Chapter 86 This is the real plan
"It's you!"
Upon seeing Ye Tian sitting in a chair inside the room, Chi Hu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Chi Hu was well aware of the name of Young Master Ye Tian, having seen him before when he was working under Lei Tang.
They never expected that someone they had once looked down upon would rise to the position of leader faster than them, and now appear before them in this way.
Chi Hu's expression shifted for a while before he spoke in a deep voice.
"What do you want to do?"
Without rushing to answer, he first waved his hand, signaling the eagle and the feathered bird to loosen the red tiger's grip.
Then he looked at Red Tiger and said.
"It's not about what I want to do, but what you want to do—to die or to live?"
"..."
Being threatened is definitely not a pleasant feeling.
Now that he had finally managed to occupy half of Wang Hu's original territory, and with Lei Tang's incident, a leader's position had also become vacant. Even if he couldn't become the hall master, he could still be a leader, right?
Red Tiger naturally didn't want to die at this time.
How can I survive?
As expected, he's someone who knows how to seize opportunities. A slight smile appeared on Ye Tian's lips.
"It's very simple. Do one thing for me, and once you do it, everything that Lei Tang used to own can be yours."
"..."
Wealth can be very tempting.
Those who venture into the underworld are all driven by money. The reason they opposed Lei Tang in the past was ultimately because Lei Tang blocked their path to wealth.
Chi Hu was smart. He didn't question Ye Tian. His life was in Ye Tian's hands now, so questioning was pointless. Instead, he spoke directly.
"You want to take the position of hall master, don't you?"
Ye Tian is currently also a leader, so he is naturally qualified to compete for the vacant position of hall master.
"You want me to work for you?"
At this point, Chi Hu still had some mixed feelings.
How long have I been a member of the Blackwater Gang? How long has Ye Tian been a member? He's already competing for the position of Hall Master, while I'm still stuck as a boxer.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Damn it, that idiot Lei Tang should have been killed a long time ago.
"Hahaha!"
Ye Tian smiled. Chi Hu was indeed clever, but not that clever.
"I am indeed going to take the position of hall master, but I don't want you to follow me. Instead, I want you to work for the Jade Buddha."
"Jade Buddha?"
Red Tiger's eyes widened in surprise.
Red Tiger certainly knows who the Jade Buddha is.
He's the strongest leader under Sen Lao, even surpassing Lei Tang from before.
Chi Hu believed he had some strength. If he followed Yu Fo, would anyone be able to compete with Yu Fo for the position of hall master?
Seeing Chi Hu's astonishment, Ye Tian simply smiled and offered no explanation.
"Don't worry about anything else, just do this. You can even take the original boxers under Lei Tang with you to follow the Jade Buddha, as many as you can."
"Don't worry, I won't mistreat my own people. I'll even take good care of your wife and children, whom you've settled outside Linshui City."
"You!" Ye Tian said casually, but Chi Hu's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.
I had hidden this so well, yet Ye Tian still managed to find out.
Saying they'll take care of me is just a threat.
In fact, Ye Tian was able to find out about this thanks to the Money Rat.
They would never have imagined that Chi Hu, a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world) man, already had a wife and children, though Chi Hu had arranged for them to live outside Linshui City.
"..."
After a long silence, Chi Hu nodded.
"I understand, but if anything happens to my wife and children, I will not let you off the hook."
"Don't worry, you should know my reputation as Young Master Yu. I won't mistreat my own people."
Damn it, what a load of rubbish reputation.
Instead of believing in your unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, believe that I am the Jade Emperor.
After giving a brief explanation, Ye Tian left with his men.
Red Tiger sat in his room, his eyes darting around, having not slept all night.
Although I don't understand Ye Tian's purpose in doing this, going to seek refuge with the Jade Buddha seems like a good choice.
Let's take a step by step.
,,,
"Don't understand?"
On the way back, after Ye Tian had already left, Mei Yongning would occasionally glance at him, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Before Mei Yongning could speak, Ye Tian calmly asked the question.
"Um!"
Mei Yongning did not deny it.
He nodded and then spoke directly.
"Brother, Jade Buddha already wields considerable power. If he were to gain the support of Red Tiger and the others, no one would be able to challenge him for the position of Hall Master!"
Mei Yongning is intelligent, but his way of thinking is still limited by the current era.
Ye Tian could naturally think of this kind of problem; in fact, it was precisely because he had thought of it that he made this arrangement.
"You knew the Jade Buddha was unstoppable, but didn't the other two leaders think of that?"
Yaksha and Benlongshou's forces are weaker than Jade Buddha's, but it's not to say they have no chance at all. However, if Red Tiger and other former members of Lei Tang follow Jade Buddha's news and spread it...
The two must have realized that without resorting to underhanded tactics, they would have no chance of becoming the head of the hall.
"I see."
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Mei Yongning immediately realized the significance of Ye Tian's actions.
Their eyes lit up.
"As expected of the eldest brother, that's a brilliant tactic!"
If it were me, I probably wouldn't have thought of such a method.
"Alright, make proper arrangements when you get back. During this period, all you need to do is build up the momentum for the Jade Buddha."
As for what kind of momentum they're creating...
Is there even a question? Of course, we want everyone to feel that no one but the Jade Buddha can hold the position of Hall Master.
"clear!"
Mei Yongning smiled knowingly, and many plans came to mind.
,,,
Red Tiger kept his word.
The very next day, he took several of Lei Tang's original manager boxers and went to join the Jade Buddha.
These people aren't stupid. The Jade Buddha already had considerable influence, and with the Red Tiger leading the way, they didn't need much persuasion; they just came along.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
As his name suggests, Yu Fo is as fat as Maitreya Buddha, and when he laughs, his whole body of fat jiggles.
"Alright, alright! Don't worry, as long as I have food to eat, I won't treat you badly."
Jade Buddha naturally wouldn't refuse the addition of Red Tiger and the others.
Now, at this crucial moment, with so many more people joining, who can compete with me for the position of hall master?
She was laughing so hard her eyes were almost closed.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will serve you to the death from now on."
"That's right. If Buddha tells us to go east, we will never go west."
The group of boxers were all flattering him, one after another. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the Jade Buddha had already taken the position of hall master.
In the crowd, Chi Hu smiled knowingly, without saying a word.
At the same time, he was also curious about why Young Master Yu had asked him to do this. Surely it couldn't be that he was really here to help the Jade Buddha.
