"Ren Ba is dead."
"Ren Ba is dead?"
Many bosses who had been closely watching the developnts quickly learned of Ren Ba’s death, and it wasn’t even ten minutes after the Dragon Guards had left the bath center.
"Ren Ba has died, and he had gathered so of his n to ambush this mysterious person delivering the invitations. As a result, two-thirds of Ren Ba’s trusted three cats and six dogs were wiped out—only two managed to escape; the ferocious dog, Leng Fei, had his limbs broken and was taken away."
"Hisss."
Hearing this complete piece of information, people gasped in shock.
"Ren Ba had seven or eight bath centers under his control, along with other businesses, and he kept many henchn. He even recruited several skilled fighters from the world as bodyguards. His ’three cats and six dogs’ were quite well-known in the world, but that ferocious dog, Leng Fei, was one of the most formidable under Ren Ba—and he just died like that?"
"I have dealt with this Leng Fei before. He was fierce and not much of a talker, but he was honorable, and his n were willing to risk their lives to serve him. It’s a pity he got involved with soone like Ren Ba, who was nothing but a pretender."
"Boss, they took Leng Fei away. What does that an?"
Beside him, one of Chen Haotian’s trusted n asked with a furrowed brow.
Chen Haotian gave a wry smile, "Do I even need to say it? If the other party could deliver the invitation right into our hands, what does that tell you?"
"The other party must have had a good grasp of who we are long ago. Ren Ba was a waste, but Leng Fei was a talent. There must be many who wanted to win him over; even I was very interested in this Leng Fei."
"Now, we just don’t know who this Hidden Dragon sending the invitations really is."
Chen Haotian sighed.
"Boss, even if the other party is ambitious, we are not pushovers. Besides, all our venues have powerful backers, and if they really try to ss with us, they would be offending our protectors."
Chen Haotian nodded.
Their nightlife and bath centers were very lucrative industries. To operate in this field, one needed backing; they contributed at least seventy percent of their profits to those behind them every year.
"We will know once we go there tomorrow."
At a private hospital in Sea City, in a luxurious ward.
Baili Tao, who had been injured by a Ninja dispatched by Zheng Shan, was lying in the ward. Baili Hai naturally had also learned of tonight’s developnts.
"Dad, what does this Li Feng an by sending invitations at this ti? Does he intend to take over all entertainnt outlets in Sea City?"
After Baili Hai spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at the old man’s expression. "Dad, this Hidden Dragon’s appetite seems a bit big."
Baili Tao looked up at Baili Hai.
"Hmph, if he didn’t have a big appetite, he wouldn’t be able to call himself a Gold Master. Everyone who can call themselves a Gold Master is soone who consus others without a trace of remorse. After all, our Sea City is a top-tier market, especially with the nightlife venues, which churn out massive amounts of money."
"Moreover, it’s all cash flow. Where do you think the money in this Gold Master’s hands cos from?"
"I know it humiliates you to cower and kneel, but you should also think about the consequences of offending a Gold Master. Our family’s major businesses are in mariti transport and real estate. After Yuan Hua’s incident, our family was effectively crippled. If it weren’t for the Zheng family being too hasty this ti, excluding their rivals, our family would have likely fallen from a second-tier family to a third-tier one."
"Dad, haven’t we co over now?"
Baili Tao interrupted Baili Hai sharply, "Let finish first. You are indeed clever, capable, and flexible, with a thick skin. With these qualities, it’s not difficult for you to achieve wealth and prestige."
"But if you have greater ambitions, stop right there; you’re not cut out for that."
"Besides, the Lin Family is just a puppet being pushed to the front, the true forces behind the scenes are a hidden, major Family."
"That’s an entity one should not provoke; let’s leave this Li Feng alone."
"Ah, dad, there really are hidden major Families!"
"Of course there are. Here in Sea City, one can’t even count all the claws and teeth of the opponent. The Lin Family simply has a fairly prestigious position, but there are many other families that are their vassals. Our Baili Family is now one of them too."
Baili Hai looked at Baili Tao in astonishnt, "Dad, does that an we’re going to be soone’s dogs now?"
Baili Tao glared at Baili Hai, "Mhm, to be dogs. So people aren’t willing to be dogs, wanting to resist, but to no avail."
"Ah!"
"Do you know about the Huo Family?"
"Yes, I even attended Huo Yongtao’s engagent ceremony with Miss Pei from the Pei Family. That Huo Yongtao is part of the Huo Family, right?"
"The Huo Family offended the hidden major Family in the past, leading to their downfall. Huo Yongtao is still alive only because he was young."
Baili Hai looked at his father’s expression, "Dad, is there any more hidden story in this?"
