Chapter 985


    Sloane was staring at Alvin''s face. When she saw his expression changed, Sloane smiled, "Mr. New


    King, it''s just some woman. For the master of Radiant Ind, killing her is as insignificant as killing


    an insect. Why bother? I want to talk to you about something else."


    Alvin said, "Go ahead."


    Sloane smiled and grabbed Alvin''s arm.


    Alvin subconsciously flinched but then let Sloane take his arm.


    Sloane leaned closer to Alvin and whispered into his ear, "My lord, although you are in charge of


    Radiant Ind, people from the underground world still see your predecessor as the real king. One


    word from him, everything you have will disappear. To put it bluntly, everything you own is handed


    out by him."


    "Handed out?" Alvin clenched his fists tightly, squeezing the words between his teeth.


    Sonal said the same words the night before.


    Sloane suddenly let go of Alvin''s arm and took a step back. Her pulling away made Alvin feel a


    sense of loss.


    Sloane smiled, "My Lord, you must know that your predecessor built Radiant Ind by his bare


    knuckles. The people he killed are more than the people of the organization, and that''s how he got


    his reputation. The underground world is a world that believes in nows. It sees you as to how


    brutal you are. Do you think a mere title of sessor can get you far? Not to mention the old king,


    even the other lords have more authority than you do."


    Alvin didn''t say a word. He had thought about it. All the respect he had got from outside was


    because he was the King of Radiant Ind. Without Radiant Ind, he had nothing. But what about


    the inside of the organization? Did people really take him as the real king?


    When Alvin learned that there were other lords in Radiant Ind, he saw them like needles in his


    eyes.


    Sloane just reminded him of that.


    Sloane continued, "My lord, if I may? I think you can build a reputation for yourself. Once you are


    powerful enough, all the other lords of Radiant Ind have to bow down in front of you. You will still


    be the king even Radiant Ind doesn''t exist anymore."


    A hint of doubt appeared on Alvin’s face, "How?"


    "Easy," Sloane snapped her fingers and said, "The old king got his reputation because of the people


    he has killed. You can do the same."


    "Haha," Alvinughed self-mockingly, "Me?"


    Alvin was referring to his frailer than normal body.


    "And that''s why I wanted to talk to you. Cooperation!" Sloane got close to Alvin again and whispered


    in his ear, "As long as Radiant Ind can help me do three things, I can make you the most


    powerful person. When that dayes, you don''t have to scare anyone anymore, even the old


    king. You can do whatever you want to him, even killing him."


    "Shut your f*cking mouth!" Alvin suddenly roared. He stared at Sloane with anger in his eyes.


    Sloane was shocked by Alvin''s sudden reaction.


    Alvin gritted his teeth and spoke in a voice that only the both of them could hear, "Mr. Zhang made


    me who I am today. Without him, I''m nothing. You want me to betray him? Over my dead body!"


    Alvin turned away and got back into the car.


    The two Reapers got into the car. They drove off.


    Sloane stood there and looked at the taillights of the Rolls-Royce. She took out her cell phone and


    called someone, "He declined. Okay, I understand. Don''t worry."


    In Lin''s vi,


    "Boss, happy new year!"


    "Mrs. Boss, happy new year!"


    A group of people walked into the main hall. The most obvious person among them was the one


    who had a head of red hair. They were Red Hair, Future, Wade, and the rest of the gang.

    "Rob, you look so strong and healthy. Happy with your grandson- in-w? Haha!" Pezeughed out


    loud. He was a little older than Robert.


    Robert smiled and said, "Come on, everyone, please have a seat. The greatest blessing of my life is


    that Henry came to be my grandson-in-w. I''ll be satisfied even if I die now! Haha!"


    "Grandpa, don''t say that!" Sylvia rolled her eyes, "You are as strong as a bull."


    "That''s right, Rob," Peze said, "You will be here to carry your own great-grandson!"


    Peze''s words got everyone''s eyes on Sylvia''s belly. Sylvia''s son would be a baby born with a silver


    spoon in his mouth.


    Other people just knew that Lin''s status in the business world would give Sylvia and Henry''s son a


    head start in his career in business. People who knew Henry''s real identity knew the son would


    represent something huge.


    The King Region had been selecting their rulers by heredity, and they had ruled the underground


    world for hundreds of years. Henry''s son would make the same thing possible for Radiant Ind.


    Being stared at by everyone, Sylvia''s face turned red. She quickly put down the cup of water in her


    hand and ran to the other hall.


    A burst ofughter was heard in the main hall.


    Wade walked to Henry and whispered, "Boss, did you see the news just now?"


    "Yes," Henry nodded.


    Wade said with a worried face, " Alvin killed his ex- girlfriend with his own hands. His personality


    has changed so fast and so drastic. He has be more brutal than you were. I think it''s


    dangerous to let him rule Radiant Ind!"


    Henry smiled slightly, "Wade, what, in your mind, is Radiant Ind? Do you think it''s something that


    represents peace andfort?" "Of course not," Wade answered without thinking, "In the eyes of


    outsiders, Radiant Ind is the real City of Hell. Only we know the real reason for creating Radiant


    Ind."


    "That''s it," Henry said, "I intend to keep Radiant Ind''s reputation as the City of Hell. Alvin has


    indeed changed too drastically, but he isn''t ambitious. So whatever he would do, he can only cause


    that much damage. Let him be. Remember the enemies we are facing. They are not goons. The


    only goal for me is to protect the people on the ind. As for reputation, I don''t mind sacrificing it."


    "But Boss, the fact that Alvin is unambitious is what concerns me. He is reckless and never able to


    see the bigger picture. He is putting himself out there to be a public target for people to use!" Wade


    looked very anxious.


    "No, he won''t be," Henry said confidently, "I believe that he and I are the same kind of people. We


    can be bloated in a short while, but we won''t let people use us. Give him some time. If he hasn''t


    changed then, I''ll make the right choice."
