Grand Court Hotel.
This is a Japanese-style hotel.
The private rooms are all decorated with tatami mats.
At this moment, a woman was kneeling on the tatami mat, pouring wine for several middle-aged men with trepidation.
"Master Xu, I'm so sorry. My friend acted impulsively and hit Young Master Xu. Please give me another chance..."
"Zhao Fangfang, don't give me that crap! I've never had anyone dare to slap me in the face before, and your friend dared to slap me? This isn't over! Even if you're going to apologize, you should be the one to send him over here, not you!" Xu Hao roared, his eyes red.
This slap is the greatest humiliation of his life. If he doesn't get his revenge, where will he put his face?
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a white beard waved at Xu Hao. This man was Xu Hao's father, Xu Xiao. He glanced at Zhao Fangfang and said, "Are your two friends from the military?"
"Uh, yes, they are all my dad's friends, but please don't misunderstand, they are not military officers, they are just retired officers!" Zhao Fangfang honestly explained.
Xu Xiao frowned. "But I heard Hao'er say that one of them is a general?"
"No, no!" Zhao Fangfang waved her hands repeatedly, explaining, "It's just a misunderstanding! They're just ordinary soldiers!"
Xu Xiao still frowned, "But Captain Wang was also there at the time, and he called that person 'General,' why was that?"
Zhao Fangfang continued, "They probably know each other. I heard that Captain Wang also has a military background. He was worried that you would retaliate against your comrades, so he helped you make up the lie!"
"I see!" Xu Xiao suddenly realized, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
He was genuinely worried that his son had offended some powerful figure, but now it seems he had been worrying unnecessarily.
"Hey Lao Xu, how come you're getting weaker and weaker? You're actually worried about two small military units?"
At this moment, a burly middle-aged man spoke up, his face full of disdain: "What's there to be afraid of in a mere military force? Do you think it's still ten years ago? In Qing City today, Hongwu Sect is the boss! Even if a general really came, he would have to grovel like a dog!"
"You agree, right, Lao Shen?" the burly middle-aged man said, then turned to the refined middle-aged man beside him and asked.
This burly middle-aged man is named Liu Yi. The Liu family is one of the top wealthy families in Qing City!
The refined middle-aged man was named Shen Cong, who was Shen Jian's father. His family owned a taxi company and several monopolistic industries such as freight transportation. The Shen family was also a prominent family in Qing City!
These three middle-aged men together now control half of the financial power in Qing City!
Today, Liu Yi invited Xu Xiao and the other person here to seek their investment. The investment target is none other than the Hongwu Sect, which is currently at its peak!
At this moment, Shen Cong spoke calmly: "Our Shen family has always been steady and cautious in business. We generally don't take risks in areas we're not familiar with! Although the Hongwu Sect's project is very tempting, the current economic environment is not good, and we dare not invest recklessly!"
Liu Yi shook his head. "Old Shen, you're really getting more and more out of touch with reality. Don't you know what the situation is like at Hongwu Gate right now? The entire upper class of Qing City considers it an honor to send their children to Hongwu Gate! It's foreseeable that Hongwu Gate will dominate the entire Feng Prefecture in the future. Right now, Hongwu Gate is at the peak of its development and expansion. If you don't offer help when it's in need, are you going to wait until then to add to its glory? I advise you not to be foolish. You should act when the time is right!"
Xu Xiao and Shen Cong exchanged a glance, both slightly tempted. To be honest, they were also interested in investing in Hongwumen. However, Hongwumen had been causing quite a stir recently, even showing signs of confrontation with the military. The North was different from the South, where military power always held the greatest authority. Once the Fengtian Army got serious, who knew what would happen to Hongwumen in the future?
Liu Yi seemed to see through their thoughts, a slight, cold smile playing on his lips. "I know what you're worried about, but to be honest, your worries are unnecessary. Do you think Hongwu Sect has come this far without anyone supporting it? Let me tell you this: Hongwu Sect is backed by a mysterious family, a family that even the Yandu authorities are extremely wary of! Moreover, I've heard they've also gained the support of several powerful families in the south, and they could absolutely overthrow the entire north in the future! It's my fault for not warning you; you can still get on board now! If you hesitate any longer, you'll regret it later!"
Upon hearing this news, both Shen Cong and Xu Xiao were slightly startled, and they both frowned and began to ponder.
Then, Liu Yi added fuel to the fire, continuing, "Furthermore, I'm telling you, Hongwu Sect still has a few special training spots available. Once your children enter the special training camp, they're very likely to be chosen by the sect leader as disciples and receive special training, just like my son! They'll definitely become the best in Hongwu Sect in the future!"
When this news was released, both Shen Cong and Xu Xiao were somewhat moved.
What they envied most was that Liu Yisheng had a good son!
Three years ago, Liu Yi's son was just a pretty face, but after a special training session, he caught the eye of the leader of the Hongwu Sect and was taken in as a personal disciple, completely changing his fate! The Liu family also went from being a family that was not as good as them to becoming the head of many powerful families!
So when they heard this news, both Shen Cong and Xu Xiao were very interested.
Shen Cong was a cautious man. He thought for a moment and said, "I heard that your son is going to have a martial arts competition with some little devil from the military. Why don't we wait until after the competition to talk about it?"
The conflict between the military and Hongwu Sect has been long-standing, and the military suffered crushing defeats in previous martial arts competitions. However, this time, the scale of the conflict is arguably the largest ever!
If the Fengtian Army loses again this time, it will mean that the military has truly declined, and the Hongwu School will surely rise again.
Then he can rest easy and side with the Hongwu Sect!
Xu Xiao nodded. In fact, he thought so too. They wouldn't act until they saw the benefits. If the Fengtian Army lost again this time, they would lose all face!
Liu Yi said dismissively, "What are we waiting for? Do you really think that Little Yama can beat my son?"
"I'm telling you, it's superfluous, utterly superfluous!"
Liu Yi said arrogantly, "I'm not bragging, but my son Liu Yuning received personal instruction from the Hongwu Sect Master! Forget about that Little Yama King, I've heard that the Feng Army has some kind of 'Jade-Faced Yama King,' even if my son met him, he would beat the crap out of him!"
Bang!
No sooner had he finished speaking than the door to the private room was opened.
Two tall figures strode in.
One of the handsome men frowned, then chuckled and looked at Liu Yi with a mocking expression. "Excuse me, I am the Jade-Faced Yama! I've come uninvited, you don't mind, do you?"
"You, what brings you here?"
Everyone was stunned, while Zhao Fangfang looked as if she had seen a ghost, and was instantly terrified!
