In such a formal atmosphere, Yang Tian's words were a bit crass. Immediately there were many set eyes in the room falling upon him. When they realized that he was only Hua Shi Yin's bodyguard, there were many angry and sneering voice that rang out.
The elder took one look at Yang Tian and then looked at Hua Shi Yin:
- Little Shi Yin, you should control your men. This is not a place that he can just run his mouth.
Hua Shi Yin had an indifferent expression:
- He's not my subordinate. If you having something to say to him, do it yourself.
- Weren't you the one that brought him here?
- I brought him here so he's automatically my subordinate?
The elder clammed up and angrily looked at Yang Tian:
- If you are not a member of our Yu Long Syndicate then get lost. I'll give Little Shi Yin some face and let you go this time.
Yang Tian pulled up a chair and sat down:
- Who the fuck are you to kick me out?
- You...
The elder furiously pointed his finger at Yang Tian. Ever since he became mayor, this was the first time someone talked to him like that. Even Hua Qi could only treat him as an equal. Yang Tian shook his head:
- I hate it when someone points their finger at me.
Chu Ci, who was behind him, understood and charged forward. A cracking sound rang out followed but the hair raising scream of that elder. One of his finger was already yanked off by Chu Ci. This was the fighting style of the Beserker Spiritual Body. No dazzling spells, only pure power.
Everyone in the room was frightened. This kind of development was too fast. They hadn't even understand what was going on before the elder was on the ground wailing. Yang Tian pretended to cover his eyes and said to Chu Ci:
- I told you that I don't like bloody scenes.
- I'll be more careful next time.
This time, the other people had a chance to react. Very quickly guns were pointed at Yang Tian and Chu Ci. Yang Tian didn't say anything. He help up a cup of tea from the table and took a sip. Chu Ci immediately acted, he grabbed the two closest guns and crushed them.
With speed faster than the eyes can see, Chu Ci unleashed dozens of punches. People from the Yu Long Syndicate were knocked back cold one by one. The people that surrounded Yang Tian reacted and turned to shoot at Chu Ci.
Gunshot continuously rang out and Chu Ci was like a mad bull charging in. He punched and kicked not unlike ruffians on the streets. Yang Tian looked at Hua Shi Yin and shook his head:
- His fighting style is terrible. Such an embarrassment to myself.
Hua Shi Yin was in no mood to focus on Yang Tian. She was startled by Chu Ci's actions and muttered:
- Even guns are useless against him. Could it be that he cultivates in Golden Bell Arts or Iron Shirt Arts1 from the legends? If I possessed such a helper then controlling the Yu Long Syndicate is not a wild dream.
Although Yang Tian had soon said that Chu Ci was very powerful. Hua Shi Yin didn't believe it too much. However the truth was right there before her. She looked at Yang Tian strangely. Her stare made Yang Tian uncomfortable:
- If you want something, say it. Don't just stare at me like that.
- It's nothing, I suddenly feel that you are very handsome.
Yang Tian's eyes widen, this wasn't the first time she saw him. Did she really have to say something that disingenuous?
- It's true that I'm very handsome but this is not the first time we've met. If you have something then say it. With our current relationship, there's no need to be shy.
Hearing Yang Tian say that, Hua Shi Yin had a serious look and pointed to Chu Ci:
- I want him.
- No, if you have needs, you can come to me. You can't just go looking for other men. That's right, that husband of your, you should cut ties with him as soon as possible.
- Get your mind out of the gutter. I meant that I want him as my helper.
Yang Tian chuckled, he was overthinking things again:
- Not a problem. That was my plan from the beginning. If not, even if I hand the reins of the Yu Long Syndicate to you, you won't be able to manage it.
Hearing Yang Tian's acquiescent, Hua Shi Yin was very pleased inside. By this time, the fighting on the other side was finally over. Chu Ci dusted himself off. Although he didn't suffer any injuries, his clothes have been shot to pieces in multiple places. He looks exactly like a homeless person.
The people from the Yu Long Syndicate were all lying on the ground groaning and moaning. This was because Chu Ci was following Yang Tian's order and went easy on then. If not they'd all be on their way to the Yellow River2 by now.
The council members were all scared and huddled into a corner, seemingly afraid that Chu Ci would notice them. Chu Ci walked forward, lifted the elder up and threw him down under Yang Tian's feet. At this moment, his arms and legs have couple of holes in them. It looked to be stray bullets. Luckily none of the wounds were lethal.
Without waiting for Yang Tian to speak, the elder was frightened and held on to Yang Tian's foot:
- Spare me, whatever your demands are, I accept. Even if you want the Yu Long Syndicate, I'll give it to you.
- Is your authority in the Yu Long Syndicate that great?
- Of course, when Hua Qi died, the control of the Yu Long Syndicate mostly fell into my hands.
Yang Tian shook his head and looked at him in pity:
- Too bad you won't have anything left after today.
The old man heard this and misunderstood that Yang Tian wanted to kill him. He yelled out:
- You can't kill me. I am Qiao An Hai, the mayor of the city. If you kill me, you'll be on the wanted list. No matter how powerful you are, you can't fight against the entire country.
Yang TIan turned to look at Chu Ci:
- A city mayor, is that very big?
Chu Ci didn't understand what Yang Tian meant and nodded honestly:
- I think it's very big.
- Is that so. Then from now on you are no longer the mayor anymore.
Before the elder could registered what Yang Tian meant, he took his phone and dialed a number.
Ye Wen Tian saw that it was Yang Tian's number and immediately picked up. Yang Tian wasn't too wordy:
- There's a city mayor named Qiao An Hai, fire him in my stead.
Ye Wen Tian heard that and smiled helplessly. It this guy didn't call then everything was fine. However if he did call then he would bring with him substantial trouble:
- This is very difficult. Although our Dark Society is strong, we operate in the shadows. The government is the one that deals with the citizens. He's a high ranking official. Even if it was me, I couldn't just say fire him and he's fired.
- Humph, you've asked me for so many favors yet can't even handle this small of a matter?
- This is in no way a small matter. He's not some village chief or some random security guard. You shouldn't put me in a bad spot.
Yang Tian was deep in though. Since he didn't work in the government, he didn't know the intricacy of its operation.
- If it's like that then can't you just say he committed a crime and be done with it?
- Crime?
- He wanted to kill me.
- What?
Ye Wen Tian was shocked. Trying to murder the Overseer of the Dark Society, how massive was a crime like that. Not to mention a mayor of a city, even if it was the President of the country, he'll be dropped in the slammer. Of course the crime would be modified a bit, like say to corruption charge.
- Did he really intend to kill you? Do you have any proof?
- My words are proof. Is that not enough?
Hearing Yang Tian's tone of voice, Ye Wen Tian knew that this was set in stone:
- Alright, understood. He'll be swiftly run out of office and charged.
Hanging up his phone, Yang Tian didn't even pay attention to Qiao An Hai, who just passed out from the blood loss, and looked at the other people:
- Now, I'm saying that Hua Shi Yin will become the new leader of the Yu Long Syndicate. Anyone objects?
- Not at, Little Shi Yin has great talent. If not for that bastard then we would have chosen her in the first place.
- That's right, we were forced by Qiao An Hai.
Yang Tian sighed, these people would go anywhere the wind blows. They can't be trusted. Hua Shi Yin saw Yang Tian like that and gestured that she understood. It seemed that she already had plans to deal with these people so Yang Tian didn't intervene.
- Alright, then begin the succession ceremony.
