Chapter 1515: Coping Strategy
Wang Songshan’s heart tightened as he guessed something from listening to Thomas. This old fox has ulterior motives. If the quota was really reduced, then he would not be able to say these words. Obviously, there is still room for negotiation.
“Family relations?” Wang Songshan snorted. He already knew Thomas’s plan. It seems that Goode must have gone to Thomas and said something. That’s why Thomas would take such actions.
“Goode’s matters are not a big deal. Since he was a child, he has had feelings towards your Little Butterfly. If Little Butterfly marries Goode in the future, then Wang Ruoshui will be his aunt. There’s nothing wrong when the aunt teaches her niece’s husband a lesson, right?” Thomas laughed and said, “Also, Goode is my grandson. Supporting the Butterfly Family would be equivalent to supporting him. In this way, no one can find faults.”
“Master Thomas, I can’t agree to your proposal… My daughter already has a marriage contract.” Wang Songshan took a deep breath, knowing that his actions might completely offend the Lancer family, but he had no other way. It would be possible to agree if it was back when Wang Xiaoyan had no connection with Yang Ming. But now, Wang Songshan could never agree to Thomas’s proposal.
“Really?” Thomas didn’t expect Wang Songshan to be so stubborn. He sneered and said, “So, I can only follow the rules.”
“This-” Wang Songshan’s heart tightened, “Mr. Thomas, is there any other way?”
“No. Why don’t you give me a call after you think about it… En, within five days. If you haven’t decided within five days, then I’m sorry, I can only give the quota for the firearms to someone else.” Thomas said firmly in a low voice, “Okay, I’ll hang up, I’m going to rest.”
Thomas finished speaking and directly hung up the phone without waiting for Wang Songshan’s response.
“Five days…” Wang Songshan sighed. He suddenly thought of Goode’s words from before, Five days, within five days… Sure enough, the powerful and resonating words he spoke back then has been realized!
Indeed, the Butterfly Family had only five days to go. This was Thomas’s deadline. After five days, the Butterfly Family must accept the revenge brought by the Lancer family and stop all business cooperation!
“What did Thomas say?” Wang Ruoshui knew that this negotiation was unsuccessful from the look on Wang Songshan’s face. The other party must have put forward some harsh conditions that made it difficult for Wang Songshan to agree.
“Thomas said to let your precious niece marry Goode. In this way, both families will become relatives. He can supply to us and you would become Goode’s aunt, so Goode will not pursue the matter of you hitting him.” Wang Songshan smiled bitterly and said.
“He wishes!” Wang Ruoshui gritted her teeth and said, “Isn’t this forcing us to submit? It’s simply bullying!”
“So what if they’re bullying us? They have the qualifications to do so!” Wang Songshan said. “Like what Goode said, Thomas gave us a deadline of five days, only five days.”
“Goode really kept his promise!” Fang Tian listened to Wang Songshan’s words and his face became gloomy.
“We can not agree to Thomas’s request. It seems that this matter has been set in stone; we should take measures as soon as possible.” Wang Songshan nodded and said, “Old Man Fang, I will have to trouble you for your connections. Although it may be limited, relief is still possible.”
“Don’t worry! This matter is not only related to Ruoshui but also my apprentice. I can’t cower!” Fang Tian nodded solemnly, “I will contact my old friends early tomorrow morning and try to buy more firearms.”
“As long as it is available, there is no problem with the price.” Wang Songshan instructed, “The Butterfly Family does not lack money.”
“I understand, I will try my best to get firearms for you.” Fang Tian nodded and said.
Some people were destined to be happy; others were doomed to be sad tonight. Goode and Thomas belonged to the type that slept very soundly and sweetly; while Wang Songshan, Wang Ruoshui, and Fang Tian, ​​almost could not sleep. They sat on the sofa in the study, each thinking of ways to save the family.
Taking into account the relationship between Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan, if Fang Tian and Wang Ruoshui really became a couple, then it could be said that Fang Tian had become a member of the Butterfly Family. So the fate of the Butterfly Family was closely related to Fang Tian. He could not stand by idly when someone was trying to conspire against the Butterfly Family.
However, Yang Ming didn’t think about these matters at all and slept soundly. In his eyes, Goode was a clown, a flea-like figure, and couldn’t cause any trouble.
Yang Ming did not put this kind of character, or the Lancer Family behind him, in his eyes. The biggest difference between Yang Ming and Fang Tian was that Yang Ming had special abilities. Since he had these special abilities, Yang Ming was scared of almost no one, including the Behind-The-Scenes Boss and Elder You who possessed voodoo. Yang Ming had never been afraid of them, let alone the Lancer Family.
Perhaps, Fang Tian’s ability would not be enough to assassinate Thomas. After all, it was very difficult to sneak into the heavily guarded Lancer Family, let alone murdering someone under those heavy defenses.
But it was not difficult for Yang Ming! With the experience of successfully avoiding the surveillance of the Sui Group’s Immortal Building, Yang Ming believed that as long as he used his special abilities, it was not impossible to sneak into the Lancer Family.
Thus, if Yang Ming was willing, then Thomas might die at any time. This was Yang Ming’s hidden trump card, a life-saving offensive hidden trump card that was an absolute advantage over anyone.
What made Yang Ming’s head ache was the duel that Wang Ruoshui mentioned. He could not win or lose; only with a tie could he safely leave the Butterfly Family. It really troubled Yang Ming.
Although Yang Ming boasted confidence when he was eating, in fact, he was not confident at all in his heart. It was easy to win or lose, but to tie… As long as Wang Ruoshui played a little trick and took the initiative to show weakness, a tie could also become a victory for him. This matter was really a little difficult to handle!
Who knows, I can only do some tricks first. I’ll do a ruthless trick. During the duel with Wang Ruoshui, when she retreats, I will also take the initiative to retreat. In this way, the illusion of a tie will be created.
However, doing so required opportunities. It was not possible to perform this trick under any circumstances. All the people present were masters. They must behave properly. Otherwise, if Wang Ruoshui refuted, it would be hard for Yang Ming to explain. Yang Ming could only make everyone believe that it was a tie, only then could he insist that it was a tie and force Wang Ruoshui to suffer in silence. If no one could see any flaws, no one would help Wang Ruoshui to speak up. Even if Wang Ruoshui would not let the matter go, he wouldn’t be afraid anymore.
It was already past eight in the morning when he woke up. All the fatigue brought by the plane ride was relieved. He stretched and got out of bed, but when his eyes fell on the wall clock, he felt slightly strange. When I reached here yesterday, the disciple at the reception told me that someone will call every morning at eight o’clock to inform me to have breakfast. It is already half-past eight, so why isn’t there a call?
Is it because I slept too deep and didn’t hear it? Impossible. Yang Ming had been sleeping well after his assassin training, but he was extremely sensitive to external sounds and could easily hear subtle movements.
It was impossible for him not to hear such a loud ringtone; there was only one possibility, no one called him.
Since no one called, Yang Ming didn’t think much about it. Who knows, the person who was meant to notify him might have forgotten. He got dressed and washed up, then pushed the door open and went downstairs.
The disciples on duty of the Butterfly Family all knew Yang Ming, so they all greeted him when they saw him come out of the room. Yang Ming walked to the restaurant where he ate yesterday, but he had an accidental discovery. There was no one in the restaurant!
Of course, Yang Ming excluded the disciples of the Butterfly Family and only referred to Wang Songshan, Wang Ruoshui, and Fang Tian.
Chapter 1516: Biggest Family
“Mr. Yang, you are here!” The disciples on duty at the restaurant saw Yang Ming walking in and hurriedly greeted.
“Oh… that… has everyone finished eating?” Yang Ming asked as he looked at the empty restaurant, puzzled.
“No one has come yet…” The disciple on duty looked at Yang Ming with a bitter smile, “Usually, Master would have long been here by this time…”
“Oh? No one came?” Yang Ming frowned. “So, you all didn’t call to notify me either?”
“Yes, Master has not informed us, so we did not dare to make the decision.” ​​said the disciple on duty.
Yang Ming was surprised, No wonder I didn’t receive the call. It turns out that Wang Songshan hasn’t come to the restaurant yet. However, even if Wang Songshan didn’t come, why didn’t Wang Ruoshui and Fang Tian come? Could the three people be discussing some matters? Is it possible that Wang Ruoshui is discussing our duel? Thinking of this, Yang Ming increasingly felt that there was such a possibility.
However, different situations call for different actions. Yang Ming had already thought about the countermeasures for today’s duel last night, so he was not afraid to duel with Wang Ruoshui. When the time comes, he would just play it by ear. Yang Ming wasn’t a fledgling kid like he was previously. He couldn’t be said to be a seasoned veteran, but he had an ample amount of experience, so he wouldn’t be strung along by Wang Ruoshui.
Yang Ming sat down casually in the restaurant. Since the elders hadn’t come, Yang Ming felt that it was inappropriate to ask the disciples on duty to serve some food first. It was better to wait until everyone else had arrived.
Yang Ming sat in the restaurant for a while. About twenty minutes later, he heard footsteps approaching. Looking up, he saw Wang Songshan, Wang Ruoshui, and Fang Tian all walking towards the restaurant.
Yang Ming stood up quickly. After all, he was still a junior here, so he needed to pay the necessary respect.
” Oh? Yang Ming? You reached here first?” Fang Tian saw that Yang Ming was actually in the restaurant and was slightly stunned. However, he immediately looked at the restaurant’s clock, and then smiled bitterly, “I didn’t expect it to be already nine o’clock. The few calls I made took so long!”
Fang Tian had started helping Wang Songshan to get in touch with firearm suppliers early in the morning, so he had called some old friends. Although the individual business scales of these friends were not as large as the Lancer Family, many little drops make an ocean. Their combined strength was barely able to respond to the emergency. However, it was not a long-term solution because these people could only help Fang Tian once or twice, and could not help to the best of their ability. After all, they also have fixed customers; they couldn’t offend their other friends because of Fang Tian.
Therefore, these connections that Fang Tian had could only be used to temporarily respond to the emergency. The key was still to rely on Wang Songshan to find new partners. Otherwise, the Butterfly Family would survive for a while, but they would not be able to survive forever. In the end, the family would inevitably decline.
” En, didn’t you say that breakfast is at eight o’clock? I noticed that no one called to remind me so I went down first.” Yang Ming nodded and said.
” Oh? I’m really sorry… we forgot about the time.” Wang Songshan was immediately embarrassed when he saw that Yang Ming had waited in the restaurant for a long time, “Hurry up and serve the food. I was discussing with your master about some matters this morning, so we got delayed.”
After the disciple on duty heard Wang Songshan’s words, he quickly walked to the kitchen to inform them to serve the food. The meals in the kitchen were already prepared, but Wang Songshan hadn’t come, so the kitchen staff hadn’t dared to make the final preparations. Once Wang Songshan appeared, the meals could be served as long as the prepared ingredients were cooked.
So it didn’t take long for the full breakfast to be served on the table. Yang Ming sat at the table following Wang Songshan and the others. Wang Songshan greeted Yang Ming and said, “Yang Ming, please eat more. You must be hungry!”
“It’s okay.” Yang Ming smiled, but he was really hungry. Since Wang Songshan had said so, he wouldn’t be polite; he gobbled up his breakfast.
But after taking a few bites, he stopped and looked up. He looked at the others on the table in a stunned manner! Because no one except him had begun eating; they sat there, thinking about who knows what.
It could be seen that the expressions on all their faces were not very good. They were all filled with an indescribable haze, which made Yang Ming wonder, “Uncle Wang… what’s wrong with you? Why don’t you eat?”
“You can eat. We are not too hungry, so we don’t want to eat.” Wang Songshan smiled and waved his hand. Although he was upset, he didn’t show much outwardly. Now Yang Ming and Fang Tian have become the only hope for the Butterfly Family’s future. If Wang Songshan’s daughter could successfully be engaged with Yang Ming this time, the Butterfly Family’s reputation should be able to improve under the prestige of the King of Assassins and they might be able to find some new way out.
Yang Ming noticed that Wang Songshan hadn’t told the truth, but he didn’t ask any further. Since Wang Songshan didn’t want to talk about it, he wouldn’t ask. When it was time to let him know, Fang Tian would tell him.
“Senior Wang Ruoshui, we will have our agreed duel after breakfast, okay?” asked Yang Ming.
“Ah?” Wang Ruoshui froze. She never thought that Yang Ming would mention the duel at this time. She had left this matter behind a long time ago, “Let’s put it aside first, I don’t have time to take care of it now…”
“No time?” Yang Ming was even more puzzled. What happened to these three people? How could one be more lost than the next one?
“Don’t think that no one wants my niece, that Goode was very willing yesterday!” Wang Ruoshui couldn’t help but be angry when she saw that Yang Ming was like this, “If it hadn’t been for the marriage contract, do you think you would get this advantage?”
Wang Ruoshui’s words made Yang Ming dumbfounded a bit. Why is this an advantage? I can’t wait to break the engagement. If Goode is willing to marry her, then he can marry her, but only after Wang Songshan acquiesces.
“Are you guys troubled about Goode’s matter?” Yang Ming heard the slight anger present inWang Ruoshui’s words. Of course, this anger was not directed at him, but at Goode, because the syllable was accentuated when she said “Goode”.
“These things can’t be hidden from you.” Wang Songshan looked up at Yang Ming, and smiled bitterly, “Since you asked, I might as well tell you about it. Last night, I received a call from the Lancer Family. They want to completely stop the firearms business with our Butterfly Family…”
“Stop the firearms business… It turns out to be this,” Yang Ming nodded. “It seems that my guess was correct yesterday. Sure enough, they took action, but I didn’t expect it to be so fast! The news already arrived last night!”
Yang Ming saw that Wang Songshan and the others looked miserable, but he didn’t think about it. In his opinion, even if Goode went to the Lancer Family to impose sanctions on the Butterfly Family, it would need a certain buffer time and could not be immediately achieved. This buffer period might be one day or two days, but it would definitely not exceed the five days specified by Goode!
But Yang Ming didn’t expect that the response of Goode and the Lancer Family would so fast. However, this Wang Songshan is too unbearable, right? Just a Lancer Family could make him worry like this?
“Yes,” Wang Songshan nodded. “It seems that Yang Ming is astute. He could guess Goode’s intention from his behavior last night.”
“Uncle Wang, don’t speak highly of me. I have encountered a lot of things like this before…” Yang Ming waved his hand and said, “However, a Lancer Family can make you worry so much?”
After listening to Yang Ming’s words, Wang Ruoshui was a little bit upset. Yang Ming couldn’t help but he still ridiculed them. Wang Ruoshui snorted immediately, “Lancer Family? Aren’t you being overbearing? Do you know the details of the Lancer Family? Do you know the situation here? They are the largest firearms supplier family in Europe…”
“Are they the biggest?” Yang Ming’s lips twitched and he said, “I don’t think so? As far as I know, the biggest firearms supplier should be the Buffon Family, right?”
