Chapter 659 659: Aftermath
Those little experts who had dreams of hitting it big, and making a splash with their newly found systems, and newly gotten power certainly believed the great act.
After all, the sheep mentality wasn't something that could be changed in a day. All these guys, despite having newfound power and opportunities were still the same sheep following those in charge.
Even for the rare ones that did understand what was going on, they still didn't have another choice but to accept this shitshow as real.
Everything had played out so well, everything had gone so smoothly that Patriarch Cao had not only fully established himself as the new Leader and hope of the United Front, but had also gotten rid of the competition.
The only one who might have been capable of changing public opinion was his grandson-in-law, the previous leader of the Front, but he was now doomed.
Forgetting the fact that he was already crippled by Patriarch Cao, he still had an upcoming trial and punishment waiting for him.
It would be really stupid for Patriarch Cao if he didn't take the decision correctly and left any roots if he could be called even that.
With these thoughts in mind, all the people from the United Front seemed to have already accepted their fate, and new future.
At least they got something out of this by becoming the people of the Cao Family, which was one of the hegemons of the country.
Even though the other big families were still standing it was still doubtful if they would be able to oppose the current United Front and Cao Family.
After his dramatic performance, the old fox weakly with the help of his people started walking towards his place to have a rest and recover from his wounds.
At that moment he looked to be in tatters, not only was he covered in blood but there were also charrs all over his body.
The fire from the explosion seemed to have gotten even under his skin, but that was something that didn't seem to matter just now.
The self-explosion of Patriarch Ling was sure to attract a lot of unwanted attention, and he had to make sure that nothing untoward happened now.
Still, while he was walking towards the Ling Family Mansion that had now become his property he didn't forget to give instructions to his people, and the United Front members.
While Patriarch Cao was being sent to the main room to rest, one of his aides came forward and said in a loud voice,
"The Great Elder is really thankful towards all of you for the great and painstaking sacrifice that all of you, and those who gave their life have provided today.
Each and every one of you is a warrior, a lion that he trusts!
He is assured that it won't be long in the future when our United Front unifies the whole world and provides a new life and a new way of living for Earth!
But of course, that is a dream for the future, as right now he is just happy with your great performance, and wants to reward you with whatever your heart desires.
Before he personally starts distributing rewards and gifts to you, he has given his permission and orders that you are free to do whatever you wish with the Ling Family 'goods'!
Have a great time!"
'Long Live Great Elder!'
'Long Live United Front!'
'Great Elder the New Leader!'
'Long Live the New Leader!'
The moment that the words of Patriarch Cao's aide finished the crowd went into an uproar as they started praising their new Leader.
No one knew who started it, but soon it became a common belief that Patriarch Cao was the only one worthy of becoming the new Leader of the United Front.
At that moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten that Patriarch Cao was by no means different from what they had sworn to fight against and put an end to.
In front of immediate benefits and long term gains that would bring suffering at the moment, it was a no-brainer for what these guys would choose.
This situation didn't last long though, because in less than a minute after their cheering and screaming, each and every one of the live 'experts' ran towards the Ling Family Mansion.
Of course, that was only for the guys that were able to run and move at the time. After a tiring, painful, and calamitous battle that they had managed to survive it was time to get their rewards.
Everyone understood perfectly what the words of Patriarch Cao meant, they were able to plunder, rob, burn, and rape as they wished.
In order to make sure that they managed to escape the Ling Family escapees could only take with them a part of their families.
Most of the women of the Ling Family and most of their possessions were still left behind at the Mansion, left at the whims of fate and destiny.
It was at this moment that someone could finally understand the beast hidden within any human, as despite living through technology and education, all these men acted like they were in medieval times.
In a matter of moments, screams, cries, hurls, and pleadings of pain, despair, suffering, and torture started covering and conquering the whole place.
…
From inside the Ling Family Mansion, or to be more precise from Patriarch Ling's room, Patriarch Cao was looking at everything outside with a gaze of disdain and superiority.
To him, all the sheep below that were ready to sacrifice their lives for him were nothing more than that.
They were his sacrificial pawns!
Ants that he would use to gather more ants that would then die for his Cao Family. He would be able to throw them out to fight for his Cao Family while he and his people enjoyed everything from the side.
Just like he did with his dogs, as long as he threw them some meat and some bones time after time they would be loyal and subservient to him.
They would do whatever he asked of them!
It was finally the time for his Cao Family to rise and shine, rule the country, and why not extend their claws and wings towards the whole continent and then the whole planet!
How nice it would be to create their own Dynasty!
With these thoughts in mind, he once again threw a look at the people outside, praising their usefulness but condemning their stupidity and actions.
These kinds of people were the best to use in order to conquer and pillage, but the lowest bunch to create the society with.
Once they had filled their duty and stopped being useful to him, he would surely exterminate them all.
With those thoughts in mind, he turned around and walked away from the window towards the bed.
Four beauties were lying in there, two of them seemed to be only slightly older than 18 or even around that age, the third one was just like a bloomed rose, while the fourth was just like an ongoing beautiful orchid.
Even though their ages were different, each and every one of the four was a beauty in and of itself, beauties that would make even the old fox unable to hold back.
Looking at their faces with complicated expressions, Patriarch Cao said in a low disgusting, and threatening voice,
"Hehehehhe~! I guess you understand the situation, right!??"
