Fanatic!

Chapter 77 Too Rampant
The two entered the conference room, where Guan Laosan, Da Xiang, and Gao Lao were already there. Guan Laosan was talking to Gao Lao about women, with Da Xiang occasionally chiming in.

"You all won money, right? Nobody bet on Li Dongying, right?" Shark Nine asked with a smile as he went in.

"How could that be? We're all on the same side, of course we'll support you!" Guan Laosan said with a chuckle.

"Kid, you played well last night! When are you going to come play at my place?" Elephant turned his head and extended an invitation to Chen Wujun.

The elephant owns an underground boxing ring, which is his biggest business.

Wealthy people often go to his place to bet on boxing matches.

Those rich people... have no shortage of food and entertainment, but they lack this kind of bloody stuff that can directly stimulate their adrenaline.

Yesterday, Chen Wujun's playing style impressed the elephants and will surely attract many wealthy people.

Moreover, he wasn't afraid of everyone putting Chen Wujun down. Many wealthy people had new martial arts masters as bodyguards, and some even recruited experts from outside to fight.

Chen Wujun was genuinely tempted; the feeling of killing someone on the stage last night had made him very excited.

But thinking about it carefully, it really wasn't necessary; he had no shortage of opportunities to take action.

'I'm aiming to be a big shot, how could I spend my days fighting to the death in the ring?'

'The elephant clearly sees me as a punching bag.'

A surge of malice welled up in Chen Wujun's heart, and he said with a smirk, in a sarcastic tone:
"Is Brother Elephant so short-handed that he needs to find outside help to bolster his team?"

The implication is that the elephant's business is failing and it can no longer hold up.

Elephant glanced at Chen Wujun, then casually held up two fingers and said, "Kid, I'm giving you a chance because you fought well, fiercely and ruthlessly! Those rich people love to see this kind of thing. I'll give you this much for one match—two hundred thousand!"

Two hundred thousand for one game, five games would be one million.

But once he took the money, Chen Wujun truly became a thug.

Chen Wujun knew that he could go into the ring for territory, gang conflicts, or other reasons, but he couldn't go into the ring for this money.

“Junzi isn’t one of your henchmen. Besides, you have so many henchmen under you, one more won’t make a difference.” Shark Nine casually declined Elephant’s invitation.

After chatting for a while, the door was pushed open, and several henchmen came in first and stood to one side, followed by Master Xin.

"Junzi fought well yesterday, showing the might of Hetu and winning a lot of face." Xinye walked over to Chen Wujun, patted him on the shoulder, and praised him.

"Only with such fresh blood can HeTu grow and thrive."

"Thank you, Master Xin!" Chen Wujun said with a smile. Of course, he knew that Master Xin was only trying to win him over on the surface.

After finishing his speech, Lord Xin walked back to the head of the table and sat down.

"He Tu won this bet, and Li Dong will hand over the territory within three days. Shark Nine, you won the territory, so of course it's yours to handle."

“However, Li Dong suffered a great loss this time, especially Wen Long, who almost lost all his territory... You should also be careful.”

"Last time he ran fast enough that I couldn't kill him!" Shark Nine chuckled.

"It's good that you know what's going on; don't be careless." Master Xin dropped the matter, then said in a deep voice:

"In addition, the company has a debt to collect, with a principal of 3000 million. Those people from Paradise Bird are untrustworthy... They should have paid back the money three months ago, but they have been dragging their feet and there has been no movement until now. The principal and interest have exceeded 4300 million."

"Boss, I'm leaving this to you. The company just needs to get its principal back."

"We must get this debt back. If we don't, everyone will think that we, Hetu, are easy to bully."

When Chen Wujun left the welfare association, he was still thinking about the debt that Gao Lao had gone to collect.

If we can buy them all back, we can earn at least 1300 million, which is more profitable than doing business.

Unfortunately, I don't have that ability right now.

If this money were easy to collect, Master Xin wouldn't need to send Gao Lao to collect it.

Tall Guy has a group of ruthless thugs under his command who specialize in solving problems for people.

"Sister Shark Nine, who is Bird of Paradise?" Chen Wujun asked after leaving the welfare association.

"It is one of the three major gangs of the Luoyue people."

Upon hearing the name Luo Yue, Chen Wujun immediately understood.

The Luo Yue people look very similar to the Hua Yan people, but the Hua Yan people are quick-witted and hardworking. Even though they were suppressed by the foreigners, many of them became very wealthy.

The Luo Yue people have much less influence in society, but they are ruthless and have considerable influence in the gray areas.

"What are the other two of the three major gangs among the Luo Yue people?"

“Born to kill, known for extreme violence, murder, robbery, kidnapping and extortion; Luo Yue Gang, mainly engaged in robbery, theft and selling wolf drugs and No. 4 drugs; then there is the Bird of Paradise, mainly engaged in burglary, car theft and transporting No. 4 drugs and other contraband.”

"Don't think too much about it. Just take over the territory that Li Dongshu has taken over in the next few days."

After parting ways with Shark Nine, Chen Wujun returned to the gambling den.

"Brother Jun!" The henchmen rushed to greet him, their faces beaming with excitement.

Chen Wujun fought brilliantly yesterday, killing Yu Wei on stage. They'll have face when they go out.

"Ah Fei, there are fewer people in the place now." Chen Wujun's eyes swept around the gambling den.

“Recently, Li Dong’s venue has also been offering rebates, which has taken away a lot of our customers. Fortunately, the venue is now gaining popularity, and although some customers have been taken away, we still have quite a few left.”

Chen Wujun nodded thoughtfully.

Offering discounts is easy, and Li Dong can easily learn from it.

Gambling dens don't require much skill; it's all about the environment, location, and the popularity of the venue. The more popular the venue, the more gamblers are willing to come.

There's no rush to deal with this.

"These past few days, we've been sending out messages to recruit people. We need people who are brave and willing to fight. I'll give Cunbao a heads-up. You should go to the martial arts school area more often and see if there are any good prospects."

This martial arts school is Hetu Martial Arts School, and it is also Hetu's talent training base.

"In a little while, bring some people with me to Longgang Road to drive the people from Lidong away and also inform the merchants there that they will be replaced from now on."

A moment later, Chen Wujun led seven or eight people to Longgang Road and entered a strip club, startling the people from Lidong inside.

"The people who collate the map? What are you doing?"

"Of course we're kicking you out. This place no longer belongs to you. Are you planning to transfer your ownership if you stay here?" Chen Wujun pulled over a chair next to him, sat down, and crossed his legs.

"Three days, and the time isn't up yet, so you're already so eager to become the boss?" one of Li Dong's henchmen couldn't help but say.

"What are you saying? I'm the boss, after all. If I'm not, then who are you?" Chen Wujun scoffed.

"Just know it's three days, that's all. I mean three days, I'm a man of principle. But remember, everything here is mine now, so don't break anything... or I'll chase you all the way to your houses and demand it back! And with interest!"

“The guy who ruined my clothes last time… is he called Brother Hua, right? It was 5600 yuan. Now, more than four months have passed, and with the interest compounding, even if I give him half off, he still owes me 20,000 yuan. If he owes me even a penny less, I'll just treat it as interest.”

"It's no use talking to us like that. We're on Brother Fire Dragon's side! We'll give you the place in three days anyway."

"Since you put it that way, then I won't say any more." Chen Wujun chuckled as he got up and left with his men.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly shouted at the henchman next to him, "Ah!"

The group of people were so frightened that they shrank back.

Chen Wujun pointed at them, then threw his head back, laughed heartily, and left.

Several of Lee Tung's henchmen looked ashen-faced.

Too arrogant, too outrageous.

The group went to another gambling den, and after they came out, Chen Wujun gave instructions to Afei.

"Keep an eye on my shop. I want to get my things in perfect condition. Don't let them damage them."

"We need to compile a list of all the businesses here and notify them one by one."

On this half of the street, only one dance hall and one gambling den belong to Lee Tung; the rest are shops of all sizes.

Chen Wujun strolled around the street. The south side of this street leads to Longjin Street, while the north side leads out of the city wall and to Taizi Road West.

However, he only got the southern half... It's divided by an alley in the middle, and the northern side, which borders Prince Road West, is much more prosperous than the southern side.

After leaving things here to Afei, Chen Wujun checked the time and strolled home.

I glanced at Shufen's house as I passed by; it had been taken over by another family, but it was still run by a prostitute.

She is younger than Shufen's mother.

The room was lit by pink light, with a curtain partially drawn. An ordinary-looking woman stood in the doorway. When she saw Chen Wujun looking over, she immediately gave him a professional smile: "Handsome, wanna do something?"

Chen Wujun glanced at it and then went upstairs to go home.

“I brought back a piece of roasted meat from yesterday’s big feast, but you didn’t come back to eat it,” Huang Meizhen said as she saw him.

Yesterday was the birthday of Tin Hau (the goddess of the sea). The He Tu (a local organization) set up an altar at the Tin Hau Temple and held a large feast, with each household receiving a share.

Huang Meizhen was given a piece of roasted meat.

After she finished speaking, she smiled and said:
"Luckily I saved you a piece, otherwise your little brother would have eaten them all. Little one's growing, he eats a lot!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wujun's expression immediately softened.

"Okay."

Leaning against the doorway, watching Huang Meizhen busy cooking inside, Chen Wujun suddenly asked, "Mom, if we leave the village, where would you like to move to?"

“Where would we go if we left the walled city? This place is perfect! We know all the neighbors.” Huang Meizhen said without looking up.

She grew up and lived in the Walled City, and never thought about leaving it.

Moreover, Chen Hanliang can only practice dentistry in the Walled City. How would he live if he went to other places?

"Just saying! I'll definitely leave the stronghold if I have the chance in the future," Chen Wujun said with a smile.

“Houses outside are so expensive, and things are expensive too. If you become successful in the future, it would be a good thing for you to move out,” Huang Meizhen said.

After dinner, Chen Wujun returned to A Yue's place.

"I thought you'd be back early yesterday, so I prepared a late-night snack, but it was all left until this morning. I brought it to my dad and the others today," A-Yue said, relieved to see that Chen Wujun was unharmed.

She waited for a long time last night.

They even went to the dance hall to inquire and learned that Chen Wujun had won.

After having another meal, Chen Wujun went upstairs to his room, took out his notebook, and began to read through it page by page.

He has a bad memory and is afraid of forgetting.

Then cross out Yu Wei.
