Chapter 288 Aren’t You afraid?
Gong Yu sniggered and looked at the two of them, with raised eyebrows. “I thought that since Mr. Stephen has been around in the underworld for such a long time, you would be considered as a man who has the guts to act and take responsibility for your actions. I never expected you to be a coward, who is afraid to own up to your actions. It seems that my expectations of you were too high.”

After Gong Yu said this, Kyle’s face instantly flushed a deep red, which was very obvious on his fair skin. Lauren took one look at Kyle, then looked at Gong Yu. He was actually slightly fearful of Gong Yu.

Kyle Stephen’s psychological aptitude was much better than Lauren Crane. While he currently did not dare to lower his guard against Gong Yu, he still maintained a tough attitude, and questioned him coolly, “Mr. Gong, this is a deliberate provocation! Do you know how long I have been around already? ”

Gong Yu’s face was still cold and his arrogance was overpowering. He was not in the least intimidated by Kyle Stephen’s words. Instead, he replied in an even harsher and colder tone, “Haha, Mr. Stephen, I understand what you mean. In that case, don’t blame me for not going easy on you! ”

After Gong Yu said this, he looked up at both of them with an unfathomable look in his eyes. His lips curled into a casual smile, that actually had a hint of evil in it. In his heart, Lauren Crane was already afraid of Gong Yu, and now, his heart tightened even more, when he saw that evil smile.

Kyle Stephen’s heart was also starting to have doubts, but he thought that there was nothing to fear from this young, immature brat, now that the Murong Gang had been turned upside down. Furthermore, his Black Collar Organization was now at the summit of its power, and had already become an invincible organization that nobody could beat. Thus, his heart was at ease.

“Just wait and see! I want to know what you are capable of.”

Gong Yu seemed to be very satisfied with Kyle Stephen’s reaction. The more his voice was like a slap in the face, the louder it will be, and it would likely be more satisfying.

Gong Yu gestured towards Second and Second picked up a remote control from the side. The TV, which nobody was paying attention to, turned on in an instant, and the latest news was shown.

When Kyle Stephen saw the contents on the screen, his face turned green instantly. The TV was showing a scene of a coffee shop that had been deliberately attacked and the perpetrators being taken away by the police. The reporter, who was at the sidelines, was reporting on the latest status of the situation, but his final, crucial sentence was “While these people acted in the name of the Murong Gang, it was confirmed that this was not the work of the Murong Gang. The actual identity of the perpetrator was suspected to be from the Black Collar Organization. Further verification is required for the specific situation.”

The screen which showed the female reporter faded out, and the host of the live broadcast program continued with an in-depth explanation of the topic. Second paused the TV at this moment, and Gong Yu looked at Kyle Stephen nonchalantly.

“What do you mean by this?” Kyle Stephen was no longer indifferent at this time, but he continued to pretend to appear unaffected.

Gong Yu did not reply, and got Second to continue to play the news.

The news started to play again. The scene cut to another office building in another city. It was the same scenario. Someone deliberately created a terrorist attack, but the police managed to stop it on time. This time, another reporter pointed out that the whistleblower was a member of the Murong Family. They claimed that there were many individuals who constantly do evil, using the name of the Murong Gang and this made them very angry. Thus, they found out about the other party’s actions and filed a report.

Subsequently, events at all the locations were reported, one after another. All of them involved Kyle Stephen’s men. Almost all of the men involved in the operations that he had arranged for today, had been captured by the police. Not a single operation slipped through the net. This made Kyle Stephen’s heart sink increasingly, and his face grew darker by the minute.

He had dispatched almost all of his men today. Once they were all captured, this would mean that his entire army would be wiped out. Even if he could use his current power and influence to get these brothers out, the distribution was too wide and the men were too scattered. Even if he went from one place to another, he would die of exhaustion.

However, Kyle Stephen did not expect that this was not all that Gong Yu had. He took out his cellphone and played a recording.

The more Kyle Stephen listened, the darker his eyes became and his chest tightened with fear. Sweat broke out on his forehead and his bright, bald head became increasingly shiny. The beads of sweat glistened under the light.

The recording played by Gong Yu, not only contained the evidence of this incident, but also that of his subsequent larger plan.

This plan made Lauren Crane hopping mad and he glared at Kyle Stephen. “Fuck! You actually want to take over my business!”

Kyle Stephen also felt that he was in the wrong. He turned to Gong Yu and continued to argue, “You’re trying to alienate both of us!”

Gong Yu laughed indifferently and gestured towards Second again. Second then clapped his hands twice, and a person was dragged out from the innermost room. When the person was brought closer to him, Lauren Crane then recognized that it was a subordinate who was always at his side. When he saw that his subordinate had been tied up by Gong Yu, anger instantly rose in his heart once more. “What do you mean by this?”

Gong Yu stared at Kyle Stephen. “That depends on you, Mr. Stephen! Do you want to say it yourself, or do you want me to say it for you?”

Kyle Stephen looked towards one side. His tone of voice was no longer as tough as it was earlier. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about!”

Gong Yu looked at Lauren Crane, without haste. “Perhaps it will be clearer if I tell you the relationship between the two of them!”

Lauren Crane turned and looked at his subordinate, before he turned back to look at Kyle Stephen. His heart was already half convinced by what Gong Yu said.

“These two men are stepbrothers, with the same father. What do you think about that?” After Gong Yu said this, he turned and looked towards Kyle Stephen. One could only say that what Gong Yu said, caused Kyle Stephen to completely lose all will to fight, and he sat on the sofa dejectedly.

There was nothing that Lauren Crane could not understand at the moment. He glared at Kyle Stephen, and yearned to shoot him dead instantly.

Gong Yu stood up and walked up to Lauren Crane. He placed both of his hands on his shoulders, pressed him back onto the sofa, before he continued to circle leisurely around the two men. “You can resolve the problem between both of you later. I don’t want to have anything to do with it. However, you have to account to me today. Both of you have to give me 100 million USD, in compensation. Otherwise, I think that I will not mind handing over more evidence to the police. Both of you have quite a lot of secrets. It almost gave me a shock! After figuring it out, it would probably be enough for you two to be imprisoned for life!”

Lauren Crane was afraid of Gong Yu. Now when he saw the endless tricks that Gong Yu had up his sleeve, he wanted to agree decisively. He should just spend that amount of money to buy himself peace of mind. However, 100 million dollar USD was not a small amount. It was also as good as ripping out his tendons and skinning him.

“Can you lower the amount?” Lauren Crane tried to bargain with Gong Yu, but Kyle Stephen rolled his eyes at him. Without waiting for Gong Yu to answer, Kyle Stephen took the lead to speak, “You’re the most useless thing I’ve ever encountered!”

Gong Yu also replied mercilessly, “You mean, the leader of the Red Dragon Gang is not able to fork out this money? Are you blaming me for being too ignorant and quoting a random price?”

Gong Yu was actually very clear about the bottom line of the two people. This money would be a bit of a pinch for Kyle Stephen, but it was not too difficult for him to come up with this amount. However, Lauren Crane had not been progressing very well in recent years, and although he could still fork out this sum of money, it would draw a fair amount of blood from him. He would almost be bled dry, so he will naturally bargain.

“But isn’t this amount of money worth spending, compared to spending the rest of your life in prison? At least I would think so.” Gong Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Lauren Crane. His expression was already one of absolute and unquestionable certainty.

Subsequently, Gong Yu turned to look at Kyle Stephen, and said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, “I think Mr. Stephen would also not be stingy about this amount of money since the future is more important, and this deal would be more worthwhile for you. So many of your brothers are waiting for you inside…”

Gong Yu’s final words were particularly harsh, and it made Kyle Stephen gnash his teeth in rage. After a long silence, he slowly opened his mouth and said, “I hope you will honor your words! I’ll pay you the money tonight!”

Gong Yu smiled and sat back down in his seat. “Okay. As expected, Mr. Stephen is decisive. If I do not see the money at 12 o’clock tonight, then tomorrow…”

Right after that, Gong Yu erupted into a burst of laughter, which made Kyle Stephen’s heart crawl with fear.

Lauren Crane did not dare to say anything more, and he had an extremely conflicted expression on his face. “Before twelve tonight, I’ll pay you, too!”

Gong Yu looked at the two of them, and laughed at them, in his heart.

“No problem. I’ll wait to collect the money today, then! “Beyond that, I would like to take this opportunity to remind both of you that while the Murong Gang is no longer in existence, it does not mean that the Murong Family could be trifled with! Don’t challenge the bottom line of the Murong Family casually. If there should be a second time, I think that it will not be as simple, as just paying some money.”

Kyle Stephen looked at Gong Yu, full of anger and resentment, and Gong Yu could feel that he was speaking through clenched teeth. “Aren’t you afraid, Mr. Gong?”
