Chapter 65

ps: This is to make up for last night!

Chapter 63: Heaven and Earth

Since it was broad daylight, as the most famous nightclub in Quancheng, Heaven and Earth was almost empty, so although their group was quite eye-catching, not many people actually saw this scene.

"Brother Liu, it's noon now, and I assume you haven't eaten. So I've prepared a table of food, as a way to apologize for last night and for my unruly subordinates!" After leading Liu Dong to the restaurant on the top floor of Heaven and Earth, Wang Haitao said with a smile.

Hearing his words, Liu Dong smiled faintly. Compared to two years ago, he was much more tactful now. "Hehe, Leader Wang, you're too polite. They didn't really cause me any trouble, so there's no need to apologize. But I do want to know who exactly told them to cause me trouble."

Sensing the fleeting sharpness in the young man before him, Wang Haitao's smile froze. Involuntarily, he recalled that night two years ago, when Liu Dong was much more aggressive. But now, Liu Dong was like a sword hidden in its sheath, occasionally revealing its sharpness, which was even more formidable than before.

"He's become even stronger!" With this thought, Wang Haitao couldn't help but want to bring Liu Dong under his command.

"If I could recruit such a skilled person, the Black Tiger Gang would become even more powerful!" Of course, he had this idea because he had already obtained information about Liu Dong's experiences in Quancheng through his connections. A villager who made a living by carving and didn't even own a house would find it hard to resist the temptation of money, which was precisely the Black Tiger Gang's advantage.

Thinking about this, Wang Haitao couldn't help but feel excited. However, he also knew that a skilled person like Liu Dong would have the pride of a skilled person. If he directly tempted him with a large sum of money, it might backfire. A more gradual approach would be more successful.

And this was a method he had used successfully many times before, like when he recruited Wang Hongbing.

"Brother Liu, rest assured! I've already investigated what happened last night." After saying this, Wang Haitao turned and sternly called out, "Qi Qiang, come here!"

Hearing his leader's words, Qi Qiang, who had been following behind the group, shuddered but didn't dare to delay. He quickly ran over and respectfully bowed his head, saying, "Leader!"

"Tell Brother Liu yourself who ordered you to cause trouble last night!" He paused, "If I find out you're lying, you know the consequences."

Hearing Wang Haitao's words, Qi Qiang felt bitter. He hadn't expected that his greed would lead to such a big problem.

He didn't dare to delay and recounted the events of the previous night in detail.

"So you don't know who the person was?" After listening, Liu Dong pondered for a moment and asked.

"Yes, Mr. Liu! That night, the person came with 100,000 yuan and asked us to teach someone a lesson. I thought it was a small matter, so I took the job out of greed. If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have dared to do it, even if you gave me the courage!" Qi Qiang said with a bitter smile.

After hearing his words and seeing Liu Dong nod, Wang Haitao asked, "Brother Liu, is there anything else you want to ask?"

"No!"

Waving Qi Qiang away, Wang Haitao said, "Brother Liu, if you trust me, let me handle this. I'm sure the Black Tiger Gang can find the person who wronged you in Quancheng."

"Hehe, thank you, Leader Wang, but it's not necessary. I think I can already guess who it is!" As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in Liu Dong's eyes.

From Qi Qiang's description of the person who gave him 100,000 yuan, Liu Dong was almost certain it was one of the two bodyguards he had seen at the department store with Han Lei.

Seeing Liu Dong's expression, Wang Haitao didn't insist. Instead, he led Liu Dong to the table in the center of the restaurant, which was already laden with various dishes.

"Brother Liu, please sit!" Wang Haitao's smile grew wider, and his tone became even more polite.

Liu Dong didn't refuse, but he didn't sit in the main seat. Instead, he sat to Wang Haitao's left.

"Everyone, sit down!"

After inviting his subordinates to sit, Wang Haitao picked up the open bottle of Maotai on the table, poured himself three glasses, and then put the bottle down. He then picked up a full glass of wine, raised it, and said with a smile, "Brother Liu, what we did two years ago was wrong. Today, I will use these three glasses of wine to apologize to you. I hope we can forget the past and become friends!" Without waiting for Liu Dong to respond, Wang Haitao drank the first glass, then put the glass down and drank the remaining two glasses of Maotai.

"Brother Liu, I've had mine!"

Shandong men are straightforward, and this is true at the dinner table as well. However, Liu Dong didn't usually drink much, so seeing Wang Haitao drink three glasses, he felt he had to accompany him to show respect.

Moreover, given Liu Dong's nature of being soft on the outside but hard on the inside, he couldn't refuse such的热情, especially with so many Black Tiger Gang leaders present.

"Since Leader Wang says so, the past misunderstandings are forgotten! But before I drink, I must make it clear that my alcohol tolerance is limited. I can drink these three glasses, but I won't drink any more after that!" Liu Dong said, setting the rules.

"Alright, no problem." He paused and then instructed, "Bring Brother Liu a pot of good tea and serve it!"

"Brother Liu, is this acceptable?"

Hearing his words, Liu Dong smiled and nodded, then his expression suddenly turned serious. His right hand, which had been resting on his lap, slapped the solid wood table with a 'slap.' The Maotai bottle and three unused glasses that had been on Wang Haitao's side of the table suddenly jumped up and landed in a straight line in front of Liu Dong. The other dishes and drinks on the table didn't even wobble.

Seeing this scene, which usually only appeared in movies, the Black Tiger Gang members couldn't help but stare in amazement.

Seeing Liu Dong's precise control of force, Wang Hongbing, who had been thinking of testing his skills, swallowed hard and felt relieved. Unlike the others who were just watching for entertainment, only someone who had practiced martial arts from a young age could understand how difficult it was to achieve such a simple yet impressive feat.

Without reaching the level of hidden strength and without precise control of one's own force, it was impossible to achieve this.

Seeing the stunned expressions on everyone's faces, Liu Dong felt secretly satisfied. He knew that to truly intimidate these tough, bloodthirsty people, he had to show that he was even stronger. So, he demonstrated this skill. However, if it were before, his skills hadn't reached this level. But since he mysteriously gained his powers, his internal martial arts, which he had practiced since childhood, had greatly improved. His control over his strength had become much more natural, so achieving this level wasn't too difficult.

Seeing Liu Dong's skill, Wang Haitao, who was sitting next to him, felt a mix of emotions: fear, a bit of joy, and mostly disbelief. In his forty years of life, he had never seen anyone turn a movie scene into reality. This only strengthened his resolve to recruit Liu Dong.
