Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Collaborator

Enter the headquarters building of the Celestial Wolf Gang.

Su Xin went straight to the upper floors, wandered around casually, and saw that many places had already been sealed off with official tape. Many tables, chairs, potted plants, and other items were scattered chaotically, a complete mess.

It was evident that the Celestial Wolf Gang had been annihilated; even their headquarters had been formally taken over by the authorities, waiting for liquidation and handling.

Su Xin nodded with satisfaction, then instantly teleported away from the place, arriving shortly at Xu Yongshou’s villa.

…

In the study.

Xu Yongshou was seated solemnly in a large leather executive chair, talking on the phone with a serious expression.

Over the past four days, he had successfully wiped out the rival gang, but the Celestial Wolf Gang also suffered heavy losses.

Not to mention, many subordinates were injured to varying degrees, and medical expenses were a significant financial burden. Furthermore, a few people had died, costing more than two million in compensation, plus some necessary bribery.

After the rival gang was destroyed, the territory left vacant, according to the agreement with several other gangs, had to be largely ceded to them.

So this operation could only be considered a Pyrrhic victory. Although the Celestial Wolf Gang seemed to have gained prestige, in reality, it was a losing deal.

As a result, many within the gang became dissatisfied with him. Reliable sources suggested that some were even planning to unite with other high-ranking members to overthrow him.

Within the Celestial Wolf Gang, he could not truly be considered the ultimate authority. Previously, the success in arranging this operation was due to his insistence, using his position as the gang leader to push it through despite the consequences.

Now, the action is over, and he is about to face the consequences of acting unilaterally.

“…Remember, this matter is very important, and it must be completed tonight. Report to me at once with any results or changes.”

Having issued his instructions, Xu Yongshou hung up the phone.

At the moment he lifted his head, a black-robed figure abruptly appeared about a meter in front of his desk.

Xu Yongshou’s heart skipped a beat, but he quickly came to his senses and stood up in respect:

“Mr. Black Robe.”

The various ambitions that had surfaced in his mind earlier quickly faded when he saw Black Robe appear before him again—

Facing someone so elusive, could he really control the other party?

The person possessed such abilities that if they wanted to kill him, he would have no way to resist, unless he hid in some obscure corner.

“Congratulations, the assessment task is completed.”

Su Xin lowered his voice and said blandly:

“From today, you are my acknowledged collaborator. I need you to provide me with intel, including all the major events happening in Lening City daily, everything related to the Nirvana Association, all information relevant to Yonghui Financial Group in Lening City. Send it to me every day; this is my email.”

Saying this, Su Xin stepped forward and placed a small slip of paper on the desk. The paper was covered with lines and symbols, forming a string that was his newly registered email address.

Xu Yongshou hurriedly took the small paper on the desk with both hands, glancing at Su Xin’s extended hand, which wore clean white gloves, evidently to avoid leaving fingerprints on the note.

After looking at the slip of paper, he cautiously said:

“Mr. Black Robe, the Nirvana Association and Yonghui Financial Group are significant forces worldwide. With my capabilities, I fear it’s difficult to obtain any helpful intel; I can only do my best.”

“Hmm, just do your best.”

Su Xin didn’t insist, instead, he seemed accommodating, saying blandly, “I don’t hold a significant grudge against them; I’m just lazy about proactively seeking trouble with them, but they seem to have targeted me. I don’t want to be too passive, so I need to understand their movements in Lening City.”

“Moreover, because of the Nirvana Association and Yonghui Financial Group, try to keep our relationship hidden; otherwise, it might cause trouble.”

Xu Yongshou appeared moved:

“Okay, thank you, Mr. Black Robe, for your concern.”

“By the way, there’s one more thing. The decisive battle with the rival gang was something I forcibly pushed through despite opposition. Now, due to the significant losses in this battle, many gang brothers oppose me, and some high-ranking members want to take advantage of the situation to seize power. I might face a lot of trouble ahead, and I might even lose power, rendering me unable to help Mr. Black Robe collect intel…”

Su Xin directly interrupted him:

“Just tell me what you want me to do.”

Xu Yongshou solemnly replied, “I want to kill a few high-ranking opponents, to set an example.”

“Give me the information.”

“Alright.”

Xu Yongshou was evidently prepared, immediately opening a drawer and producing a paper full of text and several photographs.

Su Xin reached out with his gloved right hand, took the paper, glanced at it, then casually crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into his jeans pocket.

“Anything else?”

“Mr. Black Robe just said not to expose our relationship, but when killing…”

“Don’t worry; no one will know it was me.”

“Then I’ll trouble Mr. Black Robe.”

“One more thing, send me a list of your gang’s members and organizational structure, as well as details of the properties you own.”

“Okay.”

Xu Yongshou had just finished speaking when the black-robed figure in front of him abruptly vanished.

He leaned back, collapsing into the soft executive chair with a heavy sigh.

No matter how many times he had seen it, Su Xin’s mysterious instant teleportation ability never ceased to amaze and evoke a sense of envy and terror in him.

Dealing with someone like this puts him at an enormous disadvantage, his life and death in the hands of the other party.

Though Black Robe used pleasant words, calling him a collaborator, Xu Yongshou understood that under such a partnership, he wasn’t even considered a subordinate; at most, he was just a dog to be beckoned as the other pleased.

When the other party is in a good mood, they might occasionally grant some help, meet some demands, much like feeding treats to a pet.

If the other party is in a bad mood one day, wanting to beat, hurt, or even kill him, he wouldn’t even have the chance to negotiate and could only resign to fate.

With this realization, Xu Yongshou felt an overwhelming weight in his heart.

“No matter what, I must find a way to probe his identity. Even if I can’t control him, I should at least have a chance to counter, to make him wary.”

“However, with Black Robe’s elusive nature, if I secretly tail or spy on him, it’s easy for him to discover my investigation, which would lead to huge trouble.”

“Thus, I must proceed cautiously in my investigation.”

“At no time, in no place, should I say anything against Black Robe, and I must secretly install monitoring devices at home to alert me the moment Black Robe appears.”

After pondering for a moment, he turned on his computer and compiled the gang information as required by Su Xin, then sent it to the email provided by Su Xin.
