“Who are you?”

“The one who will kill you.”

“Did Gu Wanyu send you to kill ? Don’t kill , I can give you money. I’ll give you one billion if you don’t kill , and if you kill Gu Wanyu instead, I can give you ten billion.”

“You talk too much.”

A dart pierced the man’s neck, snuffing out his life.

“Just need to kill Li Ting, and it’s over.”

Elsa left the luxurious villa swiftly, her movents so quick that no surveillance cara could capture her form. She had already figured out the blind spots of the surveillance setup here.

After leaving, Elsa headed toward where Li Ting was staying. Although Gu Wanyu had driven her out, Li Ting had managed to gain so support from mbers of the Li family. So ambitious individuals deliberately supported Li Ting to disrupt Gu Wanyu’s plans. It was fortunate she had so of the Li family’s support, otherwise, Li Ting would have been captured by the Luo family by now.

“Damn it, why hasn’t Ye Chen co back?”

Li Ting cursed in frustration. Despite previously wanting to divorce Ye Chen after he hit her, and despite her new interest in Chen Luo—which would probably disgust him enough to co and kill her if he knew—she soon changed her mind and started missing Ye Chen.

“He’s never coming back, because he’s already dead,” Elsa’s voice reached Li Ting’s ears.

“Who… who are you?” Li Ting was startled by the sudden appearance of the foreign woman. How did she get in without the sound of the door opening?

“You said Ye Chen is dead, that’s impossible. How could he be dead?”

“Master has already killed Ye Chen. You just asked who I am, so I’ll tell you. I am the one sent to kill you.”

Elsa took out a knife and advanced toward Li Ting, who, in terror, stumbled backward. A sll of urine wafted up as she wet herself. Elsa covered her nose, visibly displeased by the sight of the disgusting woman.

“Disgusting. I should have killed her straight away without talking.”

“Don’t… don’t kill . Who is your master? I want to see your master.” Li Ting cried out in fear to Elsa.

She had thought about fighting back, but the murderous aura emanating from Elsa froze her in place, her eyes filled with fear as she looked at Elsa.

“You don’t deserve to et my master.”

Elsa threw the knife, its blade piercing Li Ting’s neck. Li Ting’s eyes widened in terror, staring at Elsa as she slowly lost her breath.

“The last one resolved.”

There were a total of four people on the list, five including Li Ting. Elsa took less than half a day to deal with them all. She left quietly, without leaving any trace.

“Master, the task is complete. Those four and Li Ting have all been dealt with,” Elsa respectfully reported to Chen Luo.

“Well, done so swiftly and beautifully, do you think I should reward you?” Chen Luo approached Elsa and lifted her into his arms.

Elsa’s eyes showed no shyness, only anticipation. Chen Luo carried Elsa into the room, and Zhao Yingxuan, seeing this, followed them inside.

***

A series of major events have occurred in Magic City. Seven mbers of the Li family, including Li Ting, have been assassinated. Of these, five were assassinated on Chen Luo’s orders to Elsa, while the other two were killed by Gu Wanyu herself.

The successive assassinations within the Li family have caused panic among other families, leading to a spike in bodyguard prices and a surge in the market rate for hiring bodyguards, much to the delight of the bodyguards.

Another major event was the sudden announcent that Yongqiang Group would rge with Morning Star Group.

Contrary to expectations, it was not Morning Star Group rging into Yongqiang Group, but rather Yongqiang Group being absorbed by Morning Star Group. Those not privy to the details were shocked, as even though Morning Star Group had been growing rapidly, it was still far behind Yongqiang Group.

Yongqiang Group was once the group of Magic City’s richest man, Xiao Yongqiang. How could it have rged into another group so soon after his death?

They witnessed a true case of the snake swallowing the elephant. Yongqiang Group was the elephant, and Morning Star Group was the snake. Though this snake could potentially grow into a giant python or even a dragon in the future, its current swallowing of Yongqiang Group, the elephant, was indeed astonishing.

So insiders were green with envy towards Chen Luo.

Xiao Qingxue, a well-known beauty, was no longer available. Many wealthy second-generation individuals in Magic City had been eyeing Chen Luo, a handso man. Managing to secure Magic City’s top beauty, how could they not be green with envy?

Moreover, Xiao Qingxue even brought Yongqiang Group as her dowry, intensifying their jealousy.

To those in the know, the Yongqiang Group was Chen Luo’s dowry, but if they realized that Chen Luo had no plans to marry Xiao Qingxue, their jealousy might flare up even more.

Having Magic City’s foremost beauty follow him unofficially, and also handing over the Yongqiang Group to him, how formidable must his tactics be?

Chen Luo had now beco a celebrity in Magic City. Previously, he was not very well-known, and many of the city’s elites hadn’t even heard his na. But now, Chen Luo had truly beco a mber of the upper echelon.

“Number one pretty boy, huh? Is that how the internet describes ?” Chen Luo exclaid as he read the online comnts, suddenly dubbed the nation’s top gigolo.

“That must be from so people who are jealous of you,” Xiao Qingxue softly said to Chen Luo.

“Then I really am being kept by you.”

“If you were really kept by , that might actually be better,” Xiao Qingxue said thoughtfully.

If Chen Luo were truly kept by her, he would only have her by his side. Though she had accepted the current situation, did it truly an Xiao Qingxue didn’t care about the other won around Chen Luo? Her acceptance was born of necessity.

“Wow, now you’re the public enemy of Magic City, so be careful when you go out, and don’t forget to take Chun i and the others with you,” Zhao Yingxuan said with a smile.

Internally, Zhao Yingxuan felt a bit jealous. Why didn’t those idle gossips spread rumors about her and Chen Luo, especially given their sensational relationship? Now everyone knew Chen Luo and Xiao Qingxue were a couple, which sowhat irked her.

“Do you think, eventually, everyone will denounce as a scumbag?” Chen Luo asked.

“Do they even need to denounce you? You already are one,” Xiao Qingxue glanced at Chen Luo.

“Cough cough, let’s instead discuss taking over the Li family,” Chen Luo suddenly interrupted.

“Even if Gu Wanyu takes control of the Li family, rging it directly won’t be easy,” Xiao Qingxue cautioned Chen Luo.

So mbers of the Li family, lacking ambition, might not oppose Li Qiwen controlling the Li family, but they definitely wouldn’t allow outsiders to control it.

“Actually, it’s best if the Li family stays under Gu Wanyu’s control. After all, she’s also your woman,” Zhao Yingxuan said with a hint of bitterness.

Indeed, after taking down the Li family, keeping Gu Wanyu in control would be ideal. The Li family was about to fall completely into her hands. Anyone who could have contested for the Li family had been dealt with. Now, no one could challenge the legitimate Li Qiwen.

However, there were definitely still ambitious individuals within the Li family who had not yet co to light.
