Chapter 1310: Chapter 1310: The Three’s Mysterious Identities
The name Xingyu Bar was randomly thought up by Xiang Yu, without any particular meaning. However, Tie Zhuzi misunderstood it as ‘**** Bar’.
At noon, when Tie Zhuzi and a few others were busy with the renovations, three people walked in.
These three weren’t very tall and were a bit on the chubby side, looking like local tycoons at first glance.
“Get your boss out here,” demanded a slightly taller fat man arrogantly.
Xiang Yu promptly came out, and upon seeing the ridiculous appearance of the three men, he burst into laughter and then asked, “What do the three clowns want?”
Seeing that Xiang Yu was an Oriental and wasn’t speaking the local language, the other party became even more arrogant and said in poorly spoken Mandarin, “What makes you think you can open a bar here?”
Tie Zhuzi couldn’t help but laugh at the way they spoke. It was painfully awful, and it was clear they had no idea what ‘clown’ meant.
“What’s so funny? I’m talking to you,” said the fat man.
Xiang Yu humbly replied, “Are the three of you clowns here to cause trouble?”
The fat man paused, then acted tough, “You can’t open a bar here.”
“Why not?” Xiang Yu asked.
“Because I already opened one in front,” the fat man replied, as if that made perfect sense.
Only then did Xiang Yu and his group understand that this was business competition. The three of them couldn’t help but laugh.
They usually avoided bothering others, yet someone came seeking trouble, leaving them speechless.
Xiang Yu said nothing and turned to walk away, gesturing to Tie Zhuzi to handle the situation.
Tie Zhuzi rubbed his hands together excitedly.
“Hey, where are you going? We’re not finished here. You better stop, or I’ll smash your bar,” the fat man arrogantly threatened.
“How do you plan to smash our bar?” Tie Zhuzi asked mockingly.
The fat man, seeing Tie Zhuzi’s smiling face, thought he was easy to bully, and raised his fist in front of Tie Zhuzi’s face, “I’ll start by beating your face out of shape.”
As soon as the fat man finished speaking, Tie Zhuzi moved. Dealing with the three was a breeze for him.
In just a few minutes, the three were already lying on the ground.
At the same time, Su Yongzhen was pacing anxiously in his room when suddenly the phone rang.
“What’s going on, who are those three?” Su Yongzhen asked anxiously.
From the other end came a burst of laughter before someone said, “Boss, Tie Zhuzi beat up those three. Turns out they were owners of a small bar. After getting beaten, they came to us for help, hoping we could assist them.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yongzhen breathed a sigh of relief. He had been on edge these past few days, fearing Wang Xiao might come looking for trouble.
“Got it,” Su Yongzhen had no more interest in listening. Knowing it wasn’t Wang Xiao, he felt at ease.
Ever since Tie Zhuzi beat up the three, everyone on the street knew Xingyu Bar had a big guy who was good at fighting, so they’d better not mess with him.
In a relatively luxurious villa to the south, Wang Xiao sat with a sullen face, opposite two people.
“Leader, we’ve investigated those three. Since arriving here, they’ve only met with Su Yongzhen, and have no other background,” said one, Wang Xiao’s deputy, named Abbas. This text is hosted at novel·fiɾe·net
Wang Xiao nodded cautiously, “Are you sure?”
Abbas quickly nodded, “Absolutely sure,” he added, “Leader, I don’t get it. Are three Orientals worth all this precaution? We could easily send ten brothers over to handle them.”
Wang Xiao replied earnestly, “These three aren’t simple; Tank fell into their hands.”
Abbas, not believing it, sneered, “Impossible. I specifically investigated Tank’s case. Word is there was a traitor within, causing Tank’s group to dissolve, and Kelun Gang’s assets were seized.”
“It’s best to be careful. I have a feeling these three have a significant background, possibly recruited by a mercenary organization,” Wang Xiao said.
Abbas waved his hand, “Leader, if you’re uneasy, I’ll take some people to test them first. If they’re tough, we’ll regroup and discuss. If they’re just ordinary thugs, I’ll handle them on the spot.”
Wang Xiao pondered briefly and nodded, “Alright, go test them. If anything’s off, come back quickly.”
Abbas nodded then left. After days of investigating Xiang Yu’s group, he had fully grasped their backgrounds.
Their biggest backing was Su Yongzhen, who Abbas considered a petty gangster.
Abbas didn’t understand why Wang Xiao was being so cautious. As he left the villa, he shook his head in resignation, feeling like their Orchid Group leader had become timid without recent combat experience.
Wang Xiao sat reflecting on the situation. He felt strongly that Xiang Yu’s group had powerful backing.
Normally, people tremble at the mention of Orchid Group, let alone facing its leader.
But Xiang Yu and his group seemed indifferent, which could only mean their organization was more formidable than Orchid Group.
Thinking this made Wang Xiao more certain of his analysis. However, sending Abbas to probe was wise to ascertain Xiang Yu’s backing.
In B City, many mercenary organizations secretly operate in various places with city-based contacts. Wang Xiao worried Xiang Yu’s group were such contacts.
After returning, Abbas gathered ten skilled fighters from his group.
As a deputy, Abbas had the authority to mobilize them.
They hadn’t had a mission in a while, so when summoned, they were all eager.
“Let me brief you on the task,” Abbas said seriously, “Three people have offended our leader, and tonight we’ll discreetly eliminate them.”
Having done this many times, they knew the drill and nodded eagerly.
Abbas checked his watch, “We’ll act at ten tonight. Remember, no traces, quick and decisive.”
“Understood, leave it to us,” one said confidently.
Others laughed heartily. They felt dealing with just three people was overkill for their group of ten, something they could handle in no time…
