Chapter 234

In all fairness, Luo Tianhong knew very well that his strength and Ah Ji's were on par.

If he had still been using that previous eight-sided Han sword, Luo Tianhong definitely wouldn't have won so easily. The greater probability would have been falling into a bitter battle with Ah Ji, and in the end, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

With the Chixiao Sword, Luo Tianhong's combat power had at least doubled.

Looking at A Ji's corpse, Luo Tianhong felt fortunate in his heart; it was a good thing he seized the opportunity to defect under Seeing Ni Yongyao's command.

Otherwise, Ah Ji's fate today would have been Luo Tianhong's ending.

After sighing, Luo Tianhong put away the Chixiao Sword, turned to look at the distant Wang Bao Group building, and then left.

In Luo Tianhong's plan, solving Ah Ji was just the first step; next, he would attack Wang Bao's territory in Yau Ma Tei.

Now was not the time to go head-to-head with Wang Bao.

Luo Tianhong knew very well what Seeing Ni Yongyao wanted; Wang Bao wasn't the point, the point was Yau Ma Tei.

Luo Tianhong didn't even look at Ah Ji's corpse, stepped over it, walked straight out of the alley, and then led a large group of men to start sweeping through Yau Ma Tei.

The next day.

Wang Bao Group building.

Top floor, office.

"Boss, something happened."

Wang Bao's confidant, Ah Jie, said.

"What is it?"

Wang Bao asked nonchalantly. In a few days, it would be his son's birthday, and Wang Bao had been in a very good mood recently.

"Ah Ji is dead, and many of our venues were taken out last night."

Ah Jie said.

"What did you say? Ah Ji is dead?"

No matter how good Wang Bao's mood was, his expression changed drastically the moment he heard this.

Ah Ji was Wang Bao's true confidant, and a large part of the credit for Wang Bao's current status belonged to Ah Ji.

Over the years, Ah Ji had done countless dirty deeds for Wang Bao that couldn't see the light of day.

"After Ah Ji handed over the white goods to the people below yesterday, he left the bar alone and then died in an alley. The person who killed Ah Ji was a master of the sword. Ah Ji's short blade was severed, and there was only one wound on his chest; it was a fatal strike."

Ah Jie reported the situation he had obtained in full detail.

"A master of the sword?"

Wang Bao's mind subconsciously conjured up the image of Luo Tianhong. In Hong Kong, the only person Wang Bao knew who met the conditions of being a master of the sword and being able to kill Ah Ji was Luo Tianhong.

However, Wang Bao shook his head again. Luo Tianhong was indeed a master of the sword, but based on Wang Bao's understanding of Luo Tianhong, the latter's strength should be on the same level as Ah Ji's. Even if he could kill Ah Ji, it would have to be after a bitter battle, not a single fatal strike.

"Who swept the venues?"

Wang Bao took a deep breath, temporarily putting aside Ah Ji's death, and asked.

"It was Luo Tianhong. He led a large group of men and suddenly attacked our venues. The people below were no match for him at all. Dozens of venues were taken out overnight."

Ah Jie said.

"Luo Tianhong?"

Wang Bao was shocked upon hearing these three words.

"Could it really be him?"

Wang Bao couldn't help but think, but immediately after, he realized a more important point.

It was common knowledge that Luo Tianhong had defected to Seeing Ni Yongyao, and Wang Bao naturally knew this very well.

In this way, Luo Tianhong's attack on Yau Ma Tei must have been Seeing Ni Yongyao's instruction.

"Damn Seeing Ni Yongyao! I don't go to provoke you, and you insist on exterminating me?"

Wang Bao slammed his fist heavily on the desk and shouted angrily.

Regarding Seeing Ni Yongyao, Wang Bao had initially held an attitude of appreciation, but watching Seeing Ni Yongyao lead the Ni family to rise at a rocket-like speed, it turned into deep wariness.

Especially since Seeing Ni Yongyao had successively annexed Hong Xing and Zhongxinyi, it made Wang Bao see Seeing Ni Yongyao's ambition and strength, and he began to worry if he would become Seeing Ni Yongyao's next target.

For this reason, after meeting Seeing Ni Yongyao, Wang Bao even immediately constrained all his subordinates, telling them not to provoke the Ni family, and even more so not to go to the Ni family's sphere of influence, all to avoid giving Seeing Ni Yongyao an excuse to act.

However, Wang Bao didn't expect that after only a short period of peace, Seeing Ni Yongyao's people would come knocking.

And with the first move, they had crippled his right-hand man.

Now, Ah Ji's death was no longer important; what Wang Bao was more concerned about was how to deal with Seeing Ni Yongyao's subsequent offensive.

Wang Bao was arrogant, but he never thought his influence was already above Hong Xing and Zhongxinyi.

Yet Seeing Ni Yongyao had swallowed both families with ease.

This made Wang Bao clearly realize that relying on his own strength alone, he absolutely could not stand up to the Ni family.

"Must find external aid!"

Wang Bao made up his mind.

"Ah Jie, immediately notify everyone to abandon the venues with little profit and concentrate our manpower on those core venues, and keep a close watch for Seeing Ni Yongyao's people."

Wang Bao thought for a moment and ordered.

"Boss, wouldn't it be too much of a pity to just abandon those venues? After all, this isn't Tsim Sha Tsui; we might not necessarily lack the strength for a battle."

Ah Jie said.

"Don't be impulsive. The most important thing now is to preserve our strength."

Wang Bao patted Ah Jie on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Hold on for a bit; I will contact other triads. I believe they don't want to see Seeing Ni Yongyao monopolize everything either; it's impossible for them to stand by and watch."

"I understand, Boss."

Ah Jie nodded, said solemnly, and then quickly left the office.

Wang Bao took a few deep breaths to calm his mood and then picked up his phone.

Looking at the phone, Wang Bao suddenly remembered that this Galaxy II was a product of the Galaxy Communications Company, and the boss behind Galaxy Communications was none other than Seeing Ni Yongyao.

Thinking of this, Wang Bao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He then thought further that if he wanted to hire bodyguards, the security market in Hong Kong had long been occupied by Black Steel International, and Black Steel International was also Seeing Ni Yongyao's company.

This made the bitter smile on Wang Bao's face even more awkward.

Wang Bao sighed. Even without counting Seeing Ni Yongyao's underground influence, just a single Black Steel International with thousands of employees was not something he could stand up to.

Sometimes Wang Bao even wondered if Seeing Ni Yongyao was really a person from the underworld. Clearly, everyone was doing business like collecting protection fees, valet parking, usury, and white goods smuggling, yet Seeing Ni Yongyao opened companies, and his business grew bigger and bigger.

"Perhaps this is the reason why Seeing Ni Yongyao can lead the Ni family to rise rapidly?"

Wang Bao shook his head and threw these thoughts to the back of his mind. Now the problem before him was that he must seek external aid to deal with Seeing Ni Yongyao's subsequent offensive.

The first one Wang Bao thought of was Dong Xing, which, like Hong Xing, was a veteran triad in Hong Kong.

Wang Bao then left the group building and headed to the Dong Xing headquarters located in Yuen Long.

Dong Xing headquarters.

"Boss, Wang Bao from Yau Ma Tei wants to see you, saying he has something to talk to you about."

Laughing Tiger walked up to Camel and said.

"Wang Bao? What does he want to talk to me about?"

Camel drank some tea, looking surprised.

Camel and Wang Bao had no dealings; he had only heard of the other's name.

"Forget it, I'll have a chat with him."

Camel said and stood up.

However, before he could leave the headquarters, he was stopped by Laughing Tiger, who said: "Boss, I have to remind you that just last night, Luo Tianhong under Seeing Ni Yongyao led men to attack Wang Bao's venues."

Upon hearing this, Camel pulled back the leg he had stepped out and then sat back down in his chair.

"Tell me about things like this earlier next time."

Camel put down his teacup and drank, his tone very dissatisfied.

If he had known earlier that Seeing Ni Yongyao had already made a move on Wang Bao, Camel wouldn't have wanted to talk to Wang Bao about anything.

Ever since he witnessed how Seeing Ni Yongyao rose to power, Camel had decided that as long as it had anything to do with the Ni family, he would not get involved.

Camel saw things clearly; he was old and no longer wanted to fight and kill, only thinking about being stable for a few years and then successfully retiring to Hawaii to spend his old age.

Therefore, when he heard that Seeing Ni Yongyao had already made a move on Wang Bao, Camel's first reaction was to stand by and watch; he absolutely could not get involved.

"Boss, should I still see Wang Bao?"

Laughing Tiger saw Camel only focused on drinking tea and asked.

"See him? See him my ass! Just tell him I'm not here!" ===== CHAPTER 236 =====
