After three rounds of drinks, Chen Ruhai said to He Yishou and Feng Xiunian with a smile: "I am a newcomer, so I hope you two will take good care of me.
"Don't worry, I know the rules of our underworld. As long as you two are willing to do me the honor of having some food, I will definitely repay you handsomely in the future!"
Chen Ruhai chatted and laughed with Feng Xiunian and He Yishou from the beginning of the dinner party, but ignored Shen Zhao, who was in the head position.
It's very simple. What means could a young man like Shen Zhao possibly have to become the leader of an alliance? He's definitely just a puppet supported by those two old men, Bi Deng.
This kind of little Karami can be easily controlled by himself, so it is impossible to give him face.
Besides, he couldn't bring himself to beg for food from a junior.
He Yishou glanced at Shen Zhao, who was still focused on cutting his steak, and said with a smile, "Chief Chen, you're too polite. Since we're all in the same business, we'll naturally help each other out. However, there are rules in the underworld."
"If Chief Chen wants to establish himself in Qingyang City, he still needs our Alliance Leader's approval, right? You should ask our Alliance Leader; if he agrees, everything will be fine."
Feng Xiunian, sitting opposite Chen Ruhai, also put down his chopsticks, lit a cigar (given by Shen Zhao), took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring, saying, "Yes, Chief Chen, as long as our Alliance Leader agrees, this matter..."
"Of course, we have no problem with that either. You might as well talk to our leader instead. After all, if things don't go well and the rules are broken later, there'll be someone to take responsibility, right?"
Chen Ruhai laughed when he heard this and said, "You two are veterans in the underworld. Do you really want to listen to the words of a junior?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiunian and He Yishou exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with mockery and sarcasm.
Clearly, Chen Ruhai has no idea how badly he'll fare later. Is Shen Zhao someone you can afford to offend? He's incredibly ruthless and hot-blooded when he attacks.
However, Chen Ruhai did not notice anything amiss. Instead, he glanced at Shen Zhao and said with a smirk, "I think Alliance Leader Shen has no objections, right?"
Shen Zhao ignored him, continuing to focus on his steak and taking a sip of wine, completely ignoring the nagging of old man Chen Ruhai.
This made Chen Ruhai even more convinced that Shen Zhao was just a puppet he had been supporting, and he couldn't help but speak in a sarcastic tone.
"It's good for young people to have ideas, but not everyone can make it in this field. Don't think that Qingyang City can rest easy just because it has the Qingyun Sect as its backer. Many things are not as simple as you think."
Then he glanced around the fight club, pointed at the sandbags, and sneered, "Thinking you can act like a big shot just by showing off these tricks? Forget it. Strength is what counts in the underworld!"
Shen Zhao swallowed the last piece of steak, then picked up the tablecloth to wipe his mouth, and with a smile, beckoned Chen Ruhai to come closer.
As Chen Ruhai leaned closer with a cold smile, Shen Zhao immediately slapped him across the face, causing his brain to shut down for three seconds.
Before Chen Ruhai could react, he was slapped in the face again. In an instant, half of Chen Ruhai's cheek was swollen so much that Cai Xukun could perform basketball.
However, Shen Zhao's slaps showed no sign of stopping. As he slapped her, he shouted, "Just eat! Why the hell are you spouting so much nonsense?"
Who gave you permission to add your own drama? We're finally having a nice hot pot meal, and all we hear is your wailing and howling. Are you pretending I don't exist?!
After being slapped seven or eight times in a row, Chen Ruhai's teeth were broken. Looking at his miserable appearance, he was destined to not be able to eat more than four dishes for the rest of his life.
Poor Chen Ruhai, despite being at the Spirit Gathering Realm, was slapped by Shen Zhao so hard that he couldn't muster even a trace of spiritual energy. Instead, the more he was slapped, the less spiritual energy he had, and his cultivation level visibly declined.
When He Yishou and Feng Xiunian, two smart guys, saw this scene, they turned their heads and looked around.
After ten slaps, Chen Ruhai's face was swollen to the size of a basketball court, and he lay on the ground like a dead dog. Only then did Shen Zhao roll up his sleeves, stop, and stand up, saying, "Don't bring any of these nobodies into my territory again, unless you don't want to stay here."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Upon hearing this, the two immediately summoned their underlings and instructed them to check on Chen Ruhai. If he was dead, they were to carry him out and bury him anywhere; if he wasn't dead, they were to throw him into the river and let him fend for himself. They also instructed them to deal with all the Little Karami of the Red Dragon Gang in the city.
After dealing with this trivial matter, Shen Zhao said, "The people from Guangyuan Auction House should be arriving soon, right? The goods are ready. Lao He, you can negotiate the price. Lao Feng, keep an eye on things. Recently, there have been quite a few new forces around Qingyang City. Remember to notify me immediately if there's any trouble."
"Don't worry, brother. We will take care of this matter."
