Chapter 431: The Spirit of the Contract, Happy Cooperation!
"Jiuluo, take him down."
Bai Yan nodded at his chin, calmly giving orders.
Qin Jiuluo nodded, then, with his men, began to closely monitor Eustace and his every move, including his interactions with other families, in a resolute effort to thwart any chance of Eustace seeking reinforcements.
"Zhao Ting."
Bai Yan spoke indifferently.
"Ah? Boss, I'm here!"
Zhao Ting, who had been staring blankly at Bai Yan as he commanded with authority, suddenly snapped back to reality and respectfully saluted Bai Yan.
This boss of his was no ordinary person!
The more Zhao Ting understood about Bai Yan, the more he revered and admired him.
"Contact Fu Chao and tell him to hurry over with his team to support us; I want to go to Demon Island in advance!"
Bai Yan said indifferently, "If nothing unexpected happens, I expect these guys will try to cause trouble for us after we leave."
Bai Yan's words were full of profound meaning.
Bai Yan did not fear trouble, but he also did not like it.
"Yes! Boss!"
Zhao Ting's expression became serious, and after pounding his chest with his right hand, he turned and left the hall to make contact with the forces of God's enemy organization on Demon Island.
Bai Yan did not consider the Dark Council to be significant, but that did not mean he would foolishly stay put and wait for others to come and settle scores.
After all, at this moment, Bai Yan was not yet strong enough to confront the formidable power of the Dark Council.
Despise the enemy strategically, but take them seriously tactically.
This had always been Bai Yan's style of conduct.
The next morning, news of the Demon Sect's takeover of the Mafia castle spread throughout the entire city of Ba City!
Everyone was extremely shocked.
Consequently, most people were distracted when they went to work in the morning.
At the bus stop.
"Did you hear? The people from the Demon Sect have taken over the Mafia's castle! The committee members have been imprisoned by them!"
"I heard it a long time ago. The Mafia will definitely retaliate next. I've already packed my things and am ready to leave here, it's too dangerous."
At the coffee shop.
"My god! Those Hua Xia demons have even wiped out the Mafia!"
"God, how many more people have to die in these damned underground organization fights!"
At the police station.
"Chief, what do we do now? Should we send out the police to support the Mafia?"
"Fuck! Have you gotten used to working for the Mafia? We should not interfere with this matter! Let these guys bite each other like dogs; we'll clean up the mess afterward."
"Yes, Chief!"
"But it really is somewhat surprising, these Hua Xia people, to be able to wipe out the Mafia in Ba City, I still feel like I'm dreaming!"
"Yes, Chief, the sounds of gunfire last night never stopped, and even armed helicopters were deployed! These Hua Xia people are truly crazy; they managed to take down the Mafia's castle like that!"
This Italian small town, originally world-famous because of the Mafia headquarters, with the eleven-person committee also holding an extremely high status in Ba City.
However, overnight, the strong crownless king was pulled down from his throne by the Demon Sect and trampled underfoot.
The people of Ba City from all walks of life had complicated feelings.
Spending the entire day at work without being able to concentrate.
They were unsure whether to celebrate the Mafia's downfall or lament that the city's residents had once again fallen under the control of a new underground organization.
In the entire city, there was also a part of the population that was relieved and cheered, which were the overseas Chinese living in Ba City.
Over the next three days, Bai Yan did not return to the villa; he specially had someone instruct the women to pack up and be ready to leave Ba City at any time.
The women, though somewhat puzzled, compliantly followed Bai Yan's orders.
When a man is handling affairs, sensible women rarely interfere.
At least, they would not excessively meddle in matters beyond their capacity.
As for Ba City University, Bai Yan directly sent Zhao Ting to handle the withdrawal procedures.
Faced with the Demon Sect, which controlled much of the city, the university president did not dare to neglect them.
Let alone withdrawal, the president immediately issued Bai Yan a diploma in advance, with the date of graduation written three years later, seals stamped, a comment of "extremely outstanding," numerous honor student titles added, and a personal signature from the president himself.
Zhao Ting was very satisfied with this.
As long as he held absolute power, possessed a strong force and strength, there was nothing in the Mortal World that couldn't be done!
However, Bai Yan stayed in the castle hall all throughout these three days.
Bai Yan did so only to guard against a surprise attack or backlash from the Mafia and the Dark Council.
Yet, he overestimated Ryan's courage. Ryan was now busy borrowing money and didn't dare to provoke the relationship between the Dark Council and Bai Yan.
He feared that as soon as he reported the matter, he would be the first one to be punished by the Dark Council.
After all, failing to successfully reclaim the Mafia's huge wealth was enough to cause him suffering, Ryan would not seek trouble by exposing Bai Yan's actions.
This pitiful Bloodline Count now only wished to ensure his own safety.
The entire hall was attended only by a few Demon Servants left behind by Qin Jiuluo, serving Bai Yan and following his orders, while he and Zhao Ting were busy with the upcoming matters.
One was busy monitoring Eustace and informing other Mafia families to pay the ransom, and the other was busy notifying Fu Chao to maintain smooth communication with Demon Island.
With two capable subordinates dealing with affairs, Bai Yan was free to relish in comfort.
He sat cross-legged in the hall, resting with eyes closed, his mind immersed in the Abyss Territory, carefully studying and deducing his future path and direction of development.
Every powerful individual is capable of some simple deduction and calculation.
Bai Yan would repeatedly scrutinize the path he intended to take and the possible future scenarios whenever he had spare time.
Now, as Bai Yan's power grew increasingly vast, he had to be very cautious and careful with every step, for caution is what helps ensure perennial safety.
Three days passed quickly.
On the third day, Qin Jiuluo and others came to report that the 100 billion US Dollars from Ryan and the 1.1 trillion US Dollars from Eustace had all been transferred.
Also, all the US Dollars in the castle and the assets from the bank cards had been transferred to the account of God's enemy organization.
Just this amount of money was as much as five trillion US Dollars!
Converted into RMB, it was at least over thirty trillion!
This large sum of money undoubtedly alleviated the current financial strain of God's enemy organization.
And the remaining gold, antiques, and other items were gathered together.
They only waited for Fu Chao's people to arrive, then they would transport everything to Demon Island, and later sell them for resources or money.
While Qin Jiuluo was reporting the transfer of funds to Bai Yan,
Zhao Ting walked in hurriedly.
"Boss, the assistant president's people have arrived, what shall we do now?"
Zhao Ting thumped his chest in salute, asking in a low voice.
"Leave here immediately! And at the villa, tell them to leave first! Let the people from the Demon Sect transport the antiques and gold, Jiuluo follow me, I want to personally lead the team and cover our retreat!"
Bai Yan's eyes sharpened, issuing commands decisively.
"Yes! Boss!"
"Yes! Master!"
The expressions on both Qin Jiuluo and Zhao Ting turned serious.
"Respected Mr. Bai, what about us?"
Standing to the side, Eustace asked somewhat awkwardly and anxiously.
"Don't worry, once we leave, you'll be free."
Bai Yan glanced at him indifferently, smiling as he said, "We, God's enemy, value reputation, we have a perfect spirit of contract."
To Demons, a contract is the guarantee for survival.
Deception?
No, no, no. We might play tricks in the contract, but we never renege after the contract is signed.
Since Eustace and the others have paid, Bai Yan naturally wouldn't kill them.
They are just a bunch of ordinary people.
"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Bai! You are as generous as God himself!"
Eustace was overjoyed, his lips trembling as he spoke with excitement.
"Ha ha, I would prefer you call me a Demon. I don't like God."
Bai Yan said with a smile, stretching out his hand and gently shaking hands with Eustace, adding quietly, "Pleasure doing business; I very much look forward to our next cooperation."
The next cooperation?
Eustace's face stiffened, and he instantly wore a mournful look.
If there were to be another "cooperation," the Mafia would likely go bankrupt!
