Chapter 411 - Give Me 7 Days Time
Chapter 411 of "The Strongest Dandy in the City" introduces new challenges: The next day, at noon, inside the Royal Club of Capital City.The Royal Club in... Keep following!
The next day, at noon, inside the Royal Club of Capital City.The Royal Club in Capital City belonged to the top tier of clubsâsimply having money was not sufficient to gain entry; one must also have a certain status.
Therefore, the patrons of the Royal Club were almost exclusively eminent figures who were influential in Capital City, and being able to enter the Royal Club was a symbol of another level of status.
Located in an elegantly serene part of Capital City, the Royal Club might be slightly off the beaten path.
But isnât that what modern people seekâto return to nature?
Surrounded by mountains and waters, the air around the Royal Club was very fresh, making it an excellent place to relax.
Of course, the Royal Clubâs grounds were also vast, complete with every conceivable facilityâanything you could think of, the Royal Club could provide.
With European-style decor at its facade, the entrance was guarded by six security personnel.
Naturally, the Royal Club had its own security department, since the clientele were all individuals with a certain standing, and therefore security measures were implemented to be as foolproof as possible.
Ordinary people simply couldnât mingle in the Royal Clubâentrance required a membership card.
There were two types of membership cards: Silver, representing ordinary members, and Gold, symbolizing the most esteemed members.
It was said that since its inception, only ten Gold Cards had ever been issued, highlighting the exclusivity of such a status at the Royal Club.
It was no accident that the Royal Club became a top club in Capital City; the owner behind it had a complicated identity.
Otherwise, in a place with such profound depth as Capital City, the Royal Club would have been unable to survive.
Yesterday, Hao Maoyan, the leader of the Blood Dyed Association, and Yin Feilong, the leader of the Wanren Association, reached a consensus.
They arranged to meet with Xue Chengli, the leader of the Dragon Tyranny Association, today at the Royal Club, preparing to demand a reasonable explanation for their two associations.
In one of the ordinary private rooms of the Royal Club, the floor was covered with a soft, handcrafted genuine leather rug that felt extremely comfortable underfoot.
The furnishings in the room were also quite luxurious.
If an ordinary private room in the Royal Club was this perfect, what would the VIP private rooms be like?
Sitting on the imported leather sofa in the private room were three stern men.
A conventionally pretty waitress dressed in a cheongsam kneeled with practiced ease, expertly brewing tea for the men.
To become a waitress at the Royal Club, one had to have certain skills.
The Royal Club also offered exceptional benefits.
Working here meant earning a salary about ten times higher than that in other places, and the guests would never harass the waitresses.
First, the patrons who could enter the Royal Club were all incredibly prestigious in Capital City; second, the enigmatic and unique identity of the clubâs behind-the-scenes owner meant no one dared to cause a scene.
Thus, there had never been any chaos in the Royal Club over the years!
After preparing three fragrant cups of tea, the youngest of the three men on the sofa, who was in his thirties, waved his hand and said, âYou can go now.â
The waitress stood up gracefully and said in a sweet voice, âPlease call me at any time if you need anything.â With that, the waitress left the private room.
The man who had just spoken was Xue Chengli, the leader of the Dragon Tyranny Association; his companions were Hao Maoyan and Yin Feilong, the leaders of the Blood Dyed Association and the Wanren Association, respectively.
With an unwavering gaze, Xue Chengli picked up the teacup in front of him, smelled it, then took a subtle sip and said, âLeader Hao, Leader Yin, what is the matter that you wanted to discuss with me today?â
Hao Maoyan let out a cold snort in displeasure upon seeing Xue Chengli play dumb and remain silent.
He said, âChairman Xue, you ought to be very clear about why we have come to find you. á´á´á´ á´á´á´ ę°Ęá´á´ Nová´lFÉŞre.ná´t
Donât treat everyone in the world as a fool.
If you are unwilling to give us a satisfactory response, Chairman Yin and I wouldnât mind joining forces to ensure that your Dragon Tyranny Association vanishes completely from Capital City.â
Xue Chengliâs face changed, his grip on the teacup tightened, a flicker of murderous intent flashed through his eyes, and with a smile at the corner of his mouth, he said, âChairman Hao, what are you talking about?
Do you think our Dragon Tyranny Association is so easy to bully?
I, Xue Chengli, have never been afraid of anyone growing up!
Even if your two big gangs unite against our Dragon Tyranny Association, we would certainly disappear from Capital City eventually, but I could also make your two big gangs suffer significant losses.â
The Wanren Associationâs chairman, Yin Feilong, who was over fifty years old, had his murky eyes gradually become sharp as he opened his mouth to say, âChairman Xue, thereâs no need to beat around the bush.
Today, we just want a satisfactory response from you.
Yesterday, wasnât your Dragon Tyranny Associationâs Evil Tiger seen at the Victory Sky Society?
And it seems like the higher-ups of the Victory Sky Society have a rather good relationship with your Evil Tiger?â
âAfter the Victory Sky Society extinguished the Honghai Association in Capital City, we three big gangs had an agreement that we wouldnât allow the Victory Sky Society to gain a foothold in Capital City.
We had to make them disappear from Capital City, yet your Dragon Tyranny Associationâs people have such a special relationship with the Victory Sky Society.
Donât you think you owe us an explanation, Chairman Xue?â
Xue Chengli put down his teacup and said, âChairman Hao, Chairman Yin, do you really think our Dragon Tyranny Association intends to collude with the Victory Sky Society?
The Victory Sky Society doesnât even catch my eye, Xue Chengli.
The reason we are so concerned about the Victory Sky Society is because of Tianhaiâs Victory Sky Society unifying the underground forces in Tianhai in such a short time.
We fear that Capital Cityâs Victory Sky Society could become the second Tianhai Victory Sky Society.â
âWhether you two believe it or not, I only sent Evil Tiger to probe the Victory Sky Society, and there was no other intention.
All of this must be an arrangement by the Victory Sky Society; we must not fall for their tricks.â
As the leaders of the Blood Dyed Association and the Wanren Association, Hao Maoyan and Yin Feilong, how could they not have thought of this possibility?
Even if they knew about this possibility, they were not willing to let go of this chance.
The three big gangs in Capital City were originally adversaries, and now the Blood Dyed Association and the Wanren Association could take this opportunity to suppress the Dragon Tyranny Association.
Opportunities like this didnât come often.
âChairman Xue, many things canât be explained with just your side of the story.
Chairman Yin and I didnât arrange to meet you here today just to listen to your sanctimonious words,â Hao Maoyan said, giving no face to Xue Chengli.
âChairman Xue, I think Chairman Hao is right.
If you want us to let go of our suspicions, you must show enough sincerity.
Otherwise, even if it means both our gangs suffer greatly, we will still wage war against your Dragon Tyranny Association,â Yin Feilong said as he picked up the teacup with his wrinkled palm, took a sip, and commented, âGood tea, indeed a fine tea.â
Xue Chengli knew that Hao Maoyan and Yin Feilong had set their hearts on standing together against him, and it was inappropriate for the Dragon Tyranny Association to confront these two powerhouses head-on.
Suppressing the rage in his heart, he said, âChairman Hao, Chairman Yin, give me seven days.
In seven days, I, Xue Chengli, will surely give you a satisfactory reply.â
At this point, Xue Chengli had no other choice but to sacrifice Evil Tiger as the most prudent course of action.
However, to sacrifice Evil Tiger, a sufficient cause had to be established to justify his execution.
Otherwise, he might not win the support of the Dragon Tyranny Association.
âAlright, I believe that Chairman Xue will keep his word.
I, Hao Maoyan, will wait for seven days,â Hao Maoyan said with a smile.
Yin Feilong also nodded and said, âChairman Xue, you certainly should not make it difficult for us!
We do not wish to start a war with the Dragon Tyranny Association.
I will wait for your reply in seven days.â
With a smile on his face yet seething with fury inside, Xue Chengli thought, âHao Maoyan, Yin Feilong, I, Xue Chengli, will remember what you two have done today.
Someday I will make you both wholly regret it.
For now, just enjoy yourselves!â
After settling the terms and making agreements in the private room at the Royal Club, the three gang leaders left one after another, each preoccupied with their thoughts.
After all, as leaders, they had many matters to attend to every day.
Moreover, the three were not friends and had no reason to sit together idle and chat.
