But, the people beneath him paid lip service while secretly harboring greed for this compensation money.

Naturally, this situation occurred.

Forced to kneel nearby, Wood's pupils contracted at the mention of Lando.

Soon.

This place grew livelier.

A moment later, a car arrived.

A person dressed in a white suit got out of the car, followed by seven or eight subordinates, quickly approaching the area. Upon seeing Chen Che, a peculiar emotion flickered in his eyes.

He quickened his pace, cupped his fist toward Chen Che, and said, "Lando greets Master Chen."

Chen Che glanced at Lando, very young with somewhat cold eyes, a ruthless person capable of big deeds.

But in his domain, such people were unnecessary.

"You're Lando."

"Yes."

Pa-da.

A dagger was thrown at Lando's feet, his pupils suddenly contracted. Looking up at Chen Che, he said, "Master Chen, what do you mean by this?"

"For managing the West City District, I'll spare your life. Cut off an arm and get out of the Ninth Special Zone for good. Dare to step foot in here again, I'll make sure you die with no remains."

Lando's face twitched. When he came here, he had mentally prepared himself.

Handling a large sum of compensation money, who wouldn't be tempted?

The money had many uses for him.

Enrich himself, recruit followers.

So, he schemed. For him, as long as he dealt with those families, the probability of this matter being discovered above was very low.

Thus, he acted without hesitation.

Simultaneously, he also thought of another method, using various means to utilize others, such as exploiting people like Wood to act against the families of the deceased heroes.

Or find ways to quietly eliminate these families without anyone noticing.

Afterward, he considered ways to retaliate against people like Wood, shifting the conflict.

This way, he could both take the money and avoid the eyes above.

Moreover, by avenging the families of the heroes, he could earn merit.

Previously under others, Lando was just a small underling. He wasn't content and wanted strength and for others to willingly call him 'Master!'

Hence, he acted without hesitation!

He knew the consequences of his actions.

Now that his superior found out, there would certainly be punishment.

But Lando estimated the worst punishment would only be a demotion or some physical punishment.

He was prepared to show sincerity... cutting off two of his fingers and placing all the blame on his subordinates.

He thought that those above would see his ability.

After all, he managed the entire West City District in an orderly manner.

Currently, the West City District contributes the largest share monthly.

Just for his ability alone, even if he did something wrong, those above couldn't bear to act against him.

But this Chen Che before him completely defied his expectations, not playing by his assumed rules.

Right away demanding he cut off an arm and leave the Ninth Special Zone completely.

How could Lando accept this?

He had just begun to form the embryo of his empire, how could his ambitions be so abruptly ended? How could he be chased out for just taking some money?

Lando, lowering his head, gave no answer, his fingernails dug into his fists, drawing blood.

Chen Che stared at Lando, releasing the pressure, coldly saying, "Not convinced?"

Lando fell to his knees, kowtowing heavily on the ground, thud, thud, thud!

His forehead instantly blossomed with blood.

Lando shouted, "Master Chen, Lando failed to properly supervise his subordinates, Lando should be punished! But please, Master Chen, considering Lando's efforts even if without merit, don't expel Lando from the Ninth Special Zone!

Lando still wishes to serve Master Chen in the Ninth Special Zone! Lando is determined to learn the lesson and manage his subordinates well!

Master Chen! The whole West City District has the highest contributions among all districts, I hope Master Chen will spare Lando considering how well I've managed the West City District!"

Seeing Lando with a full head of blood, Chen Che sneered.

"Such a ruse doesn't work on me. Do you really think I'm an idiot for accomplishing what I have today? You shift all responsibility onto your subordinates so blatantly, thinking you're giving me a way out?"

"You want me to acknowledge your skill and forgive your mistake, just killing a few subordinates to calm my anger?

But I tell you, I won't take your way out.

You can be greedy, I allow my subordinates to have greed, just like your superior Bobby. I know he's taken a lot of money, but I don't mind, as long as you work for me, your greed is your ability.

You're allowed to be greedy, but within the bounds of my tolerance, not exceeding my bottom line, I can accept.

But your actions have completely touched my bottom line.

For fuck's sake, you dare to be greedy for the compensation funds I issued!"

"You're of use to me, you've managed the entire West City District in an orderly fashion, but I'll tell you! The brothers who died, who used their lives to protect mine, in my eyes, cannot be bought with any amount of money.

For fuck's sake, how dare you be greedy for that money? To hell with you!"

Chen Che's anger reached its peak, never had he been so furious.

This was his bottom line, definitely his bottom line.

He kicked Lando's head, sending him flying. Lando fell hard to the ground, yet immediately crawled back to kneel.

He waited for Chen Che to vent, hoping maybe there was a slim chance of survival after his outburst.

Aquiya, Ye Ru, and two children dumbfoundedly watched this scene.

The brothers under him all stared at their Master Chen with determined eyes.

Chen Che exhaled, forced himself to calm down, looking towards the brothers he brought outside, he said, "Ask these brothers, can they accept me letting you go? Can they accept someone who even embezzled their family settlement money?"

Lando only glanced at the looks of the brothers outside and understood everything.

Lando panted heavily, exhaling murky air, blood sliding down his cheeks, making his face look hideous.

Chen Che kicked the dagger in front of him, saying, "Do it yourself."

Lando still hesitated, gritting his teeth with a hideous expression, he said, "Master Chen, really no chance at all?"

"What do you think?"

Lando picked up the dagger, stood up from the ground, but instead of turning it on himself, he held the dagger with malice, glaring at Chen Che.

"Who the hell are you, calling you Master Chen, you really think you're a master? How can you sit in that position, and I can't?"

Chen Che, instead of getting angry, smirked: "That's more like it, don't act if you can't keep it up, such ruse works on no one."
