Chapter 1527: Break Off the Engagement In Exchange For My Help
“A deal?” w.a.n.g Songshan and w.a.n.g Ruoshui were both surprised after hearing Yang Ming’s words. Why did Yang Ming come to talk to them about a deal at this time? What on earth is going on?
“Yes, a deal!” Yang Ming nodded affirmatively. “I wonder if both seniors are free?”
w.a.n.g Ruoshui had lost her previous prejudice towards Yang Ming after hearing w.a.n.g Songshan’s explanation, knowing that him coming to break off the engagement was purely a set up by w.a.n.g Songshan and Fang Tian. Hence, she was not going to bring up the duel condition as she felt that Yang Ming was a pitiful child. He didn’t know that he was being set up by the two old guys. It was tragic that he wanted to break off an engagement but was instead coerced into a duel.
So, w.a.n.g Ruoshui felt the urge to tell Yang Ming the truth when he came in. Even if she didn’t tell the truth, she would first cancel the meaningless duel so that Yang Ming would not worry.
However, before w.a.n.g Ruoshui could speak, Yang Ming spoke first. Moreover, he came here with great confidence to negotiate a deal with w.a.n.g Songshan and her. w.a.n.g Ruoshui pushed aside her previous thoughts and quietly waited for Yang Ming to elaborate.
” Oh? Little friend Yang Ming, what is your proposed deal?” w.a.n.g Songshan looked at Yang Ming with interest. He really did not understand why Yang Ming chose to come at this time.
“My deal is quite simple.” Yang Ming did not beat around the bush and spoke frankly and sincerely. “I will help the b.u.t.terfly Family resolve the problem with the Lancer family, and in exchange, I plead Uncle w.a.n.g and Senior w.a.n.g Ruoshui to fulfill my request to break off the engagement. At the same time, please cancel the duel as well. ”
“You? Able to solve the problem?” w.a.n.g Songshan looked at Yang Ming in disbelief. Yang Ming had said nothing about a solution before. Besides, w.a.n.g Songshan had asked Yang Ming too. He knew what resources Yang Ming possessed. Apart from Yang Ming’s cooperation with the Charles family, his other resources were from Fang Tian. If Fang Tian did not have any solutions, what solutions could Yang Ming think of? Unless the Charles Family has decided to share all their firearms with the b.u.t.terfly Family?
However, the conditions of the deal proposed by Yang Ming made w.a.n.g Songshan and w.a.n.g Ruoshui amused. The only condition after solving the problem is to break off the engagement. Isn’t this too dramatic?
Even though the family was currently in dire straits and it remained to be seen whether Yang Ming could resolve the problem, w.a.n.g Ruoshui really wanted to laugh! Yang Ming was trying his best to break off the engagement. In the end, if he knew that the other party of the engagement was w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, how would he feel?
w.a.n.g Ruoshui really felt sad for Yang Ming. Isn’t he being played with? Rather, he was toyed with terribly! w.a.n.g Ruoshui could not help but look at Yang Ming with pity after thinking of this.
However, Great a.s.sa.s.sin Yang nodded confidently as he still didn’t know about it, “As long as you seniors agree with this junior’s request, you can entrust this matter to me.”
“Are you sure? Can you solve the Lancer family problem?” w.a.n.g Songshan still did not believe that Yang Ming had the ability, “You should know that the Lancer family happens to be one of the most outstanding families in European Upper society. To get them to change their minds is extremely difficult! If their conditions are not fulfilled, how can they change their minds? ”
“Exactly… unless, what you mean is to marry my niece to Goode, so that you can then terminate the marriage arrangement?” w.a.n.g Ruoshui also looked at Yang Ming in astonishment.
“How is that possible..?” Yang Ming smiled bitterly and touched his nose, “Senior w.a.n.g Ruoshui, isn’t your imagination too rich? If it still considered a deal if I do this?”
“That’s true!” w.a.n.g Ruoshui could tell that she had misunderstood and suddenly felt a little awkward. “If this is not the case, how do you plan to make the Lancer family change their mind?”
“When did I say I want the Lancer family to change their minds?” Yang Ming looked at w.a.n.g Ruoshui and w.a.n.g Songshan and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Why do these two people always like to guess what others think? And their guess is wrong too… Yang Ming was speechless. Can these two people show a little patience and let me finish talking?
“No need for Lancer family to change their minds?” w.a.n.g Songshan didn’t quite understand. If the Lancer Family do not change their minds, how else can we solve the b.u.t.terfly Family’s current crisis?
“Uncle w.a.n.g, you don’t suppose that the Lancer Family is the only one supplying firearms in all of Europe, right?” Yang Ming said, “You can’t let your supply depend on only one party. With so many options, why must you only focus on the Lancer Family? ”
“Do you mean…to open up new supply channels?” w.a.n.g Songshan was immediately happy after hearing Yang Ming’s words, “Do you have channels?”
“Yes, I do, but I don’t know whether you will be satisfied…” Yang Ming said here and paused, “I can only get special firearms from one firearms factory, not all of them…”
“You have a source? Which source?” w.a.n.g Songshan asked quickly. At this time, never mind one factory, even half of the factory would be fine! It is good that there is a glimmer of hope. How can I be picky?
“It’s the firearms factory that supplies to the Lancer family.” Yang Ming said. “I have established a connection with them. I can guarantee to get the same goods that you are getting from the Lancer Family!”
“The factory that supplies to the Lancer family? Isn’t that the Buffon Family?” w.a.n.g Songshan was stunned and looked at him surprised. “Yang Ming, you are saying that you know someone from the Buffon Family?”
Yang Ming nodded slowly. How can w.a.n.g Songshan be the head of the family, and yet be so shallow? Just some news about the Buffon Family made him lose his composure…
“What does Uncle w.a.n.g think about my deal?” Yang Ming asked.
“It’s certainly a good thing if you can really bypa.s.s the Lancer family and directly contact the Buffon Family… but…” w.a.n.g Songshan hesitated for a second. Apparently, his mind was not clouded by excitement. These two days had made him cautious. “According to my group’s intelligence, the head of the Lancer family had a good relations.h.i.+p with the previous head of the Buffon Family. Although the previous Buffon Family Master has pa.s.sed away, the Buffon Family will not offend the Lancer family easily, right? ”
“Will not offend?” Yang Ming sneered lightly. “What did the old idiot Thomas just say? The firearms factory of the Buffon Family has reduced the quota for the Lancer family …”
“How can you believe that?” w.a.n.g Songshan smiled bitterly after he heard Yang Ming’s “ignorance”. “That’s just an excuse for the Lancer family’s Thomas to create trouble! He just wanted to take the opportunity to coerce our b.u.t.terfly Family into approving the marriage between my daughter and Goode. It cannot be real…”
w.a.n.g Ruoshui also frowned. Could Yang Ming be so naive? He simply believed their words? If that is true, then it seems that there is no hope in depending on him to solve the b.u.t.terfly Family’s troubles.
“Just an excuse?” Yang Ming smirked and said scornfully. “Perhaps, his dream will soon come true…”
“Dream come true?” w.a.n.g Songshan suddenly frowned. “What do you mean by dream come true? Do you really want me to marry my daughter to Goode?”
“No… Uncle w.a.n.g, you misunderstood me.” Yang Ming sneered, “What I mean by dream comes true refers to his words about the reduction in the firearms quota. For this matter, his dream will soon come true. Since he wants to reduce his allocated supply quota from the Buffon Family, then we will fulfill his wis.h.!.+”
“Fulfill his wish?” w.a.n.g Songshan suddenly showed a startled expression. Yang Ming’s words are not only ambitious! They are simply arrogant! Yang Ming can actually reduce the quota of firearms supplied to the Lancer family? Is this possible?
w.a.n.g Songshan felt like he was dreaming. Isn’t Yang Ming’s bragging too grandiose? It’s a bit unrealistic! w.a.n.g Ruoshui also felt the same way. She thought that Yang Ming’s words were way too exaggerated.
“That’s right, it’s about fulfilling his wish.” Yang Ming nodded, “Now, the Buffon Family has a limited quant.i.ty of firearms and we can buy directly from them. If the Buffon Family sells to us, naturally the quota of firearms to other dealers will be reduced. Then, which dealer’s quota should l be reduced? Naturally, the Lancer family’s quota is the most suitable…”
Chapter 1528: I Wish Your Dreams Come True
w.a.n.g Songshan and w.a.n.g Ruoshui were stunned by what Yang Ming said. Isn’t Yang Ming’s thinking too bold? Why would the Buffon Family listen to Yang Ming? In fact, they are the largest family in Europe. Could Yang Ming really make them do as he wishes?
Does Yang Ming know their son or someone among the family? This isn’t a trivial matter. Why would they follow suit and listen to his orders? Moreover, the man that Yang Ming knows must be an important member of the Buffon Family. There are several elders in the Buffon Family as well. Then there is Old Buffon, the family master who is above the elders. Even if that person wants to help Yang Ming, it should be impossible to solicit approval from all these people at once?
No doubt, this is not an ordinary matter. It involves the friends.h.i.+p between the family master of the previous generation and the Lancer family. It is not something that can be simply altered by anyone who says to do so.
Therefore, w.a.n.g Songshan and w.a.n.g Ruoshui were not at all convinced by Yang Ming’s grandiose words. They did not believe that Yang Ming had this capability! It was possible that Yang Ming knew an important member of the Buffon Family, but it was impossible that he could win the Buffon Family’s support to go against the Lancer family.
“Yang Ming… what you said…is a little bit overwhelming…” w.a.n.g Songshan finally couldn’t help but say, “We are not seeking revenge on the Lancer family. As long as we can secure the b.u.t.terfly Family’s supply of firearms, we are fine with it…
Yang Ming looked at the distraught w.a.n.g Songshan. After a long while, he sighed helplessly, although his gaze had hints of contempt. “Uncle w.a.n.g, I thought before that as the family master of the b.u.t.terfly Family, you were a man who took charge. However, I did not expect you to be so timid at this moment! Your head is being stepped on by bullies yet you dare not even resist. You even willingly gave up an opportunity to fight back…”
w.a.n.g Songshan was thoroughly ridiculed by a junior. His face went pale. He thought, You speak without understanding my circ.u.mstances. If I had a formidable strength, who wouldn’t want to exact revenge? But now, the b.u.t.terfly Family is obviously on par with or even slightly weaker than the Lancer Family. In this situation, it is absolutely unwise to oppose the Lancer family!
“Little friend Yang Ming, you don’t need to provoke me…” w.a.n.g Songshan took a deep breath, and his mood calmed down a lot. “A real man stands tall and strong. If we need to take revenge, we will. But, we must be sure that we have the ability to do so! If you have the ability to take revenge, then put on a show. If you don’t have the ability to take revenge, it’s foolish to attempt. I believe that you will understand this principle without me having to say it, don’t you?
“With the current strength of the b.u.t.terfly Family… How is it possible to go against the Lancer family? The Lancer family is superior in terms of connections and financial power. Our only advantage is our a.s.sa.s.sins, but who can guarantee that the Lancer family does not have any hidden cards to safeguard their lives? A family with such a long history would have already developed formidable strength. So if we are rash in our actions, it will be a lose-lose situation, and the b.u.t.terfly Family might end up being even more wretched…”
w.a.n.g Songshan was not afraid that Yang Ming would make fun of him so he spoke his opinions and thoughts honestly.
Yang Ming heard w.a.n.g Songshan’s words and paused for a while, but then immediately understood his meaning. Y eah…until now, I have always looked at the problem from my own perspective, but I have never looked at it from w.a.n.g Songshan’s perspective!
Indeed, you can put on a show if you have the ability. Without any ability, it will be idiotic. In the past, when I did not have the strength to deal with w.a.n.g Zhitao, didn’t I choose to bear patiently until the day I could defeat him?
Come to think of it, although it’s been a short time and not even a year of work, it feels like it has been a lifetime! My ability has advanced by leaps and bounds, and it has been a long time since I was afraid of anyone. Now, upon being reminded by w.a.n.g Songshan, I also understand the difference in ability and perspective between him and I.
That’s why w.a.n.g Songshan was extremely fearful while Great a.s.sa.s.sin Yang was unbridled.
“Uncle w.a.n.g, you are right.” Yang Ming nodded. “However, I will tell the Lancer Family the exact same words. If they have the ability, they can put on a show in front of me, but now it seems that their family are fools.”
It would be excusable If Yang Ming was very arrogant in the past. The ignorant were unafraid. But now, Yang Ming still did not take the Lancer family seriously even after w.a.n.g Songshan’s words. Then, there could only be two reasons.
Either Yang Ming was really confident and didn’t take the Lancer family seriously at all, or he was a complete fool from the start. Of course, the second possibility was highly unlikely.
It was possible for Fang Tian’s disciple to be slightly arrogant, but it was impossible for him to be a fool. The old guy Fang Tian would not be stupid enough to even accept a fool as his disciple.
“Yang Ming, are you really sure?” w.a.n.g Songshan took a deep breath. He finally began to have some confidence and hope.
“Uncle w.a.n.g, you can now call the Lancer family and ask Thomas whether it is true that his quota of his firearms is reduced?” Yang Ming nodded and said.
” Oh? Why should we ask? It doesn’t seem to make sense?” w.a.n.g Songshan didn’t understand Yang Ming’s approach.
“Of course.” Yang Ming looked at w.a.n.g Songshan with a smirk. ” Thomas’s quota may have really been reduced for some time, which means his dreams have come true. Of course, we will need to run him down [1] in advance.”
w.a.n.g Songshan listened to Yang Ming’s words and finally understood what he meant! Yang Ming is trying to make Thomas feel bad! This boy is really wicked. If Thomas’s quota is reduced soon after this phone call, the old guy would cry to death. However, how can Yang Ming be so confident? w.a.n.g Songshan also felt that it would give him great pleasure to do this. If it was successful, it would vent a deep hatred from his heart!
However, what if Yang Ming can’t achieve it? It will be so shameful.
“Yang Ming, this person that you know from the Buffon Family. Will they really keep their word?” w.a.n.g Songshan was still a little worried.
“Of course, they will.” Yang Ming saw w.a.n.g Songshan being careful and was amused. “Uncle w.a.n.g, now the opportunity to take your revenge is right in front of you. Whether you can really seize it depends on you!”
“Okay! I’ll call!” w.a.n.g Songshan gritted his teeth. How can there be benefits without taking risks? Besides, even if Yang Ming doesn’t honor his words, does it matter if I lose face? Haven’t I already lost my face many times before? One more time does not matter.
As for w.a.n.g Ruoshui, she had fewer questions but more doubts! She didn’t speak, but looked down as if she was contemplating! Indeed, she had recalled what w.a.n.g Xiaoyan had said earlier!
w.a.n.g Xiaoyan had confidently said that Yang Ming should have a way to solve this problem! During that time, neither she nor w.a.n.g Songshan had paid much attention. However, Yang Ming had come to them claiming that he could solve the problem. So, what could this mean?
Unless, Yang Ming was really capable of helping the b.u.t.terfly Family brave through this difficult time? It should be… Without knowing why, w.a.n.g Ruoshui suddenly had an inexplicable confidence in Yang Ming!
Over there, w.a.n.g Songshan’s phone call was connected. Thomas, the Lancer Family’s Master, answered the call.
“Family Master w.a.n.g, have you thought about it carefully?” Thomas saw the phone call was from the b.u.t.terfly Family, so he asked directly.
“It’s me …” w.a.n.g Songshan organized his own words. Of course, he was pretty capable when it came to insulting people! Now that he had decided, he could let go, “Thomas Family Master, as far as I know, the Buffon Family did not reduce your family’s firearms quota!”
“Oh? Really?” Thomas frowned suddenly, cursing in his heart. You, you old guy! You can’t tell that this is just an excuse? However, since they were on the topic, Thomas naturally felt that it was inappropriate to say it directly, and could only reply, “How do you know?”
“Who doesn’t have a few friends?” w.a.n.g Songshan smiled. “Family Master Thomas, in this case, do you want to resume our cooperation?”
“Resume?” Thomas hesitated and thought, This old fellow is too whimsical? He snorted and said directly, “Where did you get your information about the decision made by the Buffon Family’s superiors? This is their latest decision. It has not been announced to the public. You can not know about it!”
“I see. Then, may your dream come true!”
