Chapter 66: The threat of firepower

Fingering the golden card given to him by Chen Bin, Wang Chao pocketed it into his clothes. This was a good chance to bridge a connection to the Chenshi Corporation and was naturally not a chance to miss.

The organization had told him about the circumstances behind the coastal area and the underworld. Originally, he had thought he would need many days in order to establish a concrete working, but the situation now had been far more profitable than he had anticipated.

By morning he had reached Guangzhou, by afternoon, he had entered the underground fighting ring, and overnight, he had met someone famous.

“Things progress in the underworld far too quickly. With such a quick development, there will surely be a mistake. With any mistakes, there will be confusion. But that’s not too surprising. With the princelings controlling the entire area in every single manner without consideration, it would be strange for them to not develop this fast. Even the sun would most likely be under their control.”

After thinking for some time, he had a thought.

“After I return back, I’ll have Boulder report today’s work to the organization. After several days, I’ll have a better understanding of the underworld and pull out after that.”

Joining Lu Chengwen’s group was only meant to be a short episode of Wang Chao’s time in Guangzhou. It was mainly for him to get to know the basic situation of the place and was not something he was planning on staying with.

On the fifth of next month the gamble with Zhao Jun would be held. At that time, he would be putting out the entire assets of Tianxing Corporation, a prize that was far beyond the current status of Lu Chengwen.

This was what it meant to be a part of the dark fists.

But with the dispute against Zhao Jun, that was called a competition.

One was dark fist, one was a competition. Although both had to do with fighting, the scale of the bet was on a whole new level.

Ever since the princelings had made their way into the coastal area, the organization had gradually started to pull back their secret agents so as to avoid a possible political problem.

But withdrawing all of the secret agents would naturally be slow and would take several years. If Wang Chao wanted to compete with Zhao Jun, he needed new information.

As for the current plans of the organization, Cao Yi had made sure to explain it clearly.

In the past two years, the coastal area had grown more and more unruly with the outside powers being able to stick their hands into it. The organization had noticed how unruly it was becoming and knew that the princelings couldn’t be allowed to continue on like this. It was time for them to do something about it now.

Wang Chao would be the very first person the organization would use to start.

The organization would use Wang Chao to deal with the princelings and solve the problem with the law in the coastal area.

As for the others, Wang Chao wasn’t clear on the details since those were top secrets.

However, Wang Chao knew that if he were to not only win against Zhao Jun, but the other two tigers of Guangdong, then his prestige would cause no small waves in the Southeastern Asia world.

A name was a source of capital. With such a capital, then the organization would be much more willing in supporting a person. They would place them on a higher priority and let them contend with the princelings.

If he lost, then he would naturally lose his life.

But if Wang Chao didn’t join the organization, then no matter what the outcome was, his life was moot. Thus, he decided to join the organization.

The cause of all of this was rather simple, it was because of Zhu Jia.

But Wang Chao had no desire of blaming it all on Zhua Jia. It was only after Zhao Jun who had thought his life to be like the blades of a piece of grass had realized that Wang Chao was no mere ant. After making this realization, the situation had become to such a state.

“Even the organization don’t see my life as something worth rescuing over. Wait until the situation with Zhang Wei is over before something is changed.”

Every person had an obstacle to overcome right in front of him.

His was Zhang Wei.

If he won against Zhang Wei, then he would have the organization’s support. If not, then it would become a complicated situation.

“Ai! This situation is quite troublesome, I’ll be in danger for the next few days.”

Although it was impossible to quit now, Wang Chao was not bothered by this. He had treated this unfavorable situation like a mirror in which he could polish. This mentality could only be credited to the one year where he had followed the path of the Long March.

The journey had been long and hard and he had experienced many things. With all of the experiences combined, he had baptized himself and tempered his will to become as hard as iron.

In a split moment, Wang Chao had saw the way and returned to his path of martial arts.

Back when he had tested the Taichi master Chen Bin’s strength, he had already figured out a good grasp of her skill. She too had been at the Hidden Jin stage at the very least.

He hadn’t even needed to press hands against her, her words had given away more than enough information.

Chen Bin’s fist had been gentle but hard at the same time while her agility was extremely fast. Even Taichi’s art of pushing hands had been on par with Wang Chao’s own skill.

Just from what he saw, Wang Chao could already guess that Chen Bin’s agility was at the very least faster than Qin Maojiao’s white ape style.

“If it was me and her fighting on the stage, my chances of victory would probably be around 70%.”

The most crucial detail in a competition was knowing your enemy to get the full picture. One also had to take note of their movements and just how strong they were.

250 kilograms worth of power was not much different to 500 kilograms worth of power: both would kill.

While waiting for Wang Chao to arrive, Lu Chengwen had been utterly anxious. But the very moment he saw Wang Chao walk out, he was like a mosquito that had spotted blood and instantly swarmed around Wang Chao.

“You’re finally done, quick quick, into the car, lets go!”

Cramming everyone onto the car, it immediately took off as if chasing after the wind.

“This time’s profits is pretty good! According to the contract, you’ve earned yourself 200,000 RMB!” Lu Chengwen looked around himself while mentioning the aftermath of what happened because of Wang Chao’s performance.

Wang Chao couldn’t help but laugh to himself. The winning profits was at the very least several millions, so according to the contract, he should have been earning at least a single million. However, he had said nothing and only nodded his head.

There had been no spoken words along the way back to Guangzhou. But Lu Chengwen had began to treat Wang Chao differently now by preparing a three story building for him instantly. An environment like that was vastly different from the 60 cubic meter room from before.

“This is your 20,000 RMB cut. Take care of it well. What do you think, am I not a man of my words or not?! I’ll prepare for your next fight, and with your talent, it shouldn’t take even another month before you can earn a million RMB!” Lu Chengwen crowed before handing over 20 bright red bills.

His triangular eyes began to gleam as he muttered, “But you shouldn’t run around carelessly. The person you killed was a pretty important person, so there’s definitely going to be danger for you. However, you don’t need to worry. As long as you stay here, I can guarantee that you won’t come across any trouble.”

Seeing Wang Chao take the money, Lu Chengwen smiled in satisfaction with himself. Speaking to the people to his side, he said, “Let’s go now boys, we don’t want to disturb the expert’s sleep!”

“Brother Wen, what should we do now?” After leaving the room, Blacky had spoken to Lu Chengwen. “He killed the disciple of Xu Zhen, this is a disaster.”

“What should we do? What else?!” Lu Chengwen spoke dangerously. “A disaster is a disaster, but it’s no use worrying about it for now. Wang Chao is still our source of money. We’ll make use of this time to earn as much money as we can from him! Then when Xu Zhen comes, we’ll just hand him over, it’s not like we’ll be the ones in trouble!”

“But, brother Wen. This guy’s really strong, What if he earns any influence later on?” Blacky spoke.

“Influence…” Lu Chengwen picked at his nose without a care in the world, “Who cares if he has any influence? When people are on my turf, then even the Emperor himself wouldn’t be able to jump without me saying so.”

“Blacky, have even more people stand watch around the buildings, carry your guns! Don’t let him run away either.” Lu Chengwen glared. “Since he has angered Xu Zhen, he’s already a dead man walking. It’s just up to us to absorb any remaining value he has left! Go and find out what’s the next closest competition and then sign him up for it! Whether he lives or dies, I don’t give a shit!”

“Brother Wen is as smart as Zhuge Liang!” Blacky laughed darkly, “But, if it’s like that, why did we even bother giving him 200,000 RMB? Actually, why even give him cash? Wouldn’t a check do?”

“Idiot! With so much cash, if he wanted to run away, then it’d be cumbersome to take it all!” Lu Chengwen snorted.

“Ah, brother Wen is far too smart!” Blacky spoke out in praise, “I’ll get everything prepared straight away!”

Just as Lu Chengwen was conspiring against Wang Chao, Wang Chao was doing the same with Boulder against Lu Chengwen.
