My Scheming Little Devil

"The transactions between these people all went through his hands, and since he knew too many people’s secrets, they couldn’t break free from the organizational network he controlled. And with him helping out, he naturally put them in his debt. When he needed them, they couldn’t refuse to help.

So, even though he didn’t have direct power, he controlled the power of others. Whenever he wanted, he could use any member of the organization to serve his interests. That was the reason for his strength. As the organization expanded, many of its members came from the top echelons of power and wealth in their countries. His influence now penetrated deeply into many countries in Asia and Africa, making him an unseen dark ruler."

Third Young Master Jun paused before suddenly asking her, "Do you know about the financial crises in X country and North Africa that caused such a stir?"

Ye Lu was shocked, her eyes wide, "You’re not suggesting he orchestrated it, are you? How is that possible? The economy of a whole country—he has that kind of power to turn things upside down?"

Third Young Master Jun stroked her head, seeing her still unavoidably naive and couldn’t help but laugh, "What do you know? In this world, there are many dark dealings you simply wouldn’t believe exist. Even in this advanced age, there are a few at the top of the food chain who control the ordinary masses below, strip away their money, it’s just that their methods are too covert for you to notice.

Those two crises were orchestrated by him in collaboration with the tycoons in the organization, using various means to short-sell and hype up the economic bubbles in those regions, and after a large-scale sweep of the wealth, they pulled out, leaving the countries devastated by the financial crises, regressing their economies by a decade, with massive losses and countless investors committing suicide by jumping off buildings."

Ye Lu took a sharp inhale of cold air, her heart trembling as she listened.

There really were such dark and terrible things in the world, a country’s financial crisis could be controlled by one person, the life and death authority over a nation’s economy could be invisibly controlled.

Her skin crawled as she felt shivers running down her spine.

She had read in some economic reports that the global financial crises were orchestrated by powerful multinational corporations and financial groups, but she didn’t believe it—how could such powerful forces exist in the world.

But with Su Feiman’s approach, with so many powerful and wealthy people’s power in his hands, uniting them—if he wanted to target a country’s economy, it was indeed possible, and seemed as easy as playing a game.

This godfather Su Feiman, skillful in exploiting human nature, master of commanding the powerful, was too terrifying.

Seeing the shock on Ye Lu’s face, Third Young Master Jun sighed, "So now you know how terrifying the godfather is, the power he holds, how inconceivable."

"What is his purpose?" Ye Lu was curious. What did such a person want to achieve by doing all this?

"Purpose?"

The depth in Third Young Master Jun’s eyes was as dark and cold as a deep pool, brimming with endless sarcasm, "Such a thing doesn’t exist. With the godfather, you can never perceive him with the mindset of a normal person. I think he simply enjoys the success and the sense of achievement that comes with controlling the fates of many."

Such a heartlessly cruel person, Ye Lu brooded—the way he toyed with others and controlled them for fun was practically no different from a madman.

"He may control others, but don’t think for a moment he can control me, Jun Huang!" Third Young Master Jun’s voice was strong and assertive.
