Chapter 985: Falling Out
The cold-blooded subordinates stared wide-eyed at Brahma, their eyes filled with disbelief as if they could hardly believe their ears. One of them asked, “W-what did you say, Boss? Suppress… all of God Ji’s forces?”
“Keep an eye on Red Flame and the Black Market,” ordered Brahma as he squinted his eyes. It’ll be too late for Lu Chengzhou to do anything by the time I finish weakening Gu Mang’s forces. Moreover, Jijing Island will help restrain them. With 20% of Red Flame’s territory on Mingyu Island in my hands and enlisting the help of the other mafia forces, that should be enough to deal with Gu Mang.
From Brahma’s expression, the subordinates knew that he wasn’t joking. They were all stiff with shock, but upon receiving a look from him, they quickly snapped out of it and respectfully answered him with a nod. “Yes.”
…
Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang returned to the villa while Lu Yī and the other subordinates parted with them during the journey home to deal with the Black Market affairs.
Currently, only Lu Qi and a few other subordinates were on duty in the living room. They greeted the couple when they came back.
Gu Mang walked over to the coffee table, took a nougat, tore open the packaging, and shoved the nougat into her mouth.
“Hungry?” Lu Chengzhou looked at her.
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows. “A little.”
Lu Chengzhou gently said, “What do you want to eat for lunch? I’ll make it for you.”
“Sweet and sour fish, boiled meat, and mala prawn.” Gu Mang only said three dishes because she was worried that the food would go to waste if she couldn’t finish them.
Spicy food, huh? Lu Chengzhou had heard a thing or two about pregnancy cravings. There was a saying that if an expectant mother craved sour food, their child would be a boy, while spicy food indicated a girl. Thus, his expression became gentle as he looked down at her abdomen with a smile. “Okay. Go have some rest then.”
Gu Mang saw him looking at her stomach, but she said nothing about it. She shook her head and said, “I’m going to the lab to do some control experiments.
“Okay.” Lu Chengzhou nodded and took out a few more candies to stuff in her pockets.
Gu Mang then tossed the packaging into the trash bin and turned around to head upstairs. Only when she completely disappeared from sight did Lu Chengzhou retract his gaze and go to the kitchen.
Gu Mang pushed open the lab door to find Yu Mufeng and Gu Si inside. Gu Si was wearing a white coat and standing on a chair to conduct experiments. At the sight of his sister, he asked curiously, “Why are you back so early, sis?”
Yu Mufeng looked at her in puzzlement as well.
“I had nothing to do.” Gu Mang took out the protective gear and white coat from the wardrobe and put them on before conducting the experiment with Yu Mufeng and Gu Si.
While things were all peaceful and quiet at the villa, it was a chaotic mess outside. Firstly, a portion of Gu Mang’s forces in the capital had been attacked. Everyone was caught off-guard, so they ended up suffering a tragic loss. The same thing was happening to her other forces at the same time.
When the Head Elder received news of this matter, he finally put his heart and mind at ease. He laughed as he leaned back against his seat. Brahma has chosen to work with us and turn against Gu Mang. I want to see what she’s capable of doing without the Killer Alliance backing her up.
The Killer Alliance knew very well what God Ji was capable of and Brahma knew that it would not be in his interest to go against Gu Mang. That was why he seized the opportunity to launch a sudden attack to catch her off-guard and not give her any chance to retaliate. The men he sent to deal with Gu Mang’s forces were elites working for him and they were especially ruthless.
The commotion was so huge that both the good and bad forces were all talking about the matter. Even the international community became uneasy. There were many different opinions regarding the feud between Brahma and God Ji.
Upon receiving news from his subordinate, Jiangsui froze in place out of shock and anger. “What? It was Brahma’s men who attacked us? Are you sure about it?!”
