Chapter 104: Getting Close Now, A Gun’s no Use! (2/2)

What had shocked him even more was that despite Wang Chao’s age, he had not been scared by the formation laid out in front of him. The matter had been treated as if there was a deadlock between them.

“Huuu.” Chen Libo had suddenly felt his breathing rate grow labored. His body had originally been in bad straits. With the current atmosphere relatively heavy, he couldn’t help feel it take effect on his spirit, causing his ill body to grow tired.

“Hahaha, what a heroic youngster. Now is the time for youngsters on this Earth.”

Chen Libo began to exert energy trying to bring his breathing down to a regular pattern. With that, he laughed and waved his hands, “I was only just joking. I wanted to see you for myself. I know that Bin Bin would not find the wrong man.”

“You may leave!”

At Chen Libo’s command, the six black men exited from the room without a sound and closed the door. Soon enough, the only remaining people in the room was the youth and the elder.

Chen Libo had no other choice. If he went on like he did earlier and Wang Chao did something, his life was over.

Seeing the elder’s expression change as fast as turning a page of a book without even a single look of embarrassment, Wang Chao couldn’t help but smile inwardly. He could really admire someone such as the leader of the Chenshi Corporation if he could control the situation at any given pace.

“Ai, I’m old now. It’s hard to avoid being suspicious.” Chen Libo immediately took out some medicine and chugged it down with a bottle of water. After a moment’s rest, he had begun to look better.

“What just happened now was nothing more than a misunderstanding, you wanted to see Aiyang, correct? I’ll call him over now.” Chen Libo’s hand reached for the phone on his table, “It’s me, Chen Libo. Have Chen Aiyang come over to the company to see me.”

Wang Chao smiled without a word.

“Youngster, why don’t we make a deal?” Chen Libo smiled in a way that made his elderly face crinkle.

“What type of deal?” Wang Chao asked carelessly.

“My eyes aren’t dull, I can see that your skill and calm-headed thinking will make you a great person in the future. It’s unfortunate that with your current background, you’re bound at the arm and leg.”

Chen Libo sighed, “I’ve grown old. I’m not long for this world. This family business of mine will soon one day find a successor. Within my family, Chen Aiyang is one of the only ones capable of protecting it. While the other children are more than enough to protect the business, but expanding it will be extremely hard. Aiyang has many enemies, if I were to die and give him the title, then he will definitely come across major troubles. If I don’t, then someone else will try to see that he dies.”

“I know Chen Aiyang well. Not only is martial arts what our family is known for, but our way of thinking for it is deep as well. We cannot be so easily crushed by any other family, and neither am I willing for my Chenshi Corporation to undergo internal strife and allow some outsider to take advantage.”

“I know master Chen. If you entrust the Chenshi Corporation to him, then the business will only prosper with him. But what are you getting at? Don’t keep me in suspense.”

The two had initially been at swords, but in a short amount of time, they had started to talk almost casually. It was truly a miraculous sight. Interpersonal friendships were like a battle to the death on the platform–there were all sorts of factors to it.

Chen Libo smiled, “Youngster, don’t be so impetuous. In truth, this battle Bin Bin had called you over for isn’t all that bad as it sounds. This competition is nothing more than a situation where the all-piercing spear meets the impervious shield; there is nothing to do about it. My business’ oversea transport conflict with the Chinese Revival Society cannot be resolved within a day or two. In the past, for the sake of business, we’ve took to the seas for battle many many times. By the end when neither of us were willing to compromise, we had no choice but to make a gamble on a fight. I could actually refuse their written challenge and hire more pirates to fight it out overseas once more.”

“Youngster, do you understand what I’m saying?”

Wang Chao tapped a finger, “Martial arts has already declined, we cannot say what is truth and what is false any more. I understand this. To work as a business, one must use its total strength and not rely on if they can win a single competition.”

“You truly are a smart youngster.” Chen Libo sipped a cup of water, “People shouldn’t conspire in secret. I’ll set up some conditions, will you agree to them?”

“What conditions?”

“I know you have the backing of the European patrons. The human becomes a slave, but it is more refreshing to be the king of your own mountain. If you separate yourself from the Europeans, then I will give you a 30% share in the Chenshi Corporation. This will give you the same rights as Chen Aiyang, how about it?” Chen Libo spoke seriously.

“Are you speaking seriously?” Due to Chen Libo’s crafty nature, Wang Chao wasn’t willing to trust the words coming out from his mouth.

“I’m serious.” Chen Libo spoke. “I’m an old man now. With the changing circumstances, I cannot afford to not bet. I will give you a 30% share in the company, but you will promise that you will ensure that Aiyang will not persecute anyone from the Chen family. This condition, I will make sure it is arranged out in less than a year. However, you will become a member of the Chen family.”

“What is the meaning of this?”

“I can see Bin Bin sees you in high regard, and I believe you won’t refuse her. You two should get married. In one or two years, you should have a child and become a member of the Chen family. That way, I will be comforted. How about it, you and Aiyang will work together, and that way, I will be able to rest assured. My body can only last for two more years at best, if a child is born, then I will be relieved.”

“So then, what is your answer? In my conditions I have given you money and a wife. In one or two years, the entire Chenshi Corporation will be yours as well. In truth, the European power behind you, I have no energy to deal with. Yet you are familiar with them, I am sure that you would deal with them better than I would! Youngster, with one word, the human becomes the slave, or you become the king of your own mountain.”
