One of the n took off his sunglasses, revealing a sinister cyclopean eye. Pointing in the direction where Ling Zhenfei had disappeared, he said grimly, "That kid just now, that was Ling Zhenfei! A Tu, how confident are you in defeating him?"
Undoubtedly, this man with the cyclopean eye was none other than the Cyclops Mountain Eagle.
Last ti, the Cyclops Mountain Eagle boasted in front of Liang Yida that he could take on Ling Zhenfei. Since then, he had secretly conducted extensive inquiries about Ling Zhenfei and, learning that Zhenfei was not easy to deal with, he sought help from his boss, the Nine Lives Wildcat.
Of course, in the eyes of the Nine Lives Wildcat, Ling Zhenfei was nothing more than a minor figure, not worth his personal involvent. So the Nine Lives Wildcat sent his trusted henchman, A Tu, to handle the matter.
A Tu was an enforcer for the Nine Lives Wildcat, but he was also a martial artist; his cultivation had reached the Final Stage of Physical Tempering Realm. Although he wasn't considered a top master, there were indeed very few in the ordinary world who could stand as his rival.
"How confident I am can't be asured by words, it has to be tested to be known!"
A Tu was sharp-eyed. Though he had only glimpsed Ling Zhengfei from a distance, he already knew this young man wouldn't be easy to handle.
Upon hearing Cyclops Mountain Eagle's question, a strange expression flashed in his eyes, and even his response seed ambiguous.
"This... A Tu, what are you planning on doing?"
The Cyclops Mountain Eagle knew well that A Tu was a very arrogant man. If even A Tu wasn't quite confident, did that an Ling Zhenfei was truly invincible?
"How I deal with him is my business; you don't need to worry about that. When I succeed, you will naturally know," he said.
Despite Cyclops Mountain Eagle being a favorite in front of the Nine Lives Wildcat, A Tu's status was not low either. And his haughty nature made him look down on the Cyclops Mountain Eagle, let alone act according to his preferences!
After speaking, A Tu left. Although his manner was quite disrespectful, for the ti being, the Cyclops Mountain Eagle had to rely on him to confront Ling Zhenfei, and thus could only swallow his pride.
...
Ling Zhenfei drove back to Fatty's restaurant, and it was already approaching dusk.
At this ti, the business at Fatty's restaurant was at its peak, and Fatty was busy and happy. Ling Zhenfei handed him his car keys, ready to leave, but Fatty called out to him.
"Boss, wait here for a while, I'll take you to et soone in a bit," Fatty ca over, smiling at Ling Zhenfei.
"et who? You're being so mysterious!" Seeing the secretive look on Fatty's face, Ling Zhenfei was puzzled and asked in astonishnt.
"Boss, at the last ornantal fish trade fair, didn't you buy a Golden Arowana that had a mouthful of fry? How is it now?"
Rather than answering Ling Zhenfei's question, Fatty changed the subject.
"Golden Arowana?" Upon Fatty's reminder, Ling Zhenfei recalled.
Indeed, he had been fortunate enough to purchase a Golden Arowana with fry in its mouth at the last ornantal fish trade fair. However, after returning, he had released them all into the mystical space and had been too busy to check on them since.
Now, hearing Fatty bring it up, Ling Zhenfei also wanted to know the current state of the Golden Arowana, so he imdiately focused his mind and turned his Perspective Eye inward.
Upon internal inspection, Ling Zhenfei was astonished to find that in the mystical space, the small fry had all grown substantially. Moreover, nourished by the Northern Spiritual Energy of the space, the fry seed spirited as they swam energetically in the aquarium.
As for the large Golden Arowana, it was nothing like its forr dejected state, surveying its territory and subjects like a Great General, very imposing indeed.
The fish tank Ling Zhenfei originally purchased wasn't very big, and as these fish fry grew, the tank seed to have beco rather cramped.
"Boss…"
Fatty saw Ling Zhenfei standing there, staring blankly, and couldn't help but push his arm, sowhat puzzled.
"Uh… oh, right!"
Jolted by the push, Ling Zhenfei ca to his senses and quickly said, "Yeah, those Golden Arowanas are great. I was even planning on opening a fish pond on the farm to specifically breed these ornantal fish!"
Breeding ornantal fish had always been one of Ling Zhenfei's ideas. It was just that with the farm under renovation and the plantation not yet sorted, Ling Zhenfei had not yet put plans into action for this new venture.
"Boss, I know you've always wanted to get into the ornantal fish business. In fact, the prospects of the ornantal fish market are currently very promising, and the profits are substantial. I've been wanting to get in on it too," Fatty said.
After hearing this, Fatty imdiately flashed a mysterious smile at Ling Zhenfei and then said, "Boss, there's a great opportunity available right now. I'll take you with later, and you'll understand."
"What is it exactly? Do you have to be so secretive?"
Seeing Fatty still playing coy, Ling Zhenfei's brow furrowed even more, and he urged, "Co on, what is it? Who are you planning to take to et later?"
"It's like this!"
Pressed by Ling Zhenfei, Fatty no longer kept it a secret and said gravely, "A well-known fish rchant from Dao Wo Country, Ikeda Yasushi, has arrived in Binyang. The Ikeda Family specializes in breeding Koi. Their Koi are famous throughout the whole Dao Wo Country and are even exported overseas at high prices.
I have arranged to et Ikeda Yasushi tonight at the Royal No.1 Club. I plan to buy a batch of Koi from him and then resell them for a tidy profit. Boss, since you're here too, I'll introduce you to him. Perhaps we can acquire a larger batch while we're there."
Fatty was very enthusiastic as he spoke, and upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei could not help but be moved as well.
He, of course, knew that Koi, just like Golden Arowanas, were the darlings of ornantal fish enthusiasts. Especially the Koi bred in the Japanese Country, renowned worldwide, starting at prices of hundreds of thousands for the lowest grades.
Now that he had the good fortune to et the most famous fish rchant from Dao Wo Country, why not buy a batch of Koi fry from him to formally kick-start his own ornantal fish breeding business?
With that thought, Ling Zhenfei nodded in agreent to et up with Fatty later.
"Great, Boss. Just wait here a little while. Let get things sorted out at the store, and then we'll go together," Fatty said.
Seeing that Ling Zhenfei had agreed, Fatty was overjoyed. He told Ling Zhenfei to wait in the living room while he busied himself with other matters.
Ling Zhenfei waited for about twenty minutes until Fatty had wrapped up his work. Then Fatty drove Ling Zhenfei to the Royal No.1 Club.
Binhai was a tropolis with a large population and an endless number of entertainnt venues. While the Royal No.1 Club might not be top-tier luxury, it was still extrely well-known among the city's nightlife spots.
The Royal No.1 Club was part of the nightlife scene, and such venues were often products straddling the line between the underworld and the lawful world, naturally maintaining certain inseparable connections with the underground society.
