"In the US, Dark Water Security Group is a top-tier armed group, one of the best."
"Normally, they wouldn't get involved in the squabbles of powers like us. It's just that Ji Wuyi offended them too much."
"Which is why we have this opportunity now."
"Everything that happened is Ji Wuyi's own fault, and he deserves to die."
As Ji Ning spoke, a sinister look flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Ji Wuhua with eager anticipation.
As long as Ji Wuhua agreed, the plan against Ji Wuyi could begin.
If he disagreed, Ji Ning would be powerless, as Dark Water Security Group wouldn't act for free.
"Alright."
A glint of ruthlessness flickered in Ji Wuhua's eyes, and he readily agreed.
As long as Ji Wuyi was out of the picture, he would still have a chance to ascend to the position of Ji family patriarch.
Seeing his agreement, Ji Ning's face lit up, and he quickly handed him a business card.
"This is Dark Water Security Group's contact information. Wuhua, we can't just sit back and wait. We must be ruthless and leave no loose ends."
"If we're exposed, the Ji family will have no place for us."
Ji Wuhua understood this without needing to be told. He nodded, took the business card, and said solemnly, "I understand. Don't mention this to anyone."
Ji Ning naturally nodded in agreement, "I know the gravity of this matter. I wouldn't even tell my parents."
"Heaven knows, you know, I know, and you know."
Ji Wuhua looked at the business card, his gaze complex, and couldn't help but open his mouth and say, "You should go back first. I need to think it over for a night."
"This is a matter of great importance, and I cannot make a hasty decision."
Ji Ning nodded and left immediately.
...
"Young Master Yun, the fish has taken the bait."
The head of Dark Water Security Group spoke with extreme deference to the young man before him, bowing his head.
If outsiders were to see this, they would be astonished.
After all, Gaburles, the head of Dark Water Security Group, was a renowned figure in the US.
Even many members of the US Congress had benefited from his patronage.
Furthermore, Dark Water Security Group was a notorious dark arms dealer, employing countless mercenaries.
Zhao Yunhai let out a soft "Mm," and bent down to trim a potted orchid.
"The environment here is quite good. You truly understand the art of cultivation and refinement from my Kyushu."
"Excellent, excellent," Zhao Yunhai praised.
"Thank you for your praise, Young Master Yun," Gaburles said with a hint of pride. "I have studied the etiquette and culture of Kyushu."
Gaburles bowed with gentlemanly grace and a smile, saying, "Please convey my regards to your mother, Young Master Yun."
After trimming the excess branches, Zhao Yunhai handed the pruning shears to A'da and turned around.
"My mother says you are her capable subordinate. It seems she judged correctly."
"However, I need you to thoroughly investigate how far the Ji family's influence reaches in the US."
Zhao Yunhai's visit to the US was to personally annihilate the Ji family.
Before coming, Zhao Yunhai had already scattered the ashes of the true Ji Wuyi (Lone Wolf) over the Pacific Ocean.
The only thing he valued about the Ji family was that they had produced a protagonist.
For a family that had produced a protagonist, he would still show some respect and personally deal with their downfall.
Gaburles said confidently, "Young Master Yun, rest assured, when Dark Water acts, no one dares to disobey."
Zhao Yunhai glanced at him and smiled faintly.
"When you cooperate with Ji Wuhua, remember to obtain the current personnel and genealogical records of the Ji family from him."
"Young Master Yun, you can count on me," Gaburles said with a sly smile.
"Then I will await your good news."
Zhao Yunhai, satisfied, led his entourage away from Dark Water Security Group.
In the US, Si Jinyan and his companions carried firearms discreetly. Carrying firearms here requires permits, which Dark Water Security Group had already arranged for them.
After all, this was the US.
A land of free breathing, where gunfights were a daily joy.
"Young Master Yun, watch your head."
Escorted by Si Jinyan and his men, Zhao Yunhai boarded a black armored vehicle and departed from Dark Water Security Group.
After seeing Young Master Yun leave, Gaburles stepped out of his office with a stern demeanor.
"Boss," his secretary hurried forward as soon as he emerged.
Outside Dark Water Security Group, and even to most employees within, Gaburles was simply the head of this security firm.
What they didn't know was that Gaburles was merely a front, a manager in name only.
The true Boss of Dark Water Security Group was a woman from an "ordinary family" residing in Yanjing, Kyushu.
Meanwhile, due to Ji Wuyi's exceptional performance, Ji Changlong had publicly announced him as the heir apparent to the Ji family.
Some members of the Ji family, defeated and impressed by "Ji Wuyi's" displayed talent, were convinced.
Others agreed due to the Patriarch Ji Changlong's decree.
However, the faction led by the Ji family's Grand Elder, who refused to acknowledge Ji Wuyi, was already plotting to seize the patriarchal position.
Ji Wuhua, who had initially planned to act on his own, was discovered by his grandfather when he attempted to access a large sum of money.
Ji Wuhua then revealed his plan, and Ji Wuhua's grandfather had long been dissatisfied with Ji Changlong.
If Ji Changlong hadn't insisted on a path of "peaceful development" back then and had been more assertive and forceful, the Zhao family's scheme would not have succeeded.
The primary reason the Ji family lost to the Zhao family in the past was Ji Changlong's soft-heartedness.
Thus, Ji Wuhua received the support of his family and successfully contacted Dark Water Security Group, offering them thirty billion US dollars to eliminate Ji Wuyi and Ji Changlong.
Initially, Ji Wuhua had prepared ten billion US dollars, but the people from Dark Water Security Group refused.
Ji Wuhua then presented his absolute bottom line: thirty billion US dollars to eliminate Ji Changlong and his son.
Thirty billion US dollars for the position of patriarch was deemed a worthy price by Ji Wuhua's grandfather and father.
Gaburles, having completed Young Master Yun's task and secured such a large order, naturally sought to claim credit.
Thus, Gaburles rushed to the villa where Young Master Yun was staying.
"Thirty billion US dollars. It seems the Ji family has still not recovered."
Zhao Yunhai was dismissive of this thirty billion US dollars and used it to further assess the strength of the Ji family.
Seeing Young Master Yun's lack of reaction to the thirty billion US dollars, Gaburles marveled at the wealth of the Zhao family in Kyushu. Thirty billion US dollars was no small sum!
"And the current genealogical records of the Ji family?" Zhao Yunhai asked him directly.
"I implied that I could get the list, and they were willing to pay more for it."
Gaburles, who had thought offering to pay more would earn him more respect from Young Master Yun, now regretted it. Should he have been more forceful and demanded the genealogical records without money?
Zhao Yunhai scoffed, "I think you're blinded by greed."
Si Jinyan, in perfect coordination, took out his pistol and cocked it with a click.
Gaburles was aware of the Zhao family's power. Witnessing this scene, he felt no inclination to resist and immediately knelt down.
"Young Master Yun, I was wrong."
Seeing the sincerity of his apology, Zhao Yunhai signaled Si Jinyan to put away the gun.
Zhao Yunhai smiled and helped him up, saying calmly, "You are not wrong, but it was also for the sake of the group's performance."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your understanding, Young Master Yun," Gaburles replied, wiping away cold sweat, forcing a smile that made his face stiff.
"However, I generally dislike there being a 'next time'."
Zhao Yunhai sat down and cast a casual glance at him.
The pressure on Gaburles instantly intensified, his heart feeling as though it would stop. He hastily promised that if it happened again, he would accept his fate.
"Young Master Yun, it has been calculated. In three days, the Ji family will have a gathering, and all clan members will be present."
"That is the day Ji Changlong will officially bring Ji Wuyi to the ancestral shrine to confirm his identity and have him recorded in the genealogical records."
"It is also that day when Ji Wuhua will publicly challenge Ji Wuyi again."
Wang Fan, who had been standing beside Zhao Yunhai, suddenly spoke.
Gaburles thought he misheard and stared at Wang Fan with wide eyes.
This person could actually calculate such things?
