The cold-blooded subordinates stared wide-eyed at Brahma, their eyes filled with disbelief as if they could hardly believe their ears. One of them asked, "W-what did you say, Boss? Suppress... all of God Ji’s forces?"
"Keep an eye on Red Flame and the Black Market," ordered Brahma as he squinted his eyes. It’ll be too late for Lu Chengzhou to do anything by the time I finish weakening Gu Mang’s forces. Moreover, Jijing Island will help restrain them. With 20% of Red Flame’s territory on Mingyu Island in my hands and enlisting the help of the other mafia forces, that should be enough to deal with Gu Mang. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
From Brahma’s expression, the subordinates knew that he wasn’t joking. They were all stiff with shock, but upon receiving a look from him, they quickly snapped out of it and respectfully answered him with a nod. "Yes."
...
Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang returned to the villa while Lu Yī and the other subordinates parted with them during the journey home to deal with the Black Market affairs.
Currently, only Lu Qi and a few other subordinates were on duty in the living room. They greeted the couple when they came back.
Gu Mang walked over to the coffee table, took a nougat, tore open the packaging, and shoved the nougat into her mouth.
"Hungry?" Lu Chengzhou looked at her.
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows. "A little."
Lu Chengzhou gently said, "What do you want to eat for lunch? I’ll make it for you."
"Sweet and sour fish, boiled meat, and mala prawn." Gu Mang only said three dishes because she was worried that the food would go to waste if she couldn’t finish them.
Spicy food, huh? Lu Chengzhou had heard a thing or two about pregnancy cravings. There was a saying that if an expectant mother craved sour food, their child would be a boy, while spicy food indicated a girl. Thus, his expression became gentle as he looked down at her abdomen with a smile. "Okay. Go have some rest then."
