Chapter 557: Sleepless Night
“There was no choice. With so many people at that time, if I had held back, the situation would have turned against me. So, I had to use force to intimidate the other party,” Duan Jia explained. Xiao Shun naturally did not dwell too much on this issue.
Sometimes, the essence of killing is actually to reduce killing. Xiao Shun undoubtedly agreed with this view. Moreover, how could there not be casualties in the battle? Even Zhuang Jin’s side had already taken several lives.
At this thought, Xiao Shun sighed, “Alright, I will leave the aftermath to Zhuang Jin and his team to handle.”
“The things you sent are very good. I just tested them, and indeed they are as sharp as can be!”
“Hehe, if it weren’t good stuff, how could I possibly give it to you?”
With a sly smile, Xiao Shun hung up the phone. Immediately, his gaze turned to a nearby warehouse, where faint sounds of fighting could be heard. This was the last stronghold of Persimmon Commercial, as the other dozen or so had already been wiped out by Zhuang Jin and the brothers of Pearl Commercial Chamber.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Ten minutes later, Zhuang Jin, covered in blood, walked up to Xiao Shun with a thick smile on his face. Xiao Shun asked with a smile, “How did it go?”
Zhuang Jin replied casually, “It’s all taken care of. Those who refused to surrender have all been disabled. They probably won’t be able to eat a decent meal for the rest of their lives.”
“It seems there are still a few tough nuts!” Xiao Shun looked at the warehouse, smiling wryly.
At these words, Zhuang Jin curled his lip, showing extreme disdain, replying, “Those people are nothing but trying to negotiate with us. They didn’t understand my temper. I won’t negotiate with them. If they don’t listen, they will all be disabled and thrown out. That’s it.”
Xiao Shun nodded, then continued, “Can you contain the situation tonight? After all, there are at least twenty or thirty lives lost, including those from the Persimmon Commercial office.”
“Don’t worry, this level of conflict is still within a controllable range. I’ve already made arrangements in advance through friends. As long as the aftermath is handled well, there won’t be a big mess. Besides, this is a matter of the underworld, so naturally, it should be handled within the underworld,” Zhuang Jin said confidently, without any extra worries.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Since the other party put it this way, Xiao Shun naturally didn’t pay too much attention to these matters. At the moment, his only concern was how to quickly take over Persimmon Commercial’s business outside with the help of Pearl Commercial Chamber.
He discussed this with Zhuang Jin, and their discussion was very brief. After all, for Zhuang Jin, who advocated violence, there was nothing that couldn’t be solved with force.
The fact that Pearl Commercial Chamber could wipe out Persimmon Commercial in such a short time was a symbol of strength in itself.
Of course, the local guide, Little Fei, also played a significant role in this. However, regardless, Xiao Shun believed that after tomorrow, Pearl Commercial Chamber would be famous in Harrow.
In the face of such power, how many people would dare not to cooperate?
Thinking of this, Xiao Shun smiled faintly.
Suddenly, he caught sight of a conspicuous green figure. It was Little Fei, arrogantly reprimanding the remnants of Persimmon Commercial!
That aura, that attitude, was truly a mark of a leader!
Returning his gaze, Xiao Shun asked Zhuang Jin, “What is Little Fei like?”
“He’s a clever guy, resourceful, but a bit too carefree in character,” Zhuang Jin commented without hesitation.
It was clear that he held a high opinion of Little Fei.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun nodded and expressed his thoughts, “I want to use him more. After all, if you control both Stillwater and Harrow on your own, it’s inevitable that you’ll be stretched thin. Moreover, our foundation in Harrow is not stable. If we let a local handle it, the effect will be better.”
Zhuang Jin had no objections to Xiao Shun’s suggestion. After all, what Xiao Shun said was true. He alone couldn’t manage two chambers, and ultimately, they would need to recommend someone to stay in Harrow.
Although the brothers from Qingzun were all loyal, the candidate for this management position was not suitable to be chosen from among them, because this was Harrow, not Stillwater!
If you want the local hooligans to respect you, you must choose a local to manage. This was a rule of the underworld. Even the most powerful people were not willing to easily breakthe rules!
“I will spend these days properly grooming this guy, making sure he holds absolute loyalty to Qingzun!” Zhuang Jin said.
“I’ll leave these matters to you, after all, you are the professional,” Xiao Shun patted his shoulder and then walked towards a nearby car.
The next day, after a night of turmoil, Harrow remained vibrant and full of life.
As for Sha Hai and Persimmon Commercial, no one paid any attention to them, they had all been consigned to the dustbin of history.
After browsing through a newspaper and his phone’s browser, Xiao Shun couldn’t find a single piece of news related to Persimmon Commercial. This finally put his mind at ease.
Yao Cen had just taken “Panuka Pellets” to an appraisal agency in the center of Harrow. Once the results were out, they would instantly turn the tables.
Xiao Shun was confident, and everything was proceeding according to his plan, waiting for the final battle.
Zhu Que continued to diligently inscribe spirit patterns day and night, while Louis remained as stubborn as a rock in a pit.
Although this guy’s mouth was as tough as ever, Xiao Shun still gave him a certain degree of freedom, allowing him to move freely in the yard.
Xiao Shun walked slowly to Louis’s side and looked at his somewhat pale handsome face, sneering, “Why don’t you decide to tell me your secret yet?”
“Weaklings naturally submit to the strong,” Louis said expressionlessly.
Listening to the boy’s words, was he saying that I wasn’t strong enough? This guy had character!
Immediately, Xiao Shun laughed, “It seems you are still holding on to the memory of that day’s defeat.”
At these words, Louis’s eyes sharpened as he looked at Xiao Shun.
“If there is another chance, I will never be humiliated by you like that again!”
Recalling the battle in the small grove that day, he was furious beyond measure. Being knocked out cold by a punch was an experience not fit for outsiders.
Seeing the guy’s face turn livid, Xiao Shun couldn’t help but find it amusing, so he suppressed his smile and said, “It seems you’re quite confident. Since you are so sure, why don’t we make a bet?”
Louis interjected, “If you can defeat me within ten minutes, I’ll tell you everything. If not, you’ll let me go!”
