Chapter 273

Tan Cheng's heart skipped a beat; he immediately realized that the situation was grave.

"What exactly is going on? I left you in charge of the company, and now people have even stormed the front door! How could you let this happen!"

Boss Yao snapped back to his senses, pointing at Tan Cheng's nose and demanding an explanation.

"The situation is unclear, but I have already sent men over to investigate."

Tan Cheng took a deep breath and spoke.

Suddenly thinking of something, he dialed another number.

This time, Tan Cheng was calling his subordinate, A-Guang.

Originally, Tan Cheng had been full of confidence regarding this operation; A-Guang had been with him for nearly ten years and was always careful in his work, and with dozens of gunmen, it was a guaranteed success.

But the current situation suddenly made Tan Cheng feel much less confident.

A few seconds later.

Tan Cheng hung up the receiver with a stiff expression; the tone from the phone made him realize that something had gone wrong on A-Guang's end as well.

With this, Tan Cheng guessed the reason for the company's current state.

"The people who came are the ones trying to steal our business."

Tan Cheng said in a low voice.

"Didn't you say you would resolve them…"

Just as Boss Yao was about to fly into a rage, a series of gunshots and screams suddenly erupted.

Tan Cheng immediately pushed Boss Yao aside and leaned against the window, pulling back the blinds to look outside, but he could see nothing—only hear the continuous sound of gunfire and screaming.

Some of the screams were very familiar to Tan Cheng; they were clearly his own men.

This caused Tan Cheng's heart to sink continuously.

At the same time.

In the lobby of Hengda Finance Company.

The receptionist lay on the floor, no longer breathing; there was a bloody hole in the center of their forehead, the blood already congealed, and their eyes held not a trace of life.

In the area behind the reception desk, there were even more corpses.

The cause of death for every single body was identical: all had been shot in the center of the forehead.

Killed with a single shot, with no other wounds to be found.

The person who killed them was none other than the Priest.

Possessing max-level Gun-Kata, these people were no different from targets in the Priest's eyes; he didn't even need to aim, killing them with a casual shot.

From the moment the Priest stepped into Hengda Finance Company, he had made no attempt to hide himself, instead opening fire directly and clearing out everyone he encountered.

No one along the way could stop the Priest for even a second before falling.

Many didn't even see the Priest's face clearly, nor could they even draw their guns, before being struck by bullets, dying without ever knowing why.

Advancing in this manner, the Priest quickly approached the General Manager's office.

By now, behind the Priest, corpses were strewn everywhere, and the smell of blood and gunpowder was extremely heavy, filling every inch of space.

Inside the office.

Tan Cheng hid behind the blinds, seeing the Priest appear not far away.

Dressed in a white suit, the Priest remained spotless after the slaughter, not a single drop of blood staining his clothes, looking exceptionally striking.

Seeing the Priest, Tan Cheng's heart hammered wildly, and he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Under this pressure, even raising his gun to pull the trigger became a burden.

And by the time Tan Cheng finally overcame his fear and raised his muzzle, he could no longer find the Priest's figure.

Bang!

The next moment.

The office door was violently destroyed, the entire door panel shattering as countless wood splinters flew.

Then, the Priest walked into the office in a leisurely manner.

"You…"

Tan Cheng hurriedly tried to turn his muzzle.

But before Tan Cheng could complete the action, a bloody hole appeared in the center of his forehead.

Tan Cheng fell straight down; until his death, he never saw when the Priest had fired.

Tan Cheng's eyes quickly lost their luster, staring blankly at the ceiling—he had died with his eyes wide open in resentment.

Beside him, Boss Yao had already collapsed to the floor in terror at the sight.

Seeing the Priest's gaze turn toward him, Boss Yao scrambled backward, pleading, "Don't, don't kill me! I have a lot of money, I'll give you whatever you want…"

The Priest calmly put away his pistol; from beginning to end, there was no expression on his face, even after blood-washing the entire Hengda Finance Company.

To the Priest, killing was merely a simple job, nothing more.

"Mr. Ni wants to see you."

As the Priest spoke, he grabbed Boss Yao by the collar with one hand and hauled him up from the floor.

"Mr. Ni?"

Seeing the Priest put away his gun, Boss Yao felt slightly more settled, only then realizing what the words "Mr. Ni" meant.

"Did Ni Yongyao send you?"

Boss Yao asked in a choked voice.

But the Priest was in no mood to answer Boss Yao; seeing that the latter was talking too much, he struck him with a hand-blade.

Boss Yao's body suddenly stiffened, then his vision went black, and he fell straight to the ground.

The Priest carried Boss Yao with one hand as if he were cargo and left the office.

By the time the Priest walked out of Hengda Finance Company, an entire motorcade had arrived outside.

The Butcher got out of the car with a large group of Cleaner Squad members, exchanged a greeting with the Priest, and then quickly entered Hengda Finance Company to begin the cleanup work.

The Priest took Boss Yao, got into a car, and returned to the Ni Family Manor.

Ni Family Manor.

The study.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The Priest knocked on the door, and only after Ni Yongyao's voice came from inside did he push the door open and enter.

"Mr. Ni, Tan Cheng has been resolved, and Hengda Finance Company has been cleaned out."

The Priest reported to Ni Yongyao, then threw Boss Yao onto the floor and kicked him in the chest.

Boss Yao began to cough violently, and a few seconds later, he regained consciousness.

"Where is this…"

Boss Yao looked around in confusion, but upon seeing the Priest standing right in front of him, he immediately snapped back to reality.

Then he saw Ni Yongyao sitting behind the desk.

"Ni Yongyao!"

Boss Yao realized where he was.

"Boss Yao, sit."

Ni Yongyao smiled and pointed to the sofa.

Facing the amiable Ni Yongyao, Boss Yao shivered for no reason, cold sweat breaking out on his back and soaking his shirt.

Boss Yao even felt that the pressure brought by the smiling Ni Yongyao was greater than that of the Priest who had slaughtered Tan Cheng and the others.

"Mr. Ni, you brought me here—what exactly is your goal?"

Boss Yao swallowed and asked cautiously.

After speaking, he glanced secretly at the Priest, terrified that he might be shot by this guy the next moment.

"Boss Yao, there's no need to be nervous. Since I had my men spare your life, it's because you have your uses; I won't kill you casually."

Seeing Boss Yao's nervous appearance, Ni Yongyao smiled and reassured him.

But it would have been better if he hadn't said that; after hearing it, Boss Yao became even more nervous.

Seeing this, Ni Yongyao shook his head helplessly.

"Then let's keep it short. I invited Boss Yao here this time to introduce a business opportunity to you."

Ni Yongyao said, "It just depends on whether Boss Yao is interested."

"What business?"

Boss Yao asked, trembling.
