Chapter 347

He Qiong knows the O Continent aristocratic circle is a mess, but saying you had a one-night stand right in front of me— isn't that a bit too wild?

Entities: He Qiong. O Continent (this is a placeholder for a fictional continent; we should translate it as "O Continent" rather than leaving it romanized).

I have to say, the O Continent aristocratic circle is full of fun, and many enjoyable events have taken place.

Again, O Continent.

For example, the Western Tooth King Charles II, his father married his own paternal uncle's daughter, and gave birth to him.

Furthermore, the Gaul Chicken King Philip IV also married his own sister's daughter.

John Bull King Henry VIII died of syphilis, and moreover married his own brother's wife.

Henry Wirrmot, he has had his way with all the female members of his family, and even held an orgy in the royal palace with John Bull King Charles II, even taking the king to visit brothels.

He is also a player who swings both ways, ultimately dying of syphilis.

Prince Philip, naturally flirtatious with a chaotic love life, has multiple close female confidants, even having relations with the queen's paternal cousin.

His philandering affairs have brought many scandals to the royal family.

Other noble members, such as multiple family members of the John Bull Queen—including her husband, son, and grandson—all have some improper behavior.

Their little scandals can let the worldwide melon‑eating masses eat their fill!

"Miss Alice, as a friend of A Xin, isn't it a bit inappropriate to say these things today?"

He Qiong wore a smile, but the anger in her eyes could not be concealed—this was a provocation toward her.

Alice laughed and waved her hand. "Miss He, you've misunderstood; from childhood on, I have never concealed my thoughts, because no one can make me look after their emotions."

Alice couldn't care less about He Qiong's attitude—let alone He Qiong, even He Xin she doesn't take seriously.

He Qiong laughed angrily at this. "Miss Alice, do as you please; I still have guests to attend to."

Alice shrugged, and after He Qiong left, she muttered quietly, "Li Xin really has no taste—just a few words can anger him; how can he be a good host?"

As a psychology genius, Alice has a few little quirks; she likes to stir up others' emotions, watching them jump about in rage, and she herself feels pleased.

However, she also underestimated He Qiong; seeing her appearance, she basically didn't take her seriously—A Xin is very picky about food.

He doesn't like eating fatty meat!

……

At the entrance of the Far East Club, several officers with badges pinned to their chests arrived.

Li Xin's demeanor was natural; he picked up Chief Zhang's ID and glanced at it.

The other officers who came with Zhang Tie Zhu made no other moves; these people were all transferred from Xi Gong, and they are very familiar with Li Xin.

He said with a smile, "Chief Zhang, congratulations on your promotion."

Zhang Tie Zhu pulled Li Xin to a secluded spot and whispered, "A Xin, thanks for your help; otherwise I'd just be a lateral transfer."

"Say that!"

Li Xin put his arm around his shoulder and continued, "What's our relationship? Saying that makes us sound distant!"

Since I came to Xi Gong, you've never caused me trouble; sometimes you even covered for me—I've kept all that in mind.

You got promoted; I'm genuinely happy for you from the bottom of my heart.

Zhang Tie Zhu laughed; it's not that he specially looked after A Xin—it's just that A Xin knows how to behave and never gave him trouble.

For minor things, he just turns a blind eye.

After more than three years of interaction, a policeman and a club big brother have developed some camaraderie.

Zhang Tie Zhu speaks straight, no beating around the bush: "A Xin, you should know why I'm here; what do you say?"

Li Xin waved at his uncle-in-law A Bai in the distance, waiting for him to come closer.

"A Bai, take Chief Zhang and them to the Earth‑character Hall."

He also said to Zhang Tie Zhu, "Take the brothers to eat and drink well; you just watch what I'm going to do."

Their identities might have a few flaws, but what they do is completely above board—nothing shameful.

The Far East Club is divided into two main halls: the Heaven‑character Hall, which receives business and political figures.

The Earth‑character Hall receives brothers from all over the martial world.

Society is divided into black and white, identities are divided into black and white, and the Far East Club is no exception.

After all, those top merchants on Gangdao all have their own black gloves; mixing with gloves makes them uncomfortable.

Let Chief Zhang take the lead; black and white don't necessarily have to be unable to coexist peacefully.

As the ribbon‑cutting approached, Mr. Cucumber sent someone to deliver a flower basket.

"Mr. Li, Director Li today has an important meeting and can't get away to come in person; please let me convey my apologies, and I hope you'll excuse him."

Upon hearing this, Li Xin smiled on the face but muttered inwardly, "Old Cucumber, you'd better not come to me for help in the future."

Otherwise, I'll be damned if I don't give you a big loss—I'd rather not be a Li!

"Understood, after all Mr. Li is a busy important person; being able to send a flower basket is already giving me face."

"Please convey my thanks; please come inside."

After the ribbon‑cutting, Li Xin chatted briefly with those bigwigs, didn't linger, and turned to go to the Earth‑character Hall meeting room.

As Li Xin's figure appeared in the Earth‑character Hall, greetings rang out continuously.

"Mr. Li!"

"Mr. Li!"

Li Xin returned their salute with a fist‑and‑palm gesture, then took the main seat.

He pressed his hand down and said, "Sit, everyone sit down and talk."

After they were all seated, Li Xin then continued, "Everyone already knows the basic situation, so I won't say more."

"This VCD product can be said to be a cross‑era electronic device; its performance far outstrips other products."

"Well, this guy is shameless; he takes others' ideas and just uses them."

"This time I've invited you all here in order to hand over the agency rights for each region to you."

"The American agent is the Eagle Sauce Hung Men."

Hong Shengwen stood up, clasped his fists in salute: 'I, on behalf of the Hongmen Grand Hall Lin Zonghuichang, thank you, Li Mountain Chief.'

The Hongmen headquarters is located in the United States' San Francisco; the current president is Lin Shen, whose name may be unknown to ordinary people, but in the underworld his reputation is great.

And for San Francisco to become the Hongmen headquarters, one person must be mentioned.

Situ Big Brother!

As the founding ancestor of the Grand Hall, Situ Big Brother is a name remembered by major international organizations.

When he founded the Anliang Headquarters, the President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, once served as his legal advisor.

Although Situ Big Brother resided abroad, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japan, he has been tirelessly working for the cause.

He mobilized the overseas Chinese of the M Continent to actively raise funds; during the fourteen-year War of Resistance against Japan, he donated a total of fourteen million dollars to the domestic cause, passed away in the capital in 1955, and was buried in Eight Treasure Mountain.

Such a grand funeral, in the 'association' there has never been anyone like him before, and perhaps none after.

Apart from Situ Big Brother, among the Hongmen, the only president recognized by all 179 Hongmen branches worldwide is Lin Shen alone.

These 179 branches are those recorded in the headquarters' registers; if we also count those that claim to be Hongmen branches, there would be even more!
