Chapter 1095: 1095 Chapter Descendant of Jian Shen’s Story

A month later, with covert support from Organization X, Sister Hong received significant assistance in finances, materials, and manpower. Consequently, she led her subordinates to take over several territories consecutively, making her gang the city’s most preeminent.

Lin Yue would never have dreamed that Sister Hong would achieve such success today, transforming from a dispensable woman by Boss Hong’s side to toppling him and becoming the reigning queen of the underworld.

Although Lin Yue was happy for Sister Hong’s achievements, he couldn’t bring himself to share in the happiness, because it meant that escaping the gang would be even harder now. Moreover, as Sister Hong expanded her conquests, Lin Yue feared he would have to involve himself in more dealings, sinking ever deeper into the wrong path with each passing day.

Now, Lin Yue was in charge of the underground entertainment world, a position many envied, but he had no interest in it at all.

Every day, after the underground entertainment venues closed, Lin Yue would stay behind to have a good drink at the bar, a weary expression on his face.

"What’s the matter? You look so down every day. You’re sitting in this coveted seat and still not happy," the Hunter came over and poured himself a drink too.

Lin Yue gave a self-deprecating smile, "Don’t make fun of me, Master. You know what’s bothering me."

The Hunter feigned confusion, "Is there really a need to be upset about this? If nothing goes wrong, Sister Hong is thriving, and you’re set to lead a life many would envy."

To that, Lin Yue shook his head, "My parents wouldn’t want me to live a life where I have to fight and kill all the time. If I can’t break away from here, I won’t ever truly be able to return to my family."

"That’s easy to handle. Now that Boss Hong is gone, and Sister Hong is calling the shots, your relationship with her is so good, you could just mention it to her. Maybe she’ll grant you a generous pension for your years of loyalty," the Hunter joked, but Lin Yue was in no mood for jest, "If it were before, I’d have definitely spoken to Sister Hong, but now I don’t dare to..." Lin Yue finished his thought and downed his drink, his face etched with worry.

The Hunter immediately grasped Lin Yue’s dilemma and commented, "You saw how Sister Hong dealt with Boss Hong; that’s why you’re scared."

Lin Yue nodded, "Exactly. Sister Hong is too intimidating now. I can no longer talk to her like I used to. I fear that a careless word might provoke her anger. And with those secretive folks who’ve appeared around her, seemingly with ulterior motives, I dare not mention leaving the gang."

The Hunter’s expression grew grave, "You’re right to decide to stay. Your judgement is correct; those foreigners are not to be trifled with, and nobody can easily free themselves from their manipulation."

Lin Yue felt a chill in his heart, "Master, what are you saying? Do you know about these foreigners?"

"More than know about them, their MO is very reminiscent of Organization X. Each Jian Shen heir has dealt with Organization X, and each heir has met his end at their hands." The Hunter’s face turned to one of rage as he clenched his teeth, "Perhaps it’s fate that led us to blindly join a gang under Organization X’s control, giving us a chance to fight Organization X in another way."

Lin Yue was shocked, "Master, you once mentioned you had a very dangerous enemy; is it Organization X, and those foreigners with Sister Hong—are they from Organization X?"

"What’s the matter, you scared?" the hunter said solemnly as he looked at Lin Yue. Lin Yue composed himself and then firmly shook his head, "Scared, of course I’m scared. But now that I think about it, it might really be destiny. I became your disciple, and I have joined the gang controlled by your enemy. It looks like I can’t extricate myself unless I defeat your enemies." After speaking, Lin Yue raised his glass in a toast.

The hunter smiled, then clinked glasses with Lin Yue. The hunter was becoming more convinced that this arrangement was indeed destiny, encountering the next successor to the Sword God and the enemies he had to take down.

The hunter added, "I’m afraid the people from Organization X will recognize me, so unless it’s necessary, I won’t show up. You try to cover for me as much as possible."

Lin Yue suddenly thought of a question, "Master, you are so powerful, why haven’t you taken down Organization X yet? And you mentioned that every successor to the Sword God has died at the hands of Organization X. Could it be that there is someone in Organization X more powerful than you?"

"Yes, and they’re extremely terrifying, it’s just that I haven’t encountered them yet." After saying this, the hunter’s expression became somber, "Initially, my master was only slightly weaker than I am now, but even he was defeated by Organization X. It was in the last moments that he handed the treasured sword over to me."

Lin Yue seemed to understand, "So, Master, you’ve been wanting to avenge your teacher, and that’s why you’ve been holding off from dealing the Organization X?"

"Not entirely, the main reason is that my family was also destroyed by Organization X," the hunter said, revealing a bitter smile, a flash of hatred in his eyes.

The hunter took a sip of his drink and then turned to leave the bar, but before he walked away, he made sure to remind Lin Yue, "Alright, it’s getting late. You should head back and rest. Don’t forget to practice the Qi-circulating method I taught you before you sleep. Whether you’re willing to continue my legacy and fight to the end with Organization X, wish to break free from them, or want to protect your own family, you need to get stronger quickly. You don’t have a choice—you’re already in the thick of it."

Lin Yue watched the hunter’s silhouette, sensing such desolation. He thought to himself that the other person must have a very touching story.

Lin Yue wasn’t wrong. When the hunter was very young, he had parents who loved him and older brothers and sisters who doted on him, a family that lived happily together.

That was until one day, several vampires burst in and brutally murdered the hunter’s family, feasting on their blood.

The hunter was still young at that time. He witnessed everything and was terrified almost out of his wits. Just as he was about to meet the same fate, a swordsman appeared. With the force of a thunderbolt, the swordsman killed the vampires and saved the hunter’s life.

One might say it was fate. The reason the swordsman had come was entirely the guidance of the treasured sword, which had sensed the hunter. It was just that the swordsman arrived a step too late, and the family was left with only the hunter.

From that moment on, the swordsman took the hunter under his wing, treating him as his own and diligently mentoring him. The hunter, convinced that the swordsman was the most respected person in his life, became his disciple. He followed the swordsman through journeys, cultivated with him, and together they hunted vampires, defending the orthodoxy sects.

But good times didn’t last. The swordsman was defeated, dying from grave injuries. The hunter picked up the treasured sword, quietly remembering this blood debt, and withdrew into the deep forests to cultivate in seclusion.

The previous Sword God’s successor died at the hands of Organization X, this successor’s family was destroyed by vampires, and the next successor is deeply entangled in a gang controlled by Organization X. It seems predestined that the legacy of the Sword God and the struggle with Organization X are to continue.
