Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

"Both Sikong Zhu and Sikong Lianyan from the Sikong Family have been controlled by us. These two seem to have an unusual relationship with Lin Mo. I suspect they purposely handed the mine over to Lin Mo," Hong Yilong stepped forward and said.

"Oh, bring them over here, I want to interrogate them personally," Mr. Hong Lei said, frowning.

"Yes," Hong Yilong nodded.

"Go bring Sikong Zhu and Sikong Lianyan to see Mr. Hong Lei."

Not long after, under the escort of several bodyguards, Sikong Zhu and Sikong Lianyan arrived at the Council Hall.

The Sikong Family's influence has always been domestic, and they have little power abroad. Even if they had some influence, they wouldn't be a match for the Hong Family.

This time Sikong Zhu brought Sikong Lianyan here to plead guilty, not expecting such a situation to arise.

"Greetings to the three councilmen and Mr. Hong Lei," Sikong Zhu stood in place, bowing and said.

Sikong Lianyan pressed her thin lips together, a complex expression in her cool eyes.

From outside the crowd, Hong Han stared intensely at Sikong Lianyan, failing to conceal the greed and desire in his eyes. It was all because Sikong Lianyan was truly too beautiful.

"Hmm, since we're all members of Hongmen, I won't make things difficult for you. Tell me, what is your relationship with Lin Mo?" Mr. Hong Lei nodded and asked in a deep voice.

Sikong Zhu replied, "We have no relationship with Lin Mo, only that during the time in Tengchong, Lin Mo took our mine. Mr. Hong Lei, please see clearly!"

Sikong Zhu knew among these people, Mr. Hong Lei was the Sect Leader's disciple. Though he held no position within Hongmen, his power was considerable.

"Hmm?" Mr. Hong Lei furrowed his brows hard.

"Sikong Zhu, if you have no relationship with Lin Mo, why was Sikong Lianyan drinking with him?" asked an elder from the Hong Family coldly.

Sikong Lianyan suddenly raised her fair chin, a look of determination in her beautiful eyes, "This is a matter between Lin Mo and me. It has nothing to do with my grandfather or the Sikong Family. If you want to punish someone, then punish me."

"What a stubborn girl, are you Lin Mo's lover?" Mr. Hong Lei's gaze was like thunder. Although Sikong Lianyan had Martial Arts skills, she was only at the Dark Energy stage. In the face of such a powerful gaze like Mr. Hong Lei's, she instantly felt her chest as if hit by a heavy hammer, feeling tightness in her chest, and a trickle of blood seeped from her mouth. Yet, even so, the stubbornness on Sikong Lianyan's small face did not retreat one bit

.

"I am not his lover, but the way you Hongmen treat us is not right," Sikong Lianyan replied stubbornly.

"Lianyan." Sikong Zhu's expression changed, he said in a low voice.

Mr. Hong Lei showed a slight interest, and the suppression from his body lessened significantly, instantly making Sikong Lianyan feel much lighter.

"How have we Hongmen treated your Sikong Family?" Mr. Hong Lei smiled and said.

"Though weak in Hongmen, our Sikong Family has always been devoted to working for Hongmen, contributing a lot over the years. Instead of rewards, you seek to devour our Sikong Family," Sikong Lianyan clenched her fair fists.

"Sending our Sikong Family to fight for the mine, you Hongmen knew long ago we would fail. The treasures within that mine would surely draw the attention of other strong forces, yet you didn't send anyone to assist. Even if we took the mine, you would later find another reason to annex our Sikong Family," with these words, everyone from the Hong Family fell silent.

Sikong Zhu frowned, casting a sidelong glance at Sikong Lianyan in surprise. He initially thought Sikong Lianyan was unaware, not expecting his clever granddaughter to have already seen through everything.

"We Hongmen treat everyone equally; as part of Hongmen, naturally, you have to sacrifice and work for Hongmen," Mr. Hong Lei said angrily.

At that moment, a strong wave of suppression came again, undoubtedly targeting Sikong Zhu and Sikong Lianyan.

Sikong Zhu's face turned ashen, a mouthful of blood spewed out, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Grandfather," Sikong Lianyan's face changed drastically, immediately stepping forward to support her grandfather.

"I'm fine," Sikong Zhu waved his hand.

"Hmph."

Mr. Hong Lei snorted, "Betraying Hongmen and yet spouting such nonsense, truly laughable. After I kill Lin Mo, I'll deal with your Sikong Family."

Suddenly, Hong Han stepped forward and said, "Mr. Hong Lei, I have something to say."

"Oh?" Mr. Hong Lei glanced at him, the sharpness in his eyes slightly reduced.

After all, Hong Han was a member of the Hong Family, and the Hong Family had three councilmen, significantly influencing Hongmen.

"I think Lianyan must have been enchanted by Lin Mo. I've always admired her and hope Mr. Hong Lei would decide to let Lianyan marry me," Hong Han said excitedly.

Mr. Hong Lei glanced at Sikong Lianyan, noticing how young and beautiful she was, possessing a unique temperament absent in other women. No wonder she could captivate Hong Han.

Moreover, if Hong Han and Sikong Lianyan married, everything belonging to the Sikong Family would ultimately fall under the Hong Family's domain.

"That's a good suggestion. After I kill Lin Mo, I will officiate for you," Mr. Hong Lei laughed heartily.

Mr. Hong Lei has always had a good relationship with the Hong Family and helping them out with this matter, presumably, the Hong Family would support him in the future.

"Thank you, Mr. Hong Lei," Hong Han's face flushed with excitement.

Sikong Lianyan bit her silver teeth, her smile somewhat sinister, "I, Sikong Lianyan, would rather die than marry you."

"Oh, that's not for you to decide," Mr. Hong Lei suddenly extended his palm. Invisible strands of True Yuan enveloped Sikong Lianyan like silk threads.

Mr. Hong Lei raised his arm, and Sikong Lianyan's pale face rose from the ground, her feet leaving the ground.

"I know of a drug, once a woman takes it, she will be devoted to a man, obeying him completely. Hong Han, by then, you can do whatever you want with her," Mr. Hong Lei laughed loudly.

"Thank you, Mr. Hong Lei," a bizarre grin appeared at the corner of Hong Han's mouth.

Upon hearing their conversation, Sikong Lianyan's face turned ashen. She preferred death over falling under Hong Han's control and humiliation.

No other time more than this did Sikong Lianyan wish for Lin Mo to appear.

"Oh, there's a strong presence approaching," Mr. Hong Lei frowned, then released Sikong Lianyan. Several bodyguards immediately came forward and controlled Sikong Zhu and Sikong Lianyan.

"Could it be that Lin Mo has come?" Hong Yilong furrowed his thick brows.

"Mr. Hong, Vice President Adolf of the Superpower Alliance seeks an audience," a voice fell into everyone's ears. Though spoken in English, everyone understood clearly.

"Oh, an old friend has arrived."

Mr. Hong Lei narrowed his eyes slightly.

Above the Hong Family estate, a figure with 'wings' descended rapidly. The wings vanished, revealing a foreign man in a black robe appearing in the yard.

"Mr. Adolf, what brings you to visit me?" Mr. Hong Lei walked out with a smile.

"Mr. Hong Lei," Adolf bowed politely and nodded.

The wonderful story continues tomorrow.
