Chapter 349 - The Badges
As expected, Diu Diu became agitated. He let out an ear-splitting scream and burst into tears. An Wan pushed the man away and threw herself before her son. "I won't hand him over to you. He is my son. You are not taking him away from him."
Knowing what Ming intended to do, Mo Li didn't hold back this time. Ming looked at the blood on the ground and the wounds on his arms. This Mo Li is interesting. She's young, but she's sharp as a tack. However, I am here today to tie up all the loose ends, and I shall give no mercy.
Ming had a sweetheart back at home, and she was a virtuous Japanese woman. An Wan was incomparable to her. That day, Ming had let his guard down and allowed An Wan to get close to him. Before Ming came to find Diu Diu in person, he contacted An Wan. However, An Wan refused to admit that she had drugged him that night on the phone. Ming wanted to believe her, but according to his investigation, An Wan was indeed at the hotel that night.
Therefore, Ming was angry that An Wan would still be so shameless to lie to his face. How dare she still act so innocent? Whenever he thought about it, he wanted to kill her. If not for An Wan, Ming would have married Keiko already.
Ming's eyes filled with killing intent. Mo Li could feel the dangerous aura exuded from the man. Diu Diu was very sensitive to the tension in the air due to his predisposition. He cried even louder. He ran towards Mo Li as if trying to seek protection from her.
As Ming tried to go for the killing move, Mo Li stretched out her hands towards him. She had a small badge in her hand. "Don't you know what this is?"
Ming instantly stopped when he saw the badge. He furrowed his brows in confusion. Why would she have this badge?
The badge was a symbol of the status of the mafia gang family. Usually, they wouldn't give such badges to someone underage. After all, only people who had proved themselves would earn this badge of honor.
Secondly, only members of the top 8 gangs in the world would have the chance to earn this badge. One such gang existed in Japan, and two gangs resided in China. However, no matter how Ming looked at it, the girl didn't appear to be part of a mafia gang.
Mo Li's eyes twitched when she saw Ming retreat. She was surprised that Quan Yu didn't lie to her. After Quan Yu woke up at the hospital, he had Ah Ao increase the security, and Quan Yu handed this badge to her. He told Mo Li that people in the underworld would have to show her respect whenever she showed this badge. The picture on the badge would say to them that she was not to be trifled with.
Ming was currently trying to decipher the picture on the badge. Fukase gang was ranked number 7th in the world. Feral animals inspired the images on the badge, and Ming went through them in his mind.
Their badge was a hyena; the 8th place gang's badge was a tiger; the 6th place a rhinoceros; the 5th place an alligator... Ming swallowed nervously because Mo Li's badge didn't feature any of these animals. It was not the picture of the 4th place gang, the boa constrictor, or even the 3rd place gang, the Komodo Dragon. Instead, Mo Li's badge featured the second place gang, the vulture!
No one had seen the first place gang's badge, the honey badger before... For people of the underworld, they understood that the difference between 7th place and 2nd place was more than just a picture on the badge.
An Wan had no idea what was so powerful about the badge that it had managed to stop Ming. However, she knew that the danger was over.
Ming suspected Mo Li was trying to fool him with a fake badge but the red beryl on the badge proved him wrong.
Red beryl was mined at Thomas Mountain. It was normally pink or light brown in color. Only high-quality and aged red beryl would be rose-colored. These were very rare.. A carat of rose-red beryl was worth at least 30,000 USD.
