chapter 9 Yun city Underground Emperor

Boom! Ten minutes later, Randy Ling, upon receiving the text message, tossed the doctor into the car and sped off to his destination. Ring! Ring! Ring! Less than ten minutes after the car departed, the phone rang. "Speak!" Randy Ling answered in a deep voice after pressing the answer button. "Sir, I'm Kerr Zhang. I've managed to uncover the identities of the four people who abducted Viola," came Kerr Zhang's voice from the other end of the line. "This time, Elmer Duan's associates most likely set them in motion..." "I'm already aware. He's at Tianhai Restaurant right now. Please arrange for someone to clean up the aftermath later!" Randy Ling interjected. After conveying those instructions, he promptly ended the call and forcefully pressed the accelerator pedal. Tianhai Restaurant, one of Yun City's most opulent dining establishments! The individual patrons who had been complaining moments ago fell silent and hurriedly vacated their seats upon hearing the mention of the "Fourth Master." Fourth Master—a name that struck fear into the hearts of all in Yun City! Not just common folks, even members of several influential families in Yun City had to show respect to the Fourth Master. On ordinary days, the diners here were either wealthy or influential; it was a place beyond the reach of ordinary white-collar workers. Today, from the afternoon onwards, the restaurant had barred all customers from entering. The reason? Fourth Master was hosting his birthday party here tonight. "May Fourth Master Zhu enjoy eternal blessings and a long life!" The entire room rose to their feet and shouted in unison, their voices deafening. "Thank you, my brothers. Allow me to raise this glass in a toast!" Zhu responded with gratitude, lifting his glass. At six in the evening, the restaurant's dining area was already bustling with a lively crowd. In addition to individuals from Yun City's underworld, representatives from prominent families arrived bearing generous gifts. To avoid suspicion, however, they all left after presenting their gifts. At 6:08, a Maybach pulled up at the restaurant's entrance, and Elmer Duan entered the dining area flanked by four top lieutenants. "To Fourth Master!" The guests raised their glasses in unison. Whoosh! In that moment, a figure in white streaked in at high speed through the restaurant's entrance—a man who had previously passed out. Did someone want to meet their demise? Boom! Boom! Boom! A slender figure appeared at the entrance, his expression impassive, as he calmly advanced toward the main table. Whoosh! Everyone in the room turned to face the entrance simultaneously, their expressions registering astonishment. How dare someone disrupt Fourth Master's birthday party? It was as if they had no regard for Elmer Duan! The audience grew increasingly curious about the identity of this audacious visitor. Who could be so bold? "Do you wish to meet your end?!" Elmer Duan narrowed his eyes, his anger simmering beneath the surface. However, with years of experience in the world, he didn't immediately explode. Instead, he reached for a cigar from the dining table, lit it, and took a deep drag. Since ascending to the throne of Yun City's underground emperor, he hadn't encountered anyone who dared to provoke him in such a manner. Bang! Bang! Bang! Tables and chairs were sent crashing to the ground, and figures writhed in agony, their pained howls filling the air. In less than three minutes, apart from the ten individuals at the main table, hundreds of others lay paralyzed on the ground, some dead, some maimed. Chaos reigned. After a brief moment of silence in the dining area, three to four hundred people rose in unison, charging towards Randy Ling with roaring determination. Bang! Bang! Bang! In the next instant, the entire dining area resembled a scene from a movie, with figures sent flying through the air, trails of blood etched in their wake. Elmer Duan choked on his cigar, tears streaming down his face. His cigar hand trembled uncontrollably, his face a mask of utter horror. One man had, in just three minutes, incapacitated hundreds of his men! What was happening? Bah! Apart from Elmer Duan, the other nine individuals at the main table had their jaws hanging open, their faces contorted in disbelief. Boom! Boom! Boom! Subsequently, the four lieutenants each produced a Desert Eagle from their persons and opened fire on Randy Ling, bullets raining down like a storm. Ding! Ding! Ding! It was entirely beyond their comprehension! When had a man of this caliber appeared in Yun City? "Damn, you really don't know your limits, do you?" A voice rang out from the main table after a while. Boom! Boom! Boom! Except for Elmer Duan, the other nine were lifted off their feet and sent sprawling onto the ground, blood spurting as they struck the floor. Horror painted every face! What left them in despair was that the bullets fell harmlessly to the ground several centimeters away from Randy Ling, as though they had struck an impenetrable barrier, emitting a resounding clang. Whoosh! Randy Ling raised his hand and swept it outward, releasing a violent blast of air towards the main table. Elmer Duan tumbled to the ground, his face drained of color, drenched in cold sweat. When had he provoked a man of such caliber? "You... who are you?" Elmer Duan stammered nervously upon Randy Ling's arrival. Bullets couldn't even approach him—how could he be this powerful? Was he truly human? Boom! "Viola? What Viola? I...I have no idea what you're talking about..." A flicker of panic passed through the eyes of Blazing Wolf and Elmer Duan simultaneously. Puff! "Who is Blazing Wolf?" Randy Ling's voice was bone-chilling. "You... what do you intend to do?" Blazing Wolf, lying on the ground, struggled to speak. "Remember, I'm asking only once!" Randy Ling turned his gaze to him. "Where did your people take Viola?" Hiss! Elmer Duan drew a deep breath. A mere disagreement could cost someone their life, a hundredfold more ruthless than in the underworld. Before Blazing Wolf could finish speaking, a powerful gust of wind erupted from Randy Ling's palm. It was like a high-pressure shockwave striking his heart, causing a cloud of blood mist to burst forth. Blazing Wolf attempted to speak, but no words emerged. Kicking his legs, he gasped for breath before succumbing. "The Lei family, the most prominent clan in Yun City, correct?" Randy Ling interrupted. "Yes, that's right…" "Where is Viola now?" "You have one last opportunity!" Randy Ling then turned to Elmer Duan. "It's in your best interest not to test my patience!" "Yes... Firas Lei, the patriarch of the Lei family, implored me to help find a suitable heart donor for his granddaughter. The Viola you mentioned happened to be a perfect match for his granddaughter, so..." Elmer Duan's strength waned, and he responded rapidly. "Two hours ago, Mr. Lei... Mr. Lei personally transported Viola to Jianghai City. His granddaughter has been awaiting surgery in Jianghai..." "It's likely that they will reach the operating room within an hour at most... Even if you were to chase them now... it may already be too late..." "Yun... Yun City's hospital lacks the capability for heart transplants..." Elmer Duan added, his voice strained. "She... has already been taken to the Lei Family Estate..." Elmer Duan's words trailed off. "She is... currently..." "What are you trying to say?!" Randy Ling's heart raced as a surge of unease washed over him. Boom! Before he could utter another word, an aura exuding boundless power exploded from Randy Ling's body! ..
