Chapter 39: The Olive Branch Thrown Out Proactively

  Ying Tianlong informed Feng Aijun of the news that he had taken over "Whirlwind Camp" through radio, and Feng Aijun happily replied that he did a great job. Ying Tianlong thought it was time to formally contact Luo Guoyong now, as he already had enough chips in his hand.

  "The Whirlwind Camp" was very quiet, Li Jiao's death did not cause any disturbance, on the contrary, the order of the island was much better than before. The only change was that at night, Xi Mei's "Kiss Me" bar was crowded with people, many former prisoners had only heard about this place and came to experience it in person today, only to feel that this is indeed a paradise on earth.

  However, most of the people who come are looking at women, there is nothing that can be used for exchange, and women won't even say a word to you.

  That's the cruel reality.

  The newly formed ten teams intensified their training on land, and the old three Cui Dahong and the old four Yin Tao seemed to have made up their minds, arguing with each other, and the subordinates did not dare to slack off. After all, going out to sea to hunt sharks is a life-and-death business, and if something goes wrong, they will lose their lives in the mouths of sharks.

  Lao Da Lin Wei said to Tian Long: "Teacher, it's time for us to go out to sea, we don't have much food left."

  Yīng Tiān Lóng said: "You come and arrange it. Prepare ten signs, write down the numbers, and from now on, follow this order to go out to sea one by one."

  The lottery ceremony was held with great fanfare, with the ten teams of 300 people each standing in line, led by their team leaders to draw lots. Of course, no one wanted to draw the first number. Lin Wei, the leader, said during the mobilization: "Brothers, we should thank the boss for handling this matter fairly and reasonably. Now, no one is forcing anyone to go to sea, it's completely on a rotational basis, everyone has a share. You all know the dangers of shark hunting, and you've all worked hard in training without exception. To reward the bravest person, the boss said that whoever kills the first shark can have a wild night at the 'Kiss Me' bar, choosing their favorite woman to spend the night with."

  The people below cheered up.

  This time no one was afraid anymore, they all jumped up and tried, competing with each other, fearing that the first-time-out-to-sea sign would be snatched away by others.

  Ying Tianlong stood on one side with a cold smile. These people were really fugitives, they could give up their lives for women, how much value did their lives have?

  Wang Qing hastily walked over and said to Ying Tianlong, "Master, a messenger from the 'Black Wind Camp' brought a message from Luo Guoyong, asking you to go and discuss some matters."

  Ying Tianlong's heart moved slightly, well, just wanting to think of a way to meet him, couldn't find an excuse, and here it came.

  Wang Qing told Ying Tianlong that the meeting place was still at Hu Tou Ya.

  Ying Tianlong looked at Wang Qing and said: "What do you think he wants to do?"

  Wang Qing thought for a moment before responding, "Li Jiao and Luo Guoyong were sworn enemies who couldn't coexist. They had a fierce battle on the island over water sources and fertile land, resulting in countless casualties. Although they temporarily made amends later on, the grudge remained. Now that Li Jiao is dead, Luo Guoyong must think his greatest threat no longer exists, so he's taking the initiative to get close to you because he doesn't want to create another enemy. This person is much more formidable than Li Jiao."

  Ying Tianlong asked him: "You and Luo Guoyong used to be good friends, how much sincerity do you think he has?"

  "Sincerity is not much, some are just timid. Last time at Tiger Head Cliff, you killed the second master of 'Black Face Killer' Luo Qiyuan with one palm, clean and neat. His 'Black Wind Camp' must not have such a figure, unable to contend with you. So the only way is to acknowledge your 'Whirlwind Camp' master's legitimate status, and reshuffle the cards." Wang Qing replied.

  Ying Tianlong nodded.

  Wang Qing gazed at him with a thoughtful expression, wanting to speak but hesitating.

  "Say what you have to say, don't hide it," said Ying Tianlong.

  "Alright, I'll say it." Wang Qing looked around and saw no one, then said: "Tian Long, the 'Whirlwind Camp' is impoverished with no prospects for development. The brothers have nothing to do but throw themselves into the jaws of sharks one after another. On the other hand, the 'Black Wind Camp' has a water source and fertile land; establishing a base there would be a long-term plan. You're a dragon among men, I think you wouldn't be willing to linger in this godforsaken place either."

  Ying Tianlong didn't respond, encouraging him to continue speaking.

  "You can secretly take down Li Jiao Xian, seize the 'Whirlwind Camp', and you should be able to repeat your old trick. If you take down Luo Guoyong and unify the Island of Death, the world will be yours, who would still dare to look down on you?"

  Tianyonglong let out a cold laugh: "The world, what world? This is also called the world? It's just a tiny piece of land, but you're nearsighted and consider this godforsaken place to be the world."

  Wang Qing's face suddenly turned bright red, speechless.

  "Mr. Hyena, I'm not a man who can be easily tied down in one place," said Ying Tianlong. "I was a scout in the army and have been through countless hardships and dangers. I could shoot Li Nandou with one bullet, or let the military court sentence me to life imprisonment, but I never thought they would send me to Death Island to fend for myself. This is going too far. If I don't take revenge, I'm not a man. You should think carefully, can this small island of Death really hold me?"

  Wang Qing's eyes lit up, staring at him tightly: "A hero is a hero, I underestimated you. You say what to do, from today on, I'll follow your arrangements."

  "This meeting with Luo Guoyong is crucial for us, your relationship with him is not shallow, and now we have the capital in our hands, so we can negotiate. Let's go together tomorrow and play it by ear."

  "Alright, I'll go make arrangements."

  Looking at Wang Qing's hastily departing back, Ying Tianlong quietly cursed, "You think you can leave the island alive, Mr. 'Wild Dog'? Dream on, when the time comes, you'll be the first to go."

  When he heard that Ying Tianlong was going to meet with Luo Guoyong, the first person to get anxious was Qin Ming. He came to find Ying Tianlong and advised him not to go: "Master, Luo Guoyong is a treacherous and cunning person. I'm worried if you go."

  Lin Wei also disagreed: "Teacher, last time you killed Luo Qiyuan, Luo Guoyong will not forget the grudge. He is a sinister and cunning person, he won't play by the rules, I'm afraid it's more harm than good."

  Ying Tianlong said, "Have you all had enough? You want me to be a turtle with its head shrunk in, but I, Ying Tianlong, am not used to this habit. You must understand that our fate is still in someone else's hands, and there is no room for haggling. Only if I go and renegotiate a new contract with Luo Guoyong can the 'Whirlwind Camp' be safe and sound. Otherwise, it will be another bloody battle, and who knows who will end up dead?"

  Yin Tao said on the side, "What the master of the house said is right. Now that Luo Guoyong has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, it shows that he has his own considerations. Rather than engaging in a life-and-death war, it's better to value peace. Luo Guoyong is a clever person, and he has already thought of this."

  Ying Tianlong smiled slightly: "None of you are as good as Old Fourth, his analysis makes sense. As for the death of that Luo Qi Yuan, it's his own fault for being overconfident. If Luo Guo Xun wanted to avenge him, he wouldn't have waited until today."

  Qin Ming said: "Let's go together, you and I, as masters of this house."

  Lao Da Lin Wei said: "Whoever goes is fine, except for you. I think Luo Guoyong now hates you the most."

  According to Tian Long's instructions, Tian Lao Da Lin Wei and Lao San Cui Da Hong will go with me. The remaining people must be on high alert to prevent sudden incidents. Be prepared for any situation.

  Ying Tianlong returned to his residence, exhausted from a day's work. Alan and Ali came up to greet him. Ying Tianlong suddenly thought, how was he going to deal with these two women? He couldn't possibly be so absurd as to have both of them sleep by his side at the same time, or else if Feng Qiuyu found out, she would definitely pull his ears off.

  Alan was already in a de facto marital relationship with himself, but Ali was still a virgin and couldn't go to war with him. The problem was how to arrange her. Leaving her by his side didn't want to go up with her, what was this if not covering one's ears while stealing a bell? Tian Long thought for a long time with a bitter face, and finally came up with a good solution.

  Alan Tong came with water for him to wipe his face, and Tian Long said, "You sit down, there's something I want you to take care of."

  A Lan saw his serious look and hastily sat down saying: "Husband you just give the orders, I'll do as you say."

  "You know the situation in 'Whirlwind Camp' has just stabilized, and people's hearts are unpredictable. I need to win them over first. This Ali is a rare woman here, she looks good, young, and still a virgin, it's hard to come by. I can't afford to waste her, I want to transfer her to my trusted person, you have to do this job."

  Alan didn't utter a word.

  Ying Tianlong was slightly annoyed: "Did you hear that?"

  "Who are you planning to give her to?" Alan asked cautiously.

  "Older brother Lin Wei definitely won't do, Qin Ming is still secretly in love with Jiao Feng and can't either. I think it's just older third brother Cui Da Hong, this person although cunning, but towards women is still not bad. Ali following him also counts as having a place to settle down, won't be taken advantage of."

  "Alright then, I'll go talk to Ali." Alan agreed in one breath.

  Having dealt with things around him, Tian Long felt relieved. He began thinking about how he should negotiate with Luo Guoyong tomorrow.
