Chapter 9: Half step master Tan Zongming
"My master? Uh … It's not like you don't know about my relationship with him. He'll help anyone but me. Besides, he's been living in seclusion for a long time now. He's fine with raising birds and walking dogs, but you want him to come out and help you? That's harder than ascending to heaven! "
Xu Jie couldn't help but roll his eyes. He didn't want to say much about his master, but it wasn't hard to guess that his master wasn't an ordinary person.
This also made Jiang Bai understand why Xu Jie, a gangster, could do whatever he wanted in the Upper East Side. He wasn't even afraid of someone like Boss Ma. It was obvious that he had a backer. Although it didn't seem like he could move his backer, as long as it was there, it would be a stabilizing force.
"Uh, then you?" Boss Ma's face changed when he heard this.
"I can't invite my master, but my big brother can. He's a proper Ba Ji Grandmaster! He can deal with a half-step Grandmaster like him, "Xu Jie said before Boss Ma could speak. At the same time, he pointed at Jiang Bai who was sitting there.
"Really?" Boss Ma looked at Jiang Bai doubtfully. His eyes were full of doubt.
He didn't know Jiang Bai, but he couldn't be blamed. After all, Jiang Bai was too young. Boss Ma himself had also practiced martial arts when he was young. He was able to get to where he was today by fighting with his fists and kicks. Although he had neglected it in recent years, it didn't mean that he was a pure businessman who didn't know anything.
A twenty-year-old Level Eight Grandmaster?
What the hell! How was that possible!
"You don't believe me? Don't say you don't believe me. Before my big brother taught me a lesson, I didn't believe it either … "Xu Jie said dryly with a bitter smile.
If someone had told him before today that there was a twenty-year-old Grandmaster in this world, Xu Jie would have slapped him to death without a second thought.
But now, he had no choice but to believe it.
"Uh, no, no, I just don't know if you …"
Horse Ma was a sophisticated person. He could tell at a glance that Xu Jie wasn't faking it. He quickly changed the topic. As he spoke, he turned on his phone and ordered a bottle of 15 Bordeaux Mouton.
After taking a sip of the wine, Xu Jie slowly said to Ma Zhangyang, who had been waiting for a long time, "Boss Ma, I know about your situation. How many people have you begged these days? How much money have you spent? You finally found two people who were willing to stand up for you. In the end, they were beaten half to death. Your subordinates were all crippled, leaving you with no way out.
Why? You know even if I don't tell you. Now that my big brother is taking the lead and helping you solve this problem, he's directly disgracing Prince Nalan. You have to understand the weight of this. As for the price … "
"I know that. I won't mistreat you after the matter is settled. Little Xu, what do you think of the Great World? There's a sauna, a bath, a KTV, a bar, a one-stop service. For this entertainment city, I offended a lot of people. Just the renovation alone cost me more than 30 million. After deducting the cost and rent, I'll make at least 10 million a year. If this matter is settled, I'll give this place to Mr. Jiang. "
Boss Ma thought for a moment and gritted his teeth. Even if he was worth billions, he would still feel the pinch if he gave away such a place.
"Haha, let's do that …" Xu Jie laughed and agreed.
From the beginning to the end, Jiang Bai didn't say a word. He allowed Xu Jie to ask for an exorbitant price.
This was related to Jiang Bai's lack of affection for Boss Ma. It was like this in the past, and it was even more so now.
After the two of them were done talking, Jiang Bai said, "I can take care of this matter, but I have a condition. I'll settle this matter, but your son still has to take responsibility for it. If the girl is willing, he has to marry her. If she's not, he has to apologize to her. Otherwise, I won't take care of this matter."
"Of course, of course!" Boss Ma nodded repeatedly.
What a joke! That brat was so scared that he was about to pee his pants. In the past, he thought that this girl was just from an ordinary family, so it was fine to play around with her. Now that he knew that her second uncle was an extremely awesome Jianghu tycoon, how could he dare to have such thoughts?
Of course, he had to apologize!
If he didn't apologize after offending such a person, even if she left this time, Old Horse would have to live in fear for the rest of his life.
What if they could get married?
That would be great. If he could get Prince Nalan's Three Great Generals, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in Tiandu in the future!
How could he not be willing?
"Let's go. Let's go see that half-step master!"
Jiang Bai nodded and stood up. Xu Jie and Ma Zhangyang followed closely behind. The three of them got into a Land Rover Range Rover. Ma Zhangyang's driver, drove straight to a villa on the outskirts of Tiandu.
An hour later, when Jiang Bai and the rest arrived, a middle-aged man in his forties was already waiting for them. He was sitting on a wicket chair with his eyes half-closed, leisurely drinking tea.
Beside him were seven to eight tall and sturdy men, standing in a row with their hands behind their backs. They were waiting for Jiang Bai and the rest at the entrance of this elegant private villa.
"Mister Tan, I've already told you that I've invited an expert this time. I hope you can fulfill your promise. In addition, if this matter is settled, we'll also admit the fault of that good-for-nothing prodigal son of mine. If you want to punish him, it's up to you. I only ask that you show mercy. After all, I, Old Horse, only have this one son. If your niece is willing, I promise that I'll make that brat follow your niece wholeheartedly. He won't dare to act recklessly again. "
Ma Zhangyang saw Tan Zongming and quickly walked over. He nodded and bowed as he spoke. His attitude was extremely humble, and he didn't have the air of a billionaire at all.
Actually, he couldn't be blamed. Xu Jie's words were so mysterious. This Prince Nalan's subordinate, Tan Zongming, was definitely not an ordinary person. Although Ma Zhangyang was rich and had some connections, in front of this person, he was clearly too far away.
"Xu Jie? It's you? If your master was here, I would still be somewhat afraid of him. But you … hehe … "
Tan Zongming also knew Xu Jie. He could tell that Xu Jie was also someone with a name. Although Tan Zongming didn't put Xu Jie in his eyes when he said this, he knew that Xu Jie existed. It could be seen that Xu Jie was really doing well.
"Mister Tan, I don't dare to spar with you. The one who came is my big brother."
Xu Jie laughed and didn't take Tan Zongming's contempt to heart. He then pointed at Jiang Bai, indicating that Jiang Bai was the real main character.
"En? So young! Eh? "
Tan Zongming sized up Jiang Bai. At first, he was astonished, then he became serious, and his expression was extremely strange.
He had been practicing martial arts bitterly for more than thirty years. As a half-step Grandmaster, he could run rampant in the world. There weren't many people that he couldn't see through, but he actually couldn't see through Jiang Bai. This made him very astonished.
"Let's not talk too much. Please." Jiang Bai didn't hesitate. He cupped his hands and made a gesture, directly preparing to spar with Tan Zongming.
"Heh, what big words! What an arrogant person! "
Tan Zongming put down the purple sand tea cup in his hand and slowly stood up. He smiled and then put up a posture.
