"I'm Qi Yu, the Chinese person your group has been looking for.”
Wesley's expression suddenly changed when he heard the voice on the phone." You…you're the Chinese mutant my master wanted to kill!”
He didn't expect the other party to call him personally. He was even more curious about how the other party had the contact information of the person who was hiding behind the scenes.
"I need to remind you that I'm not a so-called mutated human.”
Qi Yu corrected him over the phone." Not all people who possess extraordinary powers awaken the mutated X gene.”
At this point, Qi Yu did not reveal anything else and went straight to the point," Your master, Wilson Grant Fishker, also known as Jinbing in this underground world, has been killed by me.”
" What?!"
Hearing this, Wesley was terrified, disbelief and suspicion filling his face.
He subconsciously hung up the phone and immediately called Jin Bing, but no one picked up.
With this, he already believed Qi Yu's words eighty percent.
However, under the urging of his cautious personality and strict behavior, he immediately called a few bodyguards in the gang who were more well-informed and closer to Jin Bing. The answer he got was that Mr. Jin Bing was indeed dead. He died in the underground area of the Fishker Building, just an hour ago.
"Bastard! Why didn't you tell me earlier!”
Wesley was furious. Even though he was usually gentle and refined, he couldn't help but curse.
The reason why he could be the second-in-command of the criminal empire was because he directly served the underworld emperor.
Now that Jin Bing was dead, he had no one to rely on. His status in the group was bound to be greatly reduced, especially those high-level leaders who were powerful and eyeing him covetously. They would probably start a power struggle soon and make him a sacrifice.
Jinbing's death was such an important matter, yet he, Wesley, as Jinbing's trusted aide, hadn't been notified immediately. This was enough to tell that something was amiss.
In his anger and unease, Wesley took a deep breath and summoned his courage to call Qi Yu back. After picking up, he asked,""You…what do you want?"
"Relax, I have no intention of killing you.”
On the other end of the phone, Qi Yu smiled." Otherwise, as long as I'm willing, even if you're at the ends of the earth, your head will fall to the ground in a minute.”
"Then…perhaps I should thank you for not killing me.”
Wesley's mind was very sharp. Realizing that he had lost all his power after Jin Bing's death, he began to try to curry favor with Qi Yu, the even more powerful executioner.
Since the other party took the initiative to contact him, it meant that this might be an opportunity. Not only could he save his life, but he could even soar!
"You're welcome."
Qi Yu replied politely and then continued," There's something I need to discuss with you. I'm in your villa now. I'll give you 20 minutes to come over. I won't wait until it's over."
"Good!"
Wesley thought for a moment, then quickly agreed.
He was a smart person and knew that going against such a terrifying existence would not end well. After all, the death of his " former master " Jin Bing was a living example.
Who was Jin Bing?
He was the most powerful man in the underworld of New York!
However, such a super big shot, the underworld emperor who made countless people tremble in fear, was killed by that Chinese overnight. On the other hand, to put it bluntly, he was just an assistant. What right did he have to refuse?
Or rather, why did he refuse?
"Change your schedule and go to my residence.”Wesley instructed his personal chauffeur and bodyguard in the driver's seat.
"Yes." The chauffeur was a man of few words. He did not ask any questions and turned the steering wheel to change direction.
"Can you get there in twenty minutes?" Wesley asked.
"It should be possible." The driver stepped on the accelerator and started racing in the dark.
…………
Around the eighteenth minute, the car arrived at Wesley's residential area.
Wesley opened the car door and nervously looked at his watch as he sped home. When there was only half a minute left before the time limit Qi Yu had given him, he finally arrived at the main hall of his house.
"Hu hu hu!"
Wesley panted heavily as he looked at the watch on his wrist that was worth tens of thousands of dollars. The needle hadn't moved to the last minute, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
"You're here. You're quite punctual."
Qi Yu was waiting for Wesley in the main hall. As she spoke, she poured herself a glass of red wine, then raised her glass and took a sip with relish.
To this person who could easily kill his boss, he would not dare to say anything even if the other party tore down this villa, let alone open his private collection of high-end Lafite without saying anything.
"Mr. Qi, may I know why you have come to my house?”
Wesley had also minored in Eastern culture during his university days. Qi Yu was an Asian, so he spoke in an Eastern manner.
For some reason, perhaps due to his sixth sense, Wesley wasn't as afraid of Qi Yu as he had imagined.
"I came to find you because I have something to discuss with you.”
Qi Yu took a sip of red wine and put down her glass. She raised her eyebrows and said," But before that, there's something that I need you to handle on your own.”
"What is it? Please speak!"
Wesley frowned slightly, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
"Please follow me."
Qi Yu put her hand on Wesley's shoulder and used quantum teleportation.
In the next scene, the two of them instantly teleported from the living room on the first floor to the bedroom on the second floor.
When he saw his wife lying naked on the bed in his room, and the bloody corpse of another man beside her, Wesley's face subconsciously twitched.
Then, the corners of his mouth began to tremble.
The reason why such symptoms appeared was not because of the corpse. After all, he had been in the gang for so long and had seen countless corpses that were more tragic than this. He had long become immune to it.
This was because he immediately understood that his wife had cheated on him. It was a waste of his sincerity and trust in Amanda, but she had betrayed him in his sacred bedroom!
Wesley, let me explain!"
Amanda lifted the blanket and jumped down, kneeling in front of Wesley, begging with a sorrowful expression,""I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. If there's a next time, you can punish me however you want!”
Amanda hugged Wesley's knees and sobbed with tears streaming down her face. Her delicate makeup was ruined by her crying.
"You have three minutes. Deal with this matter properly."
Qi Yu then left the bedroom and closed the door." I'll wait for you in the living room downstairs."”
In the bedroom, Wesley stood there, looking down at his wife, who was hugging his knees and begging for forgiveness.
Tears began to appear at the corner of his eyes.
Very quickly, his eyes revealed a few complicated emotions.
"Sigh…"
Wesley sighed deeply.
Tonight, Jin Bing died first, and then his wife cheated on him. These two events were a heavy blow to him.
However, his rationality told him that he could not collapse in the face of such a blow. He had to be strong!
"Amanda, our marriage ends here.”
"From tonight onwards, I, James Wesley, will no longer be the same person as before.”
As he spoke, Wesley pulled out a black pistol from his suit and aimed it at his wife, Amanda's heart.
Amanda's eyes widened, and she wanted to beg for mercy.
Unfortunately, Wesley, who had hardened his heart, didn't give her that chance.
"Bang!"
Gunshots rang out, and Amanda fell into a pool of blood with a face full of unwillingness and a hint of regret before she died.
……………………
In the living room on the first floor of the villa.
"Have you settled the matter?"
Qi Yu asked calmly when she saw Wesley coming down the stairs with a perplexed look in his eyes.
"Yes."
Wesley nodded. As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off his fingers." I'm sorry. It's been a long time since I've personally killed someone, so I'm a little rusty.”
Hearing this, Qi Yu chuckled and pointed to the table and chairs at the side."Have a seat."
Wesley sat down obediently.
" No matter how gentle and refined you look on the outside, you have to be ruthless when it's time to attack. This is the quality that a qualified new leader should have.”
It had to be said that Wesley was very smart.
When he heard Qi Yu's words, he instantly caught the key message in his words," A qualified new leader."
"So, you want me to take over Jin Bing's position?" he asked with a slight frown.”
"Not bad." Qi Yu nodded. He liked to talk to smart people. This way, he did not need to waste his breath. The conversation between the two sides was often concise and comprehensive, and it was to the point.
"May I ask why you chose me?”Wesley asked curiously. He wasn't sure why the other party wanted him to be the new leader of the Fishker Syndicate.
" Jin Bing is dead. I believe that once this news spreads, the entire underground world of New York will fall into chaos, especially in Hell's Kitchen, which is at the center of the chaotic vortex.”
"At that time, there will be various gangs fighting for the territory left behind by Jin Bing's death. They will carry out a series of chaotic killings. I'm afraid that for a period of time, more than half of the streets of New York will become chaotic.”
"And I live in this city. I don't want an unstable environment to appear around me and affect my life and my family's life.”
With a few simple words, Qi Yu made his intentions clear. He pointed at Wesley, who was listening intently." And I choose you…"
At this point, Qi Yu spread her hands." To a certain extent, it's just a random choice.”
"However, if I discover in the future that your ability is not enough to control this underground world, of course, I will kill you without hesitation and replace it with someone more capable.”
"Have I made myself clear?"
Wesley nodded and stood up. With a respectful expression, he bowed deeply to Qi Yu, then said firmly,""I won't disappoint you."
As he spoke, Wesley consciously added,"My new master!"
Wesley was a smart man. He knew that if he could successfully take the throne of the New York underworld, it would be because he had the secret support of this big shot in front of him.
Therefore, he tactfully lowered his stance and acknowledged Qi Yu as his new master.
Even if he could really become the leader of the Fishker Criminal Group, he still had to bow down to the existence with absolute power.
Otherwise, it was very likely that everything he had obtained would be taken away very quickly, along with his own life.
"I hope you won't disappoint me."
Qi Yu slowly stood up. After saying this last sentence, his figure disappeared from the living room.
Looking at the chair where Qi Yu was no longer there, Wesley let out a long sigh of relief, his tensed nerves gradually relaxing.
"From tonight onwards, I will be the new king of this city.”
"The era that belongs to me, James Wesley, begins!”
Wesley clenched his fists, his eyes flickering with determination.
