Chapter 41

This money should naturally be kept by you, Master.

If anyone dares to gossip, I, Chu Tian, will be the first to disagree; I’ll slaughter them for you!”

Luo Tuo’s face broke into a smile upon hearing this.

He had thought Chu Tian didn't know how to handle social situations, but it turned out Chu Tian had already arranged everything perfectly.

Since there was no one left to inherit the money, it was indeed most appropriate for him, Luo Tuo, to take it.

However, he still had to keep up appearances; Luo Tuo kept his face solemn, feigning hesitation as he said:

“In that case, let this money stay with me for now.

Once the killer is found, I will take it out and use it to reward whoever avenges Da Mi.

What do you think?”

As he spoke, Luo Tuo kicked the ball back to Chu Tian.

“That would naturally be the most appropriate course of action!”

Chu Tian cursed the old fox inwardly, but still replied with a smile.

Luo Tuo’s smile deepened upon hearing this; he beckoned to a subordinate nearby,

who immediately closed the briefcase and took it away.

Seeing this, Chu Tian curled the corners of his lips upward and said with a smile:

“Master, I would like to ask you about something, if that’s alright?”

“Of course, just ask!”

Having just received five million for nothing, Luo Tuo was in high spirits and replied heartily.

Upon hearing this, Chu Tian spoke up immediately:

“Master, you previously sent word that if Emperor and I could withstand the joint offensive of Hong Xing, Wo Wo Liansheng, and Zhongxinyi, you would choose one of us to be the Speaker of the Dapu District.

Now, after Emperor’s battle with the Hong Xing people, his whereabouts are unknown, while I have driven the four major factions, including Hong Xing, out of the Dapu District and achieved a total sweep of the area.

Regarding the position of Speaker, I wonder…”

Having said this, he paused, looking at Luo Tuo with a smile; his meaning was already perfectly clear.

ps: This is the fourth chapter of the day, there will be more bonus chapters later. Also, requesting data: please send flowers, evaluation tickets, and monthly tickets.

"Good fellow, so this is where he was waiting for me!"

Camel took a deep look at Chu Tian.

No wonder he had sent five million over first thing in the morning.

So it was for the position of Dapu District leader.

"No, it wasn't for the leader's position, but to curry favor with me!!!"

Camel had roamed the underworld for decades; what kind of people hadn't he seen, what kind of situations hadn't he encountered? Now, thinking it over carefully, he immediately understood Chu Tian's deeper intent.

He knew that Chu Tian must be certain that since he had now achieved a clean sweep of Dapu District, the position of leader was already in the bag.

The reason he was asking about the candidate for leader now was merely to allow Camel to accept the five million with a clearer conscience.

"He really knows how to handle people. How come such a talent was so obscure before???"

Camel looked at Chu Tian, his eyes filled with shock, while his heart was also filled with doubt.

"Boss Camel?"

Seeing Camel dazed, Chu Tian reminded him with a smile.

Camel finally snapped out of it and said with a beaming smile:

"Since you've already achieved a clean sweep of Dapu District, the position of Dapu District leader is definitely yours.

This afternoon, I will convene a meeting, and at that time, I will promote you to hall master. How does that sound?"

This had originally been Camel's plan, and now he was just going with the flow.

It could also be considered a gesture in response to the five million Chu Tian had sent.

"Then I thank you in advance for your favor, Boss Camel!"

Chu Tian was all smiles.

Just as Camel had thought, he had long since guessed the result of this matter.

The question just now was indeed to let Camel accept the five million with a clearer conscience.

Both were smart men; they looked at each other and shared a knowing smile.

"These are all things you deserve. Keep up the good work in the future!"

Camel patted Chu Tian on the shoulder and said with appreciation.

"Don't worry, Boss Camel, I will definitely work hard and not bring shame to Eastern Star!!!"

Chu Tian smiled as he exchanged pleasantries with this old fox, Camel.

"Hmm! That's good. But you should also be careful lately.

You swept the people from the four factions—Hung Hing, Chung Shun Yee, and the others—out of Dapu District; they will most likely send people to retaliate against you."

Camel warned with a grave expression.

"I know that. I've already arranged for people to keep a guard against them."

"That's good!" Camel looked at Chu Tian. Chu Tian was a smart man; he must have guessed that those four major societies would deal with him later and had surely made preparations early.

With Chu Tian's ability, there was no need to worry about general situations; he believed Chu Tian could handle them.

He only feared that if the leaders of the four major societies took action personally to get even, that might be a bit troublesome.

Hung Hing had Chiang Tin-sang, who might not do it, but Chung Shun Yee's Lin Lin Haolong did not have a good temper.

Thinking of this, Camel added:

"But you don't need to worry too much. When the time comes, I'll give the leaders of the four major societies a call and tell them not to go too far!"

Chu Tian was a talent who knew how to conduct himself and how to handle affairs.

Therefore, Camel also decided to give Chu Tian a hand.

"Then thank you, Boss Camel!"

Chu Tian's smile grew even wider; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Although he wasn't very afraid of the retaliation from the four major societies,

the fact that Camel was willing to call the leaders of the four major societies for him already represented Camel's attitude.

And Camel was the leader of Eastern Star; since Chu Tian was now working under Camel,

he could only continue to climb higher if he gained Camel's recognition!!!

Afterwards, Chu Tian chatted with Camel for a while longer before taking his leave.

……

At the same time,

at the top of Victoria Peak, inside a luxurious villa,

Da B, Chen Yao, Chen Haonan, and Pheasant were sitting around a white plastic table, on which sat a plate of fresh watermelon; the group was eating and laughing.

Not far from them was an outdoor swimming pool.

In the pool, a beautiful woman was swimming.

The beauty had a very nice figure; while in the water, she was like a mermaid, stretching her devilish figure to the extreme.

Pheasant, who had a buzz cut, stared unblinkingly at the beauty in the pool and said lecherously:

"I bet that chick must be Mr. Chiang's woman!"

Seeing Pheasant's unworldly appearance, Da B couldn't help but laugh and scold:

"When you become a boss and make money, you'll have as many women as you want."

"Ah, ah!"

Pheasant nodded perfunctorily, but he still kept turning his head to look at the beauty in the pool, unable to take his eyes off her.

Just then,

from the room next door, a man with a buzz cut, a burly build, and an imposing manner walked out.

Seeing this, Haonan couldn't help but say:

"I couldn't tell, Mr. Chiang is actually so fit."

Hearing this, Pheasant quickly turned his head back. Although he was lecherous, he wasn't stupid.
