784: 785 784: 785 Hua Xian guessed right away that this must be Xiao Chen’s doing; the aim was to let Lord Long kick up a fuss for a few days, just like fattening a pig before slaughtering it.

Eliminating him now would greatly diminish the intended intimidating effect.

“Hmph, let’s go!”

Lord Long left with his men.

Having just arrived in Blue Sea, he wasn’t inclined to clash with officials, as it would be detrimental to his future endeavors.

“Lord Long, it’s likely that Xiao Chen was the one who called the police!”

Li Mao said from the side.

A vicious look flickered in Lord Long’s eyes, “Xiao Chen!

Hmph, just wait, now that I’ve come to Blue Sea, I will make him wish he could neither live nor die!”

“Xiao Chen’s wife is none other than Jiang Meng, the chairwoman of Xinmeng Group!”

Li Mao added.

“Really?

Xinmeng Group has been quite bold lately, thinking they can do whatever they want just because they withstood Menghua Corporation’s offensive?”

Lord Long sneered, “Our Li Family Clan of Xiongcheng City might not be as powerful as Menghua Corporation in business, but killing a person or two is still an easy task.

Jiang Meng, is it?

Xiao Chen, would you be heartbroken if you lost your wife?”

“Lord Long, what’s your next move?”

Fang Wuqiang from the Fang Family drew closer and inquired.

Fang Wuqiang was Fang Wuyong’s younger brother.

Since Fang Wuyong’s capture, Fang Wuqiang had taken control of the Fang Family.

Although much weaker, the family’s infrastructure remained intact.

A starving camel is bigger than a horse.

Despite no longer being as potent as most first-rate family clans, they were still considered a second-rate clan.

“Tonight, I’ll host a banquet at the Royal Mansion of Blue Sea to welcome business figures from Blue Sea.

I want to see for myself how many people in Blue Sea welcome Li Long and how many do not!

Besides, keep watch over Hua Xian and report back immediately at any signs of trouble!”

Li Long contemplated before instructing.

“Yes!”

Li Mao enthusiastically responded, “I’ll take care of the banquet.

I guarantee I’ll handle it well for you!”

Being able to hold a night banquet in Blue Sea’s Royal Mansion was a show of respect for their Royal Mansion.

He was certainly going to do a good job.

Soon, the invitations were prepared.

Almost every significant person in Blue Sea’s business community received one.

Bi Qingtian, Fang Wuqiang, Duan De, among others.

Even Nano Tech Company, Blue Sea Chengxu Group, and Xinmeng Group received invitations.

Li Zui and Bi Qingtian got their invites and quickly contacted Xiao Chen to ask whether or not they should attend.

“Go, why not?

Not going would seem as if we’re afraid of him,” Xiao Chen laughed, “Not only should we go, but we also need to prepare gifts.

Don’t worry, Jun Moxie and Shi Xingzu will accompany you for safety.”

“Understood!”

The two hung up, each letting out a sigh of relief.

With Xiao Chen’s word, they felt relaxed.

Bi Qingtian could represent Blue Sea Chengxu Group!

Li Zui was representing Nano Tech Company.

Duan Bin represented Blue Sea Entertainment.

Jiang Meng received an invitation as well, but disinterested, she handed over the matter to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen sent Jun Moxie in her place.

On one hand, he could protect Bi Qingtian and the others, and on the other, he could represent Xinmeng Group.

“Remember, just give them a warning shot, don’t go too hard.

I need him to keep jumping, so we can see who stands with them!”

Xiao Chen feared that Jun Moxie might wreck Lord Long’s operations directly, which would be no fun at all.

…

People in Blue Sea’s business community all knew of Lord Long’s ferocity.

They were aware of the madness of his four adopted sons.

Those who received the invitation, aside from those who were already under the protection of Bihai Club, were mostly unhappy about it.

This invitation was practically a summons from King Yama.

To go or not was troublesome.

If they went, they might be forced to take sides.

If they didn’t, they might be eliminated.

So, trouble was inevitable no matter what.

It had only been a few days since they celebrated the downfall of the Bihai Club, yet a more terrifying Lord Long had quickly emerged.

Lord Long alone was enough to suppress the Bihai Club.

Not to mention, he had the entire Li Family of Xiongcheng City behind him.

Everyone knew that this Lord Long was ruthless and murdered without batting an eye, making one’s scalp tingle just hearing his name.

The rise of the Li Family in Xiongcheng City showed that any entrepreneur who dared to be an enemy of the family often mysteriously died or disappeared.

It was truly terrifying.

At the moment, the Royal Mansion of Blue Sea was hung with large red lanterns, making the night as bright as daylight.

Li Mao had pulled out all the stops for this event.

The vast parking lot of the Royal Mansion was filled with a non-stop stream of luxury cars.

Notables from Blue Sea’s industrial and commercial circles had all arrived.

Moreover, every single one of them greeted Li Mao with earnest politeness.

In the past, while these people respected him due to Li Chuang, the feeling wasn’t quite as exhilarating as it was today.

Being a dog for Lord Long felt even more satisfying than being Li Chuang’s brother.

“Mr.

Li!”

Fang Wuqiang, Duan De, and other big Family Clans were all exceedingly respectful.

Which made Li Mao very pleased and excited.

“You’re so happy to be someone’s dog?”

Just then, a discordant voice rang out.

Li Mao focused his gaze and saw it was actually Li Zui.

“You!

You actually dare to come!”

Li Mao was very surprised.

“Why wouldn’t I dare?

Does Old Dog Long really think he’s Mr.

King Yama?

The real Yama is in Yama Hall!”

Li Zui said contemptuously.

“Get lost!”

Jun Moxie shoved Li Mao aside.

They had come to make trouble and disrupt the event today, so naturally, they had to be a bit over the top.

“You!

Who are you?

I am Lord Long’s man, and you dare to push me!”

Li Mao was almost going mad, having just enjoyed being lifted to the skies by everyone, only to be trampled on immediately after.

It was truly maddening.

“Lord Long?

Oh, you mean Li Long, just a toothless old dog.”

Jun Moxie said disdainfully, then walked into the mansion with Li Zui and Bi Qingtian’s men.

Li Mao’s old face turned livid with rage, “Just wait, I will definitely tell Lord Long what you said later, and we’ll see how you die!”

The guests soon arrived in full.

At the banquet, most people sat there respectfully.

Only Jun Moxie’s table had already started eating.

“What the hell is that Old Dog Long doing?

Who does he think he is not to show up!”

Jun Moxie exclaimed loudly.

His words did not matter much to him, but they terrified everyone around them, who began to shy away from these people.

The people at this table were all madmen.

They didn’t even give a second glance to Lord Long.

After a long while, Li Long finally appeared, followed by his four adopted sons.

Mo Qiang, Xue Jian, Lang Ji, Charlatan!

The four men radiated an aura of murder, and just standing there made everyone feel a chill down their spine as if being eyed by a wolf.

Too terrifying.

“Lord Long has arrived!”

As this voice echoed, almost everyone stood up.

Only Jun Moxie’s table continued to eat and drink as if they hadn’t seen Li Long at all.

But because they were blocked by others, Li Long also didn’t see them, so he made no response.

Li Long magnanimously gestured for everyone to be seated.

In their hearts, the guests marveled at his imposing presence, thinking that Blue Sea in the future would probably truly belong to the Li Family of Xiongcheng City.
