271: Chapter 260: He Can’t Last 10 Moves 271: Chapter 260: He Can’t Last 10 Moves Gulang’s words sounded very natural and contained no mocking or ironic tone, just a simple desire to bond with his colleague.
If outsiders didn’t know about the storm brewing between them, they might think the two were just having a casual conversation, just having tea, just joking around with each other.
“Of course, though you no longer serve that organization, do you?” Song Yun poured a cup of tea for the other party and said, “Since that’s the case, how can we consider ourselves colleagues?
I can’t bear this title, kid.”
“Heh, I originally wanted to establish a connection with you, but it seems you’re not willing,” Gulang chuckled and said, “Well then, let’s just have a chat.”
“May I ask what would you like to talk about?”
“Let’s talk about what you discussed with Lei Long that day.
Don’t tell me you and Lei Long were just talking about trivial matters, no one would believe that,” Gulang said with a smile, his thumb gently rubbing against the teacup as if it were porcelain.
“I and Brother Lei just revealed some information to each other.
He just wanted to know what my current economic strength was, to see if it threatened his position,” Song Yun said indifferently after finishing his tea.
“Having been targeted by the formidable Lei Long, I dared not speak carelessly and simply told him about my current economic abilities.
After hearing this, Brother Lei let me go.”
Song Yun hadn’t expected that his meeting with Lei Long would go unnoticed, especially since it took place on Gulang’s territory after the conference of heroes had just ended.
Many leaders of organizations were still around and naturally would have heard about it.
“Lei Long being so kind?
Heh, you’re being too cautious about Lei Long.
Do you know what my first task was when I came to Sunan City?” Gulang raised an eyebrow and said, “My first task was to overturn Lei Long’s influence here.
Back then, I really came to Sunan City empty-handed, without a single acquaintance.
For that mission, I eventually established a martial arts sect to contend against him.”
“Hmm, I’ve heard about this a long time ago,” Song Yun sighed.
“And then?
You didn’t come here just to reminisce about your glorious past, did you?”
“That’s not it.
There’s an old saying, ‘privileges should not benefit outsiders.’ I can responsibly tell you, if you and I join forces, we can devour the current economic shares and market of Sunan,” Gulang leaned forward slightly and said.
“You must know how lucrative this place is, right?
As long as you and I become strategic allies, I believe money will flow into your bank account even when you’re asleep at home.”
“You’re thinking of dominating?
Who controls the society now, you don’t know or I don’t?” Song Yun shook his head.
“These things can only be thought about in the mind.
If some organizational machinery targets us, even fleeing abroad might not end well.”
“Heh, I believe they have schooled you on this, but some things are only worth listening to, not taking too seriously, it’s no fun otherwise.”
“Heh,” Song Yun laughed without speaking, his thoughts unreadable.
“I heard your entertainment venues are completely clean of illicit stuff?” Gulang asked.
“Yes, I am quite law-abiding.
I dare not touch anything that’s off limits.”
“Ah, you’re good in every aspect, just too timid.
You should know how profitable certain areas can be—usually, it’s only the scapegoats who get caught.
As long as we don’t die, no one dares chase it up to us, and so much money would just flow out of your hands,” Gulang, lacking any hint of a hero, seemed more like a neighborly uncle constantly tempting Song Yun.
“The money can be earned less, life cannot be without,” Song Yun licked his somewhat dry lips and said.
“Being able to earn money in such a treacherous place as Sunan, I’m already very satisfied.
As for sharing the wealth, do you think I would listen?”
“Ha, you’re sharp.
Tell me, justify yourself, I don’t expect you to help when I swallow those two organizations’ market shares, just don’t interfere.
Others may not know your strength, but I’m very aware of it.
Your non-intervention is the best help for me,” Gulang said heartily.
“And then watch you grow big and swallow me too?”
“Don’t worry, I can assure you here, I will never touch your company and entertainment venues,” Gulang said seriously.
“You can go ask around, my promises have a good reputation anywhere.”
“Phew,” Song Yun exhaled a turbid breath, “I need the market.”
“How about I give you one-fifth of my interest area?” Gulang said.
“Just agree, and tonight my forces can pull out from there, and as for the future, whatever you want to do there, I won’t interfere.
If you still don’t trust me, how about we sign a contract in black and white?
That should put you at ease.”
“One-fifth,” Song Yun considered, that was extraordinarily generous to him, even one-tenth of the market share would have been enough to make him secretly rejoice, let alone the current one-fifth.
“Deal, I will absolutely not interfere when your big battle happens,” Song Yun said earnestly.
“I hope your words hold true.”
“Of course, it’s getting late, I won’t disturb you and your sister-in-law’s rest anymore.
If there’s ever anything or nothing, keep in touch more, don’t let our relationship grow distant,” Gulang said as he stood up and patted Song Yun’s shoulder.
“Good, then I’ll have to learn more from Brother Gu in the future.”
Hearing the three words ‘Brother Gu,’ Gulang momentarily froze, then burst into a broad smile and said, “Good, let’s support each other as we climb upwards.”
As Gulang left the courtyard, the women came out from the rooms, and Song Yun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, “Dealing with such a person really takes effort.”
“That person is not simple,” Qingluan said seriously.
“His martial arts are stronger than yours.”
“I know, to thrive in Sunan City under constant suppression, his martial arts can’t be weak,” Song Yun sighed.
“Just don’t know what to do in the future.”
“It doesn’t matter, if I face him, he won’t last ten moves,” Qingluan said proudly.
