Chapter 251 - 251 251 That Will Be the New Battlefield

251: Chapter 251: That Will Be the New Battlefield 251: Chapter 251: That Will Be the New Battlefield After leaving the logistics center, Xiang Yu and his companions arrived at Long Zaitian’s place.

At this moment, Long Zaitian was the very picture of a small business owner, bustling about non-stop.

They had transformed the Underground Boxing Ring into an entertainment venue, and it seemed the business was doing quite well.

Long Wu was naturally delighted to see Xiang Yu.

She had gradually adapted to this kind of life, and her smile became more frequent.

In the past, when she was in the underworld, she could only keep people at a distance with a cold face.

Now, living a peaceful life with her brother, she didn’t need that forced coldness anymore, but it was still hard to adjust quickly.

She also felt reluctant when she heard that Xiang Yu was going to leave for a while.

But Xiang Yu had made up his mind, and they were powerless to change that.

After leaving Long Zaitian’s place, Xiang Yu then went to see Ouyang Xiu.

Ouyang Xiu had already developed the air of a family head.

Xiang Yu remembered that the first time he met Ouyang Xiu, he acted like a playboy, spending his days flirting with girls, never imagining he would become like he was today.

When Xiang Yu brought this up, Ouyang Xiu could only smile sheepishly, because Shui Yue was standing by his side, and they had already set the date and were soon to be married.

Zhang Hongbo was now staying by Ouyang Xiu’s side to help him.

That kid was eloquent and full of cunning plans; there was no one better suited to assist Ouyang Xiu.

“Brother Yu, I want to go with you,” Zhang Hongbo said immediately after hearing that Xiang Yu was leaving for a while.

Although he was comfortable here, he still hoped to stay by Xiang Yu’s side.

“It won’t take long before I’ll be back, I’m not going to die,” Xiang Yu joked.

Zhang Hongbo then nodded, realizing that if he really missed Brother Yu, he could simply drive to see him.

The world was now a global village, and no distance was too far with planes.

After coming back from Ouyang Xiu’s, Xiang Yu returned to the association.

Wu Jing and Shi Jian were already there waiting for him; they knew Xiang Yu was leaving and what he was about to do.

Shen San from the mysterious organization had already invited Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu had declined.

It was thanks to the girl named Zhong Qin; otherwise, given Shen San’s character, he probably would have made a move long ago.

“Xiang Yu, I’ll go with you,” Shi Jian said seriously.

Since Xiang Yu arrived in this city, he had always been with Shi Jian.

Shi Jian had witnessed Xiang Yu’s rise.

Now, the thought of Xiang Yu facing danger alone was unsettling for him.

Moreover, within Xiang Yu’s organization, Shi Jian’s status was second only to Xiang Yu, making him the second-in-command.

He could mobilize all the brothers under him, except for Tie Zhuzi.

That was because Tie Zhuzi only had Xiang Yu in his heart and listened to no one else.

“You can’t go; you have to stay here and keep an eye on the big picture for me.

There are still many brothers here who need your care,” Xiang Yu said with a smile.

“I’ll take the brothers with me, it’s the same wherever we go.

We might as well go there and carve out a piece of the world together,” Shi Jian spoke with a hint of boldness.

Xiang Yu shook his head and replied with a smile, “You all stay here for now; this place is our strategic rear.

I’ll get a clear picture of the situation over there before making any decisions.

If we rush over there, we’re likely to face opposition from the local forces,” Xiang Yu analyzed.

Listening to this, Shi Jian felt Xiang Yu was right, but he was still worried about Xiang Yu going alone.

Xiang Yu knew what he meant and then patted his shoulder, saying, “Don’t worry, with Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan by my side, nothing will happen to me.”

Only then did Shi Jian realize that both Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan were going with Xiang Yu.

Both were fiercely loyal to Xiang Yu and highly skilled, and Shi Jian felt much more at ease with them protecting Xiang Yu.

Wu Jing, sitting quietly all this while, also wanted to go with Xiang Yu.

However, Xiang Yu had given him a crucial task and repeatedly emphasized the need for Wu Jing to be cautious.

Until Xiang Yu dealt with the mysterious organization, there must be no slip-ups.

Even a slight mistake on Wu Jing’s part could put Xiang Yu’s life in jeopardy.

“Brother Yu, be careful over there.

If it really doesn’t work out, just come back.

At worst, we brothers will fight them head-on.

It’s only Shen San; we won’t be afraid of them,” Wu Jing said.

Xiang Yu smiled and replied, “Don’t worry.

Don’t you know my capabilities?

Just manage our home base well, and don’t worry about the rest.”

Shi Jian and Wu Jing could only nod in agreement, fully aware of Xiang Yu’s abilities; otherwise, they wouldn’t have reached their current standing starting from scratch.

“Zhuzi, Xiao Xuan, you two make sure to protect Xiang Yu well, and don’t let any mistakes happen,” Shi Jian told Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan just nodded without speaking.

But Tie Zhuzi laughed heartily and said, “Brother Shi Jian, don’t worry.

With me, Tie Zhuzi around, I won’t let anyone harm Brother Yu.”

Tie Zhuzi was very confident; being with Xiang Yu had taught him to boast and banter quite a bit.

Because of his admiration for Xiang Yu, he subconsciously adopted many of Xiang Yu’s traits.

The five men discussed many things together.

What worried Xiang Yu the most was Shi Jian and the others.

In this city, they were not invincible; in general, they were between second-rate and first-rate powers.

There were many greater forces they dared not provoke, and Xiang Yu had not yet ventured into the higher rungs.

Currently, Xiang Yu urgently needed to deal with that mysterious organization, because their harmful actions were far from negligible.

If left unchecked, they could potentially cause significant social chaos.

Shi Jian understood Xiang Yu’s concerns, and assured, “You guys go with peace of mind, I’ll take care of home.

And as for Huang Sanwan and others, I won’t provoke them lightly.

After all, we’re not their match.”

Xiang Yu nodded in agreement; Huang Sanwan was a major power in the city.

Rumor had it that his influence spread throughout the province.

Huang Sanwan was elusive as a dragon that shows its head but not its tail.

Although everyone knew of him, few had seen him.

It was common knowledge that he controlled a third of the coal mining industry within the province.

Wherever there was mining, competition was inevitable.

Since Huang Sanwan had secured a third, it clearly demonstrated his capabilities.

The other two-thirds were actually held by two individuals, but Shi Jian and the others were unaware, as they had not yet reached that level.

“Be cautious in everything.

If you encounter an issue you can’t handle, give me a call.

Don’t act blindly,” Xiang Yu said.

The five men talked all afternoon.

Xiang Yu made these arrangements because he was not certain he would return alive from his journey, but it was a task he felt compelled to undertake.

With one night’s preparation, Xiang Yu and his companions were ready, just waiting to set out…
