"Hello?" Lin Dong pressed the answer button.
"Brother Lin, how have you been? Why didn't you let me know you were going back to Nandu?"
On the phone, Wang Hu's voice came through, tinged with reproach.
"Oh, it's Tiger. I just got home last night... Huh? That's strange, how did you know I was back so quickly?"
Lin Dong was indeed a little surprised.
Logically speaking, since I got home last night, I haven't left the resort or made any phone calls to acquaintances.
How did Wang Hu know his whereabouts?
"Why call me Tiger Lord? I can't accept that title. We're all brothers, and I'm a bit older, so just call me Brother Tiger, haha..."
The smiling tiger let out his signature laugh.
Lin Dong smiled, but still asked with a hint of doubt:
"Okay, from now on I'll call you Brother Tiger. Brother Tiger, how come you're so well-informed? Did you install surveillance cameras in my house?"
"What are you saying? Do you think I, Wang Hu, am that kind of person?"
"You, the King of the North, what wouldn't you dare to do? Heh..."
"Brother, don't make fun of your older brother. What 'King of the North District'? It's just an old, stale nickname in the underworld."
Wang Hu paused, then said seriously:
"In today's Southern Capital, who dares to call themselves 'master' or 'king' in front of you, Lin Dong?"
"Brother Tiger, is it really that exaggerated?"
"It's not an exaggeration at all. In a few days, it will probably be even more exaggerated!"
What does this mean?
"Brother, you're not exactly discreet at all. Do you think you can keep such a big deal about Kokang and Kachin State a secret?"
Lin Dong was taken aback, wondering how Wang Hu had learned about what was happening overseas.
"Stop guessing, bro. I have a few acquaintances in northern Myanmar. Your glorious achievements have kept me up at night for days..."
"Oh, I see. I thought you installed a security camera in my house! You scared me!"
"Hahaha... Brother, what is there to fear from such an extraordinary person as you?"
"......"
Lin Dong was speechless upon hearing this.
"By the way, Brother Lin, your exploits in northern Myanmar will probably spread throughout the mainland underworld soon. Do you have any big plans since you came back?"
"Uh... no, bro, do you want me to say something this important over the phone?" Lin Dong rolled his eyes.
"Yes, yes, it was my oversight. Here's what I'll do: tonight at 6 pm, I'll be hosting a welcome-back party for you at the Tiangong Hotel. You absolutely have to come!"
"Brother Tiger is treating me to dinner, of course I'll be there! See you tonight."
"Brother, I'll be waiting for you tonight!"
................................................
6 PM, Tiangong Hotel.
The Chinese restaurant on the 29th floor has already welcomed its first batch of diners for tonight's dinner.
Everyone in the southern province knows that those who can afford to spend money at Tiangong are not ordinary people.
It's said that a meal here can easily cost an average person ten years' salary.
Such a high-end venue naturally requires advance booking.
In particular, the only 10 VIP rooms are impossible to book without making a reservation at least a month in advance.
Strangely, Wang Hu only booked the room today, yet a private room was available that same day.
It's clear that Wang Hu's reputation, built up over twenty years in the northern part of Nandu, is no joke.
In VIP room number 9, Lin Dong and Wang Hu took their seats one after the other.
At the large round dining table, only two powerful figures from the Southern Metropolis underworld were seated.
Outside the private room stood two tall, imposing men, Feng Zi and Tu Ren.
After ordering, Wang Hu couldn't wait to start asking Lin Dong about his trip to northern Myanmar.
After all, what you hear from others is just a few words, how can it be as detailed as what the person involved said?
Lin Dong didn't hide anything. Apart from his own system and some sensitive information that he couldn't talk about, he was completely open about everything else.
Perfect timing! I've been having Mo Huan and Feng Zi investigate some gang forces these past few days.
Spreading this message will have a greater deterrent effect...
"Brother Lin, I've lived for decades, and you're the most extraordinary person I've ever met. Ever since that battle at the Queen's Bar, I've paid extra attention to you!"
After hearing Lin Dong's description of his trip to northern Myanmar, Wang Hu's heart was in turmoil, and he could not calm down for a long time.
He stood up, picked up the 20-year-old Moutai on the table, and poured a cup for Lin Dong with exceptional respect.
"Brother Tiger, you flatter me. It was just luck," Lin Dong said modestly, nodding.
"If it happens once, is it still luck? If it happens ten or eight times, is it still luck?"
Wang Hu turned the bottle around, filled his own glass, and offered a toast to Lin Dong, shaking his head as he said:
"In the world of martial arts, every day is like licking blood from a knife's edge. Without formidable personal strength, how can one create miracles?"
"I, Wang Hu, am not talented, but I've never been bad at judging people. You, my brother, are a hidden dragon among men..."
"Now the time is ripe, the winds of change are blowing, it's time for you, my brother, to soar to the heavens!"
......
Listening to Wang Hu's flattery, Lin Dong smiled but remained silent.
But at this moment, his heart was filled with boundless pride.
After all, he has now returned with the power and prestige of destroying warlords and ruling northern Myanmar.
He has hidden cards, each one an absolute trump card.
In this world of martial arts, who else can rival him?
Unless you use the state apparatus!
Otherwise, in a direct confrontation, a real fight with swords and spears, very few people could defeat him.
......
"Brother Tiger, enough chit-chat. I'm back this time to do something big."
