Chapter 211: Rushing to Give Money_1
Even for Zangyu Tower, the largest business in Yulou Ancient Town, their items had set prices, what they said it cost, that’s what it cost.
But an auction, that’s simply a bottomless pit. No matter what the item is, as long as there is soone who wants it, its value could be inflated to several or even tens, hundreds of tis the original price.
So upon hearing Xu Fan ntion an auction, Brother Long’s face fell imdiately.
“Oh, not giving face, huh?” Zhao Dong saw Brother Long with a gloomy face, walked over to him, and said with an unfriendly expression.
Brother Long wasn’t actually afraid of Zhao Dong, but Xu Fan behind Zhao Dong was not soone Brother Long dared to provoke.
“Not at all, I’m willing to bid on an item for Boss Xu at the auction. As long as my Night Castle can afford it, even if I have to break the pot and sell the iron, I, Ah Long, will offer this gift to Mr. Xu,” Brother Long said, with a forced smile through the pain in his heart.
“Don’t worry, you won’t be spending your money for nothing. After the event is successful, I’ll give you a little gift that could improve your strength by one level,” Xu Fan said indifferently to Brother Long.
“Oh! That would be fantastic. My Night Castle will put all our efforts into winning the auction for Boss Xu tonight!” Upon hearing Xu Fan’s words, Brother Long almost got an adrenaline rush.
Xu Fan’s terrifying combat power had always been an unresolved nightmare in his heart. If Xu Fan could enhance his strength by one level, his control over Night Castle would increase significantly, and stepping out of Jiangtan Street to aspire to beco the overlord of the west of the city would be just around the corner.
“Young Master Xu, our Hu Family is also willing to put forth our entire family’s strength to bid for the treasures in tonight’s auction for you!” Hu Hai, standing on the side, cut in, which made Brother Long’s teeth itch with irritation.
“Dammit, I’ve just given the big shot my most earnest displays of goodwill, and the Hu Family jumps in to steal the show!”
Hu Hai could care less what Brother Long thought. His body had been implanted with a ‘Double Extre of Ice and Fire’ Spiritual Energy bomb by Xu Fan. Once it was triggered, it would be worse than death. If he didn’t curry favor with Xu Fan, then with whom should he?
“Young Master Xu, in my visit this ti, I’ve already brought most of the Hu Family’s asset transfer procedures. Now, as soon as Big Boss Zhao Dong signs, he can take over the Hu Family imdiately. Besides, the Hu Family’s accounts still have two hundred million in liquid funds, which I’ve decided to put in full towards tonight’s auction for Young Master Xu,” Hu Hai reported, holding a stack of docunts, respectfully to Xu Fan.
“Damn, Hu Hai, you really are ruthless. Although my Night Castle may not be as powerful as the Hu Family, I, Ah Long, am also willing to contribute one hundred million to support the big shot!” Brother Long quickly made his stand clear at this point.
Brother Long’s calculation wasn’t a loss.
His territory, Jiangtan Street, was the most prosperous street with the richest nightlife in Zhonghai City. Although his turf wasn’t as large as the Hu Family’s, his inco wasn’t much less than theirs.
Therefore, Jiangtan Street has always been a hotly contested location by Zhonghai’s forces. If Brother Long could successfully align with Xu Fan this ti, enhancing his strength was a minor matter, but the key was having Xu Fan’s support would make even many major forces think twice before taking action against him.
After all, the Hu Family was the dominant power in the south of the city. Once Xu Fan stepped in, even the always arrogant and domineering Hu Hai had beco obedient like a whipped dog in front of him. Xu Fan’s strength was undoubtedly trendous. At this point, if Brother Long could attach himself to Xu Fan’s banner, his future status would be much more stable.
“Oh, by the way, about that Cai Xiangdong from the zoo last ti, how’s the search going?” Xu Fan turned his head, recalling Cai Xiangdong, who had contacted Brother Long to set him up at the zoo. Not only did that bastard find Brother Long, but he also got in touch with two killers from the Black Glove Family in Arica, nearly making Xu Fan fall into his trap. With his insidious mind, he posed a great threat to Xu Yixue and Tongtong. He must be eliminated, so Xu Fan asked Brother Long.
“Boss Xu… that surna Cai, he’s very slippery. I have had seven or eight guys staking him out, and none could catch him. Don’t worry, I will catch him within three days and personally hand him over to you,” Brother Long replied timidly to Xu Fan.
“Good! I want to see him in three days. As for territory south of the city, don’t think about it anymore. Focus on running your own stall well. Zhao Dong will contact you and tell you what you can’t touch. If you can do that, then your Night Castle can prosper in Zhonghai City. But if you don’t listen, then don’t bla for being ruthless,” Xu Fan nodded, with a hint of warning in his voice, to Brother Long.
“No problem! Our Night Castle will definitely follow your arrangents,” Brother Long said, nodding and bowing.
What else could he do if he didn’t follow? Today’s Hu Hai is tomorrow’s Brother Long.
Xu Fan saw that there was nothing more here, so he waved his hand to dismiss everyone: “Tell the brothers who followed you to disperse. It doesn’t look good. Hu Hai and Zhao Dong, go sign the docunts and take care of the handover. The rest of you, dismiss.”
“Yes, yes.” Brother Long pulled out a card from his pocket and handed it to Xu Fan respectfully, “The password is 888888. I, Ah Long, wish Boss Xu a great victory at the auction tonight!”
“Okay!” Xu Fan glanced at Zhao Dong with an unconcerned expression.
Seeing Xu Fan’s gaze, Zhao Dong promptly understood and stepped forward to take the bank card from Brother Long’s hand.
The card contained one hundred million, and together with the two hundred million provided by the Hu Family, it totaled three hundred million. Even if sothing good were to appear at tonight’s auction, three hundred million would be quite sufficient.
Xu Fan waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave. He then returned to the private training room and continued his cultivation.
Zhao Dong and Hu Hai also picked a room and began going through the Hu Family’s handover details. On the verge of becoming the new boss of the south, Zhao Dong was naturally excited. Seeing the forrly high and mighty Southern Overlord Hu Hai being so polite to him, Zhao Dong felt incredibly refreshed.
But after the refreshing mont, Zhao Dong sobered up imdiately.
Everything he had was given by Xu Fan. Hu Hai had been captured by Xu Fan’s subordinate, Mo Luo Dan. Xu Fan had also subdued Hu Hai with his unfathomable thods.
Without Xu Fan, Zhao Dong would still be a small-ti hoodlum confined to Yulou Ancient Town. It was Xu Fan who taught him superior martial arts techniques, provided him with powerful elixirs, and gave him the status of a big brother in the south. He now understood deeply that being wholeheartedly devoted to Xu Fan and showing unwavering loyalty to him was the premise for him to establish a foothold in the south.
