Silence!
In an instant, the whole space at the scene reached a state of death-like silence, with everyone's gaze nearly frozen on Lin Mo.
Looking at Lin Mo as if he were a ruler of the skies.
At this moment, the faces of Xia Dong, Xia Peng, and Zhou Yi had already turned pale to the extreme.
Now, their legs had completely given out.
Now, they realized how grave a mistake they had made!
Was Lin Mo not good enough for Xia Mengdie?
Remembering the past, the three had regarded Dugu Zhi as a god, holding him in high esteem. Now? One could only imagine how ridiculous everything they had just done was.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Without any hesitation, the three knelt down in unison, their voices filled with regret:
"Lin Mo, we were wrong!"
"Please spare us!"
"We should not have forced your girlfriend! Nor should we have looked down on you..."
"It doesn't matter if you looked down on me, but forcing my girlfriend, that's a death deserving!"
Suddenly, Lin Mo's voice turned cold and murderous, causing the three men's faces to turn instantly pallid. Although not cultivation geniuses, they were doing quite well now, and to die at this point was too much for them to bear.
"No... please!"
The three men's expressions turned to extreme panic as they looked to Xia Shan and Xia Mengdie for help: "Help us... please help us, we don't want to die."
Seeing Lin Mo's indifferent expression, Xia Shan quickly knelt down: "Lin Mo, please give them another chance to mend their ways."
As Xia Shan spoke, her body involuntarily trembled. She was well aware that Lin Mo was no ordinary man now, but a dominator who could easily decide someone's life or death with a flick of his finger.
Seeing that Lin Mo was unmoved, Xia Shan grabbed Xia Mengdie's hand, pleading repeatedly, "Mengdie, can you ask Lin Mo for me? If they all die, the Xia Family will be utterly ruined. You certainly wouldn't want to see the Xia Family besieged and displaced, would you, Mengdie? Could you, please, speak on behalf of Lin Mo?"
"Yes, Sister Mengdie, we really understand our mistake! Please talk to him for us, we won't dare to do it again!"
The three men from the Xia Family were scared to the point of sweating profusely, their faces ashen with endless regret. They truly did not want to die.
Xia Mengdie looked towards Lin Mo and softly said, "Mo, give them a chance."
"Fine!"
Lin Mo nodded, without asking any further reasons. Seeing this, everyone present was stunned. They hadn't expected that Lin Mo, who had just been resolute and controlling everything, would change his decision at a word from Xia Mengdie.
The weight and position Xia Mengdie held in his heart was immeasurable.
"Thank you... thank you!"
Xia Peng, Xia Dong, and Zhou Yi felt as if they had just returned from the gates of death.
However, before the three could even rejoice, Lin Mo said coldly, "The death penalty is spared, but punishment is unavoidable!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As he spoke, Lin Mo slightly lifted his finger and immediately, the three men's eyes widened in terror, and the areas below their abdomens exploded violently.
The Dantians of all three were destroyed!
Of course, it was not over yet. Immediately following, the three began endlessly screaming in agony, wishing for death: "Aaah!"
"If there are any more ill thoughts, your lives will end directly." Lin Mo's voice was cold and domineering, sending a chill throughout the crowd, making everyone feel as though they had fallen into an ice cave.
Having said that, Lin Mo walked out the door, embracing Xia Mengdie.
At that moment, no one dared to look at Lin Mo with contempt ever again.
It was a mixture of fear and reverence that a man ought to embody.
At the peak of dominance, ruling an era!
...
After leaving the Xia Family, Lin Mo received a call from Ma Jianlin.
Afterward, Ma Jianlin personally came to pick up Lin Mo and brought him to the Die Mo Pharmaceutical Company headquarters in Shanghai.
In the president's office.
"Mr. Lin, as per your instructions, I have already started the operations of Die Mo Pharmaceutical here in Shanghai!"
"However..."
At this point, Ma Jianlin hesitated.
"Go on, tell me what difficulty you've encountered."
Lin Mo saw the troubled look on Ma Jianlin's face, which was within his expectations.
"Just as before, whenever we were about to aggressively enter the pharmaceutical sector, there have always been people causing trouble!"
"Moreover, every time, the police in Shanghai only take our people back for investigation while turning a blind eye to those troublemakers."
"These are not real issues!" Lin Mo said indifferently, "What you've mentioned, I can easily resolve. As for what you need to do now, it is to find a way to promote Die Mo Pharmaceutical!"
Immediately, Lin Mo made a phone call. As soon as the connection was made, a respectful voice came through: "Mr. Lin, what a surprise to receive a call from you. I am truly honored."
"Cut the chatter!"
"May I know what Mr. Lin needs my assistance with?"
"Very simple, have you heard of Die Mo Pharmaceutical?"
"I have heard about it. It is said to be a pharmaceutical company from Imperial City that has settled here. It's extremely popular in Imperial City and other cities in Huaxia!"
"However, as Shanghai is developing very rapidly and the major business families have already been established, the Commercial Association here doesn't allow such a company, which can rise rapidly, to gain a foothold in Shanghai."
Lin Mo went straight to the point, his voice authoritative: "I won't beat around the bush, the person behind Die Mo Pharmaceutical is me."
"What would you like me to do, Mr. Lin?"
Lin Mo said calmly, "It's quite simple. From now on, make sure that your men stop making things difficult for Die Mo Pharmaceutical!"
"Mr. Lin, I can follow your orders, but I would like to warn you that the waters of Shanghai are deep!"
"If Mr. Lin insists on turning Die Mo Pharmaceutical into a major business force in Shanghai, other families might try everything in their power to target your company, and it could provoke a group attack."
Lin Mo snorted:
"You don't need to worry about that. Just do as I say!"
"As for them, if they dare to provoke me, Lin Mo, I won't mind stepping on them one by one!"
Lin Mo's voice was domineering and cold. Even through the phone, thousands of kilometers away, Li Jun could feel the menacing aura.
"Cough cough...Mr. Lin, could you give me some face and try not to cause too much bloodshed? If it causes too much disturbance, it will be difficult for me as well."
"Do you think I'm discussing this with you?"
Lin Mo's voice was cold as he stated indifferently, "I'm ordering you! Don't let your people obstruct the development of Die Mo Pharmaceutical, otherwise, your position will be at its end!"
"Mr. Lin, what...what do you mean by that?" Li Jun was also slightly angry, although he respected Lin Mo, it was mostly out of respect for Sima Hong.
"Just call the Shanghai branch of Sky Group and ask," Lin Mo, tired of the conversation, said lightly before hanging up.
"Sky Group? Could it be that Mr. Lin has some connection with Sky Group?"
Li Jun's expression changed slightly as he hastily made another phone call.
