Chapter 206: Fair Manner

The convention was a special programmed design by the government to find creative people and research. In this convention, many investors would then offer to fund the research or perhaps buy the research itself and developed it into something more useful for the country.

The convention was a three-day event that would be held in the Long City's convention center. In these three days, everyone would be allowed to present their projects and answer some questions from the investors. 

Usually, the people who joined the convention would be start-up companies, and sometimes college students who created something and was planning to sell it to prominent research companies or wanted to attract the attention of investors for their own company. 

However, today, the convention was a little bit special. It was because of a certain person who actually announced that they would present a bullet that could rival the Long Family's melting bullet— the new name that Long Yi personally named the bullet that Lyca made. The news attracted a lot of attention from everyone who wanted to become the next Long Family. At first, they thought it could be something that students made.

But they soon realized that this person was actually Tang Xi— an illegitimate member of the Tang Family! Surely, this is not some fake news, right?

"Tang Xi, grew up abroad and traveled all the time. The man likes women and killing people— basically, killing is his business. Years ago, he was rumored to have a killed a whole Gang in Kong City. There were also rumors of him stealing a lot of diamonds and gold from a museum. Of course, these were all rumors. The authorities couldn't prove anything. So he just kept traveling and killing people."

"So, his identity was solid?" Long Yi asked the man wearing a purple suit. This was no other than Young Master Xie Jun, the person who went to Long Founding School of Elites with Long Yi. Right now, he was working as one of the executives in the Xie Family and was also closely working with Long Yi.

"My research had always been perfect. I can assure you this man is not connected to that Lyca in any way."

"Jun… it's always better to be safe." Zhang Zhi said as he sat in his wheelchair. He gritted his teeth and didn't hide the anger in his eyes. "That woman actually sent explosives to the Zhang mansion! Elder brother is thinking that she would also target this convention. We should be very careful."

"How was Uncle Zhang? I heard the explosion burnt almost half of the mansion?" Xie Jun asked. "And you are so sure that it was her? How could she blow up a mansion in less than ten minutes? You sure it's not an enemy? Perhaps another family that hated the Zhangs?"

"The only person who hated us so much to blow our mansion is that woman." Zhang Zhi uttered. "Father… was pretty angry but the blood that we received seemed to vanished with the fire. We haven't really gotten any solid evidence of the kinds of chemicals that were used in the explosion. We aren't sure why it exploded when we used a fire extinguisher too. Because of the lack of evidence, the authorities labeled it as an accident— a f*cking fire accident. Useless piece of sh*t!"

"Zhi… calm down." Long Yi said in a calm voice. He had been aware that the accident that made Zhang Zhi unable to walk again seemed to mess up his attitude. "She won't have the guts to show up in the convention. However, we have already alerted the authorities about her possible attack. They agreed to add more military personnel in the area to keep everyone safe."

"Then… that is good. Now for that Tang Xi. Do we have a plan? Are we going to kill him and stole the formula?" Xie Jun smiled.

"Of course not! We are going to buy it. Make sure that everyone knows that we obtained the formula."

Xie Jun squinted. "So we are buying it? I mean… we could always kill the guy?"

"He is from the Tang Family. Right now, the Tang Family is not doing anything against the Longs, but they are considered one of the most influential families in this region. We don't really know if they are planning something. Moreover, they are related to Lyca." Long Yi said.

"Hey, Jun are you sure this man is not Lyca's contact? Maybe an ally?" Zhang Zhi asked.

"I am sure. This man is dangerous and would rather work alone than work with other people. The only reason why he got this research was that he got ahold of the researcher before he could sell it to other people." Xie Jun scoffed. "Tang Xi must have threatened the poor guy to work for him.

"I think we should just go. The convention is about to start. Remember… the bullet is important to the Long Company. We need to obtain it using legal ways, after all, everyone is watching this bullet. We can't just take it from them." Long Yi uttered. 

The only reason why Long Yi wanted everyone to see that they bought it fair and square is because he doesn't want to embarrass his own family name. First, Long Yi knew that many people are watching the bullet now. Many businessmen and companies are eying Tang Xi as they wanted to buy the formula from him. 

If Long Yi would just kill him, people would think that the Long Family were bullies and someone that would use their power to achieve their goals. So, as much as possible, Long Yi wanted to show everyone that they could obtain this bullet in a fair manner. He wanted to show off not only his skills as a businessman, and prove that he was worthy of becoming the next Patriarch of the Long Family.

Everyone will see him offer a price, he would try and bid to obtain the formula and create a good impression to everyone. Long Yi straightened his suit before walking out of the VIP room on the second floor of the huge convention center. Just like him, many businessmen chose to stay in this area to talk about their plan and talk about the projects that caught their attention.

After leaving the second floor, Long Yi immediately walked towards the area where Tang Xi and the researcher who made the formula should be found. With Xie Jun and Zhang Zhi, Long Yi walked towards Tang Xi, a smile plastered on their faces.

"Good Morning." Long Yi said as he met Tang Xi's gaze. "I am Long Yi, the vice-chairman of Long — "

"Not interested." Tang Xi uttered coldly before Long Yi could end his introduction.
