"The underworld today is really not as good as it used to be." Old Man Rong shook his head: "It's ridiculous for me to see a group of kids coming to the fore. I lament for the underworld today, and also for myself. I feel embarrassed that a hundred-year-old man has to compete with a nineteen-year-old kid for the title of king of the underworld." He smiled bitterly, his tone full of sarcasm and ridicule.
"Damn it, what's wrong with the kid?" Brick said angrily, "Didn't I beat your male lover to death anyway?"
I wanted to remind Brick that he was not a male concubine but Mr. Rong's personal bodyguard, but I felt it was not appropriate at this time.
"That's right..." Old Master Rong said, "In the final analysis, I just refuse to admit that I'm old, and I shouldn't look at you young people with tinted glasses. The world is ours, and yours, but in the final analysis, it's still yours. Even if I win the battle, I will lose to time."
"What do you mean by 'you and us'?" Brick said, "Wang Hao, I'll go beat this old man to death with a brick."
"Wait a minute, I still have something to ask him." I continued to look at Mr. Rong: "So, everything you told me was a lie? Including the 'heir to the king of the underworld'?"
"What do you think?" Old Master Rong looked at me with disdain. "Why should I hand over the foundation I worked so hard to build to you? You are not my son. I have said those words not only to you, but also to Miao Chenjiang and Ma Weishan. You have been played around by me and are willing to be manipulated and used by me. In the final analysis, you are just too greedy."
"You are wrong." Ye Zhan said, "The reason Haozi was manipulated by you is not because he is too greedy, but because he trusts you too much."
“So…” I sighed, “You’ve been lying to me from the beginning. You’ve helped me so many times, all for today.”
"Nonsense, if I don't give you a little sweet treat, will you trust me so much?" Old Master Rong sneered, "You see, the plan has been successful. If the three of you city lords fight, the result will inevitably be that all three lose. Only I have retained my strength intact. It will be as easy as taking candy from the king of the underworld. All of you will be trampled under my feet."
"I don't understand." I shook my head: "I don't understand. Mr. Rong, you only have half a year to live, why..."
“Don’t mention this to me!” Mr. Rong suddenly widened his eyes: “I won’t die, I won’t die!”
I shut my mouth. I understood. This man was crazy. His desire for power had transcended everything. I said coldly, "Since you confessed everything, you must be prepared to die. You are a senior in the underworld. Logically, I should not use force against you. However, what you did has reached the point of angering the heavens and the people. Have you ever thought that this melee would cause rivers of blood to flow in Beiyuan and corpses to float everywhere? This is truly a heinous crime that is unforgivable. Brick, do it."
Brick held a brick in his hand and walked towards Mr. Rong. But Mr. Rong smiled and said, "Rivers of blood? Corpses floating everywhere? This is exactly what I want. If you don't die, how can I take over? How can I regain control of the Beiyuan underworld?"
Brick walked up to him, raised the brick and was about to hit him.
"No!" Ye Zhan suddenly shouted.
Brick turned around and looked at him strangely: "What's wrong?"
"Ask him first...where are my parents..." Ye Zhan's voice trembled.
Brick and I were both shocked. I said, "He kidnapped your parents?!"
Ye Zhan nodded, hatred flashing in his eyes. This boy who always brought sunshine to others rarely showed such an expression. I looked at Mr. Rong angrily: "Where is he? Tell me!" When Su Beibei called me, she only said that Ye Zhan was trapped here, and did not tell me the reason.
"Speak!" Brick grabbed Mr. Rong by the collar and said viciously, "Believe it or not, I will knock out your teeth one by one!"
"Stay away from me." Old Master Rong said coldly: "Ye Zhan's parents are in my hands. Believe it or not, I only need to knock the floor twice with my crutch, and his parents will be beheaded immediately?" He rested his hands on the handle of the crutch. Could it be that Ye Zhan's parents were underground?
"No need to guess." Old Master Rong said, "On my side, there are codes for everything. There are codes for entering my door, calling people out, and killing hostages. So, you'd better get out of the way quickly, otherwise Ye Zhan's parents will be in danger."
I remembered the first time I came to Mr. Rong's house, there was indeed a secret code when I entered and knocked on the door, which was enough to prove that what Mr. Rong said was true. Brick still grabbed Mr. Rong's collar, but he didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that he would accidentally kill Ye Zhan's parents. I gritted my teeth and said, "Come here." Brick had no choice but to come over angrily and stand by my side again.
I exhaled and said, "Mr. Rong, as long as you release Ye Zhan's parents, I will also spare your life, how about that?"
"Hey, now is not the time for you to bargain with me." Old Master Rong said, "Don't you understand now? Victory is already in my hands. Now there is a melee in the south and north of the city. After the melee is over, the underworld will definitely be reshuffled, and my power will become the strongest. Recovering the North Garden underworld is simply a piece of cake. Why haven't you figured this out yet?"
"Okay." I said, "Mr. Rong, I won't fight with you for the position of the king of the underworld. I just hope you can let Ye Zhan's parents go."
"Hehe, you said you don't want to fight? Do you think I will believe you?" Old Master Rong said with a sneer.
"Then what exactly do you want in exchange for letting Ye Zhan's parents go?"
