"Ah Qu, how can you talk like that? Aren't we all in a meeting to express our opinions?" He Hongxin said, frowning.

"You call this expressing an opinion? Ha!"

Bengyaqu smiled contemptuously and snorted coldly:

“Mr. He, I’m Bengyaqu and I speak my mind. Please don’t take offense. I don’t agree with this kind of perfunctory vote.”

"Oh? Boss Qu isn't going to listen to what I have to say next?" Lin Dong asked calmly.

"What else is there to say? Do you, Boss Lin, really intend to give me money?"

"That's right, it's to give you money."

"Tch, you'd really be that kind?"

"Whether it's true or not, why don't you just listen and see?"

Lin Dong wasn't in a hurry at all, nor was he angry.

In his eyes, Bengyaqu's temper tantrums and even his table-flipping were no different from a child throwing a tantrum.

When you are strong enough, all the noise and disturbances from the outside world are nothing to worry about.

Individual dissenting voices are like a buzzing mosquito; even if they are a little annoying, they don't pose much of a threat.

If you can't stand it, you can just slap it to death...

"That's right, Ah Qu, calm down and listen to Mr. Lin's analysis first."

Perhaps due to his age, He Hongxin is much more tolerant of outsiders than before.

Of course, he was also wary, worried that once the conflict escalated, there would be no room for maneuver for either side.

A few years ago, if Bengyaqu had dared to be so arrogant in front of him, he would have already slammed the stage and lost his temper.

"Alright, then I'll give Mr. He face and give you three minutes to convince me."

Although Bengya Qu was very resentful, at this moment, it was not appropriate for him to openly confront Lin Dong in front of the gambling king.

Lin Dong smiled slightly: "It won't take 3 minutes, just 3 sentences will suffice."

"The first point is that investing in the guild fund will increase in value every year, with an estimated average annualized rate of 30%."

"Secondly, there are only four casinos in Macau, and the other three have all participated. Does New Macau really intend to remain an outsider forever?"

"This third sentence is a piece of advice."

“New Australia is a piece of fat meat, and many people are eyeing it. If you, Broken Tooth, think you can handle it alone without the guild, I have nothing to say.”

To rise to the position of 13K leader, Bengyaqu couldn't possibly be a fool.

He certainly understood the meaning behind Lin Dong's three sentences, which could be summarized in one sentence:

"Play with me and I'll guarantee you wealth; otherwise, you might not even be able to keep the casino you own."

Bengyaqu fell silent, and the fierceness on his face subsided considerably.

With just a few words, he had this influential figure in Macau under his thumb. Boss Lin's control over people's hearts had reached a level of perfection.

.............................................

"Boss Lin, you're not just bragging about that 30% annualized return, are you?"

After hesitating for a while, Bengyaqu voiced his doubts.

He was indeed tempted.

Knowing that Bengyaqu was beginning to waver, Lin Dong had no choice but to patiently explain further:

"Boss Qu, do you think I need to brag?"

"Since my debut, has Lin Dong ever done anything dishonest?"

"With professional accountants and financial investment experts overseeing the guild fund, achieving a comprehensive annualized rate of 30% shouldn't be difficult."

"Most importantly, I will personally oversee the fund's investment direction. With me here, it wouldn't be difficult for the guild fund to triple in a year..."

Hiss~

Tripled in a year?

Wouldn't 5 billion become 15 billion?

Young people have such big mouths!

"If others said that, I'd just take it as a joke, but since Mr. Lin dared to make such a bold claim, I believe him! Hahaha..."

During this period, He Hongxin specifically collected a lot of information about Lin Dong.

In his eyes, Lin Dong was already an omnipotent genius.

If they were to get involved with such an extraordinary person, the Ho family, and even the entire gambling industry in Macau, would have an enormous trump card.

The gambling king's enthusiasm, including offering Lin Dong the position of vice chairman of the guild to bring him into the casino guild and fully supporting the establishment of the guild's foundation, stemmed from these considerations.

He Hongxin had already planned it out. He would wait another six months until the casino association held its general election, at which point he would hand over the important chairmanship to Lin Dong.

With Lin Dong around and the powerful Dragon Gang as their backing, the gambling industry in Macau will be worry-free for the next thirty years...

The 72-year-old gambling king has a lot of plans in mind.

Little did they know that Lin Dong, who appeared harmless on the surface, already had a much bigger plan:

The Macau casino guild was merely a stepping stone for him to enter the core of power in the Macau underworld.

Once he assumes the position of guild leader, activating [Loyalty] will ensure that all forces under his command will be completely at his disposal.

Whether it was the gambling king or the broken-toothed man, they could not escape the fate of being taken over.

Controlling the gambling industry is tantamount to controlling Macau.

Therefore, killing one person and wiping out a gang is not difficult.

But this was not what Lin Dong had planned.

His grand goal was to bring all the important martial arts factions on this planet under his control.

......

"Okay, the second question: what would happen if I, Broken Tooth Canal, refused to join the guild fund today?"

When Bengyaqu said this, not only the people present, but even the gambling king was stunned for a moment.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and their expressions became tense.

Because he dared to speak like that, Bengyaqu had essentially broken through the last layer of paper separating them.

Both sides have deployed heavy forces at the English casino, creating a tense atmosphere where a bloody conflict could erupt at any moment.

Lin Dong's expression didn't change much as he slowly asked, "What do you think?"

Despite his displeasure, Bengya Qu retorted without backing down, "In a fierce battle, the outcome is still uncertain..."

"Boss Qu, do you really think so?" Lin Dong's lips curled slightly as he stared at Bengya Qu with a playful expression.

Bengyaqu was slightly taken aback. Just what kind of trump card was Lin Dong hiding?

"Hehe, don't guess wildly. I'm a very simple person. I like to solve problems in the most direct way."

Lin Dong chuckled, revealing his signature two rows of large, white teeth:

"To be honest, it's really unnecessary for you to make such a big show of things in England."

"Why?" Bengyaqu couldn't help but ask.

"Because this fight can't even happen."

"Lin Dong, do you really think you're the King of Macau? Hmph, you think you can just say there won't be a fight and expect it to stop?"

Despite having agreed to Lin Dong's proposal to establish a guild fund, Bengyaqu was still dissatisfied.

Lin Dong shrugged: "Don't believe me? You can make a phone call and ask."

Bengyaqu's heart skipped a beat, and he had a vague sense of foreboding.

Just as I was lost in thought, a sudden cell phone ring broke the oppressive atmosphere in the meeting room.

Bengyaqu didn't dare to delay and quickly took out his phone from his pocket and pressed the answer button.

After listening to just a few words, his expression changed, becoming extremely ugly.
