Chapter 84 The Fleeting Affection of Kinship?
"If a camel can't even manage its own underlings, it's not worthy of being the leader."
"Recruiting followers isn't just about elevating them; it's also about keeping them in check. If you can't even control your own followers, what kind of leader are you?"
"Even if Lei Yaoyang really dares to assassinate me, I won't just kill him directly."
"If he dares to come once, I'll let him go and send a message back to the camels."
"I want to see just how much territory and money Tung Sing has to compensate us."
"Let the whole underworld see just how incompetent Tung Sing really is. They can't even control their own Five Tigers, and in the end, they can only give our Hung Hing benefits and lose face time and time again."
Ye Tian leaned back in his chair leisurely, a hint of amusement in his voice: "With Lei Yaoyang as a spice of life, the days ahead shouldn't be too boring."
Lin Fu didn't say anything more. He silently walked to the side, took out his phone, and started calling the other leaders of Hung Hing one by one to report the situation and remind them to be wary of Lei Yaoyang's retaliation.
He thought to himself, "Perhaps it's because I'm too capable, managing everything so perfectly, that Brother Tian finds life too boring and wants to find some fun?"
Luo Tianhong rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with a fighting spirit, and chuckled, "Boss, how about we have a friendly spar?"
Ye Tian raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly mocking: "You beat Xiao Fu?"
Luo Tianhong was instantly speechless, her cheeks flushed red, and she couldn't utter a single rebuttal for a long time.
Lin Fu spoke slowly, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable certainty: "In terms of martial arts skills, he is no match for me."
"If it were a weapons duel, it would be a draw."
"Tianhong, you still need to practice more."
Luo Tianhong grew increasingly indignant, clenching her fists, her tone full of resentment: "The boss already said that my body hasn't fully developed yet. Once my muscles and bones are strong enough, let's see how you'll suppress me then!"
Lin Fu couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes full of indulgence.
Ye Tian also laughed, and their smiles carried a hint of the tolerance of elders towards younger people.
The blue-haired boy, increasingly frustrated by their laughter, retorted angrily, "One day I will become the best in the world!"
On the other side, after leaving Siu B's funeral hall, Situ Haonan drove straight to Uncle Ben's residence without stopping.
That's right, the person he wanted to see first wasn't Camel, the leader of Tung Sing, but Uncle Ben, who was like a strategist.
Uncle Ben was sitting on a large mahogany sofa, holding a glass of red wine in his hand and a cigar between his fingers, looking calm and composed, as if he had expected his arrival: "This kid Ye Tian, although he is known in the martial arts world as the Sky-Piercing Dragon, if you think of him as just a simple-minded martial arts brute, you would be very wrong."
"He's not the kind of simple character who only knows how to fight and kill."
Situ Haonan looked puzzled and frowned as he asked, "Then how should we view him? Does he have some unknown identity?"
Uncle Ben gently swirled his wine glass, the red liquid tracing graceful arcs on the glass, and said in a serious tone, "Just treat him as a pure businessman, that's all."
Situ Haonan stared in astonishment, his eyes widening: "A businessman?"
"How could someone involved in a triad be a businessman?"
Uncle Ben sighed, his tone carrying a deeper meaning: "After the negotiations ended yesterday, I specifically had someone conduct a preliminary investigation into him, and the result revealed a tremendous secret."
Situ Haonan shuddered, his body involuntarily leaning forward: "Even you, Uncle Ben, say it's a big secret, so just how astonishing is this secret?"
Uncle Ben slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes becoming profound: "The information about Ye Tian in the martial arts world is all common knowledge and superficial; there's nothing to delve into."
"His past experiences and style of doing things, though seemingly flamboyant, were actually a deliberate attempt to guide other people's perceptions."
"Just mention 'Qingtianlong Ye Tian,' and we don't even need to ask around; anyone in the underworld who knows him can talk about him for ages."
"But these are all things that Ye Tian deliberately made known to others."
Situ Haonan swallowed hard, his voice filled with urgency: "What information is he hiding? Does he have another identity?"
Uncle Ben put down his wine glass and said in a serious tone, "This guy is actually one of Hong Kong's hidden tycoons, a top-tier billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of millions."
Situ Haonan was horrified and almost jumped out of his chair: "A billionaire? At Ye Tian's age? How old is he? How could he have accumulated so much wealth?"
Uncle Ben shook his head, his tone somewhat dismissive: "How could you have such a thought?"
Is there any necessary connection between ability and age?
"I'll tell you something, and you'll understand."
"Hung Hing is financially powerful now. You should know what their most profitable projects are, right?"
Situ Haonan nodded and said with certainty, "Of course I know, it's the arcade business."
"The arcade market in Hong Kong is basically controlled by Hung Hing. We, Tung Sing, also wanted to get a few arcade machines and share the pie. We sent people to Okamoto to inquire several times, but they refused us each time."
Uncle Ben's face darkened, and his tone became serious: "Of course they won't allow you to interfere. Do you know who the real boss behind this company that monopolizes the Hong Kong arcade market is?"
Situ Haonan's pupils constricted sharply, and he said in disbelief, "It...it can't be Ye Tian, can it?"
Uncle Ben nodded slightly and said with certainty, "That's right, it's him!"
Situ Haonan was completely shocked, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Uncle Ben continued slowly, "And then there's karaoke, which is all the rage right now. Although it was invented in Okamoto, its rapid spread here is inseparable from the promotion and support of VCDs."
"Do you know who holds the core patents for VCDs?"
Situ Haonan was completely numb, his mind went blank, and he was completely unable to speak.
Situ Haonan exclaimed, "This is absolutely impossible! How could a billionaire have such formidable skills?"
"I couldn't even withstand a single move from him; I was completely powerless to fight back."
"Even Lian Haolong, who is loyal and trustworthy, has never given me such a strong sense of pressure."
The thought of his previous duel with Ye Tian still haunted Situ Haonan, and he had nightmares all night.
To be honest, launching a sudden attack at the negotiating table was a pre-planned strategy that Dongxing had already devised.
Since everyone here is involved in a gang, not running an ordinary company, when negotiations break down, a fight or a commotion can often increase one's bargaining power.
To put it bluntly, this is a deterrent tactic, a set of rules.
If the outcome of the negotiations had been unfavorable to Hung Hing, they would most likely have used the same tactic to launch an attack.
When Situ Haonan made his move, although it was based on a pre-established strategy, he absolutely did not hold back and went all out!
Taking action during negotiations is about demonstrating one's resolve and strength; the more impressive the effect, the better.
Unfortunately, it was Dongxing's side that was ultimately shocked.
Ye Tian knocked him unconscious with a single palm strike, and the psychological impact on the Dongxing group was simply indescribable.
"I've practiced martial arts since I was a child, so I know best how arduous it is to learn martial arts."
"Ye Tian's skills are far superior to mine. To maintain such peak performance, he must practice diligently every day without daring to slack off in the slightest."
"But he's a billionaire, with plenty of money and resources around him, why would he be willing to endure this kind of hardship?"
"I've even decided to tell my son to stop practicing martial arts in the future. It's just too hard and tiring, and there's not much of a future in it."
Situ Haonan was completely confused, unable to understand the contradiction.
Uncle Ben shook his head slightly, his tone carrying a hint of understanding: "You've forgotten Ye Tian's background."
Situ Haonan was taken aback: "Ye Tian's background? Is there anything special about his background?"
Uncle Ben bluntly stated, "He is an illegitimate child. He lost his mother when he was seven years old and has been following Liang Kun around in the underworld ever since."
"That child grew up in a sea of suffering; he endured far more hardship than we can imagine."
"Do you know what can truly make someone who has lacked a sense of security since childhood feel at ease?"
Situ Haonan thought for a moment, then tentatively said, "Money? With enough money, I should feel at ease, right?"
Uncle Ben snorted coldly, his tone tinged with disdain: "Money is certainly one factor, but it doesn't necessarily bring absolute security."
"These kinds of people, deep down, only believe in two things: their own fists and true family ties."
Situ Haonan's mouth dropped open, his face filled with disbelief: "No way? Isn't Ye Tian an orphan? He would still believe in something as intangible as family ties?"
