70: Chapter 70: Both Thought They Had Won!
Unlike last ti, this ti Eris personally took his n to escort Cheng Daqi out.
He even specifically instructed,
“Go take Chan, drive him ho.”
The words of the West Coast agent weren’t just out of concern, but also full of threats.
But Cheng Daqi’s attitude remained as sincerely earnest as always.
“Mr.
Eris, you’ve always been so good to , thank you!”
After thanking Eris, he left with Eris’s n.
As for the two lines of crap he had said, neither Eris nor he himself believed them.
Unfortunately, not everyone is blessed with a clever little noggin.
Riel’s brain was naturally small, he gripped the steering wheel with one hand while the other hand struggled to find a radio station.
‘This is Flying Lotus, welco to Flying Lotus Radio, today…’
After tuning the radio, Riel breathed a sigh of relief.
The two-ter-tall giant lit a cigarette with his other hand, then smiled and spoke.
“Buddy, I’m Riel, they call Giant Bear Riel, what’s your na again?”
Uncertain whether the big man had received other orders from Eris, Cheng Daqi chose to respond cautiously.
“Chan, Chan from Jackie Chan, ever heard of him?
Chinese Kung Fu master.”
Riel gave Cheng Daqi a surprised look, then nodded emphatically.
“Yeah, of course, I certainly know, yeah, I know.”
Riel just responded once and then fell silent, concentrating on driving.
Cheng Daqi didn’t quite understand the purpose of the big man and didn’t continue the conversation.
He was thinking about the day’s confrontation with Eris.
Both were old hands, the surface exchange was quite pleasant, but the undertones were all about pulling strings.
He understood Eris’s intentions, the West Coast agent couldn’t possibly be unaware that a vagrant could never co up with fifteen thousand dollars.
But Eris just really never brought up the issue of whether Cheng Daqi could afford it.
anwhile, Eris also implied he could ante up the other half for the sake of cooperation.
Heh, for the sake of cooperation.
A laughable reason.
All of Eris’s attitudes and actions were hinting, suggesting that Cheng Daqi could borrow money from him.
Cheng Daqi was certain, no creature of self-interest would be so benevolent.
Even with a reason, nobody would be willing to give money for nothing.
Even more so when it’s fifteen thousand dollars!
The blonde-haired white girl was kind, wasn’t she?
The two thousand he gave her was still a loan.
The West Coast agent dealt in gray business; how could he be doing good deeds without any hidden agenda?
Eris was doing this to entice Cheng Daqi into borrowing money from him.
Thirty thousand might seem out of reach, but I can help you with half, oh.
Furthermore, judging by Eris’s actions, running around to help him secure an identity and even putting up money to buy it.
How generous, right?
Another person might have really fallen for it.
Unfortunately, Cheng Daqi is a Reincarnator.
For close-range backup, he has the system and profit-making betting odds from LOL, and for a long-term strategy, he’s got his newly-launched MCN company.
When he told Eris to consider for a few days, Cheng Daqi was waiting for the new user task reward of system identity recognition!
According to the chosen identity recognition, to tailor a perfect identity fit for himself, which Eris could never have predicted.
He thought Cheng Daqi was cooperating with him to get an identity or to avoid being targeted by him.
But Eris never realized that Cheng Daqi intended to blend into Arica, and when the opportunity arose, to stir up a storm!
He thought he was using Cheng Daqi, leveraging Cheng Daqi’s viewpoint to connect with higher-level players.
But he didn’t realize that Cheng Daqi had turned it around to use him fiercely!
The West Coast dream-chaser hoped to control Cheng Daqi through loans, but Cheng Daqi’s counterasures could entirely prevent his own control.
How interesting the world is, how marvelous the gas people play!
Cheng Daqi felt that he not only had the strategy of sacrificing the plum tree for the peach tree quietly laid out but could even soon get a legal identity through Eris.
It didn’t cost much, but he saw the hope of stirring up a storm.
Win!
Eris believed that, no matter what, he could at least make a decent amount of money from Cheng Daqi, the kind that amounts to five thousand Dollars.
The potential future earnings even seed imasurable to him.
Win!
Just from the perspective of interests, at this mont, both of them felt like they had hit the jackpot!
—————–
As Cheng Daqi swiftly considered the details in his head, the Ford car was also nearing its destination.
Before long, the car entered Red Street.
Riel used to hang around the streets and didn’t feel anything special about the chaos of Red Street.
But he never expected that the boss’s partner would be living in such a place.
“Chan, you actually live here?”
“It’s pretty good here, lots of interesting things, you see a lot of interesting people every day.”
Although the monsters on Red Street were overwhelmingly powerful, they indeed provided Cheng Daqi with video material, and he absolutely loved the place.
“Alright, are you sure you want to get off here?”
Thanks to his simple and efficient ntal wiring, Riel did not realize there was anything wrong with Cheng Daqi’s reply; he found this Asian guy nad Chan quite humorous.
“Yes, just stop by the curb.”
The old boxy Ford looked bland and unremarkable, and nobody on Red Street paid it any attention.
However, as Cheng Daqi opened the door, he was spotted by an old acquaintance who was currently queuing for relief.
Kernor had been thinking about Cheng Daqi for quite so ti.
He genuinely wanted to learn martial arts from him and had sent him hundreds of ssages on social dia.
Unfortunately, Cheng Daqi hadn’t replied to a single one.
Seeing the boy he’d been longing for finally appeared, the two hundred pound Kernor charged over.
In Riel’s eyes, it was a sudden attack on Cheng Daqi by a burly black man out of the blue.
As Eris’s bodyguard, Riel hadn’t had a real fight in over two years.
Usually running around with his boss, Eris often warned him not to start trouble; he really didn’t have a chance to take action.
Cheng Daqi is Eris’s partner ≈ Cheng Daqi needs protection.
Cheng Daqi is ambushed ≈ I should step in!
Simple logic didn’t require much hesitation.
As Kernor reached Cheng Daqi, before even Cheng Daqi could react, Riel was already in position.
The excited Kernor didn’t notice Riel’s approach at all; his eyes were solely focused on Cheng Daqi.
Not receiving a single reply after hundreds of ssages, the black brother’s heart was full of obsession with Cheng Daqi.
It slt a bit like a gender-bent, overly devoted fan.
When Kernor charged over, he had already decided to give Cheng Daqi a severe scolding first, then kneel down to beg to beco his disciple.
He had watched plenty of Hua Country martial arts movies during this ti and knew that becoming a disciple required kneeling.
The black brother had a clear thought process.
Scold first, but kneel down for apprenticeship after.
A believer in the principle of respecting teachers and valuing morals!
As a top enforcer under the West Coast agent, Riel did not take soone like Kernor, a ‘small potato,’ seriously at all.
The two-ter-tall ‘giant bear’ simply launched a punch, a light one, right onto Kernor’s shoulder.
It’s not that Riel didn’t aim for the head, nor did he fancy gentleness.
He was just afraid of ending the match too soon and cutting short the fun.
Cheng Daqi, who was looking at his phone while opening the car door, stepped out and hadn’t taken two steps when Kernor charged toward him.
After Riel landed that ‘heavy’ punch, only then did he realize the black guy falling down was an old acquaintance of his.
Seeing the ‘giant bear’ Riel, who seed still eager to continue, licking his lips ready to pick Kernor up for another round, Cheng Daqi hurriedly intervened.
Red Street might be chaotic, but ultimately, the law still ruled supre.
If a real fight led to problems, the trouble would be huge.
“Riel, it’s okay, there’s no need for this, no need for this, he’s my friend.”
