During the flight, there was no conversation. Upon arriving in Y Country, Mo Ming and Night Peak disembarked. As they exited the airport, a black Lincoln limousine pulled up in front of Mo Ming. The door opened, and a long-legged beauty with light brown skin stepped out. She had golden hair styled in large waves and light blue eyes that were very alluring.
The woman before them was named Jessica, an American who had previously worked for the security agency but was dismissed due to a work-related mistake. Later, she encountered a lion and, after going through some experiences, ultimately became the lion's woman.
"Boss, Lion has some matters to attend to today and couldn't come to pick you up. He asked me to come get you instead. I hope you don't mind."
"Well, you know I don't mind these things," Mo Ming replied with a slight smile at Jessica before getting into the car.
Night Peak extended his hand with a smile to shake Jessica's hand and said in somewhat broken English, "Hello, my name is Night Peak. It's a pleasure to meet you, my beautiful lady. May I know your name?"
"Hehe, I'm Jessica. Mr. Night can speak Chinese with me; I can understand," Jessica responded in accented Chinese. Although it sounded a bit strange, she spoke it quite well.
Feeling embarrassed about his poor English, Night Peak smiled and said, "Miss Jessica, please forgive me... I didn't study English seriously when I was in school, so I'm not very good at it. I hope you can overlook that."
"Mm-hmm, Mr. Night doesn't need to worry; what you said earlier was fine," Jessica praised him with a thumbs-up and then gestured for him to get in the car. "Please get in; there are too many people here. We can talk more inside."
Night Peak said nothing further and got into the car, taking a seat in an empty spot. Jessica also entered the vehicle, which then started moving on its own. Jessica asked, "Boss, Mr. Night, would you like some red wine?"
"Yes, let's have a glass," Mo Ming nodded and asked, "What's the situation here? Have we received any news about Gong Gao Yi?"
"No news yet. According to the boss's instructions, we are starting with Gong Gao Yi's daughter. It's just strange that she has never visited him; we still haven't received any information about Gong Gao Yi," Jessica said while pouring two glasses of red wine.
"Not a single piece of news?"
Mo Ming frowned; Gong Gao Yi seemed to be hiding too well as if he knew someone was after him and had gone into hiding. Even his own daughter hadn't visited him—this was truly bizarre; could he be dead?
"No news," Jessica shook her head and handed the poured red wine to Mo Ming and Night Peak. "However, most of the scattered gangs here have been subdued by us; they have basically all been conquered by Lion's ruthless methods. Today Lion is dealing with the last gang that refuses to submit—the Moses Gang—so he couldn't come."
"You've done well. As long as we gather strength here and consolidate it into a solid force, it will be quite formidable. If Reed finds out about this, he will likely try to recruit or eliminate us."
A glint of sharpness flashed in Mo Ming's eyes as he swirled his glass of red wine and downed it in one go. "If he dares to play games, I'm more than willing to oblige him. I'll make him understand that if he doesn't hand over Gong Gao Yi, neither Y Country nor the Frank Family will ever find peace!"
"Mm-hmm, Boss, both Lion and I are waiting for you to come stir things up here," Jessica said with a smile before recalling something. "There may be no news about Gong Gao Yi, but I've discovered some information about his daughter—she seems to be having an affair behind Reed's back. If we can catch her in the act, Reed should no longer care about Gong Gao Yi."
"Hehe, that's good news! If we can obtain evidence of Gong Gao Yi's daughter cheating, I believe Reed will be furious enough to eliminate Gong Gao Yi. But for now, let's hold off on that; I want him alive!"
This time, Mo Ming's purpose for coming here was to bring Gong Gao Yi back alive and make him repent in front of Murong Lian's mother's grave before sending him off this world. If Reed found out that his son had been cuckolded, he would likely be so enraged that he would have someone eliminate Gong Gao Yi, making it impossible for Mo Ming to bring him back alive.
Before that, Mo Ming planned to stir up trouble for the Frank Family in Y Country, making things difficult for them and gaining the upper hand in negotiations. He would then present evidence of Gong Gao Yi's daughter having an affair to Reed, which might lead Reed to hand over Gong Gao Yi for the sake of family interests.
The car arrived near a luxurious community. Before getting close, someone signaled from a distance for the car to stop. Once they saw the license plate number, they stepped aside in fear.
"Hey, I didn't expect the security here to be so strict. They even equipped the guards with guns; that's impressive!" Mo Ming nodded in satisfaction and said, "There must be many hidden sentries around here, right?"
"Indeed, as expected of the boss. Yes, there are indeed hidden sentries, and there are more of them than visible ones," Jessica replied with a smile. "You should know that this entire community is ours. If we didn't have armed guards, how could we ensure our safety? We have enemies everywhere."
"Tsk tsk, this Lion has really spent a lot. This location must not be cheap. In such a short time, he has managed to develop it to this extent; his efficiency is quite high. Not bad at all. In the future, we can also leave matters to Lion to handle."
Mo Ming nodded appreciatively. Lion was strong and although not particularly clever or cunning, he had decent abilities. However, in this era, relying solely on strength wasn't enough; intelligence was also crucial. Mo Ming believed that Lion's success was largely due to Jessica's contributions; she must be a woman from the security bureau with exceptional capabilities.
Upon arriving in front of a house, the car stopped. Jessica got out first and said to Mo Ming, "Boss, I've already tidied up the house for you. It's this one right in the center of the community. If we encounter an enemy attack, we can buy some time here."
Mo Ming replied, "Hmm, you've thought this through well. Our opponent is the powerful Reed here; if we're not careful, we might lose our lives. We need to strengthen our defense."
"I'll arrange everything properly. Boss, you can go check out the room now. Is there anything you need to change?"
"No need; as long as I can sleep comfortably," Mo Ming shook his head and said. "You don't need to accompany me; go ahead and take care of your business. When Lion comes back, have him come find me; I have something to discuss with him."
"Alright, Boss. I'll take my leave now." Jessica nodded and left directly.
"Brother Ye, if you need anything, just let me know; I'll have someone take care of it for you," Mo Ming said to Night Peak.
Night Peak was quite easygoing and had no particular demands regarding the room. He shook his head and said, "I don't have high requirements for the house; as long as I can sleep soundly it's fine. Boss, Seventh Master sent me to Y Country to get in touch with an old friend of his here. I believe he will be a great help to us."
"An old friend of Seventh Master?"
"Yes, his name is Abraham; he's a retired Special Forces soldier who encountered life-threatening situations while on a mission in our country. Thanks to Seventh Master’s rescue, Wood was able to return safely. After retiring, he has been thriving in Y Country's political scene and holds a significant position. If he is willing to help us, dealing with Reed will be much easier," Night Peak explained.
"Oh! If we have someone from the underworld helping us out, I won't have to worry about Reed using government power against us anymore. Seventh Master has been so good to me; he has considered so much for me," Mo Ming said. "Brother Ye, please take care of this matter!"
"Understood! I'm planning to try contacting Abraham right now. Brother Mo Ming, just wait here for my good news; I'm confident I can persuade Abraham to help us," Night Peak smiled slightly and left after receiving Mo Ming's nod of agreement.
Mo Ming had nothing much to do, so he walked into the house without even bothering to look around. He went straight into the bedroom, put down his luggage, and recalled the "Spirit Gathering Technique" that Seventh Master had given him. He immediately took it out.
"Seventh Master said this book was left by Senior Zhang Sanfeng, so it must be extraordinary. Otherwise, even Seventh Master's master couldn't comprehend it in his lifetime. But I want to see just how amazing this book really is!"
Mo Ming opened the book and seriously read through the "Spirit Gathering Technique." He didn't find anything particularly special about it. After spending some time finishing the book, thanks to Mo Ming's exceptional memory, he quickly imprinted the entire content in his mind.
"This is just a fragment?" Mo Ming frowned and said, "From the content, this book seems to be an upper volume; the lower volume of the ancient text is missing. The content here isn't complicated; there are no techniques, just some perspectives on how spirits give rise to all things. What could be so special about it?"
Just as Mo Ming was pondering this, there was a knock on the door of the room. A voice from outside called out, "Boss, it's me, Lion. Can I come in?"
"Come on, I'm not a woman; what's inconvenient about it? Hurry up and come in!" Mo Ming said as Lion walked in, feeling frustrated. "Lion, this isn't like you at all. Has something happened recently? You've changed so much that you even know to knock before entering!"
"Boss, don't mention it. It's all because of my unfortunate home life. With a fierce wife like Jessica, I have to learn some manners; otherwise, I'd have to sleep in the living room!" Lion shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Sigh, what kind of karma is this!"
"You can't blame anyone else for this; you brought it upon yourself. There are plenty of women out there, yet you had to choose a female agent and end up in this situation. You deserve it!" Mo Ming added fuel to the fire and said, "Alright, enough chit-chat. Let's get straight to the point. How did things go with Moses Gang today?"
"When I handle things, it's a piece of cake! From now on, Moses Gang will no longer exist. Here we have a new big gang called Dragon Soul!" Lion smiled broadly, seemingly very pleased with the name "Dragon Soul."
