The young man's platinum necklace, tangled into a ball, fell to the ground.

A faint trace of blood appeared on the right side of his neck.

With just a little more depth, Bai Yang's blade could have cut through the young man's carotid artery.

Bai Yang's knife was so precise it was as if it had been measured with a ruler, both cruel and accurate.

The struggle for power within the underworld is covert and understated.

Even when it comes to actual fighting, methods like assassination and sniping are mostly used.

Therefore, swordsmen like Bai Yang are the most terrifying powerhouses in the underworld.

Bai Yang's strike was a barefaced threat and killing intent.

The young man instantly went soft; however tough he was, he couldn't be tougher than a knife.

Especially Bai Yang's knife.

Touching the blood on his throat, he smirked viciously.

"Alright, I concede."

The young man, followed by seven or eight hoodlums, knelt before Yang Fei.

Su Yinxue instinctively wanted to escape but was caught by the hand by Yang Fei.

She could only stand still, accepting this ancient ritual of the Mortal World, feeling extremely uncomfortable inside.

The young man kowtowed loudly, "Boss Yang, I have offended you."

"Please show mercy and let us go, won't you?"

Yang Fei nodded, his tone indifferent.

"Changfeng Security Company has just opened, and we have some strict rules, please don't mind."

"I'll apologize to everyone another time."

The young man kowtowing to Yang Fei felt extremely humiliated.

However, when he heard Yang Fei's words, he suddenly felt much better.

In fact, he knew.

If Changfeng Security Company let him go easily today and lost face, it would be like taking a tumble.

The company's future business would also be difficult to expand.

As the saying goes, it takes two to make a quarrel; since Yang Fei had given him enough respect, the young man took the opportunity to step down.

He stood up: "No, we weren't open and honest enough, please forgive us, Brother Fei."

Yang Fei repeatedly said he dared not take credit.

Su Yinxue secretly laughed to herself.

She could see through the tactics of Yang Fei and Li Shun.

These two cunning fellows.

One played the bad cop, the other the good cop, leaving the young man with no options but to obediently comply.

The young man had his subordinates buy fireworks and flowers.

To celebrate the grand opening of Changfeng Security Company.

This kid was also quite shrewd.

Having already bowed his head, he presented Yang Fei with a red envelope containing twenty thousand yuan.

He respectfully offered it to Yang Fei, apologizing for his behavior.

This gesture fully respected Yang Fei, and naturally, Yang Fei returned the favor in kind.

He handed out a one thousand yuan red envelope to the young man and the seven or eight hoodlums, suggesting there were no hard feelings.

All of this, in the eyes of Long Shaoyang, was as magical as Aladdin's lamp.

A group of fierce and threatening men.

Once in the hands of Yang Fei, they immediately became as docile and obedient as little lambs.

What was terrifying was that, once these little lambs decided to clean up their act,

they would instantly turn into vicious and ferocious beasts.

Why is there such a big difference between people?

The proud Long Shaoyang felt so aggrieved he wanted to cry.

He sat alone in a corner, smoking sullenly.

At that moment, Long Shaoyang saw a young man who resembled a black panther walk over.

The guy nonchalantly took Long Shaoyang's pack of Yellow Crane Tower.

He lit one up for himself and took a satisfying puff before finally introducing himself.

"Nice to meet you, Young Master Long, I'm Long Xia, the bodyguard assigned to you by the company,"

"From now on, I'll be taking care of your safety."

```

Looking at this young man filled with an explosive aura, Long Shaoyang felt somewhat daunted.

He dumbly nodded his head.

Long Xia laughed again.

The way he looked at Long Shaoyang was just like a lion eyeing a little white rabbit, very fierce.

"I'm someone with a bit of a temper."

"But please rest assured, Young Master Long, I won't hit people easily, as it can easily lead to fatalities."

He revealed a row of gleaming white teeth and was squeezing something in his hands with a crackling sound.

Long Shaoyang scrutinized it and realized that the guy was toying with a metal can that was beyond recognition.

Though the metal can was thin-skinned, it was still made of metal.

Yet in Long Xia's hands, it was like playdough, easily manipulated.

This level of hand strength nearly scared Young Master Long to the point of wetting himself.

No wonder it was easy for him to cause fatalities with such enormous power.

He stammered out, "No problem, I'm good-tempered."

"Our interactions will definitely be harmonious."

Yang Fei stood by, watching, and couldn't help but let out a snicker.

Although Long Xia was a martial artist with formidable physical abilities, it didn't mean his mind was simple.

In fact, any martial artist who had achieved a level above Dark Force

must certainly be extremely intelligent.

Yang Fei explained his grudge with Long Shaoyang, as well as Su Yinxue, to Long Xia.

He tasked Long Xia with protecting Long Shaoyang, but to gauge the situation carefully.

Simply put, it was to make Long Shaoyang unable to do without Long Xia's protection,

yet also make him revere Long Xia as though he were an ancestor.

This was also a way for Su Yinxue and Yang Fei to vent the frustration in their hearts.

Apparently, Long Xia had caught on to the intent behind Yang Fei's words.

Changfeng Security Company had just been established and had landed two big contracts.

One was for Long Shaoyang, and the other was for Xiao Xuanya, a columnist for "Dark Corner".

This was considered an auspicious start with money rolling in.

Especially Xiao Xuanya's contract, which for the newly opened Changfeng Security Company, had the effect of a sensational advertisement.

News in the Underworld travels fast.

The news of Xiao Xuanya being pursued for a hefty bounty was also spreading rapidly within the circle.

Her arrival in Yannan domestically and her acceptance of Changfeng Security's protection was quickly made known.

As long as Xiao Xuanya remained safe and sound, Changfeng Security's banner could be fully raised.

After all, it was a local force confronting foreign assassins.

Everyone was watching.

Therefore, Yang Fei attached great importance to Xiao Xuanya's security work.

She would be protected by Yang Fei at night, and by day, she would be accompanied by Axiu and Zhao Xia, the female disciples of Old Man Gong, both together.

And the salaries of Long Xia, Axiu, and Zhao Xia were also raised to the level of a monthly salary of three hundred thousand and one hundred thousand yuan respectively.

And that was only the base salary.

Upon the conclusion of a contract, Changfeng Security Company would also share bonuses and commissions with the chief bodyguards, depending on the task's completion and customer satisfaction.

Long Xia, Axiu, and Zhao Xia, all orphans with no opportunity for university,

These three young people could never have dreamed

that following Yang Fei, they could earn so much money in a month.

On another front, Li Shun's watchful roster of adversaries had grown by one more name.

This person was Wang Mazi.

Wang Mazi was an extremely troublesome character.

Li Shun was certain that after his men had suffered a setback at Changfeng Security, Wang Mazi would not let the matter rest, whatever happened.

However, Wang Mazi's reaction was beyond Li Shun's expectations.

Surprisingly, without a word, he silently accepted the situation.

Li Shun felt very uneasy in his heart.

Wang Mazi's style was definitely not to take things lying down.

A few days later, the Shan Province Underground World was shaken once more.

News came that Wang Mazi's car had been in an accident.
