Tom Reggie was not a hothead. For him to be able to mix well in Saipan meant that he was definitely a shrewd and ruthless person. After his contact with Tan Xiu and the news he heard about Tan Xiu, he knew that Tan Xiu was a very powerful character, more powerful than many people he knew.
But …
How could this guy whom he regarded as a friend be together with his enemy? Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be very close!
"Mr. Tang!"
Tom Reggie suppressed the confusion and worry in his heart as he greeted Tan Xiu with open arms and gave him a big hug. Then, his eyes shifted to Song Guanghui.
"Tom Reggie, I don't need to introduce him to you, right?" Tan Xiu said with a faint smile. "You're all in Saipan, so I believe you're familiar with each other."
Tom Reggie's expression was a bit strange as he nodded and said, "General Sen Hui, the number two big shot in Saipan. I didn't expect that he would come to my resort, much less with you, Mr. Tang."
"He's not an outsider, Tom Reggie." Tan Xiu waved his hand and said, "We have a deep relationship. I can tell you that he's my elder, and he's one of us in the truest sense. I know the relationship between you two, so don't look at him with hostile eyes. Let's find a quiet place and have a good chat. "
"I have a lot to talk to you, Mr. Tang." Tom Reggie shook his head and said, "But there's nothing to talk about with him. I'm Mr. Dawes's man. It will have a bad influence on me if I get in touch with him late at night. I hope you can understand that. "
Upon seeing Tom Reggie's attitude, Song Guanghui secretly lowered his evaluation of Tan Xiu. He originally thought that Tang Xiu was a talented young man, just like his father who was once amazing. He didn't expect that Tang Xiu's thoughts were so simple that he even wanted to associate him with Tom Reggie.
However …
For the sake of his sworn brother, Tang Yunde, he barely held back his dissatisfaction and quietly waited for Tan Xiu's next move.
"Tom Reggie, I just told you that I understand the problem between you two," said Tan Xiu. The reason why I want to talk to you is because I have a purpose. Believe me, I won't harm you. "
Tom Reggie hesitated for a moment before he shook his head and said, "Mr. Tang, you're Awen's Boss, my partner and friend. I naturally trust you. But I don't trust him, so I can't agree. "
The black-capped Spectre suddenly took a step forward and sneered, "No one in this world can refuse my Boss's request, let alone a rookie like you. I'll give you two choices. First, prepare a place and have a good chat with my boss. Second, I'll kill you right now and replace you with your trusted subordinates. Little rookie, I hope you won't waste my energy. "
Tom Reggie couldn't clearly see Spectre's face, but he was filled with anger inside as he said in a deep voice, "I'm talking to your Boss. What qualifications do you have to interrupt?"
Spectre slowly raised the brim of his cap. When his whole face appeared in Tom Reggie's line of sight, he looked at his suddenly changed expression and sneered, "Little rookie, if it wasn't because your heart's position is different from an ordinary person's, I'm afraid you wouldn't have the qualifications to stand here and talk to my Boss, right?"
Tom Reggie was greatly shaken. He staggered back a few steps and pointed at Spectre with a fearful face, shouting, "You … how come it's you? Aren't you … "
"Hmph, I'll kill you if you dare to say another word," said Spectre coldly.
Tom Reggie was as though he was facing a formidable enemy. His eyes were flustered, his heart twitched, and his mood was extremely tense. Although he was once an executioner who had killed countless people, there were still some people in this world who could make him fearful. And the one in front of him was one of them. Subconsciously, he raised his hand and touched the position of his heart. There was a scar there, and the person who left this scar was none other than Spectre in front of him.
Tan Xiu squinted his eyes and asked in surprise, "Do you know each other?"
Spectre licked his lips and let out a hollow laugh, "He used to be a subordinate of one of my targets, Boss. He's also a capable general of that target. It's a pity that this little rookie is nothing but trash in my eyes. I didn't look for trouble with him after I learned that he was still alive because he wasn't my target at that time. "
"Didn't you say that only a few people in this world can recognize you?" Tan Xiu frowned. "How long have you been with me? How come so many people can recognize you?"
"I assure you, Boss," said Spectre hurriedly. "There's absolutely no third person."
Tan Xiu snorted coldly. He looked at Tom Reggie and said, "I don't want to repeat myself for the third time. He's my elder, and he's also one of us. No problem if you choose to refuse. But you must think clearly about the consequences, because the enemy you'll have to face may be me. "
Tom Reggie's throat turned dry. His eyes moved from Spectre's face to Tan Xiu with difficulty. He bitterly nodded and said, "I'll arrange it right away. But you … can you tell me how he's also your subordinate? I can't figure it out. "
"What can't you figure out?" asked Tan Xiu.
"I can't figure it out. How can we be willing to be your subordinates when facing such a terrifying character?" said Tom Reggie. "He's not the same as Awen, after all."
"Do you really know me?" Tan Xiu chuckled.
Tom Reggie stared blankly for a moment before he immediately understood Tan Xiu's meaning. At this moment, the terror he felt toward Tan Xiu was even more intense than before. After taking a deep breath, he glanced at Song Guanghui, slightly bowed and said, "Everyone, please!"
Song Guanghui's expression turned extremely strange at this moment. He didn't expect that the situation would be reversed like this. Just one of Tan Xiu's subordinates stood up and said a few words, yet it was enough to make Tom Reggie so terrified that even his attitude took a 180-degree turn.
"Who's Tan Xiu's subordinate?"
Song Guanghui was full of puzzlement as he followed Tan Xiu and the others to the villa that had been prepared for them.
In the living room on the second floor.
Tan Xiu gently patted Zhang Xinya's shoulder and said, "You go to the room and rest first. We need to talk about something. Rest well, we'll be going out to sea in a few hours. "
Zhang Xinya didn't know much about Tan Xiu, so she nodded and went straight to the third floor to rest in the bedroom.
On the sofa in the living room, Tan Xiu had just sat down when he looked at Tom Reggie and said, "Would you agree if I told you to join Uncle Song's camp?"
"Who's Uncle Song?" asked Tom Reggie, confused.
Tan Xiu pointed to Song Guanghui and said, "His real name is Song Guanghui. He's my father's sworn brother. That's why I told you that we're on the same side in the truest sense. "
Tom Reggie looked at Song Guanghui with disbelief. Never once did he expect that Sen Hui had another name and even seemed to have another identity.
"What Tan Xiu said is correct. His real name is Song Guanghui, and he used to be an elite soldier of the Chinese special forces," said Song Guanghui in a deep voice. "Later, due to some unforeseen events, he separated from the Chinese military and came to Saipan, concealing his identity and walking step by step to his current position."
Tom Reggie was suddenly enlightened. He finally realized that Tan Xiu and Sen Hui had a deep relationship. It turned out that both of them were Chinese, and Sen Hui and Tan Xiu's father were sworn brothers.
"Tom Reggie, there's something I don't need to say, but you should understand it," said Tan Xiu. "The power I have is very powerful. Even if you know something about me, it's just the tip of the iceberg. Now, I'll give you a chance to become my subordinate. "
Tom Reggie's expression changed. He glanced at Spectre standing beside Tan Xiu and asked bitterly, "Do I have the right to refuse?"
"No." Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "My relationship with Uncle Song needs to be kept a secret for the time being. Similarly, Spectre is my subordinate, so it needs to be kept a secret. There's a saying that the more you know, the more dangerous it is. You already know something about me, so you only have two choices to avoid trouble.
Two choices?
Tom Reggie was well aware of the two choices. First, submit to Tan Xiu and become his subordinate, which would allow him to live. Second, refuse Tan Xiu's proposal and he would most likely be killed now.
He didn't believe that he would be able to escape after refusing. Not to mention that Tan Xiu was very powerful, just Spectre alone was not something he could match.
What should I do?
Do I really have to choose to submit to Tan Xiu?
Looking at Tom Reggie's fluctuating expression, Tan Xiu said indifferently, "Don't worry. Even if you choose to submit to me, your wealth is still yours. I won't give you too many orders. The more you work for me in the future, the more rewards you'll get. Do you still remember that I once told you that you might become a powerhouse like Awen one day? "
Tom Reggie's expression shifted and he hurriedly asked, "Are you willing to teach me Chinese Kung Fu?"
"What's so great about Chinese Kung Fu?" Tan Xiu shook his head. "The ability I can teach you is something you can never imagine even in your dreams. Of course, once you become very strong, you may become more dangerous in the future. It's even possible that your enemies will no longer be ordinary humans. "
"If they're not humans, then what are they?" Tom Reggie was confused. "The fierce beasts in the sea?"
Tan Xiu sneered, "The fierce beasts in the sea are indeed very strong, but the enemies you'll have to face in the future may be even stronger. Let me give you an example. Vampires, Beastmen, Feather Clan, Wizards, and so on in the Western World. You should know about these existences, right? "
"You mean, I have hope to be as powerful as those terrifying monsters in the future?" Tom Reggie was horrified. "And I still want to be their enemy?"
"What about those vampires, Beastmen, Feather Clan, and wizards?" Tan Xiu said disdainfully. If you're loyal to me, you'll definitely be able to kill them in seconds in the future. The enemies I'm talking about are existences more powerful than them. "
Tom Reggie was dumbfounded. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that Tan Xiu could say such words. It was as though Tan Xiu had placed a window in front of him, and he only needed to reach out and push it open to see a more magical world.
