Seeing Yang Yu had stopped speaking, Shen Silin couldn’t help but laugh, "Just kidding, don’t mind me. Plus, I think your approach is pretty good, many entertainment companies are doing the same."
"Without capital, those amateurs without connections simply can’t rise, so they’re not in a position to negotiate with capital."
"Once their worth goes up, they probably won’t care about the breach of contract penalties. Capital seeks profit, and without benefits, why would capitalists act like philanthropists? As long as the contract is clear, it’s not cheating."
"And yet you criticize me," Yang Yu felt somewhat dejected, "my fervent desire to make money has been quelled by you."
"Okay, okay, I apologize, happy now?" Shen Silin laughed, "Let’s do it your way then. The company headquarters will be in your Xinhai Building, you’ll contribute the efforts, and I’ll cover all the other expenses."
"Good, it’s settled then," Yang Yu chuckled, "Mr. Shen, a pleasure doing business with you."
Shen Silin: "A pleasure doing business indeed."
Japan, Edo City, Yamada Group headquarters building.
The atmosphere in a not-so-large office was unusually oppressive.
Yamada Ken smoked sullenly, Young Master Li, Li Chengze, held a cup of tea, not knowing if he could even taste the tea.
Looking at Castle, who was exuding a murderous aura, Dr. Jackson was trembling with fear, chilled to the bone even without the cold.
They were all individuals Yang Yu knew, plus a Caucasian man whom Yang Yu had never seen before.
This Caucasian man looked ordinary, with an average build, the kind of person who would leave no impression standing in a crowd.
Yet, no one there dared to underestimate him because he was the leader of the Grey Wolf Killer Organization, codenamed Grey Wolf.
These people had gathered together for one sole purpose—to deal with Yang Yu.
Li Chengze was the first to speak up, breaking the silence, "President Yamada, the project we were cooperating on with Kesdel Company was about to succeed, but then Yang Yu created such a mess, causing Saint Louis Hospital to attract the attention of Japanese officials, and we had to relocate our lab. The losses have been severe."
"Therefore, I hope Mr. Castle and Mr. Grey Wolf can take action to help us eliminate our common enemy."
Castle’s face was full of scorn, "Young Master Li, Xia Country is your turf, and with your wealth, finding someone to kill Yang Yu wouldn’t be difficult. So why come to us?"
Grey Wolf, however, was expressionless, "Jera and Shadow are still in Tianhai City with your brother, practically working for the Li Family for free. Without payment, we won’t lift a finger."
"That’s the thing," Li Chengze explained, "Yanhuang Team is watching me and Yang Yu closely. If I get anyone from Xia Country to deal with Yang Yu, Yanhuang Team will trace it back to me sooner or later. Mr. Castle and Mr. Grey Wolf are foreigners; even if Yanhuang Team knows I hired you, they can’t do anything to me."
"As for the money, as long as Yang Yu is killed, everything’s negotiable. Isn’t that right, President Yamada?"
Yamada Ken nodded, "No matter what Young Master Li offers, I’ll add another billion US Dollars as long as Yang Yu is killed."
"Great." As soon as he heard there was money involved, Grey Wolf’s eyes lit up, "Give us a billion dollars upfront, and we will commence an unrelenting assassination of Yang Yu. Either Yang Yu dies, or we, Grey Wolf, will be utterly destroyed. Once we have killed Yang Yu, you’ll pay another billion US Dollars."
"Give me the other billion," Castle said, "My Mercenary Corps is also very interested in taking this job. In the end, whoever kills Yang Yu, the other party will pay the billion to them. What do you think?"
"Okay, I have no objections," Li Chengze said with a slight smile, "but I have a timeline, three months. What do you two think?"
Yamada Ken also nodded repeatedly, "Right, three months. It’s not like you can keep failing to kill Yang Yu and still hang onto our money."
"I agree." Castle turned his gaze to Grey Wolf, "Mr. Grey Wolf, what about you?"
Grey Wolf stood up and said to Castle, "Let’s go then, to Xia Country. If my men can’t handle it, we’ll take action together."
"Thank you both. Yang Yu’s life is now in your hands to reap," Li Chengze said with a satisfied smile, "Besides, the task of rebuilding the biological laboratory in the Southern Ocean will be entrusted to Dr. Jackson."
Dr. Jackson promptly nodded, "Rest assured, Young Master Li, this laboratory will definitely not end up like Saint Louis Hospital!"
At Tianhai City Third Renal Hospital, Lan Xiaomeng was on the night shift in the emergency room when a group of drunkards, carrying a fellow who was vomiting profusely, staggered into the ER, "My buddy drank too much... passed out... you guys need to... take a look quickly..."
"Alright." The emergency room doctor immediately began to diagnose the patient, and Lan Xiaomeng also brought various instruments to test the patient.
By accident, Lan Xiaomeng stepped on one of their feet and quickly apologized, "Sir, I am sorry..."
"Ah—" Lan Xiaomeng let out a scream, as half of her face immediately swelled from the slap.
The slightly overweight man glared with wide eyes, barking harshly, "Are you blind? Watch where you’re walking!"
"I already said I was sorry, and you still hit me?" Lan Xiaomeng covered her face, but was not willing to let it go, "I’m calling the police..."
"Call your mom!" The man slapped Lan Xiaomeng’s other cheek, causing both sides of her face to swell up.
The defiant Lan Xiaomeng took out her phone, but before she could dial, the man smacked it to the ground.
Bending over to pick up her phone, Lan Xiaomeng felt the man’s foot stomp on her hand.
"Ah—" Lan Xiaomeng let out a piercing scream, yet the man was not finished; he kicked her in the ribs.
Lan Xiaomeng collapsed to the ground on the spot, and the man kept coming over, delivering several more kicks to her back, "That’s for putting on airs!"
"Fourth Young Master, stop hitting her, someone could die!" A few of the drunks finally regained a bit of sobriety and hurriedly restrained their companion.
Only then did the man notice Lan Xiaomeng bleeding from all orifices, got a shock, then shouted viciously at the doctors and nurses in the emergency room, "Listen up, I am Liu Qian, the Fourth Young Master of Tianhai City’s Liu Family. Just say you didn’t see anything, and someone will take the fall when the time comes. Whoever dares to testify, you’ll be offending the Liu Family, and you’ll bear the consequences!"
Liu Qian looked around, then pointed at one of the drunks, "You, go turn yourself in right now. I’ll cover all treatment costs and compensation, and I’ll give you a million dollars!"
Upon hearing about the million dollars, the drunk’s eyes immediately lit up, "Mr. Liu, no problem, I’ll carry this can!"
"Carry what?" Liu Qian glared, "It was you who did it!"
The drunk’s face broke into a smile, "Yes, yes, it was me, I’ll go confess right now, haha!"
