Chapter 1095 - Descendant of Jian Shen’s Story
A month later, with covert support from Organization X, Sister Hong received significant assistance in finances, materials, and manpower. Consequently, she led her subordinates to take over several territories consecutively, making her gang the city’s most preeminent.
Lin Yue would never have dreamed that Sister Hong would achieve such success today, transforming from a dispensable woman by Boss Hong’s side to toppling him and becoming the reigning queen of the underworld.
Although Lin Yue was happy for Sister Hong’s achievements, he couldn’t bring himself to share in the happiness, because it meant that escaping the gang would be even harder now. Moreover, as Sister Hong expanded her conquests, Lin Yue feared he would have to involve himself in more dealings, sinking ever deeper into the wrong path with each passing day.
Now, Lin Yue was in charge of the underground entertainment world, a position many envied, but he had no interest in it at all.
Every day, after the underground entertainment venues closed, Lin Yue would stay behind to have a good drink at the bar, a weary expression on his face.
"What’s the matter? You look so down every day. You’re sitting in this coveted seat and still not happy," the Hunter came over and poured himself a drink too.
Lin Yue gave a self-deprecating smile, "Don’t make fun of me, Master. You know what’s bothering me."
The Hunter feigned confusion, "Is there really a need to be upset about this? If nothing goes wrong, Sister Hong is thriving, and you’re set to lead a life many would envy."
To that, Lin Yue shook his head, "My parents wouldn’t want me to live a life where I have to fight and kill all the time. If I can’t break away from here, I won’t ever truly be able to return to my family."
