BXBX NOVEL Chapter 54 - Third Master of the Bai Family!
“Was it really me who caused father and mother to be homeless and missing?”
“But why is it so? I was just an ordinary college student three years ago.” Chu Xun thought to himself.
“Don’t take that ugly guy’s words into heart, sir. He knew he would die soon, so he made a desperate struggle before his death.” Chen Hanlong tried to comfort Chu Xun.
“Is that so?” Chu Xun looked a little confused and murmured, “But his words made sense.”
“It must be so. That scar-faced man looked so ugly, yet he did not hang himself. It meant that he was afraid of death. Just as a saying goes, to die nobly is not as good as to live humbly. He knew that he stood no chance to survive, so he tried to disgust you before his death.” Chen Hanlong did not know how to comfort Chu Xun, so he blamed it all on the scar-faced man.
Chu Xun could not help but chuckle. Chen Hanlong’s words relaxed him a little.
“I agree with him, brother,” the male gambler walked over and put his arm around Chen Hanlong’s shoulder as if they were friends, before saying while looking at Chu Xun, “this ugly guy is just a shrimp whose words are not trustable. Let me say it, the boss behind him must be jealous of your handsome face, so he sent this ugly guy here to disgust you.”
Chu Xun was speechless and felt the male gambler was more unreliable than Chen Hanlong.
Spotting Chu Xun’s expression, the male gamble yelled, “Brother, I don’t know why you look so sad. Are you pretending to look more self-composed? Let me say it, nothing can stand in your way considering your power. That ugly guy said that your parents were missing. Well, it’s easy to solve this problem. Just send out your men to search for them. You have hundreds of millions of money now, so you can solve the problem through money. One may be bought if the price is high enough. Reward whoever finds your parents with 100 million yuan. I believe your parents would be found soon. When you find your parents, slaughter your enemy’s family, kill those males, and make those females prostitutes...”
“Bang!”
The male gambler’s voice paused, and he was sent flying in the air before he fell on the ground, lying like a frog.
The female gamble withdrew her foot and snorted.
Chen Hanlong moved two steps away secretly and thought that the female gambler was so violent. He decided to have a chat with the male gambler persuading him not to start a relationship with such a woman.
The male gambler lay on the floor for a while before sitting up and fondling his own face. Staring at the female gambler with his eyes full of anger, he muttered, “Fortunately, I didn’t bump my face; otherwise, I’ll no longer be the number two handsome guy in the world.”
“Didn’t you claim to be the number one handsome guy in the world? When did you become number two?” the female gambler asked curiously upon hearing the male gambler’s words as if she had forgotten the fact that she had kicked the man away just now.
The male gambler snorted coldly and got up from the ground. He walked to a mirror on the wall and looked at himself.
“Fortunately, fortunately, I still look handsome.” After saying this, he looked at the female gambler and said in an upset tone, “Before I met this brother, I was the number one. But now, since I have met this brother, I’m only the number two.”
The onlookers all felt speechless.
Chu Xun could not help but smile.
The male gambler ran to Chu Xun and said, “Since this moment on, you’re my big brother. You’re the number one handsome guy in the world, and I’m the number two. When I find the number three and number four handsome guys in the world, let’s team up and start out career in entertainment industry. I’m sure we’ll be popular all over the world, and those young girls and ladies will be obsessed with us...”
“I’m afraid those who you find will all be more handsome than you,” the female gambler mocked harshly.
“Impossible. No one dares to be more handsome than me except for my big brother.” the male gambler said with iron certainty with his head raised.
After saying this, the male gambler looked at Chu Xun and said, “Big brother, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Su Fan. No need to introduce yourself because I know your name.”
“Su Fan, it’s a good name,” Chu Xun said with a smile. He had practiced Evocation of Heavenly Secrets, which recorded the method of knowing one’s character from one’s appearance. As an old saying went, one’s appearance reflected one’s character. Judging from Su Fan’s appearance, Chu Xun thought it worthwhile to make friends with Su Fan.
“Big brother, Chu Xun is a good name as well, which is just a little inferior to my name.” Su Fan smiled brightly upon hearing Chu Xun’s words. He then looked back at Chen Hanlong and asked, “Brother, what’s your name?”
Chen Hanlong’s body froze. “He called Chu Xun as Big brother, and called me as brother. Did he mean that Chu Xun and I are of the same status?” Chen Hanlong thought to himself. However, even if he had one hundred guts, he dared not to regard himself as superior as Chu Xun.
“Does your name sound terrible? It’s fine. I promise I will not laugh at you,” said Su Fan.
Chen Hanlong pondered for a moment before looking at Su Fan and saying, “I think you’d better address him ‘Sir’ as I did.”
Though Chen Hanlong favored Su Fan, Chu Xun was like a god in his heart. How could a mortal and an immortal address each other brother. Chu Xun might feel it not good to point it out himself, but Chen Hanlong had to remind Su Fan.
Su Fan was stunned and displeased.
“It’s awkward to call him ‘sir’. Big brother is not a teacher in school. You are really a prim man. When we are away from home, those who are of our ages would become our brothers. Is there any problem with I calling him Big Brother?”
Seeing that Su Fan’s tone was not respectful, Chen Hanlong was about to lose his temper.
Chu Xun shook his head at Chen Hanlong and said indifferently with a smile, “It’s ok. It’s just a way of addressing. You can address me as you want to.”
Su Fan looked happy and made faces at Chen Hanlong before saying, “Did you hear it? Big brother agreed with me. Tell me your name, hurry!”
After Chu Xun saying that, Chen Hanlong did not insist on his own opinion and uttered his name.
“Chen Hanlong is indeed an inferior name. No wonder you were ashamed to speak out your name. But it’s ok. How about I change your name into Chen Longhu? Doesn’t it sound impressive?”
Chen Hanlong’s face immediately darkened a little.
“Haha... I’m just kidding. Look at your stingy face.” Su Fan teased before calling Chen Hanlong as Brother Chen respectfully. Until then, Chen Hanlong looked better.
“Pay my respect to you, sir.”
Hong Ling walked over hurriedly and greeted Chu Xun nervously while others were chatting.
Chu Xun nodded slightly at her as greeting.
“So, you are Bai Renxiong?” Chu Xun’s eyes fell on Bai Renxiong.
Bai Renxiong was stunned first before answering proudly, “Yes.”
He did not need to fear Chu Xun for he was the third master of the Bai Family, which was a big power in Gujiang City and there was no grudge between him and Chu Xun.
“Bai Renjie calls me lord,” Chu Xun said.
“What?” Bai Renxiong was startled.
“He wanted to take control of the Bai Family, so he chose to be a dog of mine.” Chu Xun’s tone became domineering. He stared at Bai Renxiong indifferently and continued, “Do you think that I can help him become the householder of the Bai Family?”
“I...”
Seeing Chu Xun’s cold gaze, Bai Renxiong could not help but shiver and become speechless for some reasons he did not know.
Chen Hanlong walked over and whispered to Chu Xun in the proper time.
Chu Xun raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Bai Renxiong, saying, “You want to be the householder of the Bai Family as well, don’t you? It seems that your big brother failed to win support among your family members.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. He and I are brothers, and I support him to be the householder of our family very much. Don’t try to sow discord between us.”
“Am I trying to sow discord between you? Except for this casino, you possess many other hidden forces, don’t you?” Chu Xun said coldly.
After observing Bai Renxiong’s appearance through Evocation of Heavenly Secrets, Chu Xun found that though Bai Renxiong had a rough appearance with well-developed limbs and did not look like a scheming man, he was actually a detail-mined, cunning, and ambitious man. Bai Renxiong’s appearance was his best disguise. If he participated in the fight for the position of the householder of the Bai Family, Bai Renjie would not be his match and might be taken advantage by others unknowingly.
Since Chu Xun had promised to help Bai Renjie ascend the position of the householder of the Bai Family, he thought that now was a good chance to fulfill his promise.
“Your second elder brother is ambitious yet incapable. His ability doesn’t match his ambition. So, you and your big brother should together take charge of the Bai Family.”
Bai Renxiong was stunned before saying disdainfully, “I don’t care whether you’re lying or not, whether my second elder brother really surrendered to you or not, I just want to tell you that the Bai Family will belong to the Bais forever and will never be controlled by an outsider. So I would suggest you give up your daydream.”
“Is it just my daydream? Your relative, Wang Song, has made an unforgivable mistake, so your family should have been wiped out from Gujiang City long ago. Considering your second elder brother’s surrender to me, I let your family off. Now, you have two choices, to die or surrender to me.” Chu Xun now became extremely overbearing.
“Do you really dare to kill me?” Bai Renxiong did not believe Chu Xun’s words.
“Of course, I do. I can destroy the small Bai Family easily. Now, you can make your choice.”
Bai Renxiong’e eyes glittered. “I’m the noble Third Master of the Bai Family and will become the householder of the family soon. By then, I’ll become a man of status and dignity, how can I surrender to others like a dog?”
“Bai Renxiong, I’d suggest you make a wise choice. The Bai Family is nothing in His Honor’s eyes, and it’s as easy as killing an ant for him to kill you. Don’t think so highly of yourself. Think about it, if you die, the Bai Family will belong to your second elder brother,” said Chen Hanlong with a cold smile.
Bai Renxiong was not willing to and could not surrender. He had been lying in wait for so many years and racked his brains in scheming. How could he give up now and leave the chance to others when he was near success. However, no matter what he was concerned, he had to solve the problem he was faced with now.
“Alright, I’d love to surrender to you,” Bai Renxiong said.
He lowered his head to hide the sarcasm in his eyes. He thought that as long as he pretended to surrender, nobody would do anything to him after he got out of the place.
