Free Web NovelChapter 1025: Chapter 793: Update
When Lin Nineteen snapped back to reality, he had already signed the documents and made a pledge, promising to complete the mission.
Then he was pushed into the Huaizhi Gang, along with the task of raising Ravens.
But these were just tasks given by the teacher.
Whenever he thought about it like this, it felt as though even being used as a tool was a blessing.
Isn’t it quite nice!
In Huai Shi’s plan, the Alliance could no longer continue to exist.
Since they’ve returned under the sunlight, the ways of surviving in the dark must be discarded. The order in the Tanbo Inner Circle must be re-established; not only the Alliance, but the Huaizhi Gang will inevitably reorganize to fully focus on legal industries in the future.
However, such a large Alliance couldn’t be dissolved overnight, otherwise the uncontrolled extremists might cause a lot of trouble.
Therefore, during this crucial transition period, someone must replace Huai Shi to take on the great responsibility, to personally implement his will and orders.
Yes, that person was Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yuan only felt a mountain of pressure about this.
As the future backbone of the family, at this age, they should have started managing some of the family industries, but she and Lin Nineteen were both currently missing classes in the Ivory Tower.
Yet they never expected that the teacher would be so fierce and so absurd in making up for the classes, casually tossing over such a big endeavor like the Alliance.
Although in name they were assistants and secretaries, in reality, it was almost like free-range rearing.
Not even as tools could things be this outrageous.
How does it count as achieving things step by step?
Even with the authority established by Huai Shi ahead and the assistance from the family, she was still nervous, walking on thin ice, afraid of accidentally causing a mess.
Fortunately, she was responsible for the integration of the Alliance’s visible industries.
As for those involving violence and illegality, all of it was Little Nineteen’s work. Such an extensive experience package shouldn’t be cheapened for outsiders, should it?
After all, being a member of the Lin family, even if pulling strings, definitely stronger than any others. Not to mention, Little Nineteen’s talent was outstanding even within the Lin family.
Moreover, there were connections unmatched by anything else...
Just like now.
At the port in the afternoon, the distant sound of ship engines came rumbling.
A shabby fishing boat slowly docked at the pier, and the person at the bow took a glance before picking up the walkie-talkie to speak.
Soon, a chubby man wearing a silk robe ran out from inside, smiling warmly.
"Young Master Nineteen, oh my, how could I trouble you to come personally." He stepped on the gangplank, jumped up, and said enthusiastically, "For such matters, if you just say the word, we would deliver directly."
"When the teacher has spoken, as a mere errand runner, how could I dare compromise?"
Lin Nineteen shook his head, "Where are the people?"
"All packed up."
The man beckoned behind him, and immediately, within the opened cabin, there were two massive barrels of gasoline slowly rolling out. They rolled down the gangplank onto the pier, bumping against the concrete block, the lids fell off, exposing the curled figures inside.
Inside, a naked, emaciated man painfully raised his eyes, panting.
In the other barrel, a Russian Federation man kept struggling, a fierce look in his eyes.
"After Young Master Nineteen spoke, Uncle Liu mobilized all the men these days."
The chubby man smiled, "One hiding in Tsushima, and another fled to the four northern islands... Please check, Ozaki Mitsuharu of the Iron King Party, and Yevgeny of the K-word Party, delivered as requested, all limbs intact."
"No need to check, Uncle Liu has always been reliable."
Lin Nineteen didn’t bother looking; he simply nodded and said: "Mr. Wu, do thank Uncle Liu for me."
Mr. Wu shook his head with a smile, affectionately grasping his hand, and spoke sincerely: "What are you saying? Uncle Liu mentioned that Young Master Nineteen is promising; the whole family is delighted!
In the future, the Triad’s business will need more of your support, don’t you think?"
"Only a young novice, how can I support?" Lin Nineteen continued to smile modestly, "With someone as powerful as Uncle Liu, I am dispensable."
Mr. Wu, hearing this, smiled even more warmly, "It’s family matters, we help each other."
"As a working student, how am I to act on behalf of my teacher."
The Wood Cottage replied, "If Uncle Liu has a hopeful intention, before the teacher, I will certainly speak highly of him."
"Then, I will trouble Young Master Nineteen."
Mr. Wu nodded respectfully in farewell, but Lin Nineteen didn’t release his grip, merely smiled while looking at him.
The chubby man’s actions froze for a moment, intending to speak, when he saw behind Lin Nineteen, a box being handed over.
"A little supplement brought back from the Ivory Tower for Uncle."
The Wood Cottage personally placed the box into his hand, patting his back, "Though not much, a light token with heavy sentiment, let’s hope he does not mind."
Even through the box, one could smell the alchemy coating on the Source Crystal.
After weighing with one hand, Mr. Wu’s smile instantly became more joyful, "Don’t worry, Young Master Nineteen’s filial piety will surely be passed on!"
He said, "Uncle Liu will certainly be happy."
"Then, I won’t see you off any further."
Lin Nineteen let go of his hand, waving goodbye: "Take care, everyone."
Mr. Wu picked up the box, carefully backed away by two steps, efficiently signaling to the people in the cabin.
Signifying the return journey.
Thus, he watched as the speedboat took off and gradually sailed away. Lin Nineteen stood on the shore, smoking a rare cigarette, rubbing the fingers that had shaken hands earlier, and pondered deeply.
Should I cast a spell and blow up that dead fat man’s head, or leave him a memento—
It’s also a response to Uncle Liu.
Let the old man not be so eager to reach into my bowl. The young plant may have just sprouted, so why is it already being eyed by his own family?
People from the Lin family have always had thin familial bonds, and after leaving home, it’s even more so. They follow the decrees of Zhuyin and obey the authority of wickedness.
Never hesitant to cannibalize amongst themselves.
Uncle Liu is nearly old to death, how can his nose still be so sharp?
Just glancing at the crucial moment of the Alliance’s transformation, he’s already eyeing this juicy piece of meat?
Unfortunately, now is not the time to tear face with Uncle Liu. For Tanbo at the moment, a stable transition surpasses everything, and the Great Circle and Triad can’t be moved for now...
But why am I, a mere tool, even thinking about these things?
Such a bothersome thing should be left for the teacher to worry about.
If you can slack off, slack off.
Finished.
The Wood Cottage smacked its lips, pinched the swirling curse between its fingers, turned around, and headed for the two petrol barrels ahead.
The empty barrels rolled on the ground, and inside, two people rolled out, already being pinned down by Huaizhi Gang and unable to move.
"Are these the people the teacher wants?"
"Confirmed, it’s these two bastards for sure."
Ueno raised his head, wiping the blood off his fist.
The two on the ground were already a bloody mess.
Having lost the protective umbrella from above, the once arrogant masters of the Extreme Path fled hastily with their wealth, but ultimately couldn’t escape the final reckoning.
Lin Nineteen crouched down, examining those two distinctly frightened faces, suddenly asking: "By the way, does the Alliance have any disposal protocols for matters like this?"
"When President Tobio was around, they’d usually be burned to ashes before being sent back. But the boss, ahem, Mr. Huai doesn’t like such rough practices and just solves it and that’s it."
"If that’s the case, this small matter shouldn’t bother the teacher."
Lin Nineteen smiled, the curse poison flowed between his fingers, transforming into countless snake projections: "A student must always find opportunities to show their worth."
In a daze, Ozaki Mitsuharu stared wide-eyed.
At that moment, darkness descended.
.
.
Inside the meeting room, the negotiations with the bank had already begun.
Huai Shi paused his speech midway, picked up the phone on the table and glanced at it.
"Did something happen?" the dwarf from Magic Gold Bank asked curiously.
"No, nothing." Huai Shi put down the phone, "Just a follow-up on a past event."
He said, "Let’s continue."
Thus, the meeting continued.
By the time the third meeting concluded and Huai Shi finally returned to Stone Marrow Pavilion, it was already ten o’clock at night.
The discussions hadn’t led to anything concrete.
The loan itself is a mutual tug of war, especially when Jurisdiction Bureau Yingzhou Branch won’t vouch for it. Negotiating how much can be squeezed out with the Ivory Tower’s name is truly a tough task.
Fortunately, Huai Shi wasn’t in a hurry. The current funds and the upcoming revenue from the Alliance’s industries could support them for at least another two to three months, far from the urgency others assumed.
Moreover, every penny counted now because his side didn’t have enough chips.
As long as Huai Shi is given enough time, he can gather more into his plate. By then, when the balance shifts, it’ll be the bank begging him for a loan...
After a tiring day, having eaten Uncle Fang’s late-night snack, Huai Shi finally relaxed a bit.
He lay on the sofa, checked the bracelet on his arm, still flickering a warning red light, reminding him that the Eternal Beast organization in the Ruins remains unstable.
But upon opening his phone to check detailed data, he found that the initially projected three-year timeline had now shrunk to just over two years and nine months.
Setting aside the previous month, the timeline suddenly shortened by two months.
Tong Ji was right.
The construction and development within Tanbo Inner Circle had contributed to the Correction Value, enhancing the Great Priestess’s Sky’s Command, supplementing the diminished Divine Nature, thereby expediting the efficiency of the eradication.
Just with the initial stabilization, the projected time was reduced by six percent!
Huai Shi was momentarily incredulous.
That black-hearted woman is actually reliable this time!
Without even a moment to feel grateful, he suddenly heard a familiar murmur beside him: "Did someone just secretly talk trash about me?"
Huai Shi nearly jumped off the sofa in shock.
Turning around, he saw a familiar Phantom slowly rising from beneath the sofa like it had been diving, and upon seeing his ghost-like stunned expression, she gave a delighted smile.
Ding!
The bell in her hand rang with a crisp sound.
"—The main quest has been updated!"
