Chapter 448 Lei Mansion’s Retribution
The two men watched Yang Qi’s eerie tactics, petrified with fear. They retreated in terror, but in the next second, Yang Qi appeared on their path.
He grabbed one of them, and a layer of cold ice began to form over the man’s body. In the blink of an eye, the man had turned into an ice sculpture.
Yang Qi gave it a casual slap.
The ice sculpture shattered into pieces that scattered in the wind.
Let alone the directors of the Heavenly Dog Society, even Lei Tingjun was left gaping in astonishment.
What kind of technique is this? Only now do I understand how wise my daughter was to choose Yang Qi as her master. This has definitely transcended the realm of a Martial Artist. Could he be a legendary Immortal?
"Don’t, don’t kill me! Please don’t kill me! Do you know who my master is? It’s the president of the Heavenly Dog Society, Mitsuhide Kamishiro! I’m a member of the Wang Family! You can’t kill me. If you kill me, you’ll offend not only the Wang Family of Thunder City but also my master, Mitsuhide Kamishiro. Neither my father nor my master is someone you can afford to provoke."
The third director had actually begun to beg for mercy.
Yang Qi was momentarily stunned.
I thought all the directors of the Heavenly Dog Society were from Kappa Country. I never expected there to be a Dragon Country native among them, and from the Wang Family of Thunder City, no less. One of the Four Sects and Six Families. So, does that make this man Wang Teng’s older brother? No wonder he’s not even forty yet has already reached such a level. That’s truly rare.
Seeing Yang Qi fall silent, Wang Yun thought he was scared.
He hastily added, "I don’t care who you are or who you’ve killed. I won’t betray you. As long as you don’t kill me, I won’t tell my master what happened here. Moreover, if you let me go, my Wang Family will remember your kindness. I guarantee you a future of wealth and glory. The Lei Mansion is finished. This time, the Heavenly Dog Society has joined forces with several other families to move against them. The Lei Mansion’s good days are over. I hope you understand and make a smart choice."
Lei Tingjun couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this. He knew all too well what kind of person Yang Qi was. With those words, Wang Yun was sending himself to his grave. What an idiot.
Seeing Yang Qi still hesitating, Wang Yun pressed on, "One side is heaven, the other is hell. You know which to choose, don’t you? Kill me, and there will be no place for you in all of Jingnan Prefecture. You’d better think this through."
Yang Qi smiled. "There are a few things you might not know. Before you die, let me let you in on them so you can die knowing why."
"What?" Wang Yun sensed that something was terribly wrong.
Yang Qi leaned in and whispered in Wang Yun’s ear, "I’ve already killed Shengong Jiunan. Why would I care about killing one more like you?"
What! Wang Yun was stunned. They were both directors, but Shengong Jiunan was one of the top-tier members among the twelve. This man killed even Shengong Jiunan... Who else would he possibly fear? Would he really be afraid of Mitsuhide Kamishiro?
"Go on and die in peace," Yang Qi said. "Before long, I’ll send Mitsuhide Kamishiro down to join you and continue being your master. I hope the two of you don’t continue your evil deeds in the underworld. Be careful, or you might never be reincarnated."
Yang Qi’s voice sent an unprecedented shiver down Wang Yun’s spine. This guy... He actually intends to kill Mitsuhide Kamishiro! Does he have any idea what that means?
"Go!"
Yang Qi finally made his move. A bolt of lightning enveloped Wang Yun, and in an instant, his soul was scattered.
In truth, Yang Qi would have preferred to control Wang Yun as a Puppet. However, his Puppetry Technique was only at the Second Level, allowing him to control just two people. With Kong Tianjian and Kong Dijian already occupying those spots, Wang Yun could only die.
Thus, of the four Heavenly Dog Society directors, one had died at the hands of Lei Tingjun, and three had perished by Yang Qi’s hand. Adding Shengong Jiunan to the count, Yang Qi had now slaughtered four directors.
Lei Tingjun’s shock was beyond words. I have always known Yang Qi was formidable, but I never imagined he was this terrifyingly powerful. This is truly earth-shattering. What has the Lei Mansion done to deserve an ally like him? This is truly a heaven-sent opportunity.
Yang Qi smiled at Lei Tingjun and asked, "How are you feeling?"
"Mr. Yang’s Elixir is truly miraculous," Lei Tingjun replied, his tone more respectful than ever. "I’ve mostly recovered."
In the past, he felt that although Yang Qi was a benefactor to the Lei Mansion, he could still maintain an attitude of superiority. Only today did he truly understand. This young man is a dragon among men, destined to become the most dazzling star of the future. I must treat him with the utmost respect.
Yang Qi escorted Lei Tingjun back to the Lei Mansion, and the Lei Family could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But they couldn’t simply let the matter rest. For Lei Qingtian, the fact that his son was ambushed and nearly killed was absolutely intolerable. Now that he knew who was responsible, doing nothing was unthinkable.
"It seems some people have forgotten the terror of the Garrison and the Heavenly Supervision Hall!" Lei Qingtian’s eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Send the order. It’s time to destroy all the Heavenly Dog Society strongholds we’ve been monitoring. Also, deliver Wang Yun’s corpse to the Wang Family and tell them to deal with it as they see fit. Wang Yun dared to ambush Lei Tingjun, the Commander of the Garrison, and killed over a hundred of our soldiers. Let the Wang Family make their choice."
In truth, Lei Qingtian wanted to exterminate the Wang Family and the Heavenly Dog Society entirely, but he didn’t have the power to do so. If he could have, he would have done it long ago. This time, it was more about venting, an act for which he now had ample justification.
That very day, the Heavenly Dog Society suffered a heavy blow. Their strongholds, which they thought were well-hidden, were discovered one by one and shut down. Their members were either killed or captured, plunging the society into chaos. Only the Heavenly Dog Society’s headquarters in Jingnan Prefecture remained undiscovered and was thus unaffected.
When the Wang Family saw Wang Yun’s corpse, they were filled with hatred but had no choice but to issue a public apology. They even compensated the Lei Mansion with a significant piece of their territory. They had no other option. Until they were ready for an open confrontation with the Lei Mansion, this was their only move.
「At the headquarters of the Heavenly Dog Society.」
Mitsuhide Kamishiro’s face was unspeakably gloomy.
I have a feeling that something is amiss. Ever since we began targeting the Qifei Group, the Heavenly Dog Society seems to have been plagued with misfortune. Out of twelve directors, five of us are now dead. This is a devastating loss. What I find most unbelievable is that four of our directors joined forces, yet not only failed to kill Lei Tingjun but were instead killed by him. This led to the Heavenly Dog Society being targeted, a matter that truly infuriates me.
"President, what should we do next?" a director asked.
"Tomorrow is Hidetoshi Kamishiro’s wedding. At the wedding, I plan to personally slay the owner of the Qifei Group. After that, we’ll take our time settling the score with the Lei Mansion. I suspect the deaths of those four directors are connected to the owner of the Qifei Group. He is our most fearsome adversary. Once he’s dead, the Lei Mansion will be nothing to worry about!" Mitsuhide Kamishiro said fiercely.
Everything now hinged on tomorrow.
