Chapter 917 - 915: The Situation in the Bar
First of all, these two people aren’t strangers, they are insiders arranged by the Fang Family in the East City. The three cities never got along and were always trying to conquer one side in a single move, to then utilize the resources of the two cities to contend with the final city, achieving the goal of uniting the three cities.
Therefore, Fang Dali and others from the North City deliberately arranged for two experts. These two experts were not weak; they were trusted subordinates of Fang Dali.
After a previous confrontation with Chen Tianlong, Fang Dali felt that relying solely on those subordinates’ strength was insufficient to deal with Chen Tianlong, so he brought out all the treasures of the Fang Family, forcibly upgrading two subordinates from Profound Dao three stars directly to Profound Dao seven stars.
It was a heavy expenditure, consuming many Qi Gathering Pills, though the Qi Gathering Pills were of no use to Fang Datong himself.
Once at the tunnel, trying to upgrade, consuming more Qi Gathering Pills was not enough to break through, and once consumed excessively, the Qi Gathering Pills became harmful. This was the side effect of the drug. Those who consumed too many Qi Gathering Pills found their Powerful Qi became very pure, while the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi contained some impurities and exhaust gases, generating resistance over time, which slowed the absorption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and eventually, the function of the Dantian would gradually disappear.
In this case, wouldn’t that be equivalent to being unable to cultivate?
So Fang Dali gave the Qi Gathering Pills to his subordinates, upgrading them to Profound Dao seven stars to infiltrate the East City and work for him.
Soon enough, they monitored this foolish youth, Lin Kaitai.
Who was Lin Kaitai? The two experts from the North City found out quickly enough, learning that he had a grudge with Chen Tianlong, they thought about coming over to win him over for the use of the North City.
"Lin, actually, I’m a neutral person in the city and really disagree with the three cities standing in opposition." The speaker was a master from the North City, Fang Hetong.
This person not only had strong skills but also had a talent for persuasion; after a few cups of horse pee, he began all sorts of chatter.
And Lin Kaitai was entirely unguarded, having just met these two people, he believed they definitely wouldn’t target him. So Fang Hetong and another partner could take advantage of the situation to implement their plan.
"Why do you disagree? Isn’t the struggle between the three cities supposed to enhance the tightness of the situation and promote economic development? In the face of danger, everyone knows to protect their home, and only then will they do their best; it’s called living in adversity, dying in ease."
Fang Xiaoli was a drinker, having drunk quite a bit, but his mind remained clear.
"Hehe, I don’t think so. You see, North City, East City, and the Ice Hall are often at war. In this case, where is the focus to develop the economy? Everyone ends up stagnating, and even the people within the cities wanting to communicate, intermarry, and develop multi-regional economies, etc., are not possible. What development can we talk about then?" Fang Hetong analyzed.
At this time, another expert, Fang Qiguai, also spoke: "Yeah, I agree with Fang. If this continues, I think the Ice City is going to perish. It attracts no foreign investment, always stagnant waters, and after all, since you’re going to fight every day, who would dare invest? If everything good gets ruined, who will compensate once it’s gone?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Kaitai suddenly understood, thinking what they said made sense: "Hmm, makes sense, but the matters of East City are decided by my brother, it has little to do with me. Come, come, let’s have another drink!"
Saying this, Lin Kaitai stood up and, along with the two beauties beside him, downed a large glass of whiskey.
"Hehe, Lin, you’re wrong there. There are only you two brothers in the Lin Family, and all military power is in your brother’s hands. Since ancient times, no mountain can accommodate two tigers. Right now, you might think it’s fine, but what if one day your big brother feels strong enough to dominate the entire Lin Family, you, as the second young master, pose the greatest threat to him." Fang Hetong persuaded.
"Nonsense, how could my brother go against me? Don’t talk nonsense, or I’ll turn my back on you if you continue like this." Lin Kaitai’s sore spot was hit. He had felt it himself; since their father’s death, his brother held all the power and paid no attention to him, and so he spent his days in revelry, not wanting to care about anything.
"Okay, I’ve said enough. Think about it yourself, I just want to say, isn’t there another person joining the Lin Family Army lately? If so, that means there’s no place for you in the Lin Family anymore." Fang Hetong used the final ace up his sleeve.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Lin Kaitai furrowed his brow deeply, feeling this had touched upon his heart. Chen Tianlong was an outsider, yet young, and to have been entrusted with significant responsibilities by his brother—could there really be a conspiracy?
Thinking about this, a vague worry crept into Lin Kaitai’s heart.
Seeing Lin Kaitai’s face, Fang Hetong and Fang Qiguai immediately realized he had begun to fall for their trap.
"Alright, let’s not talk about anything else, let’s drink a few more cups and enjoy ourselves thoroughly."
The two controlled the amount of information they revealed, knowing overdoing it might arouse Lin Kaitai’s suspicion.
On the other side of the bar.
Chen Tianlong had already sat down with Wu Mengting, near a small table by the dance floor. The two were just sitting, having ordered a glass of red wine and a glass of whiskey.
Of course, Chen Tianlong drank the whiskey while Wu Mengting, who wasn’t good at drinking, preferred red wine. Even so, for Wu Mengting, who usually didn’t touch alcohol, her face turned flush after half a glass of red wine, clearly showing signs of slight drunkenness.
But it was just right, with that slight drunkenness, Wu Mengting forgot all her shyness; her mind a bit dizzy, she followed Chen Tianlong into the dance floor. Under the throbbing beats of the heavy metal music, Wu Mengting was completely unaware of what she was doing, instead losing herself in the music, swaying her body.
Afraid she might fall, Chen Tianlong held onto her slender waist, and they danced closely together.
In this moment, Wu Mengting was sexy and uninhibited, giving Chen Tianlong even greater stimulation. They continued to dance, enjoying the unprecedented freedom.
Wu Mengting’s dancing became more excited, as if the entire dance floor belonged to just her and Chen Tianlong, becoming increasingly wild. She might as well have been passionately twisting that enchanting body of hers.
At this time, the men and women in the dance floor began to notice the fairy-like beauty. Her wild, unrestrained dance utterly astonished them.
When had the bar ever had such stunning beauties appear, especially to dance such a hot performance, oh heavens!
The wolves in the room were halted, standing dumbfounded on the side, admiring the beautiful woman’s graceful figure, growing more envious of Chen Tianlong next to her.
"Wow, now this is a real beauty."
"Yeah, this kind of quality is premium, the man hit the jackpot."
"If I could spend a night with that woman, I’d be willing to give him my BMW parked outside."
The men bragged to each other, not knowing if it was true or false, but Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting paid no attention to the crowd’s discussions, instead losing themselves in their dance. Eventually, the two were embraced together, passionately kissing.
