Chapter 916: Chapter 855: Counterattack
Upon hearing Liu Hun’s words, Han San was once again taken aback. If it had been in the past, on the mountain, he might not have cared if Liu Hun said something like this. But now that he had emerged into the world, he gradually understood what these things meant to the entire world.
Human simulation technology had not yet appeared anywhere in the world. Even though domestic circles were aware of Liu Hun’s previous research, they were only just beginning to investigate it.
It had not been thoroughly developed, but at this moment, they had successfully researched it first, which meant they could leverage this technology to sell a lot of things for a considerable amount of money.
With money, one can move the devil to push a millstone. This principle works everywhere, although money isn’t omnipotent, sometimes it’s indispensable.
Liu Hun’s current estate, if to be truly assessed, wasn’t that much. He wouldn’t touch the assets in Haitou as they were his capital for battling several large families, and the construction in Shanghe Village still required significant investment in the later stages.
So considering this, Liu Hun couldn’t allocate money to Han San among the Zero Mercenary Group.
But now with this human simulation technology, not only could they make money, but they could also attract significant forces, and even some small countries to their side. Such terrifying effectiveness was something Han San could never have imagined before.
"Brother Tian, if we have this thing, I guarantee that within three months, everyone in the Zero Mercenary Group will submit!" Han San said to Liu Hun with a gleam of excitement in his eyes.
Hearing this, Liu Hun shook his head, looked at Han San, and said calmly, "You still don’t understand their nature. The reason they’re called a Mercenary Group is that they value profit over their lives, whether theirs or others’. Money sometimes isn’t everything, and because of this, you might provoke the envy of other mercenary groups. For this matter, I’ll give you something else."
Saying this, Liu Hun turned his hand, and a dark wooden block suddenly appeared in his palm.
"The mercenary token! Brother Tian... you... how do you have such a thing?" At that moment, seeing the token in Liu Hun’s hand, Han San’s face was filled with shock.
The mercenary token was a legend in the mercenary world; it was said that the first mercenary born in the world, with terrifying power, created three mercenary tokens, declaring that any mercenary seeing the token must obey its holder, or else their whole family would be slaughtered completely.
In the mercenary world, about a decade ago, a mercenary token appeared once. At that time, someone ignored the saying and killed the holder, and within less than an hour, everyone who had killed the token holder was dead, and no one knew how they had died.
After this incident, the mercenary token once again became a taboo item within the entire mercenary world.
"I stumbled upon this token overseas back in the day with the old master. I thought it was just a toy, so I kept it. Last time, when I went back to visit the old master, I took it with me by the way," Liu Hun said calmly.
"What? Brother Tian, you went back to see the old master?" Han San asked, once more taken aback by Liu Hun’s words.
"Yes, and I also encountered the rumored Black Shark. I nearly died at his hands," Liu Hun nodded.
"Black Shark? Wasn’t he the one who killed the old master?" At that moment, a great killing intent arose in Han San’s eyes, making Li Dandan beside him feel a chill run through her body.
"Black Shark is the old master’s son, I have confirmed that. There’s no need to doubt it, but he won’t help us in the slightest," Liu Hun said, and couldn’t help but sigh at the mention of Black Shark.
If Black Shark had agreed to help him back then, things he wanted to do next would be much easier.
But unfortunately, even though Black Shark knew that his father had been murdered, he was still indifferent. Liu Hun didn’t know what had happened between the old master and Black Shark, but since Black Shark was unwilling to help, Liu Hun wouldn’t beg him.
"How could it be? The old master never mentioned he had a son before," Han San was full of surprise.
Facing Han San’s surprise, Liu Hun gave a wry smile. If it hadn’t been for a letter he had accidentally seen in the past, and the fact that Black Shark now guarded the old master’s grave, he wouldn’t have believed the old master had such a son.
"Brother Tian, what do you plan to do next, and who are these people who came to assassinate you tonight?" Han San asked worriedly after suppressing his shock.
No matter whether Black Shark was the old master’s son or not, since Black Shark wasn’t willing to help, they would still have to rely on themselves in the future.
"Tonight’s people are from the Tong Family. Maybe it’s because I killed the leader of the De Yun Society and the Hongxing Gang. But I’m quite curious about how the Tong Family knew it was me secretly messing around," Liu Hun said with some doubt.
This matter made no sense. From beginning to end, he had been hidden in the dark, except for killing the leader of the De Yun Society and Hong Wenqiang. But only Uncle Yun and Ding Wen knew about it.
If Ding Wen had told the Tong Family, Ding Wen would have likely been dead by now, but Liu Hun had not heard any news from Uncle Yun or Wenhua, which clearly indicated that it was unlikely Ding Wen’s doing.
Moreover, doing so would bring no benefit to Ding Wen, and instead, it would put their whole family in danger.
"Brother Tian, we can’t let this matter go like this!" Han San gritted his teeth.
In this world, anyone who wants to kill Liu Hun is an enemy to Han San, so he absolutely won’t allow them to live in this world.
"We indeed can’t let this matter go, but right now, with our current strength, we can’t go head-to-head with them." At this point, Liu Hun couldn’t help but furrow his brows tightly.
The Tong Family can send people to assassinate him, but he can’t possibly go and assassinate people from the Tong Family; this is the disparity in strength.
This time, the Tong Family only sent a few people over, but who knows if there are more experts behind them. If both sides tear each other’s faces off, they’ll still end up at a disadvantage.
"But we can’t just let it go like this, can we?" Han San said with some frustration.
"Xiao San, since you’ve left the mountain, from now on, you must learn to endure. It was precisely because we didn’t know how to endure in the past that we ended up in this situation. Besides, I didn’t say we’ll let it go like this." Liu Hun looked seriously at Han San in front of him and lectured.
But Han San didn’t pay attention to the first half of the sentence at all, instead, his eyes lit up at the second half of the sentence.
He knew that since Liu Hun said so, he obviously had plans in mind, and all he needed to do next was to follow Liu Hun’s instructions.
"Brother Tian, tell me, I can’t hold back any longer. These guys are really too arrogant." Han San said with some excitement.
Seeing Han San’s appearance, Liu Hun knew that this guy hadn’t really listened to him, and knowing Han San’s temperament, he didn’t say much more.
After pondering for a moment, he instructed Han San, "Since you’re back now, go and harass some key people of the Tong Family for me. Remember, don’t kill them, just teach them a slight lesson."
"Brother Tian, isn’t this a bit too light?" Han San originally thought Liu Hun would want him to kill a few people to vent anger, but he didn’t expect this outcome.
"For us right now, it is indeed a bit light, but you need to know that I’m not dead, and the Tong Family has already lost several experts. Even if they have a large family and business, losing a few experts like this is hard to bear. If you do well in the future, for a long period, they might not dare to trouble me casually. On the contrary, it’s much better than the effect of killing someone." Liu Hun said with a bit of sentiment.
"Alright then, since Brother Tian said so, what else can I say?" Han San puckered his lips and agreed after that.
"Xiao Dan." After instructing Han San, Liu Hun called toward Li Dandan beside him.
After calling several times, Li Dandan came back to her senses, her face flushed slightly, and she apologetically said to Liu Hun, "Sorry... I..."
Seeing Li Dandan’s somewhat embarrassed look, Liu Hun took a deep breath, gently holding Li Dandan’s small hand, and said with a bitter smile, "I shouldn’t have told you the truth back then, but now that you know, you must slowly adapt. In this world, sometimes not all matters can be resolved by law; only power matters."
"I know, give me some time, I will adapt quickly." Li Dandan nodded to Liu Hun and said softly.
The scene tonight was indeed somewhat overwhelming for Li Dandan. After all, she had never even seen a dead person before, but tonight she saw a lot of blood and darkness; as a girl from an ordinary family, hearing these things at once was naturally a bit hard to adapt to.
Liu Hun understood this point, but now that things had come to this, he couldn’t do anything to reverse it; he could only try to make Li Dandan adapt to it all.
"Later, give Old Ding a call and have him come over to sort out these matters, then inform General Manager Yang to post an announcement on Tianhe Company’s website and hold a press conference tomorrow morning." Liu Hun pondered and said to Li Dandan.
"Do we really want to just tell the truth about this matter?" Although Li Dandan seldom went to the company recently, she understood what it meant to make an announcement at Tianhe Company.
At that time, everyone would know that the former chairman of Tianhe Company was assassinated. Although Tianhe Company had already changed hands, the final steps needed for the successful crafting of the Strengthening Erection Pill and the Beauty Pill still required Liu Hun’s involvement.
This point was already announced on Tianhe Company’s website during the company’s transfer.
So many people naturally didn’t want anything to happen to Liu Hun, as they had not yet bought a single bottle of Beauty Pill or Strengthening Erection Pill.
"Of course not, Tianhe Company only needs to announce my assassination attempt; as for the rest, I will release it at the press conference tomorrow morning. After this incident, I believe no one will easily try to come after me again." Liu Hun’s mouth turned up slightly.
Even though Tianhe Company had already been sold to Haitou, no one would have thought that he could still use Tianhe Company as a shield.
