225: Chapter 221: Agree 225: Chapter 221: Agree Upon seeing Hou Donggui and Buck Teeth Zhu at the door of the suite, Chen Hai was momentarily stunned.
But it was only for an instant, and he quickly reacted, “Brother Hou, Brother Zhu, please come in, come in.
Whatever it is, let’s talk inside the room!”
Although he somewhat disdained the character of Buck Teeth Zhu,
Having Hou Donggui accompany him to his place was a face that Chen Hai could not afford to ignore.
With a beaming smile, he welcomed the two men into the living room of the suite.
After boiling a pot of hot tea, Chen Hai finally sat down on the sofa in the living room.
“Brother Chen, Brother Zhu is indeed from the underworld, and that’s true, but he is warm-hearted and values loyalty above all.”
“At times, his actions can be fierce, but they are understandable.
After all, in a place mixed with dragons and snakes like the Hao River, if he were too weak, he probably wouldn’t have survived until today.”
“A few years ago, when I first came to Hao River, he helped me a lot.”
“Without his help, I might have been chopped dead in the streets at that time.”
“On this matter, I owe him a huge debt of gratitude.”
“Allowing Brother Zhu to bring his girlfriend Miaomiao to seek your help was indeed somewhat presumptuous of me.
Little brother, please don’t dwell on it; just consider it a small favor for me!”
With a complex expression and glancing at Chen Hai beside him a few times, Hou Donggui continued, “I can’t make heads or tails of the situation with Brother Zhu.”
“Since you can determine that the culprit responsible for the sudden severe sores on the women around Brother Zhu comes from the Black State,”
“You should have some way to handle his situation.”
“Now, I have brought Brother Zhu here to earnestly request your help.
If you can assist, please do all you can for Brother Zhu!”
…
With a worried look, Hou Donggui heaved a deep sigh.
Since he achieved success in his cultivation, he had granted many favors, but it had been many years since he earnestly asked for help.
The condition of Buck Teeth Zhu didn’t affect him much, as long as he didn’t touch women.
Previously, Chen Hai refused to treat this condition not only because he felt the situation was extremely troublesome,
but another reason was that Chen Hai disdained him, feeling that such a person deserved some punishment.
Carrying the unwillingness of leaving with his girlfriend Miaomiao, Buck Teeth Zhu directly sought out Hou Donggui.
What tribal totems?
What sacrificial blood and life that triggered a mysterious curse?
These were results divined by Chen Hai concerning Buck Teeth Zhu’s condition.
He roughly explained these findings to Hou Donggui as he heard them from Chen Hai.
Unfortunately, specialties differ, and concerning the ancient tribal totems and curses from Black State, Hou Donggui was completely clueless.
He was equally helpless about this thing on Buck Teeth Zhu.
Not only that, but he also made calls, seeking help from acquaintances in his circle.
The outcome was, of course, very unsatisfactory.
After much hesitation and ultimately finding no solution, he had brought Buck Teeth Zhu to Chen Hai.
“Brother Hou, I remember that I once promised you that no matter what it is, as long as you seek me out, if I can help, I absolutely won’t refuse.”
“The situation with Brother Zhu is indeed very troublesome.”
“They say a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall; originally, I did not want to get involved in this matter.”
“But since you, Brother Hou, have personally come forward, not just to see the monk but to see the Buddha, I will try and see if I can help Brother Zhu!”
Hou Donggui pleaded sincerely, and ultimately, Chen Hai could not resist the gracious appeal.
After hesitating for a long time, he sighed deeply and nodded.
Taking his gaze off Hou Donggui, he turned back to Buck Teeth Zhu, “Brother Zhu, as I mentioned before, your situation is very troublesome.”
“I can’t guarantee that I can resolve this issue.
All I can say is that I will do my best!”
“Also, let me declare upfront that if, by chance, this summons some terrible entity that could endanger my life, I definitely won’t stubbornly fight against such a being.”
“If you are determined to have me help, you yourself must be prepared for that!”
In front of Hou Donggui, Chen Hai spoke quite diplomatically.
But when facing Buck Teeth Zhu, he spoke straightforwardly.
“Young Master Chen, as long as you are willing to help, that’s enough.”
“If something terrible is indeed summoned, something even you feel is too powerful to handle, don’t worry about me.
Just do what you see fit.”
“To live this life on the edge, tasting the blade, sooner or later one has to pay; if something happens, I can only blame my own bad luck!”
With a hearty laugh, Buck Teeth Zhu nodded his head.
Not only was he harsh to others, but he was also tough on himself.
Without this ruthlessness, he wouldn’t have thrived on the Hao River.
“Having this mental preparation is good!”
Without expressing any opinion, Chen Hai gave a faint smile and scanned the surroundings before adding, “The space inside a hotel room is a bit too small.”
“Before I perform the ritual for you, you need to prepare a more spacious, secluded place.”
“You need to prepare more rooster blood and black dog blood, and you’ll also need mountain leeches, at least the size of a little finger.
Prepare ninety-nine of them.”
…
After giving instructions to Buck Teeth Zhu, Chen Hai smiled and called out to Hou Donggui, “To prevent any accidents, Brother Hou, please support me during the ritual.”
“Of course, of course!”
Hou Donggui nodded and chuckled, “I have a rough idea about your abilities, Brother, but I haven’t seen them for myself.”
“While you perform the ritual, I would like to watch and observe.
For someone like me, it might inspire some deep insights.”
“Even if you didn’t ask me to support you, I might sneak over and take a peek…”
Hou Donggui made a joke with a chuckle.
“It’s easy to find a place for the ritual, Young Master Chen.
I have a villa by the sea.
You and Master Hou can go directly there.”
“The place is quite spacious and the environment is fairly secluded.”
“At this time, we can move over there.”
“The black dog blood and rooster blood are easy to handle, but the eighty-one mountain leeches might be a bit more troublesome.”
“You and Master Hou might have to wait a bit longer in my villa.”
“But at the latest, by midnight tonight, I will definitely have everything ready.”
Buck Teeth Zhu checked the time; it was just six in the evening, still a bit early.
With a slight frown, Buck Teeth Zhu nodded and made a promise.
As the current Godfather of Hao River, it was no trouble for him to mobilize hundreds or even thousands of people to do his bidding.
In theory, delaying his situation wouldn’t affect anything.
However, right now, he seemed a bit impatient.
It looked like he wanted to resolve this matter tonight, worried that delaying could lead to complications.
Since he had said this, Chen Hai naturally had no reason to object.
After all, in Hao River, even though he wanted to gamble in the casinos, he was respectfully escorted out.
Being in Gambling City and not being able to gamble was certainly frustrating for Chen Hai.
Under such circumstances, his interest in staying had waned significantly.
If it weren’t for his desire to involve Tian Mingjian and Bai Xiaohang in a money-making opportunity, to make them commit fully to serving him, Chen Hai might have already left for his home country.
“Brother Zhu, since you are confident that you can have everything ready before midnight, then Brother Hou and I will head to the villa you mentioned.”
“Moreover, two of my men went out on errands.”
“When they return, have someone notify them of my whereabouts…”
Since they had reached a consensus, the group headed out of the suite.
Chen Hai spoke to Buck Teeth Zhu at the elevator lobby to delegate further.
“Sure!
That’s an easy task, I’ll just instruct my men,” Buck Teeth Zhu responded.
“Young Master Chen, Master Hou, I’ll have my men take you to the villa first.”
“As for myself, I might take a while before I arrive since I need to collect the items you requested.”
Accompanying Chen Hai and Hou Donggui to the lobby, Buck Teeth Zhu apologized to them.
“Understood, understood!”
“Brother Zhu, you go ahead with your tasks.
Brother Hou and I can take this opportunity to have a good chat.”
“He is a senior in the field, and I have quite a few things I wish to learn from him!”
Smiling, Chen Hai nodded in response.
Every discussion with Hou Donggui had been immensely beneficial.
The experiences in cultivation he learned from Hou Donggui often led to insights and discoveries.
Such was the essence of a friendship that transcended age.
Having the chance to talk with Hou Donggui was something Chen Hai naturally welcomed.
Conversely, if Buck Teeth Zhu were to join them, it might make discussing the bizarre and cultivation-related topics somewhat uncomfortable.
Since Chen Hai had agreed, the ever-amiable Hou Donggui naturally raised no objections.
Watching the scene, Buck Teeth Zhu gestured towards a certain direction in the lobby.
Soon after, two young men dressed as hotel security approached.
After receiving instructions from Buck Teeth Zhu, the two men led Chen Hai and Hou Donggui toward the hotel’s parking lot.
