Chapter 184
It wasn't just them. Zhang Cheng was waiting. All the big shots of Shengcheng's illegal circle were waiting.
Donghai was like this big piece of fatty meat dangling in front of them but they could only see it and not eat any. This was a very upsetting situation indeed.
Donghai was now undergoing rapid development and the situation was changing almost every day. If they missed their chance now, it could be difficult to get in later.
Lin Wu's leg couldn't be healed completely, but at least he could walk. He hobbled along and his face was filled with anger all the time.
"No sound from Master Fu?" he just had to ask.
"Nothing," Gao Fei shook his head. "He's still chanting sutras, eating vegetarian meals and reading everyday."
This didn't sound like what the leader of the illegal circle of Shengcheng would be doing, but Master Fu was that leader.
"What about Masquerade Club?"
"I heard that someone from the north came by. But he only came for one day, did nothing and left."
Lin Wu found it hard to sit still. Gao Fei was equally restless. They looked for Zhang Cheng to find that he couldn't sit still either.
At this rate, they were going to lose their chance.
A lot of the bosses in Shengcheng's illegal circle were just looking on. But everyone knew that if they just kept on looking on like this, they would all lose their chance.
Zhang Cheng made a call to the bosses and asked them to come along to Masquerade Club and look for Master Fu to ask about what to do.
At Masquerade Club.
This was a very special place in
Shengcheng.
There was good food, good wine, beautiful women, paintings, antiques, everything. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Most importantly, there was information here. You could buy information on absolutely anything here, unless you couldn't afford it.
It wasn't easy to enter this club. Without an invitation, you couldn't even step past the main door. So most people had only heard of it but had never gone in before.
Apparently one had to be worth at least $1 billion to get through the main door.
Zhang Cheng had come along with the other bosses of the illegal circle.
They had agreed to come together, but they didn't know if Master Fu would see them.
They were rivals when it came to fighting for a fatty piece of meat like Donghai, but there was no problem in working together for the time being.
The few of them entered the club and were seated in a small room. Someone soon sent tea over.
Zhang Cheng didn't care to be polite. He immediately started drinking the tea. This tea was worth a million bucks, so it would be a terrible waste of money if he didn't drink it.
After a long time, Master Fu didn't appear and some of them started looking impatient.
"Butler Zhao, is Master Fu around?"
There was a middle aged man standing there. His hair was slightly white but he still looked very alert. He was Master Fu's butler, and everyone only knew his surname was Zhao but nobody knew the rest of his name. He was also the person in charge of Masquerade Club.
So even Zhang Cheng and the other bosses had to be polite to this butler.
"He's around, but he's chanting sutras," said Butler Zhao with a smile and his eyes
half closed.
"Please don't be anxious. Why don't I bring another pot of tea over?"
Zhang Cheng waved his hands and said there was no need to. This pot cost a million bucks. One pot was just to give Master Fu business, but two pots was spending unnecessary money. He was willing to spend a lot of money on certain things, but not on this.
"No worries, this pot is on the house."
Butler Zhao waved his hands and a waiter came in with another pot of tea.
After waiting for another hour, Zhang Cheng paced up and down. He would look up now and then, but Master Fu was nowhere to be seen.
"Butler Zhao?"
Butler Zhao looked up. 'Til go help you ask?" "We'll have to trouble you, Butler Zhao.”
Zhang Cheng and the rest had to just wait patiently. They knew this was the way Master Fu was, so they couldn't say anything either.
Butler Zhao came back after a while.
Zhang Cheng and the rest immediately went up to him.
"How's it? Will Master Fu see us?"
"Master Fu has gone to take a rest." Butler Zhao kept his polite smile on. "But I have the answer that all of you are looking for."
"How's it?”
All their eyes lit up at this.
"There is no sign of the north in Donghai."
