799: Chapter 799: Becoming the Boss 799: Chapter 799: Becoming the Boss In the quiet depth of the night, on the chilly empty streets, a woman with a mask and a hat is strolling, her hands tucked in her pockets.
She walks at a leisurely pace, seemingly unconcerned about her surroundings.
In some foreign cities, the crime rate is high, and many people, especially women, would not dare to venture out at midnight for fear of uninvited attention from miscreants.
A few men drinking and chatting on the sidewalk, see a woman with a graceful figure passing by.
Unable to resist, they hilariously follow her with clear sinister intentions.
The woman appears to sense something, but she does not panic or quicken her steps.
Instead, she turns into a dark alley.
Seeing this, the men excitedly quicken their pace and soon catch up with her in the dim alley.
“Hey, beauty, why the rush?” one man remarked while throwing his arm around the woman’s shoulder, his laughter brimming with wickedness.
With a swift shift of her shoulder, the woman moves away from the unscrupulous man.
The other men block her path forward, circling her, “Sweetheart, it’s so late.
How about we have a drink together?”
Ignoring them, she carries on walking, manifesting her disinterest.
One of the men, unaware of his annoying persistence, blocks her way with his hand on the wall and chuckles, “Babe, we mean well.
Let’s just be friends.
Doing this for your good.”
“Doing it for my good?
Alright!” she snapped back, a slap landing on the man’s face.
“Bitch, you’ll pay for this!” another man growled, pulling out a gun and pushing it against the woman’s head.
Unfazed, the woman coldly warned, “Put your guns away and I’ll let this go.
Otherwise, you’ll regret it.”
“What a joke!” one man scoffed, reaching out to remove her mask.
The woman unceremoniously slapped that man’s face for the second time, leaving both his cheeks inflamed.
“Well, I prefer you guys not surrendering.
Otherwise, there won’t be any fun in robbing you.” She barely finished her sentence when the man, who was slapped twice, lost his temper again and moved to retaliate.
Suddenly, the men felt a constriction in their throats as if they are being choked by an invisible force.
They toppling one after another before the woman.
“Well, do you find me attractive?” Qian Ye removed her mask and displayed a cold smirk.
“I won’t take your lives, but you must serve me.
Obey my every command, or else…”
Amid great pain and fear, the group of men nodded in submission.
Qian Ye released her hold on their breath, allowing them to gulp down large breathfuls of air and stagger to their feet.
“I didn’t permit you to stand.
Who allowed you to stand?” Qian Ye’s commanding aura put the men in a daze.
Although startled, not one kneeled back down.
Left with no choice, Qian Ye had to cast her spell again, forcing the men to endure severe pain, their throats as if to snap, and they quickly fell to their knees.
“Remember to behave next time.” Again, Qian Ye released her supernatural power, looking down at the men who were trembling in terror.
Without her permission, they dared not raise their heads, much less leave their kneeling positions.
“Listen up.
I need a place to stay, some money, and people to work for me.” Her words were full of authority as she scanned the men who had just submitted to her.
Although they were nothing more than petty underlings, they were all she had at the time.
After some inquiries, Qian Ye learned that the men were not just ordinary street thugs, but members of a small syndicate.
The gang’s boss controlled a few territories and had a decent income, and a suitable place for her to stay met her requirements.
She was quite satisfied with this.
She was planning to make a big move in this era, envisioning the establishment of her empire, all beginning with the submission of this gang.
More than that, Qian Ye learned that the city hosted over fifty gangs, each having its territory.
Fights would regularly break out in their competition for territories.
“Very well, this sounds fun.” Back when Qian Ye was queen, she led countless conquests to expand her domain.
So, this was a game she was familiar with.
When Qian Ye instructed the underlings to lead the way, they trembled with fear.
They feared the wrath of their gang boss.
If they caused him trouble with Qian Ye, they couldn’t begin to fathom the consequences they and their families would face.
Even after Qian Ye explained her intentions once more, they still were too scared to act.
This made Qian Ye lose her patience.
“I know what you’re afraid of.
Let me tell you, after tonight, your boss won’t be a boss anymore, and his territories will be mine.
I will reward those who serve me well.
You will have more: houses, money, anything you want.”
After hearing this, the underlings were tempted.
However, remembering their boss’s cruel ways, they were still apprehensive.
Qian Ye was not amused.
“Let me remind you of something.
You serve me now.
I will not tolerate the disobedient.
If you can’t do anything for me, there is no reason for me to keep you around.”
One of the underlings quickly begged for mercy.
“Master, please give us another chance.
We will lead the way right now.”
“That’s better.
I need obedient servants.” A satisfied grin appeared on Qian Ye’s face.
Once one stepped up, the others followed suit.
Each pledged their loyalty to Qian Ye, promising to fight on the front lines in capturing territories, and willingly do anything she asked.
Even though Qian Ye seemed satisfied, she secretly detested these underlings for their disloyalty.
If they could betray their old boss to survive today, they could betray her tomorrow.
Once disloyal, always untrustworthy.
Qian Ye decided to use them first, waiting until her ranks were strong enough before getting rid of these ingratiates.
However, Qian Ye got too busy later and completely forgot about them.
Little did she know that these underlings would indeed betray her.
