Chapter 731 - Last Dance (1/2)
Mr. Finch tilted his head and asked.
”The position will give you benefits and advantages in many ways. What more do you want?”
Linfeng's dark eyes glinted sharply.
”I might have the advantage at this time. But all the hard work and risk will fall on me at this hardest period, while your son will earn the sweet harvest of my work in the future. Who really has the real advantage here?”
Mr. Finch's brows moved.
Alright, he could not say anything to that.
Linfeng continued.
”But do not worry. I am not asking for too much. I only want permission to use your organization to the fullest in case I need it.”
That was not too much? Mr. Finch was stunned.
”I cannot grant permission. I will not know if you are taking my organization to ruin.”
”Mr. Finch, you said that you know me well, and that is why you chose me. Then you should know that I will not use your organization for a futile fight.”
The tension that left earlier returned to his body.
What a pain. This would be a difficult decision.
Mr. Finch was confident that he could use another person to be the temporary 'king' to replace him in the meantime while he convinced his son, because he knew that whoever the regent leader was, he would not be able to use the entire organization's power by himself alone.
He would need his, Mr. Finch's, final say.
Mr. Finch tapped on the table with his fingertips. After what seemed like an eternity, the old man spoke.
”Can you tell me what it is for?”
”Ming Zhi Yi.”
Mr. Finch's fingertips stopped.
His wide eyes flew to Linfeng.
”Haha. You know the reason why I cannot yet place my son in this position was because of him, right?” He said sharply. ”I have been on tenterhooks for a long time because of that very man! The one thing I have not regretted since I became the underground king is keeping my identity a secret. Ming Zhi Yi, that damned man, is not able to put spies successfully on my side because he did know who exactly the 'king' is. But even though I know that he is after my turf, I can't do anything about him. Do you know why?”
Linfeng kept silent. His expression remained the same.
”It is because that damned man have many connections that it is too hard to tell which one is his man or which one is just for show.”
Linfeng nodded. ”In short, you do not know exactly how powerful Ming Zhi Yi is.”
”Right. If I, an underground king, cannot gather much information, then how can you? And you say that you will not be fighting a worthless fight? This is Ming Zhi Yi we are talking about. A man with an unknown number of knives in the dark. A lot of the underground business in the country and the neighboring ones has his hands on it.”
Linfeng nodded his head once more.
”That would be the case, if I really do not know him well enough. But what if I tell you that I know exactly who his people are, his spies, and the enemies that can destroy him?”
Silence.
”What…?” Mr. Finch is dumbfounded. ”If you have that… then perhaps, you can bring him down. However, there is no way. A lot of people have tried and are still trying to sniff out that man's weaknesses.”
There was no way that the young man before him could have that kind of information.
...Unless he had spies in Ming Zhi Yi's turf.
A highly positioned spy.
Mr. Finch's face slowly became somber.
Linfeng smiled.
”That's right. I do have them, so I am sure that if I played the cards well, we can bring him down.”
