411 Black-Back Centipede (2/2)
”That Qin Clan is really detestable.” Lin Qing was infuriated after hearing about the Qin Clan's evil deeds.
”There are still many of the Qin Clan's people in the Blue Ocean Group. If you take over, there are many things that will definitely follow suit, so you need to be mentally prepared.”
Under the Qin Clan's management, the Blue Ocean Group had become a family enterprise with many complicated relationships in it. Those who were somehow related to the Qin Clan were taking most of the positions at the management level, not to mention the clan members themselves. When Lin Qing became the CEO, the first challenge would be the change of manpower, which was a complicated process. After all, those people had been deeply rooted in the group and had interests in different aspects of it.
”Don't worry. Believe me, within a short time, I will be able to get the group into good shape,” Lin Qing uttered confidently.
”That will depend on Sister Lin.”
......
After settling the matter, Mo Wen left the cafeteria while Lin Qing left for Charm City that very night. Although the Qin Clan was in the Capital, the headquarters of the Blue Ocean Group was in Charm City. After all, Charm City was the economic center of Hua Xia, the window to global trading.
As for the issue of taking over the group, Mo Wen was not that worried. He had handed Qin Shaoyang to Lin Qing, and with his assistance, everything would go smoothly. That was another reason why he had not killed Qin Shaoyang.
The safety problem was not a worry, as he had already extirpated Qin Shaoyang's Cultivation and had taken his daughter as a hostage, so he didn't dare to be disobedient. Moreover, Lin Qing was no longer easy to handle. With Cultivation in the Embryonic Breathing realm, it would be effortless for her to suppress Qin Shaoyang.
In the following half a month, Mo Wen put his heart and soul into practicing. It would be very difficult to make an improvement after breaking through to the Embryonic Breathing realm, so he had to put in more effort. Fortunately, Mo Wen had been an expert in the Golden Elixir realm previously, so he could avoid any detours after breaking through to the Embryonic Breathing realm and improve by leaps and bounds daily.
Lin Qing was indeed a successful businesswoman. She had complete control over the Blue Ocean Group within half a month. Furthermore, she managed to gradually get rid of the people related to the Qin Clan in order to have completely new management.
...
One night, Mo Wen was practicing alone in his room. There was pin-drop silence.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes with two streaks of cold light in his pupils. He shot a look at the window to find the moonlight shining onto the windowpane. A half-meter-long big red and black centipede as thick as an arm was crawling slowly into the house while making some rustling sounds.
That big red and black centipede had a pair of azure-green eyes that were emitting a glowing green radiance. It seemed to be staring at Mo Wen before it suddenly opened its mouth and released a mouthful of green smoke that instantly enveloped Mo Wen.
Hmph! Mo Wen snorted coldly. A golden swirl immediately appeared on his body that produced a suction force. It sucked in all the green smoke, and the green smoke was instantly completely removed from the room.
In the meantime, a streak of golden sword light flashed and suddenly chopped at the big centipede's back. There was a clanking sound of metal on metal.
”Eh!?” Surprise flickered in Mo Wen's eyes. That stroke didn't cut the black-back centipede into halves but only left a scar on it that was neither deep nor shallow.
Such a hard shell!
He merely used a streak of Sword Qi that didn't contain much power. However, even so, a normal ancient martial arts practitioner in the Qi Nucleation realm wouldn't be able to resist it, not to mention an animal.
This black-back centipede was indeed not a simple one. It was way stronger than those poisonous vermin of Ren Liusha's. Although that stroke didn't hurt the black-back centipede, it did infuriate it. With a flash of red and black like a streak of sword light, it pounced onto Mo Wen.
”No regards of danger.” Mo Wen flicked his finger. A streak of golden Sword Qi flashed once again before a terrifying hot aura shot out.
A thud resounded.
Something dropped onto the floor. It was the black-back centipede. Now it was cut into two with greenish liquid flowing out of it. It corroded the ceramic tiled floor, creating a huge hole with white smoke coming out of it.
In the darkness, an angry voice resonated suddenly. ”How audacious! You actually dare to kill my Little Red. I will surely throw you into the snake cave and have millions of snakes devouring your heart.” That voice was full of rage, yet also with much surprise, as if the person hadn't expected the black-back centipede to die at Mo Wen's hand so easily.
A glowing light flashed in front of the window, and a person appeared inside the house. That person was dressed in a big, loose, green robe that entirely hid his body. His body was emitting a sinister aura.
”Who are you? Why are you so hostile towards me?” Mo Wen asked stoically. He was very surprised in his heart and was constantly conjecturing about this man's origin. He didn't seem to have encountered this kind of person before.
”Someone who's here to get your life.” That man in the green robe refused to discuss it further and immediately made his move. A streak of black Qi gathered in his hand and momentarily became a mass of black fog that lingered in his palm.
