Chapter 1998: Chapter 481: Life and Death, Reaping What One Sows
Yue Songlan instinctively shrank back, while the man stood there smiling, showing no trace of panic or fear. Yue Songlan glanced at him, and for some inexplicable reason, his agitated heart suddenly calmed down.
Suddenly, a black shadow descended from the sky, legs twisted around the man’s neck, snatched the machine gun from the man’s hand, and kicked him violently away. His body rolled over and stopped at Yue Songlan’s feet, and Yue Songlan jumped in fright upon seeing the grotesque face.
The black shadow seized the machine gun and, as the group reacted to fire, the woman’s figure was airborne, long hair dancing in the wind, her machine gun aiming a barrage at the crowd.
All this happened in a split second, and by the time the group reacted, a wave of people had already fallen down.
The woman landed lightly on the ground, holding the machine gun against the wind.
Yue Yi’an and Yue Songlan were both shocked as they watched her. Was she human, given such strength?
Yue Songlan saw this familiar face and widened his eyes in disbelief.
His brother, Riche, had only ever been seen from afar, and he had never even spoken to him.
He wasn’t stupid, and he vaguely understood what was happening. This brother wanted him dead...
"You illegitimate child, I really regret not killing you back then." Riche roared and suddenly charged, reaching out his claws towards Yue Songlan. Yue Songlan stood there in a daze, watching the face enlarge in front of him, instinctively closing his eyes.
The anticipated pain did not come. Opening his eyes, he saw Riche’s neck being held by a large hand, and the man’s handsome face was as cold as ice and snow.
The man curled his lips wickedly and tossed Riche’s body away like a ragdoll, crashing heavily to the ground. Riche furrowed his brows, grunted, feeling as though his organs were about to explode.
A dagger was handed to his face, the blade shimmering with a cold light, piercing his eyes.
"Kill him." The man’s calm voice quietly echoed in his ear.
He instinctively stepped back, hands behind him, shaking his head.
No... that was his brother.
Even though he had no feelings for this brother, and even though he wanted to kill him, in the end... he was his brother.
The man dropped the dagger at his feet, calmly saying, "If you don’t kill him, then I will kill you."
Fear, like an invisible large hand, instantly gripped his throat.
Then kill me! He roared and shouted internally, but upon seeing the other’s deep, dark gaze, it seemed to possess some magical power, calming the inner turmoil in an instant.
While he hesitated, Riche continued to curse vilely, with countless toxic words stacked against his most revered mother. Suddenly, a surge of anger rose in him, and he involuntarily bent down, picked up the dagger, and gripped it tightly.
He looked up at Riche, the murderous intent in his eyes startling Riche. Yet more venomous curses followed tightly.
Yue Songlan walked step by step with the dagger, gritted his teeth, raised his hand...
Yue Yi’an averted his gaze, sighing softly in his heart.
Yun Miao smiled gently, eyes like a spring breeze.
The dagger was lifted high, then fiercely dropped down, the sharp blade piercing Riche’s chest, warm blood splattering out, spraying over Yue Songlan’s face. His eyes were filled with blood, and Riche’s hands tightened around his neck, exerting great force, as Yue Songlan gritted his teeth and plunged the blood-stained dagger into his chest again.
Riche’s eyes protruded, eventually unwillingly letting go, his body heavy as it crashed to the ground.
Yue Songlan’s eyes were blood-red as he mechanically stabbed the dagger into the bloody chest again. Yue Yi’an hurried over and grabbed the dagger from his hand, "Enough, he’s already dead."
Yue Songlan stared blankly at him, suddenly loosening his grip, the dagger clattered to the ground, and he threw himself into Yue Yi’an’s arms, wailing and crying.
Yue Yi’an looked at the man whose smile was like a spring breeze but suddenly felt his scalp tingle.
Yun Miao turned around and walked step by step toward the hall, his cold voice following: "Clean up this place and don’t let anyone escape."
"Yes." Mingyue flashed and disappeared into the darkness.
This night, the Mafia family that had dominated Europe for years experienced a bloody purge. After Arturo’s death, the ongoing struggle saw both Parker and Riche fall on this night. Both sides were leaderless, and with Arturo’s youngest son, Gan Luo, stepping into the spotlight, everyone adapted to the circumstances, bowing to Gavin, ultimately quelling the internal strife. Gan Luo ascended the Mafia leadership at ten years old, becoming the youngest ruler in the family history.
