Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 853: After the modification: Chapter 847 Xiangjiang Changes

Sima Lingyun’s eyes gleamed with cold light. Now that Wang Quan was dead, it didn’t mean that this matter was over. Since the Wang Family or the Heavenly God were so eager to kill Wang Quan, it meant that Wang Quan must have known something about the Wang Family or the Heavenly God, and that’s why they couldn’t let him live.

He used this to make the Wang Family and the Heavenly God mistakenly believe that the person killed this morning was someone from the Yanhuang Group in disguise, not the real Wang Quan.

After all, there were only ten seconds for the guard change, which was too tight. The expert who broke into Yanhuang Group might be able to kill Wang Quan, but it didn’t mean that he had time to verify if the dead Wang Quan was the real one.

As long as they heard this news, the Yang Family or the Heavenly God would definitely send people to confirm whether Wang Quan was dead or not. Then he could capture them in one fell swoop, follow the clues, and find out everything.

”Understood, Leader, I will take care of this matter properly.”

Hearing Sima Lingyun’s words, Jiao Long nodded heavily. Without saying another word, he turned around and walked towards Thousand Faces’ residence.

Sima Lingyun said nothing more. After thinking for a moment, he turned and walked outside. With such a big incident, he naturally had to talk to Lu Tianxing. After all, the two of them were in a partnership now.

Meanwhile, far away in Xiangjiang, Rose had almost finished cleansing the Underworld. With the Zhao Family’s forces cooperating with the Huang Family, the two joined forces like a rampant beast, rampaging through the Underworld in Xiangjiang. In a short time, the Zhao Family had already occupied half of the Underworld’s power in Xiangjiang.

The name Rose echoed throughout Xiangjiang amidst the bloody storm, and the name Black Widow instilled fear in countless people. Because when Rose made a move, she left no survivors and showed no mercy.

Anyone who dared to disobey was killed without exception.

This was Rose’s only command during her time in Xiangjiang. If you didn’t submit, didn’t follow her orders, she wouldn’t waste words with you; she would just kill you, making an example out of you.

With her iron-fisted methods, Rose also kept her promise by dividing the conquered territories among other forces, letting the Zhao Family and Huang Family split them evenly. With these successive actions, Rose’s position in Xiangjiang became increasingly stable, almost unshakable.

Moreover, the Zhao Family’s power grew stronger and stronger. Ever since Rose announced that they could annex other forces at will, everyone within the Zhao Family’s territory seemed to be on a stimulant, frantically expanding their power, striving to annex other forces, hoping to catch Rose’s eye.

They knew very well that Rose couldn’t stay in Xiangjiang forever, and Zhao Long was already old. Rose would inevitably choose the next true ruler of Xiangjiang. If they could catch Rose’s eye, they would become the kings of the Underworld in Xiangjiang, able to cover the sky with one hand.

Of course, Rose was aware of their thoughts, but she said nothing, nor did she express any stance. Instead, she coldly watched these people compete and fight. She did indeed need to find a new representative in Xiangjiang, but she didn’t want a stagnant Xiangjiang; stagnation meant no competition. Only with competition could strength be forged.

The Yama Palace had just been established, and it needed to absorb more elites. For a force to rise, elite strength was indispensable. Just like the Yue Army and the Qi Family Army in ancient times, they were the best examples. One could match ten, that was true strength.

Only through competition can there be motivation. That was Rose’s plan, to have these people compete, and in competition, their strength would be enhanced.

At this moment, Rose wasn’t staying in the villa that the Huang Family had prepared for her, but had come to Zhao Long’s villa.

”Hall Master, welcome to my humble abode. May I ask what brings you here today?”

Zhao Long stood there respectfully, looking at Rose sitting on the sofa. Even though Rose was very beautiful, Zhao Long didn’t dare show any disrespect. The events in Xiangjiang during this period had made him fully aware of Rose’s methods. In all his years, he had never seen a woman with such terrifying means, suppressing the entirety of Xiangjiang so thoroughly.

If this woman were placed in ancient times, she might very well become the next Wu Zetian.

As this thought flashed through Zhao Long’s mind, his expression became even more respectful.

”Hehe, Uncle Long, you’re too polite. I have to thank you for all your help during this time.”

Rose’s lips curled into a smile as she got straight to the point: ”Uncle Long, you should have guessed why I’m here today. I’m not from Xiangjiang, and I might leave at any time. Before I leave, I want to ask you, who do you think is the most suitable to be the next representative in Xiangjiang?”

Upon hearing Rose’s words, Zhao Long’s body trembled, and a look of contemplation appeared on his face. ”Hall Master, to be frank, if you’re looking to the Zhao Family’s former territory for the next representative, I can only say that it’s a waste of effort. These people were the heads of the Zhao Family’s old forces, but they’re already old. Their ambition has long been worn down. More importantly, they weren’t cultivated by you, so there is no loyalty. Frankly, once you leave Xiangjiang in the future, they might be the first to betray you.”

Rose nodded, looking at Zhao Long as she asked, ”So, Uncle Long, what’s your suggestion...?”

Zhao Long took a deep breath and slowly said, ”Cultivate new talents. Young people have drive, and calves aren’t afraid of tigers. These people are the true backbone of a force. If you trust me, leave the task of cultivating new talents to me. Within five years, I’ll ensure a true representative of Xiangjiang will emerge.”

There was a trace of fervor in Zhao Long’s tone, and a hint of fanaticism in his cloudy eyes. He was old, unsure of how many years he had left, but if he could cultivate a true overlord of Xiangjiang, he would have succeeded. In the future, even if he died, his name would be engraved in Xiangjiang’s Underworld, remembered by all. To him, money and power were no longer important; what mattered was his legacy.

”Uncle Long, your idea isn’t bad, but your health...” Rose hesitated, not directly rejecting Zhao Long’s proposal.

”Hall Master, don’t worry. As long as I’m alive, I’ll certainly train a true representative for you,” Zhao Long said, his eyes gleaming.

Rose nodded and said, ”Then I’ll trouble you, Uncle Long. However, the matter of the representative cannot be taken lightly; it must go through stringent selection. I don’t want a traitor to emerge one day.”

Hearing this, a sinister gleam flashed in Zhao Long’s eyes as he said, ”Hall Master, rest assured. If the future representative harbors any rebellious thoughts, you won’t need to intervene. I’ll personally handle it.”

”Very well, then I’ll rely on you, Uncle Long.”

Rose nodded, took a deep breath, and said, ”Uncle Long, send a message to everyone, informing them of a meeting. They must arrive at Lotus Apartment by ten o’clock. Anyone who doesn’t show up need never come again.”

”Understood.”

Zhao Long nodded.

”Alright, Uncle Long, I’ll leave the matters of Xiangjiang to you. I’m off to Lotus Apartment now. I’ll visit you again when I have time.”

With that, Rose stood up and walked towards the outside.

Zhao Long followed her to the door, watching her get into the car before turning around and walking back into the villa.
