Chapter 733: Chapter 722: The Death List
Song Yun squinted his eyes slightly and placed a bag on the counter, then said, “Auntie, here’s some food for you. Take it as a late-night snack on this late evening.”
“Aiya, you child, how can I accept this with a clear conscience?” Auntie beamed with joy. Despite her words of protest, she put the bag in front of her and opened it. “It’s beef soup, too! Delicious, haha.”
“Hehe, please enjoy it, Auntie. We’re heading upstairs.” After saying that, Song Yun followed Qingluan upstairs.
Once back in the room, Song Yun pulled out the map he had just bought, then opened up his laptop. It wasn’t long before Song Yun received several emails. The emails were filled with various photos, including panoramic and three-dimensional shots—these were the fruits of a day’s work from the members of the Shura Alliance scattered throughout the entire WZ city.
Holding a pen, Song Yun placed the laptop on the table and then spread the map out in front of himself. Combining the photos, he began to scribble and draw on the map.
As new emails arrived now and then, Qingluan sat beside Song Yun, sorting and categorizing them. Whenever Song Yun needed something, a word was enough for Qingluan to quickly fetch what was required.
The two of them didn’t need much communication, just a few words, but this simple interaction created an indescribable understanding between them.
Song Yun was entirely focused as this operation wasn’t just about him alone. Behind Song Yun were the lives of over a hundred people—which warranted nothing less than his utmost seriousness!
Song Yun’s objective this time was to destroy all of Wang Billion’s defensive forces with the force of a thunderbolt—launching a lightning-fast assault on him!
Why a blitzkrieg? The reason was quite simple. This was Wang Billion’s home turf, not Song Yun’s territory. Wang Billion had been establishing his operations here for decades, including his system and dark businesses—all tightly integrated with him. The Song Family’s clout was almost useless here, even counterproductive because above Wang Billion was the Zhou Family.
If the Zhou Family caught Song Yun in WZ, even Mr. Song’s influence might not amount to much. If they killed Song Yun and claimed it was an accident, what could Mr. Song do? Nothing! Because firstly, it was Song Yun who had crossed the boundary!
The major families—Song, Zhao, Li, Tang, Zhou—each had their own spheres of influence. The Song Family mainly controlled the Northeastern Three Provinces and Sunan, which explained why Song Yun received support from the pillars of the system and Mr. Xu in Sunan—it was the Song Family’s domain!
On the other hand, the Zhou Family’s influence was in ZJ. The Zhou Family was primarily involved in business, and with ZJ being coastal, decades of the Zhou Family’s efforts had transformed ZJ into a prosperous economic province of the south. There, the Zhou Family was powerful.
The influence of the other major families would be discussed later.
For various reasons, Song Yun had no choice but to conduct a blitzkrieg. Should anything happen to Wang Billion, Song Yun was sure that the whole of ZJ would be in turmoil. Then, forces from all sides would convene to capture him. He wasn’t Doraemon, and he didn’t have a Door-Anywhere. If he were alone, it would be easy to elude capture, and even if he took Black Flood Dragon and Jue Wu with him, they could just leave. But leading a hundred people was a different story. An all-out manhunt would surely result in captures and, if caught, the death penalty would be inevitable!
“Why bother with so many people if it’s troublesome? Why not just come with three?”
Song Yun had considered just coming with three people, but three people’s energy is limited. With Wang Billion’s people dispersed, it would be impossible for three to eliminate them all in a short time. As soon as one was killed, the others would heighten their defenses. With additional help from inside the system, it would be difficult for Song Yun to have another chance to eliminate Wang Billion or even Wang Kai.
Song Yun was formidable, but against the full might of the establishment when serious, he was no match. Dozens of submachine guns trained on you, even if you turned into Superman, you would not escape the fate of being riddled with bullets.
This was a war, an asymmetric war of strength. Song Yun and his group of over a hundred were about to challenge an organization even more formidable than the current Shura Alliance. Of course, Song Yun’s aim was not to crush them but a decapitation strike!
Working until after one in the morning, Song Yun finally organized some materials.
These materials were plentiful and varied, including information on Wang Billion’s women, children, their patterns of behavior, main places of activity, daily routines, home addresses, even their hobbies, the number and skill level of their bodyguards—all had been cataloged.
Sharpening the axe won’t delay the work of chopping wood.
If the homework was well done, maybe fewer of his own people would have to die.
Song Yun knew that not all of the hundred people he brought with him would be able to return.
Wang Billion was no pushover.
Among the data Song Yun had organized, he listed some names that must be executed.
At the top of the list was Wang Billion, followed by Wang Kai, and then Wang Kai’s bodyguards. According to Song Yun’s investigation, they had all accompanied Wang Kai to Sunan last time. In addition to these, there were Wang Billion’s three wives, who typically behaved arrogantly, engaged in seizing land, bullying the market, and monopolizing businesses—the kind that had done it all. Since hearing Qingluan speak earlier, Song Yun understood that some people deserved to be killed, while others should be spared.
Besides the three wives, Wang Billion also had two other children of unsavory character. For those who were unknown or lived law-abiding lives, Song Yun had no intention of killing them. Song Yun was not a bloodthirsty Demon King. Some grudges were enough if borne by a few.
Another person whom Song Yun marked for death was Gai Nie.
Although Gai Nie was known as a saintly sword dao master and his character was reputedly good in the Martial World, his presence alongside Wang Kai in Sunan made it clear—he had to die.
Anyone who had accompanied Wang Kai to Sunan last time had to die! That was Song Yun’s bottom line. As for the rest, their fate would depend on their character—if they were unlucky enough to encounter him, then it was just their bad luck.
