"Don't kill me, don't kill me," Hunter Lee cried, snot dripping from his nose.
Cao Kun: "So, you don't want to die."
“I want to live, I want to live.” Hunter Lee nodded repeatedly.
Cao Kun: "Stand up, I'll give you a chance."
Hunter Lee scrambled to his feet, ignoring the dust covering him, and asked, "Wh...what...opportunity?"
Cao Kun: "I will take down the leaders of these gangs and their key subordinates."
You will take over their territory, their livelihood, and their followers.
Hunter Lee stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
He thought he was going to die today, but unexpectedly, he was hit by a pie.
Cao Kun: "Is it possible?"
Hunter Lee: "If they don't have a boss and a few people in charge, they're just a disorganized mess, and of course I can manage that. But..."
Cao Kun: "But what?"
Hunter Lee: "As my influence expands, it will attract the envy of those big gangs. They have deep-rooted power behind them."
Cao Kun: "What are you afraid of? I'm behind you."
Hunter-Lee was immediately reassured: "Yes, Mr. Cao, if you can support me, I certainly have nothing to fear."
Cao Kun sneered, "You don't think my support is free, do you?"
Hunter Lee: "Of course not, Mr. Cao. Just name your price, and I guarantee I'll pay you on time every month."
Cao Kun asked with a half-smile, "How much do you think your life is worth? How much are those gangs worth?"
Hunter Lee immediately realized that Cao Kun wanted more than just money.
He was also very clever: "Mr. Cao, from now on, I will only listen to you."
Cao Kun: "I never believe what others say, I only believe in myself. Open your mind, don't resist, and there will be some pain next."
Hold on, don't give up, and you'll survive.
If you can't hold on, you'll die.
Hunter Lee took a deep breath.
He knew that today he either had to do as Cao Kun said and get through it.
Or, like those forty-odd underlings just now, they'll be wiped out.
He has no other choice now.
He also lacked the power to resist.
He walked back to Cao Kun step by step: "Mr. Cao, I'm ready."
Cao Kun nodded in satisfaction and affixed a Yin talisman to Hunter-Lee's body.
"ah……"
A piercing scream soon followed.
A moment later...
"Owner."
Hunter Lee, like Butt, knelt before Cao Kun with a face full of respect.

Robert Logan's death greatly shocked the FBI and the Los Angeles Police Department.
But no matter how they investigated, all the results told them that this was Burn Short's revenge.
However, the retaliation came so fiercely that it completely caught everyone off guard.
The Los Angeles police were shocked, but they were also happy to watch the spectacle.
On the FbI side, quite a few people felt a sense of impending doom, and were very angry, as well as somewhat fearful.
After all, if something like this could happen to Robert Logan, it could happen to them too.
How could they not be afraid?
But since Burn Short was dead, they could only vent their anger on Burn Short's family.
At the same time, with Robert Logan's death, the position of Los Angeles area manager suddenly became vacant.
Many people are starting to get restless.
Bart has already received 20 million from Cao Kun and has started using the money to bribe officials.
Anyone who believes that bribery is not allowed in the US government is absolutely a complete idiot.
However, their methods all involve multiple parties to transform it into seemingly legitimate income.
For example, the US military might spend $90,000 to purchase a single pack of screws.
Do you think there's a problem with this?
Anyone with a normal IQ should be able to figure it out.
However, all of this was procured through proper procedures.
You can say it was expensive, but at least on paper, there's no problem.
Bart spent money to bribe officials and gain their support.
Cao Kun's side also began to take action.
Under the attack of the scarab beetle poison, the leaders and key managers of the selected gangs disappeared one after another.
In this situation, several gangs immediately became panicked.
Whenever someone tries to step forward and win people over, it won't be long before these people disappear as well.
Before long, several gangs were thrown into chaos.
Everyone was worried that they would follow in their footsteps.
At this point, the Triangle Gang intervened forcefully, taking over the territory and its members.
The Triangle Gang's power grew rapidly, becoming one of the largest gangs in Los Angeles.
Of course, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
After instructing the Holy Son of the Mountain to keep an eye on things, Cao Kun went about his own business.
To put it bluntly, this is a major event that could affect the lives of both Bart and Hunter Lee.
But for Cao Kun, success or failure was of no importance.
Moreover, this matter is relatively easy to handle.
It's indeed a waste of talent to have a rogue cultivator at the ninth level of the Evil Core realm do this.
Of course, it would be great to succeed.
In the future, people from both the legitimate and criminal worlds will be able to use it, making things much easier for them.
Meanwhile, Hunter Lee had become his slave, and all the money Hunter Lee earned was his money.
Regardless, this deal was still very worthwhile.
If we fail, we'll lose $20 million.
When it comes to money, Cao Kun gets a headache again.
Dealing with Baimon was quite costly.
Many materials need to be supplemented, and now another 20 million has been spent, causing his savings to shrink drastically.
Cao Kun discovered that he was making money quite quickly, but it still wasn't enough to cover his expenses.
However, his financial situation will improve significantly after the release of "Saw II" and "Fast & Furious".
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
The gangs in Los Angeles have completely changed.
The Triangle Gang, originally a small gang, has risen to become a large gang, rivaling several other major gangs.
Of course, the Triangle Gang's actions have also attracted some countermeasures against them.
But after dozens, even hundreds, of people died, those people all became obedient.
They will not act blindly until they figure out what kind of mysterious force is behind the Triangle Gang.
The total number of gang members in Los Angeles has barely decreased, and illegal criminal activity has not decreased.
Various dirty deals continue to take place.
But the reduction in the number of gangs was a reportable achievement for Bart.
It is the capital that can be used to gain greater political resources.
According to Bart's report, he has gained a lot in this past month.
With the dollar at his disposal, he has already secured the support of several people.
His chances of becoming the Los Angeles area manager have gone from negligible to 30%.
That's quite a high position; you have to understand how many people are eyeing it.
This is Los Angeles, after all. It's not only one of the areas with the highest crime rates in the country, but also one of the wealthiest.
He still has a lot of money and is trying to get more support.

"Excuse me, are you Master Cao Kun?"
That day, Cao Kun received another phone call from an unfamiliar number.
