Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Rich and Powerful but Brainless

"If you don’t scram, do you believe I’d chop you dead right now?"

The burly man’s face was fierce, and his aura was ferocious; clearly, he wasn’t just making empty threats.

Chen Xuan’s eyes instantly turned ice-cold.

He had come here solely to find that Brother Guo for some answers and had no plans for additional trouble. But trouble sought him regardless, and now, if he didn’t make a move, he feared he wouldn’t get the chance to see that surname Guo today!

"I came here today just to find the guy surnamed Guo, not to look for trouble."

"Also, don’t think that just because you’re holding a knife, others have to be afraid of you."

"In front of me, your knife isn’t as effective as my fist!"

Chen Xuan said to the burly man, word by word, not the least bit polite.

The burly man was completely enraged, "Fuck, I think you’re asking for death! Fine, today I really want to see if it’s your fist that’s solid, or my knife!"

With that said, the burly man’s blade rose and fell, aiming straight for Chen Xuan’s head.

This blade was charged with killing intent, without any sign of holding back, truly aiming to cleave Chen Xuan in half!

A cold glint flashed in Chen Xuan’s eyes. With just a word, this brutal person was going for the kill; naturally, Chen Xuan would not show mercy!

As the blade came down, Chen Xuan didn’t hesitate at all and punched out.

This punch hit right at the burly man’s hand that was holding the handle of the knife.

Under the force of this fierce punch, the seemingly unstoppable blade was suddenly deflected back.

The next instant.

Splash!

Blood sprayed, and an arm fell to the ground.

The burly man’s arm had been chopped off by the recoiling back of the blade!

Hiss...

The other three men couldn’t help but gasp at the scene before them.

A blade’s back harming someone?

What kind of strength is this?!

"Dare to mess with our Dadao Association’s people, you’re asking for death!"

The three burly men leveraged their superior numbers, drew the large knives from behind, and simultaneously struck at Chen Xuan!

At the same time, inside the private room.

Two people were sitting face to face, talking and laughing.

One of them was Brother Guo, also known as Guo Gongcheng, whom Ding Lijuan was looking for.

Sitting across from Guo Gongcheng was a man nearly two meters tall, extremely burly.

The man was bare-armed, his muscles bulging, visibly a type with explosive strength.

Next to him, a large knife within a wooden box leaned against the wall; the knife was one and a half meters tall, giving off a strong visual impact such that no one doubted that this knife could really cleave an elephant in half!

This burly man was the boss of the Dadao Association, Tang Dao!

The Dadao Association was the largest underground power in the local area of Jinling, with all of its members being knife users.

In a territory where hot weapons were regulated, such an arrangement naturally made the Dadao Association dominate the local scene in Jinling, with no one daring to provoke them.

Moreover, as the boss of the Dadao Association, Tang Dao was a true martial master, possessing the power of Peak Inner Strength. In all of Jinling, including members of the Martial Alliance, there weren’t many who dared to disrespect Tang Dao!

Tang Dao had connections, power, and influence, but unfortunately, he lacked brains!

A few days ago, Guo Gongcheng claimed to be a representative from the Royal family of Sakura Country and started a venture in the upper circles of Huai City, stating he could connect with the Royal family of Sakura Country and secure some major infrastructure projects.

These projects were frighteningly large, boasting billions in value!

Just as Tang Dao’s men owned several construction companies and were thinking of taking on a few major projects to work on, hearing the news about Guo Gongcheng was a perfect fit, and they immediately got in touch with him. Today, they were already at the critical point of cooperation.

In fact, Guo Gongcheng didn’t know Tang Dao’s identity at the beginning. He just wanted to swindle some money and certainly didn’t want to risk his life.

For a desperado like Tang Dao, Guo Gongcheng usually kept his distance.

However, it was Tang Dao who took the initiative to seek out Guo Gongcheng, asking for help to make connections, which Guo Gongcheng found himself unable to refuse.

Back and forth like this, Tang Dao had long since trusted Guo Gongcheng implicitly.

And now, Guo Gongcheng was in too deep to back out, even if he wanted to stop swindling!

Nevertheless, Guo Gongcheng had already planned that once he pulled off this big job, he would retire and find a place abroad to live out his days in comfort.

As for Tang Dao, even if he was incredibly capable, Guo wasn’t afraid. After all, in the vast sea of people, there was no way Tang Dao could find him!

"Mr. Guo, how are things proceeding with the arrangements?" Tang Dao asked with a beaming smile, his demeanor very amiable.

Just by looking at him now, it would be hard to imagine that over the years, he had used the knife by his side to kill countless innocent civilians.

Having been a con man for many years, Guo Gongcheng knew exactly how to deal with people like Tang Dao—the more arrogant you act, the more trustworthy they consider you.

So whenever Guo Gongcheng interacted with Tang Dao, he always carried an air of arrogance, never putting Tang Dao in his eyes.

"Rest assured, I’ve already delivered the message. However, the result might be a bit disappointing..."

Guo Gongcheng sighed, his expression somewhat helpless.

Tang Dao’s heart skipped a beat, "Mr. Guo, please speak frankly."

"Here’s the thing, as you know, this project is quite substantial. The Royal side, although they want it done by a private company, also has high demands for the private party."

"And President Tang’s conditions... seem to be somewhat lacking..."

Tang Dao suddenly understood; after all, he was well aware of his own situation.

Although his construction companies did have some capacity, they were far from capable of handling projects worth tens of billions.

Such feedback from the Royal side was not surprising.

"Mr. Guo, I know our strength is slightly inadequate, but we have plenty of sincerity on our side!"

"Plus, we’re all acquainted, which makes communication easier. If you want to get involved in some other business in the future, we can trust each other..."

Guo Gongcheng had previously hinted to Tang Dao that the Royal side’s choice to outsource to a private company was actually an opportunity to make a profit.

In fact, this was deliberately leaving Tang Dao with hope.

Now, Tang Dao had fallen for it, realizing that company strength was not the only factor. The first priority was to establish a good relationship with Guo Gongcheng, the representative, to facilitate under-the-table deals in the future.

During the conversation, Tang Dao took out a bank card he had prepared in advance from his pocket and handed it to Guo Gongcheng.

"This card contains a small token of my appreciation, not much, just a billion! I hope Mr. Guo will accept it!"

Pfft!

Guo Gongcheng was so excited that he nearly spat out blood.

A billion!

Tang Dao was indeed generous!

It was just the beginning. Once the cooperation was truly confirmed, it would be time to negotiate a deposit with Tang Dao, and that’s when the real money would come.

Through this back and forth, Guo Gongcheng could make at least ten billion or even more!

Although he was incredibly excited inside, Guo Gongcheng maintained an indifferent and aloof demeanor on the surface.

He only glanced at the bank card on the table, and his expression immediately became somewhat impatient.

"President Tang, you’ve misunderstood. What I said wasn’t intended to solicit benefits from you! You should take your money back!"

This move was called playing hard to get!
