Chapter 98: with translation of chapter title

The big war ended, other clubs suffered no major losses, even profited; only Harmony United Victory was hurt, achieving that outcome.

A Lok suffered the most, becoming an empty-headed Thus line: Leader; if he can't find turf, he won't even be able to hold onto this position.

A Lok sat by the river fishing, striving to calm his emotions, able to think calmly about how to proceed; otherwise, his ending would surely be miserable.

The hand holding the fishing rod trembled, showing how angry he was inside.

Looking at the rippling water surface, he thought through the whole cause and effect, checking where exactly the problem lay and why the outcome turned out this way.

Starting from promising Uncle Deng to give Harmony United Victory's signboard a polish, he has lived each day in a tense atmosphere, never relaxing his mind.

It was also because he himself had been blinded by power, and without hesitation agreed to Uncle Deng's request, letting him handle this; now it's too late to regret.

Now he can only make something from nothing, quickly seize a piece of turf, otherwise the consequences would be unbearable for him.

Seeing the float motionless in the water, he immediately packed up his fishing gear, stood up and went home to cook for his son; today's fish are especially hard to catch!

Just buy a fish and go home!

Unlike A Lok's mood, Fu Toujun held a grand banquet while A Lok was still fishing, entertaining guests from all quarters, being very extravagant.

The outside clouds dispersed, his mood improved as well, and even the internal undercurrents calmed down considerably.

Today is a good day!

It really is a good day; Tianhong picked up two streets, indeed, he picked them up.

Righteous Sea honored the promise, withdrawing all personnel from Tung Choi Wan, handing over to Thus line: Prosperity.

Tianhong looked at the Big Brother beside him and asked doubtfully: 'Big Brother, do we no longer need to fight for turf? Is it just a matter of picking it up?'

'Mm, being able to pick up turf is also your ability; nothing is impossible. As long as you know what others need and happen to be able to provide it, you can get what you want. Isn't that great? Why go to the trouble of fighting to the death?'

Li Xin answered lightly, as if it were a completely normal matter.

'Then, will the Tung Choi Wan hall still expand in the future?' Tianhong asked.

'It's impossible to expand further; you already occupy one-third of the turf, and if you tried to expand, others would attack you—no need to invite trouble.'

'This expansion, others can't complain; this turf was unwanted by others, you picked it up, they were just unlucky—there's nothing to be done.'

Li Xin's statement is also fine; indeed, it wasn't seized by force, there wasn't even a fight, he simply took over the turf.

It's no different from changing turf; the only difference is that Tianhong took over Lin Huailok's turf.

After all, after the swap, whose turf is whose differs! They're all brothers of the jianghu.

Don't be so clear-cut about it!

The turf handover went smoothly; Righteous Sea's owned bars and nightclubs were all taken over by Tianhong, paid at market price, settled the same day.

Ma Wang looked at Li Xin with a complex expression and said: 'Brother Xin, if you ever come to my turf to open a shop, just say hello; I'll definitely look after you, no problems at all.'

Ma Wang was truly frightened; without major warfare, he used a few underhanded moves, and Lin Huailok outright lost his turf.

Even now, perhaps they still don't know what happened; they just became a bald-headed Thus line: Leader in a daze.

This tactic really scared him; the jianghu isn't played like this!

No need for fighting and killing?

Under the strategy of alliances and counter-alliances, Lin Huailok had no chance to resist and simply went down.

He patted Ma Wang's shoulder, Li Xin smiling: 'Ma Wang, since you're giving me this face, I'll certainly accept; afterward, I'll tell the brokerage firm to open a shop in Zuodun.'

'Also, don't worry about me dealing with you; as long as you don't provoke me, out of respect for Chai Shu, I won't cause you trouble—put your heart at ease.'

Ma Wang hurriedly thanked him repeatedly, saying, 'This Immortal Trust, I dare say, he wouldn't even dare to believe it.'

This tactic is damn scary!

Watching Ma Wang walk away.

Tianhong asked again: 'Big Brother, how did Ma Wang's attitude change so quickly?'

'Earlier when we came here to open a shop, he acted like his mother had died; after just a few days, he became talkative and even invited us to open a shop on his turf—has he gone senile?'

Putting an arm around Tianhong's shoulder as they walked back, he explained: 'He was frightened; from now on, whenever he thinks of me, he will involuntarily feel fear from the bottom of his heart.'

He isn't afraid of fighting and killing; that's normal in the jianghu, no jianghu person fears such tactics, but when you don't even know who the enemy is and you just get taken out in a daze, who wouldn't be afraid!

The open enemies aren't scary; it's the hidden old silver coins that give people headaches.

Tianhong glanced at the Big Brother, then quickly looked away, lest he be discovered; otherwise, getting beaten wouldn't be worth it, would it?

Li Xin didn't notice Tianhong's little move; even if he had, he wouldn't have done anything else—just teaching him boxing.

Young people need to train more!

These past few days he hasn't returned to his home in Xi Gong; he's been staying at the Crown Prince in Pointy Sand Mouth, and now that he's free, he hurriedly called Jianjun and the other two to go home.

Just as he was about to go through the Red Hill Tunnel, his big brother (phone) rang; he answered and listened for a moment.

He said to the driver, Jian Guo: 'Go to the Courageous Restaurant.'

Upon arriving at the Courageous Restaurant, everyone along the way greeted him.

'Brother Xin!'

'Brother Xin!'

'Brother Xin!'

Li Xin kept walking, but his smile was reserved for those who greeted him.

Don't look down on anyone; this is his advice to himself, perhaps that day will come when he needs to rely on others, clutching at Buddha's foot in a pinch.

Really low-class!

For example, Chen Yao's failure.

When there's business, they greet you with a smile; when there's none, they don't even know who you are.

Behaving like this! When there's good fortune, I know who you are!

Waiting for him to arrive at the reserved private room, inside sat several heavyweight figures.

New Record Old Xu, Second Route Marshal Xu Bo.

He Lian Sheng, Thus line: Leader, Chui Ji, retired emperor Deng Fei.

Yi Hai Chai Shu, Hall Master of the Rites Hall Gen Shu.

Thus line: Prosperity dragon head Jiang Tian Sheng, today he came as a mediator.

What a comedy film!

Lao Xu, Chai Shu, Jiang Tian Sheng, Deng Fei, several people at one table, were drinking tea and chatting, you couldn't tell at all that there had been any friction among the families.

Li Xin had greeted everyone, and of his own accord came to Gen Shu's table.

Just after sitting down, Xu Bo laughed and asked, "A Xin, I heard your disciple Luo Tianhong just picked up two streets in Copper Gong Bay?"

"Mm, Bo Ge, you're so well-informed, you already know about what just happened," Li Xin replied with a smile.

Gen Shu also couldn't help laughing and teased, "A Xin, you just picked up two streets in Copper Gong Bay as soon as you went out, are you feeling especially good? Today you have to buy drinks!"

"No problem, Gen Shu, you pick the place, I'll pay, soon Bo Ge and Chui Ji Ge will go too, let's have a lively time, any objections? Chui Ji Ge!"

Li Xin, you rascal, intentionally greeted Chui Ji to go celebrate together.

The panda was hungry and crying 'wah wah'!
