After contacting Gu Xiaoxue, only then did Tang Xiu know that the Everlasting Feast Hall had some people stationed in Macao. Accurately speaking, they had just been sent to open a new Everlasting Feast Hall’s branch there and the security they had was quite recognizable.

Hu Zhiwu was the General Manager of Macao’s Everlasting East Hall, as well as the one in charge for the intelligence network. He was only in his early thirties, yet he was someone who had made substantial footmarks in the mercenary and assassination world. He looked gentle like a weak scholar on the surface, but he was known as a ruthless killer who could kill without batting an eye to those who knew him.

“Ajin, what’s the situation with the medicinal herbs issue?”

Hu Zhiwu was now inside the branch office, looking solemn as he stood before the window while asking with his back against the youth behind him.

The youth was twenty-seven something looking, with a monkey-like face which had eyes flickering with intelligence. Upon hearing Hu Zhiwu’s question, he nodded and said, “I’ve used all the money you gave me as per your instruction, Manager. It’s just that the precious medicinal herbs are kinda expensive nowadays, so I can only buy a few of them.”

Hu Zhiwu nodded after hearing his answer, “However few we have, just give them to me and I’ll squeeze some time to send them to Jingmen Island to get some pills so I can break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment earlier.”

“Alright!” the youth hurriedly nodded.

Ring, ring, ring…

One of the two cell phones on the desktop suddenly rang.

Hu Zhiwu blanked out for a moment and his countenance immediately changed. He had two handsets; one was used as his private number, and the one that was ringing now was a mission call from the Everlasting Feast Hall. Whenever that ringtone sounded, that meant he had an important mission to carry out.

After he picked it up, Hu Zhiwu said in a deep voice, “Hu Zhiwu speaking.”

“I’m Tang Xiu.” Tang Xiu’s voice was coming out from the phone.

The moment Hu Zhiwu heard the name, his face turned respectful and reverently said, “Are you looking for me, Boss?”

“Yeah. I heard you’re in Macao; is that right? If so, there’s something I need you to do,” said Tang Xiu.

“Please do tell, Boss,” replied Hu Zhiwu respectfully.

Tang Xiu told him the issue and finally concluded in a deep voice, “Take some men to keep an eye on the situation at Conrad Hotel, and record and report to me about those who check in and out of the hotel. If you find anyone suspicious, keep monitoring them closely. Also, some of our Everlasting Feast Hall’s people will be coming from headquarters as fast as possible. You should assist them when they arrive while you’re monitoring all the various channels of the whole island. Once we recognize their identity, you and they are to target them. Make sure to make them stay put.”

“Understood. I’ll arrange it right away.”

Hu Zhiwu could tell the seriousness of the mission and answered with a solemn look. After hanging up, he immediately called the youth and said in a deep voice, “A Jin, we’ll put the medicinal herbs issue on hold for the time being as there’s more important thing we must do now.”

“Was the person who just called you the Big Boss?” asked A Jin.

“Yeah, he personally issued the order and we must accomplish it perfectly.” Hu Zhiwu nodded and said, “Thus, you are to immediately gather all of our security force…”

Macao city port.

A passenger liner slowly anchored and, after the passenger had disembarked, Tang Yunde saw a middle-aged man on the coast with four bodyguards in black attire protecting him as he quickly approached to greet the man.

“Anhu!”

Tang Yunde smiled beamingly and strode fast to greet him. He and the middle-aged man hugged each other. It was the second time for Tang Yunde to meet his comrade-in-arms after he woke up from his comatose state.

“You finally came here, Yunde,” said Chen Anhu excitedly.

“I received your call and immediately rushed here. Don’t worry, though. I’m coming to solve your problem this time,” replied Tang Yunde with a smile.

“That’s the concern I’ve been worrying about, Yunde. I think I really need you to solve it this time,” Chen Anhu let out a bitter smile upon hearing it. “The said party I told you about has a big background and is backed by the Zhao Family from Beijing who support them with a group of experts from abroad. I really can’t hold them much longer.”

Tang Yunde patted his shoulder and said, “I brought a lot of men this time, but they have already come here through other means in order not to be noticed by those people though. Alright, shall we go now? I kinda spotted some suspicious people just as I got off the liner nearby.”

Chen Anhu’s complexion slightly changed as he nodded and said, “Let’s.”
