Chapter 404 - 5

287  Otherwise, you will eventually be stepped on by others.

  Chen Jie is now a chess piece, so he must follow the instructions of the chess player in Mianshui County. Of course, Nan Batian also has to follow the instructions of the chess player.

  So, these two people who each regarded each other as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh maintained harmony in this strange way.

  Chen Jie would come to report to Nan Batian regularly every month and say hello. Nan Batian would also put on a hypocritical smile when he saw Chen Jie. He even praised Chen Jie more than once as a meritorious contributor to the fishing gang, saying that he was young and promising and would become a great man in the future!

  In fact, both sides wished the other side would die quickly, but under force majeure, they both hypocritically tried their best to conceal their friendliness.

  The result was that ordinary gang members who did not know right from wrong suddenly discovered that these two people seemed to have a very good relationship, and Chen Jiusi seemed to be highly valued by the gang leader!

  Only those who know the inner world know the true situation of the two.

  Chen Jie brought Xiaohu with him, followed by fifty White Tiger Guards wearing uniform black martial arts uniforms with white tiger heads embroidered on their chests.

  The team Chen Jie led today was the Jia Battalion of the White Tiger Guard.

  After half a year of expansion, reorganization, elimination and supplementation, the number of White Tiger Guards finally reached 150, divided into three combat camps, namely Camp A, Camp B and Camp C.

  "Hey, the White Tiger Hall is here."

  Chen Jie rode a tall horse and walked in the front, followed by Xiaohu. As soon as the group arrived at the gate of the headquarters, the guards guarding the gate immediately spoke.

  Because in the entire fishing gang, only Chen Jie's White Tiger Hall can have such an orderly appearance.

  When Chen Jie and his party arrived at the door, the guard at the door immediately came over and said, "Fifth Master, you are here."

  Chen Jie smiled and asked, "Have all the others arrived?"

  Upon hearing this, the guard said, "We are all here, just waiting for you, Fifth Master."

  Chen Jie said: "Yeah."

  As he spoke, Chen Jie winked at Xiao Hu, who immediately took out a silver ingot weighing two taels and handed it to the doorman, saying, "Buy a cup of tea."

  "Thank you, Master Tiger."

  Xiaohu has now become a master, after all, he is also a master of Hua Jin. Although he is at the bottom like Qin Hu and Qin Bao, he is also a well-known figure in Mianshui County. Besides, everyone knows that the most trusted confidant of the Fifth Master of Baihu Hall is this Chen Xiaohu, Master Hu.

  Chen Jie brought Chen Xiaohu into the main gate of the headquarters. The brothers who came with them were not allowed to enter at will and could only wait at the door.

  The two of them walked forward, and when the people at the headquarters saw Chen Jie, they all greeted him, "Fifth Master."

  "Master Chen."

  …

  Soon the group arrived at the large conference room of the fishing gang's headquarters - [Loyalty Hall! ]

  "You are late, you are late."

  Chen Jie came in, clasped his fists and said a few words of apology. At this time, everyone sitting in the conference room bowed to Chen Jie.

  Qin Ying said sarcastically: "Oh, I thought Hall Master Chen would not come today."

  After hearing this, Chen Jie ignored Qin Ying and looked at Nan Batian. Now Qin Ying was just a barking dog and there was no need to pay attention to him.

  Nan Batian cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, now that you're here, take a seat."

  Chen Jie sat down at this time, and then he saw the people attending today's meeting. The one sitting in the main seat was Nan Batian, and the first seat on his left was himself, the new leader of the White Tiger Hall.

  Sitting opposite was Qin Ying, and behind Qin Ying stood two people, Qin Hu and Qin Bao.

  The two brothers glared at Chen Jie fiercely, especially Qin Hu, who looked at Chen Jie as if he were the enemy who murdered their father. There was nothing they could do, as this buddy was still leaking something in his words.

  The tooth that was knocked out by Chen Jie last time has not grown out yet!

  It seems that it can't grow anymore.

  Qin Bao was a man who looked 70% like Qin Hu. At this time, he was standing next to Qin Hu, staring at Chen Jie with fierce eyes, but Chen Jie ignored them.

  However, Xiaohu stared at the two of them fiercely. These two guys deserved to be punished for being so rude to Brother Jiu Si!

  It just so happened that I didn't have enough fun in the last fight, so this time I'll settle both new and old grudges together.

  Xiaohu squinted his eyes and looked at them.

  You will learn the habits of your master.

  Qin Hu and Qin Bao are like Qin Ying, they like to make a lot of noise when doing things, while Xiaohu and Chen Jie have developed the habit of being rigorous and low-key. Although they hate to kill Qin Hu and Qin Bao now, they can still smile on their faces!

  Chen Jie sat down and looked around. All the people at the table were old acquaintances, who were also the top leaders and powerful figures of the fishing gang.

  Sitting on his lower left was Nan Batian's think tank, the inner hall master Tang Ziyue.

  This person is a wise man. Although his martial arts skills are not outstanding and he is only at the Iron Bone Realm, no one dares to underestimate him. He is also a man of wisdom and strategies.

  Diagonally opposite Chen Jie, sitting at Qin Ying's arm's length, was an old man with a goatee, who looked drowsy as he sat there.

  This person is not the leader of the Fishermen's Gang, but he has the highest seniority. He is the oldest in the Fishermen's Gang and is also qualified to sit down and listen to the meeting. He is Doctor Liu, the leader of the eight doctors in the Fishermen's Gang, and is known as Liu Yishou in the underworld.

  This person has a unique skill and is very accurate in diagnosing patients. Just by feeling the pulse, he can accurately diagnose any disease.

  He is also the number one doctor in Mianshui County.

  Precisely because of his seniority, Nan Batian would always invite the old man to attend meetings of this level.

  Nan Batian looked at the people at the table and said, "Everyone, now that everyone is here, let's have a meeting!"

  After Nan Batian finished saying this, everyone present became alert. Liu Yishou also tried hard to open his eyes, glanced at Nan Batian, and then put his hands in his pockets without saying a word.

  "Well, I called you all here today because I was checking the accounts recently and found some problems."

  After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and Nan Batian said, "According to the rules, each branch of the Fisherman's Gang operates independently and is responsible for its own profits and losses. As long as they pay the monthly fee on time, it's fine. But I found that the monthly fee paid by the Eagle Hall has been less than before in the past six months. What's going on?"

  Nan Batian looked at Qin Ying. After hearing this, Qin Ying slammed the table and said angrily: "Damn it, it's all because of him!"

  Qin Ying pointed at Chen Jie hatefully, his eyes full of anger.

  Chen Jie picked up the teacup and glanced at Qin Ying, saying, "Don't spit blood at me. If your Xiongying Hall can't pay the fee, what does it have to do with our Baihu Hall?"

  Qin Ying said, "You still don't admit it, you bastard? You did this on purpose. I, the Eagle Hall, will never let you go."

  "Your mouth stinks!"

  Chen Jie's eyes turned cold, and then he shook his arm, using the power of his palm to directly shake the teacup in his hand towards Qin Ying. Qin Ying was shocked when he saw the teacup flying towards him, and then he jumped up and grabbed the teacup with his right hand like an eagle claw.

  With a snap, the teacup was crushed by him, and then Qin Ying jumped up and rushed towards Chen Jie like a roc spreading its wings.

  The claws in his hands were as sharp as eagle claws and suddenly grabbed Chen Jie.

  Chen Jie was sitting on a chair at this time, his eyes slightly fixed. Xiao Hu drew his sword and was ready to attack, but Chen Jie stopped him and immediately stretched out his right hand, starting with the strongest eighth move of the Stone Breaking Hand. Chen Jie gave it a name [Dragon Catching Hand!]

  Awww...

  Qin Ying was startled by the sound of a dragon's roar, but he did not retreat. He had not been doing nothing for the past six months. After continuous practice, he had broken through from the seventh level of Blood Eagle Claw to the eighth level. Now he was not afraid of Chen Jie.

  At this time, she gritted her teeth and used the Blood Eagle Claw directly, which was a killing move against Chen Jie.

  [The Condor Heroes' Three Claws! ]

  Chen Jie looked at him attacking with his claw and directly met it with his palm.

  Awww...

  With a loud bang, the palm and claw collided, and Qin Ying felt a huge force that almost knocked him away, and he still had two claws to make.

  Just when he was about to lose, a figure suddenly approached him and grabbed Chen Jie's right hand and Qin Ying's hand with the other.

  This move seems fair, but in fact, grabbing Chen Jie's hand is to prevent Chen Jie from attacking, and grabbing Qin Ying's hand is to prevent Qin Ying from making a fool of himself. It seems fair, but in fact it is biased.

  Chen Jie remained calm, and Qin Ying's face lit up with joy.

  He did not dare to use force with Chen Jie outside the headquarters, but he was not afraid at all inside the headquarters because he had Nan Batian backing him up.

  Moreover, the action was instructed by Nan Batian. He also wanted to know how strong Chen Jie had become in the past six months.

  After this test, he had an idea in mind.

  And what about Chen Jie?

  In fact, he also understood that Qin Ying's action must have been instructed by Nan Batian. Nan Batian wanted to test his strength, and he also wanted to test Nan Batian's strength.

  With the previous attack, Chen Jie also tested Nan Batian's strength.

  Stronger than yourself.

  Chen Jie looked at his right wrist, which was covered with fine frost. You have to know that it is not winter yet, and it is not yet the point where your breath turns into frost. However, Nan Batian can actually use the mysterious ice force to generate ice power. This is very terrifying and beyond the reach of ordinary people.

  Moreover, his internal strength was so strong that Chen Jie felt a lot of pressure. If Chen Jie only relied on his current martial arts attainments such as the Stone-Breaking Hand, the Water-Controlling Palm, and the Yangchun Jue, he would definitely not be able to defeat Nan Batian.

  But if he used the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, Chen Jie felt that he should be only slightly inferior to Nan Batian.

  It would not be easy for him to kill himself. If he fought to the death, Chen Jie estimated that he would be killed, and Nan Batian would also be a cripple.

  Both sides suffer losses, but I will suffer more.

  I still haven't practiced for too short a time. Although I have various elixirs to assist me, Nan Batian also has an endless supply of elixirs. As the leader of the Fishing Gang, the resources he can obtain are more than Chen Jie.

  This old guy is not easy to deal with.

  Chen Jie was thinking, and Nan Batian also looked at Chen Jie at this time, his eyes full of shock. How could Chen Jiusi's progress be so fast!

  Chen Jiusi is only eighteen years old, but the palm power he just displayed has reached the level of Peng Shizhong, or even exceeded it. What kind of talent is this?

  He is too strong, we must not keep him!

  If he were given another ten years to develop, I would probably not be his match!

  Nan Batian looked at Chen Jie, his eyes full of fear.

  He is like an old wolf in the pack, and Chen Jie is like a new wolf. The aging of the old wolf is an opportunity for the new wolf to take over. Both of them understand that there will definitely be a fight.

  Thinking of this, Chen Jie and Nan Batian looked at each other.

  Then Nan Batian angrily said, "What are you two doing? Do you still act like the leader of a gang? You took action during the meeting. Do you still take me, the gang leader, seriously?"

  "Why, you all think you've grown powerful, right? Do you want me to give up the position of gang leader to you?"

  "Qin Ying!"

  "I know I was wrong."

  After hearing this, Qin Ying immediately bowed and apologized.

  Nan Batian turned around and looked at Chen Jie again and said, "Chen Jiusi."

  "I know I was wrong."
