Chapter 132: The Destruction of the Wang Family

Shrouded in secrecy, Zero arrived at the Wang family’s villa.

“Hey, what are you doing here? This area is off-limits.”

The gatekeeper of the Wang family tried to stop Zero, but the emotionless gaze from Zero startled him. Suddenly, a gun was pressed to his head.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

“Bro... brother, let’s not be hasty.”

With a loud bang, a close-range shot executed the gatekeeper, making him the first unfortunate victim of Zero’s mission. Kicking open the door of the Wang family villa, Zero made his way inside, firing his gun with masterful accuracy.

“What’s going on? What’s that noise outside?” Wang Hong came out of the study and asked the butler.

“It’s terrible, sir. Someone’s broken in with a gun, and the guards are dead,” the butler reported to Wang Hong, visibly shaken.

Wang Hong doubted his ears until the gunfire neared, his face turning grim. He rushed to his bedroom to retrieve the handgun he had hidden away.

The Wang family had many bodyguards, especially after the previous assassination of the old patriarch. Wang Hong had specifically hired numerous guards for their protection.

However, against Zero, these bodyguards were merely sitting ducks. They stood no chance without weapons to defend themselves against Zero. Even for a prominent family like the Wangs, arming their bodyguards wasn’t a trivial matter.

Wang Hong walked out with his hidden gun and found the butler lifeless on the ground, and not a single guard was left alive.

As he stepped out, he felt the hot barrel of a gun against his forehead, causing Wang Hong to drop his gun.

“Who are y–”

Bang!

Those were the last words uttered by Wang Hong, as Zero, merciless and direct, was solely focused on fulfilling Chen Luo’s mission and had no time for idle chatter with Wang Hong. His singular objective was assassination, targeting the Wang family.

After departing the villa, Zero set out to locate other Wang family members.

Wang Hong’s younger brother and cousins, not present at the villa, might survive if they were outside Magic City. However, any Wang family member within Magic City stood no chance against Zero’s pursuit.

Zero’s brazen spree of killings was bound to draw attention.

The police force of Magic City, though not idle, was nonetheless a step behind. By the time they encircled Zero, he had already dispatched most Wang family members in the city. Only those who had left Magic City to develop elsewhere were fortunate enough to survive.

“Drop your weapon and surrender now!”

Who would pass up on such a juicy morsel served on a silver platter?

If you don’t partake, someone else surely will.

The collapse of the Wang family turned out to be a windfall for many smaller families in Magic City, as the fall of this colossal elephant fed many.

However, not everyone was happy about the Wang family’s fall, such as the Li family.

Though the Li family was feasting on the Wang family’s corpse as well, Li Zhong did not wish for their downfall since the Wang family could have helped the Li family against the Luo family. Now with the Wang family eliminated, the Luo family no longer had to worry about them and could target the Li family without any reservations.

Ye Chen, the protagonist, also didn’t want the Wang family’s death. The Wang family had been a supporter of Ye Chen, and without them, he lost a significant ally.

“Who do you think is most likely behind the downfall of the Wang family?” Li Zhong asked of Ye Chen.

Now the Li family and Ye Chen were in the same boat. Even if Li Zhong had reservations about Ye Chen, he would still consult on certain matters.

“It has to be Chen Luo, definitely his work.”

Ye Chen was absolutely certain that Chen Luo orchestrated the Wang family’s destruction, but there was no evidence, and the perpetrator was already dead.

Many pursued the mastermind behind the scenes, but without leads, the one who annihilated the Wang family seemed to have materialized out of nowhere.

“Do you suspect Chen Luo just because of your hatred for him?” Li Zhong asked, his eyebrows deeply furrowed.

Li Zhong didn’t believe Chen Luo was capable of such a deed. He felt this incident wasn’t Chen Luo’s doing.

“My suspicion of Chen Luo isn’t just based on my personal hate for him. Apart from him, I can’t think of anyone else who could dispatch such formidable individuals.”

Masters were not common. Although Ye Chen had previously encountered many powerful figures, their strength paled in comparison to his, which had always been a point of pride for Ye Chen. However, Chen Luo seemed to have found several individuals who were not weaker than him, including Ah Da and the two women by his side.

If Chen Luo could recruit another powerful individual to obliterate the Wang family, that scenario was not implausible.

Li Zhong’s brows were tightly knitted. If it truly was Chen Luo’s doing, and if he were to employ the same strategy against the Li family, could they withstand it?

“We must try to find something to leverage against Chen Luo.”

The thought of Chen Luo potentially using the same tactic against the Li family tightened Li Zhong’s chest. They needed to find a way to neutralize Chen Luo urgently.
