Chapter 348: Smoke of Gunpowder Pervades! Qinglong Order

Chen Jie raised his head and looked at Asawaqi, a smile appearing on his face.

He nodded at Asawaqi and said:

"Mr. Asawaqi, thank you for your cooperation!"

Asawaqi's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "China Chen Jie, what do you mean?"

Chen Jie shook his head and said indifferently:

"Thank you for the call you just made to your 'Old Gun Society' Headquarters. Everything today was done by the Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi ninjas!"

"You—!"

Upon hearing this, Asawaqi's expression changed instantly, and he said in a deep voice: "Bastard! You want to frame our 'Old Gun Society'? You want to make us start a war with the Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi?"

Chen Jie nodded and laughed heartily: "Smart!"

After speaking,

Chen Jie spoke again unhurriedly: "At the beginning, we wanted to frame Japan's 'Inagawa-kai', but at the last moment, I changed my mind!"

"Compared to Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi and Inagawa-kai, you are the most likely to become our biggest stumbling block in Central Asia."

"In Central Asia, you sway left and right, controlling many resources, rich beyond measure!"

"Hehe, Mr. Asawaqi, you say if your head suddenly appeared at South Korea's Seven Star Hall when your 'Old Gun Society' and the Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi erupt in conflict."

"You say, would a three-way melee break out then?"

"Would our Qinglong Society be able to fish in troubled waters then?"

Asawaqi narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Bastard! China Chen Jie, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Do you know the consequences of doing this? Once our 'Old Gun Society' finds out, they will definitely summon all forces and wipe out your Qinglong Society!"

"Even if you hide in Southeast Asia, we will spare no cost, absolutely wipe you out!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately shook his head and said with a smile:

"You're wrong! This has nothing to do with our Qinglong Society!"

"Even before long, our Qinglong Society will very likely form an alliance with your 'Old Gun Society', because we want Central Asia's underground boxing market!"

"Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi and Inagawa-kai have always coveted Central Asia's underground boxing market!"

"During this period, you have been in contact constantly, especially you, Mr. Asawaqi, did you really think we didn't know you've already reached a cooperation agreement with Japan's Inagawa-kai and Yamaguchi-gumi?"

"If you could honestly not contact and cooperate with the Japanese, perhaps we wouldn't have come for you."

"Too bad, you didn't expect us to strike first, right?"

"Since you've already generated the intention to cooperate with the Japanese to jointly deal with our Qinglong Society, then don't blame us for being ruthless."

"Of course, our Qinglong Society also wants to use this opportunity to advance into Central Asia's underground boxing market."

"Once the 'Old Gun Society' conflicts with Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi, with your organization's strength, it's enough to fight the Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi to mutual destruction."

"In that case, your 'Old Gun Society's' position as the number one force in Central Asia will have to make way for other organizations we support."

"Additionally, after Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi and Inagawa-kai erupt in conflict with you, our Qinglong Society's development will be even smoother!"

"Mr. Asawaqi, you say, am I right or not?"

Asawaqi gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Chen Jie.

He coldly snorted: "You think just because of that one call I just made, our 'Old Gun Society' will start a war with the Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi?"

"Our 'Old Gun Society's' management is completely different from your Qinglong Society, it's not decided by one person's word."

"Any resolution requires our 'Council Group' to vote and decide. Even if you kill me, our 'Old Gun Society' absolutely will not easily start a war with the Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi and Inagawa-kai."

"You should be clear, within any organization and force, they all value interests. Currently starting a war with the Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi does not conform to our 'Old Gun Society's' interests."

"If you want to use my death to frame the Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi, the plan will definitely fail!"

Chen Jie nodded, a faint smile-that-wasn't-quite-a-smile appearing on his face.

"That's right, what you said is very correct!"

Next, Chen Jie said meaningfully: "Asawaqi, you should know where our Qinglong Society's Headquarters is located."

"Besides underground boxing, what else is Southeast Asia most famous for? I believe you should know, right?"

"This brother beside me, you should be very clear what he used to do."

"Our Qinglong Society in Southeast Asia controls several Ice Factory lines!"

"You say if we cooperate with your 'Old Gun Society' and give up one Ice Factory line, would your internal 'Council Group' agree to cooperate with our Qinglong Society for the sake of interests?"

"Actually, from the moment you started wanting to cooperate with the Japanese, your fate was already sealed!"

Upon hearing this, Asawaqi remained silent, making no sound.

Chen Jie's face turned cold, he raised his head to look at Asawaqi and said indifferently:

"After saying so much, now you can go die—!"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Jie's claw reached forward.

Asawaqi only felt a blur before his eyes, followed by seeing an afterimage grabbing toward his throat.

Just like eagle claws, five fingers, vigorous and powerful, irresistible force.

Whoosh—! The sharp wind, extremely fierce, grabbed onto his throat.

Too fast! No one expected that after Chen Jie talked with him for so long, he would suddenly strike a killing blow.

The terrifying speed was heart-trembling.

Crack—! A piercing sound of bones shattering spread through the surroundings.

Like a heavy hammer, ruthlessly striking a person's heart vital point, simply suffocating.

Asawaqi only felt a pain in his throat, a sharp wind whistling past.

The next moment, the pain at his throat instantly spread throughout his whole body.

He didn't even have time to roar; a mouthful of hot blood spurted from his throat!

Immediately after, his body flew backward, landing five meters away.

Asawaqi looked like a dead dog, lying prone on the ground, completely motionless——.

——

After everything was settled, Chen Jie raised his head and looked at the Qinglong Society members rushing over, saying indifferently:

"Clean up the scene, Wang Hou, contact a boat, we're leaving South Korea now."

"By the way, call Kim Taeseok and have him handle the situation here."

An hour later,

The Qinglong Society members boarded a large fishing vessel.

Chen Jie gazed at the vast sea and said to everyone with a smile:

"Rare opportunity, this trip to South Korea, our business is more or less done!"

"The next few days, we can just properly relax and rest."

"None of you have experienced life at sea, right? Go fishing, whoever catches the most fish gets a reward of one million US dollars!"

Huala——! Hearing this news, everyone in the Qinglong Society jumped up happily.

Although the large fishing vessel was still in South Korean waters, Chen Jie wasn't worried about being caught up to.

This fishing vessel looked ordinary on the outside, but the interior had been modified.

Once at full acceleration, even South Korean coast guard ships couldn't catch up.

Moreover, the fishing vessel was equipped with considerable heavy firepower, and also had a helicopter.

To arrange this modified large fishing vessel, fatty Wang Hou had used quite a few connections.

At this time,

Everyone on the fishing vessel, looking at the boundless sea, relaxed their mood.

Entertainment at sea was limited; besides fishing, there were no other activities.

Because the fishing vessel headed to Southeast Asia needed to take a large detour, they would have to stay at sea for at least a week before changing course for Southeast Asia.

To keep everyone from being too bored on the open sea, Chen Jie led everyone in starting a fishing competition on the ocean.

Three people per group, free play, tacit cooperation, see how many fish they could catch in the ocean? At six o'clock every evening, all caught fish would begin to be tallied by weight and quantity. Finally awards would be given, whoever caught the most got the highest reward.

After awards were given, everyone gathered on the fishing vessel's deck and started a barbecue party on the open sea.

Anyway, after leaving South Korea, everyone started to relax, no longer needing to guard against being schemed against from behind.

So, when Chen Jie announced the fishing competition start, everyone revelled and began fishing.

As the Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Chen Jie naturally wasn't willing to fall behind.

He was a fishing novice, but couldn't help following others in learning to fish.

Whenever a fish was caught, everyone screamed in delighted surprise.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the entire large fishing vessel appeared very harmonious.

When night fell, everyone put away their fishing rods and began gathering on the deck.

The award ceremony became another revelry.

One million US dollars, for ordinary Qinglong Society members, was still very attractive.

When everything ended, someone immediately set up barbecues, lit a bonfire, waiting to eat grilled fish! Not only deep-sea squid, but also many precious deep-sea fish species.

Someone even caught a tuna!

Looks like the Qinglong Society has outstanding talents, several fishing experts with deep insights into survival at sea.

In the lively atmosphere, those elites who had experienced battlefields all began showing off their barbecue skills.

Grilling fish, this kind of challenging work, is not something ordinary people can handle.

In less than half an hour, the entire deck was permeated with a rich fish fragrance.

Many people couldn't hold back, started snatching even not-yet-fully-cooked fish pieces, and began feasting, eating ravenously.

Chen Jie smelled the barbecued fish fragrance, couldn't help snatching a piece of fish and eating it.

Taste was pretty good! Truthfully, this kind of freshly caught fish is just fresh, compared to those frozen fish meats, there's still some difference in taste.

Drinking beer, singing songs, eating barbecue——! On the deck, the atmosphere was one of jubilation.

After eating and drinking their fill, anyway on the open sea they weren't in a hurry to return.

Many didn't want to sleep this early, everyone on the deck, singing and dancing, a rare relaxation.

Even a few guys circled up on the deck and started an underground boxing match, everyone betting internally, seeing who could win.

Of course,

This was just sparring, not real fighting.

However,

This kind of leisurely relaxed fun couldn't be maintained forever.

On the open sea, after leaving South Korea's region, they entered Bay Island's region.

Third day afternoon.

Watching as the large fishing vessel was about to enter the Philippines' region.

According to plan, after entering the Philippines' region, they would switch boats or take a plane and leave, directly heading for Southeast Asia Chiang Mai.

After eating dinner, Chen Jie was sitting on a stool on the deck resting, appreciating several elites' boxing sparring, and cheering and shouting for them.

With the identity of a boxing fan, watching boxing sparring, this feeling was indeed relaxing.

Just as Chen Jie was shouting cheers for the victor.

Li Chengze sitting next to Chen Jie, his phone suddenly rang.

After he finished the call, his originally completely relaxed, smile-wreathed face turned very serious.

Chen Jie, who had been clapping, quickly noticed Li Chengze's abnormality.

He turned his head and glanced at the other man, asking in surprise, "Li Chengze, what's wrong? It's this late — who called you?"

Chen Jie's mobile phone was in the cabin sleeping area; he hadn't brought it with him.

Within the entire Qinglong Society, only the upper echelon knew his mobile number; no one else did.

So, under general circumstances, people directly calling to reach Chen Jie, this Dragon Head, were not many.

Huu—! Li Chengze took a deep breath and said with a stern expression, "Dragon Head, something's happened!"

"Something happened? What is it?"

Chen Jie raised his head and looked at Li Chengze's complexion; a thread of bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

Something happened!

Could it be that the Southeast Asia Headquarters side had a situation? The Qinglong Society's Valley Headquarters is heavily guarded, with Shen Yan and Qilin holding the fort, strong in troops and horses.

Anyone wanting to attack the Qinglong Society's headquarters would absolutely not find it that easy.

Chen Jie really couldn't figure out how the Qinglong Society headquarters could possibly have an accident.

At this time,

Everyone around, hearing Li Chengze's voice, all fell quiet.

Chen Jie took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Speak. What exactly happened?"

Li Chengze hesitated a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Dragon Head, just now the headquarters side called. Shen Yan suddenly took control of the Qinglong Society headquarters and ordered an A-Level Alert for Qinglong Valley!"

"At the same time, Shen Yan issued the 'Qinglong Token', ordering the Qinglong Society Twelve Halls and all regional Persons in Charge to return to headquarters."

The fat man Wang Hou beside them widened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise:

"What does that mean? This guy Shen Yan suddenly took control of the Qinglong Society headquarters?"

"He issued the 'Qinglong Token'? What qualification does he have to issue the 'Qinglong Token'? Where's Qilin? I remember the Dragon Head only authorized Qilin to issue the Qinglong Token!"

"Damn it, could it be Shen Yan wants to betray and seize power?"

Hearing this, Chen Jie's face instantly turned terrifyingly gloomy.

Before leaving Southeast Asia, he had authorized two people to use the Qinglong Token! First was Qilin, next was Shen Yan.

Now the one issuing the Qinglong Token, putting Qinglong Valley on A-Level Alert, and summoning everyone back to headquarters is Shen Yan, not Qilin! Then there's only one possibility — Qilin has met with trouble! Otherwise, the one issuing the Qinglong Token would be Qilin, it couldn't possibly be Shen Yan.

What on earth is going on?

Could it really be Shen Yan betraying and seizing power?

Impossible! Chen Jie gritted his teeth, forcing himself to calm down.

Since he dared authorize both Qilin and Shen Yan to use the Qinglong Token, he absolutely trusted them.

At this moment,

The fat man Wang Hou beside them asked in surprise, "Li Chengze, what exactly happened? You tell it clearly!"

"What's the situation? How come I didn't get a call?"

"And before Shen Yan issued the Qinglong Token, shouldn't he have called the Dragon Head at least?"

Li Chengze glanced at his phone, hesitated a moment, and said:

"Dragon Head, your phone couldn't be connected. Shen Yan called your phone for half an hour; unable to reach you, he then called me!"

"This matter— Dragon Head, let's go inside the cabin, I'll give you a detailed report—!"

Chen Jie frowned slightly and said indifferently, "No need for a separate report. Just speak directly — what exactly happened?"

Li Chengze took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"Qilin's in trouble! Just now Shen Yan said on the phone that Qilin was beaten seriously injured in Chiang Rai Province, then captured by the opposing force!"

"Ba Te is also missing. Three hundred Qinglong Society brothers were ambushed and wiped out to the last man!"

"Our forces in Chiang Rai Province were thoroughly defeated, and at the same time in Chiang Mai, our Qinglong Society forces were also attacked!"

"This attack's target points straight at our Qinglong Society headquarters."

"So Shen Yan, unable to contact you, could only issue the 'Qinglong Token' to summon everyone back to headquarters!"

"Our Qinglong Society's forces in Southeast Asia have suffered a heavy blow—!"

What!?

Everyone around, hearing this news, was greatly shocked! They even thought they'd misheard!
