Chapter 189 Obey And Live, Oppose and Die (2/2)
Lord Long calmly asked, ”So what if I still want to recruit Xiao Bing?”
Long Yan clenched his fist and said angrily, ”Big Brother, it's true that the Long Family has become what it is today because of you. But when you left the family and went out, Father and I supported the whole Long Family. Otherwise, the Long Family would have been destroyed. Now although our father is gone and you are the patriarch, I should have a place. If you don't kill Xiao Bing, not only do you not care about your nephew, but more so, you're humiliating me!”
”In that case, I will go to Jiang City with my men and kill him myself.”
Lord Long suddenly stood up, sending a rush of fearsome power towards Long Yan like terrifying waves.
The four brothers behind Long Yan suddenly shouted at the same time and stepped forward, standing in front of Long Yan. They clapped their palms facing forwards, and the strength of the four combined into one to break Lord Long's violent power.
Lord Long snorted and his left foot stepped forward slightly. The ground cracked and he clapped his two hands facing forward at the same time. A fearsome energy many times greater than before rushed towards them. The four brothers took a big hit and flew out like a kite with a broken string. Blood gushed out of them as they fell to the ground.
At this moment, Lord Long was like a big dragon looking down on all living things. In his eyes, all the creatures were so small and vulnerable that if he wanted to, he could destroy them all, even the whole earth.
Long Yan's legs quaked and he almost fell to the ground. Lord Long looked at him majestically and said calmly, ”Don't worry, Xiao Bing didn't yield to me. If you want to kill him, you will have your chance. Leave with your men. For your sake, I didn't kill them.”
All Long Yan thought of was that Lord Long was really foreign to him. The stronger he was and the higher his status, the more foreign he became. He wanted to express his indignation, but the oppressive look in Lord Long's eyes made him unable to speak. He took a deep breath and said, ”I got it.”
Long Yan retreated step by step. Lord Long looked more and more scary, more and more incomprehensible to him, and he got more and more fearful. His older brother had already become an overlord.
Lord Long had changed. And how could he not change?
Long Yan retreated from the hall step by step and asked a few servants to help the four brothers out. Although he felt they were useless, he had to quickly send them to be treated. They were his closest and most trusted aides. If he lost them, his position in the Long Family would only fall further.
As Long Yan was leaving with is men, Lord Long slowly sat back on the sofa and put both hands on the armrests. He suddenly said, ”Wait a minute.”
Long Yan stopped and looked into the hall.
Lord Long said with fearsome eyes, ”Long Yan, don't mention what you and Father have done in the past anymore. I will always remember what you and Father have done, and you will always be my younger brother. But the Long Family only needs one master. If the Long Family wants to dominate the underground world, orders must be strictly enforced. Everyone only needs to obey one person. That includes you and anyone who are under you. All of you must only obey me. ”
”I... I got it.”
Lord Long waved his hand and said, ”Go!”
Zhuge Jiangnan waited till Long Yan and his men had gone before he said worriedly, ”Mr. Long, you offended your brother completely and absolutely just like that?”
Lord Long said calmly, ”We are family, I didn't offend him. He's my younger brother, and I'm his older brother.”
”I'm afraid it's not that simple.” Zhuge Jiangnan sighed, ”You may not understand, Mr. Long, but I have lived for many years and won't have many years to live. I can see all situations clearly. Your younger brother once supported the Long Family with your father, but at the time, the Long Family could only be regarded as a small force in the city. It was not even a fraction of Jiang Zihou's force today.”
”After you came back, the Long Family began to expand rapidly with the combination of your strength and of the brothers you brought with you. It first unified the underground world into one city, and then it unified the whole province, and finally the forces of the two provinces. Your father is gone and the head of the Long Family should be you. In terms of feeling, you are Long Yan's older brother. In terms of reason, the Long Family has become what it is today because of your strength.”
”But if it was not because of you, the head of the Long Family should be Long Yan. The human heart is greedy. He knows very well he has no right to be the master and he could also have a bit of hostility. With your prestige, strength and subordinates, you can still convince him. But this time, I am afraid that you will let his dissatisfaction breed. From now on, he will only go farther and farther away from you.”
Lord Long asked, ”Old Mr. Zhuge, what do you think I should do?”
”There are two options. One, take the initiative and be reconciled with Long Yan. In your position, just showing your kindness and concern towards your brother should be enough to make him feel grateful. Two, kill Xiao Bing. Other than these, there is no other option.”
”I won't kill Xiao Bing for now. I am very interested in this person.”
Zhuge Jiangnan sighed and asked, ”Then be reconciled...”
”That's even worse... I want everyone to know that there is only one master in the Long Family. Those who obey me will live, those who oppose me will die!” Lord Long's whole being exuded dominance.
