The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

Chapter 407 Appearances of All Living Beings

the other side.

Yangcheon District, Jinjiadong, Jinjia Building.

The Straw Law Firm was bustling with activity, as it seemed that all the remaining tenants in the building had gathered there.

They were all discussing something with great emotion...

Some of the more hot-tempered individuals were slamming their fists on the table, shouting, "What kind of bastards are these! If they were even human, how could they do something like this..."

But he hadn't finished speaking.

Someone interrupted him impatiently: "What's the point of saying all this? They can't even be considered human beings!"

"Having said that..."

Someone asked with a puzzled look: "But is it now confirmed that those people did not commit suicide, but were all murdered?"

"Yes, Attorneys Hong Che-young and Vincenzo went to the scene in person..."

The answer came from an employee of the Straw Law Firm, who nodded firmly: "Although there's no concrete physical evidence, it's definitely homicide..."

Upon hearing this...

The surrounding chatter grew even louder.

"Damn it! So the Babel Group killed four people overnight? This is absolutely absurd!"

Someone stared wide-eyed, saying with disbelief, "This behavior is tantamount to that of a serial killer!"

Hear the words.

An employee at the Straw Law Firm sighed helplessly, "So what? What's worse is that the police haven't even properly investigated. Attorneys Hong Che-young and Vincenzo have been to the police station, and they're practically closing the case on suicide..."

The voice just fell.

The tenant who had been slamming his fist on the table became even angrier, roaring, "Damn it, this is outrageous! These people must all be punished by law!"

"Legal sanctions? Do you still believe in the law now?"

One person's words were filled with disdain: "If the law were effective, how could the Babel Group have remained so arrogant until now? Back then, lawyer Hong Youchan..."

At this point, as if suddenly realizing something, he immediately stopped talking and his eyes subconsciously glanced towards the corner.

There sat a silent young couple.

It was Hong Cha-young, the representative of this firm, and Vincenzo, the lawyer and consultant for the Italian Mafia.

Following his gaze, everyone in the firm silently turned their attention to them.

Suddenly, the surroundings became strangely quiet.

After a long time...

Perhaps seeing that the young couple didn't react, someone nervously spoke up, "Don't you think we might be the next victim?"

"why?"

All the tenants present immediately focused their attention on him.

The man paused for a moment before saying somewhat awkwardly, "Don't forget, we're currently occupying a prime piece of land that Babel Construction wants to develop, preventing them from building Babel Park..."

"Yes!"

Someone exclaimed with sudden realization, their eyes widening, "Comparatively speaking, we are now also a major threat to the Babel Group..."

Hear this.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, a sense of panic spreading through the air.

"So what should we do? Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"

Someone asked anxiously.

"I think we should unite more closely and fight to the end! I refuse to believe that the Babel Group is really so lawless!"

Some spoke passionately, while others poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "The fact is, the Babel Group is just that lawless; they've even started killing people..."

That's precisely why we can't back down!

"You make it sound so easy..."

"..."

The two of them started arguing back and forth.

The other tenants present also joined in, seemingly to bolster their courage.

After a while...

They were probably just tired of arguing.

The group then turned their attention back to the young couple in the corner.

Anyway...

These two young lawyers are the real backbone of the group.

The two remained silent.

Especially Hong Che-ying...

Silently, tears streamed down her face...

At this moment, she...

My heart is filled with guilt and regret!

I am clearly a lawyer.

Why can't we uphold our principles and use the law to seek justice for everyone?

Even if the effect might be slower and take longer, it's still better than the current situation, right?

I truly regret what I did!

I can only blame myself for being blinded by my father's death and carelessly listening to Vincenzo's advice to incite and lead the families of the victims to burn down the pharmaceutical warehouse.

Are you okay now?

Those rash and radical actions back then...

This not only resulted in the deaths and injuries of so many innocent employees of pharmaceutical companies, but also provoked even more aggressive retaliation from the Babel Group!

This revenge...

It's so cruel!

And yet, they were so unscrupulous!

In just a few days...

The family members of the victims who followed her and Vincenzo in setting the fire have all died by "suicide".

And she...

They can't even help them seek justice!

Just as she was sinking into deep self-doubt, Vincenzo across from her sighed softly and comforted her, "Attorney Hong Che-young, put aside your guilt. It's all the Babel Group's fault. Now is not the time for self-pity..."

"I want to let go, but I'm a human being, a person with feelings. How can I just let go like that?"

Hong Che-young spoke with a slight sob in her voice.

"I know, but I want you to understand one thing..."

Vincenzo looked into her eyes, his tone certain: "We don't need to regret taking them to burn down Barbie Pharmaceuticals' warehouse, because we all know that it was their own choice, what they wanted, and what brought them comfort!"

Moreover, crying won't solve anything. What we need to do now is not wallow in self-pity, but rather pull ourselves together and launch a more intense counterattack against the Babel Group!

"Fight back?"

Hong Cheying gave a self-deprecating laugh, her words laced with sarcasm: "What else do you want to do in retaliation? With us?"

She wanted to be comforted.

But the man's words were too empty and had no effect whatsoever.

"Don't underestimate yourself, and don't underestimate me!"

Vincenzo leaned closer, his gaze sharp: "Don't forget my background. To those Mafia families in Italy, what is the Babel Group?"

Along the way, all the people I've fought against have been villains. In our world, it's a matter of life and death!

so...

I assure you, I will make the Babel Group pay the price. This has nothing to do with justice for me; it's a matter of principle I've always upheld!

After a pause.

He tilted his head back, his eyes radiating confidence, and said in a firm and powerful voice, "I want to see if they can withstand the wrath of Vincenzo Cassano!"
