Chapter 107 The Beginning of Dominance
Chapter 107 The Beginning of Dominance
Seeing them in this state, Ye Fei felt a bit relieved, regained his composure, and said, "Alright, now let's talk about what you all need to do. Have any of you been to Linhai City?"
Even though Linhai City was close to Wanghai City, they were not from wealthy families. In fact, they hadn't even ventured out of Wanghai City, except for the bald one who nodded and said, "I've been there once with my dad."
"It's currently in a state of underground power vacuum." Ye Fei briefed them on the situation in Linhai City and concluded, "What I want you to do is to grasp the underground forces in Linhai City, make it ours, and turn it into our territory."
"Are you coming with us, boss?" Despite having gained immense strength, the bald group were still teenagers, feeling uneasy about going to an unfamiliar place and clashing with underground forces. They hoped that Ye Fei, who was now a godlike figure in their minds, would accompany them.
"I don't have the time right now, and things are a bit unstable in Wanghai City recently." Ye Fei shook his head, noticing their unease, and reassured them, "With your current strength, as long as you don't run into large regular military forces, you'll be fine. Conventional firearms won't harm you anymore. I'll work out a detailed plan for you and provide some startup funds. Once you have some people under you, things will be much easier."
The group nodded, but Purple Hair raised a concern, "But in doing so, we'll inevitably have to fight and even harm innocents at times. Is that alright?"
While the bald group were somewhat delinquents, even bullying classmates at school, deep down, they were not bad kids. Ye Fei's earlier words had stirred their blood, making them eager to show their strength. However, Purple Hair's reminder made them realize that they might turn into the ruthless crime lords seen on TV. They hesitated and looked at Ye Fei.
Their hesitation didn't anger Ye Fei; instead, he was pleased. He had been worried that the sudden power might corrupt them, but now he saw that they were like his younger self, not losing their essence due to this. He smiled and asked, "Which city do you think has a better living environment, Linhai City or Wanghai City?"
"Definitely Wanghai City!" the bald group replied without hesitation. They knew a bit about the security situation in Linhai City, where incidents of violence occurred almost daily, instilling fear in its residents. Although not mentioned on TV, online discussions painted a grim picture. In contrast, Wanghai City, neighboring Linhai City, was peaceful and quiet, with occasional gang clashes kept away from public view.
"Do you know why the environment in Wanghai City is so good?" Ye Fei continued to inquire.
The teenagers had never considered this question and were momentarily stumped by Ye Fei's query, sinking into thought. After a while, the bald one had a realization and said, "Could it be because the underground powers here are more centralized?"
Ye Fei nodded, "Exactly. Due to most of the underground forces being controlled by one entity, there's less turf wars on the streets, and the citizens are spared many troubles."
"What we need to do is control the underground forces in Linhai City and restore peace there, right?" The bald group began to understand Ye Fei's intentions.
Ye Fei's original intentions were not as grand, but he didn't deny this. Seizing the moment, he asked, "Do you know which family controls the underground forces in our Wanghai City?"
"Of course, it's your Ye family!" The Ye family's control over Wanghai City's underground was not a secret even among ordinary citizens, so the bald group was aware.
Ye Fei smiled and asked, "So, what do you think of the reputation of our Ye family?"
As Ye Fei posed this question, the group of bald teenagers fell into contemplation. The Ye family's reputation in Wanghai City was impeccable. While everyone knew they were the underground emperors of Wanghai City, they were revered rather than feared. Even companies and schools, when considering security, first thought of the security company under the Ye family's control.
With these thoughts in mind, the eyes of the bald group sparkled brighter. Yes, who said developing underground power had to mean becoming villains? Leaders of organizations like the Ye family were probably a hundred times more powerful than those self-righteous officials. Whether being good or bad depended on one's own conscience, not their position.
"Boss, we understand. Tell us what to do once we get there!"
Having understood everything, the bald group had made up their minds. For Ye Fei and for themselves, they were determined to make a resounding impact. They couldn't help feeling a sense of urgency.
Ye Fei chuckled, "There's no rush for that. After all, you need to talk to your families about dropping out of school and going to Linhai City for development. Right now, go and handle that. I'll take these next few days to draft a detailed plan, and then you can set off."
"Yes, boss!" The bald group admired Ye Fei even more for his thorough consideration of every detail.
If calling Ye Fei "boss" had been somewhat playful before, now it was a title they wholeheartedly bestowed upon him.
"Alright, let's head back quickly. It's getting late, and by the time we arrive, school might be over." Ye Fei said, thinking about his younger sister and Lin Ling.
Although he had called them in the morning to say he wouldn't be going to school that day due to some matters, not showing up the entire day might make them wonder what was going on.
The group echoed their agreement, but they didn't move immediately. Instead, they waited for Ye Fei as if his word was law. Ye Fei didn't object to this; even though he now considered them as brothers in arms, some necessary formality was still required at times.
After smashing the large box he had painstakingly prepared all night and tossing it into the trash, Ye Fei left the hotel with the group, quickly catching a taxi back to the school.
Little did they all know, not even Ye Fei himself, that this seemingly ordinary gathering would set off significant turmoil in this world. They could never have imagined that this day would mark the beginning of Ye Fei's global dominance, propelling him to the pinnacle of the world.
