Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Truth and Lies

After leaving Xu Yongshou’s house.

Su Xin found the Brotherhood association and used his Other-Transformation superpower to investigate the high-level executives of the gang one by one, mastering their positions.

By around three in the morning.

All the Brotherhood association’s high-level executives were dead.

…

In the morning.

After finishing his morning exercise, Su Xin took a bath and had breakfast at several street stalls before leisurely starting his studies at school by eight o’clock.

Having slept for only a few hours, Xu Yongshou also got up early in the morning and arrived at the association headquarters, gathering several high-level executives in the association for an urgent discussion about the plan to eliminate the Brotherhood association.

After a fierce debate, Xu Yongshou, relying on his position as the president, resolutely pushed through this resolution, and swiftly began discussing the action arrangements with everyone.

By noon.

Hundreds of registered members of the Celestial Wolf Gang, except for a few whose attention was drawn away by other business, were mobilized under the high-level executives’ arrangements to begin emergency actions.

The struggle between associations is quite straightforward.

Similar to Su Xin’s previous life, it’s just about causing trouble at enterprises run by other associations, and both sides fight fiercely—losers leave, winners stay.

In this world, the nature of gang corporations is quite special. They can legally receive protection fees from many companies and must shoulder the responsibility of providing protection.

Moreover, this protection fee is usually in the form of equity dividends. These companies and associations have a cooperative relationship.

Take a nightclub as an example. An association can hold varying amounts of equity, and they must ensure the normal operation of the nightclub.

If they fail to fulfill their protective responsibilities, resulting in a joint protest from the nightclub’s shareholders, this portion of equity will be reclaimed.

Afterward, the nightclub can choose not to require the association’s protection or can seek cooperation with another association.

However, nightclubs without the protection of gang members often face difficulties in resolving many troubles and will be targeted by various local associations, so most nightclubs and similar companies have associations backing them.

Under normal circumstances, the fights between major associations are not too fierce, mostly involving minor conflicts, minor disputes, or pushing shareholders behind certain companies to proactively switch gang cooperation.

Large-scale fights rarely happen.

The legitimate premise for associations is that their various behaviors are constrained, even if they cause trouble, seize territory, or fight, major casualties are not allowed, nor is a serious impact on the operation of enterprises or disturbance of social order allowed.

Gradually.

Associations have reached a tacit understanding.

Even when they fight the hardest, they specifically find a place to have a large brawl, thus determining the ownership of certain enterprises.

Actually, it’s much like street vendors fighting over stall positions.

And when the Celestial Wolf Gang sent out most of its members in a frenzy, the Brotherhood association had no choice but to fight back. Otherwise, if the major enterprise shareholders feel the Brotherhood association can’t protect them, they would certainly turn to cooperate with other associations.

“Damn it, what the hell is that madman Xu Yongshou trying to do? Why is he fighting us uncontrollably?”

“Since they want to fight, then let’s fight!”

The high-level executives of the Brotherhood association immediately gathered all personnel, heading to various enterprises to support and engaged in a chaotic skirmish with the Celestial Wolf Gang.

And not long after both sides started the brawl.

Several other associations that had pre-arranged with Xu Yongshou also chose to attack when they saw the Celestial Wolf Gang had indeed sent out most of its people.

For a moment, Lening City witnessed dozens of group skirmishes involving more than ten people.

The young man known as Big Tiger and his five delinquent subordinates were also among them.

“What the hell! What’s going on up top suddenly? Why are we suddenly fighting so fiercely with the Brotherhood association?”

“Our mission seemed easy and could be completed in a few days, but now we have to fight with the Brotherhood association, who knows if that guy will be lured away by other gangs?”

Six people squeezed into a van, some of them complaining to each other.

They were on their way to a Brotherhood association casino, preparing to support their comrades as ordered, thus carrying steel pipes and batons, their hearts somewhat tense.

Big Tiger said, “Relax, each association has different intelligence channels. Other gangs can’t easily find Su Xin. As long as the conflict between the two major associations ends quickly, we’ll still have a chance to get back to searching for him.”

“Stop thinking about Su Xin’s task for now, focus on what’s ahead.”

“Although gang fights don’t allow killing, during a brawl, some people get heated and can’t control their strength, accidentally killing is quite common, so don’t be careless.”

“Alright, Big Tiger!”

…

Over these days.

Su Xin attends school during the day, makes donations in the evening, and goes to different cities nearby during late nights to carry out business.

It took him only two days for his Karma Points to surge again to 5102.

The cost was his assets decreasing sharply by four million.

By October 29, that is, Saturday.

Su Xin finished two hours of morning exercise, took a bath to wash away the sweat, and feeling refreshed, took a cab to a nearby city for a trip.

Although he had visited many places through random instant teleportation these days, due to doing so late at night, he couldn’t see the scenery or feel the local customs, thus finding it rather dull.

Plus, with studying and working being busy during this time, it’s a good opportunity to relax on vacation.

He enjoys this ordinary life a lot.

Of course, he also quite enjoys living in black robes at night.

The negative emotions brought by his parents’ death have, after all these events, affected him minimally.

He has genuinely let it go.

Now, the only thing he needs to do is, enjoy his own life.

Whether it’s studying, writing, exercising, carrying out business, or struggling against the Nirvana Association or chaebols, they are all parts of the life he enjoys.

“It’s so refreshing!”

Su Xin sat at a cliffside, looking at the endless mountain forest below, enjoying the mountain winds with open arms.

“Sir, it’s very dangerous there.”

Not far away, someone shouted.

Su Xin stood up, smiled at the person shouting, then turned around and walked into the crowd, quickly disappearing.

By five in the afternoon.

Su Xin was eating at a restaurant when a system notification suddenly appeared in his mind.

“Ding! Mission triggered [Truth and Lies]”

[Truth and Lies: Tell ten lies that don’t conform to normal phenomena, making everyone who hears them firmly believe without doubt.]

[Mission progress: 0/10.]

Su Xin paused, put down his chopsticks, frowned, and fell into contemplation.

“Not conforming to normal phenomena? But make everyone who hears them firmly believe without doubt?”

“Believing isn’t enough? They have to firmly believe without doubt?”

“It’s hard to have someone firmly believe even a true statement, how can lies make others firmly believe?”
