Samsara Online-Novel

"Surrender or die?" Chi Yong Hong repeated the words he heard with a confused expression. "What do you mean?"

Seeing the genuine incomprehension on the face of the middle-aged man in front of him, Xie Feng chuckled and slowly explained, "Currently, I lack practically nothing in my life. I have the love of my loved ones, enough money to live a comfortable life, and I have enough power so that no one who knows me would dare to underestimate me... Even the strongest families in the capital don’t dare to take me lightly!"

Xie Feng’s voice was extremely proud. Many might not understand where such pride came from, however, those who knew him knew that he was proud for having everything he had at such a young age! After all, at the young age of twenty, Xie Feng could very well put aside all worries and live a life full of luxury and pleasure; but even then he did not turn away and continued to work hard.

He continued: "However, it is naturally impossible for everyone to know who I am. After all, leaving aside the world, China is a huge country... Today’s event where your son and the mayor’s son provoked me made me realize that I still lack something else."

Chi Yong Hong’s eyes flashed slightly and he narrowed his eyes as he said, "A power that you can move at will..."

Xie Feng clapped his hands once and chuckled lightly as he nodded, "Smart. That’s right, a power that I can use at will. That’s what I’m currently lacking... Although I have several dealings with the police and politicians, there are many things I can’t do in broad daylight. Precisely for that reason, I want your Green Bamboo gang to submit to me. That way, the Shanghai underworld will be under my absolute control!"

Xie Feng’s thoughts were very simple. Although he was extremely powerful, although he had dealings with the police forces, there were things he could not casually do. For example, he could not casually go out in broad daylight and kill people at will; although Xie Feng could use his powers to assassinate silently, he first had to inspect person by person within his area of control to find the person so it was not as practical as it seemed.

However, if he controlled the forces of the underworld, then he only needed one call to make anyone disappear from the world forever. After all, the underworld was a power that was in itself against the law so killing one or two people didn’t make much of a difference.

In today’s event when Chi Yang and the mayor’s son provoked him, Xie Feng realized this matter. If it was the past him, he would probably fix things by himself just like he did in the past... However, thanks to the Pearl of Frozen Water, Xie Feng’s thoughts were more calculating than in the past; now he could find the best possible solution that would give him more benefits in the long run. It was precisely because of this that he decided to leave the comfort of his home and come here tonight.

"I understand your point." Chi Yong Hong nodded and narrowed his eyes as he lightly threatened, "However, I think you underestimate me too much... Although we may not be able to defeat you since according to my people you have some strange skill that allows you to survive bullets, I wonder if you can survive explosions?"

Saying so, Chi Yong Hong took out a small remote control from somewhere and said, "This mansion is surrounded with explosives. Each base has 1 kilogram of gunpowder and the ground we are standing on now is also filled with TNT."

The hooligans turned pale when they heard their boss’s words. The only one who seemed casual was Tong Xiaoyun.

"Although it’s a pity to die like this, if I have no other choice I will certainly bury you here with all of us." Chi Yong Hong said calmly. His face was indifferent as if his life or death was no small matter.

Xie Feng looked at him for a moment and realized that the man in front of him was not joking and was really willing to die here.

"Is that so? "Xie Feng sneered. His eyes flashed for a split second and a gust of wind blew through the place. Then, with a smile that wasn’t a smile, he asked, "You mean this remote control?"

Chi Yong Hong jumped to his feet as he looked at the young man’s hands in front of him. His eyes almost fell out of their sockets and he couldn’t help but exclaim, "How did you do that!?"

Chi Yong Hong’s wife, Tong Xiaoyun, also looked on with wide eyes full of disbelief. She was usually a pretty calm person, but at this moment the events happening did not allow her to keep her calm and poker face.

Xie Feng chuckled and threw the remote control back to Chi Yong Hong as he calmly said, "Even if you press that button, I can guarantee my safety and that of the beauty beside me 100%. The only ones who will die will be you... But if you want to have the death of a miserable dog, go ahead. Press that button!... But let me remind you of something. When I get out of here, I will see to it that your beloved son lives a life worse than death! He will wish to die but he can’t die!"

Chi Yong Hong’s face changed several times when he heard Xie Feng’s words, hesitating. Although Chi Yong Hong was a brave man who was not afraid of dying, he was also not willing to die if there was no other choice, no one really was. Besides, if the young man in front of him, who had strange skills, really made it out of here alive, then wouldn’t his sacrifice be in vain?

Seeing his wife’s pale face and knowing that his son was in danger was the last straw. Chi Yong Hong seemed to age a dozen years when his shoulders slumped and he set the remote down on the small glass table.

"I’ll listen to you."

Xie Feng smiled faintly as he heard the clearly indisposed but helpless tone of the man in front of him. With a casual expression, he said, "You don’t need to be so depressed. Actually, this might be more beneficial to you than you think."

Chi Yong Hong’s eyes brightened slightly, paying attention to his next words.

"In exchange for your subordination, I will forget the matter of your son offending me and let him go immediately. In addition, I will also arrange for the police to stop interfering too much in your matters, so you will no longer have to live the life of a rat underground, hiding in fear of being killed.

"All I ask in return are a few things... First, the drug trafficking business ends here and now. Second, all women who are being held against their wishes will be freed immediately and given a compensation of five hundred thousand yuan, which is equivalent to a lifetime of work. Third, rape or mistreatment of innocent civilians will not be tolerated in any way... As long as you comply with these three points, I will release your son and slowly allow your business to become pure and accepted by the law."

Chi Yong Hong and Tong Xiaoyun’s eyes shone brightly. Although the first two points were somewhat annoying, especially the first point, it was not something impossible. The benefits were more than they would lose.

The couple already had enough money to live several lives of luxury and comfort. However, because that money was illegal, neither of them could really enjoy it; they could not take trips at will nor could they casually go out on the street since a sniper could take them out at any time.

The only reason Chi Yang could continue to live a normal life until now was because the police could not do anything to him as they had no proof that he did anything illegal; even if he was the son of wanted parents, he had not done anything. Besides, the police did not dare to touch him casually either because if anything happened to him the Bamboo Green gang would not stand idly by.

Now that they heard that they could finally live a normal luxurious life, they were naturally tempted. However, Chi Yong Hong was a smart man and soon noticed something else.

"And what do you gain from all this?" Chi Yong Hong asked suspiciously. He did not believe that the young man in front of him would do this just to help the people.

Indeed, Xie Feng laughed lightly and slowly replied, "I don’t ask for much, to be honest. I just want you, whatever my order is, to be carried out. I don’t think I need much of your help, but in case a pesky fly needs to be wiped off the map, legal means are a hassle. But for you it’s simple... Do I make myself clear?"

Chi Yong Hong was silent for a moment before nodding in understanding. After thinking about it, he realized that although he was becoming someone else’s servant, the benefits were simply too much no matter which way he looked at it. After all, it was like Xie Feng said; he would only need his help very occasionally.

It was impossible that every day some idiot would provoke him after all.

"Fine! I agree." Chi Yong Hong nodded with a sincere face and said reverently. "As of today, the Green Bamboo Gang is at your disposal, young master Xie."

Xie Feng nodded with satisfaction after seeing the submission of the man in front of him. He then proceeded to settle minor details with Chi Yong Hong and left together with Yao Mei.

Before leaving, Xie Feng also told Chi Yong Hong and Tong Xiaoyun that Chi Yang would be freed tomorrow in the morning.
