“Who are you?”
Looking at Wan Yunting, who had his hands raised and wore a smiling, friendly demeanor, Luo Ya'ao Lique raised an eyebrow in confusion. He glanced at the Asian man, thinking of the Asians among his subordinates, none of whom he recognized. How did this man manage to get in, and even dare to barge into his sister’s room?
“Hmm, he looks familiar!”
Baskeks Kai, who had followed in to watch the commotion, found Wan Yunting’s smiling face somewhat familiar.
Luo Ya'ao Lique turned to him and said coldly, “Is he one of yours?”
“No.”
Baskeks Kai shook his head slightly, and then his memory clicked. He pointed at Wan Yunting and said, “He looks like that Chinese guy!”
“What did you say?”
Luo Ya'ao Lique’s expression turned serious. He turned to look at Wan Yunting. As they were speaking in Mexican, Wan Yunting couldn’t understand their conversation.
“Show me the photo of that Chinese guy.”
Luo Ya'ao Lique immediately said to a subordinate beside him. The subordinate took out his phone and found a photo, which was a clear shot of Wan Yunting, surreptitiously taken when he appeared at Kong Xuefeng’s company entrance.
At this moment, Luo Ya'ao Lique and Baskeks Kai looked at Wan Yunting with changed expressions. They had, for the first time, decided to cooperate precisely because this young man had killed Belt in the United States, giving them an opportunity to reclaim the territories and drug markets that had been seized by the Dragon Gang drug cartel.
“Excuse me, could you speak English? Chinese would be even better!”
Wan Yunting, of course, also recognized Luo Ya'ao Lique and Baskeks Kai. He had previously asked Daniel to investigate them and had seen their photos.
“Are you the Chinese man who killed Belt?”
Luo Ya'ao Lique looked at Wan Yunting with surprise, sizing him up. The information from his contacts in the US indicated that this Chinese man was very formidable. He had not only infiltrated the Brooklyn district alone, causing immense damage, but had also ambushed the Faimeng Motors junkyard and killed Belt without a trace, even rescuing Jiang Wenhao, the Wall Street wolf.
After all, both Luo Ya and Bas had informants and sources within the Dragon Gang drug cartel!
Seeing that Luo Ya'ao Lique was speaking English, Wan Yunting lowered his hands and smiled, “It seems you know me!”
“Of course.”
Baskeks Kai nodded with a smile.
However, Gonzales, who was wrapped in a towel, stood to the side, looking at her brother Luo Ya'ao Lique with confusion. She pointed at Wan Yunting and asked, “Who is he?”
Luo Ya'ao Lique, who had just reacted, said to Gonzales, “You go inside first.”
Two maids led the bewildered Gonzales into the room. The guards did not lower their assault rifles and kept them aimed at Wan Yunting. Luo Ya'ao Lique looked at him and asked, “Can you explain to us now why you are here?”
Baskeks Kai, standing beside him, looked at Wan Yunting and smiled without speaking, but he was also very curious as to why this calm Chinese man had appeared tonight, and how the guards outside had been completely unaware.
Wan Yunting shrugged his shoulders and smiled, “I came tonight to find you. Of course, appearing here was purely a misunderstanding. I didn’t intend to offend that beautiful woman.”
“Find us?”
Baskeks Kai looked at him and smiled, “It seems you came prepared!”
Luo Ya'ao Lique narrowed his eyes and said, “I can overlook your offense to my sister earlier, but if you don’t give me a good reason, I will kill you myself!”
“Don’t misunderstand, I’m not here to kill you tonight.”
Wan Yunting quickly waved his hands and said with a smile, “I came because I want to seek cooperation with you two!”
This statement made Luo Ya'ao Lique and Baskeks Kai exchange glances and then turn their heads to look at Wan Yunting in confusion, saying, “Cooperation? What do you want to cooperate with us on?”
Wan Yunting smiled, “Naturally, it’s cooperation that will benefit you!”
Baskeks Kai nodded and smiled, “That’s interesting.”
Wan Yunting gestured towards the subordinates still pointing their guns at him and said with a smile, “Could I trouble you to have them lower their guns? I don’t like people pointing guns at me; otherwise, they will be in great danger!”
Luo Ya'ao Lique then waved his hand, and the subordinates promptly lowered their guns. After all, Baskeks Kai knew that this Chinese man was no ordinary person, given what Luo Ya had been doing in the US.
“Sir, this is not the place to talk. Please, come with us somewhere else to discuss.”
Luo Ya'ao Lique was very curious about this Chinese man who could kill Belt, especially his mention of cooperation, which piqued the curiosity of him and Baskeks Kai as to what Wan Yunting intended to do.
Wan Yunting nodded with a smile, “It would be best if we could have a drink.”
Baskeks Kai smiled and, with Luo Ya'ao Lique, led him away from Gonzales’s room and back to the conference room where they had been discussing matters. More than twenty guards, holding guns, also entered the conference room, standing behind Luo Ya'ao Lique and Baskeks Kai respectively, their eyes vigilantly fixed on Wan Yunting, who sat in the center of the conference table. This made Wan Yunting smile.
A maid brought over a bottle of red wine and a glass. Wan Yunting had her place it on the table. He personally picked up the red wine, examined it, and smiled, “Romanee-Conti, a fine wine…”
Luo Ya'ao Lique and Baskeks Kai, seated at opposite ends of the conference table, watched him. Wan Yunting’s expression was calm and composed. He naturally poured himself a glass of red wine, then, pretending to be knowledgeable about wine, brought it to his nose to sniff, before taking a small sip. He glanced at the two leaders of the Luo Ya and Bas drug cartels on either side, then smiled and set down the wine glass, saying, “Gentlemen, I truly am not here to kill you. There’s no need to be so tense!”
Luo Ya'ao Lique and Baskeks Kai exchanged glances, and then asked, “What should we call you, sir?”
Wan Yunting smiled and said, “You can just call me Wan.”
“Wan.”
Luo Ya'ao Lique looked at him and said, “I’d like to know, I didn’t give you an invitation to tonight’s party. How did you get in?”
Wan Yunting waved his hand at him and smiled, “None of that is important. I came tonight to talk about cooperation!”
Baskeks Kai leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed, his deep blue eyes fixed on Wan Yunting. He smiled very gentlemanly and said, “You can tell us, what do you want to cooperate with us on?”
Wan Yunting turned his head and glanced at him, then smiled, “Naturally, it’s cooperation to deal with the Dragon Gang!”
Luo Ya'ao Lique and Baskeks Kai exchanged a subtle glance. Although they didn’t know why Belt had captured the man named Jiang Wenhao, nor what grievances this Chinese man named Wan had with the Dragon Gang, they still asked curiously, “Can you tell us why?”
“You don’t need to worry about that.”
Wan Yunting also crossed his legs, waved his hands at them again, and smiled, “All you need to do is answer me: are you willing to join forces to eliminate the Dragon Gang!”
“As far as I know, ever since the Dragon Gang rose in Mexico, they have been encroaching on your drug markets, as well as your markets in the US, pushing you into a difficult position. So, I believe you also want to eliminate the Dragon Gang, don’t you?”
Baskeks Kai smiled, his gaze fixed on Wan Yunting, and said, “You are correct. We indeed want to eliminate the Dragon Gang, but why should we cooperate with you?”
Luo Ya'ao Lique sneered and said, “I could even capture you and hand you over to Carol Quijin for an exchange of benefits. That might be even more secure for us!”
“Heh heh…”
This statement made Wan Yunting chuckle. With his head lowered, he said, “Regarding cooperating with you, I naturally have my bargaining chips!”
Then, Wan Yunting turned his head, his gaze sharp and direct on Luo Ya'ao Lique, and with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, he said, “And I advise you to dismiss that thought, otherwise it will be very dangerous for you!”
*Swish…*
Instantly, a row of guards behind Luo Ya'ao Lique raised their assault rifles and aimed them at Wan Yunting. He also smiled, “Chinese man, I admit you have some skill to kill Belt, but you are not enough to threaten me!”
“Is that so?”
Wan Yunting’s eyes narrowed, a playful smile appearing on his lips. His left hand, which had been gathering force, suddenly struck the ten-centimeter-thick wooden conference table before him.
*Bang!*
With a loud bang, Luo Ya'ao Lique and Baskeks Kai were startled to their feet. The guards behind them immediately aimed their guns at Wan Yunting…
But seeing the shocking sight of the wooden conference table being broken in half by Wan Yunting’s palm, everyone present couldn’t help but widen their eyes, looking at Wan Yunting, who was sitting steadily before them, still with his legs crossed, in disbelief.
As he delivered the palm strike, he also casually picked up his wine glass with his right hand, calmly swirling the vivid red liquid within. Looking at Luo Ya'ao Lique and Baskeks Kai, who stood up startled on either side, he smiled and said, “Do you still think I can’t threaten you now?”
Luo Ya'ao Lique’s expression changed slightly after reacting, and the way he and Baskeks Kai looked at Wan Yunting had indeed changed.
Wan Yunting’s demonstration of breaking the conference table had truly shocked Luo Ya'ao Lique and Baskeks Kai, who were ordinary people and didn’t understand martial arts. This was a scene they had only seen in movies, yet it was happening live before them. Therefore, these two major drug lords finally realized that this Chinese man before them was definitely not an ordinary person!
