chapter 11 Gangnam King, died

Gangnam King is dead!
He fell flat on the ground, eyes wide in disbelief. He never expected Candice to be so decisive, shooting him without hesitation.

The entire scene fell into a deathly silence.

Then, with a deafening blast, Gangnam King's mansion erupted into chaos.

"Gangnam King is dead! Gangnam King is dead!!!" Countless wealthy magnates, upon witnessing Gangnam King's demise, were struck with terror, rushing out of his residence in a frenzy.

Even the commanders of the Royal Guards seemed as though they had seen a ghost, abandoning their armor and fleeing for their lives.

Gangnam King was dead. The Master of Taichi, Marco, had been struck down by Samuel's palm. If they stayed here, Samuel might unleash a massacre.

"Gangnam King is dead?" Luca, the wealthiest man in Jiangshui County, trembled, his legs giving way beneath him.

"How could Gangnam King be dead?" The chairman of YS Automotive in Jiangnan City stood rooted in place, sweat pouring down.

"This woman killed Gangnam King? Am I dreaming?" Lin, the head of Jinyuan 5-Star Hotel, raised his hand and gave himself a harsh slap.

"Snap!" A sharp pain coursed through him. This was no dream.

"My lord! Waaah…"

"Dad!"

The people of the Wang family were on the verge of tears. It was Gangnam King's sixtieth birthday, and he had been killed?

"You killed my dad, I'm going to kill you!" A young man in a sharp suit, looking refined, charged forward, ready to strike at Candice.

"Dare you touch my senior?" Samuel's gaze turned icy.

With just a glance, the man was so frightened that he lay prostrate on the ground, unable to move.

"Candice, you're truly a madwoman. You dare to kill Gangnam King. Even the Wang family in Jinling won't be able to protect you!" Remy's face turned pale, and he hurriedly left the Wang residence.

"Madwoman!" Timothy and Felix, after a glance at Candice, along with the group of aristocratic youths from Jinling, all retreated one after another.

Gangnam King's concubines scattered like a beehive.

The once lively Wang residence was now empty, with only the lifeless bodies of Gangnam King and his cohorts remaining.

"My tenth senior, was this necessary?" Samuel looked at Candice, somewhat helpless.

"Weren't you planning to kill him? I helped you. Is that not good?" Candice regained her composure and smiled gently.

She knew she had caused a great uproar. As long as she could protect Samuel, she was willing to take on any charges. Plus, by killing Gangnam King, Samuel wouldn't be able to continue investigating the cause of his parents and older brother's deaths, keeping him out of danger.

She would bear the sole responsibility for killing Gangnam King, and it was a bargain.

"My tenth senior, you've just cut off one of my leads," Samuel said with a wry smile.

"Junior, promise me, don't continue this investigation," Candice pleaded.

"I can't!" Samuel frowned and shook his head decisively. "My tenth senior, I must find out the truth behind my parents' deaths. Judging by Gangnam King's tone, someone gave the order to kill my parents and older brother. Since Gangnam King won't talk, I'll go to his superior. Even if it takes me to the capital, I won't hesitate."

"I must avenge my parents and bring peace to their souls!"

"Why? Why won't you listen to reason?" Candice stamped her foot anxiously.

"Ding, ding, ding!" Just then, Candice's phone rang.

Glancing at the caller ID, her pretty face twitched slightly. Then, she turned to Samuel and said, "Junior, I have something to attend to. I'll contact you later."

"My tenth senior, what's going on?" Samuel was puzzled.

"I'll tell you later." Candice shook her head and quickly left Gangnam King's residence. She returned to her car, made sure Samuel hadn't followed her and then dialed the number.

"You killed Gangnam King?"

As soon as the call connected, a man's voice came from the other end.

Candice's expression turned cold, and her brows furrowed. After a deep breath, as if making a certain decision, she said icily, "Yes."

"You!" The man on the other end was angry. "You're audacious. Do you realize the uproar this will cause? It's been less than five minutes, and news has already reached Jinling. Jiangdong, Jiangnan City, Jiangbei, they've probably heard too."

"But that's Gangnam King! How could you kill him?" The man was extremely furious.

"Dad, we're from the Wang family in Jinling. Should we be afraid of a mere Gangnam King?" Candice sneered, her face filled with pride.

"You! You're being foolish! Stupid! Gangnam King holds a high position, and my Wang family might not fear him, but he has the War God backing him up! Even if our Wang family holds a hereditary position, we can't afford to offend a War God!" The man was seething with anger.

"Oh, I almost forgot. It's the Wang family that's afraid, not me, Candice," she responded calmly.

"Heh, don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" The man sneered. "That man named Samuel, he's your junior, isn't he? Did you kill Gangnam King for him?"

"Yes," Candice replied bluntly.

"Fine, I'll have him killed immediately, and then I'll shift all the blame onto him, giving the War God Urbo an explanation," the man said in a detached tone.

"Caleb, you dare!" Candice, who had been cold and indifferent, exploded upon hearing this. Her eyes blazed with fury, and she declared, "Caleb if you dare harm a single hair on my junior's head, don't blame me for disregarding the father-daughter relationship!"

"You…"

Caleb was dumbstruck. After a long silence, a powerless sigh came through. "Candice, I'm your dad."

"The day you drove my mom to her death, you stopped being one," Candice's eyes reddened, her pride preventing her tears from falling.

"Why do you have to do this? You're just a girl. You insisted on going out on your own. When you wanted to study at Kunlun Mountain, I agreed. When you wanted to develop on your own in Jiangnan City, I agreed. But now that you've killed Gangnam King, what am I supposed to do?" Caleb was utterly helpless.

"I can handle it on my own," Candice said indifferently.

"You can't handle it! The wrath of the War God Urbo, not to mention you, even our Wang family can't withstand it! And then there's your junior. Do you think the War God will spare him?" Caleb didn't mince words, his voice icy. "Besides, there's that man. He's returned from the capital and even accepted him as his disciple. You know what he said - once he returns from the capital, he'll marry you. Our Wang family has no choice but to agree."
