The atmosphere inside the teahouse became tense with Chen Xiao's words.

Qi Tianhu instantly tensed all his muscles, ready to fight at any moment.

Although he might not be of much help if a real fight broke out, he still had to show his attitude.

Han Jiuqian's expression changed repeatedly, but in the end, he smiled gently.

"Hehe, Mr. Chen, my personal stance has always been to value harmony. Since Mr. Chen is unwilling to cooperate with me today, I won't force it."

"Moreover, it's an honor to get to know a heroic figure like you!"

Han Jiuqian's words left Qi Tianhu speechless.

He didn't expect Han Jiuqian to endure this.

However, this guy was talking pure nonsense. If the Wolf Gang advocated peace, he wouldn't have such a big grudge against them!

But on second thought, Qi Tianhu understood.

The arrival of the Underworld Palace was a major threat, and Han Jiuqian was too busy to deal with himself, so he naturally didn't want to create another powerful enemy.

Han Jiuqian got up to leave, but then Chen Xiao said again, "Mr. Han, I didn't say I definitely wouldn't cooperate with you, so why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Han Jiuqian's eyes widened, and his face showed a look of amusement. "Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that?"

"I just observed you and found that you're not as bad as I thought. Since there's a major enemy in front of us, having one more friend is better than having one more enemy!"

In fact, Chen Xiao was just testing Han Jiuqian.

If Han Jiuqian lost his temper on the spot, Chen Xiao would definitely have a big fight with him.

But Han Jiuqian actually held back, and Chen Xiao thought he was a man who could accomplish great things.

Able to bend and stretch, he could work with him.

Han Jiuqian looked at Chen Xiao in disbelief. It was only then that he realized that he had been unknowingly led by the nose by the other party.

This was rare for Han Jiuqian.

Immediately, Han Jiuqian's evaluation of Chen Xiao rose a few notches.

"Let's form a temporary alliance to contend against the Underworld Palace. After it's done, the alliance will automatically dissolve. At that time, those who have grievances will have someone to seek revenge from. If Mr. Han wants to seek revenge on me again, I, Chen Xiao, will definitely be at your service!"

Chen Xiao's words clearly defined the boundaries.

Clear and distinct, without any ambiguity.

Even Han Jiuqian had to give Chen Xiao a thumbs up in his heart.

This person was very interesting, acting recklessly on the surface, but with a clear sense of order.

And behind that was his strong confidence.

From this moment on, Han Jiuqian dared not underestimate Chen Xiao.

He originally thought that he was just good at fighting, but he didn't expect his mind to be just as capable!

Han Jiuqian slapped the table and praised loudly:

"What a Mr. Chen! Straightforward and quick! I admire you to the ground."

"Our past grievances have been cleared here, and from now on, they're wiped out. Of course, if Mr. Chen wants to make trouble for me, I will also be at your service!"

Chen Xiao and Han Jiuqian looked at each other, like the tip of a needle to a wheat awn.

However, as they looked at each other, the two of them smiled at each other.

Although Qi Tianhu was confused, he had a feeling.

That was the feeling of heroes cherishing each other!

Han Jiuqian seemed to be in a great mood and said again, "Mr. Chen, we hit it off at first sight. I have prepared a small gift, and I hope Mr. Chen will accept it with a smile."

Then, without waiting for Chen Xiao to agree, Han Jiuqian raised his hands to his ears and clapped three times.

Immediately afterward, there was a noise outside the door.

The next moment, a soldier came in to report, "Boss Chen, Tiger, the Wolf Gang is trying to break in."

Chen Xiao waved his hand, "Let them in."

Then, two Wolf Gang underlings dragged a person into the teahouse.

As soon as he entered, the man was pushed to the ground.

He was wearing a black hood, tied up like a dumpling.

Chen Xiao looked puzzled and asked, "Mr. Han, who is this person?"

Han Jiuqian removed the man's hood, revealing an old man with a haggard face.

Chen Xiao looked familiar, but he was very sure that he had never seen him before.

It was not until Han Jiuqian said his name that Chen Xiao knew who he was.

He was Long Qianzhan, Long Yaoyang's father.

After seeing Chen Xiao, Long Qianzhan's pale face suddenly aroused monstrous hatred.

"You beast, I want to kill you! Avenge my son!"

Long Qianzhan didn't know where he got the strength from, but he suddenly got up and crashed into Chen Xiao.

The result was not difficult to guess. Chen Xiao kicked him in the stomach, and Long Qianzhan fainted from the pain.

At this time, Han Jiuqian explained, "Mr. Chen, this old bastard came to my door and offered 20 million to buy your head!"

Chen Xiao touched his head. "Only 20 million? Is my head so worthless?"

Han Jiuqian smiled slightly. "Hehe, Mr. Chen is joking. Not to mention 20 million, even 200 million, I can't take this job."

Chen Xiao pretended to be surprised. "You won't take 200 million? That's not a low price!"

Han Jiuqian said, "It's indeed not low, but I never do things that I'm not sure about. If I take this job, the one who loses his head in the end might be me!"

The two smiled at each other again.

Han Jiuqian was indeed a smart man, saying the right thing to the right person.

Even Chen Xiao had to admit that this person's talent was above Qi Tianhu's.

After the matter was settled, Han Jiuqian didn't dawdle and left with his men.

Qi Tianhu looked at Long Qianzhan on the ground and asked, "Boss, what should we do with this old bastard? Should we..."

As he spoke, Qi Tianhu made a throat-cutting gesture.

Chen Xiao looked at Long Qianzhan on the ground, but finally shook his head. "Just throw him out."

Chen Xiao was vengeful, but that was for opponents of comparable strength.

And Long Qianzhan was obviously not in that category.

Chen Xiao even felt that this person was very pitiful, and he had no intention of killing him.

After dealing with these chores, Chen Xiao finally began to ask about the real business.

"Brother Qi, how much do you know about this Underworld Palace?"

Qi Tianhu said, "Boss, as far as I know, the boss of the Underworld Palace is called Dragon King. This person is not only very strong, but also very skilled in dealing with people. He has also gathered a large number of good players around him, and even has several Huajing (Transformation Realm) grandmasters." (Huajing refers to a high realm of martial arts cultivation)

So that's how it was. A Huajing grandmaster was a big shot who could dominate one side.

And this Dragon King actually had several Huajing grandmasters under his command, so it was not surprising that he could sweep across the north.

Chen Xiao nodded. "Indeed very strong. No wonder he scared Han Jiuqian like this."

Qi Tianhu said again, "Boss, actually, the most powerful thing about the Underworld Palace is not the Dragon King."

When Chen Xiao heard this, his face was full of curiosity. "Oh? The boss of the Underworld Palace is not the most powerful?"

Qi Tianhu said with a profound look, "As far as I know, the real master behind the Underworld Palace is actually Dongxia (Eastern Hero) Yang Potian!"
