Chapter 287: Chapter 287: A Hit is a Hit_1

Zhang Xian paused, his expressionless face looking at the middle-aged men blocking his path.

Buckteeth Zhou stepped forward, stared at the middle-aged men, and asked, "What are you trying to do? Are you trying to cause trouble on Master Xie’s territory?"

"I don’t intend to start a fight." Jin Sanbao chuckled. "I just want to remind some self-righteous fellows to avoid acting so arrogantly lest they invite disaster onto themselves."

Zhang Xian ignored Jin Sanbao, and pushed past the middle-aged men to proceed inside.

To him, Jin Sanbao and Qin Mazi were minor characters, today his attention was on the big shot, Xie Wuming.

Jin Sanbao and Qin Mazi were infuriated by Zhang Xian’s cockiness. If it were not for the fact that they were on Xie Wuming’s territory and couldn’t act rashly, they would have charged forward and beaten him up already.

A man who had appeared out of nowhere dared to act so audaciously in front of them? Did he not know that they were the leaders of the Twin Peaks District and Longmen District underworld power structures respectively?

"You’re here!"

Fu Meiting greeted Zhang Xian and the rest with a smile when she saw them. "Master Xie is over there. Follow me."

Zhang Xian smiled at Fu Meiting, not being overly familiar with her.

Buckteeth Zhou, Qin Mazi, and Jin Sanbao didn’t have the guts like Zhang Xian. When they saw Fu Meiting, they promptly greeted her.

They had no other choice, Fu Meiting was a favorite in Xie Wuming’s inner circle and sometimes she even represented Xie Wuming’s will. They didn’t dare to offend such an important person.

Shortly thereafter, Fu Meiting led Zhang Xian and the others to a large flat area in front of the villa.

At that moment, tables and chairs had already been set up on the flat area. The owner of Bishui Villa and the Underground Emperor of TianDu City, Xie Wuming, sat in the main seat with three stern looking suit-clad men standing by his side.

A middle-aged man inspected Zhang Xian and the others when they approached. Once he confirmed that they were not carrying firearms or similar weapons, he allowed them to proceed.

"Haha... you have arrived," Xie Wuming stood up and said, "Please take a seat! No need for formalities, treat it like your own home. I’m not one for pleasantries."

Zhang Xian scoffed coldly, without intending to greet Xie Wuming. He simply walked over and took a seat opposite Xie Wuming.

If the Yantai situation didn’t exist, he might not be so direct. But now that Xie Wuming intended to kill him, was he still supposed to ply Xie Wuming with courtesies? Not necessary, when there was power at his disposal.

Buckteeth Zhou looked somewhat surprised seeing that Zhang Xian didn’t even bother to greet anyone and had taken a seat opposite Xie Wuming.

Qin Mazi and Jin Sanbao were absolutely stunned by Zhang Xian. Was this guy really stupid, or did he just not know the rules? Could anyone just take this seat?

They didn’t know about other places, but here in TianDu, especially in the underworld, the seating order held great significance. The highest rank sat in the main seat, the next highest was the seat directly opposite the main seat – a seat meant for VIPs – and the third highest was the first seat on the right-hand side of the main seat. For the other seats, there was no specific hierarchy. When a nobody waltzed in and took the VIP seat, what on earth was going on?

Xie Wuming showed no dissatisfaction, instead acting as if Zhang Xian was supposed to sit in that seat. "What are you standing around for? Have a seat. Are you going to eat standing up?"

Upon Xie Wuming’s command, Buckteeth Zhou, Jin Sanbao, and Qin Mazi took their seats one after another, but nobody dared to sit in the first seat on Xie Wuming’s right.

Meanwhile, Jin Sanbao and Qin Mazi were feeling uncertain. The nobody was sitting in the VIP seat, and Xie Wuming didn’t even raise an eyebrow. What did this mean?

Could it be, this nobody was someone significant? Was he eligible to sit there?

Zhang Xian suddenly looked up at Buckteeth Zhou and said, "Buckteeth Zhou, move up a seat."

Buckteeth Zhou looked at Zhang Xian, somewhat mystified.

If he moved up a seat, wouldn’t he be sitting in the prime position right after the VIP seat?

Xie Wuming chuckled and gestured for Buckteeth Zhou to move up.

Although Buckteeth Zhou didn’t understand why, once Xie Wuming had given his approval, he moved to the prime seat with a proud glance at Qin Mazi and Jin Sanbao.

Zhang Xian didn’t say anything further, seeing that Xie Wuming had no objections. Buckteeth Zhou was his lackey, and his status rose with the company he kept. Qin Mazi and Jin Sanbao were no match for Buckteeth Zhou.

Qin Mazi and Jin Sanbao were wide-eyed, sensing some sort of ominous premonition.

Initially, they’d thought Zhang Xian was just a lackey brought along by Buckteeth Zhou, and didn’t take him seriously. Now, it was clear that this wasn’t the case. This guy must be that Brother Xian.

To their amazement, there was also Xie Wuming’s attitude. Given these circumstances, was there even a need to negotiate anymore?

"Mei Ting, it’s about time. Let the kitchen know to serve the dishes." Xie Wuming smiled at Fu Meiting, then turned to face the four men and said, "Zhang Xian, Buckteeth Zhou, Qin Mazi, Jin Sanbao, we’re all old friends, right? But in recent years, I’ve rarely gone out or participated in any business activities, so we haven’t really seen each other or even had a meal together this year."

Qin Mazi smiled and responded, "Yes, we used to occasionally sit together and chat with Master Xie, but we haven’t been able to do that much in the past couple of years."

Xie Wuming replied with a smile, "Ah, I’m aging now, the territory of TianDu City will be yours in the future."

Jin Sanbao laughed, "Master Xie, you’re joking. Even now, you still possess your former vigor. How can we say you’re old? Without you holding everything together in Tiandu, all would descend into chaos."

Xie Wuming waved a hand, "That can’t stand! It’s inevitable to submit to aging!"

Zhang Xian saw Xie Wuming’s hypocrisy all over his face full of disdain. Verbally, he claims that the future of Tiandu belongs to the younger generation, but behind that, he’s scheming after his medicinal formula. This guy sure doesn’t lack nerve!

"Master Xie, sorry for our late arrival."

Suddenly, quite a number of people walked in, led by two men and a woman, all tycoons of Tiandu.

Xie Wuming said, "You’re not late, just on time."

The two men and the woman nodded, exchanged surprised glances at Zhang Xian, and then settled down by the table.

The most astounded was Guo Decheng. He was not unfamiliar with Zhang Xian, they had tangled before. However, he couldn’t understand why Zhang Xian was seated at the VIP spot.

Zhang Xian also noticed Guo Decheng and guessed that these three must be big shots from other districts. Still, he didn’t bother engaging with them.

"Hmm, the food is here. Let’s enjoy the meal while we talk," Xie Wuming said after seeing the dishes being served from the kitchen. "Since you’re here, consider this place home and be at ease."

Buckteeth Zhou, Jin Sanbao, Qin Mazi, and others nodded in agreement, but none reached for chopsticks. They couldn’t make a move till Xie Wuming did so.

Zhang Xian didn’t have such reservations and was hungry. He began eating before Xie Wuming even made a move.

Seeing this, Buckteeth Zhou slapped his forehead with a resigned smile on his face.

Even though he didn’t know why Zhang Xian was in good terms with Fu Meiting, such behavior from Zhang Xian was seriously inappropriate. If Xie Wuming got ticked off, it wouldn’t be a laughing matter.

Everyone knew Xie Wuming as a smiling tiger —cordial on the surface, but ruthless behind closed doors. By not showing him face, Zhang Xian was surely provoking his anger.

Seeing how discourteous Zhang Xian was, Qin Mazi and Jin Sanbao snickered inwardly.

Though they didn’t know the exact relation between Zhang Xian and Xie Wuming, they were pleased by Zhang Xian’s obvious disrespect for Xie Wuming.

Guo Decheng, Elder Sister Liuliu, Iron Hand looked on puzzled. Both had never seen or heard of the newcomer at the VIP seat, much less understood why Xie Wuming was treating him as a guest of honor.

"Come, let’s eat!" Xie Wuming showed no dissatisfaction and smilingly picked up his chopsticks. "The dishes are best when hot."

Buckteeth Zhou and the others started eating as soon as Xie Wuming did. Eating early was improper, but not eating was also wrong.

While eating, Xie Wuming asked, "Is the food okay? I often enjoy this flavor. I’m not sure if it suits your palate as individual tastes vary."

Zhang Xian didn’t answer Xie Wuming, truly relishing the food instead.

Buckteeth Zhou and others nodded repeatedly, confirming the food’s excellent taste. Indeed, the dishes served were extraordinary. If they weren’t special in some way, how could they have been invited here?

"Hmm, as long as you like it," Xie Wuming smiled. "We all are from Tiandu and engaged in the same industry, it’s impossible to avoid contact with each other. But in the recent years, it seems like we don’t gather together often. It’s too quiet! In my opinion, since we all belong to Tiandu, the same big family, we should unite against the outside world."

Guo Decheng, Elder Sister Liuliu, Iron Hand, Buckteeth Zhou, Qin Mazi, Jin Sanbao knew the purpose of today’s lunch and also understood Xie Wuming was slowly approaching the main issue at hand. Therefore, they didn’t interrupt him.

"The reason why I’ve called you here today, I suppose you all know it already, so I won’t elaborate," Xie Wuming glanced around. "However, Buckteeth Zhou, Qin Mazi, Jin Sanbao, your behaviors recently have been inappropriate. We’re all brothers here. Buckteeth Zhou shouldn’t have assaulted Qin Mazi and Jin Sanbao’s sons, which is causing conflict within our own group."

"Similarly, Jin Sanbao and Qin Mazi shouldn’t have tried to rip off Buckteeth Zhou on this minor issue. You demanded from Buckteeth Zhou a bar and an entertainment club, what’s the matter with that? Maybe we can resolve it this way: all three of you take a step back and settle this peacefully. Buckteeth Zhou, you can apologize for the assault and provide adequate compensation. Qin Mazi and Jin Sanbao, you need to let it go as well, what do you say?"

Buckteeth Zhou smiled and said, "Master Xie, I have no objections to your decision."

Xie Wuming nodded and, turning to Jin Sanbao and Qin Mazi, asked, "What about you two? If there are any objections, feel free to share."

Qin Mazi and Jin Sanbao frowned but did not speak right away.

From the way things were going, it seemed like Xie Wuming was siding with Buckteeth Zhou. Moreover, Xie Wuming’s attitude towards Zhang Xian left them confused.

Before coming here, they had no clue about the relationship between Zhang Xian and Xie Wuming. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have allowed this to happen.

Zhang Xian lit a cigarette and said, "I object."

Buckteeth Zhou froze, not understanding what Zhang Xian meant. Xie Wuming had already done enough. Apologizing wasn’t a big deal, and paying some money wasn’t so bad either. It won’t be the end of the world.

Xie Wuming laughed, "Zhang Xian, feel free to voice your objections."

Zhang Xian took a puff and said placidly, "Buckteeth Zhou is now my underling, what I say goes. So, I don’t plan on apologizing, nor do I plan on paying. What’s done is done."
