Chapter 761: Chapter 760: Dragon Gate World is Very Exciting

There is an old saying among the people, "Commoners do not battle with the wealthy, and the wealthy do not battle with officials," meaning that no matter how rich you are, if a minor official has authority over you, you still can’t win against them.

Sitting in the back of Fleur Carson’s car, Yusuf Zuck’s face grew increasingly icy. His Heaven Ease Investment was probably the largest investment group in the country by now, with a very wide range of hunting ground, truly wealthy. And the one charging at the forefront had always been Marlon Shepherd, who could be considered a newly rising tycoon in the business world. Several years of planning had brought Heaven Ease to an unimaginable level.

But even a business tycoon couldn’t even get a foot in the door at this moment!

Anger flared within Yusuf Zuck, and he said coldly, "Knock him out, and bring Marlon Shepherd here!"

"Okay." Fleur Carson actually feared Yusuf Zuck might lash out and kill, so when he heard Yusuf Zuck’s words, he too let out a deep breath. The two blocking the road were just low-level nobodies, killing them would achieve nothing and only bring bigger trouble.

However, knocking them out would also bring trouble.

Fleur Carson leaped out of the car, then rushed forward like the wind.

There was no spectacular or fierce fight; the two ordinary surveillance staff didn’t even have time to react before Fleur Carson dealt each of them a knife-hand strike, and they slumped to the ground, limp as noodles.

Marlon Shepherd seemed very nervous, talking loudly to Fleur Carson about something as Fleur Carson dragged him away.

As the car door opened and Fleur Carson stuffed Marlon Shepherd into the car, Marlon Shepherd was stunned because Yusuf Zuck was actually sitting in the car!

"Drive," Yusuf Zuck ordered.

"Where to?" Fleur Carson asked.

"Just drive around."

"Boss, you’re finally back!" Marlon Shepherd finally realized what was happening and let out a sigh as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.

"What happened? Got your naughty photos taken?" Yusuf Zuck asked with a smirk that wasn’t quite a smile.

"Hey, don’t even mention it." Marlon Shepherd was clearly embarrassed and scratched his head, continuing, "Now I’m in a bad place, my wife is making a fuss, and there’s an investigation from above. Life is just unbearable!"

"Did you keep a mistress?" Yusuf Zuck asked, surprised.

"I didn’t keep anyone, it’s just... it’s just... we hit it off, and she kept asking me out. Then I couldn’t resist, and we went to a hotel room, just three times, but each time was recorded. Now I understand, that woman was a trap someone set for me, and now she’s disappeared without a trace!"

"That’s not a big deal. You’re neither a party member nor an official. So what if you did keep someone? Tell me more," Yusuf Zuck knew there was more to it; if it was just about being photographed, it would only bring some media pressure at most. No one could do anything to him!

"The main issue is that I acquired some land through this woman. She was the intermediary, and I even had her investigated. There seemed to be no problem with the land, but after acquiring it, I started being investigated. They claimed it was business bribery; then the tax authorities got involved, saying my company was evading taxes, and that the goods in the mall were counterfeits. There are also investigations from the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, saying we are suspected of laundering foreign black money, and that the assets’ origins are questionable, and so on - a whole lot of accusations were thrown at me."

"And this time, it’s serious, not like the minor trouble at New Century Hotel last time. This is a stretch from the national ministries and commissions."

"Of course, they say they’re investigating, but what they actually want are shares. Someone’s been passing messages that they want twenty percent of Heaven Ease’s shares. If I don’t give them up, I will be thrown in jail, and Heaven Ease will face repercussions and all that."

"So who’s behind this?" Yusuf Zuck asked with a cold laugh.

"That’s just it, I still don’t know who’s behind it. I’m completely in the dark, with only an intermediary showing up."

"Then call that intermediary. Say in principle you might agree, but you want to meet their people!"

"They won’t see me!" Marlon Shepherd said, frustrated: "They know our company inside and out. I’ve sent messages through the intermediary before, but they claimed that I don’t have the authority to decide on my own. Without the chairman present, only after the board of directors has made a decision, they said they would talk directly at the company and sign the contract right there and then!"

"They also know I’m not there?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly laughed, impressed by the thorough homework the other party had done.

"Yeah, so major company decisions require the participation of all board members, including your father, sister, Fleur Carson’s wife Mila Vazquez, along with any high-level executives who have corresponding shares in the company—they all have to be present!"

After thinking for a moment, Yusuf Zuck suddenly asked, "Who’s the middleman again?"

"Armando Murillo." Fleur Carson and Marlon Shepherd answered in unison.

"Where’s Armando Murillo?" Yusuf Zuck asked with amusement.

"Don’t know, but I can make a call and find out!" Marlon Shepherd said, raising his phone.

"Then ask where he is, tell him we want to meet him overnight to discuss shares. Go ahead, I want to meet this pimp!" Yusuf Zuck felt a surge of anger, because it hadn’t occurred to him that there were people in this world who were eyeing his company.

"Alright." Marlon Shepherd immediately called Armando Murillo.

The other party’s phone was on, and he was very polite after picking up. When Marlon Shepherd claimed they wanted to meet him for a talk, he laughed and said they could come over; he was at the top level of the Royal Palace Hotel.

"Then we’ll go to the Royal Palace Hotel." After thinking, Yusuf Zuck suddenly picked up Fleur Carson’s phone and then pulled up Pierre’s number.

"Respected master, Pierre is listening!" Pierre immediately answered the call, quite respectfully.

"Lead all the Great Demons to the rooftop of the Royal Palace Hotel. I have matters to attend to, get there immediately!"

"Yes, received." Pierre detected the chill in Yusuf Zuck’s voice, so he quickly responded and hung up the phone.

"Great Demons? What does that mean?" Marlon Shepherd and Fleur Carson looked at Yusuf Zuck curiously.

"It means monsters." Yusuf Zuck laughed. "I brought back fifteen Great Demons from Dragon Gate World, including the Three Claw Dragon, Water Apes, Softshell Turtles, Sea Dogs, Octopus Demons, and so on. They’re all sea monsters who have cultivated into human forms, really powerful ones at that!"

Marlon Shepherd and Fleur Carson almost choked, monsters? Was Yusuf Zuck not joking?

"Oh right, there’s also a leopard demon that plays third wheel, I’ve taken it in..." Yusuf Zuck said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Heavens, Yusuf, you dare to mess with a leopard?" Fleur Carson shrieked.

"Damn, I get nervous playing with a woman, and you’re playing with monsters?" Marlon Shepherd’s previous despondency vanished; with Yusuf Zuck back, he didn’t have to worry about a thing. After all, Dragon Gate was Yusuf Zuck’s, and as long as Yusuf Zuck called the shots, he could relax!

"I’m nothing, now Xiaowu, he’s the real deal!" Yusuf Zuck laughed.

"Xiaowu? You’ve seen Xiaowu?" they asked excitedly.

"Met him in Dragon Gate World’s capital, he opened a brothel called Heaven on Earth, and he’s got over a hundred prostitutes— all his women, spending every night with five or six young girls in his bed!"

"Damn it!" Marlon Shepherd and Fleur Carson almost jumped up.

"I want to go to Dragon Gate World too!" Fleur Carson shouted loudly.

"I’m going too, I’m going too!" Marlon Shepherd also clamored to go. If you could mess with monsters in Dragon Gate World, and even Xiaowu had over a hundred molls, how could you make any sense of that? Wasn’t that the life of a god?

"Go my ass, I’m not going anyway. I’ve made too many enemies there, and the humans there are no good—catching any pretty woman they see to warm their bed. If the two of you go, at most you’d end up as turtle servants, with no status or dignity!"

"Still, we’d go for fun—it all sounds thrilling!" the two of them laughed heartily.

"Well, wait until the end-of-year break, and I’ll take you guys there to play for a few days, sort of like a holiday trip. Let you broaden your horizons a bit!" Yusuf Zuck snickered.
