To Love You Again

Chapter 747 - A Wool in his eyes

....

Because Ming Zhi Yi could not personally oversee the clan war in the underworld and Ifel Abromich could only remotely supervise from his house, the battle favored the opposing faction.

The opposing faction clearly knew where to attack. They seemed to have a detailed knowledge of Ifel Abromich and Ming Zhi Yi's organizational structure, operation base maps, and deployment methods. There was a certainty of a high ranking spy in their midst, but they just could not find them.

In two months, the relentless battle was finally nearing its end. In many areas around the Middle East and the border countries, many casualties due to the clan war have been recorded over these past two months. Many establishments were ruined and a huge pile of money had been used to smuggle ammunition and repair bases.

When Ifel Abromich saw that he was losing, he finally made up his mind to escape.

For this clan war, he had overused Ming Zhi Yi's organizational manpower and artillery on his own. If they won, they could have amassed a new treasure trove in the acquired turfs. But the problem was, they lost the war.

Because Ifel Abromich had put his men on standby, his group was mostly spared from this fight. It was his selfishness and caution, but it could be said that it was a lucky decision for him.

Who would have thought that the Faceless King and Sir Majid would have such great coordination and became indomitable?

"Also… The global alliance is seriously getting in the way…" Ifel Abromich gritted his teeth.

The clan war naturally aroused global attention. Many national entities dipped their toes to investigate the cause and effect of the conflict, and the governing bodies of the countries in the proximity had long prepared their artillery.

In this clan war, the focal point was clearly the Abromich family.

Therefore, these national entities such as the CIA and FBI had settled their eyes on Ming Zhi Yi's organization after Ifel Abromich used it relentlessly without consideration.

When his anger died down and anxiety kicked in, Ifel Abromich finally realized that he had messed up. Tremendously.

The investigation team found many? proofs of the illegal activities of the Abromich family while Ifel was fighting against the two organizations. While under great pressure and anger, he slipped some clues and traces. Because of such mistakes, the investigation team could now legitimately press charges against him.

"Damn it!" Ifel Abromich swept away everything on the table. "Damn it all!"

He huffed in fury.

He failed! His turf would soon be overwhelmed by the enemies, and the global alliance was coming to get him.

Ifel Abromich's eyes narrowed.

He had to escape now, away from anyone's sight! Then he could slowly gather power again and get vengeance later.

He called his men. "Make preparations, it must be under utmost secrecy…"

Like that, Ifel Abromich secretly made preparations. There were many ways to hide one's identity and traces in the underworld, so he made full use of that.

Before anyone could react, overnight, he escaped and took his money and men away. He decided to lie low for a long while until the global alliance lost their interest in him.

What Ifel Abromich worried about the most was Ming Zhi Yi. Once that man finished his battle with the four families and found out what he had done, the man would not forgive him easily. He might even be kicked out of the alliance.

'But I knew many of Ming Zhi Yi's past activities,' Ifel Abromich thought. 'That man will not kill me just because of this mistake.'

After all, he was still Ifel Abromich. He was confident that Ming Zhi Yi would not kill him easily. He still had many strong men and connections that would be useful for Ming Zhi Yi in the future.

Ifel Abromich could only send a message to Ming Zhi Yi's son, Lu Jin, that he would be gone for a while. He claimed that he would come back once he took care of the matters with the investigation teams who were hot on his tails. Lastly, he said that he would be entrusting all matters in the underworld to Ming Zhi Yi.

Then he patted his ?ss and left.

Ifel Abromich knew that surely, as Ming Zhi Yi was a cautious man, he must have hidden most of his men and resources at another hiding spot, not just in that underworld organization.

Lu Jin looked at the message that Ifel Abromich sent.

His face was expressionless.

"Lu Jin, is there any news from Ifel?" Ming Zhi Yi asked his son while watching the news on the big screen.

He loosened his necktie.

Ming Zhi Yi's expression was not that good.

The fight which he thought would be over soon with his full-proof plan seemed to be taking a long while. Whenever he thought that he had them down, the other party would suddenly jump up and overwhelm him for a while.

Ming Zhi Yi would have to pressure them again on all sides. But no matter how much he weakened the four families and almost stepped down on them, they would always have the ability to overcome his ?ssault.

Especially that Xiong family, they seemed to have been left mostly unscathed.

'It's because that idiot Gunan was too useless! If only he did his job well before dying, then things would have been easier.'

He was clear about the extent of the four families's power. He planned everything perfectly well from the beginning. Right now, these four families should be in their final stages of struggle. But even though their economic strength appeared weaker, they still managed to get out of the situations he threw at them.

It was too unbelievable.

Ming Zhi Yi could not help but feel that the situation was odd.

Meanwhile, Lu Jin put his phone back into his br??st pocket.

"Ifel Abromich messaged me that he will be lying low for a while. The global alliance is on his tail."

Ming Zhi Yi's eyes flashed. His mind was momentarily distracted from the four families.

"He had been lying low for over two months now. I heard that the underworld is chaotic due to him. I even sent my men to ?ssist him. How can he not solve this yet?"

"Would you like me to oversee the matter, father?"

Ming Zhi Yi tapped on the table. After thinking about it, he answered affirmatively.

"Alright. It looks like Ifel cannot handle this matter alone. Make sure that you put those two organizations at their place."

Lu Jin bowed to Ming Zhi Yi.

He did not tell at all that Ifel had already escaped and abandoned Ming Zhi Yi's organization in the fight.

Even if he took over now, what was left of the organization would not be sufficient to push back the two growing enemies.

...

With Lu Jin keeping tabs on the underground matters, Ming Zhi Yi once again put down his attention on the underworld and instead focused on the four families. This held more importance to him than anything else.

Thus, the truth of the matter was hidden away from him.
