Chapter 169: Tang Tie succeeds? (3/?)
How was it possible that Tianlong's and Chu's were all dead? How and when did that happen? No there must be some kind of mistake in that news.
She didn't believe that the guy she had for master was dead. She hated to admit it, but that guy was more intelligent and wise than her, and also those mysterious powers.
What was happening here? As for Young master Qin Bao, she had heard of him and once she even had a crush on him. But now he wasn't important at all.
But then she was hit by the sudden realization that her seal and her connection with her master wasn't broken yet.
Feeling that, she didn't understand why but she felt a bit relieved. She wanted to laugh like a madwoman right now if it wasn't for Young master Tang Tie being in front of her.
Regaining composure she said with a dubious voice,
Mu Xiya:" Are you sure they are dead, Young master Tang Tie? Because just your word is not enough for me to believe you. Furthermore, even if they are dead how would it be possible for us to control the city without a foundation and loyal people?"
Her doubts were logical and real, the reason that Chu Feng could control the city wasn't just because of the Triads but also because he had his people everywhere.
Now that the Chu's were gone those people would never reveal themselves or work for the people that killed their masters.
This was one of the reasons that the city had been so calm until now. Because, Chu Feng and the Chu family, had a really strong, and unshakeable foundation, in the city.
Hearing her words Tang Tie was even more stricken by her confidence and cold-bloodedness in front of such an enticing offer. That was why he said,
Tang Tie:" You are a very intelligent woman Miss Mu Xiya, but you should also understand that I wouldn't be here if I wouldn't be confident in my plans and actions. There are a lot of people who like money and connections these days."
Mu Xiya was expecting such an answer because it was true. Tang Tie seemed like a sly fox, that wouldn't show himself without having full confidence in his plans.
She decided to use this conversation to discover some information, with which she could trade with her master, Tianlong Yun.
With that line of thinking, she continued with a seaming unfazed voice,
Mu Xiya:" That is a really good line of thinking master Tang Tie. But you should also not expect me to accept your deal without knowing anything. Furthermore, when you are saying partnership, there must be some trust involved."
Tang Tie could understand what she was asking, and also her reasons for doing so, but he couldn't reveal anything at the moment. He couldn't and wouldn't endanger his plans, just for a stupid thought as trust between them.
Thinking like this, he said,
Tang Tie:" Well trust is earned slowly by actions Miss Mu Xiya, no matter how much I would like to believe and trust you. My experience had taught me to not trust people easily.
Mu Xiya was disappointed that she didn't manage to find anything from this guy, but there was nothing more she could do without revealing herself, so she decided to close their conversation here.
Mu Xiya:" I could say the same thing to you mister Tang Tie. And since none of us can trust each other at the moment, continuing this conversation seems useless. I would appreciate it if you left the place and let me rest."
Tang Tie didn't want to give up so easily, but there was nothing he could do, he was shown the door. He didn't want to use force with her tonight because truthfully he had no time. He was already late for his big meeting of the night.
Seeing this situation he bowed down and made to kiss the back of the hand while saying,
Tang Tie:" Well then Miss Mu Xiya I hope you have a nice sleep."
But before he could hold and kiss the back of her hand, Mu Xiya retracted her hand and said firmly,
Mu Xiya:" Thank You mister Tang Tie same to you."
Tang Tie was getting impatient with this b*tch, she was clearly refusing all his tries at courting her. His only small victory, if it counted was the fact that he managed to go from Lady Mu Xiya to Miss Mu Xiya.
But even that was a pathetic victory if no victory at all for him. It was her good luck that he had a lot to do tonight, and she wasn't the priority.
Furthermore, after tonight this city would belong to him. Everyone and everything would be under him, and he could deal with her later. He could swear that she would regret refusing him.
With a gloomy look after her refusal, Tang Tie got out of the Mu family's mansion and went towards his provisory headquarters, the Bamboo house restaurant.
The whole restaurant was closed today due to a big reservation, or more precisely his reservation. He had bought this place from the previous owner paying a lot of money, more than double its worth.
Then he renovated it and made him into a practical fortress headquarters. He had personally revised everything just to be sure and then placed his most trusted people to deal with the security.
Beside them, the whole staff had been triple checked to avoid the spies and infiltrators. Not even a fly could enter this place without his permission. At least that was what he thought.
Right now the whole restaurant was decorated and prepared to serve only to a small specific number of people and some of their family members.
In their midst, you could find all kinds of people with power and social standing in society. They were all the people that Tang Tie had managed to buy their loyalty in this city. His foundation, to rule and control this city.
He had wanted to invite Mu Xiya to this place, but hearing her questions he got a bit dubious and decided against that at the moment. His priority was this city.
Entering the big hall of the restaurant Tang Tie was feeling proud of himself for having achieved his goal. For him, at this moment everything was perfect, just like he had planed it.
He took a look around the hall, looking at the faces of all the people present and started his speech,
Tang Tie:" Ladies and Gentleman, this night marks the beginning of a new history, for me, for us and for this city. Tonight we become the owners of this city. Tonight we become rulers.."
Before he could finish his speech, there was heard a big clapping sound, coming from the middle of the crowd. Everyone was stunned at that sound and immediately turned towards the direction that the sound was coming.
They were all confused at this moment, seeing that there was a young man seated on his chair leisurely, with a really smooth face that could be mistaken for a woman.
Almost no one from the people participating in this party recognized who that young man was. But there was one man who recognized him with just one look, Tang Tie.
Qin Bao threw a superficial look to all the people inside the hall and started to talk before introducing himself,
Qin Bao:" Very beautiful words Young master Tang Tie. I think you really know how to speak and inspire the crowds. But just because you control one Long Triad doesn't make you the ruler of this city."
Then giving another superficial look to the crowd he said,
Qin Bao:" Oh yes, you also have these pieces of waste here that support you. But do you think its enough? You are trying to control the city by force after all."
Tang Tie was surprised at his arrival and his words. He couldn't understand how he had managed to stay alive, when so many people, with so many guns, had gone there to kill him.
Anyway, the most important question at the moment was, if he was still safe and sound in here, what had happened to the men he had sent to kill him and the others.
But he wouldn't let such a small setback ruin his plans to rule over this city and said,
Tang Tie:" Well Young master Qin Bao what makes you think that you are safe being in here? Those at your place might have failed, but my real foundation is in here."
Saying that he made a sign for all the security and his trusted people, to seal the doors and the place. He wanted to capture and neutralize all the threats possible.
Starting from Qin Bao, his companions, and also the people that had helped him enter here. He was thinking that Qin Bao was an idiot for entering his lair.
On the other hand, Qin Bao didn't seem to care much about Tang Tie. He looked at him with a despising look, and said unfazed by all the security,
Qin Bao:" Now I really think that your brain is failing you Young master Tang Tie. You go so far as to mention my name in a place, and expect to get away with my death?"
Then looking again at the closest people by his side he continued,
Qin Bao:" Are you sure all the people inside this room are so loyal to you, as to handle the pressure of my Qin family? At the end of the day, you are only from a branch family, while I am from the main Qin family."
His words stunned the whole room, especially Tang Tie who seeing that things weren't going as he planned, started to panic.
Apparently Qin Bao wasn't finished yet because he continued,
Qin Bao:" Furthermore what makes you think that these people are really loyal to you?"
This time when he finished his words, Qin Bao hit his glass with a small spoon, and immediately after
