Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 112: Chapter 110: The Deceitful King Faction’s Next Phase Plan—Taking Peng City

”Hmph!” Upon hearing Zhang Yuandong’s words, Li Hongyan couldn’t help but sneer, ”Our Li Family is not like your Zhang Family, send out eight people and only two come back.”

”It’s truly embarrassing, but don’t worry. If the Xu Family brat really runs to Peng City, our Li Family people can bring him out. Who knows, we might even help your Zhang Family save face.”

”Old Zhang! No need to thank me! We tycoons should support each other, shouldn’t we?”

Thank you?

I thank your ancestors from eight generations ago.

All are foxes from the same hill, how could Zhang Yuandong not know what Li Hongyan was thinking?

Li Hongyan was clearly sarcastic, mocking the Zhang Family’s misfortune.

However, Zhang Yuandong was helpless.

There is competition within the tycoons, it’s not just Li Hongyan laughing at him now.

When beaten, one must stand straight. This time the Zhang Family suffered a great loss, and Zhang Yuandong couldn’t stop people from mocking him.

”Can we talk about something else?” Zhang Yuandong didn’t want to engage with Li Hongyan, he replied irritably.

Li Hongyan pondered for a moment, nodded, and agreed to Zhang Yuandong’s request.

After thinking for a while, Li Hongyan changed the topic and asked, ”I heard your son was castrated, how is he doing now?”

”I happen to know a few doctors, would you like me to introduce them to you?”

Zhang Yuandong: ”??????”

Zhang Yuandong’s face turned even darker, he thought, I asked you to change the topic, and this is what you choose?

This is even worse than the previous topic!

And you know a few doctors—are they even legitimate doctors?

On your Li Family’s search engine, all the doctors come up as Puxi doctors.

Don’t mention treating those who don’t have Kun, they might just cut off your Kun’er even if it’s just removing foreskin.

”Li Hongyan, don’t push it too far!” Zhang Yuandong clenched his fists, with a tone of slight anger.

If Li Hongyan was merely talking about Zhang Family’s failed mission, so be it.

Now, mentioning his son’s castration is a blatant mockery of the Zhang Family.

Even a clay Buddha gets angry, let alone Zhang Yuandong who isn’t a pushover.

Things can happen once or twice, but if it happens repeatedly, then don’t blame me for not being nice to Li Hongyan.

Seeing Zhang Yuandong genuinely angry, Li Hongyan sighed, muttering to himself as he sat down.

He kept mumbling, ”Eight people came back as two, things ended up like this, yet not allowed to speak a word...”

Before Li Hongyan could finish speaking, a young man from the Li Family rushed in with a grieving face, leaned over to Li Hongyan’s ear and whispered, ”Family Head, it’s gone, it’s all gone!”

Li Hongyan frowned and asked in a deep voice, ”What’s gone? Make it clear.”

At this time, the other family heads in the conference room noticed the situation on Li Hongyan’s side, and their gazes shifted over.

”Family Head, the hunting squad is gone!”

”Our Li Family’s hunting squad was completely wiped out, not a single survivor.” The young man from Li Family paused and continued, ”According to the intel from our insider in Peng City, Xu Weili has already been taken back to Peng City by Lin Yuan.”

”Our hunting squad originally intercepted Xu Weili, but at the crucial moment, Lin Yuan and his people arrived....”

By this point, there’s no need to say more.

The remaining situation, no need to explain, everyone can imagine.

The Li Family’s hunting squad was entirely killed by Lin Yuan, and Xu Weili along with Xu Family’s research results have fallen into Lin Yuan’s hands.

Upon hearing the news of the Li Family’s hunting squad being wiped out, other tycoon family heads frowned deeply, showing a face of concern.

However, Zhang Yuandong instead felt a sense of relief.

This is truly the wheel of fortune!

Earlier, Li Hongyan mocked Zhang Yuandong without mercy, now, Zhang Yuandong definitely has a chance for revenge.

”Oh dear!”

”Complete annihilation!”

”This is truly a pity!”

”Brother Li, condolences, my deepest condolences!” Zhang Yuandong patted Li Hongyan’s shoulder for comfort, then sighed, ”Actually, I somewhat envy Brother Li.”

”Your hunting squad left no survivors, you can rebuild it easily. Unlike me, I still have two people left to reorganize around.”

”Oh right, Brother Li, you lost twelve people, right? But Brother Li has a huge family business, these mere twelve people are nothing to the Li Family.”

Zhang Yuandong patted Li Hongyan’s shoulder, unable to hide the smile on his face.

The chilly words made Li Hongyan quite uncomfortable!

This is what they call fortunes turning, this is exactly how he mocked Zhang Yuandong earlier.

”Zhang Yuandong, shut up!” Li Hongyan shrugged off Zhang Yuandong’s shoulder and said angrily.

Li Hongyan’s attitude made Zhang Yuandong feel particularly satisfied!

Simply put, seeing Li Hongyan lose people under his command felt even better to Zhang Yuandong than not losing anyone himself.

”Alright, both of you shut up.” The Ghost Leader of the Deceitful King Faction, sitting at the head, with an ugly face resembling an alien, reprimanded coldly.

Ghost Leader glanced around at the family heads, knocked on the table, and said seriously, ”It’s this time and you’re still fighting amongst yourselves.”

”Whether it’s the Zhang Family or the Li Family, isn’t it our Deceitful King Faction’s strength that’s being diminished?”

”Now, that kid from the Xu Family has entered Peng City, and the Xu Family’s research results have probably fallen into Yang Dingguo’s hands.”

”What I want to see is the Xu Family’s research results, not an internal fight.”

”If everyone is fighting internally every day, what’s the point of forming the Deceitful King Faction?”

”As the Ghost Leader of the Deceitful King Faction, my purpose is to seek benefits for everyone.”

”You all should know, I never wanted to be this Ghost Leader; I’m not interested in the position.”

Upon hearing the Ghost Leader’s words, the family heads present all rolled their eyes.

Everyone thought, if you don’t want to be Ghost Leader, then step down and let us take a turn.

After saying this, the Ghost Leader crossed his arms inside his sleeves, squinted slightly, and looked at everyone with a fake smile, ”Let’s hear everyone’s opinions!”

”What should we do next?”

The family heads looked at each other, but no one stepped forward to be the first to speak.

Clearly, our Ghost Leader isn’t in a good mood; being the first to speak up, if well-received, is fine, but if poorly, one might inevitably get scolded.

With no one stepping up, the conference room was surprisingly quiet for a moment.

At this time, Zhang Yuandong looked around. Since no one was volunteering, Zhang Yuandong would step up and take the lead.

”The Xu Family is one of our financial groups, so their research results should belong to our financial group—this is beyond doubt.”

”Everyone should be aware of what kind of person Yang Dingguo is, right? His methods are very tough, especially towards us.”

”With Yang Dingguo’s personality, wanting to get the Xu Family’s research results back is almost impossible.”

As Zhang Yuandong was speaking, the Ghost Leader raised a hand, interrupting him, ”There’s no need to say what’s already understood, just tell us if you have a brilliant plan!”

Zhang Yuandong stepped forward and addressed the others present, ”Since we can’t get the Xu Family’s research results from Peng City or from Yang Dingguo’s hands.”

”Then how about we take Peng City directly?”

”I think, with all our power, if we exert our connections to have Emperor Dragon City reassign Yang Dingguo from Peng City and then replace him with one of our own, that shouldn’t be a problem.”

”Once our person replaces Yang Dingguo and gains control of Peng City’s official power, won’t it be easy to deal with Lin Yuan?”

After Zhang Yuandong finished, a family head frowned and hesitated, ”What if, and I mean if, Yang Dingguo doesn’t step down?”

”The current official hold over cities is weak; with Yang Dingguo’s prestige in Peng City, if he doesn’t want to step down, there’s nothing we can do.”

With the accelerating eerie invasion, the connections between official cities are actually getting weaker.

Nominally, Emperor Dragon City still leads all the cities, but it doesn’t really have control.

All the cities are still fighting their own battles.

For instance, Lin’an City has become airtight under the Deceitful King Faction’s management.

”Pin a big label!”

”If Yang Dingguo won’t step down, let’s label him as not following orders and trying to divide the land for himself.”

”First ruin Yang Dingguo’s reputation, then find a way to remove him.”

”In any case, my idea is to make Peng City the second city completely controlled by our Deceitful King Faction.”

”With Lin’an City and Peng City, one south, one north, supporting each other, our Deceitful King Faction’s influence could span half of Dragon Country.” Zhang Yuandong shared his thoughts.

Upon hearing Zhang Yuandong’s idea, the Ghost Leader’s long face, like an old donkey, began to relax.

The once grim face now had a faint smile.

Zhang Yuandong made a lot of sense!

Taking over Peng City would not only regain the Xu Family’s research results.

This way, their Deceitful King Faction’s power could span from south to north.

”Let’s vote!”

”Those agreeing to the next phase of the plan to take Peng City, raise your hands!” As the Ghost Leader’s voice fell, he was the first to raise his hand.

Next was Zhang Yuandong, who proposed the plan.

Then one, two, three....

In the conference room, all forty-three voted unanimously.

The Deceitful King Faction’s next phase of the plan is to concentrate all its strength to control Peng City.

Undoubtedly, Yang Dingguo and Lin Yuan are about to face unimaginable pressures.
