Chapter 208: Puppies
Chapter 208: Puppies
In any world, strength often represents status and position.
Gao Jing displayed deep and unfathomable strength.
Hou Weidong’s attitude immediately changed from ordinary warmth to worship for an idol.
He almost hugged Gao Jing’s leg and shouted, “Brother Gao, take me to fly!”
This gave Gao Jing a good amount of high-level faith force.
To show his admiration, he ordered a lot more drinks, letting his girlfriend act as a waitress, and served Gao Jing with great care, drinking and chatting.
This ethnic Chinese from Malaysia came from a well-known family.
A hundred years earlier, when China faced disaster, his ancestors escaped the war and moved to Southeast Asia, settling and growing in Malaysia.
By now, it had passed down for four generations.
Although Hou Weidong was a main-line descendant.
He had an ordinary status in the large family, only living comfortably by relying on his mother’s love.
He spent most of his time on Hong Kong Island, so he could speak fluent Mandarin and Cantonese.
Hou Weidong was not a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fan, but a few of his friends were true enthusiasts, so he knew quite a bit about that world and had met many professional fighters.
“Brother Gao, you must be careful of Siam people playing dirty tricks.”
Although Hou Weidong believed Gao Jing could handle Valarino, he still warned: “They are not nice people.”
Gao Jing nodded: “Mm, I know.”
With absolute power, any sneaky plan is just a joke.
At his current strength level.
If he wanted to spend a little time, he alone could wipe out the entire Royal Star from top to bottom with no problem.
This great strength gave Gao Jing great confidence!
Naturally, he remembered Hou Weidong’s well-meant warning.
Hou Weidong was very excited.
He drank a lot of liquor, then yelled about taking Gao Jing to a more exciting bar to have fun.
There was more than one bar on the Royal Star, each with a different style and mood.
But Gao Jing gently said no.
After swapping contact details, Gao Jing said goodbye to Hou Weidong and Qianqian, and went back to his room.
Ding dong~
He was just about to take a shower when the doorbell rang.
Who was it?
Curiously, Gao Jing went to open the door and saw a polite middle-aged man standing there.
Behind him were two men in suits who looked like bodyguards.
“Hello, Mr. Gao Jing.”
The middle-aged man smiled: “I am Li Yihao, sorry to bother, can we talk for a bit?”
He offered a fine business card with both hands.
Gao Jing took the card and saw it showed the man as a director of Manggu Longtai Group.
Gao Jing had not heard of any Longtai Group.
But as they say, an uninvited guest comes with something bad; the man was probably not here for fun.
He put away the card: “Please come in.”
Gao Jing lived in a big luxury suite with a bedroom and a living room.
After Li Yihao sat down, Gao Jing asked directly: “Director Li, what do you need?”
“It’s like this.”
Li Yihao pushed his gold-framed glasses on his nose and smiled: “I come for Mr. Bancha.”
He waved, and the man in suit next to him at once gave him a check.
It was placed in front of Gao Jing.
“This is the promised fee for your appearance.”
Gao Jing picked up the check and tapped it softly; the numbers and signs were clear to see.
1 million US Dollars, correct.
Gao Jing nodded: “Thank you.”
Not bad; every little bit helps, and even those with money feel short.
“And more.”
Li Yihao pulled out another check from his chest and set it before Gao Jing: “This is the loss fee for your match with Valarino tomorrow night.”
Gao Jing’s eyes narrowed.
The number on the check was plainly 5 million.
5 million greenbacks!
Loss fee?
Gao Jing held the check and asked: “Director Li, what do you mean by this?”
“Mr. Gao, you are a smart person.”
Li Yihao said cheerfully: “I think you must get my meaning.”
Gao Jing understood: “You want me to lose to Valarino?”
Li Yihao smiled without speaking.
This middle-aged man clearly did not believe Gao Jing could refuse.
So he appeared fully confident!
Gao Jing chuckled.
He lightly shook the check.
That 5 million US Dollar check turned to a flame at once and crumbled to ash in Gao Jing’s hands!
The smile on Li Yihao’s face froze solid.
The two men in suits behind him stared hard at Gao Jing.
The room’s feeling turned tense all of a sudden!
After a while, Li Yihao asked firmly: “Mr. Gao, what do you mean by this?”
“Director Li, you are a smart person.”
Gao Jing said cheerfully: “I think you should get my meaning.”
The next second, he dropped his smile: “Don’t treat me like a fool!”
Gao Jing was sure.
The other side would not let him reach land to enjoy that money.
Going easy in the ring meant surely being beaten dead by Valarino!
Earlier, Hou Weidong had warned about Siam people playing dirty tricks.
Now it was all true!
Gao Jing not slapping his face then was already good self-control.
Li Yihao’s face looked awful, and he said nervously: “Mr. Gao, don’t forget, you are on the Royal Star, and this ship is on open sea now.”
The Longtai Group director felt shocked inside.
He could not see at all how Gao Jing burned that check.
It felt deep and very strange!
But Li Yihao acted tougher: “Think you about what might happen?”
“Who cares what happens?”
Gao Jing sneered: “I want to ask you, you must be of Chinese blood, right? Do you like being a dog for Siam people so much?”
Li Yihao’s face went green to red, with veins popping on his head.
The two men in suits got mad.
One guy put a hand inside his suit, his eyes fixed fiercely on Gao Jing.
Just waiting for Li Yihao’s word.
But Li Yihao did not answer for a while.
He clenched his teeth, sweat all over, eyes shifting from fright to worry to regret!
The men in suits glanced at each other.
They had no clue how much pressure Li Yihao felt.
It came from Gao Jing’s powerful force!
He felt he was like a wild dog—a skinny little puppy—daring and foolishly messing with a grown tiger, totally reckless.
After who knows how long, just before Li Yihao’s will broke.
The force from Gao Jing suddenly ended.
“Urgh.”
Li Yihao suddenly felt saved, almost dropping weak to the floor.
With his last bit of strength, he grabbed the arm of the man in suit near him, and rasped: “Let’s go.”
The two men in suits quickly helped Li Yihao and rushed away from Gao Jing’s room.
Trash!
Gao Jing shook his head in scorn.
First he planned to just mess around tomorrow night.
Now Gao Jing changed his mind.
He was going to play for real!
