Chapter 93
Wang Gao’s frustration reached a boiling point as he watched his plan to control Donghai’s illegal circles start to unravel. His right-hand man, who had been sent to intimidate Huang Yuming, was now broken and humiliated, lying before him with a scrawled message across his face. The image of his subordinate’s ruined body only deepened his rage.
“Huang Yuming is asking for it!” Wang Gao snarled, slamming his palm onto the table with enough force to rattle the room. His anger burned hotter as he thought of the slight Huang Yuming had given him, refusing to bow to his offer. He had even gone so far as to insult him. That was unforgivable.
“Humph, he probably doesn’t know that Lin Wu is keeping a close eye on him. He’s going to die sooner or later,” Wang Gao added, his voice dripping with venom.
He couldn’t fathom how Huang Yuming had the audacity to mock him, especially with Lin Wu’s looming influence. The situation had shifted from one where Wang Gao was the hunter to one where he was now the hunted, and his pride couldn’t take it.
One of his subordinates, still trying to navigate the shifting tides of power, spoke hesitantly, “Boss, what do we do now? Huang Yuming has that strong fighter by his side. It’s very hard to settle this.”
The mention of the mysterious fighter—someone who had taken down a Muay Thai expert with just one punch—sent a shiver down everyone’s spine. Whoever this man was, he was not someone easily intimidated, and that made Huang Yuming’s camp a far more dangerous enemy than Wang Gao had anticipated.
“Tell Gao Fei and let him settle it himself,” Wang Gao decided. His face hardened with resolve. “Tell him that Hei Long and his brother were beaten up by Huang Yuming!”
His strategy was clear. He was no longer relying on his own muscle. Instead, he was pulling strings, using the influence of those from Shengcheng to clean up his mess. Lin Wu had placed himself firmly within the web of Donghai’s underworld, and Wang Gao knew that his position as a potential spokesperson for Shengcheng’s interests was his ticket to true power.
The opportunity was too valuable to squander. As long as he played his cards right, Wang Gao believed he could use the turmoil surrounding Huang Yuming to his advantage.
“Let’s see how Huang Yuming handles a real threat,” Wang Gao muttered, staring down at the mess in front of him. “And when it’s all over, I’ll be the one standing at the top of the pile.”
But even as Wang Gao spoke, he couldn’t shake the gnawing suspicion in the back of his mind. Huang Yuming had been underestimated, and Jiang Ning, the mysterious figure behind him, was a wildcard no one had truly accounted for. The balance of power in Donghai was shifting in ways Wang Gao couldn’t yet predict, and every move he made from here on out would carry consequences.
