Chapter 7: Young Demon Slave

To their surprise, the smile on Dalao B's face did not fade; instead, it grew even wider:

"A Jun, don't worry!"

"As a Big Brother, I won't treat any of my brothers unfairly."

"How about this: there are three bars on Lockhart Road that are company assets. From now on, I'll hand them over to you to look after. You, Dumu, and Lao E will each take one."

"Also, that Hawaii Bathhouse—that's yours to look after too!"

"Just hand in the money to the company every month according to the rules!"

"In a moment, I'll open the Incense Hall to promote you to Straw Sandal. Dumu, you too—promoted to Straw Sandal!"

"As for Lao E, keep working hard!"

In his tone, he was still attempting to recruit Dumu and Lao E. The reason he promoted Dumu to Straw Sandal was precisely to put him on equal footing with Chen Jiajun,

so that the two of them might have a chance to develop a rift in the future and drive a wedge between them.

In truth, given Dumu's strength and contributions, a promotion to Red Pole would have been more than enough.

Don't look down on Babi just because he was a discarded pawn of the Wo Shing; his strength was not something an ordinary Red Pole could compare to.

However, promoting a Red Pole was a major event for the society.

Every time a new Red Pole was established, the Dragon Head had to personally step forward, hold a grand ceremony at Sansheng Palace, and invite people from other societies to witness it, bringing his own Red Pole out to make a name for himself.

In Hung Hing, some important Hall Master positions could only be held by Red Poles.

It could be said that once promoted to Red Pole, one was not far from becoming a Zha FIT Ren.

Under normal circumstances, a hall would only appoint one such "pole."

In Dalao B's mind, the perfect candidate for this "pole" was none other than Chen Haonan.

Chen Jiajun naturally understood what crooked scheme Dalao B was plotting. He stood up, looking moved, and said, "B Ge, I will definitely work hard! I will certainly not let you down!"

He deliberately emphasized the word "work," because Chen Jiajun had already developed a murderous intent.

Da B! Do you think I'm still the same Chen Jiajun as before!?

A dragon has a reverse scale; touch it and you will surely die!

"A Jun, congratulations!"

Chen Haonan was the first to reach out his hand to Chen Jiajun. His smile was bright and his tone was kind; he truly knew how to conduct himself.

"Brother Jun, when I come to play at your venue in the future, you must give me a discount!" Jiaopi and the others also wore smiles.

As for Shanjie, he looked somewhat reluctant.

……

After the promotion ended and the initiation ceremony was performed for Dumu and Lao E, Dalao B brought Chen Jiajun's group to Lockhart Road and introduced them to the managers of the three bars.

"Danny Zai, this is Dumu! Call him Brother Dumu. From now on, the Night Returner Bar is handed over to Dumu to look after." Dalao B introduced Dumu first.

The order of who came first and who came last was very important.

A fierce general like Dumu—who wouldn't like him?

With two such capable lieutenants, Dalao B's heart was already burning with fervor.

As long as Dumu and Lao E truly submitted to him, it wouldn't be impossible to eventually sweep Causeway Bay and achieve a Ching Yee Sik!

Yet, unexpectedly, Dumu kept a cold face, looked toward Chen Jiajun, and introduced him to Danny Zai: "This is my Big Brother!"

"Hello Brother Jun! Hello Brother Dumu!" Danny Zai hurriedly greeted them.

Seeing this scene, Dalao B's expression turned gloomy in an instant, but after a moment, it returned to normal.

Next, he introduced them to the other two bars on Lockhart Road. After a cursory tour, he brought Chen Jiajun to the entrance of the Royal Club. He had already seen it clearly.

Dumu and his men were loyal to Chen Jiajun and didn't care about him, Dalao B, at all.

There was certainly no way to drive a wedge between them in the short term.

Chen Jiajun pretended to know nothing and looked at the increasingly sour-faced Dalao B: "Big Brother B, you seem a bit unhappy?"

Dalao B laughed out loud: "Haha, how could that be? I'm too happy!"

As he spoke, he introduced them to the manager of the Royal Nightclub: "Dakou Fei, this is A Jun. From now on, this venue belongs to him."

"Lanzai Jun? B Ge, are you mistaken?"

"Let Lanzai Jun look after the venue?"

"Haha! Sorry Big Brother B, it's not that I look down on him, but you know, our venue doesn't have male escorts!"

Dressed in a flashy, pretentious manner, Dakou Fei's tone was full of disdain; he even treated Chen Jiajun as if he were applying to be a male escort.

The Royal Nightclub was Hung Hing's busiest venue on Lockhart Road, and Dakou Fei was a Gold Medal Pimp, as well as a Four-Nine Boy of Hung Hing.

Beside him, the Mama-san was chewing gum, also wearing a look of disgust.

Before Chen Jiajun could speak, Dakou Fei continued in a stern voice:

"A Jun, is it? Let me tell you, from now on, I, Dakou Fei, am still the one who calls the shots here!"

"As for you, just be a good Captain of the security team!"

"Other matters have nothing to do with you. The money will still be handed in by me, and I will hand it to the company according to the rules. Everything stays the same."

The Mama-san spat out her gum and stepped forward to size up Chen Jiajun: "Tsk tsk, Lanzai Jun, is it? How about this: I'll pay you ten thousand dollars a month to keep you?"

Dakou Fei immediately chimed in: "Are you mistaken? Setting a price without testing the goods? What if he's just a silver-plated pewter spearhead?"

The two of them spoke with tones filled with disdain and mockery.

A group of nightclub girls, dressed in gaudy and flamboyant clothing, also covered their mouths and giggled.

Facing this situation, Dalao B did not stop them or smooth things over. He wanted Chen Jiajun to retreat in the face of difficulties.

He wanted Chen Jiajun to know his place.

Being a Big Brother isn't that easy!

In the underworld, while fighting skills are important, if you have no brains, you are no different from trash.

Just at this awkward moment, a chorus of uniform voices rang out.

"Boss!!!"

Everyone looked toward the sound and discovered seventy or eighty sturdy men, averaging 1.8 meters in height, lined up in unison, even kneeling and kowtowing directly to Chen Jiajun:

"Boss! We swear to die for you, to go through fire and water!"

At this moment, the entire scene was deathly silent!

In an instant, the entire Lockhart Road was hushed.

All the disdain, mockery, and schadenfreude vanished, leaving behind only incomparable shock and awe!

Dakou Fei stood frozen on the spot, and the Mama-san wore a look of astonishment.

The nightclub girls from before even retreated several steps in fear, some regretting their attitude from just a moment ago.

Even more shocked was Dalao B, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.

There was confusion, surprise, and shock.

'When did he recruit this bunch of lackeys?'

This thought surfaced in his mind; even he, the Zha FIT Ren of Causeway Bay, did not have so many subordinates like this, nearly a hundred muscular men standing 1.8 meters tall.

These lackeys were actually all recruited by Dumu.

These were common infant demons from Dumu's world, the scavengers of Hell,

the most common things in the Hell Scorched Earth, the lowest-level demons with limited intelligence; to Dumu, they weren't even worth a glance, completely worthless.

Yet, summoned to reality, every one of them was a muscular man!

The reason Dumu recruited so many infant demon lackeys was entirely because he had made a deal with Chen Jiajun.

Any money Dumu earned in the future, Chen Jiajun could convert into Universe Coin for him free of charge.

After all, Chen Jiajun possessed the system and was the one who summoned him.

If Chen Jiajun did not agree to exchange for Universe Coin, Dumu could do absolutely nothing about it; after all, the system's iron law stated that summoned entities were not allowed to harm their host.
