying Dragon Sect talks with strength, if he's dissatisfied there's nothing he can do. Anyway, the Heaven and Earth Society is a rare, powerful gang. If we reform it and change its essence, it would be a good choice for our strength growth!" Lin Mu said.
"Boss, what do you plan to use to test Huo Yanggen?" Earth Wolf asked again.
"Hehe, that's a secret..." Lin Mu smiled, his mouth curving into an enigmatic smile on his charming face.
Early the next morning, Lin Mu, as usual, accompanied Qi Manlin for a morning run to the mountain, then taught Qi Manlin martial arts!
"How did the operation go last night?" Qi Manlin asked as she ran. Since Lin Mu came back late yesterday, she hadn't asked about last night's events, so she asked about the situation first thing in the morning.
"Everything's settled. The person in charge of the Tsar Organization was taken out!" Lin Mu said.
"The person in charge of the Tsar Organization was killed? Why not arrest him and take him to the police for interrogation?" Qi Manlin asked.
"Sis, Chekov was Russian. You have no idea how troublesome it is to use Huaxia's laws to judge a foreigner, right? Even if he were convicted, it's uncertain if he could be sent back home; the question of whether we could detain him would remain. What's more, Chekov didn't have anything notable to question. He was just a member of the Tsar Organization, a representative for transactions here without much value. Rather than going through all that trouble, getting rid of him was more straightforward!" Lin Mu explained.
Qi Manlin nodded, "Hmm, that's true. And what about Huo Yanggen?"
"I let him go!"
"Let him go? Why?" Qi Manlin asked, puzzled.
"Hehe, the Heaven and Earth Society is powerful, I want to claim it for my own. So I'll first find a way to hollow out the Heaven and Earth Society. On the surface, Huo Yanggen will still be the sect leader, but the power of life and death will be in my hands. Beneath Huo Yanggen, I'll establish the Fierce Beast Brothers as hall masters. Then, as the next step, I'll transfer Huo Yanggen's trusted subordinates out of their original positions, and bring in brothers from the Flying Dragon Sect to take over. This way, he'll become just a figurehead, without any real power!" Lin Mu said with a smile.
"What? Huo Yanggen, that old fox, will agree to this? That's his life's work?" Qi Manlin was a bit shocked, clearly not expecting Lin Mu to do this, and even more surprised that Huo Yanggen would agree—it was simply unimaginable!
"Whether he agrees or not isn't up to him. Precisely because that's Huo Yanggen's life's work, he has to agree, otherwise, not only him, but the entire Heaven and Earth Society would be finished. He believes we Flying Dragon have the strength to destroy him anytime. Instead of ending up with nothing, possibly risking his life, it's better to survive even if living by enduring. Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Society officially remains under the Huo family. For Huo Yanggen, it's the best option!" Lin Mu explained.
"True, having something is better than having nothing at all. But I feel that Huo Yanggen won't be satisfied. If one day he bides his time and, when the time is right, bites back at you, what then?" Qi Manlin asked worriedly.
"Hehe, I'm not worried about that. Huo Yanggen isn't an idiot, so I don't think he'd do something so foolish. Especially knowing that his opponent is as smart and great as me, it'd scare him senseless to even think of resisting. If he chooses to resist, he only has one path—death!" Lin Mu laughed.
