Chapter 46: A False Alarm

  "Recently XA has been in a mess, today I called several big brothers to ask what plans do you have?" Old man Sun asked softly after drinking a sip of fragrant tea handed over by Liu Bo.

  "What does Old Master Sun want us to do? As long as Old Master Sun says something, I will definitely follow it." The farmer's successor flattered and said that he was very clear about who this old man was. If he was favored by Old Master Sun, he would have no worries in the future.

  The old man Sun looked at him curiously and replied evasively: "You're the successor of the peasants, aren't you? What's your name?"

  The farmer's successor saw the old man ask his name, this is not a treatment that anyone can enjoy, and hurriedly replied: "The little one is called Tang Niu."

  Grandfather Sun nodded slightly and turned to look at Tang Feng and Guimian, continuing in a soft voice: "I'm not as capable as I used to be, I've grown old and useless, and I don't have the right to order you around. I just can't bear to see XA in such disarray. XA has a large population, but its economic development is far behind that of other major cities. I just want to see XA prosper before I die."

  Tang Feng smiled lightly and said, "I don't understand what Old Man Sun is saying. The prosperity of this city is the government's business, what does it have to do with us who are mixed up in the underworld?"

  Mr. Sun also smiled and said to Tang Feng, "Do you think so? You're not a fool, I think you must know there's something fishy going on here. As the saying goes, 'one mountain can't have two tigers', if a city has several big shots, can it not be chaotic? If a city is in chaos, can its economy develop? You should know that I've long stopped meddling with underworld affairs. This time, if I hadn't found it unbearable to see XA being so chaotic, I wouldn't have come to find you."

  The demon's face was cold and he smiled slightly, saying: "Old man, you're wrong to say that. Since you've already washed your hands of the matter, you shouldn't be concerned with the disputes of the underworld. However, I do agree with what you said. XA has been chaotic for too long, it's time someone took charge." He then glanced at Tang Feng.

  Grandpa Sun smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, young people are indeed young people. Since you've said so, I won't say anything else. Leave the underworld matters to you young folks, and this old man will just focus on enjoying his retirement, hehe." After finishing speaking, he stood up with Liu Bo's support and left the room.

  Everyone has left, Tang Feng naturally wouldn't stay behind either, he stepped out and left, while Gui Mian and Tang Niu also followed suit.

  Tang Feng just opened the car door, and the voice of the ghost mask sounded in his ear: "Both you and I only have one chance, whoever wins will be the dragon head of XA."

  Tang Feng's mouth corners slightly curled up, coldly laughing and saying without turning his head: "If you think you have the strength to rival me, I don't care if you come looking for trouble." After finishing speaking, he got into the car, started the engine and left.

  Tang Feng didn't put himself in his eyes, and the ghost face, who was extremely confident, clenched his fists tightly towards the direction of the car leaving and shouted: "I admit you are very strong, but there is no word 'fear' in my ghost face dictionary." After finishing, he also left Sun's house.

  Just after Tang Feng and the others left, in the third floor study, Old Master Sun lay on the reclining chair with his eyes slightly closed, saying: "These young people nowadays, hehe, truly don't know the height of the sky or the thickness of the earth."

  Liu Bohan heard this and his eyes left the screen, a faint smile on his face: "You wouldn't be ignoring him just because that Ghost Face dared to speak out of turn and offend you, would you? These young people are indeed arrogant."

  "Hey, Xiao Liu, you've been with me for over 40 years. Don't you know what kind of person I am? I'm not going to get worked up over such a small matter with those young people. Young people being arrogant is a good thing, but they need to have the capital to back it up. If they don't have that capital, then it's just blind arrogance. That Gui Mian is still so young and an orphan too, yet he was able to make a name for himself without anyone's help - now that's some arrogant capital."

  "I was confused, but nowadays young people are really not simple. That Tang Feng, I couldn't even see through his depth."

  "Hehe, yeah, but the more complicated they are, the happier I am? Who do you think will win among the three of them?"

  "Tang Feng, without a doubt, that Tang Niu has basically been eliminated. If the Farmer was still around, just those firearms in his hands would be enough to wipe out these two young people. But the Farmer has already retired from the scene. As for Gui Mian, this young man is a talent, if it weren't for Tang Feng, he might have had hope of unifying XA. But unfortunately, he encountered Tang Feng."

  "What you said is not wrong, this Tang Feng is absolutely not simple. Let's not talk about his skills, but from the fact that he can cripple a farmer under the threat of over a dozen guns, it can be seen that he's not ordinary. Being able to unify the southern suburbs in just one month with XA's short segment is no easy feat, although there's some luck involved. But as they say, luck always stands on the side of those who have skills. If I had to choose, I would also choose him."

  "Haha, then I'll be the first to congratulate the old master on having such an outstanding successor."

  "Let's not talk about whether he's the right successor or not for now," said Old Master Sun, waving his hand. "Look at how he performs this time. If he uses any underhanded tactics and wins, I won't choose him even if he defeats everyone else. One must be upright and honest when coming out into society; a petty person is absolutely not worthy of being my successor. Besides, we're still unsure whether others will agree to our plans or not."

  Liu Bo nodded and said, "I can see from Tang Feng's eyes that he is very confident. People like him value their reputation the most. I think he won't resort to unscrupulous means to achieve his goals. As for whether he will accept your kindness, I am really worried. If he doesn't accept it, what do you plan to do?"

  Old Master Sun suddenly opened his eyes, with a cold glint in them that seemed almost tangible. He looked at Liu Bo and said: "If he doesn't accept, then we'll have to choose again. But he must die, I don't want to leave any threats for my successor."

  After finishing, Old Man Sun gazed out the window with a hint of sorrow in his eyes and said softly: "Bao'er left too early, our Sun family only has Bao'er as the sole male heir. Who could have thought that he would leave me just like his father did? Leaving this old widower to struggle on alone... I don't want to see the empire we old brothers fought for with our lives fall apart in my hands. If I went to the afterlife, I wouldn't even have the face to meet them. Although there's still Rui'er in the Sun family, she's just a daughter after all, and she's never been interested in business matters."

  Liu Bo didn't say a word, he just let out a soft sigh. Tang Feng had given him a very good impression, and he genuinely liked Tang Feng. Of course, he also hoped that Tang Feng could defeat the Ghost Face, but he was afraid that Tang Feng wouldn't accept his good intentions. Although the Sun family's wealth had a fatal attraction to anyone, he really didn't dare to confirm what decision Tang Feng would make.

  Liu Bo could only say in his heart: Tang Feng, you must not let me and the old master down, even if it's for your life. Liu Bo was very clear that if Old Master Sun wanted to kill Tang Feng, then Tang Feng would not be able to escape from XA City even if he grew wings. For any matter concerning Tang Feng, Old Master Sun knew everything clearly. Although Old Master Sun had retired from the underworld, XA and the entire northwest were still his territory.

  The "Hongmen Banquet" that had worried the Huaxing Society for a long time turned out to be a gathering where Old Master Sun chose his successor and distributed "test papers", I really don't know what Tang Feng and the others would think if they knew.
