Chapter 242: Sweeping Chiang Mai Province
Although Simon was the champion of the previous session's 'Ancient Thai War'!
At the same time,
he was also the former top 'Muay Thai King' of Thailand South!
But his inner heart was filled with dread toward Chen Jie.
For some reason,
when sensing that fierce aura emanating from Chen Jie's body, Simon's inner heart produced a powerful crisis.
He even simulated the intense clash between himself and Chen Jie on the boxing ring.
In the end he had to admit that his chance of defeating 'Qinglong' was less than forty percent!
At this time,
when seeing his younger brother 'Equator' Xisi, who would face China's 'Qinglong' in the 'Ancient Thai War' underground betting semi-final,
Simon's heart had a thread of bad premonition.
But,
in terms of physical talent, he had more advantage than his elder brother 'Simon'.
He did not care about the future path of martial arts, did not fear death, he only cared about the result of this battle.
Additionally,
the outer banker managed by Fatty Wang Hou made a huge harvest this time.
So,
in the upcoming underground betting semi-final, he would go all out!
……
He believed he could definitely sweep the entire Southeast Asian Martial Arts World.
But he was very young, only twenty-three years old this year.
And he felt subjectively that his peak combat power was not much weaker than his elder brother 'Simon'.
In terms of funds, he was no longer controlled by anyone.
Only by giving up everything could he turn the tables in adversity.
Although he was tall, like a Polar Bear.
Chen Jie, with an aggressive fighting style, KO'd and crippled Central Asia's top expert 'Iron Blood Warrior' Glevsky on the spot, advancing to the underground betting semi-final.
Obviously,
although he had cut off his own future path of martial arts.
But,
he had no way out, could only move forward bravely.
'Equator' Xisi felt he did not have much confidence, this semi-final was very dangerous.
He had always been full of confidence in his own strength.
But could greatly increase his chance of winning this battle.
Chinese people are heart-cruel hand-spicy; if he did not let his strength break through to the Fifth Surge Period, it would be more ominous than fortunate.
Forcibly stimulating the body's potential, letting his strength enter the Fifth Surge Period, was the simplest and crudest method.
With Wang Hou's various channel layouts in Southeast Asia.
He was very clear in his heart that with his current strength, facing China's 'Qinglong', he almost had no chance of victory.
Wanting to win the 'Ancient Thai War', wanting to advance to the final finals, wanting to take out the Chinese people.
'Equator' Xisi never thought that he would actually have to forcibly activate potential.
So,
'Equator' Xisi had always believed that the achievements he would obtain in the future would not be much lower than his elder brother's.
At least,
then, there must be some sacrifice.
Exhale!
'Equator' Xisi nodded, and said in a deep voice:
"Fine! There are still twenty days of time; I will immediately start preparing to forcibly stimulate my body's potential, letting myself break through to the Fifth Power Surge Period."
In the not-too-distant future, perhaps he would have to fight China's 'Qinglong'.
He did not dare to make any move against the Qinglong Society, could only watch him leave Bangkok and return to Chiang Mai.
Because Chen Jie ended the fight within half a minute, the outer banker was completely wiped out.
Next day afternoon.
Inside the Conference Hall on the second floor of the Qinglong Valley Base.
After the boxing matches ended, the elites of the Qinglong Society returned together to the Qinglong Valley Base.
Even though Vincent hated Chen Jie to the point of gnashing his teeth.
The various forces of Southeast Asia could only watch Chen Jie bring the Qinglong Society's personnel away, with no one daring to act rashly.
Southeast Asia's 'Ancient Thai War' Quarterfinal Battle ended.
At this moment,
he himself also felt that he urgently needed to understand China's 'Qinglong's' offensive and defensive weaknesses.
But unfortunately, this time his campaign in the 'Ancient Thai War', he met China's 'Qinglong' in the semi-finals!
Since witnessing China's 'Qinglong's' strength after.
Chen Jie had Wang Hou responsible for the next boxing match's preparation work and outer banker affairs in Bangkok.
The others gathered together and began discussing the Qinglong Society's next development plan.
Not long after the meeting began.
Ba Te, who had hurried over from Chiang Rai Province and arrived a few minutes late, came in from outside without saying much, directly handing Chen Jie an invitation card.
"Dragon Head, Liu Zhi, the Person in Charge of the Liu Family's 'Yin Wan Fu' in Chiang Rai Province, has sent an invitation card, asking our Qinglong Society's Dragon Head to attend an appointment."
"Eight o'clock tomorrow night, Chiang Rai Province's 'Silver Dollar' Gambling Den Grand Hotel!"
Ba Te's expression was somewhat grave.
To be honest,
after the Qinglong Society cleared out the 'Yuanzhai Bar' in Chiang Rai Province.
Ba Te was stationed in Chiang Rai Province, and facing the various other forces, relatively speaking, the pressure was indeed great.
Fortunately, he had the Qinglong Society Headquarters backing him from behind; otherwise, any force wanting to establish a foothold in Chiang Rai Province would not be such a simple matter.
Chen Jie opened the invitation card and glanced at it, saying calmly: "It seems the various forces in Chiang Rai Province can no longer sit still."
Qilin said disdainfully: "What do they want? Attend an appointment, attend what appointment? Ignore them, let's see what they can do to us?"
Li Chengze shook his head, took out a surgical knife, trimmed his own fingernails, and smiled faintly as he said:
"There are two kinds of attending an appointment: either they want to give our 'Qinglong Society' a show of force, or they want to cooperate with us!"
"But I think the Liu Family's influence in Chiang Rai Province is not low; them inviting us to attend an appointment should be the first purpose."
"For these old forces in Southeast Asia, our Qinglong Society is after all just starting out."
Chen Jie frowned and said in surprise: "They sent me an invitation card, did they say what they want to discuss?"
Ba Te shook his head and replied:
"They didn't say specifically what matters to discuss, only that they want to treat our Qinglong Society's Dragon Head to a banquet."
"But according to the news we gathered, this time the Liu Family's Person in Charge Liu Zhi is holding a grand banquet for our Qinglong Society, and their aim is not small."
"He is treating us at the 'Silver Dollar'; in terms of scale, it can already be considered giving our Qinglong Society plenty of face."
Shen Yan, sitting nearby, suddenly asked: "Ba Te, I remember the 'Silver Dollar' is not a Liu Family property, right?"
Ba Te nodded and said:
"That's right, the 'Silver Dollar' was originally a 'Gambling Den' hotel opened by a China Bay Islander, unfortunately it was taken a fancy to by the Southeast Asian Liu Family."
"It is said that that Bay Islander boss disappeared without a sound or trace, and still no one has been found to this day."
"Now the 'Silver Dollar' is behind the scenes belonging to the Liu Family's 'Yin Wan Fu', and can be considered Chiang Rai Province's top-tier 'Gambling Den' hotel."
"To expand influence, the 'Silver Dollar' has let many Southeast Asian forces invest, including 'Tianyuan Group' and the Southeast Asian Ming Family's 'Jin Bi Hui Huang'!"
"So, all along, the 'Silver Dollar's' business has been the hottest in Chiang Rai Province, and their 'Gambling Den' business is also one of the hottest hotels in all of Southeast Asia."
Another Person in Charge of the Twelve Halls sitting nearby laughed and said:
"The name 'Silver Dollar' doesn't sound good; if in the future it is absorbed into our 'Qinglong Society', changing the name to 'Yinlong', what do you all think?"
At this moment,
'Tu Lang' Labuzan reminded in a voice:
"Dragon Head, the Chiang Rai Province Liu Family's influence is not low, and 'Yin Wan Fu' is even a famous Large Faction in Southeast Asia."
"This time they invite us to the 'Silver Dollar'; if they set a trap to deal with us, inside is their territory, and we will be in great danger."
"Also, since we seized the 'Yuanzhai Bar', the Big Knife Team's side has not made any moves."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Big Knife Team should have cooperated with the Liu Family's 'Yin Wan Fu'; they joining hands to deal with our Qinglong Society, the situation is not good for us."
After speaking,
everyone around couldn't help but secretly nod.
A Middle Eastern Iraqi of the Twelve Halls named 'Bao Bear' Kaross coldly snorted and said:
"Could it be we would still fear them joining hands? Even if they ambush several hundred people inside the 'Silver Dollar', with our equipment and combat power."
"Once conflict occurs, I guarantee to take down the 'Silver Dollar' within half an hour!"
This 'Bao Bear' Kaross was the same type of person as Qilin, competitive and fond of fighting, with a warrior factor in their bones.
Hearing there was a battle, their whole body's bones would itch.
Chen Jie glanced at everyone around and said in a deep voice:
"Our Qinglong Society wanting to establish a foothold in Southeast Asia absolutely cannot retreat."
"Although before this, our development went very smoothly, almost encountering no obstacles."
"But now the situation is completely different; as we grow, every step we take must be careful and cautious!"
"The various forces of Southeast Asia all have their gaze fixed on us; as long as we take a wrong step, then next, they will soon swallow us up."
"In the future we will definitely need to station points all over Southeast Asia; everyone needs to be able to stand on their own."
"So, everyone must be even more careful; when things happen, must remain calm, understand?"
Seeing Chen Jie's stern expression, everyone nodded.
Indeed,
the Qinglong Society's development had been smooth sailing, causing many people's hearts to begin swelling.
If this continued, once an abnormality appeared.
The entire Qinglong Society would suffer heavy losses.
Ba Te nodded and said:
"Dragon Head, rest assured, we will be careful."
"But last time after we liquidated the 'Yuanzhai Bar', it might have made the Liu Family feel worried."
"They plan to invite you to personally attend the appointment tomorrow; very likely they want to test our strength and weakness."
"If we display enough strength, they might want to cooperate with us, mutual benefit, each giving out a portion of shares, letting everyone make money."
"These days aren't like the past, where they'd open fire at the drop of a hat; now it's all about win-win cooperation!"
"Although our Qinglong Society has only emerged recently, our development has been very strong; we directly took down the 'Yuanzhai Bar' under the 'Tianyuan Group', and they're probably also worried we'll make a move on 'Yin Wan Fu' next."
"Barring any accidents, tomorrow at the 'Silver Dollar', they'll definitely have an ambush set up with quite a few people."
"If we manage to reach an agreement with them in the end, perhaps it'll be cooperation, everyone will be partners from then on, and all will be happy."
"This would not only benefit the Liu Family's 'Yin Wan Fu', but for our Qinglong Society, it's equally beneficial."
"Of course, the other possibility is that they feel they can swallow us whole and will move against us directly — that would be very troublesome!"
"When that time comes, we'll very likely have to fight a major battle with the Liu Family's 'Yin Wan Fu' in Chiang Rai Province."
Ba Te said all this in one breath.
It was very obvious
that during this period holding down the fort at the 'Yuanzhai Bar' in Chiang Rai Province, he had grown somewhat as a whole person, considering things more comprehensively.
Just then,
Qilin, sitting next to Chen Jie, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then asked:
"Dragon Head, that — what's the Bai Family's attitude?"
Over in Southeast Asia Thailand Bangkok, Wang Hou was leading people in charge; Qilin had returned to Qinglong Valley.
After all, the Qinglong Society was formed from within the 'Wa State Concentration Camp', and behind it indeed loomed the shadow of the 'Bai Family'.
Actually,
whether it was the Big Knife Team or the Tianyuan Group, they hadn't acted rashly for this long.
The most important reason was that they wanted to know the 'Bai Family's' attitude.
Chen Jie smiled faintly and said:
"The Bai Family side is easy to speak to; they told us to go all out."
"I have an agreement with Bai Fengcheng: if I sweep the entirety of Chiang Rai Province within three months, then in the future whenever we need manpower, we can directly mobilize from the 'Wa State Concentration Camp'."
"If we can't sweep Chiang Rai Province within three months, our Qinglong Society will have to become a force under the Bai Family's command from then on, and obey their deployment."
"There's one more thing: Bai Fengcheng is going to arrange for a young girl to come to our Qinglong Society recently; you all had better behave yourselves."
"For the time being we still can't tear face with the Bai Family; after all they've helped us and consistently supported our development, we can't be ungrateful and burn our bridges!"
Upon hearing this, Qilin's eyes instantly widened, and he exclaimed in surprise:
"What do you mean? The Bai Family is arranging a young girl to come to our Qinglong Valley?"
"No way — Bai Fengcheng really intends to make you his son-in-law? Is that girl pretty or not?"
Chen Jie shook his head helplessly and said:
"How would I know? I've never met her!"
"Alright, let's not discuss this; we'll talk when she arrives."
Qilin laughed heartily and said: "Tomorrow we'll go to the 'Silver Dollar' in Chiang Rai Province first, and clash with the Liu Family's 'Yin Wan Fu'!"
"If they don't know what's good for them, we'll take the opportunity to finish off the 'Yin Wan Fu' in Chiang Rai Province, as a greeting gift for the Bai Family girl!"
"Who knows, this Bai Family girl might become our 'Big Sister-in-law' in the future!"
Ba Te also nodded smilingly and said: "Actually, our choice to expand from Chiang Rai Province first was very correct."
"Especially the timing, chosen extremely well — it just happens to be when the 'Ancient Thai War' kicks off, and everyone's attention is on the Bangkok 'Ancient Thai War'!"
"We take advantage of this opportunity to sweep clean the whole of Chiang Rai Province, and the various major forces in Southeast Asia will definitely be stirred into a sensation!"
"One battle to fame! As long as we occupy 'Chiang Rai Province', other forces wanting to deal with us will all have to look at our face."
Beside them, 'Tu Lang' Labuzan hesitated a moment and said:
"Once Southeast Asia falls into chaos, the Tianyuan Group, the Liu Family, the Ming Family and several other major clans probably won't let it rest."
"Although our Qinglong Society's comprehensive strength is very strong, two fists are hard-pressed against four hands; facing so many enemies at once, the situation is unfavorable for us!"
Shen Yan said disdainfully: "No need to worry about that; they're not that united, and besides, we don't need to make enemies of all of them at once — we can defeat them one by one, just like this time —!"
Chen Jie smiled and nodded:
"Everyone, don't forget, we're not fighting alone; once I sweep the 'Ancient Thai War', then we can negotiate with the Thai Royal Family."
"Haha — our identity will be different from then on, and we might even obtain a 'Regular Army' status!"
Hearing this, everyone was instantly stunned.
Right — almost forgot, this session of the Southeast Asian Martial Arts World's 'Ancient Thai War' has a Thai Southern Royal Princess as the prize.
As for whether this Thai Royal Family 'Princess' actually exists as a person?
Actually, it's already not important!
As long as Chen Jie wins the championship at the 'Ancient Thai War', the Qinglong Society will have the chips to negotiate with the Thai Royal Family.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter —!
