Chapter 52: The Enchantress Ding Yao

Soon, the new year arrived. Unconsciously, Wang Kun had already spent half a year in the Swallowed Star world. Of course, counting the time he had experienced in various copy worlds, he had already lived several decades. Calculated purely by cultivation time, he had trained longer than even the mighty figures of the Great Nirvana Period such as Hong and Thor.

Yet in terms of strength, Wang Kun was still far from being on par with Hong or Thor. Hong, in particular, was simply outrageous—already possessing a domain at only the star-level. Against such a monstrous talent, Wang Kun’s current inferiority was entirely natural.

Of course, with his ability to teleport, even if Wang Kun was no match for Hong, escaping would be a simple matter. Teleportation was a skill reserved for only the most powerful among the king-ranked immortals. Even if the distance he could teleport was not yet vast, Wang Kun had noticed that as his foundational strength increased, so too did his teleportation range, multiplying exponentially. In no time, traversing the entire Earth would be but a thought to instantly arrive anywhere.

On January 16, 2057, in his villa in the Bright Moon Community, Wang Kun once again opened a new copy world.

Hong Kong Island, Causeway Bay. On the bustling streets, Wang Kun appeared out of thin air.

"Young and Dangerous?"

Sensing the information flooding his mind, Wang Kun quickly understood what kind of copy world this was. The setting was once again Hong Kong Island, and it belonged to the world of the Young and Dangerous series.

Moments later, Wang Kun arrived at a secluded spot and summoned several of his beautiful, deadly subordinates.

"Go investigate the current triad situation on Hong Kong Island, and focus on a man named Chan Ho Nam from Hung Hing."

"Yes, Master."

His beautiful subordinates were all former assassins. Among them, Xia Tian and Zhang Yijun were exceptionally familiar with Hong Kong. Given their current strength, investigating these triads was a trivial task. If they so wished, they could behead every leader in one night.

A few hours later, Wang Kun received a fairly detailed report.

"Chan Ho Nam is already the top dog of Causeway Bay, and Chicken has fled to Wan Island. That means the plot should now be at Young and Dangerous 2."

After clarifying the timeline, Wang Kun immediately had a plan. Since his goal was to throw the plot into chaos, the direct way was to simply take over.

He now had four capable beauties as subordinates, each unrivaled and invincible in this world. All of them were assassins by training—the perfect candidates to wreak havoc among the triads.

Wang Kun also recalled the Young and Dangerous series featured a femme fatale villainess, renowned for her venomous cunning. She would make an excellent addition as a death servant.

To Wang Kun, his favorite thing about these copy worlds was recruiting female villains with evil attributes. For such people, one death servant card would turn a wicked antagonist into a loyal, obedient servant.

"Yijun, head to Wan Island and find a woman named Ding Yao in the Triad Society. Xia Tian, you, Haiyao, and Kaixin start from the triads on Hong Kong Island. I want you to consolidate all the gangs here under your command as quickly as possible."

"Yes, Master!"

Wang Kun had no interest in personally managing these gangs. Let his female subordinates take the spotlight while he remained hidden in the shadows—that was the true way.

Receiving their orders, Zhang Yijun, already a planetary-level powerhouse, immediately set out for Wan Island. Meanwhile, Xia Tian, Haiyao, and Kaixin began their operations.

At the headquarters of the East Star, a beautiful woman suddenly burst in.

"Hey! Beauty, what do you think you’re doing?" An East Star lieutenant leered at Haiyao as she entered.

Before he could finish, Haiyao transformed into a killing machine. In the blink of an eye, dozens of East Star’s core enforcers were dead, their bodies strewn across the room.

"Don’t kill me!" The sole survivor begged for his life, trembling.

To him now, Haiyao was no longer a beauty but a merciless female demon.

"I ask, you answer."

"Yes, yes!" The East Star lieutenant hastened to comply.

At the same time, similar scenes unfolded inside Hung Hing. In a single day, countless leaders, big and small, across several major gangs on Hong Kong Island were killed or wounded.

These so-called Young and Dangerous gangsters, when faced with the merciless female reapers who killed and recruited at will, became meek as chicks. Anyone who dared utter a word of dissent had already been slaughtered.

The next morning, Zhang Yijun sent word to Wang Kun from afar on Wan Island.

"Master, I’ve found the target."

"Good. I’ll be right there." Receiving the message in his hotel, Wang Kun teleported twice to Zhang Yijun’s side.

Zhang Yijun was hidden within the garden of a villa. Not far away, Ding Yao, clad in a kimono, walked in the courtyard.

As soon as Wang Kun arrived, his system’s death servant card reacted instantly.

"It seems this woman has committed quite a few evil deeds."

Since Ding Yao fit the criteria, Wang Kun wasted no time and immediately activated a death servant card.

In an instant, an invisible force surged from Wang Kun toward Ding Yao. She abruptly turned, her face filled with reverence.

"Ding Yao greets Master."

Wang Kun appeared at her side in a flash and said calmly, "Don’t wear such ugly clothes anymore. Your task is to secure your position as the Triad Society’s leader. Yijun will assist you from the shadows."

"Yes, Master!"

Wang Kun nodded and teleported back to Hong Kong Island.

Now that Ding Yao had become his death servant, she could contact him anytime if needed. With Zhang Yijun’s secret assistance, securing the Triad Society’s leadership would be a breeze.

Ding Yao was a woman of action. After Wang Kun left, she accelerated her original plan.

Her goal in approaching Chicken was to make him the scapegoat for killing Thunder Lord. She had plotted for a year, and only the final step remained. If not for Wang Kun’s intervention, she would have set up Chicken and Chan Ho Nam as scapegoats within a month or two.

But now, she could not wait so long.

She immediately contacted Zhang Yijun in secret, asking for help to complete the mission.

That night, at the Triad Society leader Thunder Lord’s residence, Chicken arrived as invited.

He had barely stepped inside when he saw Thunder Lord and his trusted followers lying dead in the villa’s hall.

"Thunder Lord!"

As Chicken cried out in shock, several armed men burst in from outside.

These were loyal followers Ding Yao had cultivated over the years.

"Zhao Shanhe, you actually killed Thunder Lord! Seize him!" Ding Yao’s men rushed forward, and in no time Chicken was beaten and pinned to the ground, bruised and battered.

"Ding Yao, you’re framing me!" Even a fool would now understand what was happening.

He never imagined that the woman who had been flirting with him was so vicious—killing Thunder Lord and pinning the blame on him.

Ignoring his outcry, Ding Yao stepped forward coldly, her sharp heel stomping down hard. Drawing a dagger, she finished Chicken off with a single thrust.

Ding Yao was indeed ruthless, but now she only killed the wicked.

Chicken, a notorious Young and Dangerous gangster, had fled to Wan Island after committing murder in Hong Kong. He had risen quickly within the Triad Society by being cruel, killing Thunder Lord’s rivals and earning Thunder Lord’s trust to become a hall master.

An hour later, news spread through the Triad Society: Chicken had killed Thunder Lord but was caught and executed on the spot by Ding Yao.

The Triad Society was the largest gang on Wan Island, boasting more members than even Hung Hing on Hong Kong Island. Their territory was also much larger, given Wan Island’s greater size and population.

In the following days, after a major reshuffling of the underworld on both islands, Wan Island’s criminal world became a one-voice domain under the Triad Society, and naturally, only one person gave the orders within the Society.

On Hong Kong Island, the multitude of gangs dwindled until only East Star and Hung Hing remained.

The bosses of these two gangs were Qin Longhu of the original East Star Five Tigers and Sister Thirteen of Hung Hing. Of course, both were only figureheads, following the commands of Haiyao and Kaixin, the true big sisters in charge.

Xia Tian, meanwhile, stayed hidden in the shadows.

Causeway Bay—a certain street. Chan Ho Nam, recently expelled from Hung Hing, walked dejectedly along the road.

Suddenly, over a dozen machete-wielding thugs charged at him from afar.

"Chan Ho Nam, you loser! Kill him!"

Chan Ho Nam was chased through the streets by the mob, only escaping when police patrols arrived. After the pursuit, though he survived, he was badly injured with several cuts—one slash even severed his manhood.

At Hung Hing headquarters:

"Big Sister, the task is done."

"Mm, understood. Go about your business. Don’t bother me in the future unless it’s urgent." Kaixin, who was cultivating, replied casually to Sister Thirteen.

"Yes, Big Sister!"

Sister Thirteen was the only remaining hall master of Hung Hing. The others, too slow to react, had all been dispatched by Kaixin.

For Hung Hing, losing hall masters was no problem—just replace them with obedient ones. Anyone who dared to refuse would be eliminated and replaced again.

In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and stratagems become worthless.
