Chapter 743 - Setting the backstage little by little (1/2)

Under the mosaic ceiling, a loud crashing sound filled the confines of the walls.

Ifel Abromich panted angrily after turning over the glass table. The custom-made designer table was smashed to pieces on the tiled floor.

Ethan flinched and distanced himself away from his raging father.

Ifel Abromich shouted at the subordinate who brought the news to him. ”Say it again? Who dares to steal my business?!”

”...I-it is the Faceless King.”

Ifel Abromich's eyes darkened.

The Faceless King!

He was an underground king whose identity was unknown. Because they did not know which family this organization was under, this faceless king grew in power discreetly until they rivalled the present underground kings, such as himself, Ifel Abromich.

He and Ming Zhi Yi tried to get into this man's turf, but the other's brotherhood secrecy was so deep that no one, not even the second-in-command, knew which person was the true king. They had a special way of communication. Although the spies sent by the Abromich family stayed there for a long time, they never met the Faceless King even once. Even requests for cooperations and meetings were declined.

So the alliance that Ming Zhi Yi wanted to offer to the Faceless King himself was abandoned. Their only choice was to eradicate that organization once they eliminated the legendary families and dominated the eastern continent.

So far, his faction and that Faceless King's faction did not cross paths a lot. The distance between the two territories was far. The two parties both dipped their toes in every kind of illegal trade, but they also have their own specialization.

The Abromich family focused on drug manufacturing and distribution, smuggling of oil, as well as human trafficking, while the Faceless King specialized on arms dealing, intelligence, and smuggling of top-tier goods like diamonds and antiques.

Although the two parties got into some quarrels and fights, it was only common in the underworld where practically every group was in constant skirmishes. There seemed to be a tacit understanding to never cross the other's territorial lines.

But this time, the Faceless King's faction went over the line.

Not just in one field, but all of their operations were taken over by this organization.

Ifel Abromich had already expected that some organizations would use this opportunity to expand their area and take a bite out of the Abromich's pie. It was within calculations. Logically, no one would actually dare to grab all of the Abromich's business, if they did not want to enter a vendetta war with the Abromich family.

But who would have expected that the Faceless King from a distant place would expand their operations and take all the Abromich's business routes and partners?!

This bastard was clearly challenging him openly!

Fury rose like waves inside Ifel Abromich's ċhėst.

”Ha! Good! Faceless King, how dare you challenge me so cowardly like this?!”

But what made Ifel Abromich more annoyed was that he could not even fight back at this moment.

Ethan looked down. He dared not breathe loudly. His father was the scariest person at this moment.

Suddenly, Ifel Abromich turned to Ethan. ”Ethan.”

Ethan stiffened. ”Yes, Dad?”

Ifel Abromich continued. ”Contact Lu Jin and tell his father that we need his people underground to take care of this matter. I, Ifel Abromich, will not turn a blind eye to what this Faceless King is doing.”

He could not take actions directly, but he still had some people who could.
