Chapter 326

Li Xin pondered for a long time, then said, "Chai Shu, do you think this would work? You few old men retire and come to Xi Gong to enjoy your old age, and I'll have you prop up the Internal Eight Hall."

"Righteous Sea remains Righteous Sea; you can entrust it to Ma Wang, and I'll let Tian Hong know so the two sides can look after each other."

The so-called Internal Eight Hall is the internal post of each mountain peak in the Hung Men.

Principal Mountain Chief (Qian character)

Vice Mountain Chief (Kan character)

Those of the Kan generation include the Incense Chief and Alliance Verifier, two military advisors.

Seat Hall (Gen character)

Accompanying Hall (Zhen character)

Punishment Hall (Xun character)

Execution Hall (Li character)

Ritual Hall (Kun character)

Management Hall (Dui character)

They all evolved from the six ministries of ancient dynasties, roughly the same meaning; since it's a jianghu organization, a bit of jianghu flavor was added.

Chai Shu and Gen Shu heard this and were somewhat speechless; this A Xin!

To discard a perfectly good Righteous Sea, yet want a few old men, and have already arranged their retreat, sending them straight into Vast Development Mountain.

Vast Development Mountain will provide them security, so they have no worries behind them!

Chai Shu turned his head to glance at the "Righteous Sea Hidden Dragon" signboard, then turned to look at Li Xin.

"A Xin, if you can say these words today, Chai Shu, I haven't misjudged you; I'll contact the Eagle Sauce Hung Men side, I won't keep you today, and I'll give you a reply in two days."

Li Xin rose, clasped his fists, and said, "Chai Shu, Gen Shu, you're busy; I'll go back to prepare for the reception."

After Li Xin left, Chai Shu said to Gen Shu, "Let all the hall masters come to a meeting; I have something to announce."

"First summon Ma Wang; I have a few things to tell him."

Gen Shu nodded, "Alright, I'll arrange it."

Zuodun Righteous Sea territory.

Ma Wang received Gen Shu's call, telling him to go to the General Hall to find the Seat Master.

Ma Wang didn't think much, brought his close aides and arrived at the Youmadi General Hall; the two places are not far apart, so he arrived quickly.

Arriving at the photo studio, he smiled and greeted Gen Shu: "Gen Shu, the Seat Master summoned me—what's up?"

Gen Shu pointed to the second floor: "Go up and ask yourself; I don't have time to deal with you."

Gen Shu's tone was a bit impatient; after speaking, he lowered his head to fiddle with an old-fashioned camera, which is rarer than Ma Wang's ability to attract people!

Ma Wang scratched his head and gave a sheepish grin, muttering quietly: "This old guy, did he take the wrong medicine today?"

Don't let his age fool you—Gen Shu's ears are still sharp; he picked up the water cup on the table and threw it at Ma Wang.

He shouted, "You bastard, my ears are fine; if you dare badmouth me behind my back again, you'll regret it."

Ma Wang hastily dodged and hurried up to the second floor—this old guy is not to be provoked!

Even after throwing the water cup, Gen Shu was still not appeased; he slapped the table and pointed at Ma Wang's close aides, cursing.

Got any eyes? Why stand there stupidly? Clean the place up—there's not a single thing that will get done without a horse!

Gen Shu was just taking the opportunity to vent his spite, looking at others like A Xin and at these losers—whatever he looked at, he found displeasing.

Ma Wang's close aides saw Gen Shu was in a bad mood, didn't dare talk back, and hurriedly picked up tools to tidy the place.

Upon hearing Gen Shu's insults, Ma Wang quickened his steps upstairs.

Reaching the second floor, he saw the Seat Master, Da Ma Golden Blade, seated beneath the Righteous Sea Hidden Dragon signboard; Ma Wang was somewhat surprised.

He asked, "Seat Master, why all the formality today?"

Chai Shu pointed to the chair, waiting for Ma Wang to sit down.

Only then did he ask, "Ma Wang, how do you think our Righteous Sea joining Vast Development Mountain would be?"

"Great! That's a wonderful thing." Ma Wang didn't even think before answering.

This time he represented the Righteous Sea, went to Aodao to contend for the casino contracting rights.

This trip to Aodao made him realize one thing: the difference between having backing and not having backing is enormous!

Xin Ge didn't even show up, directly took over the contracting rights for two casinos.

Others, however, have to risk their lives, fighting over the remaining seven casinos.

After saying that, he still felt unsure and asked again: 'Boss, has this been decided? Did Xin Ge agree too?'

Chai Shu was very pleased with Ma Wang's performance, smiling and saying: 'There's a tough point in this matter we can't get past—what do you think we should do?'

Being able to rise from a little brother to a big brother, Ma Wang's head wasn't given for nothing; he immediately understood what the Boss meant.

Xin Ge is notorious in the jianghu as an annoying fanboy; making friends is fine, but truly wanting to establish a cooperative relationship with him.

Don't even think about it!

It's easy to emigrate abroad!

The Righteous Sea also has people in this line of work; if you don't deal with them, trying to enter the gate of Vast Development Mountain is just a fool's dream.

Ma Wang gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with a fierce look: 'Boss, I'll handle this. As long as I can get into Vast Development Mountain's sect, it's fine if we don't do those businesses—Xin Ge never shortchanges his brothers.'

"If one can make money openly and aboveboard, who would want to be a rat in a sewer?"

"Let's not talk about anything else—just one intermediary company, how many brothers' livelihoods has it solved for our Righteous Sea?"

"Even those disabled brothers can watch the door and eat a full meal; this is still a store of our Righteous Sea."

"Xin Ge's Red Xin intermediary company opens a store in Zuodun, and it will also give me a 20% share of worker quotas; for Xin Ge, I'm convinced!"

Chai Shu laughed and said: 'I'm just making a suggestion; you've thought everything through on how to do things, there's progress, but A Xin hasn't agreed to this.'

Ma Wang looked a bit disappointed, then immediately asked: 'Boss, can't we think of a way? Given your relationship with Xin Ge, if we talk it out properly, it should work, right?'

Brother Xin values loyalty; let's first clean up the Righteous Sea thoroughly and show sincerity—this is good for both sides.

In the future, if Brother Xin has any matter, the Righteous Sea will surely back him to the end; our Righteous Sea can also find a strong backer.

At Brother Xin's engagement banquet, the Hall Master you also saw—without mentioning anyone else, just a single Sir Huang would bring us great benefit.

Uncle Chai shook his head upon hearing this, somewhat disappointed; this foolish boy!

Weighing pros and cons is correct, but it also depends on the person; someone like A Xin—you dare play mind games with him? That's basically asking for death!

"Ma Wang, you say A Xin doesn't even give face to the Li Family, so why would he give me face?"

Ma Wang, hearing this, didn't react at once—wasn't he talking about entering Hongfa Mountain?

How did this get dragged into the Li Family?

Uncle Chai saw he didn't understand, then explained: "Ma Wang, do you still remember the Hall of Harmony and Righteousness?"

"Remember, how could I forget? Wasn't it the Sky Rainbow that wiped out all the high-ranking members?"

"The New Shop Pork Head, out of respect for Brother Xin's face, didn't move them, letting them have a place to settle in Garrison Gate."

Ma Wang answered in great detail; in the martial world, just being able to fight isn't enough—you also need to understand all kinds of information.

Otherwise, kicking an iron plate would just cause trouble!

Uncle Chai nodded: "Getting the Hall of Harmony and Righteousness to keep its hall name was the favor I asked for them; A Xin gave plenty of face."

"So from then on, no matter what, I will support A Xin."

"In our future interactions, A Xin has never let me suffer a loss; whenever there's something good, he thinks of me—this is how friends should be!"

"The two words 'friends' aren't just spoken; they're demonstrated through actions."
