Chapter 1062: Puppet

A powerful Mental Imprint immediately invaded their consciousness, and these dozen or so people instantly became Puppets that Chen Yu could kill with a single thought.

"Pick up your guns, kill him, quickly." Qiao An's face was fierce; these people were all his personal guards, their strength was high, and they were relatively loyal, but now, these people had actually surrendered?

"Guard the door, do not allow anyone to enter," Chen Yu said, staring at these people.

These people looked at each other, no one dared to move, but as soon as Chen Yu moved his thoughts, two of them screamed, blood flowing from their seven orifices, and they collapsed to the ground.

In everyone's consciousness, a magnificent voice resounded: "Those who do not submit, die..."

The remaining eight people looked at Chen Yu with terrified expressions; they picked up their guns without hesitation, two of them pointed at Qiao An, and the rest guarded the entrance, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.

"You, you bastards, I serve you good food and drink every day, I give you plenty of money, and now you betray me?" Qiao An was both shocked and furious: "Ungrateful wretches, I will not let you off, I am a man of the Grand Director."

"Know what it feels like to be betrayed now?" Chen Yu said with a smile: "Since I dared to come here alone, it means I have nothing to fear. Did you really think a few guns could scare me?"

"Who exactly are you? We have no grudges between us, why do you want to treat me like this?" Qiao An roared.

"Right, we have no grudges between us. I just wanted to do business with you properly, but how did you treat me? Do you value integrity?" Chen Yu took out a fake Spirit Stone, flipped it over in his hand to look at it a few times, and sneered: "I have to say, you made it quite realistic."

"Unfortunately, this kind of thing containing heaven and earth Spiritual Energy is not for looking at with the naked eye, but for sensing the Spiritual Energy within. If you cannot sense the Spiritual Energy inside, there is no need to look at it at all; this thing is definitely fake."

"Fine, fine, I admit defeat today. Brother Yu Qiao, I admit that you found a powerful backer." Qiao An suddenly smiled; since he couldn't beat the other party, he had to take a step back.

"The items are locked in my warehouse. I will go get them for you now, and our grievances will be settled here. How about that?" Qiao An said.

"What do you think?" Chen Yu smiled: "Is there anyone as shameless as you? You stole my things, and then giving them back to me counts as if nothing happened?"

"Then what else do you want? I have already made concessions, are you going to be aggressive? My backer is..."

Before Qiao An finished speaking, Yu Qiao, who was to the side, suddenly became enraged. He grabbed a wine bottle and smashed it heavily onto Qiao An's head, then grabbed a steak knife and stabbed it into his thigh.

Even then, he still felt it wasn't enough to vent his anger, so he grabbed a chair and smashed it at him blindly. Bang, bang, bang—after a chaotic beating, this guy fell into a pool of blood, covered in wounds.

Yu Qiao stepped forward, stepped on his head, and said coldly: "Qiao An, in my eyes, you are nothing but a dog so pathetic you didn't even have food to eat. If not for my help, you would have died long ago, damn it."

"So what if you have the Grand Director as a backer? In his eyes, you are still just a dog. Furthermore, do you really think Mr. Chen is afraid of that Grand Director? I don't know where the sense of superiority in your bones comes from. Daring to speak disrespectfully to Mr. Chen, I will kill you right now."

Qiao An was covered in blood; he lay on the ground trembling, not daring to say a word like a dog, though his eyes were full of unwillingness.

"What do I want?" Chen Yu grinned: "I said just now, I want the management rights to the mine. Did you not hear me?"

"Originally, I wanted to do business with you normally. You provide the Spirit, and I provide the money. After the transaction, we would owe each other nothing. But you insisted on playing these petty tricks with me. By doing this, didn't you give me a reason to seize your management rights?"

"That is impossible." Qiao An, of course, would not give in so easily.

Bang... Yu Qiao smashed another wine bottle down, and Qiao An collapsed to the ground with a thud.

This time he did not climb back up; he lay on the ground like a dead dog, panting for a long time before struggling to sit up.

"The management rights are in the hands of the Grand Director. His authority is very high. Although the various warlords in S Country are in chaos, as one of the top figures, he still has real power," Qiao An said in a wretched state.

"Oh, so that means you have no use. Then why should I keep you?" Chen Yu sneered.

"No, no, I am useful, I am still useful," Qiao An said in terror: "I can act as a go-between for you and the Grand Director to lure him out. He has heavy guards around him, and there are experts..."

"Experts? What kind of experts?" Chen Yu became interested in this.

"One... an A-San, he should belong to the A-San Divine Sect. He is very powerful. If you try to force your way in, it definitely won't work. If you alert him, he will run," Qiao An said hurriedly: "I can help you lure him out, and then you can control him."

"What is the Grand Director's name?" Chen Yu asked.

"His name is... Ano."

"Hmm, a figure who holds real power. You barely even qualify to be his dog," Chen Yu smiled: "You say you can lure him out, but I think he might not necessarily give you that much face, because you cannot even get close to him."

"No, I can, I can lure him out. I will tell him that a treasure has been dug up here, and he will come. He is a person who loves wealth more than his own life." Qiao An desperately tried to demonstrate his value, fearing that Chen Yu would think he was useless and kill him directly.

"Hmm, unfortunately, it is no longer needed." Chen Yu shook his head, and with a flick of his finger, Qiao An felt his breathing become obstructed.

He screamed, fell to the ground, clutched his throat tightly with both hands, unable to breathe, and then spat out a mouthful of fresh blood; he had actually died just like that.

"Useless people are always useless. I just stretched out my hand and didn't even use any Original Power, and this guy was scared to death." Chen Yu shook his head speechlessly.

There was a reason why Qiao An couldn't even afford to eat before; this guy was timid by nature, and even though he had some real power now, it couldn't change the fact that his personality was cowardly and weak.

"Mr. Chen, he is dead. What should we do next?" Yu Qiao looked at Qiao An, who had already stopped breathing, his expression somewhat complex.

After all, this was someone he had treated as a brother, but unfortunately, he had betrayed him.

"Take these people and go seize the mine." Chen Yu casually tossed him a gun.

"Just... with eight people?" Yu Qiao was startled; the other side had at least fifty or sixty vicious, lawless thugs.
