"Haha! Long, you're too polite. Forget the formalities, just call me Hao."

Ye Hao said cheerfully.

Aixinjueluo Kanglong saw Ye Hao, so young yet managing things so flawlessly, and he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, thinking to himself that his son had made the right choice in following Ye Hao. Although his son was about the same age as Ye Hao, he was convinced that his son's social skills couldn't match Ye Hao's.

"Hao!" Aixinjueluo Kanglong warmly embraced Ye Hao.

Ye Hao smiled as he ushered them into the Grand Hotel, then went to the top floor to discuss business.

Ye Hao sat at the head position, with Qin Qing and Zheng Guang standing behind him. To his right sat Aixinjueluo Kanglong and Xiaolong, and to his left sat Ran Tai, Wu Gang, and the Duke of Thunder. As for Xue Zhaolong and the others, they leisurely sat on the sofa since the matters in Pakistan didn't require much of their attention.

Zhou Yang and others were stationed outside the door to prevent any interruptions.

"Tai, with Long joining us into the Grand Club, explain to him our future strategies, and how to coordinate with Long to control Karachi." Ye Hao said as he looked at Ran Tai.

Ye Hao's plan was to have Ran Tai focus on arms management here and become the leading arms dealer.

Wu Gang was arranged to join the Mude Navy, hoping that one day he could control the entire Mude Navy and further take charge of Pakistan's other military forces.

Mude didn't object to such arrangements from Ye Hao. Mude only had one daughter, with no direct descendants, so Ye Hao's placement in his Mude Navy meant that one day, when Mude stepped down, he could grant the position to Wu Gang.

As long as Wu Gang had the necessary skills and leadership qualities.

"Long, the boss's idea is for us to first control Karachi, and then let President Long manage everything here. The first chunk of funds will be transferred from our headquarters, but we hope that after the first funds arrive, President Long can truly develop in Pakistan rather than keep asking headquarters for money." Ran Tai said to Aixinjueluo Xiaolong.

Aixinjueluo Xiaolong nodded, looked toward Ye Hao, and asked, "No problem with that, but Chairman, how many people are you leaving behind?"

"Qin Qing, in the future you'll stay by Xiaolong's side, providing close protection. Additionally, Zhou Yang, Yang Ya, Peng Xin, and Tao Feng, four National Martial Arts masters, will remain in Pakistan at Xiaolong's disposal. Tai, manage the weapons in Pakistan with Mude's support. I'm confident the arms from Grand Club will echo throughout Southeast Asia." Ye Hao said.

"Got it, boss." Ran Tai nodded.

Xiaolong glanced at the others and then asked, "Chairman, what about Yang Ya and Peng Xin..."

"Haha, they're currently stationed at Submarine No.2, so they haven't come out yet. Don't worry, they'll be dispatched to you soon enough." Ye Hao laughed.

"Alright, with such skilled individuals, I believe we can soon venture into our first profitable business." Aixinjueluo Xiaolong laughed.

"Haha, you'll handle all the profit-making matters then. By the way, Xiaolong, Grand Club is providing you with thirty billion RMB, enough for the first cycle operations. I hope you won't disappoint." Ye Hao laughed, noting that twenty billion came from Grand Club, while the other ten billion was funded by his father-in-law.

"Chairman, you won't be disappointed." Thirty billion! Aixinjueluo Xiaolong shouted excitedly; it was something he hadn't even dreamed of, yet suddenly he had thirty billion, feeling as if he was dreaming.

"Hao, I'll keep reminding Xiaolong for you, don't worry." Though Aixinjueluo Kanglong was also thrilled, he was mature enough to keep his excitement in check.

"Long, it's all in your hands then. If you're facing any insurmountable pressures, let us know; Grand Club headquarters is always here. I've discussed with General Mude, and this is the plan I hastily drafted over the past few days. Xiaolong, take a look, and if no objections, begin the first cycle operations once the funds arrive." Ye Hao laughed.

"Alright, Chairman." Aixinjueluo Xiaolong nodded, feeling pressured, but believing that with effort, success was inevitable, and the Karachi division could become the primary force in Pakistan.

Ye Hao wasn't one to meddle excessively, so after setting the arrangements, he left the rest to Xiaolong.

Soon after, Ye Hao expressed his intention to leave Pakistan. Though Ran Tai and the others were reluctant, Ye Hao had his own matters to attend to, so they refrained from persuading him to stay.

As Ye Hao departed, even General Mude came to see him off, showing how much he valued Ye Hao.

Yang Ya and Peng Xin were left behind by Ye Hao.

When returning, Ye Hao only took Zheng Guang, Xue Zhaolong, Zhuorong Town, Lu Yunsong, and Flying Fish. As for Qin Qing, Zhou Yang, they stayed behind to develop Karachi.

They didn't object; in the past, they roamed freely, but now with Grand Club as their home, they would wholeheartedly stay wherever Grand Club needed them, developing Karachi for Grand Club.

"Ye, I really don't want you to leave!" General Mude stepped forward to embrace Ye Hao's shoulders; he'd truly established a brotherly bond with Ye Hao, wishing for him to stay in Karachi for everyone to meet more often.

Otherwise, who knows when they'd meet again once Ye Hao left.

"Mr. Ye." Mude's deputy, Hao Ling, also expressed a desire to keep Ye Hao.

Ye Hao waved his hand with a smile and said, "Brother Mude, Brother Hao Ling, nothing lasts forever; though we're leaving Karachi today, there's always a chance to meet again. Brother Mude, whenever you have free time, bring Brother Hao Ling to Huaxia, I'll show you around."

"Definitely, Ye, safe travels!" Mude's eyes welled with tears—such reluctance!

"Brother Mude, take care of yourself." Ye Hao also patted Mude's shoulder.

Mude nodded and then left with Hao Ling. He didn't want to witness Ye Hao's departure, fearing the sorrow.

Ye Hao watched Mude leave, feeling warmed inside. Despite initially being driven together by interests, genuine feelings had developed among them.

Aixinjueluo Xiaolong and the others wanted to say more, but Ye Hao motioned them to stop.

The Duke of Thunder came to Ye Hao's side and handed him a note, saying: "Boss, I hope you can go to Treasure Island and bring my sister back; this is her address."

"Rest assured, focus on building your reputation here. Tai is swamped with the arms business, you need to step up." Ye Hao instructed.

"I understand, boss. Safe travels." The Duke of Thunder replied.

"Safe travels!" Ran Tai and the others all shouted.

Ye Hao nodded, then joined Xue Zhaolong and the others, diving into the Hebu River to board Submarine No.2 and depart. (To be continued.
