As if sensing Axiang's suspicions, Li Yun changed the subject and said, "How is the offensive against the Gu family going? How far have we progressed?"
"Don't worry, sir. In the city of Jinling, there are no longer any companies that dare to collaborate with the Gu family. If you give the order, we can cut them off completely and eliminate the Gu family altogether."
"There's no rush. We can wait a bit longer. Let them become desperate before proceeding. Have you made progress on the other tasks?"
"By the way, what have you found out about the Heiyu Bar?" Li Yun continued to ask.
According to his recollection, the Heiyu Bar belonged to two subordinates of Mo Bufan from the Supreme Palace; it was a strategic point for the Palace in Jinling. Now that he knew the plot, Li Yun was not going to let this opportunity pass.
This time, he would not only confront the Gu family but also eliminate all of Mo Bufan's influence. He could not allow the Heiyu Bar or Mo Bufan's men to continue operating.
Once he dealt with all those forces, he wanted to see how Mo Bufan, that toothless tiger, would try to bite him.
"According to our investigation, the owner of the Heiyu Bar is named Du Fei, and it seems he is a member of the Supreme Palace, although we need to verify more details," Axiang replied somewhat uncertainly.
The time Li Yun had given him was very short, and he still didn't have all the information.
"I want to obtain all the information about the Heiyu Bar by tomorrow morning."
"Understood!"
After sending Axiang to investigate, Li Yun stopped worrying. Today's events had been very intense, and although he had temporarily accepted his identity, many things remained unclear.
"Ding. Due to the host's actions, the Gu family has experienced problems. The host has stolen 20 luck points from the protagonist Mo Bufan and has gained 2000 villain points."
"The host now has 120 luck points and 8000 villain points."
Upon arriving in his dorm room, Li Yun received a notification from the system.
He understood that villain points could be used to exchange for items in the store. On the other hand, luck points increased the chances of obtaining abilities or items from the protagonist, like defeating a boss and acquiring equipment.
Li Yun carefully reviewed the system.
The greatest advantage of this system was that it imposed no main missions or absurd conditions, like eliminating him if he did not meet an objective. Li Yun hated that type of system because he feared becoming a mere pawn. Fortunately, the supreme villain system had no such restrictions.

[According to the system, levels are divided into four major stages:]

each with four sub-levels:

--------------------------------
The skills, in turn, are classified into five levels:
Beginner,

Supreme Level.
------------------------
Currently, Mo Bufan had not reached the Transformation Realm; at most, he was at the maximum level of the Darkness Realm.
Since he was at the initial stage of the Transformation Realm and had the Grand Combat Expert technique (Supreme Level), although he was not invincible, facing Mo Bufan would not be a problem.
Moreover, the city of Jinling was his territory, a place he had worked hard for decades, so confronting an outsider would not be difficult.
However, Li Yun did not let his guard down. Even a lion uses all its strength when hunting a rabbit, especially when facing Mo Bufan, the protagonist.
Next, Li Yun checked the villain points store.
The store offered everything: from everyday items to cars and even skills. However, many items were locked. Li Yun did not need anything at the moment, so he closed the store.
"Ding, ding, ding..."
Just as he was about to sleep, his phone rang.
Without thinking too much, he answered immediately: "Who is this?"
"Hello, is this Mr. Li Yun?" A respectful male voice could be heard.
"Yes, it's me. And who are you?"
"Hello, I am Gu Yunxiao."
Gu Yunxiao?
Hearing the name, Li Yun blanked for a moment. But soon he remembered who he was.
He was the father of the protagonist, Gu Yanran.
He had just launched his offensive against the Gu family, so if he was calling now, it must be for…
There was no need to think too much; Li Yun had already deduced it. Smiling, he said, "So it's President Gu. Why are you calling me so late?"
"Mr. Li, I wouldn't dare to disturb you, but I am reaching out to apologize for the incident involving your son. The Gu family is willing to cover the medical expenses and compensation for the problems; we only ask that you show mercy and perhaps forgive us."
"Oh, is that why? Don't worry, I went to the hospital to see my son. It's nothing serious; they just broke both his legs. After about six months in the hospital, he will recover. As for the medical expenses, the Li family has no problem covering them. There's no need for Mr. Gu to be so considerate."
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
"Mr. Li, I... I..."
Gu Yunxiao tried to say something more, but Li Yun had already hung up.
After hanging up, Li Yun smirked coldly instead of getting angry.
Did they think they could resolve this with an apology and compensation after hurting his son?
It wasn't even Mo Bufan as the protagonist. No powerful family would let something like this slide.
Li Yun was not thinking at all about Gu Yunxiao and prepared to sleep peacefully.
Gu Yunxiao and his daughter, Gu Yanran, would spend the night sleepless, as the Gu family was in grave crisis, and both were desperate to find a solution.
And the real storm was yet to come. With the cancellations of contracts from major companies, everyone could see the imminent crisis of the Gu family.
For their own interest, all companies and allied forces began to distance themselves from them. In the company, the tension was palpable, with people increasingly restless and scared.
