"Let's go. Old Zhou is already waiting inside. We've collected quite a bit of protection money from him over the past two years. He's probably cursed us both out countless times in his heart, hasn't he?"
Lei Ze said with a smile as he pushed the door open.
Zhang Yuan, walking beside him, snorted with a laugh. "That wasn't money collected for us. It was operating funds for our Rebel Army. Why would he curse us?"
The two chatted casually about explosive news that would have shocked the entire county.
As soon as they entered the courtyard,
they saw a burly man standing in the yard, practicing his punches.
Another pot-bellied middle-aged man sat nearby on a stool, drinking tea.
"Well, you two certainly know how to enjoy yourselves."
Lei Ze looked at them and joked with a smile.
"Old Liu!"
Zhang Yuan greeted the muscular man practicing his punches in delighted surprise.
"Lao Zhang, long time no see!"
The man withdrew his fist and stood straight, slowly turning his head to reveal a square, upright face.
If Xu Qing had been there, he would surely have cried out in shock.
Because the man privately meeting with the leaders of the Thunder Dragon Gang and Water Fire Alliance was none other than Liu Zhankun!
And the middle-aged man sitting to the side drinking tea
was also someone Xu Qing knew well.
The chairman of Celestial God Company—Zhou Yu.
If anyone had seen these groups gathered together in this small courtyard, all familiar with one another, their jaws would have dropped.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's go inside and talk."
Zhou Yu rose with a smile, carrying himself like a leader.
The others said nothing more and followed him into the house.
Once they were seated,
Zhou Yu spoke first.
