Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 1205 - 1274: A Grand Blueprint

"Master Lin, do you mean...?"The Eighth Prince couldn't confirm and tentatively asked.

"Opportunities in life are few, so seizing each one can provide benefits enough to change your fate. Successful people, besides being diligent and hardworking, often possess wisdom beyond others or use cunning yet honorable methods. Seizing the moment and choosing the right opportunity is also crucial."

Lin Hai spoke to himself, flicked his cigarette ash.

The Eighth Prince was silent, pondering the meaning in Lin Hai's words, while also hesitating.

"I usually only say things once."

Lin Hai threw away the cigarette butt, knocked on the table, and looked at the other person sideways.

Feeling Lin Hai's gaze, the other person's heart skipped a beat.

There was only one chance, and he didn't dare to test it again.

Either he would lose the gambling house and become like a dog with no home, or he would take a chance and see if his guess was correct. If he succeeded, he'd still be the renowned Eighth Prince of Yanjing's underground.

"He just mentioned 'the number one underground power in Yanjing'…"

This statement was full of temptation.

Successful people often have ambition that others don't. If Yun Ma, the CEO of Taobao, had been satisfied with earning millions or tens of millions, seeking enjoyment, and resting on his laurels, instead of pushing for progress, Huaxia's number one e-commerce platform might not belong to him now.

Thinking of these, the Eighth Prince felt that he would be a fool to hesitate any longer.

The other party is a Super Young Master from the Lin Family, enough to be compared with Young Master Xuanyuan and Demon Young Master, ranking in the top three.

Such a person preparing to back him was like a pie falling from the sky.

"Master Lin, forgive Eight's dullness, I was slow to respond just now. Please don't be angry, I'm willing to follow Master Lin's lead."

The Eighth Prince quickly spoke up.

After speaking, he lowered his head and closed his eyes, anxiously waiting for Lin Hai to continue.

One second

Ten seconds

One minute

Ten minutes—

The Eighth Prince was growing more anxious, even sweat started to appear on his forehead.

Several times he wanted to raise his head and ask Lin Hai.

But he didn't dare, afraid his recklessness would anger Master Lin, more afraid the opportunity would be lost in vain.

Lin Hai kept smoking cigarette after cigarette; the two Super Female Soldier Kings were returning tomorrow, and when they did, smoking opportunities would be scarce. Smoking a few more now wouldn't hurt.

Meanwhile, it also tested the Eighth Prince's endurance and patience, hehe.

Finally, thirty minutes passed.

The Eighth Prince took a deep breath, he couldn't hold it any longer.

Mainly because… keeping his head down and bending half his body was making his back ache, neck sore, not to mention his feet were going numb!

Just as the Eighth Prince opened his mouth, Lin Hai's voice suddenly rang out.

"I'm sorry, just wanted to test you for a bit." Lin Hai said.

"As I thought!" The Eighth Prince cried out inwardly.

"Your perception needs work, I've smoked several cigarettes, and you didn't even think to light one?"

"…" The Eighth Prince's mouth twitched fiercely, feeling like spitting blood; so it was a test of perception, not endurance or patience? This was too much of a trap.

"Let's get back to business. From now on, I'll support you from behind as a shareholder. You can take 1% of the casino's dividends every month and calmly help me with tasks, how about it?" Lin Hai proposed.

"Huh?"

The Eighth Prince widened his eyes, filled with disbelief and deep frustration.

1% of the casino's shares?

How much money would that be worth? He might as well just hand the casino over to Lin Hai.

"Master Lin, your methods are admirable, taking over the casino and making me work for free?" Even though the Eighth Prince feared Lin Hai's status, he couldn't help saying these words.

In his heart, a stubborn surge rose, thinking, "If it comes to it, I'll go down fighting! Even if I die, I'll show him I'm not easy to bully!"

Feeling the desperate look in the other's eyes, Lin Hai nodded, "Not bad, you have guts. A man's determination is in his bones. It shows that after all these years of mingling in the real world, you still retain what a man should have, and you deserve that 1% of shares."

"Master Lin, no need for mockery and ridicule. Maybe in your Super Young Master eyes, I'm worthless, but even small characters have their strength!" The Eighth Prince clenched his fists, ready to fight Lin Hai.

Besides, it seemed Kirin wasn't present right now, the Eighth Prince felt he could take on Lin Hai and his seemingly slender frame.

"You want to fight me?" Lin Hai asked with playful interest.

"Exactly. Like you said, even if it costs my life, I have to pull the Emperor off his horse!" The Eighth Prince was already poised to attack.

Lin Hai casually waved his hand, placed it on the table.

Crack—

The table suddenly shattered into powder.

Not just splitting apart, but directly into powder.

The Eighth Prince's pupils changed again, this…

He couldn't even see how Lin Hai did it, just a gentle touch, and he reduced the table to powder?

Moreover, the table was his own, clearly impossible for Lin Hai to tamper with.

It meant Lin Hai indeed turned it to powder.

"Hehe, you should know about Gang Qi? When Gang Qi reaches a certain level, it can do this." Lin Hai smiled, dusting off the ash and wooden fragments from his hand.

The Eighth Prince swallowed hard, "To my knowledge, even a Super First-class Expert can't do that."

"Hehe, are Super First-class Experts really that strong?"

"Super First-class is already very strong. I have two bodyguards who are Super First-class Experts, hired at an annual salary of tens of millions." The Eighth Prince himself had the power of only a Second-rank.

"In the international world, a Super First-class is just a fledgling." Lin Hai smiled and explained.

The Eighth Prince's heart skipped again, he tentatively asked, "Master Lin is stronger than Super First-class?"

"Hehe, Eight, let's not exaggerate or downplay, even Supreme Strong must weigh their options in front of me, let alone in vast Yanjing, what Supreme would dare challenge a Young Master of the Lin Family?"

The Eighth Prince inhaled sharply again.

Though Lin Hai didn't say it outright, he understood that Lin Hai was at least at the Supreme Strong level, perhaps even stronger.

In an instant, any thoughts of mutual destruction with Lin Hai vanished completely.

The Eighth Prince sighed deeply, "I beseech Master Lin to spare me, I don't want the 1% shares."

"Hehe, do you know what I meant about the casino just now?"

Lin Hai asked with a smile, feeling the chastisement of the Eighth Prince was about enough.

"Please enlighten me, Master Lin." The Eighth Prince didn't want to beat around the bush any longer, feeling that each time Lin Hai slightly revealed information, it was enough to push his fragile nerves to new heights of stimulation.

It seemed like he'd already been dealt ten thousand points of damage, and he was utterly exhausted.

"Perhaps there are few casinos now, but in the future? When you become the number one power in Yanjing, then what? Plus, with the casinos under Demon Young Master's control, wouldn't you consider having influence over the entire North? Over all of Huaxia? Internationally even?"

"So, think about it, is 1% of future casino dividends too little?"

The Eighth Prince suddenly lifted his head, envisioning Lin Hai's description of the future, imagining his casinos everywhere across the globe, and himself being more than just a nominal owner, reaping profits he never imagined. As this thought crossed his mind, his breathing became rougher.
