Having settled Old Ghost, it was time to tabulate their rewards…
“Brother Dali, take a sit!” Tianyi’s worship for Hong Dali now was really unstoppable. Towards a person who dared to beat up a Galaxy Aristocrat, no matter how arrogant Tianyi was, he wouldn’t dare to offend him. Tianyi carried over a high-quality sofa embedded with gold and silver, placed it behind Hong Dali, then stood at one side.
Hong Dali wasn’t courteous and directly sat down.
Therefore, the scene now was really shocking. This hall occupied a space of 6,400 square meters and only Hong Dali was sitting on the sofa, just like the emperors of ancient times.
And on the floor in front of him, there were as much as 60 plus people laying there, including Lizard Man’s 13 cross-practice, and Old Ghost’s 50 plus men.
Then, on Hong Dali’s left-hand side, Fifth Lord and the other three were standing there, sweating profusely—Lizard Man was already beaten and dragged to death. On his right-hand side were Elentina and her five female attendants.
Behind Hong Dali was Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, Zhang Yi, the nine lackeys, and Lucifer.
Far in front of Hong Dali were the 500 plus people who came down to enjoy the show.
If Hong Dali had a cigar in his mouth now, this scene could be filmed into a very classic underworld movie, and the name of this movie would definitely be called “The Godfather”. Then, he would receive awards like Milky Way Shenluo Golden Award or something…
“Xiaoyi.” Hong Dali snapped his finger and his lead lackey Ling Xiaoyi instantly walked up. Ling Xiaoyi tried hard to hold in her laughter and with a solemn expression, respectfully said, “Young Master, tell me your instructions.”
Yup, she definitely had to play along at such a moment. If she really laughed, that would really destroy the atmosphere.
“Xiaoyi.” Hong Dali sniffled, half-closed his eyes, and said, “Count how much we gained today. I remember that I won quite a number of things…”
“Okay, Young Master.” Ling Xiaoyi cleared her throat and, under the raised ears of everyone else, started to read: “Today’s gains include—cash, 35 million. Meizhi Casino, equivalent to 35 million dollars. Come Again Pub, equivalent to 12 million dollars. One commercial office building, equivalent to eight million dollars. Large-scale comprehensive entertainment restaurant, with a real ice rink on the first floor, billiard hall on the second floor, concert hall on the third floor, dining and supermarket on the fourth floor, equivalent to 21 million dollars. One business building, equivalent to 24 million dollars. One clothing factory equivalent to 17 million dollars.”
After finishing her report on these estates, Ling Xiaoyi said, “This time, we gained total estates worth 152 million dollars.”
After she said this, everyone was astonished.
Firstly, the place went entire quiet. Then, the place completely erupted—
“God, he earned 150 million-plus in such a short while? This… This is really…”
“This is unimaginable, 152 million Galaxy Dollars in just one bet! God, please drop a gold bar and smash me to death with it, I don’t want to live anymore!”
“People will really die when compared to other people. Speaking of which, when Young Master came here, wasn’t he here to squander?”
Tianyi was completely stunned from hearing all of these as well.
What situation is this? What’s with those estates worth 152 million? Could it be that these people all changed professions and became philanthropists? So they gave their estates to Hong Dali for free?
Now, Tianyi admired Hong Dali wholeheartedly, with a tendency of becoming Hong Dali’s lackey too. Even Li Yang sensed a strong sense of danger from him and subconsciously moved closer to Hong Dali…
Even Fifth Lord and the other three were covered in sweat and felt pain upon hearing this figure. After all, this wasn’t a small figure. Unexpectedly, Hong Dali didn’t look surprised at all. The fact was that he really wasn’t surprised. Being insensitive to numbers, he only said, “This is quite an average reward, but it’s good enough…”
What the heck! In his mouth, these estates that are worth so much that they are only just good enough!?
Actually, it was really just good enough. For Hong Dali, if he managed to squander all of these estates, he could only gain 152 attribute points, which really wasn’t much…
Then, Ling Xiaoyi didn’t forget to mention. “Oh right, Young Master, I asked just now. That mafia called Old Ghost has 16 streets for his territory. About 40 plus kilometers in diameter, this is considered to be quite a large territory.”
“Yup, not bad.” Hong Dali grinned, looked at Fifth Lord, and said, “Oh right, you are Fifth Lord, right? How big is your territory?”
What the heck, what else could he say at such a moment. If Fifth Lord’s sweat was squeezed out from his clothes, it was probably enough for a bath. Even an Honorary Aristocrat had to suck up to this Young Master, what else could he say? Fifth Lord dispiritedly said, “My territory is slightly smaller compared to Old Ghost, with about 14 streets. That should be about 30 plus kilometers in diameter…”
This was his foundation. Now that it looked like he would be losing it, Fifth Lord did indeed felt that it was more heartbreaking than taking his life.
But whatever the case, his decision just now was still quite correct, he didn’t offend this Young Master too much. If not, Old Ghost would be his example now—this was at least a consolation to him.
Whilst Fifth Lord was feeling heartache and with a face that looked like dying, Hong Dali touched his chin and, like giving away a pie worth only two dollars, casually said, “Yup, then from now on, you are in charge of Old Ghost’s territory too.”
“Okay…” Fifth Lord listlessly answered, then very quickly recovered!
Old Ghost’s territory belongs to me from now on!? I am in charge of them now!?
This wasn’t a small matter. Although luck knocked onto his head, Fifth Lord didn’t dare to agree just like that. He hesitated and asked, “Young Master, am I really in charge of his territory from now on?”
“That’s right.” Hong Dali said, “I am not planning to enter the underworld, so why keep it? Remember, manage it well, I have requirements from you too. If you don’t meet them, be careful that I will put you into a sack and throw you into the sea to feed the fishes!”
“Thank you, My Lord!” By now, what else could Fifth Lord say? He directly said, “From now on, I will do whatever you tell me to do!”
“Don’t bootlick me.” Hong Dali sniffled and slowly said, “Listen carefully. I don’t care what you do with the territory, but if you dare to touch the old, the weak, the sick, the handicapped, and the pregnant, I will chop off one of your fingers each time you try! Also, ask your men to be obedient and learn well. When they have nothing to do, help the grannies cross the road or something, feed the stray cats and dogs when they see them too! Do you hear me!”
Fifth Lord’s eyes almost popped out.
We are the underworld, the underworld! You actually asked the underworld members to help grannies cross the road? And take care of stray cats and dogs!?
No matter what the case was, Hong Dali’s words were like the imperial edict now, Fifth Lord didn’t dare to reject at all and thanked Hong Dali again. Then, instantly, his net worth seemed to have doubled and felt really different from before.
After arranging finish Fifth Lord’s territory, Hong Dali looked towards Elentina.
This woman seemed to have the potential of becoming a playgirl. The most crucial thing was that she could be considered to be a standard mature woman, and she seemed to be a widow too. Whatever the case, the be blunt, this woman wouldn’t cherish her own body.
Hong Dali definitely wouldn’t interfere with her private life, he wasn’t so desperate for women. Even if he was, he wouldn’t choose someone like Elentina. All of the women beside him now were of top-quality, wasn’t it? Tang Muxin’s purity, Li Nianwei’s elder sisterly demeanor, Zhang Yi’s shyness, and even Lin Chuyin were also very distinctive too. All of them would win over Elentina in terms of looks and figure. Therefore, Hong Dali’s mindset was that, since he had already agreed to invest in her pub previously, he should stick to it even if he only invested a little bit.
Therefore, Hong Dali touched his chin, thought for a while, and suddenly said, “Well, Boss…”
“Young Master!” Elentina was scared till her face turned pale and said, “I don’t dare to be called a boss in front of you. Just call me Elentina, this sounds better…” After saying this, Elentina’s whole body was almost drenched in sweat.
Hong Dali was an emperor-like character. If a little pub owner like her was called boss by the Young Master, her lifespan would be decreased because of this!
“Alright.” Hong Dali wasn’t concerned about such stuff at all. “We agreed previously that I will invest in your pub. But I don’t have any good ideas, mainly because I didn’t have time to think about it. Why don’t you take a look at the estates that Xiaoyi mentioned just now and see if there’s any that is of use to you? Just tell me, there’s no need to be courteous.”
“Ah? The estates?” Elentina was very perturbed. She carefully said, “Out of those mentioned just now, only that Come Again pub and the office building beside my pub…” Speaking up to this point, she felt that she was asking for too much and hurriedly shook her head. “No no no, I am just mentioning this casually, just casually…”
“The office building beside your pub? That’s good.” Hearing this, Hong Dali’s eyes instantly shone and he violently slapped his leg. Then, he looked at Fifth Lord and asked, “Whose estates are these?”
Fifth Lord’s head was full of sweat as he said, “Young Master, these two estates, they are… They both belong to that Old Lizard that you beat out and dragged to death…”
“His?” Hong Dali laughed and said, “It’s simple, then.” Then, his next words caused everyone present to become astonished.
“Smash them to the ground.” Hong Dali humphed and said, “Smash all of them! Demolish these two structures, then demolish Elentina’s pub too. After that, build a larger pub. Just name it Dali Pub!”
Upon hearing this, everyone stared with their eyes wide.
These two pubs and the office building were all very lucrative estates! And now, he wanted to demolish them? Then rebuild into one pub!?
What the heck, was there anyone who squandered like that!?
