Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Ghost Blade, Tyrant Fist_1

White Wolf arrived at Lord Long’s mansion.

He used to be one of Lord Long’s men, and it was only after Lord Long retired that he went out on his own.

However, he always treated Lord Long with the utmost respect.

Having waited outside for a long while, White Wolf bore no complaints.

Lord Long was taking a nap, and he didn’t dare to disturb him.

"Elder Bai, Lord Long invites you in!"

Finally, after half an hour, a middle-aged man came out and spoke to White Wolf.

White Wolf recognized the man, Ghost Blade, one of the four Vajras who served closest to Lord Long.

Ghost Blade was adept with knives, like a ghostly deity, one of the four Vajras and also Lord Long’s personal bodyguard.

The other three usually took care of Lord Long’s external affairs year-round.

"Brother Dao, hello!"

In front of Ghost Blade, White Wolf was also very respectful.

"Come in!"

Ghost Blade nodded slightly.

White Wolf followed Ghost Blade into the villa.

Lord Long was in his sixties, dressed in traditional Tang attire.

In his hand, he held a purple clay pot worth tens of thousands, sipping tea.

Behind him was a Dongying woman, massaging his back.

"Lord Long, we’ve acquired some information; that Zhang Qi, he doesn’t have any significant background."

White Wolf said respectfully.

"Sit!"

Lord Long said indifferently.

"I dare not!"

White Wolf hurriedly shook his head; in front of Lord Long, he felt like a little child.

"When I tell you to sit, you sit. Do you also dare to disobey Lord Long’s words?"

Ghost Blade said coldly.

This man, in his thirties, spoke with a thick aura of menace, as if he were a malevolent spirit.

"You’re very obedient!"

Lord Long looked at White Wolf and smiled, "Let me give you a piece of advice.

Don’t meddle in Linhai’s affairs for the time being.

Though Zhang Qi doesn’t have any background, he has over a hundred very strong fighters under his command.

Moreover, one of them is extremely strong!"

"How strong?"

White Wolf couldn’t help but ask.

"Do you think Ghost Blade is skilled?"

Lord Long asked with a smile.

"Of course, Ghost Blade alone could sweep through all of us."

White Wolf said.

"You’re being modest. That man under Zhang Qi is not much inferior to Ghost Blade!"

Lord Long said.

What!

White Wolf was so startled that he stood up!

He had been thinking that if Zhang Qi didn’t have a solid background, he was going to make his move.

If he didn’t grab that piece of fat meat, others certainly would, and that was something he absolutely wouldn’t allow.

After all, he couldn’t compare with the Lin Family, Bai Family, or Tang Family.

They had massive Family Clans to sustain them.

Underworld influence and above-ground operations were kept separate.

And he, without a Family Clan to shelter him,

should be even more eager to strike first.

But after hearing Lord Long’s words, he suddenly didn’t know what to do. He was afraid.

He knew all too well the strength of Ghost Blade.

This Ghost Blade was undoubtedly the strongest among the four Vajras.

He alone was enough to control the other three.

But each of the other three was also capable of easily wiping out White Wolf himself.

Lord Long actually said Zhang Qi’s subordinate was not at all inferior to Ghost Blade?

Even if that was an exaggeration, he still couldn’t afford to provoke him.

"Lord Long, what should I do?"

White Wolf asked, bowing.

"First, protect your own turf; there’s no need to rush. The fat meat will stay there, and those who act first won’t necessarily get it.

"Be careful, that fatty meat might just be a trap, and a hunter is crouching nearby."

Lord Long cautioned, "You are the most filial to me, and I personally groomed you.

That’s why I’m telling you this."

"Understood, Lord Long, I’ll hold my forces back!"

White Wolf clasped his hands together in a salute, then left.

After White Wolf left, Lord Long glanced at Ghost Blade and said, "Send Tyrant Fist to Linhai. Don’t do anything, just keep an eye on that person.

I want to see just how formidable this young man under thirty really is!"

"Understood!"

Ghost Blade nodded, though truth be told, he was somewhat unconvinced inside.

Is he really comparable to me? Lord Long suggested.

How could he know without having fought him?

He remembered that Lord Long was formidable in his youth, but now, in his sixties, he surely wasn’t as fierce as before.

Could his judgment have deteriorated, too?

Ghost Blade got in touch with Tyrant Fist: "Go to Linhai and keep an eye on someone named Xiao Chen.

Lord Long thinks he’s no weaker than me, so don’t take any action."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

He knew Tyrant Fist’s temper well.

Equally arrogant, apart from himself and Lord Long, he wouldn’t fear or respect anyone else.

Now, someone in Linhai was said to be as strong as Ghost Blade; it would be strange if Tyrant Fist didn’t act.

This was Ghost Blade’s cunning.

Xiao Chen, of course, knew all about the changes happening in the provincial city.

The Jianghu Teahouse wasn’t just a place for selling information; it was also for gathering it.

This was key to Xiao Chen’s control of the overall situation.

Therefore, those little cats and dogs from the provincial city were simply below his concern.

He just didn’t want to intervene directly; after all, the Xinmeng Group had to face some hardships.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t truly grow.

Speaking of which, ever since the previous live broadcast incident, the Xinmeng Group had been on a path of rapid development.

The market in Linhai was no longer enough to satisfy the group’s appetite.

They began to expand into nearby cities.

Investing in building factories, hiring workers.

Every local leader treated them like the God of Wealth, practically fighting to lure them to their domain.

Liu Xin and Jiang Meng received extremely warm welcomes wherever they went.

Under the influence of the Xinmeng Group, Linhai’s economic growth rate soared.

Businesses were emerging like bamboo shoots after a rain.

The key was the good public order; without the disturbance of underground forces, they saved a lot of money.

And it spared them worry.

Linhai High-Tech District and Linhai Industrial Demonstration Area had already been approved by the state.

Leader Lei was grinning so wide, his smile reaching the roots of his ears.

With the economy doing well, the people also reaped immense benefits.

Finding a job was very easy, and income generally increased.

Here, it was changing every day, just like Shencheng City in its early days.

Who knows, in another ten years or so, it might truly become the second Shencheng City.

Linhai Bank and Langya Fund, which had taken the initiative to collaborate with the Xinmeng Group, both received generous returns.

Linhai Medicinal Materials Factory’s business was booming even more.

Many smaller factories survived and grew strong thanks to the Xinmeng Group.

Naturally, the biggest beneficiary was still the Xiao Corporation.

However, Xiao Corporation was simply too vast.

The benefits from Linhai were mere drops in the ocean for them.

Lately, the company had been managed by Liu Xin.

Jiang Meng, as the chairman, had started to study, preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination for Jiangfu University.

At the same time, she was learning management from her mother.

She was talented and learned quickly.

With the assistance of Qin Hai and Zhao Ya’nan, and the technology from Hicks and Chen Guofu,

both Xinmeng Pharmaceutical and Xinmeng Food experienced an unprecedented boom.

Of course, Xiao Chen was pleased with these developments, but he didn’t take them too seriously.

After all, the Xinmeng Group was created to fulfill his wife and mother-in-law’s dreams.

If his elder brother hadn’t lacked such ambition, he might have set up a company for his brother to play with.

His elder brother was the kind of person who abided by the rules, so working in the Xiao Corporation with a high salary was very comfortable for him.
