Chapter 109: Saiyang's Services

"Mr. Lu, the connection between us is far deeper than you might think."

Fan Er did not mind Lu Chen's questioning; with a smile on his face, he took a puff of his cigar, then leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs.

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

Lu Chen paused slightly, frowned, raised his eyelids, and continued preheating his cigar.

"From the moment you started building your security department, we noticed it—or to be precise, we noticed Liu Xiaofeng."

Fan Er squinted his eyes, a faint smile still lingering on his face.

"As a student who graduated from the European Special Officer Academy, how could no one have noticed him?"

"Your subsequent performance indeed exceeded our expectations; you are worthy of being the tough guy capable of taming Liu Xiaofeng, but..."

Fan Er did not wait for Lu Chen's reaction and continued speaking.

"Your people don't seem to have grasped the essence of command; would you like us to send someone to help you train them?"

Lu Chen froze for a moment, his hand preheating the cigar pausing slightly.

The sound of Luosha lightly tapping the armrest interrupted Fan Er just as he was about to continue speaking.

Fan Er frowned slightly, forcibly holding back the words he was about to blurt out, leaving only a trailing sound.

He took a deep drag of his cigar.

"No need, I am very satisfied with my team."

Lu Chen took a puff of his cigar, frowned, and a flash of sharp light crossed his eyes.

His fingers exerted slight pressure, and the knuckles holding the cigar turned somewhat white.

"Since Miss Luosha doesn't like it, then let's drop this matter."

After several seconds, Fan Er exhaled the smoke and took a deep look at Luosha.

Only then did he shift his gaze back to Lu Chen.

"Since you are also here, I won't beat around the bush."

Lu Chen glanced at Luosha and saw her nod slightly.

His gaze then fell back onto Fan Er, but he did not speak.

"Mr. Lu, you can take a look at this agreement; if there are no issues, then sign it."

Fan Er took a document bag bearing a special wax seal from his briefcase and pushed it gently toward Lu Chen.

"We at Saiyang can provide you with services including, but not limited to, resolving trouble, creating trouble for your enemies, and item exchange—as long as you have a Stone Tablet Fragment and guarantee that, until your death, the Stone Tablet Fragment is traded only with us at Saiyang."

"Of course, you are free to hold the Stone Tablet Fragment; we can provide appraisal services to ensure it is what we need, and then you can exchange it for the services we provide. Naturally, you can also choose to conceal it, but if we find out, you should have already experienced our services."

After finishing his sentence, Fan Er smoked his cigar in silence.

Luosha glanced at Lu Chen, who was reading the contract, and let out a silent sigh of relief.

She relit a lady's cigarette.

Lu Chen frowned as he looked at the contents of the contract.

How should he put it? It was generous—truly, far too generous.

It could be said that a single fist-sized Stone Tablet Fragment could even topple a small country.

Lu Chen looked with some surprise at Fan Er, who was smoking his cigar.

"How do you appraise the stone tablets?"

After a long while, Lu Chen put down the contract and let out a long breath.

The service content inside was indeed as Fan Er had said; there were no traps.

It even provided non-ambitious content, such as an anonymous account with one billion pounds, or the equivalent in other currencies.

As well as rescue from the Neutral Tavern during certain critical moments, and so on...

It even included terrorist attacks...

It could be said to be all-encompassing; everything Lu Chen could think of was mentioned in the contract.

"Rest assured, as long as you bring out the Stone Tablet Fragment, I will know whether it is what we need."

A hint of a smile appeared in Fan Er's eyes.

"Although we at Saiyang are unconventional in our methods, when it comes to the stone tablets, one is one and two is two. Please trust our strength and our reputation."

Fan Er gestured toward Luosha with his chin.

Then he spoke softly.

"We welcome everyone who has signed the agreement to be present during the appraisal of new fragments; of course, provided you can make it in time."

"Miss Luosha was also a witness three years ago, wasn't she?"

Fan Er nodded slightly at Luosha and then spoke in a low voice.

"It was the first time it had appeared in Xianggang in the last ten years."

"Your actions in Xianggang have caused me a lot of trouble."

Luosha nodded slightly and said with a huff.

"Can you not cause trouble in Xianggang? If it weren't for the fragment appearing, next time I would use my means to send all your subordinates in."

"You are right; I cannot control the actions of those subordinates. If you feel they are in the way, feel free to deal with them as you please."

Fan Er took a deep look at Luosha, took a puff of his cigar, and slowly exhaled the smoke.

After a few seconds, his tone carried a hint of a smile.

"If new actions are needed, I will just transfer more people from the training camp."

"Wodehua has already left Xianggang, and there is no information about the fragments you want in Xianggang now. Keep everything quiet for me; Xianggang is already chaotic enough. If you mess around again, I really won't be polite."

"Since you have provided the intelligence, I will start moving everyone out tonight, leaving only myself as a lone wolf here."

Fan Er froze for a moment, shrugged his shoulders, let out a sigh of relief, and stretched.

"You know me, once I step out of the Neutral Tavern, I'm probably done for; who told me to be a terrorist organization?"

Only then did he look toward Lu Chen.

"Mr. Lu, please, we have no ill will toward you, we are merely inviting you to participate in this exciting game. By the way, after signing the contract, the probability of the Saiyang Organization making a move against you in the future will be only 10%."

"10%? How do you guarantee 90% safety?"

Lu Chen did not pick up the pen, but instead looked at Fan Er.

"When we receive a mission related to you, we will notify you first before attacking. That's fair enough, right?"

Fan Er shrugged his shoulders and spoke softly.

"This is the minimum level of protection we provide for you after you sign the contract."

Lu Chen took a deep look at Fan Er, and after a long while, he signed "Lu Sanbao" on the last page of the contract.

"Aren't you afraid I'll sign a fake name?"

After signing, Lu Chen looked up at Fan Er slightly, then picked up the Cigar resting on the ashtray and took a puff.

"The name itself has no meaning. No matter what you are called, what we see is you, and we guarantee your personal safety, ensuring that you can enter the Neutral Tavern before a Saiyang attack arrives."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, then pushed the contract in front of Fan Er.

Fan Er picked up a pen, signed a string of special symbols on the contract, and pushed it back to Lu Chen's side.

"You can take this contract to any Neutral Tavern globally and find any Saiyang person-in-charge to complete your transactions or request assistance."

Fan Er paused, then spoke with a smile.

"Of course, requesting assistance also has a price; you can weigh that yourself. Generally speaking, once you enter the Neutral Tavern, you are absolutely safe; we at Saiyang are merely providing a bit of insignificant help."
