Chapter 83 - Follow Me And Prosper, Betray Me And Die!
10:15AM
At Skylark Hill's gated community entrance, the steel gates slow opened from the inside before a luxurious black car exited.
"Have a nice day, Miss Qing." A security guard bowed respectfully as Xiao Qing nodded back from the driver's seat.
Xiao Hua stuck her head out from the window on the passenger's side and waved, "Bye-bye, security brother!"
"Have fun outside, Little Hua." The security guard immediately broke into smiles and waved back at the adorable girl before they left.
The security guard shook his head while his face was still full of smiles, even after the black car was gone.
However, before the security guard could relax, a group of six black cars with unfamiliar number plates arrived before him.
After a dozen menacing men in black suits exited their vehicles, the security guard quickly broke into cold sweats.
'What is going on here? Are these people here to cause trouble? C'mon, man. I am just a small-time security guard. Please don't make my life hard." The security guard by the name of Luo Qi silently prayed.
"Hey, you!"
"Y-Yes?!"
Luo Qi jumped in fright after being called.
Reagan Declan double-checked the GPS on his phone before confirming with Luo Qi, "Is this Skylark Hills?"
Meanwhile, Meng Yan and Ah Zhen stayed in the back with the other men in black and allowed Reagan Declan to do all the talking.
"Yes, sir!" Luo Qi answered before nervously asking, "Are you residents here, or are you just visiting, sir?"
Of course, Luo Qi knew that they were not residents. He had strictly made it his mission to familiarized himself with all the wealthy residents living on Skylark Hills, new and old ones.
Otherwise, if he accidentally offends a resident due to his ignorance, he can say goodbye to his job, and if he is extremely unlucky, his life too.
All in all, these men in black were not residents. As for visiting guests? He had not been notified yet!
"Of course, we are visiting guests," Reagan Declan answered straightforwardly while his broken hand dangled with a cast.
Luo Qi immediately cracked a wry smile before he prepared to question them further. However, the telephone inside his little security booth suddenly rang.
Luo Qi quickly picked up the call before he heard Young Master Albion's casual voice on the other side, "They're my guests. Let them in."
Albion was still inside his mansion when he said this.
However, he could see everything happening at the entrance 500 meters away with his Eyes of Ashura.
"As you wish, Young Master Albion!" Luo Qi said with relief before decided to add, "If I may be so impudent as to ask you heed a small request of mine?"
"Oh? And what might that be?"
"Can you give me an advanced notification when you are receiving guests next time, Young Master Albion? This kind of surprise isn't exactly good for my heart," Luo Qi pleaded pitifully.
Albion chuckled softly before he nodded casually, "Alright, I'll let you know next time."
"Thank you, Young Master." Luo Qi said gratefully.
Shortly after, Meng Yan and his group drove their nice black cars inside the gated community and quickly parked in front of the hilltop mansion.
"Come in. The door isn't locked." Albion's voice was heard before Reagan Declan could reach for the bell hanging on the front door.
He glanced around to see where the boss could be watching him from. However, he saw nothing and felt incredulous inside.
Shortly after, Reagan Declan, Meng Yan, Ah Zhen, and the other men appeared inside the living room, where Albion could be seen seated on a couch waiting for them.
When they saw Albion's doodled face, they were immediately taken aback by his peculiar look.
"Young Master Albion," Meng Yan and his men all greeted as per their boss's request without bringing up the matter.
The Young Master was their boss. Who were they to question their boss's aesthetics?!
"Un, you're here." Albion nodded before he noticed the heavy bags under Meng Yan, Reagan Declan, Ah Zhen, and the others' eyes, "Seemed like you all did not get any sleep last night."
"After we received your text message, the three gangs were too busy with assimilating the Bloodmoon Gang's properties and businesses in Silvercove throughout the night. None of us dared to miss out on such an important occasion," Ah Zhen stated with bright eyes, evidently still excited about everything that happened.
Albion glanced at their flashy black suits and nice black cars parked outside before he nodded, "I can see that."
"These are the lists of properties and shares owned by Branch Leader Gai and the Bloodmoon Gang's branch in Silvercove. All have been transferred under your name, Young Master Albion." Meng Yan offered a document folder.
However, Albion waved his hand with a shake of his head, "I don't really care about all this. Just divide it amongst yourselves to manage."
"You're just going to give it all away to us, Young Master Albion?" Meng Yan was immediately shocked—as well as everyone else in the room.
To what end did the boss wipe out the Bloodmoon Gang for—if not to replace them for their wealth and power? Now that he has it, he was just going to give it away to them?
Everyone was in disbelief.
"Of course, I won't mistreat those that follow me. But power and authority do not come for free," Albion shifted his gaze downward.
It was only then that Meng Yan, Reagan Declan, and Ah Zhen noticed the numerous glass cups of water on the table along with a big bag beside them.
"The bag contains special equipment and weapons for the gang to use. As for these cups…"
Shortly after, Albion proceeded to cut his fingertip with a Phantasmium-coated bullet before dripping a drop of his blood into each cup.
"Drink, and you will be my eternal servants—forced to live and die for my sake. Follow me and prosper, or betray me and die, condemned to the deepest pits of hell. The choice is yours," Albion casually stated, seemingly unconcerned regardless of the choices they make.
However, Meng Yan and the others immediately felt immense pressure.
