Chapter 414 Winning Over and Contingency Plans
Seeing the sly smile on Ye Nanxiao's face, Yaoling really wanted to say "Get lost," but after thinking about it, she decided to hold back since this guy was currently her master.
The people in the hall were stunned and could not recover for a long time.
The leader of the local gang was destroyed right before their eyes, treated like a toy by his own shadow. He was a powerful warrior at the level of a Contra Douluo, yet he was completely powerless against the mysterious man with one foot on a stool.
"Gurgle."
Someone secretly swallowed, which triggered a reaction from the crowd.
Second floor.
The guy felt his jaw clenching and he was secretly relieved that he had been polite enough, otherwise he would be the one being swallowed by the shadow.
The leader of the local gang only shouted a couple of words and he was gone. If I had treated those two with the same temper I had before, wouldn't his bones have been dissolved into nutrients by now?
"Boss! I don't think today is a good day for us to open for business!" the shop assistant whispered to the young man, afraid that if he spoke too loudly, it would attract the attention of the murderous god downstairs.
The young man's eyes were also wide open. He had originally thought that by taking advantage of the arrival of the local gang, he could determine the true strength of the demon spirit and decide whether or not he should step in to resolve the matter.
It seems there's no need for me to show up now. They've taken care of the trouble themselves and even took the trash with them. Going out now will only result in a decrease in their favorability.
After a long silence, the young man finally stood up and walked downstairs.
The fact that he didn't damage the place while fighting was already a great favor to him. If he didn't appear soon, the young man suspected that his own shadow would get up and fight him next.
The young man walked down the stairs, his footsteps startling the crowd who were still in a state of shock.
Upon seeing the young man, the group felt somewhat safer, since he was the manager of this intelligence station.
But this sense of security was quickly shattered, as the young man straightened his clothes and bowed deeply to the two mysterious figures they saw.
"My name is Gao Tu, and I am the manager here. Is there anything I can do to help you two gentlemen?" Gao Tu's manners were impeccable. For these information brokers, face was never an important thing.
"Have you had enough of the show? Then let's get down to business." Ye Nanxiao gently hooked a fallen stool with his right hand, causing it to land behind Gao Tu.
The demon finally removed its foot from the stool.
"I wonder what this sir wants me to do?" Gao Tu lowered his posture, keeping a close eye on the demon spirit out of the corner of his eye, and even turning his body to face Ye Nanxiao.
"Your Excellency Gao Tu, you should know about the Fu family and the Zhang family in Kunshan City, right?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"I know, sir. Would you like to learn more about these two families?" Gao Tu asked.
"Since you know about these two families, then you tell me, which of these two families is better?" Ye Nanxiao asked a question that Gao Tu never expected.
"Oh, by the way, before you answer, the air here is too stuffy." Ye Nanxiao glanced around meaningfully.
Those who met Ye Nanxiao's gaze felt a chill that penetrated to the bone.
Gao Tu was a shrewd man. He immediately stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and said to the crowd around him, "My shop has to close early today. Please be careful when you leave."
The group looked at each other, then stood up, clasped their hands in greeting, and left.
As for what they heard, that's their own business.
After everyone had left, Gao Tu looked at Ye Nanxiao again and asked, "Why would you allow me to be targeted by the Fu and Zhang families?"
"Thinking about it is an overstatement. You don't need to be nervous. Even if these two families join forces, they wouldn't dare to touch you. They're just using your prestige for a bit." Ye Nanxiao reached out and picked up a chopstick, dipped it in tea, and started writing on the table.
"Sir, you should know the rules for enticing dealers to do business," Gao Tu said, bowing his head and placing his hands on the table.
"The local gang, I suppose you're capable of taking it on."
"Alright, I'll be greedy just this once."
After saying that, Ye Nanxiao tapped the table and put his hand on the demon spirit's shoulder.
The demon spirit, carrying Ye Nanxiao, gradually sank into the shadow beneath it.
The waiter waited for the time it takes to drink two cups of tea, and only after confirming that Ye Nanxiao and the other two great masters had left did he dare to show himself and walk to Gao Tu's side.
"Boss?" The waiter followed Gao Tu's gaze and saw a white jade ring carved with a snake's head encased in water stains on the table.
The man had seen this white jade ring before; it had always been worn on the right hand by the leader of the local gang, who used it to mobilize all of the gang's resources.
The fact that this white jade ring is here means that his boss's deal has been finalized.
"Wow! We've made a big sale today! I thought we wouldn't have much business from drinks!" The waiter immediately became excited.
"You idiot! All you think about is money, money, money! Do you even know what the consequences will be if you take this ring?" Gao Tu said angrily.
"Those two aren't so benevolent! We're in the same boat now! No matter what happens to the Fu and Zhang families afterward, we'll be involved in some way!"
The guy got sprayed in Gao Tu's face with spit and wiped his face in grievance.
"But boss, you accepted it too? The local gang is a considerable resource!"
"Forget it, you secretly take some men to keep an eye on the local gang first. I'll wait and see what happens between the two families." Gao Tu sighed and said, wondering why he couldn't control himself and was so greedy.
Just as Gao Tu had predicted, the Zhang and Fu families had already learned through their own spies that a powerful figure had arrived at the underground intelligence station, and that the local gang had been instantly killed in a single encounter with him.
Fu Zhong was sitting in his courtyard, anxiously watching the sky. He was still waiting for Ye Nanxiao and the demon spirit to contact him.
"You absolutely must come! Otherwise, I'll lose my position as the Grand Elder!" Fu Zhong prayed in his heart, hoping that the demon spirit would appear outside the Fu family's gate in the next second.
He had given all his assets, plus the profits from the Fu family's caravan trip, to the demon spirit. If he were to be cheated, he wouldn't need to plead guilty himself; the Fu family patriarch and the previous patriarch would personally come to capture him and bring him before the ancestral tablets to be questioned.
As the moon rose high in the sky, Fu Zhong still hadn't received any news of a visit, and he began to feel anxious.
"Could it be that I've been tricked?" Fu Zhong slammed his hand on the stone table next to him in anger, and the stone table instantly turned into a pile of rubble.
"The night is long, so even if you can't sleep, don't cause any damage. What a fine stone table."
A voice rang out in Fu Zhong's courtyard.
"Who!" Fu Zhong raised his voice imposingly, his gaze locking onto the direction from which the voice came.
Two figures emerged from the shadows. One was the demon spirit that Fu Zhong had seen during the day, and the other was Ye Nanxiao, who was in charge of the big deception.
Upon seeing the black robe from his memory, Fu Zhong immediately dropped his imposing aura and hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "My lord! This old man has been waiting for you!"
Fu Zhong raised his sleeve and wiped the two stone benches, his wrinkles crinkling into a bright smile. "My lords! Please, sit here!"
The arrival of the spirit made Fu Zhong naturally assume the role of a servant, and he took the initiative to serve tea and water.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at the smiling face on Fu Zhong's face and said indifferently, "Alright, we came here to tell you that since we have taken your money, we will not go back on our word. As for how much of the Zhang family's business district you can take over, that's your business."
Hearing the answer he wanted, Fu Zhong's smile became even brighter.
He just wanted to make contributions to the family. Originally, he only planned to attack some of the Zhang family's shops and caravans to take away some profits and territory. Unexpectedly, Ye Nanxiao directly spoke up to help the Fu family take half of the Zhang family's territory.
This is no ordinary land; it's a territory with numerous workshops, a land industry that can produce a large amount of gold soul coins!
"Yes, yes! I will report to the patriarch immediately and mobilize the troops. I await the signal from the two lords! If you do not know the signal, then..." Fu Zhong asked cautiously.
"You've seen firecrackers before, haven't you?" Ye Nanxiao's smile grew even brighter.
"Of course! Oh! I understand!" Fu Zhong quickly realized.
"You'd better have more armed forces. The Zhang family isn't the type to sit idly by and wait to be killed. They seem to have hired some experts as well," Ye Nanxiao said, putting his hand on Yao Ling's shoulder.
The demon spirit immediately carried Ye Nanxiao into the shadows beneath their feet.
A gloomy world filled Ye Nanxiao's vision, with black blocks bouncing like jelly everywhere.
This wasn't Ye Nanxiao's first time entering the demon spirit's skill space, but each time, he was still curious about what this space was all about.
The demon spirit couldn't answer this question either, because from birth he knew he could freely enter this space, and he never bothered to think about it.
Four hundred meters away from the main residence of the Fu family, in an alley, the demon spirit led Ye Nanxiao out of the shadows.
"I always want to praise you; your skill is simply a divine escape technique," Ye Nanxiao exclaimed.
"Praise me as much as you can, it sounds nice to me!" The demon spirit's face was full of smugness, he enjoyed the feeling of being praised by Ye Nanxiao.
"Next, we should go to the Zhang family." Ye Nanxiao took out a map from the demon spirit's pocket.
"Strategist, after we go to the Fu family, do we also have to go to the Zhang family? We can't order both families around at the same time, can we?" the demon spirit asked.
Ye Nanxiao stared at the map, memorizing the layout of all the streets in Kunshan City, and casually slapped the demon spirit on the head with one hand.
"If you don't go to both places at the same time, how are you going to fight one tiger with another wolf?" Ye Nanxiao said irritably.
"Since both sides have long harbored the intention to annex each other, and both regard us as their henchmen, I might as well light a fire for them and give them some encouragement."
"It's more lively when there are more people."
