Chapter 2302: Chapter 654: Mr. Yi, Going Home_5
Smith’s face reddened with anger, yet he lacked the ability to refute. His eyes darted around, and he decided to take a gamble.
"Anpei Lan is raising funds, intending to control the entire Country Bai!"
An Yiqing’s eyes flashed, "Control Country Bai? What does he want to do?"
"I’m not sure. I’ve been collaborating with him for a few years, and over these years, at least tens of billions, maybe even hundreds of billions, have flowed into his private account. Anpei Lan is moody and has deep scheming. He started implementing his plans years ago." Smith looked cautiously at An Yiqing, "Miss An, you see..."
An Yiqing refocused her thoughts, glanced at him, released her grip, and dropped him to the ground, then turned to leave.
Smith’s heart leaped with joy, and he immediately turned to run. As long as he could escape to Country Zi, he would have a chance to turn things around! An Yiqing, one day I will kill you with my own hands!
However...
Whoosh—a sharp, piercing sound accompanied by a flash of cold light penetrated the back of Smith’s head, halting his frantic steps, freezing the smile on his face. His eyes widened with shock and despair. Slowly, his tall body fell to the ground with a "bang," kicking up a cloud of dust.
The renowned international arms dealer Smith died with his eyes open.
An Yiqing withdrew her hand, glanced at Smith, and smiled. How could she allow such a dangerous enemy to live in this world?
With Smith dead, the world’s underground forces began to descend into chaos. Just as many were arguing over control of Smith’s empire, an unknown power, with lightning speed that took everyone by surprise, absorbed all of Smith’s assets. Some arms dealers were dissatisfied, planning to unite against this unknown force. However, before they could make any waves, they were all killed silently in their sleep.
On the same night, three renowned arms dealers were all killed in their sleep. Beside their bodies, a note was left, with a few bloody words written in international language—Oppose Mr. Yi, and death shall be the consequence!
In an instant, Mr. Yi’s name spread rapidly across the world’s underground. Many were speculating about who Mr. Yi actually was. Yet only a few at the top, after careful analysis, realized that Smith’s greatest enemy was An Yiqing, and when Smith died, An Yiqing was in the Black Horn Region. It was very likely that An Yiqing was Mr. Yi.
However, these were merely speculations, and the true reality of the situation, no one knew. As the successor to Smith, Mr. Yi became a rising star in the nation’s arms industry.
At the Doufei Headquarters, An Yiqing sat in Arhan’s tent, drinking and laughing with Arhan and the newly arrived Peng Shaohe.
"Outside, they say Mr. Yi killed three famous arms dealers overnight, not only took over Smith’s power but also absorbed all of those three arms dealers’ powers, which is truly ruthless. Xiao Qing, your tactic to knock the mountain and shake the tiger is impressive." Peng Shaohe smiled as he looked at An Yiqing, after months apart, the young girl had grown into a beauty capable of captivating cities.
"Grandpa Peng is too kind, I’m just trying to make a living." An Yiqing replied modestly.
Arhan heard and was puzzled, what did ’knock the mountain and shake the tiger’ mean? What did it have to do with them?
"Uncle Arhan, you’ve worked hard these days. I toast to you, and in the future, the matters in the Black Horn Region will still need your attention." An Yiqing raised her glass, smiling as she spoke.
Arhan set aside his curiosity about knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, raised his glass, "We are all family, and this time it’s thanks to you that I’ve been able to achieve my dreams of many years!" He sighed, finally, the leading force in the Black Horn Region was his! In the future, he could implement the plans he had devised over many years, and no one would ever force-feed toxins to him like his siblings anymore!
An Yiqing knew Arhan was thinking about his mother and siblings again and fell silent. She pondered for a moment and carefully chose her words, "Uncle Arhan, the dead cannot come back to life, and we who are alive still have to look forward. The Black Horn Region is now yours, and I hope you can turn it into a kind of paradise."
Arhan wiped his face and nodded, "Rest assured, I won’t let you or Elder Peng down. The Black Horn Region is a place of sin, I can’t make it disappear, but at least I can make life better for its innocent people."
"Good," An Yiqing smiled, raising her glass, "To make life better for everyone, let’s drink, Grandpa Peng, Uncle Arhan!"
