Fatty Wang waited until Xiao Mu arrived at midnight, and he had been sitting in the hall long enough to have made three or four trips to his residence in Jingshan. From the time the servant went to open the door to when Xiao Mu appeared before him, it took about four to five minutes. Xiao Mu looked a bit dizzy; in fact, he had indeed had a drink and was slightly tipsy.

"Third Young Master!" Fatty Wang called out to Xiao Mu from his seat, reminding him of his presence.

Xiao Mu, who was about to go upstairs, unexpectedly stared at Fatty Wang. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm sorry to disturb you so late at night," Fatty Wang politely expressed his apology.

"If you know it's late, you should head back early." Xiao Mu, slightly intoxicated, walked up to Fatty Wang.

"I came to find you because the situation is urgent."

The servant brought tea and placed it on the table. Xiao Mu crossed his legs and took a sip of the tea. "Then go ahead and speak."

Fatty Wang coughed a few times, having trouble adjusting to Xiao Mu's change in attitude. "I would like to ask Third Young Master to help me rally the Wang Family."

"Oh, that matter." Xiao Mu nodded. "Lately, all the newspapers have been reporting on your Wang Family's affairs. Quite famous, I've read about it. What do you want me to do to help?"

"The Wang Family is in an economic crisis now. If possible, I hope Third Young Master can step in..."

"You want me to finance your Wang Family?" Xiao Mu let out a sigh. "It's not impossible, but if I fund you, who will take the position in the Wang Family?"

"Of course, it would still be me." Fatty Wang was confident about this.

"Is that so? How come I heard that Wang Zhanting wants to dethrone you? Oh, and recently, it seems those two uncles of yours who support you are also standing by Wang Zhanting's side. Your confidence surprises me." Xiao Mu's sarcasm made Fatty Wang's face turn red and white alternately.

"If I can rejuvenate the Wang Family, I'm not afraid they won't support me."

"Additionally, I have some information, though I'm not sure how reliable it is." Xiao Mu waved his hand toward Fatty Wang. "You had the Underworld look for Zhang Teng's recording tape earlier, didn't you?"

"How do you know?" Fatty Wang was taken aback. He had only asked Elder Guo to handle this matter, and it was very secretive, with no second person knowing.

"So, it seems to be true. Do you know who the current head of the Underworld is?" Fatty Wang shook his head. "Yelu Shou!" The unfamiliar name clearly puzzled Fatty Wang, and he was left guessing the background of this person. "Fatty Wang, do you know where you've lost?"

"I haven't lost yet!" The person, who had been touched on a sore spot, shouted out. "I haven't lost."

"Knowing yourself and the enemy is the way to win a hundred battles - yet, you seem like a frog at the bottom of a well, seeing only the sky above your head."

"Third Young Master, when we first cooperated, you didn't say this. You promised to help us eradicate the dissidents and support our Wang Family."

"Hmm, I said it and did it, but you ended up disappointing people." Xiao Mu adjusted his cup, looking at the person before him, he couldn't help but start to sympathize with this person, who was merely an empty shell beneath a facade of arrogance.

"We can still continue to work together."

"Do you have anything left that's worth collaborating with me on?" Xiao Mu chuckled. "Do you have anything left to exchange on equal terms with me now?"

Fatty Wang fell into silence, and Xiao Mu squinted his eyes. "'Dharma Seal of Rescue and Joy'!"

"Like that!" A trace of a difficult expression appeared on Xiao Mu's calm face.

"I can exchange the Wang Family's heirloom with you, Third Young Master, what do you think?"

"State your terms."

"I want to secure my position in the Wang Family. Additionally, I want that recording tape, and finally, I want Xiao Lin dead."

Heheheh! Xiao Mu staggered as he stood up, both hands bracing against the tea table. "No one has ever dared to propose so many exchange conditions in front of me for a single item; you really want my brother's life that badly?"

"Third Young Master, it's not the first time you've made such a decision, I don't see anything wrong with it." Fatty Wang, as if he found new leverage, straightened up in front of Xiao Mu. "'Dharma Seal of Rescue and Joy' has been with our Wang Family for generations, with its market trade value being several billion at least. Do you know the value behind its utility?"

Xiao Mu listened intently to Fatty Wang's exposition. When people are complacent, they tend to speak more. "Legend has it, anyone who obtains the 'Dharma Seal of Rescue and Joy' can become the leader of all the world's gangster organizations, symbolizing endless power and authority."

Xiao Mu clapped his hands, harboring a strange respect for Fatty Wang. "Well said, then I suppose since you possess such a good item, you don't need me to intervene. Once the Dharma Seal is out, naturally, there will be people willing to fight for you, won't they?"

"You..." Fatty Wang arrogantly pointed at Xiao Mu, his breath catching in his chest, his face flushed red with anger.

"The 'Dharma Seal of Rescue and Joy' without something equivalent to match is merely an ornament, a useless piece. You can only choose one of your three conditions to replace."

"The recording tape!" Fatty Wang instinctively responded.

"Ah, the evidence that could send you to the execution platform?" Xiao Mu noted that this person wasn't entirely foolish. "Currently, the one managing the Underworld is one of Xiao Lin's five sons. Your choice is wise. If you had chosen to have him killed, then you'd be supplying my brother with a cushion. I'm sure they would hunt you to the ends of the earth."

"Five sons?" Fatty Wang had never heard of this title and didn't know who they were.

"That's why I say you're a frog at the bottom of a well. You can leave now!" Xiao Mu impatiently issued an order to leave. "You know my habits!"

"Give me some time, and I'll get the item to you!"

The Wang Family's heirloom naturally wasn't in his hands but was worshipped somewhere by a few uncles, and he'd have to inquire from his old man before taking any action.

"Time waits for no one. If you come to me after they find the recording tape, even with the 'Dharma Seal of Rescue and Joy,' I won't be interested in taking on the task."

The heavy slamming of the door elated Xiao Mu. The previous drunkenness was now entirely gone. He was quite certain Fatty Wang would bring the Dharma Seal to him, a man willing to sell even his family was perhaps meaningless.

"Master, I want to meet this Xiao Lin." The fiery figure drifted out like a ghost, her weapon never leaving her hand. "Nightmare and Human Skin Granny both fell at his hands, and it's said that DOMO73895 once appeared in the undercity. I think..."

"Go ahead! But remember, you're going to test him, not kill him!" Xiao Mu had a reason for suddenly changing his mind, knowing full well this woman couldn't possibly win, but when it came to Xiao Lin, different thoughts emerged.

"Yes!" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to vote at Qidian (qidian.com) with recommendation votes or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
