Marbach Island has an area of ​​326 square kilometers and a population of 40, of which nearly 10 are Chinese.

Life on the island was relatively peaceful until the 1980s when a gold mine was discovered there, a rich gold mine with an annual output of nearly 10 tons.

The local indigenous chief immediately mobilized his army to seize the gold mine and then forcibly drove the local Chinese to the mine to dig for gold. Of course, at first only a small number of Chinese were involved, but as the mining area grew larger and larger, eventually nearly 10 Chinese on the island were all turned into miners.

When Li Jun arrived on that island to carry out his mission, out of 10 Chinese, less than 3 remained. The tragic scene that Li Jun witnessed reminded him of this island immediately after hearing He Xian's story.

Li Jun asked He Xian to help him investigate whether this island existed in this world. To Li Jun's surprise, the island, named Mabast Island, actually existed in this world.

After reviewing the documents in his hand, Li Jun had a general understanding of the situation on Mabast Island in this world.

Gold was discovered on that island two years ago, and mining is still on a small scale. The local indigenous chieftain is currently only using Chinese and indigenous prisoners as miners.

But Li Jun knew that the gold mine would soon collapse, and after that, the rich gold mine would be exposed to everyone. At that time, the Chinese on the island would face their nightmare.

Fortunately, Li Jun came into this world, and this place will become the first stop for Li Jun to establish himself in Southeast Asia.

"Mr. He, thank you."

After reviewing the information about Mabast Island, Li Jun put the documents back on the table and sincerely thanked He Xian.

"Jun, there's no need to be so polite. But I'm curious, what are you planning to do now?"

He Xian looked at Li Jun and slowly asked.

“Mr. He, you should know very well that Luzon is ostensibly a country, but in reality it is a tribal confederation forcibly formed by the foreigners. After being supported by the foreigners, the chiefs of those indigenous tribes transformed into local government officials and warlords, and their territories became states within a state.”

"My move against Mabast Island is not actually about taking down the country of Luzon, but about taking down the warlord who controls Mabast Island."

Li Jun replied with a smile.

In reality, all the countries in Southeast Asia, except for Vietnam, Angkor, Laoag, and Singapore, were forcibly created by foreigners.

These countries appear to be one nation on the surface, but in reality they are warlord complexes.

Even in a country like Siam with a history spanning hundreds of years, apart from the Chao Phraya River plain, other regions were filled with warlords who did not obey the central government's command.

Therefore, doing business in Southeast Asia may seem difficult, but it's not difficult at all once you find the right approach.

"Ah Jun, it's not that simple. Getting those warlords to back down will be extremely difficult. Although they act independently internally, they are very united externally. To win over one of them, you have to win over all of them."

He Xian said quietly.

Clearly, his experience was no less than Li Jun's.

"Hahaha, Mr. He, this is where I am better than you. You have a foundation and a base of influence. You dare not go too far, otherwise, when international pressure comes, even if you are the 'King of Macau', you will not be able to withstand it."

"But I'm different. I have no power base, I'm all alone. When I die, I hang myself in the sky. If I don't die, I'll live for ten thousand years. Which of those warlords is so powerful and wealthy that they would trade their lives for mine?"

Li Jun laughed heartily.

Upon hearing Li Jun's words, He Xian's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood what Li Jun meant.

It was precisely because Li Jun had no business foundation that the foreigners in the Hong Kong British government could not do anything to him. If they tried to undermine his business, he could only steal all his money. If they tried to undermine Hung Hing, even if they banned Hung Hing, they could not kill tens of thousands of Hung Hing members at once.

As long as Li Jun, the key figure, is still around, he can form a new Hung Hing at any time.

Aside from humane annihilation, no other method works on Li Jun. Most importantly, although Li Jun seems to act madly, a closer look reveals that he always acts within the bounds of propriety, stopping short of causing serious harm. This makes his opponents reluctant to go all out against him, while they are powerless against him with minor skirmishes, leaving them in a very difficult position.

“Ah Jun, I understand what you mean. Go ahead and do it. Even if you don’t succeed, with this old man here, Haojiang will always be your fallback plan.”

He Xian smiled slightly and spoke slowly.

“Mr. He, I don’t think I need your backup plan.”

Li Jun replied with a smile.

After reviewing the information, Li Jun learned that not only does this world have Mabast Island, but the warlord who governs the island is also the same person.

This was fantastic news for Li Jun, because he knew this warlord family very well!

"Ah Jun, don't give me hope yet. I'm too old to handle any more stress."

Facing the confident Li Jun, He Xian revealed a bitter smile, clearly indicating that the old man had experienced far too much disappointment in his life.

“Mr. He, just wait. I’ll be waiting for you on Marbach Island in a week.”

After saying this with a smile, Li Jun bid farewell to He Xian. Now that he had obtained what he needed, Li Jun planned to fly to Luzon today to finish the preliminary preparations, and then return to Hong Kong to settle things with the HSBC vault.

Next will be his first battle to dominate Southeast Asia.

Half an hour later, at the He Family Manor.

"Ah Jun, you're here."

As soon as Li Jun got out of the Rolls-Royce, He Tian'er immediately came up to him, took his arm, and said with a smile.

"Ah."

Li Jun smiled and nodded, then He Tian'er pulled him into the villa.

"Hello, uncle, hello, aunt."

Li Jun looked at He Xin, who had a displeased expression, and A-Mei, who had a smiling face, and greeted her with a smile.

"Xin, why are you like this? This is Tian'er's first time bringing her boyfriend home, cheer up..."

Seeing her husband's displeased expression, Amei quickly whispered something.

He Xin didn't want to tell his wife that the guy in front of him had blown up their house the night before last. If he hadn't run away quickly, it would have been the seventh day after his death in five days.

"Smile."

Amei tugged at Hexin's sleeve and whispered urgently.

"Hehe, Ah Jun, hello."

At his wife's insistence, He Xin forced a smile that looked more like a grimace as he spoke to Li Jun.

"Jun, your uncle has been in a bad mood these past two days. It's not directed at you, so don't take it to heart."

A-mei quickly explained on behalf of her husband.

"It's alright, Auntie, I completely understand."

Li Jun truly understands.

"Good that you understand. You're a good young man. Not bad, Tian'er, you have good taste."

Amei looked at Li Jun and became more and more satisfied. Not only was he handsome, but his temperament was also top-notch.

"..."

Seeing his wife's enthusiasm, He Xin was speechless.

"Mom and Dad, let's sit down and talk."

Seeing that her father was still embarrassed, He Tian'er tried to ease the atmosphere.

But the next half hour was basically a question-and-answer session between A-mei and Li Jun.

In just half an hour, A-mei was already thinking about when she could hold her grandson.

"Jun, have lunch at home. What would you like to eat? I'll have the kitchen prepare it."

It's clear that in A-mei's eyes, Li Jun is already her son-in-law.

"Auntie, I'm so sorry, I have to rush to Southeast Asia to discuss a business deal today, and I really don't have enough time. Next time, next time for sure."

It takes 3 hours to fly from Haojiang to Luzon. Li Jun was on He Xian's private plane, so there was plenty of time. But looking at He Xin's face, he knew that the old man was in a bad mood. Li Jun didn't like to fawn over someone who was cold to him, so he just left.

"Alright then, next time you come to Haojiang, you must eat at home, otherwise your aunt will be angry."

Amei said to Li Jun with a smile.

Afterwards, Li Jun and He Tian'er spent some more time gazing at each other outside the villa before getting into the Rolls-Royce they had arrived in.

"Third Brother, let's go to the airport."

Li Jun waved goodbye to He Tian'er, then spoke to Huang San.

"Didn't your father-in-law offer you dinner?"

Huang San joked.

"My father-in-law needs to adjust his mindset; everything takes time to accept."

Li Jun replied with a smile.

Meanwhile, when He Tian'er returned to her villa after seeing Li Jun off, she heard her mother, A-mei, scolding her father. 1.0

"Xin, you look so pale. If I were you, I wouldn't stay home for dinner either!"

He Xin looked helpless after being scolded by his sister. When he saw He Tian'er return, he immediately said to her, "Tian'er, come to the study with me. I have something to tell you."

at the same time.

Hong Kong Island, the Governor's Residence.

Governor Eugene, Chief Executive Shek Hong, Commissioner of Police Mak Yan-ho, Financial Secretary Jeremy Rodgers, and Secretary for Justice Chow Ping-man sat in Eugene's office, exchanging silent glances, all with extremely grim expressions.

They had recently received news from Macau that all of MI6's dozen or so agents had been killed, and the $100 million used to ransom the military transport plane had gone missing.

It means they paid such a high price, but gained nothing except an apology from Macau.

‘Ring ring ring~’

Just then, a phone rang, attracting the attention of all the foreigners present.
