Chapter 131: Young Master Hai Seeks a Partnership

Coastal Villa District, Young Master Hai’s villa.

"Ah Kun, look, just look at He Tian’s methods and achievements! It truly makes one look at him with new eyes," Young Master Hai said with a chuckle. "The key is that he cleverly utilized the power of the Li family! I just wonder, is this a clever move on his part, or does he truly have a connection with the Li family?"

"Young Master, actually, that point is not important at all. Even if He Tian has connections with any other power, it is merely to ensure he can establish a firm foothold in the country," Ah Kun said with a slight smile.

"Well said... For someone who has had such extensive experiences abroad, if one wants to live a stable life domestically, one must inevitably follow certain domestic rules! And building good relationships with those in the upper echelons becomes very important!" Young Master Hai said with a smile. "If I were He Tian, I certainly wouldn't mind having more and tighter connections in this regard!"

"It seems you have made your decision, Young Master!" Ah Kun said with a smile.

"I must make a decision! This potential threat must be eradicated immediately!" Young Master Hai’s expression turned slightly gloomy.

Recently, Ah Kun had helped deal with some loose ends within the country; one could say that Young Master Hai had successfully detached himself from that particular line. However, the sensitive information held by that foreign organization still posed a significant threat to him. In this regard, Young Master Hai had to be cautious. He did not want to lose such a promising future because of this.

"I wonder if He Tian would be willing to cooperate with us in this area," Ah Kun said, sounding a bit uncertain.

"Didn't He Tian contact me specifically because he wanted to get detailed information about that organization? I believe he will be very interested! Have you noticed He Tian’s recent series of moves? His businesses are developing very rapidly; this is a sign that he intends to put down roots," Young Master Hai said with a smile. "Especially his business alliance with the Wang sisters. This further demonstrates how much He Tian values and cares for them! Therefore, He Tian will absolutely not let anyone who intends to harm the Wang sisters go unpunished! Especially given that he has the capability to do so!"

"Young Master, speaking of which, He Tian’s business development is truly rapid! Now that he has joined forces with Wang Xinmeng’s Mengrou Clothing Group, the entire business conglomerate is already far beyond the ten-billion mark! Perhaps we can cooperate with him on the business front in the future!" Ah Kun said with a smile. "For example, regarding our 4S dealerships—if we were to outsource our maintenance work to Tongda Auto Repair, that would be a great development for us and could save us a lot of funds!"

"That is already a proven model! I’ve said it before! It’s a huge waste of resources for every 4S dealership to run its own logistics and maintenance team! Sooner or later, such a market will be replaced by more professional repair companies," Young Master Hai said with a smile. "It’s just that previously, the entire Tianhai market was occupied by He Jiansheng, and others simply couldn't compete. We couldn't very well steal business from He Jiansheng, could we? Now, however, we can propose this as a foundation for further cooperation with He Tian! I believe he will be very interested! After all, with our participation, he could basically capture half of the 4S dealership maintenance market in Tianhai City!"

"That is a significant share! I believe He Tian will be very tempted!" Ah Kun said with a smile. "When someone wants to settle down, they inevitably have pursuits; as long as you grasp their needs, cooperation becomes very simple! Young Master, it seems I should hurry and contact He Tian."

"There is still no news from that side, is there?" Young Master Hai asked, looking at Ah Kun.

"Still nothing! They are likely trying to test us. However, although their influence in the country is not large, some of their informants are very well-hidden! I suspect they are already aware of our clean-up efforts here," Ah Kun said in a deep voice. "If that is the case and they still remain silent, it means they have three choices: first, use the power they hold to teach us a lesson, or even put you, Young Master, in danger; second, choose other partners and potentially sell our information in the process; or third, prepare to cut ties with us entirely and stop all contact."

"But based on their style... I suspect the third option is unlikely," Ah Kun said seriously. "They are an unconventional organization disguised as a hitman agency! They value this side of the business more than the assassination business itself! With the disappearance of a client like us, combined with all that has happened in between, they will certainly not just let it end there."

"Therefore, we should hurry and take the initiative... Seize this opportunity! Use He Tian’s strength to destroy them in one fell swoop!" Young Master Hai pondered. "What I am mainly worried about now is what kind of demands He Tian might make when we cooperate."

"Young Master... we are giving him the chance to associate with us! We are also giving him the chance to take revenge; would he really push his luck?" Ah Kun asked, somewhat surprised.

"You don't understand! The risks involved are immense! Our contributions are simply not proportional to the risks He Tian will have to bear! Besides... we are only guessing that He Tian has the intention to take revenge for the Wang sisters! But how strong is this intention? You must know, the intensity of that desire determines many things," Young Master Hai said, rubbing his temples. "Regardless, let’s invite He Tian over first! We must hurry, or we might miss the year-end car race!"

"Very well, Young Master, I will contact He Tian immediately!" Ah Kun nodded. He knew how important the year-end car race was to Young Master Hai. It could be said that this was a critical step in the development of the outer sect of the forces behind Young Master Hai.

He Tian, however, had not really thought about contacting Young Master Hai again. After resolving the trouble with He Jiansheng, He Tian’s life had become quite peaceful. Aside from showing a little concern for company business, He Tian had recently spent his time either cultivating or keeping Wukong company. Especially since Wukong had returned to normal and made up for its previous depletion, He Tian felt a great sense of accomplishment.

However, Young Master Hai’s sudden invitation took He Tian by surprise. On the way to the Coastal Villa District, He Tian kept wondering what Young Master Hai was thinking. With quite a while left before the end of the year, there was no need to be in such a hurry to discuss the car race.

"Chou! With your current strength, is it possible for you to infiltrate Young Master Hai’s villa silently?" He Tian asked with a smile, looking at Chou who was driving.

"I cannot do it! I am not yet at the level where I can completely avoid detection by a Fourth-Level Inner Strength expert," Chou replied.

"It seems that if I want to truly understand more, I must maintain contact with Young Master Hai," He Tian mused.

This was the first clue He Tian had found... and he did not want to give it up just like that! That person behind the scenes... could be considered an enemy of Dragon Soul! As a member of Dragon Soul, He Tian had an inescapable duty to investigate such an enemy.

The car entered Young Master Hai’s villa. This time, Young Master Hai and Ah Kun came out to welcome He Tian in person!

"Brother, how could I trouble you to come and greet me yourself?" He Tian got out of the car immediately, putting on an expression of being moved and slightly flattered.

"Hahaha, Brother He, do we still need to be so polite with each other?" Young Master Hai said with a smile. "Come, let’s go inside and talk!"

"After you, Brother!" He Tian said with a smile.

Chou and Ah Kun walked side by side, nodding to each other. Ah Kun was somewhat surprised. The person who had accompanied He Tian this time was not Chou! Yet, Ah Kun could still sense the strength of this individual. This further made Ah Kun realize the depth of the power around He Tian, making him even more certain and expectant about the partner Young Master Hai had chosen this time.

"Brother, you have done something extraordinary this time! He Jiansheng has suffered a crushing defeat! Now, the entire Tianhai circle knows your name!" Young Master Hai said with a smile.

The Tianhai circle was as big as it was small, and within the level of He Jiansheng, it was even smaller! The conflict between He Jiansheng and He Tian could not possibly have gone unnoticed. Therefore, He Tian’s name was indeed quite prominent outside now. Wealthy, and with government connections!

Unknowingly, He Tian had entered this circle and held a certain status... because everyone in Tianhai seemed to know that He Tian was very close to Young Master Hai!

"Brother, please don't tease me! You know this matter from beginning to end! I have always been in a position of passive defense! I don't want to provoke any trouble! But trouble keeps coming one after another; what can I do? I can't just ignore it and let others slap me in the face, can I?" He Tian said with a wry smile. "I really don't like being famous like this!"

"Hahaha, it was He Jiansheng who was blind! He couldn't see the current situation clearly! Look at him now! Still trying to show off! Isn't that just asking to be humiliated by others? However, you were quite ruthless! Taking down five people in one go over there!" Young Master Hai said with a hearty laugh.

"Self-defense! It was self-defense, Brother!" He Tian waved his hand. "Brother, you didn't call me here today just to talk about this, did you? Let’s change the subject!"

"Hahaha, you!" Young Master Hai pointed at He Tian, smiling warmly, and then said softly, "Since you’ve taken over He Jiansheng’s Tongda Auto Repair, what are your plans?"

"Brother, to tell you the truth... I don't have much interest in business, but I am very interested in money! So, I’ve hired people to run it!" He Tian said with a smile. "Why? Are you interested in this, Brother?"

"A gentleman does not take what others love! If you want to run Tongda Auto Repair properly, I actually have a business proposal for you," Young Master Hai said with a faint smile.
