Chapter 247 - Rory

"How did Xi saved the Ellington and Xue Yue?" Zhan Bo Cheng asked.

"Little Xi pretended to have killed Ellington and Xue Yue in front of Poker to get them out of Poker. Little Xi knew that they didn't want to be a member of Poker, and they didn't want to do anything bad. Hence, she decided to fake their deaths, and when Poker escaped, Ellington and Xue Yue were left behind because they thought that Little Xi had already killed them. After Poker left, Little Xi then rescued them as she indeed had shot at them but non-vital areas. When Ellington and Xue Yue woke up, they then realized that Little Xi had gotten them out of Poker," Jing Mo Chen answered.

"What about you? How did you save Cayden and Valerie?" Bai Lang Yu asked.

"Cayden and Valerie took over the positions of Two of Spades and Two of Hearts from the people that raised them. However, Cayden and Valerie were against Poker attacking and committing those acts. Hence, they were locked up on the island when we were fighting against Poker six years ago. I got them out, and by chance, I found out that Cayden is the missing prince of Country N at that time. Then after that, he managed to return to Country N, and Valerie followed him as she was an orphan. That was when we realized that Poker had been kidnapping children. Poker lied to them that they were all abandoned by their families, or they would lie to them that they were their children. That way, they could make the members of Poker willing to fight against the world with their hatred."

They continued to talk for a while more on the things that they found out.

"Remember not to let anyone else know about this," Jing Mo Chen said.

"Mm. We know," Zhan Bo Cheng answered.

"We have to continue acting to let their guards down," Jing Mo Chen said.

"What about the underworld? A lot of the underworld groups have been taken over by Poker's forces, right?" Qin Feng asked Bai Lang Yu.

"Mm. White Wolf suffered a lot of damages. There was a rather large group of our people that died. Luckily, Xi trained some of us at that time. If not, we would never be able to withstand their fights."

"You guys have to be more careful. I think they are not only trying to take the underworld but the entire Country X," Ji Zheng Yang added.

"Did you manage to find out anything about Heinrich Corporation?" Bai Lang Yu asked Jing Mo Chen.

"No. They came too mysteriously, and just like what little Xi guessed, they have support from Country Y."

"Would that put E's Corporation in danger?"

"No. Little Xi had informed the others to be wary and pretend to work with them while they try to see what information they can get."

"The one that is in real danger right now is the other few major companies. Jing Corporation, Yang Company, Shao Investment Corporation, and Sun Corporation. Even the Ji family are in danger because Ji Tian Ping is the President now."

"However, what's weird is that even Shen Corporation and Xiao Corporation are in danger. If Shen Nan Kun and the people behind him are responsible for all these, why would they make their own company go into turmoil."

"If they were the only ones who didn't face any problem, what would you think?"

"I would think that either they were the one behind the mess or they are colluding with the people behind the mess. If not, why would they be protected while others aren't?"

"That's the reason why."

"However, no matter they pretend or not, we would know that it is them. So, why would they bother to pretend?"

"We know. But the others don't."

"So, you mean they are trying to divert the attention of the others, and then it is actually just a war between them and the Jing and Yang family?"

"Not exactly, as you can see, those companies that rejected their offer are suffering a lot of damages now. So, they are probably trying to let others see their capabilities and power. This way, they could openly take the companies that turn them down, and they could make use of those who accepted their offers."

"Basically, they are trying to build their power and status while they take down those they hate."

"What did the Jing and Yang family do to them? They are from Country Y, so what's the relationship between you all?"

"Little Xi and I were guessing that they are from Country X, but they moved to Country Y."

"Meaning to say, they are originally from Country X but later had to go to Country Y and now they are back for revenge?"

"Mm."

"What could make them go to Country Y and do so much to get revenge?"

"Do you remember that before Jing, Lu, Yang and Xiao family went up to the first and second place, the then first and second place were the Zhou family and the Duan family?"

"Mm. Those two family were extremely powerful, and they even wanted to be even more powerful. The then Prince of Zhou family wanted to get married to your mother, and the then princess of the Duan family wanted to get married to your father, right?" Ji Zheng Yang asked.

"Yes. However, my father rejected the princess of Duan family because he didn't like her. Not only that, but also because my father found out that the Duan family was able to stay so powerful because they worked with the people from the underworld to keep their business protected. That was also the same case for the Zhou family. My parents dislike people who are not honest and like to commit evil acts."

"The underworld group you were talking about is Rory, right?"

"Mm. Rory means red and royalty. To them, the red here signifies blood. That was why they often killed people, and the royalty here should really just mean that they are part of the royal family."
