  "Mr. David, allow me to introduce this Mr. Zhang, who is from China and, like myself, a legitimate businessman."

  Yi Chen smiled and introduced Mr. Zhang to David, who stood up and bowed slightly, saying in a warm and standard London accent: "Nice to meet you, Mr. David. Perhaps you have some impression of me before, in the circle, someone calls me 'wandering soul', the name sounds unpleasant, but I'm proud of it... Even your current boss M doesn't know my true identity. I'm just a small secretary at an embassy, or a military officer, that kind of person."

  David Zhang's mouth was agape, stuttering and unable to speak, looking at the smiling Yi Chen. David retreated repeatedly, his whole body trembling: "No, no, no, Yi, dear, you can't do this... I can betray my conscience, but you can't force me to betray my country... God, how far do you want to harm me? Heaven, don't, I beg of you."

  Mr. Zhang slightly shook his head, with a playful smile in his eyes, watching as David trembled and fell to the ground on his knees.

  Yi Chen walked over, gently stroking David's head, and said softly: "Dear David, you see, I didn't force you to do anything... Mr. Zhang is a friend, just a friend, dear, you shouldn't be like this, it's really shameful... Don't worry, I won't let you be in danger, I swear on the name of God, I definitely won't betray you or do anything harmful to you... Hmm?"

  David shook his head repeatedly, staring at Mr. Zhang with a terrified gaze, big drops of sweat dripping down, trembling lips saying: "Oh God, please, don't let this man take control of me, he's the devil... I know, nine high-ranking spies fell into his hands, they were all bought out and then ruthlessly sold out, please, no, no."

  "Good Lord, you're as jumpy as a little girl who's about to be sold into slavery. Calm down, Mr. Zhang said you'd be an exception, he won't betray you... Those damned spies, they can't be the head of European affairs, can they? Your position dictates that you'll be more important than them."

  David shook his head desperately: "No, no, Yi, whatever you want me to do is fine, but I won't have anything to do with him, no... oh God."

  Yi Chen grasped David's neck with one hand, lifted him up with the other, and said coldly: "Alright, you have one minute to think about it. You know my temper, I don't like idle chatter. Either you cooperate fully with me according to my demands, or your neck will be visited by a force of 100 kilograms in one minute. I'm very confident in my arm strength... A normal person would probably die after holding on for just one minute."

  David's eyes bulged out, his desperate gaze looked up at the sky, a tear rolled down, and he wailed: "Forget it, God, you devil, I promise you, I promise you... Anyway, I've already sold my soul by cooperating with you, selling it once more doesn't matter, I promise, but 'Wandering Soul' must guarantee my family's safety... God, why did you two collude? Have you abandoned England?"

  Mr. Zhang smiled: "Mr. David, you don't have to say that, it sounds like I'm a very terrifying person, I'm just like you, but in a government agency, making a living, but I didn't expect my reputation to be so bad... From now on, I'll pay attention to improving myself, starting with you. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything for your family, nothing will happen to them."

  Mr. Zhang looked at Yichun with some excitement, Yichun threw David onto the sofa with one hand, tidied up his clothes and smiled: "Zhang, I've fulfilled my promise, Mr. David is all yours from head to toe... Of course, since you agreed to our cooperation, you shouldn't mind me occasionally working David a bit, should you?"

  Mr. Zhang nodded: "Of course, Mr. David is our common friend, helping friends is a matter of course, as a gentleman, Mr. David would not refuse his friend's request."

  "Alright, I still have some things to take care of. You all go ahead and take care of yourselves, no need to see me off... Yi Yang, you all take care of yourselves too. The heavens have no bounds, the heart of the heavens is unfathomable, don't force it, everything will follow its natural course... Remember? Don't let any thoughts cloud your judgment. If fate allows it, we'll meet again. But you two don't belong in this world, take care of yourselves and don't get too deeply embroiled... Once the junior brothers arrive to take over, you can return to Tian Xing Sect. The three thousand worlds of the mundane realm are not suitable for children as clever as you."

  Yi Yang and the other two people shuddered all over, and shouted in unison: "Shixiong!"

  Yi Chen smiled and made a strange face: "Hmph, rest assured, now only Shixiong can bully people, others want to bully Shixiong is not so easy. Be careful... Zhang, remember, if my three Shidi have any bad places, be careful I will draw my sword and directly kill into the embassy."

  Mr. Zhang smiled: "Don't worry, this time if it wasn't for these hot military goods, we wouldn't have thought of borrowing Yi Yang and others from the Security Department... Since you've taken those things, we're naturally happy to be idle."

  Yi Chen nodded, and with a slight bow to Yi Yang and the others, he strode out with Jester and Ferri.

  As he drove out of the villa in the suburbs, Philgor sped over. Phil rolled down the window and shook his head helplessly at Yidun, saying: "Boss, it's impossible to find a warehouse to store this batch of goods... This is their Ministry of National Defense's regular business, our relationship doesn't even dare to take the goods."

  Yi Chen furrowed his brow: "Damn it, did you find out who bought those arms?"

  Phil nodded: "No, the news is very tight. It seems that it was a secret agreement reached by the British Ministry of National Defense. We found several connections and none of them knew about this matter. Zhang's methods are also quite impressive, they can even get wind of such information."

  "Alright, what about those relationships?"

  Gao Er smiled and made a slashing motion at his own neck: "They didn't dare to take the goods, so we had no choice but to clean up. Boss, nobody can leak any information now."

  Yi Chen hugged Feili, walking towards the car they came in, and turned back to Jester: "You go tell Kain to get ready for work. Philgo returns home to tidy up, our current firearms should be enough for 300 people to use, prepare to intercept goods halfway. Hmm, it's best not to let them set sail, we'll block them directly at the dock."

  Phil gave a thumbs up: "Liverpool?"

  Yi Chen smiled: "Liverpool... yes, Liverpool... dear, I and Feili are going to find a place to store those treasures. I think they have developed for so long, it's impossible that they don't have such ability?"

  Yi Chen started the car, Feili leaned on his shoulder and asked inexplicably: "Boss, the British will definitely dispatch troops to escort this batch of military supplies. We are just over 300 special soldiers. Can we move?"

  Yi Chen leaned in and kissed her: "Good girl, don't forget about us... If all else fails, just take matters into your own hands. Hehe, this deal must have some shady aspects to it, the British wouldn't mobilize a large military force to escort it otherwise. Hmph, can 'Black Magic' really not handle them? If so, then Cain should just drive his tank into a building himself."

  Fiona thought for a moment: "Go find those Chinese people?"

  Yi Chen drove away with a smile, saying: "Smart, that's them. They've developed for so long, they must have their own power network, I think they'll help me out with this. According to what they said, we're all Chinese, we should help each other out a bit. Although I'm from the underworld, they aren't some kind of social welfare organization either."

  Fēi lì tuō le yī xià shé tou: "nà ge sǐ lǎo tóu zǐ hǎo xiōng a, zhēn xiǎng bǎ tā fēng zài bīng kuài lǐ .....hēng."

  Translation:

  Feili stuck out her tongue: "That old man is so fierce, really want to seal him in an ice block.....Hmph."

  Yi Chen smiled silently and began to consider what words would move Tang Biao's heart.

  The meeting ended without results, Tang Biao furrowed his brow and thought for half a day before picking up the teacup to see off the guests: "This kind of thing, we still need to carefully discuss it again. After all, you are going against the British government, it's not easy for us to take on too much risk. It wasn't easy for Longmen to develop to where it is today."

  Yi Chen stood up and bid farewell without saying a word. Tang Hu sent him to the entrance of Song He Lou, where Yi Chen suddenly grabbed his hand: "Young man, remember, only those who can flip the ocean and make waves are truly dragons... Those who hide safely at the bottom of the water can only be considered a big water snake. Think about it yourself."

  Tang Hu's expression changed slightly, and Yi Chen smiled: "Consider it my temptation... That batch of self-propelled guns, we'll split the profit equally... Hehe, Longmen has such great power, why not come out openly? If you don't know the price of self-propelled guns, you can look up some information. This batch is the most advanced in Europe."

  Yi Chen looked at Tang Hu with a deep meaning in his eyes and then walked away with Fei Li.

  Tang Hu stopped for five seconds at the entrance of Song He Lou, then turned around and walked back.

  Deng Yichen and Fei Li returned to Chinatown, Phil furrowed his brow and handed over two slips: "Boss, they're crazy, these people are all crazy. Take a look, the one who wants to take down Shan Kou Mu, they've added another price tag. And there's another commission, my god, it's really crazy, don't these wealthy young masters know that money is hard to earn? In the past, we'd only charge a few million for taking out one person, this time it's two consecutive big deals worth over 100 million each."

  Yi Chen took the first order, whistled: "Approved... The shipment of military supplies won't be transported until two months later. We can play with Shan Kou's group for now... What a pity, they are still our allies. Hmm, Feili, what's the second commission?"

  Fiona furrowed her brow: "What's with this 'only member of the Holy Land family'? Does he think he's King Solomon or something?"

  Solomon King? Is he rich or something? Look, damn God, what kind of people are your followers... The target is the second daughter of the Paris-based Dail family, Eleana... Hmm, I'll make her fall in love with someone and then heartlessly dump her, and humiliate the entire Dail family in front of the whole world. What does the Dail family do? I don't want to offend someone who can't be messed with.

  Phil handed over a thick file: "They, big shots in politics and economics, have had eleven politicians in their family, now still control some lucrative businesses in Paris, with prestige, status, good social reputation... This little Saint Laurent seems to be pursuing others after failure, loves to hate... Boss, take this commission?"

  "Wait, let me think... We've had too many things going on lately, if we stir up another one, it's hard for people in the world to ignore us... But should we give up? Such a large sum of money, why let it slip away? This kid is a spendthrift, we can make good use of him... Yes, make good use of him. Hmm, if we can get the money safely and without anyone knowing it's related to us, it's best if we don't take action personally."

  Take a look at the subordinates around him, Yi Chen estimated: "If he completes this task personally, there is no problem, but it's not worth taking the risk of being stabbed to death by Phil in the middle of the night; Phil and Gole? Forget it, they have style, but the noble lady won't look at two black devils; Jester? Oh my god, the scar on his face can make female animals from infants to old women feel disgusted; Kane? Damn him, he will shoot that Allenza with one shot.

  "Alas, all of my subordinates are violent thugs, not a single one can help me with this delicate task... Wait..."

  Yi Chen's strange smile appeared: "You think, if let Chekhov complete this task..."

  "Jester said mercilessly: 'If that snotty kid can chase after Allen, then Satan can make God yield and let the Virgin Mary be his mistress... Boss, how is that possible? You'd better take care of it yourself, anyway you're just a standard pretty boy.'"

  The temperature in the room suddenly dropped, and the howling ice crystals mixed with the biting cold wind rolled towards Jester. Jester let out a miserable cry: "I didn't mean to say that..." Before he could react, he was hit by Filia's full-strength attack, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and then was wrapped in an ice pillar and rolled away with a rumbling sound.

  Fiona gazed at Yichun with an ethereal aura, a faint white glow flickering in her eyes. Yichun hastily raised his hand in a throwing motion: "Baby, I've already got someone lined up... Fiona, take a look and see if our Mr. Jester is dead yet; if not, smash open the ice block and get him out... Oh dear lord, Fiona, you're using too much force... Jester, poor Jester."

  The icicle cracked open with a loud crash, Jester shuddered and walked out, never daring to joke again, sitting far away, Phil sympathetically handed him a cup of hot wine.

  "Phil, get in touch with Earl Whitechapel. I want to see him in the drawing room this afternoon."

  Phil and others were stunned, Phil thought for a moment: "Not bad, this guy was born to do this..."

  Deeply honored, Blanche White curtsied her way into the living room, extravagantly expressing a long string of grateful praise in French.

  Yi Chen cut off his nonsense and said bluntly, "Forget it, I don't understand French. Apart from the dialect of a certain province in China, I only speak English, sir... Please sit down, I don't want to waste words. I'll try my best to give you 'Mountain of Light' as soon as possible. Of course, in return, you have to do some wonderful things for me... Fei Li, go upstairs now, it's time for us big men to discuss."

  Seeing a group of men with ill intentions smiling around her, Fei Li spat and kicked the sofa in front of her flying, and reluctantly went upstairs.

  Jester said in a low voice: "This terrible mother dragon is gone, damn God, you finally did something good... That's all."

  Bai Jiatu looked at Yicun with a bewildered expression: "Of course, no problem, what do you want me to do... You tell me, I won't have any opinions. You help us, we naturally want to help you, besides, didn't we agree on that? We are allies, and allies should help each other."

  Yi Chen threw the letter of attorney over: "Take a look, it's a very elegant entrustment... Your task is to chase after Miss Ailunsha, then ***, record the video; conclude the marriage contract and abandon her at the engagement ceremony. Any reason will do... I'll be responsible for finding some well-known media to broadcast the engagement ceremony of the Daili family's young lady live."

  "This is asking me to sell out my character, my dignity, my body... No, absolutely not..."

  "Then, 'Mountain of Light' is gone... Similarly, the $10 million that was supposed to be given to you after this commission is also gone."

  "What?" Bai Jiade suddenly jumped up:

  Yi Chen smiled: "'Mountain of Light'... It's gone..."

  Bai Jiade smiled: "No, the one after that..."

  Yi Chen's expression changed to one of sudden realization: "Oh... that $10 million? That's just a fifth of the payment, they offered $50 million as compensation. But if you want to keep your dignity, we'll find someone else. A refined and elegant young nobleman who speaks fluent French and is knowledgeable about art appreciation. Such a person may be hard to find, but I'm sure we can."

  "No, Mr. E... My dignity is important, but $10 million is more important... So I'm the elegant, fluent French-speaking, art-connoisseur noble young man you need... I'll take this task."

  Yi Chen smiled, a sinister smile. Bai Jia De also smiled, a shameless smile: "Being able to become the protagonist of an adult film that spreads all over the world, I don't mind... Of course, I can't expose my face, I still need to do our proper business."

  "Of course, of course, don't worry about a thing. The other party has provided a sum that will allow you to live the most luxurious life in Paris, enough for you to show off like, well, a prince of the British Empire... What more do you need?"

  Bai Jiade snapped his fingers: "Then give me two million US dollars... now."

  Yi Chen tilted his head and asked him: "Why?"

  "Documents, passport, papers to prove my identity... I should become a marquis of some ancient family, so there's no risk afterwards... Two hundred thousand dollars, I know several excellent experts who can make these things... If you need them, I can give you a 95% discount."

  Cain waved his handgun: "No, no need, ID? If we destroy the agency that checks IDs, we won't need IDs."

  Yi Chen smiled: "Baron, Kayne is a rough man, don't mind him... So, I'll give you three months at most... Alright? With your means, pursuing a lady, giving you three months would be an insult to your intelligence. In fact, one month would be enough."

  "Of course... Oh, miss, would you do me the honor of dancing with me? ... Ha! I need a luxurious mansion on Champs-élysées... Any problem?"

  "No, no problem, I can also provide you with ten high-end sports cars, a batch of elite bodyguards, absolutely elite, and all the luxurious things you need..."

  Phil had already begun to calculate in his heart: "This kid takes a 10 million yuan fee, but I hope he doesn't waste 1 billion US dollars in just one month. If that's the case, I'll squeeze oil out of his bones to compensate us."

  At this moment, Chekhov was in Tokyo and had the most bizarre experience of his life.
