C20 (1/2)
The man had a goblet in his hand, half filled with red wine. The man swirled the goblet gently, then drained it in one gulp.
The waiter next to him poured him some wine into a goblet. On the top of the bottle was printed a black ”CHATEAULAFITE-ROTHSCHILD” in English, with the word ”1982” written in red at the bottom.
The man holding the goblet strode to the side of Knife-scarred Man and coldly said:
”Dao Ba, you said that you wanted to expand our territory, I was afraid that you would not be able to control the situation for the first time, so I let you handle that piece of fat called Star City, in the end you did this to me? He even lost so many of his brothers. If it wasn't for that incident …
”Anyways, I have spent so much effort to save you and it can be said that I have done my best to protect you. Either you take the money and scram yourself, or you just peacefully work under me. From now on, don't think about expanding your territory anymore!”
Back then, when Young Master Xu was fighting in the competition, there was someone who wanted to assassinate Young Master Xu. Fortunately, he was Young Master Xu's bodyguard and used his body to protect him, but because of this, there was a scar left on his face that would last for the rest of his life.

Young Master Xu snorted from Knife-scarred Man's mouth, then returned to the sofa and sat down, continuing to sip the red wine in the goblet. Seeing that he was not as angry as before, Knife-scarred Man carefully woke him up.
”Young Master Xu, at that time, the person in charge seemed to be surnamed Ye. I wonder if …”
Surname Ye?
The man squinted his eyes and thought: ”Didn't the Ye Family's Single Child die a year ago?”
After thinking for a while, he said lightly, ”Coincidentally, his surname is Ye right now. Didn't he die a year ago? How could a dead person revive? Right now, the situation is very tense, so it is not suitable for you to act blindly without thinking. Regarding this matter, you should not ask any further.
”Yes, Young Master Xu!”
Only then did Knife-scarred Man get up from the cold floor, lame his aching legs and walked out step by step. As Young Master Xu watched Knife-scarred Man's leaving figure, he thought about what happened a year ago …
