Chapter 145 Face-to-face Engagement

These people were furious. The Long Family had never received such a treatment in the northern region. Even if it was just a servant from the Long Family, no one would dare to offend him or her. However, they had suffered a lot in Jiang City. It was very embarrassing.

However, they dared not say anything. They could only be angry. No matter how powerful the Long Family was, this was Master Hou’s territory after all. An outsider, however strong, should never bully the local. These people looked at one another and said, “Retreat.”

They came quickly and left faster than they came.

When these people left, Master Hou looked at Ye Xiaoxi and said benevolently like an elder, “Don’t worry and don’t be afraid. This is Jiang City. Long Family doesn’t call the shots here. As I have paid my respect, I will go first. If you need any help in the future, please contact me.”

Ye Xiaoxi was smart. She understood the intention behind Master Hou’s action. On the one hand, he wanted to side with Brother Bing and her. On the other hand, he wanted to provoke the Long Family. He wanted to let Long Family know that although they were powerful, they couldn’t capture Jiang City that easily. Furthermore, Jiang City would not yield easily.

Initially, it was a simple matter. However, through Master Hou’s assistance, it had become slightly complicated.

However, after all, Ye Family owed Master Hou this favour. Ye Xiaoxi said gratefully, “Thank Master Hou for coming forward. Please return.”

Master Hou nodded. When he passed by Xiao Bing, he suddenly handed Xiao Bing a name card and said smilingly, “At three p.m., please go over and have a meal if you have the time.”

Xiao Bing received his name card and watched Master Hou leave. After the others saw this scene, they all realized that after the death of North Heaven Queen, Master Hou had no intention to kill Xiao Bing. Instead, he wanted to rope Xiao Bing in. It seems that Xiao Bing was currently very close to Master Hou. Furthermore, Master Hou came to Xiao Bing’s aid just now.

However, they are worldly-wise. Although Master Hou and Long family had a delicate relationship, Long Family coveted H province. However, Jiang City was a stumbling block. Although Master Hou was influential in Jiang City, Long Family was a colossus, who possessed the underground of two and a half provinces after all. Hence, Master Long had kept a low profile all the time and didn’t dare to provoke the Long Family. However, they fell out today.

What would Long Family do? Would they take the opportunity to kill them? If they strike, was Master Hou strong enough to withstand the powerful Long Family? There were many questions left unanswered.

Of course, even if they doubted Master Hou, as long as Master Hou was around, Master Hou still controlled Jiang City. With a casual order, he could destroy the families of most here.

The emperor of Jiang City’s underworld wasn’t joking.

Xiao Bing also knew this, so he never thought of refusing Master Hou’s invitation.

After attending the funeral with Yezi, Xiao Bing asked Yezi to wait for him at home tonight. He then brought Dumbass to the location Master Hou had suggested.

Master Hou invited Xiao Bing to a clubhouse called Nine Heavens. When Xiao Bing mentioned the name Nine Heavens, the taxi driver was in awe. Xiao Bing could sense that those people who could access the clubhouse were extraordinary.

The taxi driver drove out of the city. Few Western-style buildings and European villas gradually appeared. Finally, he saw a western-style four-storey large building in front of him. The words ‘Nine Heavens’ were written on the plague. It looked exotic and magnificent.

The driver pulled up to the door and stopped. Xiao Bing paid the cab fare and both of them alighted. Dumbass’ eyes lit up and shouted, “Brother Bing, this place looks good. Is there a lot of delicious food here?”

Xiao Bing laughed and said, “You shouldn’t call yourself Dumbass. You should call yourself glutton. Let’s go, don’t let the host wait too long. ”

Xiao Bing walked over on crutches. Dumbass was following him like a bodyguard. The receptionist at the door reached out to stop Xiao Bing and said solemnly, “Sir, please show me your membership card.”

“Membership card? I don’t have.” Xiao Bing laughed and said, “Master Hou invited us.”

The two men’s attitude changed. They immediately became respectful and said, “Are you Mr. Xiao, the distinguished guest of Master Hou?”

“Yes.”

“Please come in quickly.”

Xiao Bing smiled and walked in on crutches.

The hall on the first floor is resplendent and magnificent.

Xiao Bing glanced at the receptionist beside the door and asked, “Where is Master Hou? Take me there.”

“Yes, sir. Please come with me.”

The beautiful female receptionist led Xiao Bing into the bathing area and arrived at a separate changing room. After entering, she smiled sweetly and said to Xiao Bing, “Master Hou is in room 1. The VIP room is reserved for Master Hou. Even if Master Hou does not come, other people will not use it. Please take off your clothes, Mr. Xiao. You can just enter the room in a moment.”

Xiao Bing agreed and said, “OK.”

The female receptionist looked at Dumbass. She smiled smiling sweetly and said, “Master Hou said that if you are Mr. Dumbass, please follow me to the gourmet area. There are all kinds of delicacies from all over the world and you can enjoy them.”

Dumbass’s eyes lit up and said excitedly, “Does that old man still knows me so well?”

Xiao Bing was awed.

“Master Hou knew his people so well. He indeed controls Jiang City. Since I’m already here and both Master Hou and I currently had no grudges, there is no need for Dumbass to follow me all the time. Furthermore, the food here must be very expensive. Since Master Hou invited me, the food must be free. Let’s not waste it and let Dumbass go...”

So Xiao Bing nodded to Dumbass and ordered, “Go with her. I will be fine.”

Dumbass said, “I’ll go then. Sister, take me to eat delicious food quickly.”

The female receptionist laughed and said, “OK. Please come with me.”

After Dumbass left, Xiao Bing found a wardrobe, took off his clothes and put them in the wardrobe. He put the key around his wrist and wrapped himself in a white towel. He walked over to VIP room 1 where Master Hou was. It was very easy to find the room as Miyamoto Shinji was standing at the door with due diligence.

After Xiao Bing pushed open the door, he felt a gush of steam blowing at him.

The bathroom was about sixty square meters. There was a bath made of smooth granite, which was already filled with water in the bathroom. There was also a small steaming room. There were two framed artistic pictures of a beautiful woman on the wall.

When Xiao Bing walked in, a man was lying on the mat, which was specially paved on the ground. The man was not very tall, but the permanent scars on his back made him seem more manly. Furthermore, two of the scars, which were created by bullet shots, appeared shocking.

A mature and sexy beautiful woman, who was in her bikini was massaging the man on his back. She was in her thirties. Upon hearing Xiao Bing’s footsteps, the man said softly, “Xiao Bing, come here quickly. It’s very comfortable.”

After speaking, the man pushed the woman’s arm aside and sat up. The woman held his arm sensibly and squeezed her white chest over his arm.

This man was obviously the lord of Jiang City’s underworld, Master Hou.

Master Hou’s smile was warm, but Xiao Bing never dared to let his guard down in front of Master Hou. Master Hou’s deep eyes always made one unable to fathom his thoughts. This meant that this man was very scheming.

Master Hou laughed and said, “Let’s take a dip together. I will accompany you to take a dip. Living in this big city is very stressful. Occasional dip can be very comfortable.”

Xiao Bing took off his white bath towel and put it next to him. Then he and Master Hou sat in the bath together. The bath was very big. The two men sat in a corner, opposite each other.

“Xiao Bing, to tell the truth, you are capable and scheming. By right, I should have killed you as you killed Peony after all.”

Xiao Bing did not speak. He was waiting for Master Hou to continue.

“However, I can understand your action then. I have said that I won’t do anything to you for that matter. I also look forward to you joining my camp and replacing Peony’s position.”

Xiao Bing asked casually, “Will your staff and the other three heavenly kings be fine with the arrangement?”

“In Jiang City, I’m the king. Although this is a special warning to the Long Family, it is also true,” Master Hou said casually but domineeringly, “Since I don’t object to you replacing Peony, no one can object.”

“Ah, it’s really comfortable to take a dip.” Xiao Bing rubbed his body and said smilingly, “Master Hou knows how to enjoy.”

Master Hou laughed heartily and said, “Old people usually know how to enjoy.”

Xiao Bing asked seriously, “Why is Master Hou so desperate to rope me in?”

Master Hou laughed and said, “Well, I knew that you would ask this question. Well... I think you could see from what had happened at Old Ye’s funeral today. Long Family and I are almost falling out. To be honest, I’m not doing this just for the sake of you and the little girl from Ye Family. The situation has become dire and Long Family is closing in, so I have to respond.”

Xiao Bing praised and said, “Master Hou is very honest.”

“Of course. I would like to do you a favour, but I know you are a wise man.”

Xiao Bing laughed and said, “Anyway, I appreciate Master Hou for speaking up for me then. Without Master Hou’s help, I’m afraid all the famous businessmen in Jiang City celebrities would keep a distance with me and Ye Family.”

Master Hou laughed and said, “Even now, do you think the famous businessmen in Jiang City dare to approach you? To them, they are most afraid of me because I am relatively close to them. But strictly speaking, they are also afraid of the Long Family as they are strong. Xiao Bing, the fight between me and Long Family is inevitable. If I win, Jiang City belongs to you. Would you like to join me?”

Master Hou finally spoke his mind and looked at Xiao Bing seriously.
