Chapter 168 · Volume 1

Secretly Spreading News

Hearing this, the student grew even more panicked, feeling as if the person standing before him wasn't a human at all, but a total madman!
The Li family!
That was the Li family!
The bona fide underground emperors of Huang City!
It was no exaggeration to say that if the Li family so much as stomped their feet, all of Huang City would tremble!
And now, a single transcendent thought he could stand against them?
The student's expression grew even more unsightly as he realized he had almost no room for choice.
Agree, and the Li family would kill him.
Refuse, and he would die today.
The path left for him was obvious, yet he still didn't want to resign himself to fate.
“Why does it have to be me? I'm just a water army leader. I just know a bit about computers.”
“That's the Li family we're talking about. The moment I post anything online, they'll find me the next second.”
“Yes, I admit, I have hundreds of brothers in the water army.”
“But they're just a bunch of internet trolls trying to put food on the table.”
“Is it right to ask them to risk their lives for a little bit of money?”
The submissiveness on his face finally vanished.
At this moment, he finally showed a hint of the charisma belonging to Huang City's top water army leader.
“I chose you because you are the best. That is my reason, and my only reason.”
“Besides, what I need you to do isn't that complicated. I just want you to do your best to spread the word so everyone in Huang City knows exactly what kind of people the Li family are!”
“I don't want people to still think they're a bunch of philanthropists after the Li family is wiped out, understand?”
“Do you have a grudge against the Li family?”
The student couldn't help but ask. Yin Yang didn't answer, simply looking at him as if he were an idiot.
The student almost laughed at his own stupidity.
If someone was planning a total extermination, it obviously wasn't to repay a kindness.
“I'm sorry, but this matter...”
The student thought for a moment, intending to refuse.
After all, if he refused this man, only he would die.
But if he offended the Li family, his entire family might perish.
In the history of Huang City, there were those who had tried to overthrow the Li family, but their ends were all the same.
They vanished!
The student didn't believe Yin Yang would succeed. Even if he was a transcendent, the Eldest Master of the Li family was a Demigod!
A Demigod!
In the eyes of the common people, that was the pinnacle of martial force.
But just as the words were about to leave his mouth, he suddenly jolted awake, recalling Yin Yang's earlier words.
“How do you think I found you?”
‘If he could find me, could he not find my family?’
‘Judging by this guy's appearance and his summons, he's definitely no saint. My whole family would be doomed.’
Thinking of this, the student was nearly driven to tears by the pressure.
Yin Yang then took out a document and handed it to him.
“What is this?”
“You can see for yourself.”
The student opened the file and began to read, his expression growing darker with every page.
It was a chronicle of blood and tears, containing no fewer than two hundred murder cases alone!
But compared to the corruption that followed, those were minor.
The document clearly stated that following the geological disaster ten years ago, Central City had provided subsidies for the people of Huang City!
Not only had those subsidies never reached the people, but the Security Bureau had actually been taxing them instead!
Even more terrifyingly, the people of Huang City had always believed that paying those taxes was normal.
“This... this is impossible.”
“Where did you get this file?”
“I have my channels. As for whether the document is real or fake, you can verify it yourself.”
Yin Yang spoke with absolute confidence because it was indeed true; he had extracted this information from the Eldest Young Master.
Yin Yang snapped his fingers, and the figure of the blade-wielding ghost gradually faded away.
“A family that sucks the blood of the people of Huang City, yet countless citizens still sing their praises.”
“Is this what you want to see?”
The student clenched his fists tightly. Yin Yang leaned forward.
“Some things simply must be done by someone.”
“Where righteousness lies, though I die, I have no regrets.”
Yin Yang's final sentence rang out like a thunderclap. The student suddenly looked up.
“Can you really do it?”
“Of course!”
“How do you want me to cooperate?”
“Do your best to spread this news while ensuring your own safety.”
Hearing this, the student felt the man might not be so bad after all, considering he cared about his safety.
As for where the danger came from in the first place, well, that was best left unasked.
“Let's do it!”
The student pumped his fist.
Yin Yang lightly rubbed the 【Liar-Eater Ring】 and smiled.
“Pleasure doing business with you.”
Through the ring, he could sense that the other party wasn't lying.
Was the student a hot-blooded man of justice?
It wasn't that simple. The main reason he agreed so readily was that he had no other choice.
Yin Yang smiled and stood up.
“I trust you know better than I do how to protect yourself on the internet.”
“Spread it without worry. The Li family won't be around much longer—literally.”
The student took a deep breath after hearing that.
“I'll do my best!”
...
“Go in! Go in!”
“Damn it! Are you saving your ultimate for next year? Or do you think it'll gain value if you hold onto it?”
“You've been 0 and 7 this whole time. What, are you religious? Afraid to take a life?!”
Inside an internet cafe, a young man slammed his keyboard, his face flushed with rage.
He promptly initiated a surrender vote and quit the game, his movements incredibly fluid.
“Damn it, if you don't know how to play, don't play! I get stuck with trolls every single day!”
The youth habitually opened a web browser, intending to find a site to relax.
As soon as it opened, a notification popped up in the bottom right corner.
He had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder and couldn't stand seeing message alerts or red dots on apps.
He clicked the message, but in the next moment, images and text forcibly took over his screen.
Some of the pictures were bloody, others were scandalous, but once he saw the text and specific content, his face turned red with fury.
“The Li family, fuck those bastards to hell!!!”
His voice was so loud that several people around him stood up.
“What the hell is wrong with you? I didn't say anything when you were smashing your mouse and keyboard, but now you're just being obnoxious!”
“Yeah, shut the hell up! What are you screaming for?”
The youth didn't respond, still immersed in his emotions.
The group gathered around. Just as one of them reached out to grab the youth, his peripheral vision caught the images on the desktop.
After just a few glances, his expression became identical to the youth's.
Seeing this, the others curiously looked over as well. Soon, their expressions all synchronized.
“Fuck the Li family!”
One of them couldn't help but shout out.
The noise had already been significant, and now others were joining in.
Humans are inherently curious. More and more people in the internet cafe looked in that direction, and similar scenes were playing out simultaneously in many parts of Huang City.
