Chapter 507 The Key to Greatness is Population
Lin Qiye smiled and said:
"Aren't you going to continue?"
"Weren't you having a lively discussion just now?"
"Should we send all men to hell?"
"Should we...restore the old system?"
"Thump!"
The two supporters next to Liu Yan instantly collapsed, their legs went weak, and they knelt down on the ground.
"Sir! I was forced! It's all Liu Yan's fault! She threatened us with violence!"
"Yes, yes, yes! She's always wanted to seize power! We've always been on your side, sir!"
The two supporters who had previously been subservient to Liu Yan now acted like mad dogs, vying to throw all their dirty water at her for even the slightest chance of survival.
They knelt on the ground, banging their heads against the ground repeatedly, their foreheads covered in blood and gore, but they dared not stop.
Human nature was on full display at this moment.
Ugly, yet real.
With these two as examples, the other four hesitated for a moment, and then they all knelt down and begged for mercy!
"My lord! I was forced into it!"
"It's all Liu Yan's fault! She seduced us!"
"My lord, Liu Yan's heart deserves to be punished!"
"We were all blinded by greed; we'll never dare to have any disloyalty again!"
"My lord, I was wrong..."
Liu Yan stared in disbelief at her six companions who had just been calling her "sisters," her eyes filled with despair and resentment.
"You...you all..."
She wanted to yell and defend herself, but under Lin Qiye's tangible gaze, she felt as if her throat was filled with lead, so heavy that she couldn't utter a sound.
Lin Qiye sat in the main seat, one hand supporting his chin, the other gently tapping the stone table.
"Thump, thump, thump."
The rhythmic tapping sound was like a heavy hammer pounding on Liu Yan's heart.
"No...don't kill me..."
Liu Yan finally broke down. She collapsed to her knees with a thud, abandoning all dignity, and crawled like a dog to Lin Qiye's feet.
"My lord! I was wrong! I was blind!"
"I just...I just wanted to manage the city well...I really didn't mean to betray you..."
"I'll do anything if you spare me! I'm a high-level transcendent being! I'm useful! I can be your dog!"
Looking down at the woman at his feet, who had just been so arrogant, shouting that she would make "Jingkong City great again," he saw her now as humble as dust.
A cold smile curled at the corners of Lin Qiye's lips.
"You dare to challenge me?"
Those three simple words sealed her fate.
Lin Qiye leaned forward slightly, a golden light flashing deep in his eyes.
boom--!!!!!!
Brilliant day!
It arrived with a roar!
Moreover, Lin Qiye controlled this will very well, so it did not affect the entire room, but was completely and precisely focused on Liu Yan alone!
"Ugh—!!!"
Liu Yan let out an extremely shrill scream!
She felt as if her soul had been torn apart by an invisible hand!
"Click-clack—"
That was the sound of bones shattering under immense pressure!
"puff--!"
Fresh blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed from her mouth!
Next came the eyes, ears, nose...
Blood spurted from all seven orifices!
In just a moment, this extraordinary high-level expert, who was considered a local overlord in Jingkong City, collapsed to the ground like a rotten tomato that had been crushed, barely clinging to life.
Quiet.
A deathly silence.
Inside the meeting room, the remaining nine women, including Tang Lei, all held their breath and stood stiffly.
The six people kneeling on the ground were trembling and didn't even dare to lift their heads.
too strong!
Too bad!
With just a glance, without even moving a finger, a high-level transcendent being was critically injured and on the verge of death!
Is this... Lord Lin's strength?
Lin Qiye withdrew his gaze, as if he had done something insignificant.
Lin Qiye's voice was calm, yet it resonated in everyone's ears:
"Now, let's talk about... how to make Jingkong City great again..."
……
The six women, as if granted a pardon, lowered their heads even further and pledged their loyalty in trembling voices:
"I swear to serve you to the death, sir!"
"Whatever the adults say goes!"
"Your Excellency is the heavens above Jingkong City! We are willing to do anything for you!"
Lin Qiye spoke calmly.
"It seems you all know how to adapt to the times."
"Anything?"
The six women trembled. Although they were afraid, they were all shrewd people who had struggled in the abyss. How could they not understand the deeper meaning in those words?
In the past, they might have felt humiliated.
But after witnessing that scene that seemed like divine punishment, Lin Qiye's current attitude became their lifeline, or even... a stepping stone to climb.
"It's...anything."
One of the more attractive young women boldly raised her head, her eyes filled with a hint of flattery and allure, and she even deliberately puffed out her chest.
Lin Qiye smiled.
But there was no warmth in that smile.
"very good."
"In that case, drag her up."
"He's not quite dead yet. The life force of a high-level transcendent being isn't that fragile."
"yes!"
The six women immediately and frantically helped Liu Yan, who was covered in blood, to her feet and forced her to kneel before Lin Qiye.
Liu Yan was already in a daze, only exhaling and not inhaling.
That face, which was once quite beautiful, was now covered in blood and contorted with pain.
Lin Qiye looked at her.
It would be a waste to kill someone with such extraordinary high-level combat power.
more importantly……
"If we want Jingkong City to be great again, population is the key."
As Lin Qiye spoke, he extended his hand.
"As punishment for your betrayal, from this day forward, you are no longer a high-ranking official."
"You are merely... a tool for the population..."
Om-!
A surge of life essence forcefully poured into Liu Yan's body.
This energy rapidly repaired her shattered internal organs and bones, pulling her back from the brink of death.
"Well……"
Liu Yan suddenly opened her eyes, gasping for breath.
The intense physical pain subsided, replaced by a feeling of surrender and fear that originated from the depths of my soul.
She looked at Lin Qiye in horror.
She could feel that her life and death, even her will, were completely controlled by the man in front of her.
The mere thought of his would make me wish I were dead.
"Thank you... thank you, Master, for sparing my life..."
Liu Yan lowered her head, her voice hoarse, completely resigned to her fate.
That arrogant and haughty demeanor was completely crushed.
After dealing with Liu Yan, Lin Qiye turned to look at Tang Lei, who had been standing to the side with a complicated expression.
"Tang Lei".
"Yes, sir!" Tang Lei bowed quickly.
"Go and inform Xiang Li."
Lin Qiye's eyes deepened:
"Have him come to see me immediately."
"Tell him that if I don't see him within half an hour..."
"Then they will never have to show up again."
Tang Lei felt a chill run down her spine.
She sensed the murderous intent in those words.
"Yes! I'll go right away!"
Tang Lei didn't dare to delay and immediately turned around and rushed out of the conference room.
……
Half an hour later.
A series of hurried and chaotic footsteps could be heard outside the conference room door.
There were also the sounds of men's heavy breathing and fearful whispers.
"Commander Tang... Lord Lin has really returned?"
"You're not lying to us, are you?"
"That terrifying pressure just now... could it be...?"
Xiang Li and his two subordinates stood at the door, their foreheads covered in sweat.
Tang Lei looked at them coldly, her eyes filled with disgust.
"Go in."
"The adults are waiting for you."
Xiang Li swallowed hard, his hand trembling as he reached out and pushed open the heavy stone door.
however.
The scene inside the door made him and his two men's eyes widen instantly, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground!
There it was, beside the long stone table.
The seven female executives, who had previously been high and mighty and bossy towards them, now huddled around the young man sitting in the main seat like docile kittens.
Some were massaging their legs, some were rubbing their shoulders, and some were even...
As for Liu Yan, whom even Tang Lei was wary of, she had recently forced him to execute several of his brothers.
She was kneeling at the man's feet, humbly holding a cup of water and carefully handing it to him.
"Gulp."
Xiang Li swallowed hard.
Is this...is this the power and authority of Lord Lin?
This is too... too enviable... no, too terrifying!
