What a Genius

Several more days passed.

In a standalone villa in the beautiful country,

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! Who would've thought you all would mess up so badly? Luckily, I was smart and quick enough to leave early,"

Li Caijun laughed with unrestrained glee.

He had just received news from back home.

Both Lin Fan and Ma Qun had been issued arrest warrants.

The Dragon Country has a zero-tolerance policy towards fugitives. If they can be apprehended on the same day, they will never be allowed to linger until the next!

All assets under their names had been frozen.

Additionally, there was the issue of obtaining visas to travel abroad.

Trying to come through conventional channels now would be nothing short of a pipe dream.

The only option left was to resort to alternative methods.

In this modern era, technological advancements have made things far easier than before.

Even if Lin Fan and Ma Qun had connections and found a way to come over,

it would still take time, right????

"You don't need to come back. Wait until the Dragon King Hall becomes mine, and then you can return, hahaha..."

Li Caijun remained unaware.

Lin Fan and Ma Qun had already met their end.

After all, very few people knew about this.

As for the arrest warrants, that was common knowledge now.

What???

You say Li Caijun used to be Lin Fan's subordinate?

Why would he want to seize Lin Fan's assets?

Why!!!

Because he could!!!!

Well, this all started with the scheme against Xu Mo and the Xu family.

They teamed up to swindle the Xu family.

But the benefits Lin Fan promised never materialized.

Instead, the Li family back home was completely wiped out.

How could Li Caijun not be furious?

Before leaving, not beating Lin Fan up was already being generous.

What's wrong with taking the Dragon King Hall from you?

What's wrong???

If you have the guts, come back right now and stop me!!!

The Dragon King Hall is mine, Li Caijun, to devour.

Even if Lin Fan rushes back, it won't make a difference! I said so!!!

Thinking of this,

Li Caijun grew more and more excited.

The reason he dared to do this was not only because Lin Fan and Ma Qun were absent,

but also because An Youyi, Li Jiaxin, Gao Liming, and others were no longer part of the Dragon King Hall.

Not only that,

but the intel Li Caijun had gathered also revealed that

Li Jiaxin had withdrawn her trusted associates and her assets from the Dragon King Hall.

The same went for Gao Liming.

As for An Youyi, she was a lone wolf.

She preferred to operate independently.

It was likely she had no interest in the Dragon King Hall.

With these people out of the picture,

there was no one left in the Dragon King Hall who posed a threat to Li Caijun.

It could be said that the Dragon King Hall becoming his was a foregone conclusion.

"The Dragon King Hall cannot go a single day without a leader!! I'm doing this for your own good. If no one wants this trash, then I'll gladly take it,"

Li Caijun put on his glasses, and his demeanor instantly shifted, reverting to that of a refined scoundrel.

He looked completely harmless.

He had returned, for those who could not.

Since no one was coming to claim any of this,

why shouldn't he take it?

Why wouldn't Li Caijun take it?

Thinking of this,

Li Caijun picked up his phone and dialed a number.

Soon, someone answered.

"Draft an invitation for me, summoning the remaining hall leaders for a meeting. The title of the meeting will be: 'Who Will Be the Next Leader?'"

The Dragon King Hall was a tangled web of various factions.

Some, like An Youyi, were only nominally involved.

Others, like Gao Liming, joined for specific benefits.

Then there were fanatics like Ma Qun, who were blindly loyal to Lin Fan.

Of course,

hall leaders willing to lay down their lives for Lin Fan were extremely rare.

Counting them, Ma Qun alone was already one too many.

The person on the other end of the line was Li Caijun's trusted aide.

However, he had some reservations about Li Caijun's proposal.

"Brother Li, perhaps we should wait a little longer. Although the Dragon King is in the country, he still has contingencies in place within the Dragon King Hall. If he counterattacks, we won't gain much."

This was the truth.

Given Lin Fan's personality, if he couldn't have something, no one else would either.

He would rather see the Dragon King Hall collapse into chaos, utterly destroyed,

than hand it over to someone else.

This was human nature. If you thought this way, you'd only be half right.

But this didn't apply to Lin Fan.

After all, his Dragon King Hall was built by devouring the intact fortunes of others.

In other words,

if someone gave something to Lin Fan, he would be delighted.

But if someone tried to take a share from him, sorry, we're not close. Go back to where you came from.

"Wait, wait, wait—wait for how long? Waiting too long will kill us, don't you know! What I want is a lightning strike, catching everyone off guard. The Dragon King is too busy in the country to deal with matters here. Even if he has the time, I will still take the Dragon King Hall!"

Li Caijun declared with unwavering determination.

Lin Fan and Ma Qun, those two fools,

had brought ruin to the Li family. How could he not take back his due?

"Understood," the aide replied.

All he could do was offer advice.

If Li Caijun insisted,

they had no choice but to follow him unconditionally.

After giving a few more instructions,

such as noting down the names of those who didn't show up,

Li Caijun wanted to see who would dare disrespect him, the Nightmare Butcher!

Those disobedient hall leaders were of no use anyway.

It was time for a purge.

Replace them all with his own people.

Li Caijun stood up and walked over to a vintage gramophone.

He placed his favorite record on it.

Soon,

the elegant strains of classical music filled the room.

Li Caijun narrowed his eyes slightly,

swaying to the music.

He exuded an air of sophistication and grace,

completely at odds with the terrifying image of a deranged killer.

Anyone who saw him would instinctively think,

this is a dashing, refined gentleman.

He probably wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken.

His hands would tremble.

How could he possibly kill anyone?

Hehe, you people sure love to joke.

"Boss."

Knock, knock, knock...

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in," Li Caijun said, still in high spirits. The music played on, and he showed no intention of stopping.

In walked a blonde, blue-eyed secretary.

Foreigners lacked the ability to read the room.

They always said whatever was on their minds,

claiming it was honesty and reliability.

In reality, it was sheer stupidity. Pigs were a hundred times smarter than them!!!

"Boss, your home country has issued a warrant for your arrest. They claim you're a bloodthirsty, deranged killer and have gathered evidence to support this. Some of our business partners have called to withdraw their investments. They'd rather pay several times the penalty fee than continue working with us."

Li Caijun's movements came to an abrupt halt.

His body tensed up.

The gramophone continued to play the classical music.

The secretary didn't notice Li Caijun's change in demeanor.

Or perhaps she didn't care.

She was too captivated by the classical music playing in the room.

This was a piece she often listened to as well.

The secretary began swaying unconsciously to the rhythm.

Would you find such a clueless secretary back home?

Probably not.

But abroad, this was all too common.

After all, the boss was the boss, and they were just employees.

They only needed to focus on their own tasks; the rest was none of their concern.

Although the boss might not be happy about it,

what did that have to do with them?

Their contracts didn’t include a clause about reading the boss’s mood, right?

Soon, the scene took a strange turn.

Li Caijun, the boss, froze in place.

Meanwhile, his secretary, a tall foreign woman, was still dancing to the music, swaying her arms.

The contrast between the two was striking!
