Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In a large conference room.

John, Sony, and the others were sitting in the conference room and discussing.

At this moment, Arthur said, “Sony, why don’t you tell John about the composition of the underground black market?”

With that, Godfather Arthur leaned back and closed his eyes, as if whatever happened next had nothing to do with him.

Sony stood up and respectfully said yes to Godfather Arthur. He turned to John and said,

“There are two large sects in Eric State’s underground black market.

“Each sect has some small gangs of different sizes under their name.

“The two godfather-level sects are our All Beings Sect and the Evil Divine Sect that we have been enemies with for many years.

“Our two sects have been fighting each other for more than ten years, and neither side has been able to win the other.

“These two sects control the entire underground black market in Eric State.

“But not long ago, the Evil Divine Sect initiated an underground boxing competition against us.

“After initiating this competition, both parties must accept the challenge regardless of whether they are willing or not.

“This is a rule established by both sides several years ago. The purpose of the competition is to fight for resources. This time, both of us are fighting for the bustling commercial city center in the central district.

“Whoever wins the boxing competition will gain control of that commercial center, so this competition is very important.”

Listening to Sony’s introduction, John had a rough concept of the underground triads.

Then a bold idea appeared in his mind.

His previous idea was to conquer the Axe Association and expand his influence step by step.

But now, he had changed his mind.

John was seriously thinking about how to conquer the entire All Beings Sect when Sony made a discordant sound and interrupted John.

Sony continued to John, “The importance of this competition is self-evident. Whoever gains control of the commercial city center will grow rapidly in the next few years. We definitely must win this time.

“But our boxers were all defeated by the Evil Divine Sect’s boxer.

“So this time, we’ve placed all our hopes on you.

“If you can defeat your opponent, we will pay you two million US dollars.”

However, John let out a sneer and said, “Hehe, is the control of the commercial center only worth two million US dollars?”

John was about to continue,

but he was interrupted by a dark-skinned middle-aged man sitting beside Godfather Arthur.

The irascible middle-aged black man taunted John, “You’re just a lowly person. Giving you two million US dollars is already giving you more respect than you are worth. I hope you don’t make a wrong move and ruin your future.

“We have a thousand ways to kill you. Do you believe me?”

John looked at the black man with disdain. “Hehe, try killing me then.

“And now, only I can defeat that boxer.

“Come, kill me. Then, all of you will be killed by the Evil Divine Sect.”

The black man was furious at John’s arrogant tone.

He knocked on the table angrily and shouted at John, “Kid, I think you are truly reckless.”

Arthur suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly to the black man, “You keep your mouth shut.”

He turned to John and asked with a chuckle, “What’s your conditions?”

Then, Arthur’s gaze suddenly turned sharp. He retracted his warm smile and became serious. He continued and said, “If you can’t complete our mission, then you should know the consequences of offending our All Beings Sect.”

John shook his head indifferently and said insipidly, “I don’t want to know the consequences of offending you, nor is it worth knowing.

“As for my condition?”

John suddenly paused. His fingers slowly tapped on the table as he pondered.

Everyone looked at John. They stared at this arrogant young man in front of them, wanting to see what kind of conditions he could propose.

Then John’s eyes narrowed as if he had thought of something. He said, “I’ll help you defeat the other party’s boxer. I want you to immediately pay me 10 million US dollars as remuneration, and then give me 10% of the annual profit from the commercial center.”

Upon hearing John’s exorbitant conditions, the irascible black man suddenly stood up and threatened John, “Kid, you really dare to ask for such an exorbitant price. Aren’t you afraid that you don’t have the life to spend the money?”

John looked coldly at the middle-aged man.

“You don’t have to worry about whether I have the life to spend it. You just have to prepare the money.”

Father Arthur stared at John for a long moment with his fierce, cold eyes, then said, “We can agree to your conditions, but if you don’t defeat the opponent’s boxer, you will lose your life.”

Hearing that Godfather Arthur agreed to John’s conditions, the black man said towards Godfather Arthur, “Sir Godfather, how can you agree to this kid’s conditions? He’s clearly asking for too much. Even without him, we still have a chance of winning.”

Arthur looked at the black man indifferently and said coldly, “Do I need your approval to make a choice?”

The black man looked at Godfather Arthur’s cold gaze and trembled. He hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, Sir Godfather. I was too rash. Please forgive me.”

Everyone in the conference room was watching this scene. Some of them were about to say something but swallowed their words upon seeing the black man’s result.

John looked indifferently at Godfather Arthur who was staring at him. He had no intention of avoiding his gaze. John didn’t show any fear towards this godfather who controlled the life and death of the underground black market. Instead, there was an amused smile on his lips.

He said to the Godfather, “You made the right choice.”

He then left the meeting room without looking back.

When John walked out of the conference room.

The black man asked Godfather Arthur, “Esteemed Godfather, why did you agree to that kid’s conditions?”

The godfather’s eyes seemed a little lost in thought. Then, he calmly said, “This person isn’t as simple as he appears to be. He is not only powerful in combat.

“On the contrary, martial power isn’t his forte.

“This young man’s strongest ability is still his terrifying high IQ.

“I believe you all know about the two most recent incidents.

“More importantly, the victims of these two accidents are the enemies of this young man.

“Although there is no concrete evidence to prove that he was the one who caused the accidents, anyone with a discerning eye would know that these two accidents were not ordinary accidents. Moreover, he had appeared in the scenes of both accidents.

“And all of this was calculated with that terrifying IQ of his.

“Do you think such a terrifying person is worth befriending or becoming enemies with?”

When everyone heard the godfather’s reply, they all revealed expressions of shock. It was because they had never heard their godfather praise a youngster like this, even carrying a trace of fear.
