Fanatic!

Chapter 40 Gambling War
Chen Wujun changed his clothes in the alley and hadn't gone far with the bag when his phone rang.

"Hey, Sister Shark Nine?"

"Junzi, wait for me downstairs at the Jindi Finance Building at 8:30 tomorrow morning. We're going to see Xinye."

"Sister Shark, what was the outcome of Master Xin's talks with Li Dong?" Chen Wujun asked.

"I don't know, let's see what he says tomorrow," said Shark Nine.

"I'll be there at 8:30 tomorrow morning!" After hanging up the phone, Chen Wujun picked up the bag and went straight home. He threw the bag into the closet and went to the gambling den.

These days, the gambling dens are closed, so the henchmen stay inside, playing cards or dominoes.

Several henchmen playing Pai Gow turned their heads, glanced at him, and stood up, saying, "Brother Jun!"

"You guys can do whatever you want!"

Chen Wujun stayed until 10:30 p.m. before returning home. After closing the door, he took out the bag and dumped its contents onto the bed.

Then the inventory was taken.

"71200 in cash, more than I expected. I don't know how much these watches and jewelry are worth. I'll have to find a place to sell them outside the walled city. But there's no rush. We can sell them in a few days."

"Indeed, no one gets rich without windfall gains; as long as you're bold enough, you can make money!"

"I have enough crystals for more than two months, so I'm much more financially secure. With two months, I can improve my strength considerably."

"And there's also the territory we seized this time..."

Although Shark Nine has not yet been rewarded for his contributions, Chen Wujun believes that he will definitely reap some rewards and have a long-term source of income.

Even if there is a shortfall in the short term, it is unlikely to be too large.

Chen Wujun was in a great mood. He could see the footprints he had made step by step over the past few months and also glimpse a little bit of the future.

Everything was going in the direction he hoped for.

After carefully putting the money away and putting it back in the cabinet, Chen Wujun changed his clothes and went up to the rooftop to practice his martial arts.

The only thing he never missed every day was practicing martial arts.

This is his foundation.

……

The next morning, he dressed neatly and went to the martial arts school to greet Senior Brother Li.

Then they met up with Shark Nine and left the walled city, where a black sedan was waiting for them.

After Chen Wujun got into the car, he unconsciously twisted his body slightly.

This car was more comfortable than any car he had ever ridden in before, and the interior space was enormous.

Shark Nine opened the refrigerator in front of him, took out two bottles of water, and threw one to Chen Wujun.

"This car even has a refrigerator?" Chen Wujun asked in surprise.

"A luxury car! Do you know how much this car costs?" Shark Nine laughed.

"One and a half million!"

"One and a half million?" Chen Wujun looked completely bewildered upon hearing this.

I didn't expect this car to be so expensive.

“It’s a grey market car. It would normally cost 1.5 million, but I paid 800,000 for this one!” Shark Nine explained with a smile, “If you want to buy a car in the future, just tell me and I’ll tell you where to buy it.”

"Great!" Chen Wujun was initially very happy to have robbed 70,000 yuan, but now he suddenly felt that it was just a very small amount of money.

"Sister Shark, does Master Xin not live in the walled city?" Chen Wujun asked curiously as the car drove further and further away from the walled city.

“I don’t even want to stay in that walled city! Master Xin is too old for that. Why would he be there? Even though he has fallen from the magnetic field level, he’s not someone that just anyone can mess with. He usually lives in his villa on Jiudu Mountain,” Shark Nine explained.

Jiudushan is located in Liyuan, a newly developed town. It took almost an hour to drive there.

This is a quiet mountain forest, with villas peeking out from among the mountains and trees.

"The air here is so fresh!" Chen Wujun sniffed.

The air quality in the Walled City was the worst, constantly filled with a foul odor, while other parts of the city were also filled with the smell of exhaust fumes.

This place was completely different; he felt that even the air here carried a sweet fragrance.

“You could buy an apartment here for 500 million, but it’s too far. Only those old guys like to live here,” Shark Nine laughed.

Chen Wujun was speechless.

For these wealthy people, several million is not a large sum.

Then, Chen Wujun was filled with boundless desires and ambitions.

He needs to work hard to improve his skills and make more money!
A moment later, the car arrived at the iron gate of a villa. The gate slowly opened, and the car drove in and stopped on the side.

Chen Wujun got out of the car and followed behind Shark Nine, looking around and finding everything he saw appealing.

The villa is surrounded by woods on both sides, where birds are constantly chirping, and there is also a garden inside the villa...

You can't even see birds inside the walled city.

He's just a country bumpkin.

Following Shark Nine to the backyard, they saw a swimming pool gleaming in the sunlight, where a woman with a hot figure wearing a bikini was swimming.

After glancing at it twice, Chen Wujun sat down with Shark Nine at the round table in the courtyard.

"Master Xin's granddaughter?"

“He’s keeping her!” Shark Nine said after glancing at her.

"When you have money, you can support a 19-year-old even when you're 90, as long as your body can handle it!"

Chen Wujun felt confident that he could handle it.

However, he's not that interested in women now, and he only visits A-Yue occasionally.

He's only interested in power and money.

A moment later, Master Xin, dressed in a Tang suit, came out of the villa and sat down opposite the two men. "Master Xin!" Chen Wujun stood up.

"Shark Nine's new name is Junzai, right? He looks good!" Xinye said with a smile.

What would you like to drink? Red wine?

"Drinking so early in the morning? Mineral water, give him a bottle of soda!" Shark Nine said to the servant who had followed him.

“You’ve really made a name for yourself lately, beating Wenlong so badly he doesn’t even dare to show his face,” Xinye said with a smile to Shajiu.

“I met Ma Dong for tea last night and we chatted for a while.”

"What he meant was that no matter how you look at it, this matter disrupted the order, especially since you also seized most of Wenlong's territory."

He proposed two solutions!

Just then, the maid brought over bottled water and soda, along with two cups, and poured them for the two of them.

After the servants left, Master Xin continued:

"First, we'll launch a full-scale war, and all five Dragon Generals will attack you!"

"Li Dong is so tough? Then let's fight!" Shark Nine sneered.

"Don't be so impulsive. If a full-scale war breaks out, Hetu will definitely support you. But the losses will be huge. It's hard to say what will happen to others, but your entire gang will definitely be wiped out!" Master Xin gestured with his hand.

"Your men have suffered quite a few casualties, haven't they? How much longer can you hold out?"

Shark Nine curled his lip.

These days of fighting have indeed caused her considerable losses, with more than 30 casualties, and a large sum of money has been spent on resettlement expenses.

But she doesn't care.

By seizing Wenlong's territory, her prestige and influence will increase significantly, and as long as she has territory, she can always earn it back later.

"The second plan is that Junzai is the cause of this whole thing. He has to fight Wenlong's men! If Junzai loses, you have to give up half of your territory. If Junzai wins, the territory is yours, and Lidong will give you half a street!" Xinye said, referring to Lidong's second plan.

"Are all the people at Lidong on drugs? They think I'll spit out what's in my mouth?" Shark Nine slammed his hand on the table and sneered.
"Junzi is my junior brother, and he's only been practicing boxing for half a year! I agree to let them find someone who's been practicing boxing for half a year to fight him!"

"No wonder you're so protective of him." Master Xin nodded.

“He’s my man. If I don’t protect him, who else should I protect?” Shark Nine said leisurely.

"I disagree with this."

“Shark Nine, it’s better to fight alone than to start a full-scale war! Otherwise, what will your men think if Li Dong leaks this information?” Xinye said slowly and deliberately.

"It's definitely impossible for Li Dong to find someone who has been training in boxing for half a year to fight him, but they can make demands, and so can we!"

"We can only select players from Wenlong's team, we can't find outside help, and the time can be postponed, for example, three months later."

"Junzi is not bad. He has practiced boxing for half a year and his skills have become quite good. His foundation is also solid. If we give him another three months, I think he can still fight!" Master Xin's gaze fell on Chen Wujun again.

"Junzi, do you have confidence?"

Shark Nine's face darkened.

Chen Wujun's mind raced; he realized that Lord Xin had put him on a pedestal.

But he couldn't keep quiet about this matter. Otherwise, if Li Dong spread the word, everyone would think that because he didn't dare to fight Wen Long's men, everyone would have to keep fighting and might get hacked to death in the street one day.

This will definitely cause a lot of people to be dissatisfied with me.

Many people are even dissatisfied with Shark Nine.

Wenlong doesn't hire any outside help. His strongest subordinates are all at the Resonance stage, and their strength is similar to that of Ahao and the others.

In three months... I might be able to fight myself.

If I lose, I might not even survive, but if I win... both my reputation and my profits will soar.

Although they had taken over Wenlong's territory these days, Ahao, Cunbao, and others had all contributed their time and effort.

Even if they eventually divide up their territory, it won't be much; they might not even get all four gambling dens.

But the stakes are different for this half-street.

At this moment, Chen Wujun felt no worry or fear, only ambition and a weighing of pros and cons.

Especially after seeing luxury cars and mansions, while I only get tens of thousands of yuan for a robbery.

Chen Wujun thought for a moment, analyzed the pros and cons, and then spoke:
"I'm fine with it, I'll listen to my senior sister."

After Chen Wujun finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the woman resting by the swimming pool, his heart filled with murderous intent.

He knew he had to agree, but it was Xinye who had put himself in this position.

To Xinye, he was just an ordinary bargaining chip.

Since we lack the strength and status to do so, there's naturally nothing to say.

If there is an opportunity in the future...

Xinye smiled and then looked at Shark Nine.

"Shark Nine, I still stand by what I said: it's better to fight alone than to start a full-scale war!"

Shark Nine said with a stern face:

"Junzi, have you thought this through?"

“I am confident!” Chen Wujun said.

“Junzi said it’s no problem, so I can agree. But it will take four months! Next year is the Queen of Heaven’s birthday, so let’s set the date for that day!” Shark Nine said.

"If Li Dong doesn't agree, then there's no point in talking! Let's just start fighting and see how many of those five worms are left!"

“Then I’ll invite Ma Dong for tea again. If they don’t agree, He Tu will fully support you!” Master Xin immediately made the decision.

……

As the two left the villa, Shark Nine's eyes were filled with ferocity, and he snorted angrily:
"That old man is really senile!"
