Chapter 66 The First
Li Family Basement.
Tao Ruisi stood respectfully and attentively, listening to Li Yun's teachings.
To prevent the King's Palace from causing more problems, Ouyang Zhentian had issued a pursuit order against its members. Now, only the Li family was the safest.
"How is the situation? Have you eliminated Mo Bufan's subordinates?"
"I report to the master, Mo Bufan's four subordinates have already been tricked and killed. The high-ranking officials of the King's Palace were annihilated in this action, and except for me, only James remains."
"A mere James, I can eliminate him at any time and take full control of the King's Palace."
Tao Ruisi's words greatly pleased Li Yun, as he was the one who had designed all of this.
Now everything was going according to plan. Chen Haotian killed Mo Bufan, the high-ranking officials of the King's Palace were almost completely wiped out, and the leaders of the other three major families of Jinling, along with some members, were also eliminated by Mo Bufan's men.
These two powerful forces had been practically destroyed by him; now it was just a matter of waiting to reap the rewards of his work.
Li Yun had already sent people to consolidate the power of the three major families, now all that was left was to ensure control over the Palace.
With the control of the "Pill" over Tao Ruisi, Li Yun had no doubt about her loyalty, but he did question her abilities.
Mo Bufan and his men had been defeated, and in the King's Palace, only Tao Ruisi remained, an expert in the Early Stage of the [Dark Realm]. While she could stabilize the situation in the Palace, she would likely be devoured by foreign forces.
If someone could help Tao Ruisi take full control, it would be perfect.
Someone?
Li Yun seemed to have an idea and quickly contacted the system: "System, can you help me summon a talent from the Transformation Realm?"
"Ding! This system is all-powerful, I can certainly help you solve this problem. The talent exchange center is available in the system store, you can check it yourself."
Talent Exchange Center?
Upon hearing the system's notice, Li Yun immediately opened the system's shop and saw that at the bottom there was a talent exchange area. He clicked on it to see more.
"Common random talent, exchange price: 3000 villain points."
"Random talent with support abilities, exchange price: 5000 villain points."
"Random talent with combat abilities, exchange price: 10000 villain points."
"Random talent in the [Dark Realm], exchange price: 20000-45000 villain points."
"Random talent in the [Transformation Realm], exchange price: 50000-100000 villain points."
"System, exchange a talent in the Early Stage of the [Transformation Realm] for me."
Common talents, even those from the [Dark Realm], were not very helpful to Li Yun. Only a talent from the [Transformation Realm] could help him consolidate his control over the King's Palace.
"Ding! The host has consumed 50000 villain points to successfully exchange for a talent in the Early Stage of the [Transformation Realm]. The host now has 4000 villain points."
"Congratulations, the host has obtained Su Gao, a talented iron blacksmith. The system has automatically assigned his identity. He will appear by your side in three days."
[Name] Su Gao
[Identity] Talent exchanged by the host, leader of the Su stronghold
[Realm] Early Transformation Realm
[Speed] 1500
[Strength] 1800
[Charm] 76
[Luck Value] 100
[Skills] Master Blacksmith (Master level), Cold Weapon Expert (Master level), Martial Arts (Master level)
[Items] None
[Trust] 100
Upon seeing the system notification, Li Yun only smiled.
This Su Gao not only had three skills, but the system had also assigned him the leadership of a foreign stronghold, which made it even easier to help Tao Ruisi.
And his 100% trust was even more reassuring than the "Pill" he gave to Tao Ruisi. This was absolute loyalty.
...
Two days later.
A regular car left the city of Jinling, heading toward the border of the Great Han Empire.
Su Gao and Tao Ruisi were traveling together to take control of the Palace on Li Yun's behalf.
With these two present, Li Yun no longer had to worry about the Palace.
The next task would be to handle the other three major families of Jinling.
With the death of Gu Wu, Yang Kaidao, and Chen Tianfang, their sons, regardless of their fame or reputation, could not compare to these three, and they could not control the veterans in their companies.
Li Yun, as an older member of the family, could not allow his nephews to be disregarded, so he naturally had to help them.
With the intervention of the Kaiyang Group and Li Yun, the three families were finally stabilized.
The three families were deeply grateful to Li Yun and expressed that, in the future, they would blindly follow his orders.
Of course, Li Yun didn't pay much attention to these formal words and only smiled, not taking them too seriously.
To avoid seeming too greedy, Li Yun chose a gradual strategy. He had already dealt with these people a long time ago.
...
Li Family.
A shout echoed, and needless to say, it was the return of Li Yun's car.
At the mansion, Gu Yanran, upon hearing the noise, instinctively ran toward the garden gate.
"Master, you're back!"
Gu Yanran, with her head bowed, stepped forward and opened the car door for Li Yun.
After this time of living together and under Li Yun's "torture," Gu Yanran had slowly adapted to this life.
Perhaps she didn't even realize that she had gone from being reluctant to not rejecting it at all, and even starting to enjoy it.
She didn't even know if she liked this lifestyle or if she simply enjoyed the lessons Li Yun had prepared for her.
Thinking of the day Li Yun whipped her, Gu Yanran's heart fluttered involuntarily.
That feeling seemed a bit addictive.
"What's wrong with me? Why am I thinking about this?"
Gu Yanran immediately shook her head, trying to clear her mind.
Why was she thinking about this? Why did she like that feeling?
Li Yun got out of the car and saw her, her face red and her head moving like a drum. He couldn't help but feel a bit confused.
What was wrong with this maid?
"Yanran, what's wrong with you? Why are you like this?"
"No... nothing."
Gu Yanran shook her head even more, as if she were afraid Li Yun might discover her thoughts.
Li Yun, of course, didn't know what she was thinking.
If the young rich men of Jinling saw their crush enjoying the scene where she was whipped by Li Yun, their jaws would surely drop in astonishment.
"Yanran, are you a maid who doesn't listen? Or do you dare hide something from the master? Well, I'm going to punish you."
"No, master, listen to me... I..."
"What do you have to explain? Do you want to challenge me and be punished?"
