Before she knew it, tears had silently streamed down her cheeks.

"You have to promise me you'll come back alive. Don't die. If you die, I'll die with you." These words came out of Maya's mouth perfectly naturally, without any sense of incongruity.

But it carries a resolute determination that makes it impossible not to believe.

After hearing what Maya said, Yu Feng couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

He knew Maya wasn't joking.

If something really happens to him, Maya will go to the underworld with him.

"Do I really have to do that just to feel better? Is it really necessary to go that far? But if I don't do it, won't I be a coward?"...

"I fear loss, I fear death, because once I die, I will lose everything."

"The more fearful you are, the easier it is to lose what is important. I... will never let the past repeat itself. I must become stronger, protect everything I cherish, and I must take action."

Ma Li was torn by an intense internal struggle.

Finally, he looked firmly at Maya and solemnly made his promise.

"I will definitely return safely. You wait for me at home, be good, and listen to the old man."

His voice was soft, yet it carried a convincing power.

“I believe you,” Maya replied without hesitation.

The old man watched from the side, shaking his head. At his age, he was rarely moved by such emotions. But Maya and Mali's actions reminded him of his own carefree youth. At that moment, the setting sun cast its last rays into the courtyard, bathing the entire space in a magnificent glow.

The old man looked up at the horizon, his eyes filled with reminiscence.

He remembered... how he used to run in the sunset when he was young, that was his lost youth.

"It's great to be young."

The old man let out a sigh.

The sunset was beautiful, but it was already dusk, just like his youth that was gone forever.

……

Some people are happy that someone is worried.

Two flowers bloom, let's each tell our story.

The venomous snake on the island in the lake was now ashen-faced.

The successive killings of his men had him on edge, on the verge of collapse. He wasn't sure if Eagle had learned of his plans or if someone else had been behind it.

Eagle also learned that several of Viper's men had died.

Eagle took this very seriously. After all, Viper was now practically one of his own, and Viper's losses were his losses; he considered Viper's power his private property. At this moment, he too was burning with rage.

"Damn it, who did this?"

"Don't let me catch you, or I'll make him regret it." Eagle was a ruthless character; as he spoke, he shot and killed the slave standing nearby. The slave had just been carrying a fruit platter, preparing to place the fruit on the tea table.

Who could have imagined that he would die the next moment?

Until his death, the slave's eyes were filled with confusion.

He didn't understand what he had done wrong, or why he had been suddenly killed by his master. His status was as lowly as an ant; how could he possibly understand the eagle's inner thoughts?

His death had no impact on the Eagles.

Killing this slave was as easy for the eagle as crushing an ant.

When in a bad mood, the eagle often kills, and those killed are naturally the lowly slaves. The viper disagrees with the eagle's actions, believing that slaves are the best subordinates, the easiest to please, and rare cannon fodder.

But almost every day... the eagle kills someone.

The viper, however dissatisfied with the eagle's behavior, would never voice it.

He's not in charge now, so he has no right to lecture the eagle.

Nowadays, venomous snakes are merely dependent on others; they can eat whatever they want, but they can't say whatever they want.

"If it's not Eagle, then who could it be? Could it be some other organization nearby that learned of my plan and wanted to take advantage of the chaos? Several of my brothers were killed after their negotiations with them failed and they ended up in conflict?" Viper began to analyze and speculate in his mind again.

The Eagle's actions led him to remove the other party from his list of suspects.

If the Eagle really knew his plan, and if he really did kill his own brothers, then he wouldn't need to pretend here. There must be someone else involved.

As for who is behind this, that remains to be investigated.

"Could it be those kids from China who've caught up with us? This is already Burmese territory. If they dare to chase us, aren't they afraid they won't come back alive?" Viper shook his head again, dismissing his own speculation. He believed that someone else was behind this.

Having roamed the underworld for many years, Viper was well aware of the conflicts between organizations caused by interests. Killing for profit was nothing out of the ordinary.

The eagle seemed to sense that the viper had some suspicions, and then asked.

"Do you have some enemies coming to your door? What do you think about this?"

In response to Eagle's question, Viper casually replied, "This time it might not be my enemies coming after me, but rather other forces eyeing this piece of fat meat in your hands."

As he said this, a slight smile played on his lips...

It seemed as if it was blaming itself for the trouble caused by the eagle that had implicated it.

In fact, he is absolutely involved in this matter.

But his words completely absolved him of any suspicion, and the eagle actually believed them.

An eagle that has roamed the world for many years appears so vulnerable in the face of a venomous snake.

From beginning to end, he was completely manipulated by the venomous snake, yet he believed he was in control and genuinely thought the snake wanted to join him and find a job under his command.

Having been the boss for so many years, how could the venomous snake be willing to be subordinate to someone else?

The eagle actually thought he had the charm to subdue vipers; it has to be said, he was incredibly naive.

“If this matter involves me, I will never treat you unfairly.”

“Your men have died, and I will definitely pay the compensation, but I cannot give you an explanation until the investigation is complete,” Eagle said confidently to Viper.

His tone of voice was entirely that of someone in a superior position.

The viper, seizing the opportune moment, flattered him, saying:
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Boss. I hope you can get justice for my dead brother."

It must be said that he does have a talent for acting.

Tears come so easily, as if they're free.

Ordinary people cannot do this, and that kind of sadness is something that ordinary people cannot fake.

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you justice in this matter."

"Call Scorpion over, and then call all the other brothers over, and let's discuss countermeasures together."

These words from the eagle were exactly what the viper had been waiting for.

He had been trying to get Eagle to say those words. No matter how many of his men had died in the past few days, he would not postpone tonight's plan. He was going to get rid of Eagle tonight.

Or rather, it was precisely because of all these unexpected events that he was even more unwilling to delay. The longer it dragged on, the more unforeseen problems would arise.

The eagle, that fool, has no idea that he's about to be in big trouble.

He even thought that the viper had been subdued by his domineering aura. He also planned to give out more compensation to appease people and show everyone his generosity as the leader, thus setting an example so that the team would be easier to manage in the future.

……

"Sixth Brother, Eighth Brother, have you made arrangements for the other two aspects?"

Scorpion asked his two other accomplices.

Tonight's operation is of paramount importance and cannot afford the slightest mistake.

When the sixth and eighth brothers heard Scorpion's question, they immediately gave him an OK sign.

“Most people have already chosen to pledge allegiance to us. They follow the Eagles for the money, and the Eagles can give us what they can give us, and even double it. They have no reason not to choose us.”

The sixth man said, his expression carrying a hint of pride.

Having followed Boss Viper, they were no longer ordinary subordinates.

Now, they have achieved financial freedom. Even if they didn't work in this industry, they would still have tens of millions of yuan. If they just restrain themselves a little, they could never spend it all in their lifetime.

The eighth and sixth brothers had similar ideas.

They had risked their lives alongside venomous snakes and were considered veterans.

The viper did indeed regard them as his staunch confidants.

The venomous snake is never stingy with its own people; it deeply understands the importance of human nature.

When it comes to brothers, you have to be willing to spend money.

Giving money may seem cliché, but it's the most practical thing to do.

This is much better than empty words and promises.

"My situation is similar. Once the plan is implemented, the resistance of the remaining 20% ​​is not a threat at all. Faced with an absolute advantage, I believe they will also choose to submit."

The eighth brother spoke with a hint of disdain in his expression.

"I can't be bothered with that group of people. They always give us attitude and don't even know their own worth. It's the same whether they're here or not. In fact, they save us some money."

His words were agreed upon by Lao Liu, and Scorpion also quite agreed.

Those who once tripped them up and looked down on them will be killed by them sooner or later.

In fact, the three of them tacitly avoided trying to persuade this group to surrender.

This is done so that we can find a better reason to get rid of them later.

"Heh, they're just a bunch of people who can't see the situation clearly. They still think their boss is worth following. That 80 million in funding was just given to them by our boss."

"Even if he wanted to spend the money, he wouldn't have the chance."

"What's the point of giving him more money? He might have the life to take it but not the life to spend it. If it weren't for our boss trying to keep him from suspecting anything, we could give him all the money without any problem."

The scorpion said with a half-smile.

The other brothers also understood what he meant.

The eagles are just managing money for their boss.

No matter how generous the gifts, they will all be lost in the end.

Of course, they were not afraid of what the snake boss would do to them.

Viper is quite shrewd in his actions. His kindness towards his teammates might have an element of pretense, but he's never given himself away. If he can maintain this persona for life, it will be indistinguishable from the real thing. This echoes the old Chinese saying—if a person can pretend to be a good person for a lifetime, then he is undoubtedly a truly good person.

People are often multifaceted.

Usually, what appears on the surface is not the truest form of reality.

Everyone has their own "mask," so their true thoughts are not that important.

Just like the saying "judge by actions, not by intentions," what matters is what you actually did, not what you thought. If we were to judge by intentions, there would probably be no perfect person in the world.

The eagle made a mistake in his judgment, but that doesn't mean he was a fool.

His speculation is actually based on some evidence.

During this period, the nearby Wave organization did show some signs of stirring up trouble, but the Wave members are not reckless and are currently observing from the sidelines.

Originally, they planned to take advantage of the situation to make a profit.

But recently, things have started to go wrong.

They noticed some key issues that others had not.

At this point, two opposing voices emerged within the Waves organization: one group advocated taking action against the Rock organization, while the other advocated continuing to observe. Unable to reach a consensus, the two sides remained deadlocked.

"Why haven't we made a move yet? If we miss this opportunity, it will be much harder to find such a chance again." The second-in-command of the Waves organization was very puzzled by his boss's actions.

Normally, he was extremely respectful to his boss.

But on such crucial issues, even the second-in-command is unwilling to easily give up their own ideas.

The Wave Organization differs from other organizations in that it has only two leaders, with everyone else serving as subordinates. However, they do distribute profits fairly among the others.

"That's why I can be the boss, and you can only be number two."

The leader of the Waves organization laughed disdainfully, "You're really too superficial. I've taken good care of you all these years, and you're still so slow-witted."

These words infuriated Asa, the second-in-command.

Asa couldn't understand why his elder brother, Buyilang, would say such a thing.

Was his decision really that bad? Wasn't he thinking of the interests of the Wave Organization? If he missed this opportunity now, it wouldn't be so easy to deal with the Rock Organization in the future... Thinking of this, Asa suddenly paused and realized something.

If he could think of the problem himself, how could his elder brother, Buyilang, not have thought of it?
It seems that the eldest brother has noticed a crucial point that he had not paid attention to.

There are probably some traps hidden in this.

"What, you're only realizing it now? Looks like you're not completely hopeless after all." Seeing his second brother finally come to his senses, Buyilang smiled with relief.

The meeting hall of the Waves organization is a cave formed by stone walls.

As they talked, the faint sound of the sea breeze could be heard.

You can even hear the sound of waves crashing against the rocks, which suggests that the cave is located on a cliff by the sea. In terms of seclusion, it is indeed very well hidden.

The safety index is also quite high.

This is a major characteristic of wave organization.

Of course, this is not the only similar outpost.

Each of their discussion meetings was held in a different coastal region.

The other subordinates breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that their two bosses had finally reached a consensus.

The two bosses were locked in a fierce argument just now, leaving them too afraid to even breathe.

As they expected, the eldest brother was indeed the eldest brother, and he was far more capable than the second brother in every aspect. However, they were still unclear about what exactly went wrong.

He felt the questioning gazes of his many subordinates and his foolish younger brother.

Finally, the leader of the Waves organization, Buyi Lang, said with a smile. (End of Chapter)
