Chapter 72: Secret Plot

Ye Shaolong did not expect the Viper Mercenary Group to actually open their mouths like a lion.

At the very beginning, he had already paid five hundred million in cash, and now they actually wanted half of the Ye Family's assets.

His entire face was filled with shock and fear!

Half of the Ye Family's assets, that was a full ten billion or more!

But, matters had already developed to this point; even if he wanted to go back on his word, there was no way out!

The Viper Mercenary Group meant what they said, and they absolutely could not be provoked.

Although half the family fortune was extremely painful for him, as long as he could sit in the seat of the Ye Family's power-holder, it would be worth it no matter what.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Shaolong clenched his fists and made up his mind: "Fine, Lord Viper, as long as Ye Qinghan and that old thing are dead, I will hand over half of the Ye Family's assets with both hands!"

Only then did a trace of a satisfied smile appear on the corner of Viper's mouth.

"That's more like it. Following our Viper Mercenary Group, the days ahead for your Ye Family will definitely not be bad!"

"Mr. Yamamoto will certainly not treat you unfairly!"

At this moment, on the sofa nearby, a Dongying man with a small mustache, holding a beautiful woman, spoke in not-so-fluent Chinese: "Ye-san, our Great Dongying Empire wants to start from Jiangbei, invest in building factories, and then march into the Dragon Kingdom's business world!"

"As long as you obediently listen to us, I guarantee that you will definitely possess endless glory and wealth for the rest of your life!"

"Moreover, we lack a spokesperson in Jiangnan Province, and I believe you will be the best choice for our Dongying friends!"

A treacherous smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the Dongying man named Yamamoto.

The big families over in Jinling simply would not listen to the Dongying people, let alone let the Dongying people manipulate them.

Only by starting from a small place like Jiangbei could they step by step penetrate deep into the heartland of the Dragon Kingdom.

After controlling the Ye Family, they could use the Ye Family as a stronghold to cultivate and establish their own forces.

Furthermore, this would not be too eye-catching and would not arouse the suspicion of the Dragon Kingdom's official high-level authorities.

As long as Ye Shaolong obediently acted as a dog under them, they would also equip this dog with a gold chain and feed it the best dog food.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shaolong stood up from the sofa in an instant, excited.

"Mr. Yamamoto, is what you said true?"

"Of course it is true, Dongying people never tell lies!" Yamamoto Daxiang said with a smile.

Ye Shaolong immediately imitated the Dongying people's manner of bowing and spoke in the Dongying language: "Hai!"

"Mr. Yamamoto, please rest assured, from now on my Ye Family will be your most loyal partner!"

But, just at this moment, *thud*, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside.

A figure rushed in from outside the door in a panic: "Lord Viper, something... something has happened!"

"You bastard, didn't you see that we are in talks with Mr. Yamamoto?"

Viper was annoyed for a moment, then said coldly: "Speak, what is it?"

"Lord Hongzhen and Lord One-Eye have been... been killed!"

"The Martial Artists we sent out have also been completely wiped out!"

*Boom! *

Once these words were spoken, Ye Shaolong sat down on the floor on the spot, his entire expression one of shock and disbelief.

Viper was likewise so shocked that his eyes widened; for so many years, he had never lost his composure like this before.

Beside him, Yamamoto Daxiang's brows furrowed deeply.

"Is the Ye Family's strength that strong? Could the two great experts under you both be dealt with by the Ye Family?" Yamamoto Daxiang questioned.

Viper hurriedly bowed to Yamamoto Daxiang to apologize: "Mr. Yamamoto, I am sorry, perhaps some unexpected things have happened!"

"I will go out and take a look!"

How could Viper not know Ye Yuanshan's strength? With just those stinking fish and rotten shrimp in the Ye Family, it was impossible to kill Hongzhen and One-Eye.

The only possibility was that brat!

But this possibility was too small, less than one percent!

One must know that Hongzhen and One-Eye were his strongest right-hand men, having escaped the pursuit of Dragon Soul countless times.

In the entire Jiangnan Province, there were not many people who could harm them.

Ye Shaolong was completely bewildered!

He had already been waiting for good news from the Viper Mercenary Group!

What on earth was going on?

"Ye-san, you go back to the Ye Family first to investigate the situation!"

"If you don't show up for a long time, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Ye Family members!"

"Moreover, you can also go back and see what happened."

Yamamoto Daxiang took out a business card and handed it to Ye Shaolong.

"If there is anything, you can call this number to contact me; these few days, I will be at the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce!"

"If it really cannot be solved, I will send people to give you a helping hand!" Yamamoto Daxiang did not take this matter to heart.

Soon, he turned and left with his two subordinates.

"Hai! Mr. Yamamoto!" Ye Shaolong bowed deeply in salute.

After Yamamoto Daxiang and the others went downstairs, he suddenly picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it to pieces.

"Why?"

"Why is that old thing still not dead?"

"Who exactly saved her?"

Ye Shaolong could not figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

Now that things had reached this point, there was no other way; he could only return to the Ye Family first.

"Don't be anxious. With Mr. Yamamoto backing you and the Viper Mercenary Group backing you, no one in Jiangbei can do anything to you!"

"Go back and scout out the situation first!" After Viper finished speaking, he took Ye Shaolong downstairs together.

Ye Shaolong got into the car and quickly returned to the Ye Family.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw several pairs of eyes staring straight at him.

Ye Shaolong's heart skipped a beat.

"You bastard, where did you run off to?"

"Such a big thing has happened to the Ye Family, and you still have the heart to go out and mess around?"

Ye Yuanshan shouted angrily, and Ye Shaolong was startled into a shiver.

"Second Uncle, I'm glad you're alright!" Seeing Ye Shaolong return safely, Ye Qinghan could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, Dad, I only just found out that such a big thing happened to the Ye Family!"

Ye Shaolong's eyes were somewhat shifty, but very quickly, he regained his composure.

Only Lin Feng captured this tiny, subtle movement.

This Ye Shaolong has a problem!

"Old Master Ye, I have already received news from the Qilin Gang that they have found the Viper Mercenary Group's stronghold in the suburbs. I will head over there first!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Shaolong was instantly shocked.

"Mr... Mr. Lin, you found the Viper Mercenary Group's stronghold?"

"That is truly great!"

"I will immediately take people over there and slaughter those bastards!"

Ye Shaolong's heart was a mess at this moment; he did not know why Lin Feng would know these things.

Could it be that Hongzhen and the one-eyed man were killed by this kid?

In an instant, a sense of ominous foreboding rose in Ye Shaolong's heart.

He had to hurry back and tip off Viper.

"Come back!"

"If it weren't for Mr. Lin taking action, we would all have died at the hands of the Viper Mercenary Group!"

"Are you, this rebellious son, not blatantly going to your death by going over there?" Ye Yuanshan slapped Ye Shaolong on the head.
