Chapter 199

~7 min read 1,334 words

The next day, this matter spread throughout the martial world, leaving everyone dazed.

Big Brother Wen is no small fry; he's a well-known tough guy in the martial world, and yet he was just taken under Prosperity's wing like that?

Upon hearing the details, everyone was speechless—again it's Immortal Trust; can we even still get by in the martial world normally? What kind of trick is this!

In this martial world upheaval, Prosperity didn't gain any territory, but they did snag a martial world tough guy, gaining an advantage!

Origin Bright East Prosperity plot.

After learning this news, Camel kept his eyes closed, deep in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

Water Spirit came and sat not far from him, asking: "What's wrong? We've already achieved our goal; do you still have any dissatisfaction?"

Camel sighed and replied: "Nothing, just wondering why A Xin isn't with our East Prosperity."

He's truly a strange talent in the martial world! In negotiations he can secure a united victory, without even mentioning a Tuen Mun hall; this time, wandering around, he even brought back a tough guy for Prosperity.

From now on, won't all those newcomers trying to make it in the martial world just run off to Prosperity?

Water Spirit laughed and reassured: "Don't worry about these useless things; East Prosperity isn't short of manpower, there's no need to fret over them."

I'm heading back to Malaysia in a couple of days; should I leave Four Seas and Heng Mei with you?

Camel refused, saying: "No need, aside from Ke Le, the Five Tigers are all my people; Ah Wei went to the Netherlands, and I still have Haonan and a few others with me—enough!"

The Splendid Record over in Malaysia has been making big moves lately; if you return to hold the fort, just let me know if you need more hands, and I'll send the Three Phoenixes over.

Water Spirit said: "No need! The Three Phoenixes are your trump card; better keep them!"

East Prosperity's Three Phoenixes have always been mysterious; the outside world only knows their nicknames: Golden Phoenix Jin Meiyu, Silver Phoenix Bai Yuling, and Black Phoenix Heiaojun.

These three have never acted in Gangdao, but in the Netherlands they are famous, their moves clean and swift, their assassination skills extremely strong.

East Prosperity is relatively fine; the most tense is New Record, with the Xu family brothers gathering together for a meeting.

The sole topic: Axe-Head Jun!

Xu Sheng, who had just recently earned his white paper fan, said: "This time Immortal Trust again snatched a tough guy for them; our Brother Jun is on good terms with him, and at this juncture, what are we all saying?"

The sole outsider, New Record's chief steward Jiang Shu, said: "Don't worry about Ah Jun; he won't be able to make a comeback!"

If he tries to make a comeback, his martial world path will be at an end; no gang will take him unless he goes independent, otherwise there's nothing to worry about.

Or let's talk about the chief instructor: recently, the Tiger of East Point, Du Lian Shun, hasn't been stable, jumping around in East Point; what do you all think?

New Record's Second Route Marshal Xu Bo, furrowing his brow, said: "Then I'll act as the beacon; these days I'll go to Ao Island and spread the news."

Xu Sheng hastily advised: "Brother Bo, don't spout nonsense! This won't do; big brother just went into training, you absolutely can't get into trouble again—let me be the beacon instead."

Xu Bo glanced at him and asked: "Do you have enough weight?"

We must stabilize New Record's interior now; Ah Jun won't last long! Everyone's putting pressure on him; we must eliminate Du Lian Shun to ease his burden—there's no other way.

As long as we catch his weak point, even if we can't kill him, we can drive him out of New Record or send him to keep big brother company.

After the meeting dispersed, Xu Bo picked up the phone and called Li Xin directly.

A Xin! I'm Xu Bo of New Record; our cooperative Film City project—will anything go wrong? Give me a straight answer.

Li Xin replied firmly: "There's no change at all; I only recognize the Xu family—if the person in charge isn't surnamed Xu, it won't work."

As for me, A Xin, my word is as solid as a nail; you needn't worry about this—the Film City project and the film company cooperation will proceed exactly as originally planned.

Xu Bo gratefully said: "A Xin, thank you! Your loyalty is remembered by the Xu family; many would kick someone when they're down, but you're the only one who brings warmth in the snow."

As long as the Xu family gets through this crisis, from now on your affairs, A Xin, will be ours; I'll stand on ceremony no more—just like that!

After hanging up, he looked at Xu Sheng and Xu Qiang and instructed: "From now on, get closer to A Xin; if there's any benefit, think of sending it his way—he doesn't like wholesome beauties? Find two top-notch ones and send them over."

Xu Sheng and Xu Qiang nodded, replying: "No problem, Brother Xin's character is beyond reproach; at this time, nobody's kicking him when he's down."

Indeed, Li Xin really hasn't kicked anyone when they're down; he never does anything without benefit. Although New Record currently has some internal strife, the problem isn't serious.

There's no need to do things that harm others and bring no benefit to oneself; besides offering no gain, they easily invite trouble—not worth it.

Seizing the opportunity to sell a favor is the correct choice; moreover, this favor doesn't require Li Xin to do anything—he does nothing, yet it's the greatest support for the Xu family of New Record.

Busy times always fly by; Xi Gong's Film City has already taken shape, with many buildings and scenes now ready for use.

In two days, the opening ceremony will be held; Li Xin pondered, then picked up an invitation.

He stood and said to Jianguo: "Drive to the TVB headquarters; I'll personally deliver the invitation to my old friend."

Jianguo hesitated a moment, then carefully asked: "Boss, bring more brothers along! The two of us going alone would easily get beaten—don't take the risk!"

Li Xin slapped him on the head and said: "You think I'm going to cause trouble? I'm going to discuss cooperation; there are no eternal enemies, and shared interests can turn foes into friends."

The TVB headquarters is located at Number 77 Talented Soldier Street, General's Bay Industrial Estate, Nine Dragons, Gangdao, also known as Television Broadcast City.

After Li Xin got out of the car, he led Jianguo toward the office building, arriving at the front desk reception. He took out a business card and placed it on the front desk.

Smiling at the receptionist, he said: "Pretty lady! Please let Mr. Shao know."

The receptionist picked up the hollowed-out business card, glanced at it twice—the front bore just the two characters 'Li Xin', the back was the phone number.

She immediately knew who he was—the boss of Red Trust Group, who still has some disagreements with our company!

She replied awkwardly: "Mr. Li, you didn't have an appointment earlier, and I can't just decide to announce you on my own—please don't put me in a difficult spot, a lowly employee!"

Looking at the receptionist's troubled, pretty little face, he also had no mood to tease her.

No problem! I'll give him a call.

He picked up the front desk phone and dialed Shao Lao Liu directly; once connected, Shao Lao Liu's voice came through: "What's the matter?"

Li Xin said: "Uncle Six, it's me, A Xin! Long time no see—this isn't because I miss you, right? I've come to see you; do you miss me?"

Shao Lao Liu replied irritably: "I wish you'd just get lost!"

This old man really has no manners!
