Chapter 796 - Crushing Defeat

Chapter 796: Crushing Defeat

That was the time Su Yang was closest to death.

If Qu Xuan had not informed Su Yang beforehand that someone was plotting against the latter, allowing Su Yang and the little monsters to be mentally prepared, Su Yang might really have been in trouble that day.

That time, the [Eye Of Origins] did not trigger, this time as well.

Hence, this made Su Yang acutely sense the weakness of this Silver Ability.

When he first obtained this ability, Su Yang felt that this ability had a trace of “divinity” because it was an ability that allowed its users to be informed when others said their “name”, which was too similar to the ability that only immortals such as Buddhas, and devils would have.

Unexpectedly, in this era, technology could achieve a similar effect, and because of this, their own abilities were being rendered null by the enemy.

This gave Su Yang a headache.

He felt that perhaps only by strengthening this ability could he prevent such things from happening again.

However, it was not easy to enhance this ability, which was A-Ranked. So, in order to enhance it, Su Yang would need a specific Prize Voucher or a Silver Point.

However, Su Yang’s Silver Points were not extravagant enough to allow him to add points for his Silver Ability. Therefore, for a moment, he could only ponder… ‘Can I use some special items to enhance it, or… make up for this ability’s weakness?’

At that thought, Su Yang had an idea.

However, he still needed to plan it according to Little Hus’s nose, so It was not something that could be done in a short time…

Putting aside the matter of strengthening his ability temporarily, Su Yang decided to deal with Wang Dong and the Wangs first.

Su Yang sat on the chair and his gaze swept across the few little monsters sitting beside him. In the end, his gaze landed on Little Deeny and he asked, “Little Deeny, have you found where those people from the Wangs are staying?”

Little Deeny nodded her head and quickly reported a series of locations. Perhaps she was afraid that Su Yang did not hear her clearly, so she waved her hand and a virtual interface with these locations appeared before Su Yang.

Su Yang looked at the screen and pondered for a while. Then, without any change in his expression, he said, “Send a few little monsters out to capture them.”

When Little Deeny heard what Su Yang said, he was surprised. “Master, is this good? Won’t this cross the line that Jiang Yan mentioned?”

Su Yang shook his head. “No.”

He then explained, “That line has only been defined to be against me, Wang Jiang and the core members from both parties. So, it has nothing to do with the underlings.

“Since the Wangs can make a move on Wang Dong, then we could very well make a move on these people from the Wangs.

“It’s an equal revenge.

“If they had not taken the first initiative, we would not have been able to counter them.

“Hence, no one can find fault with this.”

After saying that, Su Yang drew a few locations and said to Little Deeny, “Get the Clown Sea Serpent and the rest to come back. Each of them will be responsible for one location. Anyone captured is to be thrown into the castle’s dungeon and locked up.

“I’ll be in charge of the one in the Imperial Capital.”

After giving out the orders, the little monsters left.

Very quickly, in less than 20 minutes, a total of 28 men in black from six teams were captured. Among them was also the middle-aged man who had chatted with Wang Dong and Gu Tong.

From the memories of Wang Dong and the few men in black, Su Yang knew how important this person was. Therefore, he got a little monster to bring the hourglass to check his memories.

In the end, Su Yang realized that this man had some level of status in the Wangs. According to seniority, he could be considered Wang Jiang’s nephew, but they were not related by blood.

‘This man has worked for Wang Jiang for many years, so he knows many of his secrets.

‘In fact, Wang Jiang has left all of the matters for him to arrange.

‘Therefore, now that he’s caught, all of Wang Jiang’s action plans against me will now be exposed.’

Apart from that, Su Yang also learned about the information provided by those who had betrayed him.

After checking through the secrets one by one, Su Yang realized that they were all groundless accusations and practically worthless.

Of course, even though they were worthless, Su Yang still remembered the names of the people who betrayed him and decided to deal with them one by one.

However, Su Yang did not have to personally deal with these people. As long as he ordered it, his subordinates would deal with it.

Therefore, the moment Su Yang found out about their actions, their fates had been sealed.

After doing all this, Su Yang took the hourglass and went to Wang Dong’s room.

In the room, Su Yang used his [Memory Master] ability on Wang Dong and his girlfriend. He deleted what happened after they were attacked that night and placed them back in their rented apartment.

After sending them back to the rental house, Su Yang also left Shark Two by his side. After Sanque became +5, he had recovered his strength and did not need anyone to protect him anymore. Thus, now that the issue with the Wangs had not been resolved, Shark Two would temporarily protect Wang Dong to ensure his safety.

During this entire period, Su Yang never showed his face in front of Wang Dong and the rest.

Hence, in Wang Dong’s memory, other than saying “I know” to Su Yang, there was nothing else…

…

After making arrangements for Wang Dong, Su Yang pulled Little Deeny and Little Hus over to discuss how he could make up for his [Eye Of Origins].

However, to use an A-Ranked Silver Ability as the core and supplement it with other items or abilities was not an easy task.

After all, Su Yang did not have the ability to have any ability he wanted, so he could only rely on Little Hus’s nose.

Based on his understanding of Little Hus’s nose over the past few years, Su Yang knew that the more stringent and complicated the conditions were, the harder it was to find whatever he wanted. Therefore, he wanted to make this ability as simple as possible so that it would be easier to find.

The night passed uneventfully as Su Yang discussed with the other little monsters.

The next morning, Su Yang washed up and wanted to go back to his room to catch up on his sleep. However, just as he got into bed, he received an unknown call.

Looking at the location displayed on the virtual screen, Su Yang pondered for a moment before answering it.

As expected, Wang Jiang’s cheerful voice came through the phone. “Haha, Mr. Su, it’s Wang Jiang. I hope I’m not disturbing you.”

Even though their heads were about to break, they still had to pretend that nothing had happened when they were in contact. That was the rule of adults. Su Yang smiled and said, “Oh, Old Master Wang, you’re not disturbing me in fact. What’s the matter?”

Wang Jiang did not beat around the bush. He said directly, “There’s a small issue. You see, a few of my friends went missing last night and I don’t know what happened to them.”

Su Yang replied with a faint smile, “Oh, I’ve heard about it. Last night, a friend of mine seemed to have been attacked as well.”

Wang Jiang said, “I heard that he’s not your friend though.”

Su Yang replied, “I’m sorry. He is indeed my friend.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while before Wang Jiang added, “If your friend has been frightened, then I apologize. However, last night, my friends only wanted to invite your friend for tea and have them enjoy a holiday for a few days. They had no other intentions.”

Su Yang believed what Wang Jiang said.

After checking the memories of the men in black and the middle-aged man last night, Su Yang realized that he might have overthought things.

Even though the middle-aged man had given the order to follow and monitor these people, he did not give the order to get rid of the leaker.

This was also the reason why Su Yang had always been fighting and killing, the reason why he would always make the first move… He was not like the Wangs, who had clear statuses with many ways to control the people and not kill them.

For example, Wang Dong… In the memory of the man in black, he merely suspected that Wang Dong and his girlfriend were involved in a cybersecurity incident and wanted to invite them back to investigate.

However, Su Yang did not care. Although Wang Jiang had patched up all the loopholes, there was no way that Su Yang would lose out.

Therefore, he directly used Wang Jiang’s own words to reply to the latter. “Oh, I see. Then, Old Master Wang, there’s no need for you to think too much about it either. Your friends are also on a holiday and will probably be back soon.

“I’m sorry if I’ve invoncenicned you in any way.”

Then, Su Yang smiled. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be hanging up now. I was really busy last night, so I’m really tired right now.”

Su Yang hung up without waiting for Wang Jiang’s response.

…

On the second floor’s study in the Wangs’ villa in Hangzhou…

Listening to the beeping sound of the phone being hung up, Wang Jiang was so angry that he threw the phone to the ground and yelled, “D*mn! When I was working for the country, he was still inside his father’s body! How dare he talk to me like that!”

Before the table, his right-hand man and the man in uniform who had been captured earlier did not even dare breathe loudly. In fact, they even lowered their heads and did not say a word.

Wang Jiang stood up and paced around the study room several times in anger. Then, he asked the uniformed man, “Is it illegal for him to arrest someone privately? Can we apprehend him directly?”

The man raised his head with an aggrieved expression. “We don’t have any proof. I checked the video of our men’s disappearance, but I couldn’t find any clues. It’s as if they’ve disappeared into thin air.

“But…” The uniformed man hesitated before saying,” This shows that Wang Jue’s disappearance is indeed related to him. ”

Wang Jiang said angrily, “Nonsense! I already know that!”

He paced back and forth angrily in the study, his expression dark.

After a while, he sat back down in his chair angrily and waved his hand. “You may leave.”

The uniformed man nodded quickly. “Yes.”

After agreeing, the uniformed man seemed to recall something and said, “Old Master Wang, the CEO of the Gold Bull Group has been saying that he wants to meet you to thank you for handling the car company’s explosion… Do you…”

Wang Jiang waved his hand impatiently. “I’m busy.”

The uniformed man hurriedly nodded again. “Okay.”

With that, he turned and left the room.

After the man left, Wang Jiang’s face darkened. He knew that he had lost this round, he knew he had thoroughly lost.

To put it bluntly, the rules of the top circle in the country were very simple…

Use all your resources to defeat your opponent. However… You cannot directly harm or attack your opponent.

This was a derivative of a certain quote by someone from the traditional times.

As for the rest of his subordinates, he did not really care.

Therefore, when Wang Jiang made the first move, no one could find any fault with Su Yang’s counterattack. There was nothing Wang Jiang could do.

Therefore, for a moment, Wang Jiang could only silently accept this loss as he decided to fall back and replan everything…

…

Wang Jiang’s reaction was within Su Yang’s expectations.

“Hmm…

“The law is the manifestation of the will of the ruling class.”

The information and words that Su Yang obtained from the middle-aged man’s memory allowed him to understand the rules of the elite circle more and more easily.

With so many superpowers, Su Yang did not even need to use any form of violence, yet he would still be able to kill Wang Jiang easily.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yang fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already noon. Su Yang went to take a look at Little Deeny and Little Hus’s progress who had both made some progress on the requirements for this special ability.

Hence, Su Yang did not disturb them. Instead, he gave Zhao Licheng a call and told him about what happened last night. He told Zhao Licheng to take care of the people who were still “betraying” him and the employee who was still in the management agency.

However, he reminded Zhao Licheng to not have them spooked so that they would have a chance to prepare themselves.

In fact, if Su Yang was going to attack, he wanted to be ruthless so that they would not have any chance to make a comeback.

Zhao Licheng accepted the order.

After accepting the mission, Zhao Licheng took the initiative to report on his progress. After the big boss in Hangzhou received Su Yang’s information, he verified it seriously and confirmed the authenticity of the information. Hence, he also gathered some evidence and is looking for the support of his allies.”

After all, Wang Jiang’s status was too high, so he might not be able to shake Wang Jiang’s foundation alone.

However, Su Yang wasn’t in a hurry. He knew that the best was yet to have come. ‘The longer rice is cooked, the more fragrant it would be… I’m not going to be like Wang Jiang, probing, testing, and testing again. Instead, I’m looking for a permanent solution, so I’m going to settle everything once and for all.’

Su Yang chatted with Zhao Licheng for a while longer before he hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yang looked out of the window at the endless grassland and was lost in his thoughts.

What flashed past his mind were those few people who were still betraying him even after they had resigned, and… Wang Dong.

…

At the same time, Wang Dong, who did not know anything about what happened last night, was still looking at the group members from the “Resignation Team” after lunch. In fact, the group members were still mentioning him continuously. Then, he replied to the first WeChat message he received over the last few days.

‘Stop asking, everyone. I didn’t tell anyone about Mr. Su’s secret, so I didn’t receive any money.’

The moment he said that, the group chat exploded. Many people expressed their disbelief.

‘Mr. Wang, are you kidding? You didn’t take the money?’

‘I think he’s definitely joking. Wouldn’t it be nice to buy meat with all that money?’

‘Who buys meat that costs hundreds of thousands of yuan? The right thing to buy should be a house. Wouldn’t it be nice to buy a house with all that money?’

Wang Dong laughed bitterly and then typed a line of words with his hand.

‘Actually, I was very tempted as well. However, I’ve already left my job and everything about it in the past. Mr. Su has treated me well before, so I ended up not betraying him after taking this into account.’

Wang Dong’s words made the group chat quiet for a while.

Even though what he said made sense, when most of the people in the group had accepted the money, his words were harsh.

Soon, someone replied sarcastically, ‘As expected of Mr. Wang, you are all-knowing indeed. However, could you exchange that gift of yours for money?’

That person sent out the second and third message.

‘Does Mr. Su even know that you’re so “loyal” to him? Would he be able to give you money for it?

‘I’m not as all-knowing as you however. I only know that in this era, everything out there is fake, except for money.’

As he sent that last text message, he attached a photo and sent it to the group.

The picture was of a check worth $500 thousand yuan…
