Chapter 426: Chapter 456: Wealthy and Capricious

Fang Yi really went to relieve himself and felt much more comfortable. When he returned to the private room, Ma Yong and the other two became even more enthusiastic, almost to the point of treating Fang Yi like a dear father.

Fang Yi still acted with utter disregard for the others and assumed the role of a lord. Politeness and gentleness were useless against the likes of Ma Yong and his cohorts. Only by acting like a boss would they treat you like one.

Fang Yi lit a cigarette and casually remarked, "Ah, the cuisine isn’t bad, but how come there’s no special program?"

Ma Yong and the other two were taken aback at first, but then they caught on. The chubby middle-aged man said with a smile, "Look at what you’re saying, Minister Fang, how could there be no special program? There are plenty of special programs."

With that, the chubby middle-aged man stood up and went outside the private room, returning shortly after.

"Minister Fang, please wait a moment. The special program will start shortly."

"Hurry up. My time is really precious," Fang Yi said nonchalantly.

Sure enough, after a short while, the door to the private room opened, and a young girl was brought in.

Yes, she was carried in and then placed in front of Fang Yi.

The girl’s clothes barely covered her body; she was almost completely nude, with fair skin, a slender figure, and everything on display. She lay on the table, which was now piled with food like fruit and sushi, a feast for the eyes.

A hint of imperceptible chill flashed through Fang Yi’s eyes.

The chubby middle-aged man introduced enthusiastically with a smile, "Minister Fang, do you know what this is called?"

Fang Yi feigned ignorance, "I don’t know."

The chubby middle-aged man said, "This is called ’body sushi.’ It’s the most famous dish from White Eagle Country, and even with money, it’s rare to get the chance to experience it. We made a reservation several days ago, and today, we finally have it."

Fang Yi looked left and right and said, "Doesn’t seem anything special. Besides, it’s not very sanitary."

Ma Yong said, "Minister Fang, you’re really out of the loop. It’s very clean, absolutely no dirtiness at all."

Fang Yi said, "Still, I feel very uncomfortable...right, you let this girl lie here with food all over her, have you asked for her opinion?"

This question stunned the three men, and inwardly they cursed, ’Dammit, if you’re offered food, just eat. Why so much nonsense? If someone is willing to lie here, then they must be willing. What are you fussing about?’

However, no matter how much they cursed internally, it didn’t affect Fang Yi in the least.

Ma Yong said with a smile, "Minister Fang is overthinking it. Since she’s lying there, she must be willing. Let’s not talk about this anymore. Minister Fang, please start eating. Why bother yourself with these troublesome thoughts?"

Fang Yi was displeased and waved his hand, "No interest, no interest. You guys eat. I have to leave for other matters."

Seeing this, Ma Yong and the others were worried. They had gone to great lengths today, and now Fang Yi wanted to just leave?

Ma Yong stepped forward to block Fang Yi and gave a meaningful look to the chubby middle-aged man.

The chubby middle-aged man hurriedly said with a smile, "Minister Fang, please wait. There’s more special programming." He quickly ran out of the private room.

In a while, the chubby middle-aged man brought in a White Eagle Country woman.

This White Eagle Country woman wore a kimono, appeared gentle and dignified, with white socks on her feet and her hands modestly folded, revealing the demeanor of a traditional Yamato Nadeshiko.

"Minister Fang, the special program has arrived. How about you stay a bit longer?" the chubby middle-aged man said respectfully.

Fang Yi glanced at the White Eagle Country woman and then said reluctantly, "Fine, I’ll stay a little longer. Make it quick. I’m in a hurry." After that, he sat back down.

Ma Yong gave a look to the chubby middle-aged man, who immediately leaned over and whispered a few words to the White Eagle Country woman’s ear. She nodded in understanding, then boldly ripped open the front of her kimono and knelt down beside Fang Yi.

Fang Yi casually placed his hand on the White Eagle Country woman’s leg, taking advantage of the situation. After all, it was an opportunity served on a platter, and not taking it would be idiotic.

Fang Yi’s gaze shifted, landing on the chest area of the White Eagle Country woman, where he could see the black lace bra inside.

Fang Yi’s demeanor turned lecherous, a sight caught by Ma Yong, who then took out a bank card, holding it respectfully with both hands and presenting it to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi pretended to be puzzled, "What’s this about?"

Ma Yong said with a smile, "There’s fifty thousand in there, just a small token of my appreciation."

Fuck, you think you can fob me off with just 50,000 yuan? Fang Yi’s face was stone-cold as he refused to accept it.

Ma Yong was taken aback, then chuckled, "Sorry, I got the wrong card." He quickly produced another bank card, smiling, "Minister Fang, there’s 200,000 in this one. Would that be acceptable?"

That’s more like it.

Suddenly 200,000 yuan richer for no good reason, Fang Yi took the bank card. After all, it was free money, and as he accepted the card, Ma Yong cursed Fang Yi’s greediness in his heart even as he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Minister Fang, our cooperation with Tianyi Company this time—we hope you can put in a few good words for Childe Company." The money was handed over, naturally it was time to talk business, considering the difficulty in earning that money.

Fang Yi glared and said, "Do you take me for someone who breaks his word? ’Accepting money to ward off misfortune for others’—I understand perfectly. You don’t need to lecture me."

Seeing Fang Yi on the same page, Ma Yong relaxed a bit...

...

Leaving the White Eagle Country restaurant, Fang Yi stood at the door, pulled out his mobile phone, and dialed a number.

"Is this the Vice Squad? I want to report a place on XX Street. You want my name? Just call me ’Good Citizen.’"

After the call, Fang Yi turned and left.

On the road, Fang Yi encountered an elderly woman sweeping the street, followed by her little granddaughter. Fang Yi’s heart softened, and he fished in his pocket, brought out the bank card, scribbled the PIN on it, and slipped it into the little girl’s pocket.

Money lets you do what you want.

Accomplish the task and then make oneself scarce, keeping one’s ability and renown hidden. Fang Yi couldn’t help but think, if Ma Yong knew that he had given away the 200,000, what would his expression be?

Speaking well of Ma Yong was just a matter of few words for himself.

Cooperation with Childe Company was naturally on the agenda—otherwise, why would Fang Yi waste so much energy?

Nevertheless, Fang Yi had a simple goal: to oppose Li Xuan.

Of course, screwing the other guy over would be even better!

Yep, Fang Yi was just that petty.

...

Xianghua City.

This place lies in Guangling City, at the border junction of Siluo Country, Gulan, and Wude—three countries known for their pharmaceutical production.

This is a paradise for drug dealers; every year, every month, even every day, large quantities of drugs are produced, generating immeasurable profits.

Thus, military forces are stationed here.

Yes, military forces!

Some are regular armies, and others belong to major drug lords. This isn’t a tiny backyard; the area is vast, far too large for any one person to swallow whole.

Xianghua City, cut through by a river that flows straight past.

In the afternoon, under a fierce sun, at an edge of the Mekong River.

A man with injuries leaped into the water and then swiftly swam towards the opposite bank.

The man’s face was beautiful, even prettier than a woman’s, but now marred with blood and washed by the river’s flow, it became blurry.

Reaching the opposite bank, the man didn’t linger. He dragged his extremely weary body into the jungle and disappeared in a blink.

And in just a few moments, five or six men in combat gear emerged from the woods. Their faces were painted, and from their demeanor, it was clear they had rolled in the mud of war.

"It must be Phantom, damn good at hiding, but thinking you can escape from right under my nose? No chance!"

One man’s lips curled up to reveal a cruel, bloodthirsty grin.
