Chapter 394: A Signal! A Secret Hidden for Twenty Years!
Midnight has arrived, and the cold wind whistles mournfully.
Late autumn is like a mischievous child, always able to suddenly create an accident for you.
A few snowflakes drifted down, landing on Luo San's arm, causing him to shiver instinctively.
But he couldn't tell whether it was the cold or the fright from the infrared.
Five sniper rifles simultaneously aimed at his head, waiting silently for Su Yang to give the order.
At that moment, the scene fell into an eerie silence.
Only the howl of the biting cold wind passed by, a weather normally taken for granted now sounding especially harsh.
Luo San's complexion shifted, and after a while he said in a deep voice, "Stop the posturing; where does your Six Harmony Guild get the capital to buy sniper rifles?"
"Moreover, Su Kang has never dealt with arms dealers; this must be a smoke bomb you deliberately set up, right?"
He possesses the qualities of a good player.
Never fight an unprepared battle!
As early as the morning of the second day after entering the game, he learned Su Yang's intelligence from a newspaper.
Regarding this top‑ranked player, Luo San, while feeling intimidated, also developed great curiosity.
After he triggers the Gravity Innate Talent causing a mining accident, he begins to set the plan in motion.
Seizing the moment before his faction has grown, he intends to snuff it out in the cradle!
Therefore, he spent a great deal of money and effort, planning meticulously together with his partners.
First, of course, is to scout the Six Harmony Guild.
Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles.
When he learned the Six Harmony Guild is merely a mediocre gang that is neither high nor low, he felt little contempt.
Because there is scant information on Su Kang, the roster only contains a brief one‑page summary.
This is extremely abnormal.
After all, Su Kang has sat in the gang leader's seat for twenty years, having done between eight thousand and ten thousand dirty jobs.
Just as he was sparing no effort to dig deeper, he happened to learn that Huang Hua is about to ascend to the president's seat.
Moreover, he even found time to have a meal with Su Yang.
Having learned this intelligence, Luo San promptly arranged a meeting with Jiang Hen Zhi.
He plans a one‑sided slaughter showdown!
For this reason, he temporarily set aside the investigation of the Six Harmony Guild.
In his view, this gang's ceiling may already be here, so no need to invest further effort.
However, at this very moment reality dealt him a head‑on blow!
This is a "top‑secret" item listed as contraband by the Warlord.
It is also a product that arms dealers are unwilling to sell.
Yet Su Yang boasts that the Six Harmony Guild has a sixth branch, possessing five sniper rifles?!
How could this not shock him?
Su Yang covered the throbbing wound, his complexion slightly pale, and said, "Since you don't believe, why not act?"
Seeing his sickly state, Luo San almost wanted to smash his head with a slap.
This desire is stronger than ever before.
But…
He doesn't dare!
Facing the threat, Luo San forcibly suppresses his nervousness and whispers, "Isn't Leader Su the same? Why not act?"
Su Yang's mouth twitched upward, his deep, pool‑like eyes gazing at the night sky, his slightly hoarse voice drifting out, "I am waiting for a signal."
"What signal?"
"Your guess?"
Luo San narrowed his eyes to a line, summoning courage several times to act, but his legs felt as if filled with lead.
Advancing is not an option, retreating is not either.
Seeing this, Su Yang smiled, "What an honor for the Six Harmony Guild to receive the favor of a distinguished Mining Company director."
"You've put a lot of effort on me, haven't you? Even know about my seafood business."
Luo San snorted coldly, "Is it hard to investigate? Even the most covert actions leave traces."
"Your criminal evidence is already in my office; if I don't return in time, the evidence will be fully presented!"
"By then, even if you slip through my palm, you can't escape the Warlord's pursuit!"
Su Yang stared into his eyes, seeing that fiery look, and chuckled, "I'm truly flattered; you've taken things this far, and if I didn't show some response, it would be indefensible."
Luo San's pupils rolled, proposing, "I want to put an end to this farce; how about we each take a step back and pretend nothing happened."
"I will destroy your evidence and promise never to act against the Six Harmony Guild or the Floating Life Business Association again."
"Actually we're on the same path; let's cooperate to achieve a win‑win, isn't that wonderful?"
Su Yang smiled indifferently, "Director Luo's proposal is indeed tempting, but I wouldn't dare keep a poisonous snake."
Grasping his own lifeline, he has no habit of releasing a tiger back to the mountain.
"The Azure Dragon Guild and the port wield massive power; if they take the top spot, you certainly won't be opponents!"
"I'll provide funds and manpower, you handle weapon purchases; within three months we can have an armed force of at least two thousand."
"Then we'll wipe out the Azure Dragon Guild and the port in one fell swoop; domination will be imminent!" Luo San said.
Speaking of this, his aura completely dissipated.
His flushed complexion gradually faded, returning to normal.
Su Yang lowered his head Vision Perception a glance at the time, and thought silently: "About fifteen minutes…".
The duration of the enhanced Innate Talent is only this little.
But the effect still amazes onlookers.
If you apply that needle during combat, you can catch the enemy completely off guard!
Luo San's plan is indeed meticulous.
He preempted Huang Hua's anticipation.
Only regrettably, he still fell a move short.
"Even the Azure Dragon Society, no matter how strong, cannot surpass the Warlord; even the port, however wealthy, cannot outdo the commercial tycoon."
"I'm a bit fastidious, I don't like to associate with poisonous snakes." Su Yang refused outright.
"You…" Luo San was about to speak, but Su Yang cut him off.
"You're waiting for Relocation's Cooldown Time, right? Let me calculate… fifteen minutes should be about right." Su Yang said with a smile.
Luo San was startled in his heart—how did he know?
During this period, on the surface he was courting Su Yang, but in reality he was buying time.
Waiting for his partner to teleport him back.
Once he escapes the sniper rifle's range, he will definitely kill all four of them!
As a poisonous snake, he excels at patience and biding his momentum.
Only…
He is very curious how Su Yang knows Relocation's specific Cooldown Time?
If it were a guess, that would be too coincidental.
And—
Why, despite the agreed time, has he not been teleported away yet?
Su Yang looked at Luo San's bewildered expression and slowly said, "Don't be afraid, I'll tell you, the signal I'm waiting for is the sniper's signal to snipe your partner!"
What?!
Does he have more than five sniper rifles?
Before Luo San could speak, Su Yang was heard calmly saying, "You should have already known the words I questioned the Golden Hall Hall Master with when I was campaigning for gang leader."
"Today I'm in a good mood, I'll give you a free piece of information."
"Actually, that 20% monthly profit has all been taken to arm the Shadow Hall."
"And this… is the secret that Su Kang has hidden for a full twenty years!"
