"As you probably know, Nanshi is only so big, and it has everything it needs. The market is already saturated, and if outsiders interfere, it will disrupt the market order."
At first glance, it seems like just advice or a warning from a middle-aged elder to a younger generation.
The initial statement, even somewhat comforting, makes it easier to accept the advice that follows.
There was no cruelty or coercion in the words.
Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu clearly remembered the bounty list.
Some people, after playing the role of a smiling tiger for too long, become accustomed to animalistic thinking, engaging in life-and-death plunder.
If they fail, they will put on human skin again and use any means necessary, like humans who hide daggers behind smiles.
"Why say so much? Since Xiao Cheng wants a piece of the pie, let's see if you have the ability." Xu Dongtai swung the baton to officially start the battle.
He's an impatient and outspoken person, unlike a big boss who keeps his true intentions hidden and stares at people for a long time without saying a word.
Unlike He Yongli, who beats around the bush and avoids getting to the point, letting others point out his bad deeds while he plays the good guy.
Xu Dongtai held the ball girl's hand holding the club while glancing at Bai Lu every now and then.
Although Bai Lu was completely hidden by Xiao Cheng's tall and imposing figure, not even a single hair of hers could be seen.
Xu Dongtai, however, couldn't help but smirk lewdly.
He said to Xiao Cheng with a disdainful tone, "The course in front of you has 18 holes with fairways longer than 471 yards."
"The flagpole at each hole marks a city, and you can sink 18 three-ball shots in a row."
“We will not interfere with your chain of electrical appliance stores in those fifteen cities, your newly established fruit factory and electric chestnut roasting machine factory, and we will no longer ask about them. We will give you enough time to grow.”
"Once you have the strength to stand on equal footing with us, then we can talk about truly taking over Nanshi and dividing the market equally."
A long hole with a minimum standard of 5 strokes is forcibly compressed into 3 strokes, and all 18 holes must be finished with strokes.
To expect a novice like Xiao Cheng to accomplish something that even world-class players can't do is clearly an attempt to deny him a chance and maliciously make things difficult, hoping to force him to admit defeat and beg for mercy.
"Mr. Xu, aren't you making things too difficult for me?" Bai Lu gripped Xiao Cheng's bulging right fist with both hands.
He peeked out from his side and said, "A hole that's over 471 yards long has a par of 5, but you expect us to finish it in 3 strokes, with such a large hazard."
"If we don't reach the green in one shot, and then try again, even if we do reach the green, the golf ball is still so far from the hole. With only one shot left, how can we guarantee that we won't make a mistake, get a hole-in-one, and complete all 18 holes in 3s? Even a god couldn't do that."
When Xu Dongtai saw Bai Lu being released and heard her sighs and groans of distress, as if she had no choice but to submit, his sadistic desires were momentarily satisfied, and he threw away Qiu Mei's hand.
His gaze, brimming with unspoken tension, casually swept over the black figures surrounding the court.
He said helplessly, "Miss Bailu, there's nothing I can do. As you can see, not all the people are mine."
"Even if I agree to you scoring 5 strokes in 18 holes, Mr. He and Mr. Fu will not agree."
He Yongli leisurely practiced his game by swinging his golf club.
After the big boss landed on the green with one shot, a hint of glint appeared in his handsome eyes, and his expression softened slightly.
Neither of them spoke up to refute Xu Dongtai's unilateral decision to reduce his stroke count from 5 to 3.
Bai Lu, with an expression that suggested she had finally had to accept the reality and could only grit her teeth and say, "Can you guarantee that if we can score all 18 holes within 3 strokes, you won't interfere in our affairs anymore?"
