Chapter 517: Chapter 517: Playing with Fire

That night, Yang Yu took a helicopter from Las Vegas and arrived in another city in M Country—Jinshan.

Jinshan had a particularly large Xia Country population, many of whom had immigrated over the previous century.

Of course, their paths included both legal and illegal.

The headquarters of the Wanzhong Association was in Jinshan, and Hong Gang greeted Yang Yu with great enthusiasm, "Chairman Yang, I have long admired your reputation. It’s a great fortune to meet you today!"

Hong Gang greeted Yang Yu with clenched fists, and Yang Yu also returned the gesture, "Mr. Hong, it’s a pleasure to meet you."

Yang Yu glanced at the young man beside Hong Gang, and though there was no special expression on the young man’s face, Yang Yu, who was good at judging character, still felt the malice and envy the young man harbored towards him.

Yang Yu wondered to himself, since he had never offended the young man, where did such strong malice and envy come from?

Hong Gang, unaware of all this, cheerfully said to Yang Yu, "Chairman Yang, this is my son, Hong Ye."

Hong Ye bowed respectfully to Yang Yu, "Honored to meet you, Chairman Yang."

"It’s a pleasure," Yang Yu smiled, "I’ve caused some trouble in Las Vegas and have come to bother you in the middle of the night, Mr. Hong. I’m really sorry. Take these two Earth Origin Pills as a meeting gift."

"Earth Origin Pill?" Hong Gang’s eyes lit up, "Is it the same elixir you gave Chairman Wan last time?"

"Yes," Yang Yu nodded, "It’s just a small token of appreciation, not worth much..."

"Dad, it’s just two pills, why are you so excited?" Hong Ye asked casually, with the word "just" clearly showing his attitude.

Perhaps because Hong Gang was used to his son’s mannerisms, he didn’t find anything off and patiently explained, "Chairman Wan looked over five years younger and was full of vitality after taking this elixir last time. I’ve heard that these pills sell for five million each in Xia Country, and even then, it depends on whether Chairman Yang has them in stock!"

"Oh, I see," Hong Ye smiled, "Thank you, Chairman Yang."

"You’re welcome," Yang Yu replied with a knowing smile, "If Brother Hong has any questions about Martial Arts, I can also be of assistance."

Hong Gang added, "Chairman Yang is about your age, but his mastery of Martial Arts has reached the divine realm. You should take the opportunity to learn from him."

Hong Ye was very polite, "I wouldn’t dare to trouble Chairman Yang. My Martial Arts strength is not strong, and I have not yet reached the realm that requires your guidance. If I encounter a bottleneck in the future, I will definitely seek advice from you."

"Ha-ha, that works," Hong Gang laughed heartily, "Chairman Yang, I wanted to entertain you properly, but you have to go to the airport at dawn. I can only prepare a modest dinner, let’s have a few drinks."

"All right," Yang Yu nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Hong."

The four of them sat in a small room drinking, with Hong Gang tactfully avoiding the subject of Las Vegas, instead talking about Yang Yu’s future overseas business plans.

Although Wanyao had established an overseas chamber of commerce, it lacked the support of major domestic families and was in many ways stretched thin.

Yang Yu’s chamber of commerce perfectly compensated for the limitations of the Wanyao Chamber of Commerce, hence the two embarked on a deep collaboration.

The Wanzhong Association was known for its gang reputation, but its business affairs were a mess, so it considered taking a stake.

Hong Gang was discussing these matters with Yang Yu because he wanted to see if there were any projects he could take part in.

Yang Yu understood Hong Gang’s intentions and said with a light smile, "Mr. Hong, for any project that catches your eye, you’re welcome to invest in it. Of course, the share won’t be too high."

"Naturally, hahaha," Hong Gang laughed heartily. "Here’s to you, Chairman Yang!"

"Thank you, Mr. Hong." Yang Yu and Hong Gang clinked glasses and drank. With plenty of alcohol in him, Hong Gang became more talkative. "Ah Ye, you really need to learn more from Chairman Yang. You’re about the same age, yet Chairman Yang is far more outstanding..."

"Just lucky, that’s all." Yang Yu finally understood why Hong Ye had such strong malice and jealousy towards him; he’d inadvertently become the "child of someone else’s family" in Hong Ye’s eyes, and given Hong Ye’s small-mindedness, it was natural for him to resent Yang Yu.

Yang Yu’s words were actually an attempt to defuse Hong Ye’s jealousy, but he also knew that his intentions might not be appreciated by the other party.

He just did what he could within his ability; as long as his conscience was clear, that was enough.

"My dad practically worships Chairman Yang as a god, so naturally, I have to properly learn from Chairman Yang." Hong Ye’s face was brimming with smiles, and it looked like he sincerely wanted to learn from Yang Yu. "Actually, I’m really curious about what Chairman Yang was doing in Las Vegas, how come in the middle of the night..."

"Ah Ye, don’t ask about things you shouldn’t!" Hong Gang finally realized something was off with his son and his expression suddenly darkened.

"Hehe." Yang Yu just smiled. "Brother Hong Ye, I was only passing through here to have a drink with folks from Xia Country. You’re not aware of my feud with the Miller Family. If the Miller Family comes troubling you, that wouldn’t be right. Do you understand?"

"If you really want to know..." Yang Yu said, looking meaningfully at Hong Ye, "I’m not against telling you."

Hong Ye’s face twitched slightly, and Hong Gang hurriedly apologized, "Chairman Yang, Ah Ye is too thoughtless."

"No, he’s too thoughtful," Yang Yu said with a smile. "He’s worried I might drag you into trouble, so he must clear things up. Since that’s the case, I’ll tell you. Besides you, no one else knows I was here. If the Miller Family finds out, it can only be because you told them."

Hong Gang was painfully embarrassed and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Yang Yu didn’t care whether he was embarrassed or not and directly narrated the events: "Here’s what happened..."

After hearing what Yang Yu had to say, Hong Gang finally realized how big of a game Yang Yu was playing; his face stiffened.

Hong Ye, however, was somewhat skeptical because he didn’t believe that Yang Yu and Lu Ah could have such formidable combat abilities: "Chairman Yang, are you sure you aren’t mistaking the number of people?"

"Believe it or not, that’s up to you," Yang Yu answered with a smile. "You can even send someone to inquire with the Miller Family. Though they will definitely try to keep this quiet, there’s no wall in this world that can block all winds."

"Of course, if you don’t want to draw the fire upon yourself, I suggest you refrain from asking."

Having said that, Yang Yu stood up from his seat, raising his glass. "It’s about time for me to go; I toast to you, Brother Hong, before I leave."

Yang Yu emptied his glass and bade farewell to Hong Gang: "Mr. Hong, we shall meet again."

Hong Gang nodded, "We shall meet again."

Hong Gang instructed someone to escort Yang Yu out and then turned around, staring at his son with a grim expression: "Ah Ye, when will you learn to be sensible?"

"Dad, I was just curious," Hong Ye replied. "That said, Yang Yu has offended the Miller Family so gravely. If we help him escape M Country, might the Miller Family turn around and come after us?"
