"Oh? Does General Guang have any ideas?" Yale Hei asked with a smile, eager to hear what Guangtou had in mind.

"Karachi, a coastal city, is one of Pakistan's more developed cities, but it's also the most populous city in Pakistan. The most developed areas of this city are in the east and north, but our Yale faction has no share in either side. This time, I attacked the Muhan faction to wipe them out in one go, or to reclaim them, and then build up enough forces to strike at the Eight Banner Sect in the north. But unexpectedly, the Muhan faction had mercenaries in Karachi, which led to my men being killed by Mu Hanqixing. I hate it! My troops, numbering in the thousands, have been wasted just like that," Guangtou said, his face sullen and full of sorrow.

Seeing this, Yale Hei patted Guangtou on the shoulder and comforted him, "General Guang, it's all in the past, don't dwell on it. When we one day capture the eastern region, you'll still be the overlord of the east."

Even though Yale Hei said this, if that day really came, he would definitely replace all of Guangtou's men with his own, making Guangtou work for him for free. He would be happy to have a master like Guangtou to assist him.

"I'm fine, Black General, don't comfort me. I've accepted my fate with today's outcome, and I have no more ambitions. I just want a stable place to live. Let's get to business, Black General," Guangtou said.

"Please, General Guang," Yale Hei nodded with a smile, indicating for Guangtou to share his thoughts on Karachi.

"Black General, what do you think is Aixinjueluo Kanglong's weakness?" Guangtou asked.

"Weakness?" Yale Hei asked, puzzled, then continued, "Is it his drugs? If we cut off his drugs, wouldn't he have no business to develop?"

"Yes, but not quite, because the drugs are sent from their headquarters. It's too difficult to seize them, but we have another shortcut," Guangtou said with a sly smile.

"What shortcut?" Yale Hei asked with interest, looking at Guangtou.

"Aixinjueluo Kanglong's son, Aixinjueluo Xiaolong," Guangtou hinted without saying more, playing psychological tactics with Yale Hei.

If Yale Hei was unwilling to take the risk, they would wait a few days until the people of the Eight Banner Sect believed Guangtou had truly defected to Yale Hei, and then let Guangtou seize Aixinjueluo Xiaolong. Of course! If Yale Hei wasn't afraid of the Eight Banner Sect and directly allowed Guangtou to capture Aixinjueluo Xiaolong, it would be even better.

Because this way, Guangtou can lay out all the evidence in the open, and as long as the Eight Banner Sect isn't foolish, they would see through it.

"Does General Guang want me to take action against someone else's family? Hmph! General Guang, you've disappointed me. I, Yale Hei, value territory and profit, but I would never harm someone else's family," Yale Hei directly rejected Guangtou's idea upon hearing it.

Though he was not above using any means, he would rather abandon territory and no longer compete than engage in such things as capturing family members to threaten others.

"Black General, these words aren't... "

"No need to say more. No matter what, I, Yale Hei, am a man. I would never do such a thing. If General Guang brings this up again, then my Yale faction isn't suitable for you. Feel free to leave!" Yale Hei said, flicking his hand and snorting before leaving.

At the Grand Hotel headquarters, Ye Hao also learned of Yale Hei's character immediately.

Ye Hao mused to himself that it seemed this Yale Hei was indeed a man. He had his principles in doing things; in the underworld, one never harms another's family.

Although Ye Hao appreciated someone like Yale Hei, his plans remained unchanged.

However, Ye Hao altered his strategy. Capturing Aixinjueluo Xiaolong was not to incite fighting between the Eight Banner Sect and the Yale Hei faction but to let Guangtou take the entire blame himself, and then have Grand Hotel step in to rescue Aixinjueluo Xiaolong.

Then have Guangtou confess that everything was his idea and had nothing to do with Yale Hei.

Ye Hao might have been extreme in certain matters, but he still admired people like Yale Hei, so he didn't want Yale Hei to die so soon.

Ye Hao had another idea, which was to gradually develop Ran Tai and others in Karachi and slowly reclaim them.

Ye Hao believed that with the assistance of General Mude, controlling all of Karachi shouldn't be difficult for Ran Tai.

Time flew by, and it had been two days since the Eight Banner Sect and Yale Hei split the world in two. For those two days, Grand Hotel's people monitored Aixinjueluo Xiaolong, ready to react to any movement.

On the third night, Ye Hao held a meeting with the senior members of Grand Hotel in Pakistan.

In the meeting, it was unanimously decided to have Guangtou capture Aixinjueluo Xiaolong, and when the Eight Banner Sect was about to make a move against Yale Hei, Grand Hotel would visit Aixinjueluo Kanglong of the Eight Banner Sect.

At that time, negotiate with Aixinjueluo Kanglong to have the eastern region occupied by Grand Hotel, while allowing the Eight Banner Sect to sell drugs, each developing their own forces and not interfering with each other.

If the Eight Banner Sect disagreed, then Ye Hao would destroy them. After all, Grand Hotel had the capability to do so.

Although the world was no longer a place where might alone prevails, being strong was still useful at times, particularly in Karachi, Pakistan.

...

Guangtou stayed in the Yale Hei faction for three days, behaving himself. The Yale Hei faction's people had let their guard down around him.

However, on this night, Guangtou quietly left the northwest region and headed north.

He did so because Ye Hao had Qianqian issue an order, then went to capture Aixinjueluo Xiaolong.

The matter was not complicated at all. Aixinjueluo Xiaolong was a proud young man who had not guarded against anyone and had no experts around him, so Guangtou captured Aixinjueluo Xiaolong in one move.

After Aixinjueluo Xiaolong was captured, his calm demeanor and expression of having expected it all made Ye Hao very interested in him.

To encounter danger at such a young age and remain calm, observing silently, and even appearing as if everything was within his control.

This kind of person either had the skill to know someone was targeting him or understood why Guangtou and the Muhan faction were fighting.

Or he was just a fool pretending to be mysterious to garner attention.

Ye Hao thought that Aixinjueluo Xiaolong being touted by his Harvard mentors as not a man of mediocrity was probably not an exaggeration. He might indeed have guessed something, hence his expression of anticipation.

Thinking this, Ye Hao grew interested in meeting Aixinjueluo Xiaolong to see what he was truly capable of. (To be continued.
