Chapter 785 Old Liu Plans Five Routes 2
Butcher Wang stared intently at Old Liu. "You better give me a reasonable explanation, or I'll pluck every last one of those old, scraggly hairs from your head, and then gouge the eyes out of that fool from before."
Old Liu said helplessly, "Do you know why Zang Tianji is so good at calculating fate, but still loses to Zero time and time again?"
"Because Zang Tianji believes in fate, but Zero never considers destiny."
"Zang Tianji peers into the Heavenly Dao, but Zero walks the path of humanity."
"Is that why Dong A'pang can terrify the martial world, but is always overshadowed by Nan Weiyang?"
Butcher Wang shook his head. "I don't understand what you mean!"
Old Liu said, "Let me put it this way! Why didn't Zang Tianji just forcefully seize the Hanba, but instead insisted on making a deal with our Lord?"
"That's because the two approaches generate different karma. It's like a person reaching a fork in the road and choosing to go left or right. As a master of fate, Zang Tianji will inevitably choose the path that avoids karma."
"Because he knows that the more karma there is, the more trouble there will be later. Maybe a butterfly effect will occur and stir up a storm around him."
"Like this time, no matter what Zang Tianji gives the employer, it's just a transaction, a mutually willing exchange. Even if karma is involved, Liang界堂 (Two Realms Hall) will block eighty percent of it. But, it's different if they break the agreement and take the Hanba back themselves. That involves a lot of karma. Zang Tianji won't spare them."
Butcher Wang was stunned for a long time before muttering to herself, "Is that so?"
Old Liu said confidently, "I'll bet you that Zang Tianji will personally send the Hanba back before sunset at the latest!"
Butcher Wang said, "Alright! What do you want to bet?"
Old Liu said, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll owe it to you for now!"
After Old Liu finished speaking, he shouted into the house, "Bring it out earlier, I'll just eat outside."
While Old Liu was eating breakfast, the Dong A'pang's henchmen ran into Zang Tianji who was rushing over. As soon as he saw Zang Tianji, he immediately went up to him and said, "Leader, your subordinate has brought the Hanba back."
Zang Tianji's face turned ashen in an instant, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the blind cane bulged.
However, Zang Tianji was sitting in the car all the time, and the henchman who greeted him was kneeling outside the car, so he couldn't see Zang Tianji's face. Otherwise, he would immediately know that he was in deep trouble.
Zang Tianji said with rising and falling chest, "Tell me what happened just now, don't miss a single word."
The henchman vividly told the story, and the blood vessels on Zang Tianji's forehead were already strained: "So, Liu Bao took the initiative to hand over the Hanba?"
"Yes, yes..." The henchman hadn't reacted yet: "Everyone says Liang界堂 (Two Realms Hall) is rampant and unscrupulous, but I didn't expect them to be a bunch of cowards. As soon as they heard the leader's prestige, they immediately handed over the Hanba obediently!"
Zang Tianji said in a somber voice, "It seems I have to thank you for helping me show off my power!"
The henchman was overjoyed and said, "It's what this subordinate should do!"
Zang Tianji squeezed a word out of his teeth: "Reward!"
Someone came down from the car behind, walked to the henchman's side, waved his hand and slashed the other's head with a knife. The man's head immediately rolled to the ground, and the splashing blood also drew a scarlet arc on the car window.
Zang Tianji said coldly, "Clean up this place and take the heads to Liang界堂 (Two Realms Hall)."
Zang Tianji's driver started the car and drove away, followed by bursts of knife sounds. In less than a while, everyone who had been to Liang界堂 (Two Realms Hall) was executed by Zang Tianji, and the coffin followed Zang Tianji back to Liang界堂 (Two Realms Hall).
Butcher Wang couldn't help but be dumbfounded when she saw Zang Tianji — she didn't expect Zang Tianji to really come, and so quickly.
Zang Tianji got out of the car and walked straight to Old Liu: "Master Liu, I'm sorry, my subordinates have caused trouble for Liang界堂 (Two Realms Hall)."
Butcher Wang later told me that when she saw Zang Tianji, she had a feeling that the other person wasn't blind. Otherwise, how could he have walked so accurately to Old Liu's side?
In fact, I had this feeling the first time I saw Zang Tianji.
Seeing that Old Liu didn't respond, Zang Tianji waved to his back. Another car immediately drove into the Liang界堂 (Two Realms Hall) courtyard. After turning around in the courtyard, Zang Tianji's guards directly opened the trunk, revealing more than a dozen bloody heads, including the henchman who had come to Liang界堂 (Two Realms Hall) to show off his power.
Zang Tianji said: "Earlier, when I was in seclusion deducing heavenly secrets, someone joined forces to disrupt my calculations, and instigated my subordinates to come to Liang界堂 (Two Realms Hall) to cause trouble..."
Old Liu patiently waited for the other party to finish speaking before opening his mouth and said: "Leader Zang Tianji, you should understand as a master of fate, you are already one step late. Even if you punish your subordinates, you have already incurred karma. Am I right?"
Old Liu's calling the other party "Leader Zang Tianji" wasn't to be friendly, nor was it to show how close he was to the other party, but because that's how the rules of the art world are.
Zang Tianji is not her real name. "Zang" is not her surname either. It's not appropriate to call the other party "Leader Zang." Therefore, taking the last word of the other party's title and adding a title is a sign of respect.
Old Liu couldn't call the other party "Leader Ji", so he had to use both words.
