Chapter 1894 - Wei Che"s Ident.i.ty
In the meeting room, some of the elders within Lucifer, including Gu Yuexi, as well as some of the leaders, led by Xu Xianghu and Yueze, were engaged in a deep discussion regarding the launching of the operation to disintegrate the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
The conservative party, led by a few elders, firmly objected to cooperating with the Russian army. "The powers within the Korean-Chinese Alliance are intertwining, spread all over the world, and made people fearful of them. It"s unnecessary for us, Lucifer, to get involved in this messy situation. To cooperate with the army is undoubtedly akin to asking a tiger for its skin—we can"t just watch as Lucifer"s century-long history gets destroyed."
The war advocates, led by Xu Xianghu, supported and stuck by Rex"s highest strategy with determination. "Pft! Stop those empty threats of scaring others with Lucifer"s century-long history. Lucifer has attained its status today due to Boss"s wise leaders.h.i.+p—more than half of Lucifer"s territories were conquered by our comrades led by Boss. Without Boss, the entire Lucifer would have perished twenty years ago. I think all of you are merely afraid of the Korean-Chinese Alliance."
As for those sitting on the fence, led mainly by a few people in the higher management, seeing the other two parties embroiled in the heated argument, couldn"t help but feel vexed and said, "Stop arguing. To cooperate with the army is indeed undoubtedly akin to asking a tiger for its skin. However, more than half of Lucifer"s territories were conquered by him and it"s impossible that he"ll put the entire Lucifer in danger. The Korean-Chinese Alliance is powerful and mighty, indeed fear-inspiring. The elders are merely afraid that while we fight it out with the Korean-Chinese Alliance, the army and the wealthy families will stab us in our backs."
Although they sat on the fence, they were obviously more skewed towards supporting Rex. They had only said these words for the fear of everyone arguing too intensively and hurting the relations.h.i.+ps with each other.
Although the words of those sitting on the fence still made the conservative party unhappy, they gave the old foggies a way out. Naturally, Xu Xianghu could tell what they were trying to say—it was unnecessary to continue the heated argument with the conservative party.
The almost 15-minute-long argument finally ended.
Just then, Si Yiyan spoke. "Russia is a well-known and true blue war country. The greatest firearms businessmen and organizations gather here. It"s impossible for the Korean-Chinese Alliance to give up this lucrative spot. In a way, Lucifer has already become their stumbling block to achieve their goal. The internal fights and separations within Lucifer more than twenty years ago was a painful lesson.
"The Korean-Chinese Alliance"s ambitions definitely don"t stop here. They even want to devour all of Lucifer"s powers—we"re already arch-enemies with them."
Si Yiyan"s speech made those stubborn seniors speechless.
The fact that they could live till such ripe old ages and even attain their positions as elders meant that they had personally experienced the entire process of Lucifer"s internal fights and separations then. They could still remember vividly just how painful and tragic it was.
Si Yiyan said mildly, "Lucifer survived due to morality and flourished due to righteousness. Previously, from the Xiasi Group"s turmoil in Italy to the internal separations of Lucifer, just how many comrades became victims of the Korean-Chinese Alliance"s plots, turned against each other, and tragically killed each other—I"m just asking you guys, how can we live with this vengeance, do we avenge the deaths of those comrades who died wrongly?"
His words caused an uproar in the meeting room.
Morality, righteousness, and friends.h.i.+p were critically important to them.
"Our comrades" vengeance is irreconcilable, we won"t rest till we avenge them."
Although those elders were arrogant and prided themselves on their seniority, they had been around for many years, after all. Although their pa.s.sion had gradually mellowed throughout the years, their emphasis on friends.h.i.+p had never changed.
Si Yiyan"s words instantly caused them to feel revved up instinctively.
Si Yiyan changed the topic. "All these years, the existence of the ma.s.sive Lucifer which occupies Russia made this group very guarded against us and thus only operated on a small scale in Russia. If we"re unable to make use of this opportunity to completely eradicate all of the Korean-Chinese Alliance"s powers in Russia, when they stabilize and expand, the tragic past twenty years ago will repeat itself."
The concise speech already thoroughly a.n.a.lyzed the interests and stakes on this issue.
At this point, everyone"s hatred and fighting spirits were triggered and they only had one thing in mind—to eradicate the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
Such a scene awed Gu Yuexi.
Some people were just born leaders and could manipulate people"s hearts with a mere few lines.
As for him, ever since he arrived in Russia about roughly a month ago, he had spent many efforts on these old foggies, but they still treated him with disrespect.
—
After the meeting ended, Si Yiyan retrieved his phone, saw that there was no reply to his message, and was about to call Wen Xinya when the office door swung open.
Si Yiyan frowned slightly and kept his phone in his pocket.
Gu Yuexi naturally noticed his actions as he came through the door—in fact, at the meeting room just now, he had seen Rex browsing his phone a couple of times.
"What"s the matter?" Si Yiyan asked in a mild tone.
Gu Yuexi answered, "It"s regarding Wei Che"s information. I suspect that Wei Che"s true active region is the Capital City of China—this person is the real mastermind behind the Boya Pavilion and the real manipulator of Xia Ruya."
Lucifer had already obtained the Korean-Chinese Alliance"s intricate operations in Russia. By a.n.a.lyzing the information in his hands, he had obtained more information on Wei Che as well.
Si Yiyan received the information that he pa.s.sed over and looked through it carefully. "In addition, I"m guessing that he"s the most mysterious contact person of the Korean-Chinese Alliance and is in charge of the operations in China, Russia, and other European countries. His position in the group is extraordinary."
The Korean-Chinese Alliance was a highly confidential group and its members almost didn"t know each other. The operations of these members formed the ma.s.sive structure and intricate powers of this group. A contact person was responsible for the overall planning and facilitating of all the powers in a certain area.
If one could control this person, he could eradicate all the powers under him.
Precisely because of this, when Si Yiyan got wind that there were traces of Wei Che in Russia, he had decided to come to Russia at short notice.
Gu Yuexi"s pupils constricted and he held his breath.
Si Yiyan said mildly, "Activate the Skynet and monitor Wei Che"s actions closely. Don"t do anything without my orders."
The Skynet was a network that he had set up, using vertical and horizontal integration, after he took over Lucifer, used to contact all the powers within Lucifer. It was a confidential intelligence system that covered all the way from ordinary folks to higher politics. All the intelligence systems within the group were the most advanced and rigorous systems in the world.
Usually, everyone controlled their own areas and didn"t interfere with each other. However, once the Skynet was triggered, this ma.s.sive system made up of hundreds of thousands of groups would be fully activated. He was the dictator—no one could escape the Skynet.
There were but a few people within the group who knew of the Skynet"s existence.
