Chapter 1647: Butler Jin
To prevent something from happening, Yang Ming didn’t mind letting the Blackhawk Gang off. If they were smart enough, they wouldn’t provoke Yang Ming anymore. Yang Ming would also be too lazy to trouble them, and they would remain free and happy. However, if they really wanted to die, then Yang Ming didn’t mind wiping them out after the matter was over.
Currently, it was an eventful season. There was the behind-the-scenes boss, the mysterious Elder You, and even “Central” that he had inexplicably offended Yang Ming was in a difficult situation. It was not a wise move to expose his strength at this moment.
The Lancer Family’s commotion in Europe was big enough. Thus, Yang Ming had to be low-key this time, which was why the Blackhawk Gang would survive this disaster.
Of course, on the other hand, it was because they were a foreign drug trafficking organization. Yang Ming would have nothing to do with whoever they sell the drugs to as long as they do not harm his men in the future. Yang Ming was neither an international criminal policeman nor Superman, or Ultraman, who maintained world peace. Naturally, what the eye doesn’t see, the heart doesn’t grieve over.
Victor Rajiv’s heart sank seeing Yang Ming agree with his suggestion. Since Yang Ming dared to do so, it indicated that he might really have a connection with the Charles Family. It seemed that his unrealistic thoughts should be put aside.
Victor Rajiv didn’t have the intention of releasing the hostages directly this time. Although Chen Mengyan and Victoria were in the minivan outside, he would not release them before he learned about Yang Ming’s ident.i.ty. He even thought of keeping Yang Ming here forever.
However, on the surface, Victor Rajiv calmly took out his mobile phone, dialed one of the numbers, and waited quietly.
“h.e.l.lo, is Butler Zhou there?” Victor Rajiv’s voice became a little flattering. It was a different tone compared to when he spoke to Yang Ming.
This change made Yang Ming suddenly feel contempt. He previously thought that Victor Rajiv was a man of great deeds, and not as morbid as Vesdruff was when he previously stood in front of him. Yang Ming didn’t expect that Victor Rajiv acted like this just because he was unsure of Yang Ming’s ident.i.ty.
The person over the phone heard Victor Rajiv’s words and replied plainly, “Butler Zhou already returned to his hometown more than a month ago. Who are you, why are you looking for him?”
Victor Rajiv’s expression changed suddenly after listening to the other party’s words. He was alarmed, “What? Butler Zhou is gone? Did he return home? How is it possible? Aren’t people who serve the a.s.sa.s.sin family not meant to leave for a lifetime?”
Although Victor Rajiv was the underworld’s G.o.dfather, he also knew some of the a.s.sa.s.sin family’s rules. Therefore he was bewildered that Butler Zhou could retire and return home. Nevermind a.s.sa.s.sin families, it was not easy for even the core seniors to retire from the Blackhawk Gang. It was necessary for them to live under surveillance within the gang’s sphere of influence. It was impossible for them to “return home”!
“We don’t need to explain these things to you!” The other side rebuked coldly in response to Victor Rajiv’s questions. “Who are you? What do you want?”
Victor Rajiv was secretly astonished, then he corrected himself. Yeah, the a.s.sa.s.sin family doesn’t need to explain anything to me. How can I be qualified to ask such things?
Thinking of this, Victor Rajiv hurriedly said, “I’m Victor Rajiv from the Blackhawk Gang in Meitena Town, Russia. I’m a long-term customer of your organization. May I ask you to put me through to Mr. Charles?”
“What do you want? Mr. Charles is very busy right now.” The person who answered the phone was a little displeased. He couldn’t be blamed. Asking about other family’s internal affairs was taboo.
“This…” Victor Rajiv was speechless for a while. He was a well-known figure in Russia, but this person spoke to him with such a ridiculous tone. He was previously boastful in front of Yang Ming, but now his nose was rubbed in dirt. Yet, he didn’t dare to be angry…
“Is there anything you want or not?” The other party was a little annoyed when he noticed that Victor Rajiv was speechless. It doesn’t matter which gang you are from. Aren’t you seeking death by calling and hara.s.sing an a.s.sa.s.sin family for no reason?
“May I know if you are the new butler? What’s your surname?” Victor Rajiv racked his brains, but he couldn’t figure out who answered the phone. So, he started to worm his way into becoming friends with this person. If I first speak some pleasantries with this person, then this person would probably give me face after just a few words.
However, if I directly say that I want to ask Mr. Charles to help confirm someone’s ident.i.ty, they would most probably hang up without hesitation!
Help him confirm the ident.i.ty of others? They did not have this obligation! Originally, Victor Rajiv’s relations.h.i.+p with Butler Zhou was quite good. It would be possible to discuss the matter at hand. However, he did not have any affiliation with the person who answered the phone.
“Yes, my surname is Jin. Is there anything else you want? The Blackhawk Gang’s leader?” Obviously, the other party had quickly checked Victor Rajiv’s customer ident.i.ty through the computer. Yet, his tone was not enthusiastic; it was as cold as usual. Nonetheless, his impatience slightly diminished because of Victor Rajiv’s excessive business orders to the Charles Family.
“Surnamed Jin? This…” Victor Rajiv did not know the new butler surnamed Jin. He hadn’t even heard of him. For a while, he really didn’t know what to say. If Victor Rajiv didn’t even know him, how could he get him to accommodate his wishes?
“Give me the phone,” said Yang Ming with a faint smile. He stared at the anxious Victor Rajiv, who had broken into a sweat.
“Give it to you?” Victor Rajiv was momentarily stunned. He hesitated but eventually pa.s.sed the phone to Yang Ming. Yang Ming requested the phone for a reason, so Victor Rajiv didn’t shy away. In this way, he could bypa.s.s the blockade.
“h.e.l.lo? Golden Bull, it’s me!” Yang Ming said plainly on the phone.
“Ah! Boss! How are you! I didn’t know you were there. I’ve committed a grave offense. Please forgive me…” Butler Jin was shocked when he heard Yang Ming’s voice.
This Butler Jin was naturally the Golden Bull of the Black b.u.t.terfly a.s.sa.s.sin Group, and a veteran of the former Black Widow a.s.sa.s.sin Group. When the Black b.u.t.terfly a.s.sa.s.sin Group went to Africa for development, Yang Ming sent Golden Bull to the Charles Family to be a butler.
After all, Old Charles was also preparing to gradually transfer his family’s business to the Black b.u.t.terfly a.s.sa.s.sin Group, and Yang Ming thought highly of Golden Bull. Just after Zhou Jiajia’s father retired, Yang Ming made Golden Bull take over; it was considered as training.
Golden Bull naturally recognized Yang Ming’s voice, especially since Yang Ming spoke English with a Chinese accent unlike Victor Rajiv. So, Golden Bull could understand it clearly.
“Go and call Old Charles. Just say I’m looking for him.” Yang Ming didn’t blame Golden Bull. If it were someone else, they would also speak coldly to Victor Rajiv.
“Yes! Chief.” Golden Bull said quickly.
Although Victor Rajiv couldn’t hear what Butler Jin said on the phone, he could listen to Yang Ming’s words clearly. Yang Ming spoke to Butler Jin in such a commanding tone and even called him by his name directly. How could Victor Rajiv not be surprised?
At this moment, he was a hundred percent confident of Yang Ming’s ident.i.ty. Yang Ming could even order around Charles Family’s butler; this explained his query!
Of course, Victor Rajiv did not suspect that this might have been planned by Yang Ming in advance. After all, he made the phone call using his mobile phone. It was not possible to fake it.
As soon as Victor Rajiv thought about it, he regretted making the call! Regardless of the result, his skeptical and distrustful att.i.tude had already offended Yang Ming!
It could be seen that Yang Ming’s status was more potent than the Charles Family’s butler. Victor Rajiv had the urge to cry for offending such a person. Why am I so unlucky?
“Mr. Li, I think that there’s no need to trouble Mr. Charles. I already believe you…” Victor Rajiv said carefully, trying to make up for his mistakes as soon as possible.
Chapter 1648: Too Late to Regret
“It’s better to trouble him.” Yang Ming looked indifferently at Victor Rajiv and said plainly, “Moreover, I’m not bothering him by asking him to answer the phone. He will be happy to do so.”
Originally, Victor Rajiv was a little suspicious and surprised at Butler Jin’s att.i.tude toward Yang Ming. When he heard Yang Ming say “Old Charles”, he was immediately astonished in his heart. He didn’t think Yang Ming was bragging or lying!
There was no need to lie at this time. It would be exposed quickly if he did lie. Also, from the current situation, the other party’s att.i.tude towards Yang Ming could already explain everything.
“…” Victor Rajiv’s mouth moved, but he didn’t say anything. It was too late to say anything now; he could only wait for the result quietly.
Soon, Old Charles answered the phone, “Mr. Yang?”
“It’s me, Li Muyi.” Yang Ming hinted, believing that Old Charles should be able to understand his meaning.
“Oh… it’s Mr. Li! May I ask why you are looking for me?” Old Charles was intelligent; he immediately understood Yang Ming’s meaning. It was probably inconvenient for Yang Ming to announce his true ident.i.ty on some occasions, so he used the pseudonym, “Li Muyi”!
Although Old Charles heard that it was Yang Ming’s voice, he would be somewhat suspicious if Golden Bull didn’t confirm the caller’s ident.i.ty.
Now that Golden Bull had confirmed it, Old Charles had no doubt anymore. Golden Bull and Yang Ming were very close. It was impossible to get it wrong.
“Yes, do you know Victor Rajiv of the Blackhawk Gang in Russia?” asked Yang Ming.
“Oh, I have dealt with this guy a few times. He is a client of our Charles Family. What’s wrong? Why is Yang… Mr. Li asking about him?” Golden Bull didn’t tell Old Charles about Victor Rajiv, so Old Charles didn’t know about him yet.
“Since you know him, then things are easier. Please help him confirm that I’m an a.s.sa.s.sin of the b.u.t.terfly Family,” Yang Ming said to Old Charles.
“Oh? Okay…” Although Old Charles was a little puzzled as to why Yang Ming asked him to do this, he naturally would not refuse. He responded directly to Yang Ming’s request.
Yang Ming handed the phone back to Victor Rajiv. “Alright, you can talk to Old Charles!”
“Is this… the respected Mr. Charles…” Victor Rajiv carefully took the phone and asked nervously.
” Victor Rajiv, it is indeed me. Mr. Li asked me to help him make a point. He is an a.s.sa.s.sin of the b.u.t.terfly Family!” Charles said. ” You don’t have any doubt about this, right?”
“No!” Victor Rajiv quickly answered. How could he dare to have any doubts?
“That’s good. I don’t know why Mr. Li did this, but you better be smart. Don’t do something that could disrupt the harmony.” Old Charles had vaguely guessed part of the reason, but he was not sure, so he secretly warned Victor Rajiv.
“Yes! Rest a.s.sured, Mr. Charles. I know what to do!” Victor Rajiv was astonished for a moment, and he no longer had any doubt about Yang Ming’s ident.i.ty!
Not only was he certain about Yang Ming’s ident.i.ty, but Victor Rajiv also understood that Yang Ming’s status in the b.u.t.terfly Family was not low. If he dared to speak with Butler Jin and Old Charles in this tone, then he must be at the top of the b.u.t.terfly Family.
Only core members of the top a.s.sa.s.sin family in the world dared to talk in this tone to Mr. Charles, the head of the Charles Family, the second-best a.s.sa.s.sin family in the world.
“Okay, the call has been made. Mr. Victor Rajiv, shouldn’t you release them now?” asked Yang Ming while glancing at Victor Rajiv.
“This… of course!” Victor Rajiv was really bitter at the moment. If I knew earlier, I would have just released the hostages and left a good impression on Yang Ming. Now I am naturally weaker. Anyone would feel that I made the decision under pressure. Although this is the case, if I were more decisive and released the hostages without making this call, then even if the enemy couldn’t be transformed into friends, Yang Ming would not have any bad impression about me.
“Then hurry up!” Yang Ming looked at his watch plainly. “It’s almost four o’clock. If you don’t want your entire organization to be destroyed, quickly bring them here.”
Victor Rajiv’s heart suddenly jumped. Although Yang Ming’s tone was very boastful before, he was not so ruthless. Now, Yang Ming’s words were almost threatening!
How could Victor Rajiv not know what was going on before and after this? But so what if he knew? How could a small Blackhawk Gang be an opponent of the b.u.t.terfly Family? Especially when he heard the conversation between Yang Ming and Old Charles that hinted at their close relations.h.i.+p. If something happened to Yang Ming, the Charles Family would stick up for him!
Under this double pressure, it would be psychotic if Victor Rajiv had any other thoughts.
“Yes! I’ll call my secretary and ask him to bring them over!” Victor Rajiv didn’t dare to delay and responded quickly.
“No need to bring them. Prepare a motorboat and take them to the motorboat directly. I will go over there soon!” Yang Ming waved and commanded.
“Yes, I’ll get someone to prepare it now!” Victor Rajiv said quickly.
“Don’t think about rigging the motorboat. I don’t think you are stupid, right?” Although Yang Ming thought that Victor Rajiv was not a fool, he still reminded him.
If there was a problem with the motorboat, Yang Ming could naturally swim back easily. The problem was that he didn’t know whether Chen Mengyan and Victoria could survive or not. The seawater in this season was still quite cold.
“How would I dare!” Victor Rajiv smiled bitterly and somewhat mocked himself. “For a small Blackhawk Gang, whether it is the b.u.t.terfly Family or the Charles Family, it is a leviathan existence.”
“Very good, but I still have a piece of advice. Do you want to hear it?” Yang Ming nodded with satisfaction, stood up, and prepared to get down from the car. But he suddenly thought of something, so he turned and asked.
“Naturally, I’ll listen to Mr. Li’s advice,” said Victor Rajiv, looking upright.
“This time, your approach made me very dissatisfied. You dared to doubt my ident.i.ty!” Yang Ming said coldly. “This time, I will not hold you responsible because I am in a hurry. However, in the future, do not let me see the Blackhawk Gang in China. Otherwise, it will be at your own risk!”
Yang Ming naturally did not want to allow drug trafficking organizations such as the Blackhawk Gang to operate within China. Although Yang Ming was not a guardian of peace, he did not want to see his fellow citizens being harmed. Therefore, it was better for the Blackhawk Gang not to be involved in drug trafficking in China. Otherwise, Yang Ming wouldn’t mind resolving it.
“This… OK, I understand what to do!” Although Victor Rajiv didn’t want to agree with Yang Ming’s advice, he didn’t want to be wiped out. G.o.d knew what would happen if he offended Yang Ming!
Although giving up the market in China was very painful, there was no other way.
Ai. Victor Rajiv sighed for a long time. If I was smarter before and directly released the girls, would there be a different ending? However, he did not know whether Yang Ming would propose it or not even if he released them immediately.
“I hope you can do it otherwise… Hehe, I forgot to tell you, I’m a permanent resident in China.” Yang Ming patted Victor Rajiv on the shoulder, eliminating his last thoughts.
After saying this, Yang Ming got off the luxury RV. Victor Rajiv followed behind with a bitter smile and commanded the secretary who was already waiting outside the RV…
Although the secretary was unsure of the reasons behind Victor Rajiv’s command, he did not dare to ask when he looked at Yang Ming who stood next to Victor Rajiv suspiciously. He quickly went to execute Victor Rajiv’s order.
