"What's going on? Park Sung-woo hasn't replied to the message yet. Is he planning a rebellion?" The middle-aged man who had appeared at the South Korean conference earlier spoke up, his tone extremely impatient.
He had just sent a message to Park Sung-woo, but there was no reply; it was as if the other party was dead.
"Damn it, I think he doesn't care about the lives of his parents and children."
Instead of sending messages, he made a phone call, and to his surprise, the call was answered very quickly.
"Park Sung-woo, do you have a death wish? Don't forget your whole family is in my hands. If you dare to betray me..." The middle-aged man's words were interrupted by a voice before he could finish.
"You've got the entrance and exit reversed? I, Li Xuanzu, am giving you a chance to rephrase your words. Tell me who you are and why you're having these trash follow me, or you're going to die." Li Xuanzu wasn't about to just take the insults; he immediately retorted and quickly explained the situation.
"Li Xuanzu? Where did you put our psychics? Let them answer the phone!" Clearly, the other party was very unhappy and still didn't understand the situation.
“I’ve finished killing them all. I don’t want to repeat the question I just asked. If you’re not going to answer my question, I won’t hesitate to kill you all after I’ve finished killing the Korean zombies. You can’t escape anyway.” Li Xuanzu didn’t care how nasty the other party’s tone was, since he had no intention of letting the other party live anyway.
As for the reason, he had already said it before: kill if you want to. If you need a reason for everything, what's the point of living?
"Hmph, my name is Lee Jae-ryong, the leader of the S Group, one of the six major conglomerates in South Korea. Lee Jae-ryong, the organization they formed is only observing you, not intending to attack you." Lee Jae-ryong was unsure whether the other party could truly eliminate the entire team of seven third-tier psychic energy users.
But it's always good to be careful. Judging from Li Xuanzu's energetic tone, he doesn't seem to have been hurt. If I keep a low profile, the other party shouldn't do anything too outrageous.
"Alright, make your final arrangements. After I've dealt with the situation in Korea, it'll be your turn." After saying that, Li Xuanzu crushed the phone in his hand.
It wasn't that he didn't want to reply to the message, but the phone had a lock screen password. If Lee Jae-ryong hadn't called, he wouldn't have been able to contact the South Korean side.
“You…” Lee Jae-ryong was stunned. Lee Hyun-jo was not a normal person at all, and he was also furious.
"I don't believe you alone can stand against the entire country!" Lee Jae-ryong had been pampered since childhood, and everyone treated him with utmost respect. Lee Hyun-jo was the first person who dared to speak to him like that.
He couldn't stand this humiliation, so he immediately summoned the leaders of the other five major groups in South Korea for a meeting about Li Xuanzu.
But Lee Jae-ryong had been running his own group for many years, and instead of declining, it was thriving. He couldn't possibly be a fool, so he kept a watchful eye on him.
"Everyone, that supporter from the Dragon Kingdom is too arrogant. I finally managed to get in touch with him, but I was scolded instead. Either go to Huang Jianshu from the Dragon Kingdom and demand an explanation, or find a way to keep him here forever." Li Zailong appeared angry, but in reality, he kept observing the expressions of the people around him.
He deliberately concealed the fact that the psionic team had lost contact, attempting to let the other factions fight each other with Li Xuanzu while he sat back and watched the tigers fight, hoping to reap the benefits.
“They’re showing such disrespect to our Chairman Li, we have to teach them a lesson,” a slightly younger man said.
As for why Lee Jae-yong is called "Chairman", it's because these groups also have another name, "Company", and the leader is naturally called "Chairman".
He seemed to be following along blankly, but in reality he was being sarcastic. Young people are bound to be a bit aggressive, especially those who have inherited their fathers' businesses at a young age and haven't experienced the harsh realities of society.
In fact, no one believed Lee Jae-ryong's words.
At least not entirely.
If one simply follows others' opinions, one cannot control such a large group. Moreover, Li Xuanzu, who came to the Korean Kingdom as support, cannot be a useless person who can be killed at will.
Lee Jae-ryong ignored the young man's sarcasm and continued recounting Lee Hyun-jo's "crimes".
“Alright, since our psionicists haven’t sent back any information for so long, they’ve most likely been murdered. Everyone knows who the killer is. There’s no need to treat everyone like fools. Nobody’s going to be your pawn.” An old man with a full head of white hair spoke up.
He is Choi Kwang-hyun, the leader of G Group, the second largest conglomerate in South Korea. His relationship with Lee Jae-ryong is not only like fire and water, but the two never give each other a friendly look when they meet.
Lee Jae-ryong wasn't embarrassed that his true thoughts had been exposed. After all, everyone present was in the same boat. If they wanted to survive a few more days, they could only stick together for warmth or push a few scapegoats.
