Chapter 5: Regaining Control of the Azure Flame

Embracing the young girl, I entered the lobby, ignoring the busy staff around me, and headed straight for the elevator. A few receptionists hurried to catch up with me, saying, "Sir, may I ask who you are looking for? Please register first, if you don't mind. If you are looking for someone from our headquarters, we can assist you in contacting them." I glanced at her and replied, "I don't need to register to be here." Nearby, several security guards quickly formed a surrounding circle, cautiously watching me.

I murmured, "It's not surprising; more than 20 cities nearby are like this." The little girl widened her eyes and exclaimed, "More than 20 cities are like this? Doesn't that mean the industry is monopolized? It must be a mafia company." I smiled; the little girl really hit the nail on the head. The driver, feeling unconvinced, retorted, "Young lady, don't say that Qinghuo is a mafia. They are the largest group company in the southwestern region of our country and are legitimate businessmen. Their annual profit is at least over 300 billion RMB." The little girl calculated and said, "That's about 40 billion US dollars."

I instructed: "Find the best and most reliable jewelry processing service to reshape this diamond and recut it. I will give it to Andy as a gift for his 17th birthday." Andy cheered and jumped onto the desk, his weight causing my chair beneath to emit a sound of distress, and with a "crack," it broke. Standing up while holding the little girl, I cursed, "Damn it, which bastard chose this kind of junk?"

No one would doubt that I am the mastermind behind Hell Fire, a person who indulges in debauchery around the world, and a mercenary company known for its ruthlessness, which is completely unrelated. My formal instructions to Paul and the others are sent simultaneously using 10 email accounts to 10 different addresses. Paul and his team receive these messages at around 20 frequently changing IP addresses, and no single IP address ever corresponds to more than 3 mailboxes. All instructions are dispersed among those 10 emails, which can be combined in a special way. The 10 emails consist of advertisements, pornographic content, and other junk information. Even though the United States and the United Kingdom have the largest surveillance networks in the world, they are still unable to intercept them.

The new headquarters of Qinghuo, damn it, Chang Lian and the others have done quite well. The new headquarters stands nearly 300 meters tall, with a single floor covering an area of over 100,000 square meters. After lightly adjusting my clothes, I pulled the young girl out of the car, tossed the driver 1,000 yuan, and said: "The luggage is in your car; someone will come to pick it up later, please wait a moment." The driver nodded eagerly.

I let out a cold laugh and continued to invite everyone to drink. Tian Ge made a questioning gesture with his eyes, and I nodded.

I absolutely do not believe in the notion that issuing commands through a single email is completely secure. No matter how many servers you change, as long as your commands are contained within the same email, U.S. retrieval agencies can crack it on the spot. Dispersed and chaotic information can be recombined; although it is exceedingly troublesome, it is secure.

The six guys were stunned for a long time, foolishly staring for a full minute. I smirked and said, "Damn it, after more than 2 years, you don't recognize me anymore? Although I've become a bit more handsome recently, it shouldn't be like this, right?"

Among the 13 individuals, Paul, who was the most astute and possessed the strongest organizational management skills, became the leader of my 13 "Gates of Hell" chiefs. I arranged for them to establish the largest mercenary company in the world in Africa, providing them with a mere initial capital of 100 million USD. Remarkably, within a year, they had grown to a force of 30,000 personnel, which has now reached 100,000.

The madman waved away the receptionist and the nearby security guards. I introduced the young girl and directly asked them, "What were you grumbling about just now?" Blood Wolf shouted, "Damn it, boss, the big brothers from the companies we previously merged with said that you haven't been back for almost 3 years, pressuring Tian Ge and the others to make a statement, letting the big brothers vote for a new boss. It's been almost 3 months of arguing. Damn it, Tian Ge and the others said that even if you don't come back for 100 years, as long as you haven't washed your hands, you are still the boss of Qing Huo. They are using their numbers to push for a fair election to take over our company."

The driver, feeling chatty, disregarded the rule against talking while driving and cheerfully said: "Qinghuo is indeed strange; everything is discussed by a few executives together. It is said that there used to be a top executive, but later, no one knows where he went. Alas"

In the span of 2 years, the changes in the city have been significant, becoming more modern and prosperous than before. The number of high-rise buildings has at least doubled.

I patted her on the head: "It's different from American companies. To give a simple example, in China, a roll of the best virgin pulp toilet paper costs about 7 yuan. In the United States, the best costs 15 dollars. You tell me, can over 300 billion yuan compare with 40 billion dollars?" The little girl calculated for a long time, stuck out her tongue, and dared not say a word. You tell me, can over 300 billion yuan compare with 40 billion dollars?" The little girl calculated for a long time, stuck out her tongue, and dared not say a word

The long-faced man, inebriated, asked: "Boss, you can't really be thinking of giving them back the items just because they paid 1.5 billion, can you?" I laughed and scolded him: "Damn it, that diamond has already started to be recut; what do you expect me to return to them? Hehe, these things are merely bait. Just wait and see the show unfold."

I chuckled coldly: "What a lively scene. So lively. Hmm, it's my first day back and I encounter such a lively event."

I smiled as I embraced the little girl, gently placing her on my lap, and passionately kissed her rosy little lips

Everyone present was stunned, and the monkey stammered, "Boss, wasn't that diamond stolen?" I smirked and replied, "Yes, it was stolen, but unfortunately, the thief was one of my subordinates. Of course, it is now in my possession. So, what do you think? Is it beautiful?" Everyone nodded vigorously, and the little girl seemed completely mesmerized. I sighed and shook my head, thinking, damn it, girls, regardless of their appearance, have no resistance to such things.

Hai Ge, bewildered, asked, "Boss, what company is Hell Fire?" I grinned and replied, "Did I really spend 2 years just traveling around? Damn it, I set up a mercenary company in Africa, and now I have a full 100,000 mercenaries. Hehe, they are all retired special forces from various countries. Damn it, let's transfer 500 over to properly train our little brothers. Hmm, also, I have a few more plans that I will slowly share with you. Damn it, let's transfer 500 over to properly train our little brothers. Hmm, also, I have a few more plans that I will slowly share with you. Hehe..." As I spoke, I pulled out the world's most famous diamond from my pocket.

The more than 30 young subordinates lined up in a square formation, bowing respectfully, and called out, "Boss." I nodded and asked, "Are these the newly promoted ones?" The monkey quickly replied, "Yes, they are all quite good." I responded with a sound of acknowledgment, "My luggage is outside in the taxi, please bring it up for me." Five young subordinates quickly ran out.

In my plan, Paul and the others should quickly store the items in my secret location in France, and then lead the British agents in circles. I estimate that the British royal family should be prepared to pay, but the proud British agents would never admit to such a failure, and the British government would certainly not lower its dignity to compromise with "terrorists"

In the evening, my brothers were hosting a welcome dinner for me. In the private room of Tianfu, we were enjoying our drinks when the news on television brought another piece of good news: "The British Museum was robbed last night, resulting in a loss... The thief is extorting 500 million US dollars from the British government. This is yet another significant theft and extortion incident against the British government following the theft of the royal scepter, a symbol of the British monarchy. The British government has tasked relevant national agencies to conduct an investigation." This is yet another significant theft and extortion incident against the British government following the theft of the royal scepter, a symbol of the British monarchy. The British government has tasked relevant national agencies to conduct an investigation.

Tian Ge, Hai Ge, Chang Lian, and Bai Yan Hu quickly surrounded me, giving me a tight embrace. Without saying a word, I drew Chang Lian's pistol and shot off the head of the loudest guy outside. Those older brothers who had come to our side all went weak in the knees, trembling and collapsing to the ground

Six individuals rushed over without a word, lined up, bowed at a 90-degree angle, their eyes red, and called out: "Boss"

In a span of 2 and a half years, Hell Fire secretly controlled a quarter of Africa's poorest and most chaotic regions, which are also the richest in minerals. I have also toyed with MI6 for over 2 years, likely wasting at least 20 million of their budget. Subsequently, after encountering a young girl, my intention to continue traveling came to an end, prompting me to advance my operation in Venice and return to Qinghuo.

I let out a cold laugh, almost startling the little girl who had just walked out. ... Thinking back to when I had just arrived in London, the next day I was strolling around surrounded by at least 7 sniper rifles, it was truly exhilarating

With a long face full of grievance: "Boss, you said before that this chair is the most comfortable, so after the new building was renovated, I arranged for this chair to be here... It’s something you’ve used for 5 or 6 years, so of course it’s a bit old." I was left speechless, not knowing what to say.

I nodded in satisfaction; both the front desk staff and the security personnel displayed commendable qualities. This group of individuals performed well.

The world has become peaceful. The little girl quickly wrapped herself around me: "Wow, you really are the boss of the underworld, huh? That's so intense! Can you take me to see how people are encased in concrete pillars?" The long-faced men nearby and all the little brothers present nearly dropped their jaws to the floor. I smiled with satisfaction: "So, what do you think? My little girl is adorable, right? Isn't she unique?" A few of the older brothers nodded in confusion, desperately saying: "Yes, yes, yes..."

I said lightly, "I know them; I am acquainted with all those general managers." The young girl rolled her eyes and replied, "Aren't they too arrogant? Almost all the profitable ones we saw along the way are from Qinghuo. Hmm, there isn't a single one from McDonald's. How strange."

I chuckled ominously. "Long face, eliminate these worthless big brothers, and their families should all be encased in concrete pillars. Their trusted subordinates should all be given a sky lantern." At that moment, our direct subordinates from Qinghuo rushed in, numbering 300. A few of the defecting big brothers screamed, "Boss, we were wrong, spare us!" Andy widened his eyes, watching this scene with great interest. Five subordinates were fiercely beating one big brother. Suddenly, I remembered, "Right, their bank accounts, transfer all the money to the company account without leaving a single cent." Brother Tian quickly responded affirmatively and started calling to contact the bank connections. A few of the defecting big brothers screamed, "Boss, we were wrong, spare us!"

I gently asked, "You moved here in the last 2 years, didn't you?" The driver nodded, "Sir, how do you know this?" I smiled lightly and replied, "If you had been in this city all along, you couldn't possibly not know me. I am the former largest boss of Qinghuo, and I still am." The driver was left speechless, his mouth agape for a long time. The young girl stared at me with wide eyes, as if she were looking at an alien, fixating on me for quite a while. I am the former largest boss of Qinghuo, and I still am. The driver was left speechless, his mouth agape for a long time.

After considering all the steps, there was no mistake at any point, except for the last moment when I played around with that girl on the way back to the country from Canada. Well, it seems the funds have been completely exhausted, and their leader has begun to withdraw the troops.

Returning to the top-level residence of the headquarters, I said to the young girl: "No matter what you do, do not leave me more than 5 meters away. This way, I can ensure your safety. If you go beyond 300 meters and are out of my sight, I cannot guarantee it." The young girl asked curiously: "Why? Does someone want to kill you?" I shook my head: "They want to kill me, but they lack the courage. If I were to die, the impact would be too severe. However, they could take revenge on me by killing you. Does someone want to kill you?" I shook my head again: "They want to kill me, but they lack the courage. If I were to die, the impact would be too severe. However, they could take revenge on me by killing you. My last fiancée was killed in a bombing like that." The young girl stuck out her tongue, rushed over, and hugged me tightly, laughing: "Alright, then I might as well just hug you all day long." Tilting her head, she said: "I feel so sleepy, I’m going to take a shower and sleep." I shook my head helplessly: "You young girls at your age are too fond of sleeping..." The young girl retorted: "What? Do you think I have as much energy as you?" She laughed and said: "Alright, then I might as well just hug you all day long." Tilting her head, she said: "I feel so sleepy, I’m going to take a shower and sleep." I shook my head helplessly: "You young girls at your age are too fond of sleeping..." The young girl retorted: "What? Do you think I have as much energy as you?" After downing 4 bottles of white liquor, her face didn’t even turn red. Hmph. She pulled off her pajamas and dashed into the bathroom.

My anger flared up, and I shouted: "Go up, gather the brothers, and keep a close watch on those little brothers sent by the companies, the small-time players, and the family members of the big boss." A few guys grinned maliciously: "Don't worry, boss, not a single hair of theirs will escape."

I lay on the bed, carefully reviewing the situation I had orchestrated. I had subdued 13 of the world's top-tier criminals through force, all of whom were highly intelligent. Subsequently, I employed both rewards and punishments to ensure their absolute obedience, and of course, I also utilized some psychological manipulation. All of this was accomplished within a mere 40 days of my departure abroad. After that, I headed straight to London and secretly began engaging with several arms traffickers. This made the other party extremely anxious, prompting them to dispatch a team of 7 individuals to track me around the clock.

However, I only stayed in London for 5 days before embarking on my leisurely journey

The airplane came to a steady stop, and I took the little girl off the plane. After collecting our luggage, we slowly walked out of the airport terminal

I comfortably settled into the large armchair and gently said, "I am back, and I am still the leader of Qinghuo." A few brothers called out, "Leader, who says you are not the leader? We were the first to take them down." I nodded and, with a grin, said, "Brother Hai, contact the Hell Fire Company in Africa. Have them assemble the best 500 people to come here. Just say it was instructed by their boss."

I smiled slyly and said: "Long face, let me introduce you. This little girl is mine, Andy. Andy, greet the big brothers." Andy obediently greeted each one, of course, ignoring those above on the floor.

Upon reaching the top level, the monkey said: "Boss, as per your usual practice, the top two floors are exclusively for you. The brothers are discussing something, and all meetings are held in this conference room. They are still arguing inside, and yesterday, Brother Chang faced off against them." Without saying a word, I kicked open the conference room door, which shattered into pieces and flew out.

Sitting in the taxi, I said: "Qinghuo Group Headquarters." After 2 minutes, the young girl began to exclaim: "You are going to Qinghuo Group? They are so arrogant. Look at the phone booths by the roadside, they are Qinghuo's; the gas stations, Qinghuo's; the supermarkets, Qinghuo's; the department stores, Qinghuo's; even the mobile food trucks are Qinghuo's. My goodness, do you know anyone from Qinghuo?"

At this moment, 5 elevators opened simultaneously. The Madman, the Crazy Dog, the Blood Wolf, the White Fool, the Monkey, and Iron Tooth led about 30 little subordinates out, walking while angrily discussing something. I gently cleared my throat and said, "Madman, how have you all been lately? It has been over two years since we last met"

I shouted: "Take them out and deal with them. Elevate a few from among the monkeys to manage them."
