Chapter 53 If the son is gone, then have another one.
Chapter 53 If the son is gone, then have another one.
Ye Tian knew very well.
Right now, the western part of the city is their base.
The Black Fiend Gang is fine, but the Earth Dragon Gang is also eyeing us covetously. After the Poison Fang incident, the Crimson Serpent has sent many people to test our territory recently.
If it weren't for the sudden arrival of Zhuiya and his men, filling the temporary gap in Ye Tian's subordinates, they might have really taken action.
Ye Tian only dared to make his voice heard in the west of the city before he would turn his attention to other areas.
"clear!"
Mei Yongning nodded knowingly.
Although it was a pity that the Wang family's territory was lost, they also knew that it was not something they could interfere with at the moment.
"Oh, right, brother, there's something else I haven't told you yet. I was worried something might have gone wrong. Not long ago, the sect leader, Old Demon, sent a message back!"
"Oh, how so?"
Upon hearing the name "Old Demon," Ye Tian perked up.
This is related to my future weapons business.
"Although he didn't explicitly agree to the deal with Big Brother, Old Demon invited him over, seemingly wanting to discuss things first."
Not surprising.
Before doing business, you definitely need to talk things over; it's not as simple and straightforward as you give money and I give goods.
Moreover, the old demon was indeed very interested to see who this person was who had managed to rise to the position of leader in such a short time.
"Let's meet."
Ye Tian's gaze seemed thoughtful.
"Big brother, should we bring more people with us?"
Although they're all in the same gang, it's not uncommon for people to betray each other in the underworld.
It's normal to be wary of each other.
"There's no need."
Knowing what Mei Yongning was worried about, Ye Tian smiled and waved his hand.
"Bringing too many people makes it seem like I'm afraid of him. We're here to do business, not to fight."
Ye Tian had carefully researched the information about the old demon during this period, which was why he didn't plan to bring too many people.
"Iron Fist, Ghost Foot, you two will come with me then."
This time, Ye Tian...
Only two people are allowed to be brought: Iron Fist and Ghost Foot.
"Yes, brother!"
Iron Fist and Ghost Foot naturally had no objections, their expressions calm, as if this were just a very ordinary matter.
"Big brother, how about..."
Mei Yongning still had some concerns.
Even if we don't bring too many people, wouldn't two people be too few?
"Alright, that's enough. It's just business. We can always stop now. It's not like Old Demon is the only one selling iron ore in Linshui City!"
It's just that making a deal with the old demon is in Ye Tian's best interest right now.
Even if he fails, Ye Tian won't be disappointed. At most, he'll just get rid of the other party if he gets the chance in the future.
"Go and arrange a time."
"I...I understand, big brother."
Seeing that Ye Tian had already said that.
Mei Yongning naturally couldn't say anything more, and in the end could only nod obediently before preparing to arrange a time to meet with the Hall Master, Old Demon.
,,,
at the same time.
At this moment, inside the mansion of Lei Yushan, the owner of Lei's Money Exchange.
Lei Lu's death did indeed make Lei Yushan depressed for a while, but he eventually cheered up. Although his son was gone, he was still alive, and he couldn't just give up on life.
This is not.
Not long ago, Lei Yushan took two new concubines, not for any other reason than to have a son to carry on his family line. He had lost one son, so he could have another one.
But after all, I'm middle-aged.
Lei Yushan, who had just come out of the room, walked around while holding onto the wall with one hand and rubbing his lower back with the other.
I'm really getting old. If it were before, with just two concubines, I would need to lean on the wall to walk.
"Master! Master!"
Just then, a servant came running towards them.
"Master, the eldest master just withdrew another ten thousand taels of silver from the accounting office."
Besides Lei Tang, there was no one else who could be called a "master".
"..."
The little bit of good mood I had just gotten was gone in an instant.
During this period, this was not the first time Lei Tang had obtained money from Lei Yushan, and each time the amount was quite large, at least ten thousand taels.
If this continues, even the largest money houses won't be able to withstand it.
His expression darkened slightly.
Lei Lu's death had always made Lei Yushan very dissatisfied with Lei Tang, and now this incident only intensified his resentment.
"Let's leave that for now."
Now is not the time to completely break ties with Lei Tang.
His own money lending business still needed to rely on Lei Tang's influence. If things fell apart, Lei Tang would lose a stable source of income, but he himself would not fare any better.
Because they are brothers, they understand each other best.
Lei Tang is known for being vindictive and petty; if things really fall out, the other party will likely target him immediately.
"Yes, sir."
The servant dared not say anything more and could only nod.
If ten thousand taels of silver weren't such a huge amount, I wouldn't have come to report this.
Lei Yushan's gaze was thoughtful. Even though he couldn't break ties with Lei Tang for the time being, some strange thoughts inevitably arose in his mind, such as finding another way out.
We can't just keep relying on Lei Tang and letting him take whatever he wants.
"What's become of Ye Tian, that guy I mentioned before?"
For some reason, Lei Yushan inexplicably thought of Ye Tian, whom he had personally visited that day, and heard the news that Ye Tian was avenging Lei Lu, which is why Lei Yushan made the trip in person.
Although he had said that day that he would invite the other party to have dinner at his residence when they had time.
But those were just polite words, and neither Lei Yushan nor Ye Tian took them to heart.
"Well!"
This question surprised the servants standing nearby, who seemed not to have expected Lei Yushan to ask such a question.
After thinking for a while, he finally spoke.
"Master must be referring to Young Master Yu."
"Young Master Yu?"
Lately, I've been busy with the affairs of my two concubines, and all I can think about is continuing the family line. I haven't paid much attention to the current news in Linshui City.
Naturally, he was unaware of Ye Tian's current situation.
"That's right, the peerless benevolent and righteous Young Master Yu's real name is Ye Tian. You probably don't know, but recently this Young Master Yu has become quite famous in the martial arts world!"
Living in a place like Linshui City.
Having been exposed to such things from a young age, it would be impossible for him to be completely ignorant of the forces within the martial arts world.
Everyone knows that it's easier to get ahead in the underworld.
But not everyone is brave enough to fight and take risks. Some people who are afraid of the dangers of the martial arts world can only find a job honestly.
"Making a name for himself? Is he really that famous now?"
Lei Yushan looked completely surprised.
I feel like it's been a long time since I last paid attention to the news in the martial arts world.
"Of course it's loud! I heard that this Young Master Yu recently succeeded in taking over the Flying Cloud Gang's territory and became one of the leaders of the Blackwater Gang. I heard that he already has over a thousand men under his command!"
Recently, there have been too many people coming to pay their respects.
This raised the number of Ye Tian's men to a whole new level.
