Chapter 70: Wang Chao has been mistaken for as a spy

Wang Xiaolei, Wu Yingda and Zhao Jun. These three had family with powerful government connections and were all close friends from the mainland. Their power reached an unbelievable distance and combined, they had founded the Ike Corporation. In just a few years, they had eaten up the white and black markets to earn a profit.

The three had gotten involved with the criminal powers within both the Guangdong and Fujian provinces. This had forced the organization to temporarily pull out their spies so that the princelings would not discover them. Such a reaction from the organization was a testament of the princelings power.

These three princelings had also a strong political background and support that made them extremely influential.

Originally, Zhao Jun’s father had only been the governor of S province, but that power did not belong to his Zhao family. Instead, it belonged to Zhu Jia’s family. Combined with Cao Yi being appointed, Zhao Jun and his father had started to feel a little political pressure.

Although Zhao Jun’s connections were not limited to only his father, he also had several other cadets to fall back on. He also had several other minor governors in his web of connections so that not many people could go against him.

Zhao Jun had wished to stabilize his father’s position and be with Zhu Jia. Unfortunately, Zhu Jia had no interest in him at all, but fortunately with Wang Chao’s appearance, he could stomp on him like an ant.

Unfortunately for him, Wang Chao was not afraid of death and wasn’t as weak as he thought. What had put him even more on guard was the fact that Cao Yi, Zhang Tong, the mysterious villa, and his mysterious teacher were all connected. With this, Zhao Jun couldn’t help but feel as if there was a conspiracy.

So he had decided to completely investigate Wang Chao’s background. After a year, Zhao Jun had found out the connection between Cao Yi and him was quite ordinary while Zhang Tong held a special one. But his own independent research had proved to be fruitless on trying to find out how he had gotten the villa and who his master was.

With no other choice, he had invested in Tianxing Corporations. Although it was a domestic business, it had plenty of foreign stockholders. When it was still developing, he had personally signed his name on the stocks and gained a decent sum of profit from it.

Finding out the foreign stockholders had been a difficult task as well. Even Cao Yi had been unable to find out those foreign stockholders of the Ike Corporation until he had filled out a form for the organization.

Although the organization was extremely strong, the forms had to go through a series of examinations in a bureaucratic fashion. This style of work was ultimately slower than Zhao Jun’s personal connections.

After half a year of investigating, the fruition of their search was laid out right in front of the three princelings. As it stared at them, the three stared back in shock.

On the paper, the owner of the 18th villa of the Tianxing district was a person called “Tang Jin. Smith”.

The princelings were not shocked at the name, but rather what the name had signified.

“This Tang Jin. Smith” was a name for a nobody. But after closer investigation, the name bore some sort of connection to a major English company. Furthermore, this company was an unbelievably big one.

In direct comparison, any other foreign investor like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, the mafia, the Yamaguchi, the American godfathers, or even the many governments and organizations paled to this company.

The organization written on the paper was EMU. Translated, this organization stood for the European Monetary Union, or the EU for short.

The distributors of the Euro.

The EMU had many nations, governments, families, businesses, dark and white powers and many others connected to it to form one giant union. The organization was inconceivably large with so many people combined into one faction.

In the end, the princelings had followed the trail left behind only to end up looking leviathan-like organization.

The leader of this English company was a participant of the EMU.

The leaders of the western organizations were all wealthy people.

Although the princelings each held the two provinces by the coast in their hands, the Ike Corporation had only power within their own country. Compared to such a large organization like the EMU, they were like an upstart who had just won 5 million dollars at the lottery.

After reaching such a spot, the princelings’ research had gone on no more.

The three princelings were not looking into an American company, but rather a member of the EMU. If the other side were to discover this, then the outcome would not look good for them. t The EMU weren’t cowards either, meaning the princelings were afraid of doing anything to be found out by them.

“What we thought was a shrimp was actually a giant whale!”

Zhao Jun felt his head begin to hurt as he looked at the paper in front of him.

Wang Chao and the European Union. No matter how much Zhao Jun looked at it, they lived in two separate worlds. After investigating this, he could only give up his search.

In order to be able to find out a concrete relationship, then Zhao Jun would need to be the leader of a nation in order to have the power to fully investigate it.

But as the child of an official, Zhao Jun didn’t have that power. His goal had always been to rely on his connections to get rich. He would play with the underworld and take control of the situation for profit. But in the end, he was not made of the right material or had the guts or ambitions.

“Impossible, this is impossible! How could a small commoner be connected with the European Union? Is there a mistake, or is this world an illusion?”

Wang Xiaolei spoke out in shock after reading the information given to him.

The three princelings had only a sour look on their faces. They felt like street gang members who were beating up on a beggar only to find out that beggar was actually the relative of American president Bush.

“We can’t rule out this possibility, Wang Chao could possibly be a spy for the EU.” Wu Yingda spoke out in shock as he tried to calm himself down.

“Did you guys hear about what just happened in Guangdong? Xu Zhen’s disciple Qin Maojiao was killed in a competition I organized. That martial artist came from the Daxing Corporation, but that same night, the Daxing Corporation’s car factory was attacked by a group of mercenaries. They even used a rocket launcher to blow open the gates! I thought it was Xu Zhen at first, but Chen Aiyang came by to say that Xu Zhen hadn’t done anything and hope to help me look into it. I thought it was strange and immediately looked for the recordings of that fight. Take a look, this is a picture of the fighter.”

Wu Yinda called for a bodyguard to enter. Handing him a picture, Wu Yingda put down a picture of Wang Chao for everyone to see.

“Wang Chao! It’s him!” Zhao Jun’s eyes immediately shone with recognition at the sight of Wang Chao.

“That’s him? Then doesn’t everything make sense now? He is a spy for the EU and has the support of a giant backing. Otherwise, just how would he be able to employ a mercenary group to hide the trails under our noses?” Wu Yingda reasoned.

“Zhao, my friend. It seems that you’ve annoyed the wrong person!” Wang Xiaolei stretched his hands. “Your S province seems to be where all the dragons and tigers hide. Just by randomly pulling out a high school graduate, you’ve managed to find the spy to the number one organization in the world. This world’s already become one of those magical worlds you see in those fantasy novels.”

“This is China, even the American CIA can’t do anything to us!” Zhao Jun suddenly snarled.

“Even if you say that, we still have to be careful or else risk falling down by accident. We can’t continue looking into his identity either or risk being found out. We have to carefully count our steps from now on.” Wu Yingda spoke seriously.

“Do you understand what’s the global standing right now? With the United States fighting with us over Asia–especially in Southeastern Asia, there are blatant power struggles underneath the peace talks. At the very least, the underworld is affected mostly. But then the United States are fighting with the Europeans over Africa, and even China is a part of the conflict. Now that the European Union are joining the stage for Southeastern Asia, that means the world is a cauldron while we three are the tripods to it. How similar this is to the Three Kingdom’s era. We are a minor player on the world stage, if we aren’t careful, then we’ll find our powers usurped and our authority challenged.”

“Che, the situation isn’t as bad as you think it is!” Wang Xiaolei was a little upset at Wu Yingda’s ominous words.

They were princelings who were experienced and well verse in bureaucracy and the treachery that was commonplace in business. But in their sailboat to profit, they needed the great winds of fortune to race to the end. If they came across any trouble, then they would naturally be flustered.

“I’m only saying what the world is like now. When it comes to the concrete details, we are still superior for now. This competition is a good chance to probe out for information! Let’s watch Wang Chao as we are and see how he reacts! If he wants to act coy, then we’ll act coy with him too. If he wants to play hard, then we play hard. But still, Wang Chao, don’t beat the snake out of the grass for now. Don’t hire any men to deal with him and see how he reacts for now.” Wu Yingda spoke. “After all, our corporation has developed nicely, we need to focus on other matters and not just on him.”

“Yes. If he doesn’t move, I won’t move. That’s the best solution. Who would had known that instead of a snake coming out of the grass, it was actually a dragon?”

Zhao Jun felt as if he had came across bad luck.

Just at that moment, Wang Chao had entered Chaozhou.

He never would have thought that the princelings would have mistaken him to be the spy for the most vile organization of Capitalism.

Needless to say, the stars had aligned in order for Wang Chao to be given a mistaken identity by coincidence.

But Wang Chao was truly a prime and proper descendant of eight generations of peasant farmers.

To the princelings, Wang Chao wasn’t a supernatural entity, but he wasn’t nobody either. Otherwise, they would have known more about him.

In truth, the information the princelings had discovered was Tang Zichen’s information.

To Tang Zichen, Wang Chao had a longing that could not be squashed.

The date to the competition was growing closer and closer so Wang Chao had given up any distracting thoughts. For the rest of his time, he had dedicated himself to his martial arts.

His tiger and snake stance had already reached the stage where the sound follows the fist and could be considered to be at the level of a master. Furthermore, his lower back, chest and back were now capable of releasing Hidden Jin.

For the sake of being able to break out with Hidden Jin there, Wang Chao had worked hard.

In the hundred square meter room, there were several 300 kilogram sandbags hanging around the room with oiled fabric so that even a military knife would find it hard to cut into.

Boulder stood by the side as he watched Wang Chao’s movements with wide open eyes.

Hou! Wang Chao’s leg stamped onto the floor with his five fingers bent in the form of a tiger’s claw. His body bent down before furiously slamming into the sandbag.

Immediately, the sound of a tiger’s roar could be heard reverberating through the room–even Boulder could hear his bones echoing with the sound as if he was a kite and the roar was the wind.

If the clouds were the dragon, then the wind was the tiger.

When the tiger let out a roar within the mountains, its roar would shake the valleys with its loud sound and might.

Wang Chao stood within the sealed room. The hanging sandbags were like the trees adorning the mountain range; the scenery was complete with Wang Chao looking like the tiger.

Right now Wang Chao was emitting a powerful aura that even the soldiers felt was freakish.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang! Several seconds later, Wang Chao’s strikes were like lightning while batting the sandbags wildly. In the next moment, the sandbags had erupted with sand flying everywhere.

Wang Chao’s fists couldn’t even be called muscle anymore, an axe would have been more fitting of a description.

“In the past, I could only break out with Hidden Jin 8 times, but now I can do it 12 times. This is proof that my body has grown and that it has grown stronger in speed, power, and flexibility!”

In a split moment, he had split open 12 sandbags, but he wasn’t like the previous him. Despite his heavy breathing, his pores were still contracted and sweat couldn’t be seen. This was further proof that the energy he had used was just right.

“Amazing!”

“Tomorrow’s the fifth, the day of your competition. You better be careful, we don’t want to appear on the headlight of the princelings.” Boulder spoke.

The day of the competition was nearly upon them.
