Chapter 181 Big D Hosts a Banquet for Guests
Three days later, the Tsuen Wan restaurant, known for its integrity, opened.

Big D throws a lavish banquet for his guests!

It wasn't really a grand banquet; it was just a gathering of people he invited.

Looking at the smug-looking Big D, Liang Kun laughed:
"It seems that splitting up the map has its advantages. Look at how smug Big D is."

Big D beamed with joy:

"The division of Hetu does have its advantages. We clearly have twenty-four hall masters, but there are still fifty or sixty old ghosts above us."

"Now that it's split into three, there are far fewer old ghosts."

"There are nine branches in the Heliansheng Group, and mine is the largest, with the most underlings."

Han Bin laughed and said:

"I heard that when Hetu split up, some people took advantage of the situation to loot?"

Big D laughed even more heartily:

"These guys have completely lost their minds."

"Hetu was only split apart, not crippled; its power was not diminished in the slightest."

"These guys from Cheung Lok in Tsuen Wan want to take this opportunity to attack me. Aren't they just giving me an excuse?"

"I simply swallowed it up!"

"In Tsuen Wan, everyone's a member of the D clan!"

"Shouldn't we celebrate such a good thing?"

Wang Dao nodded repeatedly:

"These kinds of things are definitely worth celebrating."

Today, Big D hosted a banquet for the three of them, along with their girlfriends and wives.

The women all gathered together and did not participate in the men's conversation.

Wang Dao asked curiously:
"The Hetu Society split up because there was no balance in the election of its leader. After it split into three societies, who will be the leader?"

Big D shrugs:

“He Lian Sheng is a braggart, He Yi Sheng is an idiot, and He Xing Sheng is a god.”

Liang Kun said to Han Bin:
"No wonder they didn't let you run for office back then. Even that old man, God, wanted to run for office himself."

Han Bin chuckled:

"It doesn't matter anymore. I'm the leader of Hung Hing Kwai Tsing now. On the day the group split, I set off 40,000 dollars worth of firecrackers."

"The red paper scraps were piled up in a thick layer."

"From now on, combining images will have nothing to do with me."

Wang Dao sarcastically remarked:
"The combined map is now history, so of course it has nothing to do with you."

Han Bin burst into laughter again.

Wang Dao turned to Big D and said:

"Blowing chicken?"

"Wan Chai's blow-dry chicken?"

Big D asked:

"You know him too?"

Wang Dao looked at Da D with suspicion:

“If I remember correctly, this guy is much older than you; he could be your uncle.”

Big D nodded:
"Yes, after this term, he will become an uncle."

Wang Dao's tone was inexplicable:

"He's just a blabbermouth trying to make a name for himself... Does he even have the ability to do that?"

"How come I remember he only owned one nightclub in Wan Chai?"

Big D pursed his lips:
"More than that... I even bought that dance hall for him."

Wang Dao then countered with a question:
"So, someone like Chuiji, whose strength is even inferior to Sha Qiang's, became the head of Heliansheng?"

Big D disagreed:

"It's alright. This is just a temporary phase. As long as I get through these two years, I won't have this problem once I'm elected."

Wang Dao remained silent, and simply stated:
Why wait two years?

Big D casually remarked:
"I wanted to run for office, but those old fogies said I wasn't qualified enough..."

Wang Dao glanced at Da D, then at Da D's wife, and finally shut up, taking a big bite out of the things on the table.

Today, Big D went all out, spending 100,000 yuan to order the super-deluxe set meal that Liang Kun and the others wanted last time.

How luxurious is it?

The roast suckling pig is always placed on a gold leaf liner—real gold leaf!
Big D looked at Wang Dao with a puzzled expression:

"Ah Dao, stop just eating and get to the point, tell me what's going on, okay?"

"I always felt there was something hidden in your words."

This roast suckling pig is fragrant, sweet, and tender, yet has a satisfying chewiness; Wang Dao ate it with great relish.

What did I say?

"I've said everything that needs to be said."

Big D shook his head:
"No, I always feel like you only told me half of what you meant."

Wang Dao pointed at Han Bin:

"Hey, you two must have something in common."

Big D asked suspiciously:
“Although we both came from Hetu, Benny’s business is completely different from mine, so what’s there to talk about?”

Wang Dao simply buried his head in his food, picking up his chopsticks at the enormous lobster meat.

To be honest, the meat of this lobster isn't as delicate and doesn't taste as good as wild-caught prawns.

However, this stuff was quite satisfying to eat.

Wang Dao nodded repeatedly as he ate; he had no time to answer Da D's questions.
Big D couldn't make things difficult for Wang Dao like he had when they first met.

Wang Dao, who was once a nobody in the Red Star industry, has gradually gained some fame and is no longer almost invisible in the martial arts world.

Big D already knew how powerful Wang Dao was; the previous experience was still fresh in his mind. Since Wang Dao didn't say anything, he didn't press him too much, but just looked at Han Bin with a questioning gaze.

Han Bin and Da D both came from Hetu, so they naturally had a connection. Seeing Da D's puzzled look, Han Bin couldn't help but twitch his lips:
"What do you see me doing?"

Big D pursed his lips:
"Ado seems to dislike me!"

Han Bin asked:

"You know Ado got a job, right?"

Big D laughed:

"Of course, Hung Hing has already informed the underworld that Ado has been appointed White Paper Fan."

Han Bin sighed:

"Since you know he made white paper fans, then you should know that Adao is a smart man."

Big D asked in confusion:
"What does this have to do with him disliking me?"

Han Bin said expressionlessly:
He hates idiots.

Big D carefully said:
"The idiot you're talking about, isn't it me?"

Han Bin countered with a question:
"There are only four men here, so who else could it be but you?"

"Ah Kun? Me? Or Ah Dao?!"

Big D felt particularly aggrieved:

"Where am I stupid?"

Han Bin sighed:
“Ado told you so much before, but you didn’t listen to a single word of it.”

Big D was taken aback:
"what?"

Han Bin bluntly stated:
“Ado told you before why I failed to become the person in charge.”

"Right?"

Big D nodded.

Han Bin then said:

"He also told you that after I left, you would take my place, and you wouldn't be able to be the person in charge in Hetu, right?"

Big D nodded again:

"Yes!"

Han Bin couldn't help but roll his eyes:

"Then what are you happy about?"

Big D said matter-of-factly:
"HeTu has split up. Now I'm with LianSheng."

Han Bin suddenly understood the feeling of Wang Dao, and he also didn't want to pay attention to Da D anymore.

It was because of his kind heart that he explained:
"Big D, didn't you feel it?"

"Your position at Heliansheng is the same position Benny is at Hetu."

Big D said happily:
"That's true. Back then, Binni was the most powerful in Hetu and could suppress all the hall masters."

“I can’t compare to Binni, but at Heliansheng, I’m confident I can do the same thing Binni did back then.”

Han Bin angrily said:

So what are you happy about?

Big D was startled.

The women fell silent, staring at Han Bin in astonishment, completely bewildered as to how things had suddenly turned out this way.
Big D was extremely aggrieved:
"Binny, can't you talk this out?"

Han Bin said with a dark face:

"Ah Kun and Ah Dao have explained it so clearly, don't you understand?"

Do you think it's a good thing for them to say I have a lot of power?

"Back then, I was very powerful; which of the twenty-three hall masters didn't submit to me?"

"So what?"

"Does my involvement with the person in charge of Hetu have anything to do with me?"

"no!"

"I will always be the next person in charge of Hetu!"

"The next one—the next one—that means I'll never actually be in that position."

"Now Hetu is gone, it's become Heliansheng, Heyisheng, and Hexingsheng..."

"Your position at Liansheng is the same as my position back then."

"They've already made themselves so clear, and you still don't understand?"

Big D involuntarily said:
"what does that mean?"

Han Bin uttered a curse and glanced at Wang Dao, who was arguing with the single-headed abalone.

"I've wasted so much breath and explained things to you this much, and you still don't understand?"

After swallowing the abalone meat, Wang Dao slowly said:

"How could Big D not understand?"

"He just doesn't want to understand."

Han Bin cursed under his breath again.

Big D's pupils contracted:
"Ado, what do you mean?"

The Way of Kings is straightforward:
“We mean it very clearly: you are just like Benny back then, you will never be in a position of power.”

Big D was instantly dumbfounded!

After regaining his senses, he roared:
"Why?!"

Wang Dao casually remarked:
"Why?"

"Your Tsuen Wan is the largest, with the most henchmen and the most money."

Big D asked, puzzled:
"Isn't that because I'm strong?"

Wang Dao nodded:
"That's right, you're strong." "And your personality is the kind that's arrogant, domineering, and lawless..."

"If you were in charge... what would you do?"

Big D replied without hesitation:
"Of course I need to develop my own power!"

Wang Dao clapped his hands and said:
"But Helian Sheng is not in the hands of the hall master, but in the hands of my uncle."

"Now that you're in complete control, the title of the top leader is yours again..."

"Who can stop you, Heliansheng?"

Looking at the stunned Big D, Wang Dao asked again,

"HeTu is selected every two years, and so is HeLianSheng, right?"

"Then let me ask you, if you become the person in charge, who can compare to you in two years?"

Big D said with a dark face:

"nobody!"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"I think so too."

"Now comes the tough question: you've become the dominant force, able to suppress an entire organization all by yourself. Two years from now, will you voluntarily step down?"

Big D was taken aback, and then his expression changed drastically.

Wang Dao sighed:

"Look, you can't even get past your own conscience. Do you really think the uncles at Liansheng will trust you that much?"

He said bluntly,

"will not!"

"You should know that the head of Helian Sheng's uncle is Fat Deng."

"I am somewhat familiar with this person's views."

"Want to hear it?"

Big D quickly said:
"miss you!"

Wang Dao explained:
"Fat Deng's proposition is very simple: the triads should be balanced and no one should be too dominant."

“If the uncles want to control the gang forever, they won’t choose the branch that will become dominant and even monopolize the Wo Luen Shing in the future.”

"In other words, you're already this good, so you can't get any better."

Big D instinctively didn't want to believe it:
"No, I'm running for office this year too, but they say I'm not qualified enough!"

"I'll have my chance in two years."

Wang Dao almost died laughing:

"Big D, you're really cute."

"Qualifications?"

"Who has more experience than you?"

Big D was taken aback and said:
“He is He Liansheng’s uncle.”

Wang Dao mocked:
"How can they compare to your seniority?"

"Don't forget, Hetu was dissolved three days ago, and Heliansheng was established three days ago."

"You don't need to worry about Heliansheng before Hetu."

"Those are all things that have passed by in the past."

"The current Heliansheng was just established three days ago, and you are one of the founders."

"Your qualifications are inferior to anyone else's?"

"If anyone dares to bring up their seniority, slap them across the face!"

Big D's expression changed drastically!

However, Wang Dao clearly didn't want him to have an easy time:
"To be honest, Uncle Deng's approach was not clever at all."

"What's the purpose of this move?"

"This tactic is merely something that the various branches of Heliansheng can use for development."

"In the next two years, I believe my uncles will put their best efforts into training the other hall masters besides you."

"Like Guan Zai Sen, Yu Tou Biao, Tai Po Hei, Jordan Lok Siu, Tall Guy..."

“Your uncles are hoping that someone will stand up and stand up to you.”

Big D roared:
"This is a dream!"

Wang Dao looked at him with pity:
"Considering how much money you spent today, I'll tell you the truth."

"It's impossible for guys from other branches of Lian Sheng to surpass you within two years."

"As long as you don't cause any trouble, if you take the lead, you will stay ahead."

"However, even if someone's power is similar to yours... regardless of whether they have half or eighty percent of your power, as long as they dare to run for the position of hall master, that position will not be yours."

"And it must be that person's!"

Big D was terrified:

"I do not believe!"

Wang Dao said calmly:
"We've eaten together a few times, so we're fair-weather friends."

"I've pointed things out to you; we're friends after all."

"If you don't believe it, then don't believe it."

"Anyway, I've fulfilled my responsibilities as a friend."

"Kun, Binni, have you finished eating?"

Liang Kun and Han Bin nodded in unison:
"I've eaten!"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"I think it's about time, we should go back."

Big D was so shocked by Wang Dao's words that he was completely stunned and didn't hear what the three of them were saying at all.

Sister-in-law D quickly said:

"Li Sheng, Wang Sheng, Han Sheng, Lei Sheng is slow-witted, you must remind him carefully."

Han Bin said gently:
"Sister-in-law, Adao means well by saying that."

He first defined the nature of the kingly way,
"Don't blame me for getting angry, I'm just disappointed in you."

"How many years did I get fooled by those old guys back then?"

"Only Ah Kun and Ah Dao noticed it, so they invited me to switch sides."

"If I don't change my mind, Hetu can certainly exist, but the position of the leader will never be mine, and I will still be used by others."

"Now HeTu is gone, and HeLianSheng has been established, but I want to say that Big D is just like me."

“Even for the sake of their own rule, the uncles would not allow Binney to come to power.”

“I consider Big D a friend, and I don’t want Big D to go through what I’ve been through.”

"That's why I got angry just now."

Liang Kun also said:

"Auntie, thank you for your hospitality."

“Once Big D is sober, you can slowly think about the questions Benny raised.”

"I think he's right."

"However, it's not up to me to decide; it depends on what Big D says."

Sister-in-law D quickly asked for advice:
"So how do we break this deadlock?"

Han Bin sighed:

"Let's wait until Big D wakes up before we talk about it."

"Sister-in-law, thank you for your hospitality."

Sister-in-law D repeatedly said she wouldn't dare, she wanted to see him off herself. Bozi said:

"Sister-in-law, Big D is distracted right now, why don't you stay and keep him company?"

Sister-in-law D didn't insist and quickly called for Long Hair to see the guest off.

When everyone came downstairs, Liang Kun asked them:
"Big D, are you really out of it?"

Wang Dao countered with a question:
"What is the purpose of this banquet today?"

"How would he react if he suddenly heard that he could never be the head of Helian Sheng?"

Handsome Kun shook his head:
"That's really a blow."

Han Bin said in a deep voice:
"Now that we've woken him up, it's not a waste that he spent 200,000 yuan to treat us to dinner."

Wang Dao nodded slightly.

"Yes, if we let him indulge in fantasy, he'll probably die in two years."

Everyone was shocked.

Liang Kun said in astonishment:
"Is it that outrageous?"

Han Bin also said:

"Isn't this an exaggeration?"

"Haven't I been fooled by those old guys at HeTu for years?"

"Nothing happened to me."

Wang Dao rolled his eyes vigorously:
"You really think highly of Big D."

"Binny, is Big D as smart as you?"

Han Bin shook his head decisively. With Big D's brain, how could he be as smart as him?

Just now at the table, Ah Dao, him, and Liang Kun took turns hinting to Big D, but they couldn't get him to understand. What else is there to say?

Wang Dao said calmly:
“Big D wasn’t as clear-headed as Binni. When he sensed something was wrong, Kun invited him, and he decisively switched sides.”

"They abruptly gave up the potential leadership position in the United States."

"That's the head of Hong Kong's number one triad."

"Most people wouldn't give up."

Han Bin shook his head:
"Don't try to flatter me, I just felt something was wrong."

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. If I'm not having a good time in Hetu, why should I stay there?"

Wang Dao said to Vanzi:
"Sister-in-law, this is what true wisdom is!"

"An ordinary person would never accept this."

Handsome Kun chimed in:
"No need to talk about others, just look at Big D and you'll know."

"Look what he's become for the sake of becoming the leader of Heliansheng."

"Big D is still smart, but he's so immersed in his own world that he's unwilling to wake up."

Van's eyes were shining as he looked at Han Bin:
"Of course my husband is amazing."

Han Bin couldn't help but straighten his back and think, "Yes, he is indeed quite wise."

Wang Dao also said:

"Big D is quite outgoing and direct, and doesn't know how to be tactful."

"However, given his strength in Helian Sheng, there's no need for tact."

"Just you wait and see, once this guy comes to his senses, he's definitely going to cause a lot of trouble."

Liang Kun asked:

"Are we going to take action?"

Wang Dao countered with a question:
"Brother Kun, when did you become one of Liansheng's people?"

Liang Kun immediately understood that the kid in front of him was up to no good.

He's not with Lian Sheng, but Wang Dao is? Why make that so clear?
