After breakfast, Ling Zhenfei drove towards the city center. He had arranged to et Lei Tian and the Twin Dragons Society at noon today.
Ling Zhenfei was sure the Twin Dragons were two experts, but exactly what kind of experts, he did not know.
Going today to properly et these two, but ideally without resorting to violence.
Upon arriving at Lei Tian's turf, so followers were already waiting outside. They respectfully led Ling Zhenfei inside to et Lei Tian and the other two.
After seeing Ling Zhenfei, there was inevitably so small talk.
The four sat down for tea as Lei Tian briefly explained the situation.
The situation was very straightforward: both sides bring fewer people to et and talk.
Ling Zhenfei asked, "Where's the location?"
Lei Tian said, "The place they picked, Fengyun Tea House."
Ling Zhenfei responded, "Why does the na of this tea house make feel it won't be very peaceful?"
Han Zhaolong said, "It's alright, it's an old tea house. Supposedly any negotiation like this always takes place there—it's got experience."
Ling Zhenfei asked, "Is there anything we need to pay close attention to?"
Han Zhaolong replied, "Of course, always be on guard for ambushes. I think this matter won't be so simple."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Do you think the negotiations will fall apart?"
Liang Tian said, "Here's the situation now: though they're the newcors, they're stronger than the three of us. And since we initiated the negotiation, we're at a disadvantage."
Ling Zhenfei understood and said, "You're saying they might go wild with their demands?"
Lei Tian remarked, "We can definitely make so concessions, but if they get greedy, then there's nothing we can do, and it'll just crumble."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Then this negotiation is aningless. Ideally, negotiations should aim for agreent."
Han Zhaolong said, "Negotiations are indeed aiming for success. Even if they fail, it's fine. Even if those two dragons are strong, such a large territory can't be held by just two people."
Ling Zhenfei knew that anyone involved in Jianghu definitely had a temper, and no one wanted to concede. But if no one concedes, then negotiations are pointless.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Then let's discuss it during the negotiation and see their attitude and demands."
After chatting and tea, when ti was about right, Ling Zhenfei followed Lei Tian and the others to Fengyun Tea House.
It appeared to be a small tea house, but from outside, it felt different.
Amongst those around were many people from the underworld, though they tried hard to disguise their identities. Ling Zhenfei saw through them at a glance.
These people were clearly dressed like mbers of the Three Killers Club and Twin Dragons Society.
The tea house was old, and the staff were quite particular in their speech and behavior—clearly worldly.
The interior design was interesting, downstairs like any other tea house, yet upstairs had large private rooms—clearly for special purposes.
Even the chairs were fastened to the floor with clasps; moving them was difficult, obviously designed to prevent any violence.
After entering, Ling Zhenfei and the others found that the others hadn't arrived yet.
The four knew that the Three Killers Club was still being kept at bay by the Twin Dragons Society, so the others were likely showing off.
Once seated, the staff served tea and so small snacks.
Sitting and waiting for the Twin Dragons Society people, suddenly so subordinates approached them.
"Bosses, we've spotted Xu San from East City and Wang Daozi from West City appearing nearby."
The four were surprised, unsure why these two appeared.
Han Zhaolong asked, "Brother, what do you think they want?"
Lei Tian thought for a mont, then said, "Only two possibilities: one is targeting the Twin Dragons Society; those two dragons disrupt more than just our territory."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Another possibility is they're joining the excitent, discussing everything during the negotiation. Which one do you think is more likely?"
Lei Tian said, "Both possibilities exist, let's see their actions."
Information kept coming from subordinates; sure enough, both groups headed to Fengyun Tea House.
Liang Tian glanced out the window and said, "They've arrived."
Ling Zhenfei also looked outside and indeed saw two groups arriving.
Before long, several people ca upstairs, and Lei Tian and the others quickly went to greet them.
In the underworld, everyone knew each other by sight, so appearances were crucial.
There was plenty of small talk, with Ling Zhenfei examining two people, Xu San from East City, who seed deeply strategic.
Encountering him on the street, you might not know who he was, perhaps mistaking him for a university professor.
But such people are more intimidating once their identities are revealed.
eting him, he greeted cheerfully with smiles, very courteous.
The other called Wang Daozi, sotis known as Daozi Wang; these are just nicknas. Others only know his surna is Wang, nothing else. He always keeps a small knife, twirling it in his hands.
This person's strength could not be underestimated—he possessed Zhiyi Realm Advanced Late Stage strength.
Such strength slightly exceeded that of Lei Tian and others, hence his longstanding leadership in West City.
After the small talk, Lei Tian introduced Ling Zhenfei to them.
ntioning his na, both Xu San and Wang Daozi were surprised; everyone in Binyang knew Ling Zhenfei's na.
A quick approach to greet Ling Zhenfei followed, more small talk, so much that it felt slightly aningless to Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei did not say much, as these were Jianghu matters, with Lei Tian taking the lead.
Lei Tian asked, "Xu San, Big Brother Wang, what brings you here?"
Wang Daozi said, "You've been negotiating with those two dragons, we've heard far and wide—we had to co and see."
Xu San said, "Those two dragons are expanding wildly, disregarding our feelings. Aside from the North City Xiahou, we're all targeted by them.
Since you're negotiating, we had to co and see, hear what they really want."
Wang Daozi said, "I'm different, I don't believe you're sincerely negotiating. Surely you're planning to catch them all at once. Today we've co to see what they say; if it doesn't work out, I'll stab them."
Lei Tian replied, "Let's not say such things now. Today's negotiation won't be easy. Though the ti has co, they still haven't arrived; unclear what's their plan."
Xu San said, "The Twin Dragons Society's furious expansion feels unstoppable. How can they negotiate properly? If they negotiate, they'll surely go wild with demands."
