Heng Yun Casino was a huge building with three five-story wooden buildings. There were also more than a dozen independent courtyards arranged in a row.
Liaohun brought Zhou Fu to the depths of the casino. He chose the quietest place and arranged for two maids and a manservant to serve him.
After everything was arranged, Liaohun was about to bid farewell to Zhou Fu at the entrance of the courtyard when five people came from the side.
The leader was a sturdy middle-aged man. Judging from his appearance, he wasn't younger than Wang Feng, but his physique was bigger than Wang Feng's.
His black clothes were pushed up by his towering muscles, making him look quite ferocious.
"Oh, if it isn't Manager Liao."
Seeing the person, Liaohun's expression changed. He bowed slightly and said, "Liaohun greets Hall Master Tie."
Then he turned to Zhou Fu and introduced, "Young Master, this is Hall Master Tie of the Red Sea gang, Iron Tiger. In the underworld, he is known as the Soul Severing Saber."
"Hahahaha, what Soul Severing Saber? It's just a rumor. Don't take it seriously."
Iron Tiger laughed and waved his hand indifferently. He looked at Zhou Fu and asked, "And this is?"
"Oh, this is the eldest son of my family's Master, Zhou Fu."
Zhou Fu cupped his hands towards Iron Tiger and said, "Junior Zhou Fu greets Hall Master Tie."
Iron Tiger was surprised and said with a smile, "Young Master Zhou is too polite. Are you here to play today?"
This sentence made Liaohun frown. He had told Iron Tiger that Zhou Fu was coming. Now it seemed that he was here to cause trouble.
Before Zhou Fu could speak, Liaohun explained, "Hall Master Tie, you misunderstood. My Young Master is here to manage things."
Hearing this, Iron Tiger didn't feel anything, but the expressions of the four people behind him suddenly changed. They looked a little angry.
"Manager Liao, you're exaggerating. I'm just here to see the world. Don't put me on a pedestal, hahahaha!"
Zhou Fu didn't want to take over this mess. The Iron Tiger in front of him didn't look like a good person, so it was better to be a coward.
Come to think of it, he wasn't here to fight for power and profit. He just wanted to level up and gain proficiency, and then go out to see the world.
Iron Tiger was very surprised by Zhou Fu's answer. According to the rumors, Zhou Fu was a standard hedonistic son of rich parents, and his temperament was unpredictable.
Now that he had met her, she seemed to be a little different from the rumors. It could be said that there was no relationship at all.
Iron Tiger laughed and changed the topic, "This old man still has some things to deal with, so I won't stay any longer. Goodbye."
After the few people left, Liaohun said softly, "Young Master, Iron Tiger is the hall master of the Red Sea gang. He and his subordinates are all vicious people. It's best if you don't provoke them."
Zhou Fu nodded, then asked, "Manager Liao, who is this Red Sea gang?"
"This … If Young Master wants to know, it's better to ask Master."
It seemed that it was impossible to get information from Manager Liao, so he said, "Alright, then I'll go rest first. Manager Liao, please go ahead."
…
"Hall Master, what do you think this Zhou Dacai means?
He actually let his good-for-nothing son manage the casino? "
"Can't you see what he means?"
Iron Tiger threw a piece of meat into his mouth and sneered, "I heard that Zhou Dacai isn't having a good time recently. A batch of important goods has been robbed, and some people are getting restless. I guess he's letting his only son hide from the disaster."
"What!"
"This Fatty Zhou!"
"This Zhou Dacai has guts!"
In an instant, the room was in an uproar. Tie Hu's followers were arguing angrily.
"Shut up!
What are you arguing about! "
The chaotic noise made Iron Tiger irritated.
"Hall Master, we can't just be the mother of a little bastard."
"That's right, that's right!"
"If that little Fatty Zhou causes trouble again, won't we have to clean up his mess?
No, no, make him get lost. "
"That's right!
Make him get lost. "
Bang!
Iron Tiger slapped the table, and the room instantly quieted down.
"All of you, shut up!"
He looked at his four trusted aides, two of whom were his nephews, with resentment for their failure to live up to his expectations.
"It's all because of you!"
His words made them puzzled. "Us?
How can we be involved in this? "
"Why?"
A powerful aura rushed out of Iron Tiger's body, and the four people were shocked and broke out in cold sweat. This fierce and solid aura made them feel like a bloody knife in front of them.
"How many benefits did you get from the casino, openly and secretly?"
The four people's faces turned pale, and their legs went soft, and they all knelt down.
"Humph!
Do you think Fatty Zhou's benefits can be taken casually?
A bunch of good-for-nothings! "
"Hall Master, what should we do?
Are we just going to be the mother of little Fatty Zhou? "
Although he was in the wrong, Iron Tiger didn't want to find a job for himself. He pondered for a while, and then looked up and said, "That's easy!
Since Fatty Zhou didn't say it clearly, we don't have to help that kid. "
The four people in the room looked at each other, and they all saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
"Then are we going to take care of it or not?"
"Good-for-nothings!
Are your brains filled with cat piss?
I told you to learn more, but none of you lived up to my expectations! "
Looking at the awkward smiles on their faces, Iron Tiger felt a headache coming. If these people weren't obedient and loyal, they would have already left.
They saw that Iron Tiger didn't speak, so they carefully asked, "Hall Master, please give us a straightforward answer."
"Sigh …" Iron Tiger sighed, "As long as it's in the casino, we will take care of it. Once it's half a step out of the casino, we won't care."
"Wonderful!"
"Hall Master is the Hall Master!
Wise! "
"That's right!"
The atmosphere in the room became lively again, but Iron Tiger's expression was very uncomfortable, as if he was constipated.
…
After living in the small courtyard, everything outside had nothing to do with Zhou Fu.
Here, he was the nominal manager of the Zhou family. Except for the power of the Red Sea gang, everyone else had to listen to his orders.
When the old manager, Liaohun, saw that Zhou Fu was cultivating like his life depended on it, he had someone open a door near the small courtyard's kitchen, and sent a special cook to wait for orders at any time.
Zhou Fu saw all of this, and he was very satisfied, especially when he was provided with medicinal cuisine during meals.
"Manager Liao is really worthy of being called an elder of the Zhou family. He's so f * cking meticulous."
Liaohun, who was standing to the side, smiled when he heard this. Although he didn't know what "meticulous" meant, he could tell from Zhou Fu's expression that he was praising him.
"Young Master, you flatter me. This is what I should do."
Liaohun said very flattering words. Coupled with his temperament, he seemed to have the demeanor of a high-class manager. He was much better than his previous lackey coachman. The difference was like heaven and earth.
However, since the last incident, his coachman had disappeared. He didn't ask much, and it was most likely that his father had taken care of him.
Seeing that Zhou Fu had finished eating, Liaohun asked, "Young Master, do you have any plans for the afternoon?"
According to the rules of the gambling house industry, business began in the afternoon and reached its peak in the evening. As the manager of the Zhou family, Zhou Fu should go and patrol.
However, for Zhou Fu, who had made up his mind to never go to work, it was impossible for him to patrol.
"Plans?
Oh, yes. "
Liaohun's expression became serious, and he quietly waited for orders.
"I won't close the courtyard's door. Remember not to let anyone disturb me."
After sending away Liaohun, Zhou Fu stood in front of the wooden stake in the courtyard. He looked at the proficiency on the attribute board and grinned. "Strength is the foundation of my standing!"
Bang bang!
The sound of hitting the wooden stake sounded again.
