An hour later, Li Yun had managed to make Tao Ruisi feel comfortable, but unfortunately, this woman's heart was still unmoved.
It seems that his seduction plan had failed.
With Tao Ruisi' personality, threatening or bribing her into betraying Mo Bufan was something he definitely couldn't achieve.
However, that didn't mean he didn't have other cards to play.
"System, is there any pill or technique that would allow me to control someone's mind? Something that would let them retain their own consciousness but also make them loyal to me," Li Yun tried to communicate with the system.
Having the system was his most powerful card.
"Ding! Mental Control Technique, a technique that can control others' minds. The stronger the user's power, the harder it is for the victim to resist. The cost is 100,000 villain points."
"Ding! Soul Summoning Pill, controls others with a pill, cannot control the protagonist or the female lead. The cost is 20,000 villain points."
...
The system listed several pills and techniques, but the cheapest, the [Soul Summoning Pill], cost 20,000 villain points.
Moreover, it was a one-time use and couldn't control the protagonists.
As expected, techniques and pills to control people weren't easy to come by.
Although the 20,000 villain points stung a little, Li Yun knew he would have to make that sacrifice for his plan.
"System, give me a Soul Summoning Pill!"
"Ding! The user has spent 20,000 villain points. The Soul Summoning Pill has been successfully exchanged. The user now has 12,000 villain points."
The [Soul Summoning Pill]?
Li Yun looked at the small pill in his hand. Would the other person really obey him after consuming it?
He still had some doubts.
He had spent a significant amount of points on this, and if it didn't work, he would be devastated. He hoped the system wasn't deceiving him.
"Well, let Tao Ruisi try it."
Li Yun said as he searched for Tao Ruisi.
Without saying much, Li Yun directly offered Tao Ruisi the [Soul Summoning Pill].
"What's this?" Tao Ruisi asked, a little confused.
"Seeing your attitude, swearing that you would never betray that guy Mo Bufan, I don't want to put you in a difficult situation. If you take this, you'll be free."
"Really? That sounds great!"
Tao Ruisi thought that Li Yun was about to give her poison to finish her off.
In fact, she knew she had no chance of escaping, so this "freedom" might, in some way, be a good thing for her.
Without hesitation, Tao Ruisi took the pill Li Yun offered her and swallowed it immediately.
It didn't take long before she collapsed to the ground, and when she regained consciousness, her expression had changed somewhat. Her eyes no longer showed any trace of hatred but instead displayed a slight reverence.
"Tao Ruisi greets the master!" Tao Ruisi said respectfully.
"Ha, ha!"
"No doubt this is the system's doing; it really is a quality item! The [Soul Summoning Pill] is incredible, it really made an enemy become so obedient."
Seeing his work, Li Yun couldn't help but laugh.
Not bad, Tao Ruisi would be the secret weapon he'd use to deal with Mo Bufan.
More specifically, after getting rid of Mo Bufan, she would help him take control of the army of one hundred thousand soldiers.
"Tao Ruisi, go and do something for me right now."
"Master, what would you like?"
"This..."
...
Since the Gu family and others began to help Li Yun with the assault on the Hotel, destroying Mo Bufan's hideout,
as revenge against Mo Bufan, who had been attacking their businesses and pressuring their stocks, they quickly started mobilizing their contacts to pursue him.
"500,000 will be rewarded to those who provide information on Mo Bufan's movements."
"500,000 will be rewarded to those who capture Mo Bufan's subordinates."
"1,000,000 will be rewarded to those who capture Mo Bufan."
The streets and alleys throughout Jinling City, from merchants to thugs, received news from the Gu family and others.
Of course, aside from the rewards, another key reason was the power of the Families in Jinling.
These families had been operating in the city for over a hundred years, and finding Mo Bufan would not be difficult.
In fact, Li Yun already knew where Mo Bufan was.
A conspiracy aimed at Mo Bufan, as well as the other three major families, was beginning to take shape.
One night, Mo Bufan, with his injuries almost healed, decided to take some fresh air with Cheng Tian and Jesse.
Although the situation was very unfavorable for him now, Mo Bufan didn't worry too much.
After all, who was he? The King of the Palace, why would he fear a couple of small families?
If he were abroad, he would have already annihilated them.
Did these guys fear such small families hiding in the shadows?
That wasn't going to happen!
"King, those guys are strange, it looks like they're watching us," Cheng Tian said quickly after a few steps.
He noticed that some people around seemed suspicious, their eyes flashing, and some were pretending to be looking for something, but their eyes kept following Mo Bufan and his two companions.
"I noticed it too. These guys don't have good intentions, they're clearly following us," Jesse said, frowning.
Mo Bufan, of course, also sensed the strangeness of the people around them.
He didn't need to think much to realize that, if it wasn't Li Yun who had sent them, then they must have been sent by the other three major families.
"A bunch of clowns, no need to worry. Later, we'll catch one of them and ask them," Mo Bufan said with a cold smile, ignoring the strangers and continuing his way.
Those guys hadn't realized they had already been spotted, but they continued following them carefully.
Finally, when they followed them into an alley, they suddenly froze.
Where did they go?
Looking at each other, unsure of what to do.
"Are you looking for someone?"
A voice came from behind them. When they turned around, they had no idea when Mo Bufan had appeared right behind them.
"Speak, who are you and why are you following us?" Cheng Tian shouted.
"Who... who's following us? We're just passing by here."
The guys were very scared when they suddenly saw Mo Bufan, hesitating and not knowing what to say.
"Still daring to lie? It seems you don't want to drink from the cup of kindness, huh?" Mo Bufan said mockingly.
"Wh... what do you want to do?"
The guys, terrified, began to retreat.
"What are we going to do? You'll find out soon," Mo Bufan replied with a glance at Cheng Tian and Jesse.
In less than a minute, the guys who had been following them were already lying on the ground, screaming in pain
