Li Cheng looked at the row of houses outside Eight Fantasy City and couldn't help but take a deep breath. Then he pushed the door and went inside. He went to the same room as before. He was familiar with the Cultivators inside. Moreover, because of the discounted jade tokens as well as the benefits he received, his relationship with these people was very good.
When Li Cheng entered the room, the people inside immediately saw him. One of them couldn't help but laugh and said, "Boss Li, what brings you here? Do you have something to discuss with us brothers?"
Li Cheng laughed and said, "It's good that you're all here. I want to invite you to my shop for a drink tonight. Do you have time?"
A Cultivator in the room smiled and said, "Boss Li, you don't need to be polite. If you just wanted to invite us to drink, then you wouldn't have come here. Since you're here, then you must have something to discuss. What is our relationship? If you have something to say, then just say it."
When Li Cheng heard this, he laughed and said, "Since you think so highly of me, then I won't be polite. To tell you the truth, something happened in our shop today. A female cultivator was kidnapped. We spent a lot of effort to rescue her. Today, I just want to ask if this matter was related to the Eight Phantasms Law Enforcement Officers."
When the Cultivators in the room heard Li Cheng, they couldn't help but stare. One of the Cultivators frowned and said, "Tell me, what happened?"
Li Cheng nodded, then he sighed and said, "I won't hide it from Brother Zhang. Our buffet restaurant's business has been very good recently, so we were targeted. A female cultivator in our restaurant was kidnapped after she returned home. We only found out that she was kidnapped after she didn't go to work. We found a piece of paper in her room asking for 10,000 Jade Essences to ransom her. We prepared the Jade Essences and asked a friend of mine to help us rescue her. Afterwards, we investigated and found out that it was the Blacksnake Gang who did this."
When the people in the room heard Li Cheng, they couldn't help but stare. Then they looked at each other and didn't speak for a while. Seeing this, Li Cheng understood that the other party had roots. Otherwise, they wouldn't have reacted like this.
Li Cheng immediately lowered his voice and said, "Everyone, if this matter makes things difficult for you, then you don't have to intervene. We'll deal with it ourselves."
Brother Zhang, who spoke to Li Cheng before, looked at Li Cheng. After a while, he sighed and said, "Boss Li, it's not that we don't want to help you. It's just that the Black Snake Gang has a bit of a background. The gang leader of the Black Snake Gang has a good relationship with an inner disciple of our Eight Fantasy City. As for us, we are only outer disciples. It's not convenient for us to deal with the Black Snake Gang.
When he heard this, Li Cheng couldn't help but stare. Then he immediately nodded and said, "Then I won't make things difficult for you. But you must come and drink with me tonight. I have a friend that I want to introduce to you. This friend of mine is extraordinary. Not only is he strong, but his identity isn't ordinary. As the saying goes, more friends means more paths. So I want you to get to know him. What do you think?"
When the people in the room heard Li Cheng, they couldn't help but stare. Brother Zhang looked at Li Cheng and said, "Oh, there aren't many people who can get Boss Li's praise. Boss Li's friend's identity isn't ordinary, right? Is he from there? "
Li Cheng smiled faintly and said, "He isn't from the Moongazing Planet. He was just passing by and heard about this matter. Therefore, he decided to help. Are you willing to do him the honor?"
The people in the room hesitated for a moment, then they exchanged glances. Finally, Brother Zhang opened his mouth and said, "Alright, then we'll be bothering you tonight."
Li Cheng smiled and said, "How could it be bothering you? Normally, I wouldn't be able to invite you. Everyone, I'll take my leave first. I need to go back and prepare. Let's have a good drink tonight."
Everyone laughed heartily. Li Cheng cupped his fists at them and left. For Brother Zhang to give him face, Li Cheng was very happy. He had a certain understanding of Brother Zhang. Although Brother Zhang was an outer disciple, his status in Ba Huan City wasn't low. This was because he was a member of the Zhang Clan of Ba Huan City. The Zhang Clan's status in Ba Huan City wasn't low. In Ba Huan City, there were three elders, one core disciple, and several inner disciples. Brother Zhang's surname was Zhang Shun. Because his cultivation talent wasn't good, he came here to be an outer disciple. However, this was just a springboard. It wouldn't take long for him to become an outer disciple.
As for Brother Zhang, he didn't spend much effort on cultivation since he was a child because he didn't have much talent in cultivation. Instead, he focused on other things. In the Zhang family, he was the best at dealing with people. Even when facing ordinary Individual Cultivators, he would make them feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze.
Because of this, although Zhang Shun couldn't cultivate, he was still very popular in the Zhang Family. This was because the Zhang Family knew that if a Great Clan wanted to succeed, it wasn't enough to rely on strength. The Zhang Family was a Great Clan in Eight Fantasy City, but outside of Eight Fantasy City, no one would pay attention to them. Eight Fantasy City was just a force in Full Moon City. If the Zhang Family was placed in Full Moon City, then they wouldn't count for anything. Therefore, a Great Clan like the Zhang Family needed someone like Zhang Shun who knew how to manage things.
In order to cultivate Zhang Shun, the Zhang Family sent him to the Foreign Affairs Hall to train. As long as he trained well, he would become an Elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall in Eight Fantasy City.
It was also because of Zhang Shun's personality that he was able to get along well with Li Cheng. After Li Cheng met so many disciples of Eight Fantasy City, he also learned about Zhang Shun's identity. It was also because of Zhang Shun's identity that Li Cheng deliberately befriended him.
Today, he invited Zhang Shun and the others to drink. This was Zhao Hai's idea. Zhao Hai was very clear that if Li Cheng and the others wanted to develop safely in Full Moon City, then they wouldn't be able to do so without a backer. And Eight Fantasy City was a good backer. The Zhang Family's status in Eight Fantasy City wasn't low. Being on good terms with the Zhang Family was tantamount to finding a backer for Li Cheng and the others. Because of this, Zhao Hai wanted to personally meet Zhang Shun.
As the sky slowly darkened, the people in Eight Fantasy City's Foreign Affairs Hall went back to rest. Zhang Shun led his roommates to the buffet restaurant.
There were still a lot of people eating in the buffet restaurant. As soon as Zhang Shun and the others entered the restaurant, Li Cheng greeted them. He cupped his fist and said, "Brother Zhang, you're finally here. Come, please come with me."
Zhang Shun laughed and said, "Boss Li, our Liquor Worm is making a fuss. Is your wine ready?"
Li Cheng laughed and said, "I've already prepared it. Please come with me." Then he led the group to the back. Although the group didn't understand what Li Cheng meant, they still followed him through the buffet restaurant and arrived at the back courtyard.
While walking to the back room, Li Cheng said to Zhang Shun, "Today, I won't be inviting you to eat upstairs. We've prepared a small banquet in the back. Please come with me." Then he led the group to a room.
As soon as the group entered the room, they saw several people sitting and chatting. Among them, Zhang Shun knew Wu Yun and the others. The only one he didn't know was Zhao Hai.
When Zhao Hai saw them, he immediately stood up. At this time, Li Cheng also hurriedly said to Zhao Hai, "Brother Zhang, this is the friend I told you about, Zhao Hai. Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, this is Zhang Shun, Brother Zhang …" Then he introduced the others to Zhao Hai. Then the two sides greeted each other.
During the greeting process, Zhang Shun kept looking at Zhao Hai. Although it was only a short greeting process, Zhang Shun felt that Zhao Hai was extraordinary.
When Zhao Hai and Zhang Shun greeted each other, it was very natural and very pleasant. However, you couldn't feel that his arrogance was neglecting you. On the contrary, you could feel a sense of intimacy from him. It made you feel that he was a friend that you've known for a long time. You didn't need to be polite with him.
Zhang Shun thought that he was very clever in dealing with people. However, compared to Zhao Hai, he felt that he was still lacking a lot.
After everyone gave their greetings, Li Cheng led everyone to a room in the back. There was a large table in this room that could seat more than 20 people. The table had two layers, the upper layer could be rotated, and there were a lot of dishes on the rotating layer. Li Cheng invited everyone to sit down.
After everyone sat down, Li Cheng raised his glass and said, "I'm very happy to be able to meet you all here today. Come, let's toast to today's gathering."
Then Li Cheng turned his head to Zhang Shun and said, "Brother Zhang, I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you. I'm not good with words, so I'll leave this matter to Brother Zhao. Let Brother Zhao talk to them." Zhang Shun nodded and said, "Brother Zhang, I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you.
When Zhang Shun heard Li Cheng, he couldn't help but stare. Then Zhang Shun looked at Zhao Hai in surprise. Then he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll have to ask Mister Zhao Hai to speak."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly at Zhang Shun and said, "Actually, this matter is related to the kidnapping. I think Li Cheng already told you about it, so I won't say more. What I want to say is that Li Cheng isn't going to let the Black Snake Gang off." After saying this, Zhao Hai paused. He looked at Zhang Shun and the others' reactions.
When Zhang Shun heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then his brows couldn't help but knit as he said, "I wonder if Boss Li told Mister Zhao about the Black Snake Gang's background?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I've already said it. I also know that behind the Black Snake Gang is an Inner Court Disciple of Eight Fantasy City. Therefore, after discussing with Li Cheng, we came up with a plan. Actually, this matter starts from why the Black Snake Gang wanted to deal with Li Cheng and the others. The Black Snake Gang saw that Li Cheng and the others were making money, so they wanted to open a buffet restaurant. However, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to compete with Li Cheng and the others in terms of business. Therefore, they came up with this plan in order to compete with Li Cheng and the others. Our idea is that we would deal with the Black Snake Gang, and after we take over the restaurant, Li Cheng would manage it.
