"Mr. Ikeda, you don't need to be afraid; I'm not after your life! I'm just here to talk business with you today!"

"Ah... talk business? Oh, oh... talk business, right, talk business..."

At this moment, Ikeda Yasushi didn't dare utter a single word in the bird language of Dao Wo Country that Ling Zhenfei might not understand. Seeing that Ling Zhenfei truly had no intention of taking his life, some color finally returned to his pale face as he nodded and bowed hastily to Ling Zhenfei.

"Of course, we're talking business!"

Ling Zhenfei disdainfully glanced at the man and said with a sneer, "I heard Mr. Ikeda is a renowned fish dealer in Dao Wo Country, and you have some decent koi. My brother Fatty and I are both looking to buy a batch. I wonder if Mr. Ikeda could do us the honor of supplying us with a batch?"

"Supply? Boss, this..."

At this point, not only had Ikeda Yasushi not caught on, but even Fatty was a bit stunned, completely unprepared for Ling Zhenfei to pull this kind of move.

After having fallen out with Ikeda Yasushi, did their boss really expect Ikeda Yasushi to supply them?

"What, is Mr. Ikeda reluctant to do this deal with us?"

Ling Zhenfei ignored Fatty's astonished look and stared intensely at Ikeda Yasushi with eyes sharp as knives, while also cracking his knuckles ominously.

"This... No, no, let's talk! We can talk it over!"

Seeing the murderous look in Ling Zhenfei's eyes, Ikeda Yasushi's face, which had just regained some color, rapidly turned deathly pale again.

Although relying on his connection with the Yamaguchi-gumi had made Ikeda Yasushi quite influential in the Japanese Country, he was now on Huaxian soil. With Le Wu Ya and A Tu having been scared off by Ling Zhenfei and him having no real strength, how could he dare not go along with Ling Zhenfei's will?

"That's right, Mr. Ikeda, you are quite the wise man for recognizing the situation!" Seeing Ikeda Yasushi looking absolutely terrified, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but find it amusing.

Feigning friendliness, Ling Zhenfei patted Ikeda Yasushi on the shoulder, then said to Fatty, "Fatty, I don't know much about koi prices and quality. You talk to Mr. Ikeda about it!"

"Uh... Oh, okay! Okay!"

Fatty seemed to be coming back to his senses with regard to these sudden developments and nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

"Mr. Ikeda, look, this is the order list I made for you last time: Taisho Sanke, Showa Sanke, Gold and Silver Scales, Red Crest—all kinds of koi. You didn't agree then; what do you think about it this time?"

Seeing the frustrated look on Ikeda Yasushi's face, Fatty couldn't help but feel a secret thrill as he quickly pulled out a list he had prepared earlier and handed it to Ikeda Yasushi.

Originally, Ikeda Yasushi didn't deign to do business with Fatty. But now, with Ling Zhenfei watching him like a tiger, even if he had the guts, Ikeda Yasushi wouldn't dare say a word of refusal.

With no choice, Ikeda Yasushi took the list but frowned as he read it, "This won't do. The quantities you're asking for are too much, and the prices too low. I'm sorry, but I can't agree to this!"

"This..."

Fatty was anxious upon hearing this and quickly added, "Mr. Ikeda, please! How about I raise the prices? You have to supply me with these quantities of koi..."

"No, what you want are the finest specimens I have, and they are banned from export to Huaxia by our country. I cannot agree," Ikeda Yasushi said, still shaking his head vigorously.

Seeing his refusal, Fatty grew anxious and turned to Ling Zhenfei for help.

Ling Zhenfei took the list and glanced at it before giving Ikeda Yasushi a cold look and said, "Mr. Ikeda, if you're saying the price isn't right, we can still negotiate. But if you're saying these species are banned from export to Huaxia by your country, I'm afraid that today, I must insist on acquiring them."

"This..." Hearing Ling Zhenfei's utterly resolute words, this time it was Ikeda Yasushi's turn to panic.

"Mr. Ikeda, enough chit-chat," said Zhenfei.

Ikeda Yasushi's lips trembled slightly, and his complexion was quite poor. However, before he could respond, Ling Zhenfei made a sweeping gesture, "We'll go by the price and quantity on this list. If you think it's unreasonable, I think it's time to talk!"

Having said that, Ling Zhenfei then turned with an unquestionable expression to Fatty, "Fatty, quickly draft a contract for Mr. Ikeda to sign."

"Alrighty!"

Comparing Ling Zhenfei's authority with Ikeda Yasushi's frustration, Fatty was so pleased he almost shouted out loud.

Immediately, he winked repeatedly at Ling Zhenfei, took out the contract he had prepared earlier, and placed it in front of Ikeda Yasushi with a sinister laugh, "Mr. Ikeda, if you want to leave here sooner, I'd advise you to sign this contract!"

The feeling of forcing the little Japanese guy to sign the contract was just too exhilarating.

Fatty knew that although Ikeda Yasushi was quite the big deal in the underworld of Dao Wo Country, he was still outwardly a businessman, and a businessman must value integrity. Once a contract was signed, it had to be executed unconditionally according to the terms laid out.

"This, I... this contract..."

At this moment, Ikeda Yasushi's expression was the epitome of frustration; he looked here and there, clearly at a loss for how to handle the predicament before him.

"Ahem! Ahem!" Ling Zhenfei certainly didn't want to give him any more time to think and coughed loudly on purpose.

Upon hearing that, Ikeda Yasushi was jolted as if struck by a heavy hammer, his body trembling.

He wanted to argue, but upon looking up again at Ling Zhenfei's chilling gaze, he shivered all over, and with a face as gloomy as a mourner's, he signed the contract.

"Hehe, Mr. Ikeda, this kind of cooperative attitude is what makes business pleasant, right? Don't you agree?" Ling Zhenfei said, smiling and taking Ikeda Yasushi's hand after checking the signed contract.

"Uh... Yes, yes... Pleasure, pleasurable cooperation!" Ikeda Yasushi, despite wanting to bite Ling Zhenfei to death at this moment, had to pull himself together and force a smile that was uglier than crying as he shook hands with Zhenfei.

"Alright, since the contract has been signed. Mr. Ikeda, we'll need to proceed according to the stipulations of the contract now!" Ling Zhenfei handed the contract to Fatty and gave him a meaningful look.

"Mr. Ikeda, please!"

Getting the hint, Fatty immediately put his large, chubby hand on Ikeda Yasushi's shoulder and forcefully pulled him out to handle the related affairs.

Watching the two leave, Ling Zhenfei leaned back on the sofa in the private room, leisurely sipping coffee and listening to the soothing background music...

At the same time Ling Zhenfei was forcing Ikeda Yasushi to sign the contract, in an office at Royal Number One, A Tu was reporting to a middle-aged man sitting in the boss's chair about what had just happened in the private room.

This middle-aged man looked imposing and was born with the daunting aura of a mobster. His entire being radiated a chilling killing aura.

This man, was the boss of Jingquan District, known as Nine Lives Wildcat!

Nine Lives Wildcat, though just a nickname, was all this person needed to roam the underworld of Binyang for so many years, ultimately becoming the boss of his own turf.
