At work the next day, Ge Liang held a phone to his ear. "Are the plans ready?" "Yes, they are. All people and workers are in place."

Wait. Damn. We need to rewind.

3 Hours Ago

Ge Liang knew he needed a plan to take on a man with a gun. He wasn't an idiot and knew that even a pistol could injure him for life, leaving him deformed and disabled. A better plan had to be concocted... one that would raise his standing in the company. All of these plans and quests had to lead to Ge Liang's one main goal: to become the manager and eventually own the store. So, it was decided. Wei Qian gathered all the employees to witness the fight so they could help if needed and view Ge Liang doing the fighting, possibly raising their satisfaction.

Ge Liang would be irritating, proving that they were lying and committing fraud and also a part of this mysterious organisation, and when they attacked he could claim self preservation. It was also very unlikely that they would bring their weapons to work, as if they were found with weapons at a work place, they could be investigated and sent to jail, and that would be bad for the gang. When all the preparations were completed, Ge Liang started.

First he had to be subtle, so he started with: "Did you hear, there is a group of cashiers committing fraud at this supermarket! Can you help me investigate?" Clearly, they were already ruffled by that question. "I heard those people were part of an armed gang that targets rich children!" Now the members of the group were quaking in fear. They had all seen how Ge Liang had attacked the assailants of the bullied victim in the supermarket, and they did not want to be next. "Big Bro, let's get out of here. We should find a new supermarket to infiltrate, clearly our actions have been found out." "How? We didn't do anything incriminating.... The boss is going to kill us.." "Let's play along. What the boss can do is infinitely worse than what Ge Liang can do... even if he is a monster."

Ge Liang went along provoking them and verbally igniting them, and then the fuse hit the dynamite. At this point, all the employees were watching enraptured, as Ge Liang used his sharp tongue to keep attacking the gang members. When the eldest man in the group of the gang knew they were found out, he whispered: "Attack in 10 seconds, on my command. He can't possibly withstand every combat genius we have in this group.. It is 10 on 1." Everyone thought Ge Liang was bravely going into a suicide massacre. However, they did not yet know what kind of massacre it would be. Everyone's hearts ached for Ge Liang... it was too bad that he did not know how things worked around here. The gang controlled the whole supermarket with blackmail, lies and coercion. Then, all of a sudden, Ge Liang attacked fiercely.

Channeling his inner strength, Ge Liang used his newfound strength and smarts to the fullest. The gang members didn't know he was this powerful, and they were hit with a huge sense of killing aura. Every instinct they had told them to run, hide and address the attacker as their grandfather. The gang members were extremely apprehensive, as this had only happened one time before... With the boss. Imagining the boss fighting them full-on without a single sense of regard for their safety.. this was truly terrifying. However, they had to stand their ground and fight, no matter what the consequences. Their gang's reputation was built on moments like these. If members like them breached the gang's reputation, the boss would be extremely displeased. Remembering the last thing the boss had did to one squad he was extremely displeased with... they shuddered.

Ge Liang was already among them, causing chaos. "T - T - This guy is way too fast! His movements happen at light speed, and he is as strong as an enraged lion! I must report this to the boss..." One got away. However, the other 9 were still in their horrible position. Half a minute later, every single one of them was bruised, bloody and unconscious. There was a noticeable change in satisfaction in the Employee Management panel, and all were cheering for Ge Liang for he had finally saved them from oppression. "Maybe things will finally change under him.", Wei Qian thought. The employees had been put down for years, and many had considered self-harm... there was no doubt that the respect and happiness they were feeling were top-notch.

The Boss's Office - Yangtian Street Gang

"Sir... I must compare him to you. You are the only other in this gang that we have ever seen output such an amazing killer aura and deathly impression.. All of our instincts told us to run away, for deep inside, our bodies must have known only death would await us there."

"Did you run away? Desertion makes me very displeased...."

"No, no not at all... I thought that this information would be especially helpful to you, and I made the decision to come back."

"Thank you... I will find this man. He will die at the hands of the Yangtian gang for disobeying our laws. We are the only powerhouse on this street. No others are allowed to be strong. You are promoted to Researcher for your quick mind. Find out about this man immediately, or else."

While Ge Liang was celebrating his success, a new force was targeting him. In the weeks to come, he would understand just how strong of a storm he had whipped up.
