Chapter 1114:
The next day, everyone slept until noon again. At lunchti, the scar-faced man and others personally visited the hotel and arranged a al for Ye Chen and his group. The lunch was very sumptuous, unlike the plain white buns they had the previous night. Zhang Lang and others feasted heartily.
"Boss Ye, I’ve already arranged with the leader of the One-legged Gang to et at four in the afternoon at the Iron Goddess Tea House!" the scar-faced man glanced at Ye Chen.
"Okay!" Ye Chen nodded, "Did you agree on the rules?"
"Yes!" The scar-faced man quickly explained, "We agreed not to bring weapons, just drinking tea and chatting. If there’s going to be a fight, it’s scheduled for the afternoon and will happen at night!"
"Interesting!" Ye Chen smirked.
After finishing lunch, the scar-faced man and Ye Chen’s group went to a bar for entertainnt. They called over so attractive won, whom Zhang Lang and others naturally didn’t refuse, but Ye Chen was not interested in such ordinary things. Without soone as beautiful as a heavenly fairy, how could they match up to Ye Chen?
The scar-faced man saw Ye Chen wasn’t interested and said no more, only asking the won to leave. After spending an hour at the bar, as the ti was nearing, Ye Chen and his group headed to Iron Goddess Tea House. This tea house was a venue for negotiations in Jining; whenever gangs arranged fights, it usually happened here. It’s said that the tea house’s owner is an extraordinary individual and serves as an interdiary who enforces the agreed rules, dealing swiftly with any violations.
Of course, as interdiaries, the tea fees weren’t cheap. A regular pot of Iron Goddess cost eighty-eight hundred, and a premium one could be eighty-eight thousand. The tea here is pricey, so pay as you see fit.
The tea house had a good environnt, situated by a spring, drinking tea and enjoying the view was indeed delightful. Upon entering, Zhang Lang and the others were very satisfied with the tea house’s setting, aside from the clear spring, there were many green plants bringing a touch of spring to the tea house.
Entering the tea house, uniford girls led the group to a tea room. Inside was a precious pear wood tea set, a rosewood tea table, and even the tables and chairs were made of Hong Xiang wood. Zhang Lang and the others sat casually on the chairs, unaware that these were worth tens of thousands.
Ye Chen naturally recognized the quality; with Dian Ling teaching him and Elder Dian occasionally advising, he was quite knowledgeable about these items. The scar-faced man glanced at everyone before saying, "Ye, Master Qian is about to arrive!"
"Who is Master Qian?" Ye Chen asked in confusion.
"He’s the owner of this tea house!" the scar-faced man hastily replied.
"And the One-legged Gang mbers?" Ye Chen asked curiously, "Shouldn’t they be here?"
"They’ll co once Master Qian arrives," the scar-faced man grinned nacingly. Although his heart bore a friendly smile, his expression was sinister due to the scar on his face, making it fearful.
"Okay!" Ye Chen sat down, pondering, "I wonder how much this round of tea costs and who pays?"
"Haha, this round of tea probably costs eighty-eight thousand, as for paynt, typically the losing side covers it!" The scar-faced man gave Ye Chen a glance and said, "Ye, if we handle them, not only will revenge be served, but we might save on the eighty-eight thousand too!"
As the scar-faced man spoke, an elderly man with silver hair slowly ascended the stairs. Seeing the old man, the scar-faced man and others imdiately stood from their chairs and greeted him warmly, "Master Qian, you finally arrived!"
"Haha, couldn’t miss it!" Master Qian chuckled, "The One-legged Gang called , they’ll be here soon, I ask you all to be patient!"
"Well, if Master Qian says so, what more can we say?" the scar-faced man laughed, and everyone sat down. Master Qian glanced at Ye Chen, furrowing his brow, he couldn’t help but take a few extra glances, sharing a montary exchange of looks between them.
Then the scar-faced man introduced Ye Chen to the old man. Master Qian chuckled, "Indeed, nowadays it’s all about the young talents. I’m almost getting old, nearing retirent, and would like soone to take over, I wonder if Mr. Ye is interested?"
Gasp...
The scar-faced man gasped, scratching his ear, he asked Master Qian, "Master Qian, are you?... Are you considering him as your successor? Isn’t this nonsense?"
"Nonsense, when have I ever misled you?" Master Qian glared at the scar-faced man and said warmly, "I see Mr. Ye has unique bone structure, clear features, truly has the making of a great leader. I wonder if Mr. Ye is interested?"
"Sorry, I’m not considering a career change for now!" Ye Chen smiled calmly.
"Oh, what a pity!" Master Qian chuckled.
Right then, sounds ca from the entrance, Master Qian stood up laughingly, "Haha, just like they say, speak of the devil and he will appear. The One-legged Gang has arrived. Hahaha."
"Mr. Ye, the One-legged Gang has arrived!" the scar-faced man quickly said.
"One-legged? Don’t they have another na?" Ye Chen asked curiously.
"Uh..." the scar-faced man hesitated, "Since debuting, he’s been called One-legged, his real na is forgotten by many!"
"Oh, so that’s how it is!" Ye Chen nodded.
Everyone stared at the staircase, first seeing several one-ard n. However, they were fitted with prosthetics, all crafted from pure titanium. These prosthetics were very useful during battles, thanks to titanium’s durability, even if clashing arms with soone’s machete, it’s the machete that breaks.
Then, the legendary one-legged man appeared. The man propped on a crutch, with sharp eyes appearing in Ye Chen’s sight. Ye Chen froze, as it was none other than Liu the Tyrant, one of his Eight Hidden Generals. Liu the Tyrant had retreated from the Heavenly Reversal Gang due to a lost leg. He had returned to his ho in Shandong, the subsequent events were unknown.
Unexpectedly, Liu the Tyrant returned showing unrest, even forming a One-legged Gang? Ye Chen and Zhang Lang imdiately stood up. Liu the Tyrant climbed the stairs laboriously, grinning, "I heard the scar-faced guy found so backing, I ca to see what kind of backing it is?"
Once Liu the Tyrant climbed the stairs, he was stunned looking at Ye Chen, his crutch falling to the ground as he exclaid, "Brother Chen, how... how is it you?!"
"Tyrant, doing well lately?" Ye Chen’s eyes moistened, seeing his brother rekindled sentints, ti doesn’t let one off easily. Unseen, several years had passed. Liu’s head bore so white streaks, it seed Liu had a tough ti these past years.
"Brother Chen, I... I’m good, I’m very good!" Liu the Tyrant nodded excitedly, jumping to Ye Chen, throwing himself into Ye Chen’s arms, kneeling, "Brother Chen, I... I miss you, I miss the brothers!"
"Stand up! Stand up!" Ye Chen hastily helped Liu the Tyrant up, "If you miss the brothers, why not visit?"
"I... I didn’t want the brothers to see so shabby!" Liu the Tyrant gritted his teeth, "I wanted to prove to Brother Chen that although we’re disabled, our hearts are not, we still wish to contribute to the Heavenly Reversal Gang. So I decided to lead this group of disabled brothers to strive for our own kingdom. Then, when our gang gains so influence, I’ll co to Jianghuai City to see Brother Chen!"
"Oh, Tyrant, why endure all this!" Ye Chen gritted his teeth.
"Brother Chen, if I don’t achieve sothing, how can I face the old brothers!" Liu the Tyrant, a big man, this ti was full of tears and snot. Zhang Lang ca forward to support Liu the Tyrant, "Brother Overlord, the brothers miss you deeply. How could they despise you? If you visit, they’ll be happy for days!"
"Brother Chen, are... are you standing up for the scar-faced man this ti?" Liu the Tyrant asked puzzled.
"Yes, this ti the scar-faced man asked to handle your One-legged Gang, once its resolved, he’s willing to join the Heavenly Reversal Gang. Considering the scar-faced man’s capability, I intended to recruit him!" Ye Chen nodded.
"Good, good!" Liu the Tyrant nodded.
Thud...
Suddenly, Liu the Tyrant knelt before the scar-faced man, gritting his teeth, "Scar-face, I was wrong in the past, I shouldn’t have taken over your territory, shouldn’t have caused trouble. In summary, I hope you forgive One-legged’s past, for Brother Chen’s sake!"
"Tyrant, rise!" Ye Chen hurried over to support Liu the Tyrant, "If I knew One-legged was you, even if it killed , I wouldn’t help him. You’re my brother!"
