Chapter 677: Six hundred seventy-two, touch the dragon’s reverse scale, violate the bottom line

"Boss Gu, I can tell you straight up that none of the people who have offended our guild so far have come to a good end,"

"Among them were plenty of smart individuals like you, Boss Gu, who tried to go it alone. But in the end, their cleverness only led them astray."

He flexed his muscles before Gu Chen, and it wasn’t hard to hear the threat in his voice.

Unfortunately, Gu Chen felt utterly unmoved inside, without even a flicker of thought.

"Oh, is that so? I can see the guild you’ve joined has quite some strength. But are these typical of the tactics you use daily?" Gu Chen said.

After hearing what Gu Chen said, he could tell that Gu Chen was brimming with provocation.

It was clear he was deliberately looking for trouble.

"Boss Gu, I advise you to think this through if we report this incident to the guild, you won’t have the chance to respond.

Your bar’s doing good business, and I think a win-win cooperation means you’d just make a little less.

But you know, once we’re cooperating, we’ll all help each other out with any troubles—that way, we’re all one big family."

At this point, he still advised Gu Chen in a measured tone.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen nodded as if in agreement, but inside he felt nothing but contempt.

"You make a tempting offer, but that’s just the way I am—if it’s mine, it stays mine, and if it’s not, I’ve no interest. And if it is mine, nobody can take it away."

After saying this, Gu Chen’s expression instantly turned cold.

It was as if he comprehended that Gu Chen was the type not to be persuaded by words or threats, so his gaze towards Gu Chen gradually became icy.

"Alright, Boss Gu, you’re quite confident, but I hope you don’t end up regretting it. I’ve given you a chance.

I feel it’s necessary to remind you, if you don’t cooperate with us, we can’t guarantee what might happen.

And that includes your family—I think you might want to show them some extra love during this time."

At this moment, he began to threaten Gu Chen seriously, bringing up Gu Chen’s family.

Gu Chen hadn’t taken it seriously until he heard ’family’. At that word, his demeanor instantly changed.

"Are you sure about that?" Gu Chen asked coldly.

"Anything can happen in the world of business, Boss Gu. You’ve been doing business for more than a day or two, so you should understand that, as a businessman, doing whatever it takes for profit is within reason, right?"

At that moment, Gu Chen felt more than just anger inside. He also felt an impulse to deal with this nuisance here and now.

Laying this guy out on the floor right now would prevent many things from happening later on, and he wouldn’t have to worry so much anymore.

A permanent solution was much quicker than hassle down the line.

He could accept anything, but the one thing he couldn’t tolerate was threats against his family. To Gu Chen, nothing was more important than family, so this thug had just stepped on his Achilles’ heel.

But just like a dragon has its scales, triggering those scales has its consequences.

"I must remind you meaningfully, Boss Gu—this is my turf," he said, seemingly having noticed Gu Chen’s rage.

"Oh? I thought the collaboration was settled for my venue; I didn’t expect that it still isn’t considered mine," said Gu Chen, who by this time had already made a firm decision in his heart. No matter what the final outcome, he was determined to kick these guys out.

These guys had not only crossed Gu Chen’s interests but his bottom line. None of them could stay.

"Boss Gu, you should think it over carefully. I can only give you three days. If you can’t give me a definite answer after three days, then I will have nothing left to say but sorry."

He said this to Gu Chen with a smile, with a face full of smugness, as if he already had Gu Chen in his grip.

"Thank you for the reminder, General Manager Zhao, but I think it’s also necessary for me to remind you.

Anything can happen in this world: sometimes being too smart for your own good can lead to trouble, and though I may not be a big shot here locally,

I do have some resources. If any disputes arise, who will win, who will lose, and who will regret, that is really hard to say," Gu Chen retorted, not holding back one bit.

"Good, Boss Gu, I admire your courage. We shall see what happens next," he said before standing up, turning, and leaving without another unnecessary word.

Gu Chen also left the Midnight Nightclub with his two companions.

Once outside, Iron Bull spoke up rudely, "That guy even dared to threaten you. I was about to punch his head into the toilet just now."

He was very angry. In his view, no one had the right to offend Gu Chen.

However, Broken Brow thought differently at this time.

"Boss Gu, maybe we should pay more attention to Tang Tang and the others during this period. The way that guy was talking, he wasn’t joking. He might really do something."

He was focused on what had been said earlier.

"Hmm, you guys set up a schedule during this time, just avoid any accidents. As for the bar, you don’t have to watch it for now; there hasn’t been any trouble there anyway."

Gu Chen didn’t plan to make them work on two things at once, mainly fearing that they would get too tired, especially since that guy had even resorted to threats.

Naturally, keeping Tang Tang safe was the priority, the bar was of lesser concern.

And so, they drove back in the same manner as before, but this time Iron Bull and Broken Brow went straight to the bar, while Gu Chen drove home alone.

When he arrived home, he found that the big table of food he had prepared was completely devoured.

Seeing this scene, Gu Chen felt somewhat reassured.

The two were already asleep, and Gu Chen didn’t disturb them. He picked up the telephone in the living room and called Brother Zhu Zi.

The phone rang for about three seconds before it was answered.

On the other end of the line, Brother Zhu Zi’s voice sounded as if he was too sleepy to keep his eyes open.

"Hello, what’s up?" he asked over the phone.

"Brother Zhu Zi, I just met with General Manager Zhao, the chairman of the Midnight Nightclub."
