Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 326 - 328: The Emperor’s Fury, One Million Corpses [2/7]
"Boundless Corporation is currently one of the top three corporations in the South, and it has too many subsidiaries. Everyone, split up and attack!"
"Yes, kill them! Kill them all and show the Sword Emperor our sincerity!"
"Only then will we be spared when the Sword Emperor comes south."
In the dark night, members of minor gangs like the Giant Whale Gang shrieked incessantly. The leader of the gang, Great Whale, and some of his disciples were ecstatic. They knew the Sword Emperor was watching the live broadcast, and they were desperate to show him their sincerity. Perhaps the Sword Emperor would take them in as subordinates. In their eyes, even becoming his lapdogs would increase their worth a hundredfold.
「At this moment, inside a subsidiary office」
The security guards here were just ordinary men. All the other employees had fled, but Lin Fa remained, still processing a document. He hadn’t sent it to his email yet, hadn’t saved it. If this file were lost, the subsidiary would lose tens of millions. Wu Tian had given him this opportunity, and Qin Yuhan had given him her trust. Lin Fa was determined to live by the principle that a man will die for one who appreciates him.
A security guard rushed back into the office. "Hurry, you have to go! We got a notice that a mob is burning, pillaging, and killing at all the major subsidiaries. If you don’t leave now, you’ll die here!"
"You guys go on ahead," Lin Fa said, still focused on his work. Some might call him a fool, but he was resolute.
Some people are never understood by the ordinary, who consider them fools. Yet, who can say? If everyone understood you, how mundane you must be. The extraordinary are often misunderstood. Edison was once seen as a lunatic, and people once called Einstein an idiot. To call someone a fool or braindead before seeing the outcome is, itself, an act of irrationality.
"Why... why won’t you leave?" The security guard couldn’t comprehend Lin Fa’s actions.
"Because I believe that as long as it hasn’t been more than a day, the boss will have a way to fix this. I believe he must have left a contingency in place so that we don’t all get wiped out," Lin Fa said through gritted teeth, his eyes blazing with anger. "Do those people think they can rebel and do whatever they want just because Wu Tian isn’t in Yang City? The truth will show them what a foolish thing they’ve done. The people they think they’ve killed will rise again."
As he spoke, Lin Fa clenched his jaw so tightly his teeth audibly ground together. Even as he talked, his hands never stopped typing. "You know, when I first heard that someone was targeting Boundless Corporation, I wanted to rush off to protect the boss’s family. But I know that if any of those people dare to go there, they’re just seeking their own death."
...But the Giant Whale Gang and the others never went to Wu Tian’s other subsidiaries, which meant they never reached the company where Lin Fa was. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
When they had split up earlier, they suffered devastating casualties. The forces of the Qinghe Cui Clan, Xiao Tianzan’s soldiers, and Xiao Liang’s Wei Elite Infantry had decimated the smaller sects like the Giant Whale Gang and scattered them into disarray.
Their remaining members gathered together, their faces pale as they gasped for breath. Great Whale felt particularly fortunate; if he hadn’t fled so quickly, Gulimei would have killed him. He fumed. How can a mere celebrity be so powerful? Her Tai Chi has reached the realm of Out of Body and Into the Divine.
"Sword Emperor, O great Sword Emperor, tell us what we should do now!" Great Whale panicked. He couldn’t believe that even in Wu Tian’s absence from Yang City, the Qinghe Cui Clan and the others remained so loyal to him. If this dragged on any longer, Great Whale was certain that powers like the Qinghe Cui Clan would annihilate them all.
「In Longjing」
The Sword Emperor sat quietly. Without even turning his head, he asked indifferently, "Does anyone have a good suggestion?"
Suddenly, a voice piped up, "My lord Sword Emperor, I have a suggestion."
"And you are?"
"Wang Tiandao, eldest grandson of the legitimate line of the Taiyuan Wang Clan."
That name... The representatives from the northern Jianghu sects and noble families couldn’t help but frown. They felt the Taiyuan Wang Clan was truly arrogant to give their grandson such a name.
Heavenly Dao?
The Sword Emperor said coldly, "What is your suggestion?"
"You can send them to Wu Tian’s house," Wang Tiandao said, his voice trembling with excitement. The Sword Emperor, the mighty first of the Seven Saints of Dragon Country, was asking for *his* suggestion. Thrilled, he continued joyfully, "Wu Tian isn’t there now; only his mother and wife are home. We can have the Giant Whale Gang and the others go and kill them."
"A good suggestion," the Sword Emperor nodded, his eyes merciless.
Innocent? To the Sword Emperor, anyone who stood against him deserved death. The question of innocence was irrelevant.
The Sword Attendants contacted the members of the Giant Whale Gang to convey the Sword Emperor’s decision.
"Everyone, I have good news for you!" Great Whale looked ecstatically at his disciples and the leaders and members of the other small sects. "The Sword Emperor himself has given us a suggestion! Do you all know what that represents? If we handle this matter well, the Sword Emperor will surely reward us. From now on, we will be aligned with him!"
The other gang leaders’ eyes widened in crazed joy, and they began shouting and cheering.
"So, what is the Sword Emperor’s command for us?" one gang leader asked.
"Enter Wu Tian’s home, kill Wu Tian’s mother, and eliminate Wu Tian’s wife!" Great Whale bellowed.
The gang leaders froze for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Their disciples, however, furrowed their brows, feeling that this might be going too far.
"Kill!" Great Whale and the other leaders roared.
The disciples could only comply. Drenched in blood, they made their way toward Wu Tian’s house.
「Longjing」
"To stand against me..." The corners of the Sword Emperor’s mouth curled into a ferocious smile, his gaze filled with murderous intent. "If I want you dead, you must die. To survive is to offend me... and for those who offend me, death will not come for them alone."
"The wrath of the Son of Heaven strews a million corpses!"
The Sword Emperor’s words sent a shockwave through the members of the Five Surnames and Seven Families and the Jianghu sects standing behind him.
The Son of Heaven?
Was the Sword Emperor’s ambition now being laid bare before them without any reservation? What did this mean? It meant the Sword Emperor was about to make his move to complete his conquest. They clenched their fists, eager to follow his lead. If they did, becoming founding vassals who followed the dragon was well within their grasp.
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP!
Great Whale led everyone through back alleys instead of the main roads, fearing they would be spotted by forces like the Qinghe Cui Clan.
"Wu Tian’s house is just ahead!" someone suddenly shouted, pointing to a two-story building.
Hearing this, Great Whale was overjoyed, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Good! Good! Good!" He turned to the men behind him. "Brothers, riches and glory are right in front of us! Once we are the Sword Emperor’s men, where in this vast world can we not go? As for Wu Tian? We don’t need to fear him. With the Sword Emperor’s protection, he won’t dare touch us. After we kill them, we’ll head for Longjing. When we return one day with the Sword Emperor, His Excellency might just hand over the entire Martial Arts World of the South to our control!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
A thrill shot through the hearts of many. They felt as if their path in life had suddenly become glorious, that hope was right before their eyes.
Their pace quickened. It was 3:49 in the morning, and Murong Yezi and Qin Yuhan were sound asleep.
But Little Qilin and Little Phoenix sensed something, and their eyes snapped open.
