Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 478 - 477: Asura

And the more it is like this, the more public opinion will push the matter of closing the New Horizon Capital branch school to the forefront. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Nalan Yuanshu couldn’t sit still at this time. He did use his privilege, but the pressure was unprecedented.

He didn’t expect the opponent’s counterattack to be so sharp.

"Feng Qingyang, what do you say we should do? Aren’t you making me set myself on fire?"

Feng Qingyang remained calm and unruffled. He said slowly, "Alright, don’t worry. What you need now is to withstand the pressure and prevent other local TV stations from broadcasting similar programs anymore. Also, close down New Horizon in various places."

"Do you think that’s possible?"

"Why not? With the power of your Nalan Family, it’s just a matter of words, isn’t it?"

Feng Qingyang smiled.

"But if it doesn’t succeed, our losses..."

"Don’t worry, the other matter is almost settled. With them, Gu Xiaoqing will definitely hand over the South Asia business to me. By that time, your Nalan Family won’t lack its share."

Feng Qingyang looked jubilant and confident.

"Alright."

The Nalan Family continued to operate, ordering local TV stations to stop broadcasting programs related to New Horizon and immediately close New Horizon branch schools in various locations.

Originally, as a powerful family, the Nalan Family should have firmly taken down New Horizon.

But what Nalan Yuanshu didn’t expect, and what Feng Qingyang also didn’t anticipate, was that New Horizon was still operating properly.

The TV stations were still reporting fiercely, as if their words were just a fart.

Apart from the Capital branch school, even the Hai City branch wasn’t closed. Nalan Yuanshu went to Hai City several times, hoping to close New Horizon.

But he found out that his people acknowledged it, yet the problematic mayor didn’t buy the Nalan Family’s account!

"As a major taxpayer in our city, New Horizon has made enormous contributions in charity and poverty alleviation. Closing it? Don’t even think about it!"

This was the response Nalan Yuanshu got.

Almost every place gave a similar response, and Gu Xiaoqing’s strong local protection was something he found truly unshakable.

Even though Nalan Yuanshu dealt with a few people who protected New Horizon by removing them, he discovered he couldn’t shake New Horizon’s protection.

This left Nalan Yuanshu utterly stunned.

Ye Mingyue also admired Gu Xiaoqing’s foresight. Having earlier staged such a move, she was initially quite upset by the free summer and winter camps, but now the ’second-generation effect’ was evident.

Gu Xiaoqing even sent the few people who were removed while protecting him abroad to enjoy a comfortable life, which made many people suddenly feel more assured.

Orders from above couldn’t be carried out below.

This was the greatest difficulty Nalan Yuanshu encountered.

The most hateful part is that he couldn’t remove any more people, or he would put himself in great danger. At this moment, if he acted too much, it would bring unnecessary trouble to the Nalan Family.

At this time, the upper authorities had already made a decision.

The matter of New Horizon had already escalated. Personnel was dispatched to investigate the entire matter, including the New Horizon branch schools and accounts, and they found no problems.

As a major taxpayer, there were people who were dissatisfied with New Horizon being troubled and were preparing to cancel the rectification notice, allowing New Horizon to resume classes.

Realizing that his efforts were in vain, Nalan Yuanshu nearly sought tofu to bump himself to death out of frustration.

In a fit of haste, he found Feng Qingyang and shouted angrily, "Feng Qingyang, what are you doing? Look at now, the higher-ups are already very dissatisfied with us. Do you want our Nalan Family to not be able to last in the country?"

"Why panic? You yourself don’t measure up to Gu Xiaoqing, and you come here to blame me?"

Feng Qingyang looked at Nalan Yuanshu, speaking disdainfully.

"You’re the one who told me to do this!"

Nalan Yuanshu was immediately dissatisfied. Clearly, it was Feng Qingyang who told him to use his connections to shut down New Horizon, so how did it become his fault for not measuring up to Gu Xiaoqing?

Feng Qingyang laughed mockingly, "Ha, it’s a good thing I had a backup plan. Relying only on what the Nalan Family is capable of, I don’t see it lasting three years before being driven out by Gu Xiaoqing. Honestly, I don’t know what the Hongdao Group was thinking, choosing you guys?"

"Feng Qingyang!"

Nalan Yuanshu roared, eyes wide open, staring at Feng Qingyang.

"What? Want to make a move?"

Feng Qingyang asked with a light chuckle.

"If you don’t want to leave here horizontally, you better speak nicely."

Nalan Yuanshu threatened Feng Qingyang.

"Is that so?"

As soon as Feng Qingyang finished speaking, an icy metallic touch was already at Nalan Yuanshu’s throat.

Nalan Yuanshu was dumbfounded.

He hadn’t settled accounts with Gu Xiaoqing for getting shot last time, and now this again?

"Lizard, get rid of him, give the Nalan Family a small warning." Feng Qingyang spoke easily, but to Nalan Yuanshu’s ears, it was like a sudden thunderclap.

"No, no, Young Master Feng..."

Before Nalan Yuanshu could say anything to plead, he found that he couldn’t speak anymore as he felt warm blood flowing down his neck, then he knew nothing more.

"Dispose of him."

Feng Qingyang said softly.

"Rest assured, boss, we’ll clean it up nicely. Also, the matter over there has already been resolved."

A small, thin man didn’t even look at the ice-cold body of Nalan Yuanshu, merely reporting to Feng Qingyang.

"Has the Loser arrived?"

"Hmm, rest assured, the world’s highest-paid killer will surely take down the Blood Rose this time."

The man known as Lizard replied.

The bounty he referred to naturally included both official bounty amounts and various wealthy individuals’ bounties on the underground black market combined in some ranking.

As a killer, to have so many people after one’s life is a legend in itself.

"You’re hunting the Fang Family people with the ripper, no problem, right? Don’t underestimate Fang Shaohan, you’ve crossed paths with him and know his prowess."

Feng Qingyang lit a cigarette, blew smoke rings, and mumbled.

"Rest assured, this time he won’t escape from me. Besides, I’ve brought along a helper, capable of eradicating them to the greatest extent."

Lizard said.

"Oh? Who?"

Feng Qingyang asked with mild interest.

"The Priest."

"The one who rivalled Asura and was hailed as a myth in your circle, The Priest?"

Feng Qingyang, though not knowing much, knew that a decade ago, the highest killer bounty was nonsense. At that time, the two universally acknowledged most dangerous individuals were one Asura and the other The Priest.

Both of them had legendary exploits, even proclaiming Asura as the number one, simply because in the Amazon Forest, he effortlessly wiped out over a hundred fully armed marine corps members, and in less than three seconds, eliminated the top U.S. special forces soldier of that time.

The Priest, on the other hand, had assassinated no fewer than a dozen political figures under the protection of numerous troops, earning him the nickname of a perverted enemy of the legion.

Sadly, the two never had a confrontation.

Later, Asura disappeared, and The Priest also vanished.
