Chapter 1005: Chapter 999 Shen Manjun Makes a Phone Call

Hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Rose suddenly thought of yesterday’s encounter at the Han Family, and with a slight sigh, she said, "Lin Demon, I was being too naive. I originally thought that as long as we kept increasing Yama Palace’s influence and absorbed people from major powers to join us, we would have the strength to compete with the prominent families. But after what I saw yesterday at the Han Family, I realized we’ve been taking a path that’s too singular, with too few elite fighters. Merely expanding our influence without high-caliber fighters to back us up means we can never match those prominent families. No matter how big we make Yama Palace, it will always just be a paper tiger, crumbling at the first encounter. So, I plan to change our future development strategy."

Lin Yafei was slightly taken aback, "What strategy?"

"We must advance side by side. Not only do we need to enhance our power, but we also need to recruit a bunch of elite fighters to serve us," Rose said decisively.

"Sister Mei Gui, are you planning to recruit elite fighters?"

Before Lin Yafei could speak, Mandala had already chimed in, "Sister Mei Gui, I’m not trying to discourage you, but in this world, it’s always the strong who are revered. If you want to recruit elite fighters, it might not be feasible. Although my brother can help, he’s just one person and can’t cover all aspects. Moreover, as Yama Palace’s influence expands step by step, it will inevitably attract attention from some major powerhouses. By then, if the other party intentionally sends elite fighters to infiltrate us and dismantle our forces from within, what will we do? Even the most stringent screening won’t work since every major power has elite fighters unknown to others, and forging an identity isn’t that difficult."

Bai Zhiqing, although silent, nodded in agreement. External enemies aren’t frightening; what’s truly terrifying are the insiders. A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by ant nests. The most fearsome enemies are those from inside because, as the saying goes, to catch bandits, first capture their leader. If someone captures Rose and Lin Yafei, it’s safe to say Yama Palace would collapse without a fight.

"Manman, you’re right, but I’ve already come up with a solution, which needs your help," Rose said with a smile.

Mandala was slightly surprised, "You want me to help?"

"Yes, that’s right, I need your help."

Rose looked at Mandala and began to speak slowly, "Manman, have you ever read The Smiling Proud Wanderer? Do you know about the Three Corpses Brain God Pill poison? I hope you can concoct a similar poison, preferably using Gu Worms as the main ingredient, with the drug suppressing the eruption time of the Gu Worms. The poison would require an antidote at each specific time; otherwise, the Gu Worm would explode from the body, devouring the host. If you, Manman, can develop this kind of poison, creating an elite fighter team in a short period would not be difficult."

Before Mandala could respond, Bai Zhiqing frowned and said, "Rose, isn’t this too cruel? Besides, doing this means those people may not genuinely submit to you."

"Zhiqing, you’re a businesswoman, so you can be excused for not understanding the rules of the Underworld."

Rose explained to Bai Zhiqing, "In the Underworld, there aren’t so many roundabout rules. The strong rule; that’s the only law in the Underworld. If I’m stronger than you, my words are truth, and you must obey. Additionally, the stronger one’s power, the more they fear death. As long as I control their lives, they have to listen to me; otherwise, I’ll make their lives a living hell. And as long as their lives are in my hands, I’m not afraid of them being disloyal unless they aren’t afraid of death. What I need is for them to work for me, not be loyal. As long as Tianxing’s power breaks through again, those people will not dare to resist because one invincible warrior can equal a thousand troops."

Upon hearing Rose’s words, Bai Zhiqing furrowed her brows and said, "Rose, that’s one way to look at it, but what if someone finds the antidote?"

"Then there’s nothing I can do. So once I decide to do this, there’s no turning back. My life will be in Manman’s hands, depending on whether she can mix a poison that can’t be cracked by others."

"Sister Mei Gui, leave it to me then. I, Mandala, love challenges the most. Since you want to concoct this type of poison, there is no problem. I’ll call Little Bee and ask him to send over some suitable Gu Worms as quickly as possible. By the way, my brother previously gave me a Six-winged Golden Cicada, and I can completely use it to create a new poison that no one can crack," Mandala said, patting her chest with a gleam of excitement in her eyes. She loved such challenges the most.

"Manman, better safe than sorry..."

Before Bai Zhiqing could finish, Lu Tianxing interrupted her, saying, "Wife, you have to trust Manman. I can’t speak for everything, but Manman’s poison-making skills are unrivaled globally. Cracking her poisons is virtually impossible."

"Heh, you know me best, brother. Sister Mei Gui, let’s decided then. I’ll head upstairs to do some research now. You guys just wait for the good news."

As she finished speaking, Mandala downed the bowl of porridge in one gulp, grabbed two pieces of bread, and eagerly headed upstairs.

"Lin Demon, let’s go too! There aren’t a few people eyeing this piece of meat that is the Wang Family. We must act quickly. By the time we devour it, plus with the Han Family backing us, the other families won’t dare do anything against us," Rose said, finishing her bowl of porridge quickly and standing up.

"That works too."

Lin Yafei nodded, and the two of them left the living room one after the other.

The previously lively living room instantly became quiet, leaving only Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing, and Lin Qianru.

Just then, Lu Tianxing’s phone rang suddenly. Confused, he picked up the phone, and after seeing the caller ID, he was visibly stunned. Shen Manjun was calling him? How was that possible? After all, yesterday Shen Manjun was practically itching to eat him alive.

After a moment of silence, Lu Tianxing answered the call, "Hello."

"Lu... Mr. Lu, I’m really sorry about yesterday. I... I didn’t know the situation, so I misunderstood you. This time, I’m calling to apologize and hope you can forgive me."

Shen Manjun’s slightly stammering voice came through the phone, and it was obviously mixed with a hint of nervousness and a bit of awkwardness.

"Hehe, Miss Shen, you’re overthinking it. I didn’t take it to heart. If I saw my daughter with a man, I’d probably go crazy too, so there’s no need to worry about it."

Lu Tianxing responded to Shen Manjun with a smile. He indeed hadn’t taken this matter to heart; such a situation would be unbearable for anyone. The words Shen Manjun said yesterday were polite. If it were him, he’d have slapped first and asked questions later, crippling someone if need be.
