Chapter 162: Everick’s Gambit: Baiting the Snake Out of Its Lair!

Coniso arrived at a scene of devastation, his teammates’ bodies strewn everywhere. He stood, struck with shock, his eyes wide and speechless.

The sole survivor, Everick, was crouched in a corner, seething with rage. His complexion was deathly pale, his body trembling uncontrollably. This was the moment his dignity was thoroughly shattered by Wang Yun’s insult.

“I will not let this go! Absolutely not!” Everick murmured this vow repeatedly under his breath.

Meanwhile, after returning to the villa, Wang Yun first settled in the three subordinates who had been captured earlier. Their eyes sparkled with awe upon seeing Wang Yun’s grand villa.

“My God, just two days ago we were fleeing alongside the boss. And now, in just a span of two days, he settled into a villa!”

“Exactly, and look at the number of subordinates he has now. These aren’t ordinary folks, you can feel the aura of killers around them.”

The three exchanged these observations among themselves.

At that moment, the audience in the livestream was fervently typing away.

“Not just you three, none of us saw it coming!”

“Right, we only caught the part where our Big Brother was attacked, and after that, we were clueless about what happened!”

“Let me break it down for you. From what I can gather, our Big Brother must have tracked down the masterminds behind those three attackers. And then he took them out directly. He then took over everything the gang had. Considering the actions and equipment of those three women, they were clearly part of an organized group. Now, Big Brother has gained thirty more subordinates! Which means, our Big Brother wiped out thirty people in just two hours!”

When this analysis hit the live stream, the comments instantly buzzed with activity.

It was three in the morning, and most had gone off to sleep. Nevertheless, a dedicated group of die-hard fans remained, vigilantly keeping watch in the livestream for four hours.

“666! Seriously chilling when you think about it! The analysis from the brother above is spot on!”

“Wow, when you put it like that, everything makes sense. Brother Wang Yun wiped out the force behind those three, which is how he suddenly gained thirty more subordinates and this massive villa!”

“Damn, guys, let’s not overlook the fact that it took just two hours. In two hours, our big bro took down thirty people!”

With that, the livestream exploded with comments. This insightful breakdown left everyone deeply unsettled yet convinced of its logic. It all added up too well.

While Wang Yun was lost in dreams, Everick’s night was far from peaceful. Destined for a sleepless night, even his companion Coniso found himself at a loss for words of comfort. They had lost twenty-one of their teammates in this ordeal, ten of whom were elite inspectors brought from the United States themselves. They had promised with full confidence to resolve the Wang Yun case and return home in glory.

Yet, now, not even their souls could find peace.

Eight hours later, at one o’clock in the afternoon, the silence in Everick’s office was like that of a tomb.

A program inspector entered with a grave expression.

“Captain, we’ve located two of Wang Yun’s subordinates in a clandestine internet café on Guang’an Road.”

“An internet café?”

Everick, who had been tirelessly working for thirty-two straight hours, had reviewed surveillance footage from across Xiyun City, covering two-thirds of it. His goal was to track down Wang Yun’s former underlings and draw them out.

Upon hearing this news, Everick leaped to his feet so abruptly that his stool clattered to the floor, startling everyone present.

“Good! Let’s move. Coniso, mobilize all our team. This time, come with me, I’m determined to capture Wang Yun and avenge our brothers!”

***

Simultaneously, Wang Yun was just waking up when he received a call from Xiao Fang.

“Boss, on Guang’an Road, at Jiusheng Internet Café, I’ve located two of our brothers. I fear their whereabouts might be compromised, so I hesitate to contact them directly.”

After hearing Xiao Fang’s report, Wang Yun felt a wave of relief wash over him.

“Alright, keep watching in the area, I’ll be right there. And remember to protect yourself.”

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yun immediately called over Glasses and the rest.

Fist had kept an eye on every move of Coniso’s visit last night. Though there was no noteworthy news, they managed to track them to a program inspection office of the United States team. From what Fist discovered, this inspection office was a headquarters for inspectors from every country.

He was still on lookout outside. Each day, over two hundred program inspectors who are part of the efforts to capture Wang Yun emerge from that office. He had each of them tailed by his associates to ensure any piece of information wouldn’t slip by unnoticed.

“Glasses, take a couple of our brothers and head to Jiusheng Internet Café on Guang’an Road. Also, take over for Fist, let him have a break. His leg is injured, he won’t need to go out for a while,” Wang Yun instructed Glasses.

He didn’t rush out this time. Instead, he took his time enjoying the meal that was prepared for him.

He even uncorked a bottle of genuine 1982 Lafite from the wine cellar.

***

“Big Brother, this wine is actually real! This 1982 Lafite is becoming rarer by the bottle!”

“Of course, Big Brother would only drink the real deal. Did you know? Just for staying alive each day, he earns a bonus of twenty million!”

“Seeing Big Brother’s lavish lifestyle, everything that expert said early this morning has to be true!”

The livestream audience watched Wang Yun indulging in luxury, each one green with envy. This wasn’t a fugitive getaway, it was practically a vacation.

“Why do I get the feeling that Big Brother is masterminding something grand?”

Just then, another comment jolted everyone back to attention.
