Chapter 408 - 408: The 5 Horsemen Of Longgang City

The next day, Eric accompanied by Ren Jia in disguise, Cui Xie, and Cui La, together with those 4 underlings of Cui Xie left the Forest Villa towards the meeting points.

Since he had decided to take over the whole City, Eric decided to meet all the prominent figures at the same place, in order to save time and energy.

Furthermore, he was extremely confident in his offer and was sure that none of those guys would be able to refuse him.

Cui Xie and Cui La were looking at him strangely as he hugged Ren Jia's waist, and was leaning his head back as if he was in deep thinking.

The truth was that he could feel that he was speeding things by quite a bit, but he thought that this was the greatest chance to strike the iron while it was hot.

Furthermore, he wasn't the one that would actually face them, as he finally stood up and took a Bluetooth headphone and handed it over to Cui Xie.

Take this, and obey each and every word of mine later, otherwise, we will both be in extremely deep trouble. Well, you and your family are more than me though, so you better act smart!

"Huh!?"

"Don't 'huh' me! Do you think that those guys are going to trust and work with someone that they have never seen before in their life?

Wouldn't all their years living amidst traps, and deceptions be all for naught then?

Furthermore, I have no intention of showing my face in public, for personal reasons. So while I build the kingdom you will be the king to rule it! Are you clear!?"

The poor Cui Xie, everything had happened so fast that he was unable to understand what was going on, he felt like all this was a bit surreal.

"Are you clear!?"

"Huh~!? Yes!"

"Very well then, I am looking forward to your performance out there!"

But while Cui Xie was still a bit shocked from all this, his sister was able to recover from her shock faster, as she looked at Eric with a doubtful, and scary look as she asked,

"What are you planning to do with us, and this country? You aren't trying to make us betray the country and upstage some rebellion right?

Let me tell you if you do that, then you won't be able to stay alive either!"

Well, it wasn't like Eric couldn't understand what she meant by those words, as every country had a pandora's box in order to continue existing, but he had no intention of opening them.

Just like Japan had the Council of Five, then China must also have its own structures for these cases. Yet, why should he care about them, the S-day will take care of it naturally.

So, with his normal calm and natural look, and voice he said,

"I have no such plans whatsoever! I don't want to rule this country or this prefecture, I am here only for two things, resources, and lives.

Furthermore, this planet will really soon plunge into terror and chaos, and this planet would change entirely!"

"What do you mean?"

"Just what you heard, you must have already heard about the rumor spread from Japan right?"

"Are you saying that the rumor is real? That can't be right, it's just a rumor!"

"You can believe whatever you want!"

"Wait! Since you are saying this now, then does this mean that you are from the same Sect as that guy!?"

"I don't know what you are talking about, I think that we went far off-topic! Anyway, you don't have to worry about those stupid things, such as ruling or rebellion!"

While Eric didn't accept it in the open, his denial was good as accepting it, as more questions popped into the siblings' heads.

For some strange reason, Eric didn't seem like he was joking around or lying at this point, he seemed extremely serious.

Could it be?

Unfortunately, they didn't have the time to think about it more, as they suddenly heard the driver say,

"We are in proximity, we will arrive in 5 minutes!"

The moment that they heard that, both Eric and Ren Jia wore two black assassin outfits covering their whole bodies while wearing some other clothes on top of them.

In less than 3 minutes, both of them looked like assassin guards accompanying the siblings, rather than the ones leading the show.

Even when they got out of the car, the two of them came first to check the surroundings, then accompanied the siblings outside.

It was a deserted place in the forests, no one should be able to find this place easily, as none of them were simple figures. Not to mention that Cui Xie was supposedly dead at this moment.

There were 5 people attending this meeting besides the two siblings, as they were the Director of the Police, Secretary of Security, the Mayor, the head of the Weng family, and Gao Jixie.

In fact, there should have been only 4 people in the meeting, as Gao Jixie wasn't invited. After all, he was the direct opponent for the white world of Longgang City.

He was the businessman that lead the full circle business in Longgang City, and also the head of the chamber of commerce.

He was a visionary and unscrupulous businessman that would do anything for more money. There were words that he would even give his wife and daughter away to reach his goals.

But Eric knew that those were only rumors spread from those outside due to the greed and inability of those people to actually win against him in the business world.

This guy was a truly visionary man, a true businessman breed. While Cui La was a genius and a diamond in the rough, then this man was a 10 karat cut and polished diamond.

The Weng family was also the strongest family in the city, as they were the second richest force in the city.

While they didn't have Gao Jixie's money, they certainly had their own strength of people and resources, as they had their say in the City matters.

As for the remaining three, they were the leaders of the city, and despite their little frictions now and then they were still able to join forces against outsiders.

Until now, none of them actually considered Cui Xie in their level, as he was too green, and immature to enter their circle and take part in city matters.

But still, they couldn't help but come here tonight, as they wanted to have a look at what he was going to propose.

Well, in fact, they had an idea of what he might propose, and they didn't like their idea. So if Cui Xie truly proposed to deal with drugs in the city, they were going to get rid of him.

"Goodnight Gentlemen! I hope to not have impeded you from any important matter to gather you here!"

"Hmph~! Cui Xie if you are going to propose us to allow drugs in the city, then you might as well stop wasting our time!"

The first to act upon his thoughts was certainly the Director of Police, as someone that had the closes approach to it, he knew its consequences better than anyone.

His words seemed to have surprised Cui Xie for a moment, as he finally said with a calm tone,

"Director Cheng must be joking, there is no way I will ever propose something like that. As a matter of fact, I am planning on taking down the other two gangs that deal with it, when we are over here!

Drugs will not be allowed in this Longgang City!"

"Huh!? Then your proposal?"

"It's for something completely different!

I am sure that all of you have heard about those wondrous potions that have appeared recently in Japan, right?

Well, I have their formulae in my hands, and we can produce them whenever we reach a deal!"

"What!?"

None of them could believe Cui Xie's words, they all thought that he was joking, but under the eyes of everyone he put his hands in his pocket and brought out a little glass bottle.

Without wasting time, he quickly cut his hand, and then used the potion on top of his wound, which started closing at a visible rate.

This was concocted yesterday, and it's able to close almost all of the superficial wounds while having a little bit of effect on the internal ones.

You can witness its effect with your own eyes! This is what I am here to talk about!"

The five middle-aged, to old men, were looking at Cui Xie with startle, shock, and wonder as they were unable to control their faces and emotions right now.

Especially Gao Jixie, as a businessman he was probably the one that came the closest to understanding the potential of this potion.

He was also the one who had heard the most about these potions, and he had tried to get his hands on the formulae by hook or crook, but it was just impossible for him.

Yet, when he felt completely downtrodden, this kid comes in front of him with what he had been dreaming day and night lately. So, how could he not be shocked?

He had difficulties controlling his voice, and his emotions for some moments, before he finally asked,

"Is that the real deal?"

"What benefits would I get by lying about this thing. It is real, and I intend of sharing this with you, otherwise, I wouldn't have called you here!

I don't mind telling you that soon I might even get my hands in the improved version of this thing!"
