"Forget it, forget it." Zhang Zhiwei sighed and stood up. "Li Tong, if you have time, you might as well come to Longhu Mountain. The tea here is very good."

On the other side, Wang Kun had just left Li Tong, but he was feeling uneasy. He knew that his behavior this time might have angered Wang Ai, so he hurried back to explain to Wang Ai.

Wang Kun knelt in front of Wang Ai, not daring to raise his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Wang Ai, I... I was wrong."

Wang Ai looked at him and sneered: "Wrong? Where did you go wrong?"

Wang Kun trembled and said, "I...I shouldn't have acted on my own and failed to follow your instructions."

Wang Ai snorted and said, "It's good that you know. I chose you as the candidate for the Ten Leaders because you are weak and obedient. But you dare to act on your own. You are really bold."

Wang Kun kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Please calm down, my lord. I will never dare to do it again next time."

Wang Ai waved his hand and said, "Get up and tell me what's going on with Li Tong."

Wang Kun stood up and answered carefully, "Li Tong is indeed very strong. I am no match for him. Moreover, he doesn't seem to care about the position of the Ten Lords. He only participated in the election because he was recommended by everyone."

Wang Ai frowned and said, "Oh? Did he really say that?"

Wang Kun nodded and said, "Yes, he did say that. Moreover, his attitude was very humble, and he was not arrogant or rude just because of his great strength."

Wang Ai was silent for a while, then said, "So, this Li Tong is quite interesting. However, I still want to meet him in person to see how capable he is."

Before the election, Wang Ai was always friendly to Li Tong because Li Tong was his right-hand man and an important chess piece in his game of power.

However, once the election was over, Li Tong's identity became less sensitive and Wang Ai's attitude became cold.

That day, Li Tong came to the door and said straight to the point: "Wang Ai, I'm here to collect the balance." His tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Wang Ai looked up at him, a sneer appeared on his lips: "Oh? You come to collect the balance? Do you think you have done something so great that my Wang family would pay so much attention to you?"

Li Tong was unmoved. He took out a recorder from his pocket and placed it on the table: "This is our transaction conversation. If you plan to default on your debt, I don't mind giving it to Zhao Fangxu." Zhao Fangxu was the person in charge of the alien world. His words made Wang Ai's face turn ugly in an instant.

Wang Ai's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it. He stared at Li Tong for a long time before slowly speaking: "You...how dare you threaten me?" His voice was full of anger and unwillingness.

Li Tong smiled and said, "This is not a threat, just a reminder. The transaction between us is fair. You got the result you wanted, and I should get the reward I deserve."

Wang Ai took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that the current situation was not favorable to him. If Li Tong really gave the recording to Zhao Fangxu, the Wang family would be in great trouble. So he put on a smiling face and said to Li Tong: "Li Tong, you misunderstood. How could I default on my debt? I was just joking. Don't worry, I will raise the balance for you within three days."

Li Tong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then I'll stay near the capital for a few days and wait for your good news." After that, he turned and left, leaving Wang Ai alone gritting his teeth.

After Li Tong left Wang's house, he was secretly proud of himself. He knew that he not only successfully got the final payment this time, but also made Wang Ai, the old fox, suffer a loss. He believed that as long as he had enough wisdom and means, he could gain a foothold in this world full of power and struggle.

In the next few days, Li Tong stayed in a small hotel near the capital. Every day he would go to the teahouse to listen to gossip or go for a stroll on the street to enjoy this rare leisure time. As for Wang Ai, just as he said, he raised the balance within three days and sent someone to deliver it to Li Tong.

"Humph, what a greedy guy!" Wang Ai cursed in a low voice, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. He originally thought that Li Tong would give up the money tactfully, but he didn't expect that he would dare to threaten him with the position of the Ten Lords. This was simply a provocation to him, and he absolutely could not tolerate it.

At this time, Li Tong had left the Wang family compound and came to a suburb of the capital. He rented a simple hut and planned to settle down here temporarily. He did not return to his territory immediately, but chose to stay in the capital, waiting for an opportunity.

That afternoon, Liu Yanyan from Yiren Law Firm called Li Tong. She sounded a little excited and seemed very curious about Li Tong's situation.

"Hey, Li Tong, are the results of the Ten Lords election out? Have you been elected?" Liu Yanyan asked straight to the point.

Li Tong smiled and did not answer her question directly, but kept it a secret: "What do you think?"

"Hey, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now!" Liu Yanyan urged.

Li Tong then said slowly: "The result is not bad. My kindness to you is not in vain."

"Oh? So you were elected?" Liu Yanyan asked in surprise.

"Hehe, you guessed it right." Li Tong smiled proudly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanyan became excited: "Great, congratulations! You have finally made it big, you have to treat me to a good meal in the future!"

Li Tong agreed with a smile, but he felt a little bitter in his heart. He did not tell Liu Yanyan that he was not elected as one of the ten leaders, but was squeezed out by Wang Ai and others. He chose to conceal this fact, not wanting Liu Yanyan to worry about him.

"By the way, what are you planning to do by staying in the capital? You don't want to make a fortune here and leave, do you?" Liu Yanyan suddenly asked.

Li Tong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "How can that be possible? I just received a big order, and the buyer is not happy to pay, so I have to keep an eye on it here."

"Oh? What big business? Can you tell me about it?" Liu Yanyan asked curiously.

Li Tong shook his head and said mysteriously: "I can't tell you this casually, this is my business secret."

"Yan Yan, why do you always volunteer for others but never take action yourself?" he couldn't help but ask.

Liu Yanyan stopped what she was doing, turned around, and had a self-deprecating smile on her face: "I know my own strength. If I follow you, I'm afraid I'll become a burden to you. It's better for me to stay at home and guard the house."

Li Tong sighed. He knew that Liu Yanyan was telling the truth. Her strength was indeed not enough to deal with the danger they were about to face. But he also understood that Liu Yanyan's intention was more important than anything else.

"I'm going there mainly to fight. I'm going to beat up all those who look down on me and don't submit to me. I'm going to make them pay obediently." Li Tong said lightly.

When Liu Yanyan heard this, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes: "Brother Tong, you have to be careful. Those people are not easy to deal with."

Li Tong smiled and patted Liu Yanyan on the shoulder: "Don't worry, when I take action, they will be the only ones in danger."

……

Capital city, Wang family.

Wang Ai sat in the study, playing with a jade pendant in his hand. He had a smug smile on his face. "Li Tong, Li Tong, do you think you won? Humph, this deal is your death!" He whispered to himself.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Wang Ai restrained his smile and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

A servant pushed the door open and said respectfully, "Master, Li Tong has agreed to the deal."

Wang Ai nodded: "Okay, tell him to meet at the woods outside the city at noon tomorrow."

The servant took the order and left, and Wang Ai showed a smug smile on his face again.

……

The next day at noon, in the woods outside the city.

Li Tong came to the agreed place alone. He looked around and saw that the forest was dense and sparsely populated. He couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

"Wang Ai, this old fox, chose such a place to do business. Could it be that he wants to rob his fellow thieves?" he thought to himself.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from afar. Li Tong looked up and saw a group of people rushing towards him. The leader was Wang Ai.

When Wang Ai saw Li Tong, a smile appeared on his face: "Li Tong, you are here."

Li Tong looked at him coldly: "Wang Ai, what do you mean by choosing this place to trade?"

Wang Ai laughed: "Li Tong, you misunderstood. This place is sparsely populated, which is convenient for us to trade. Moreover, trading with gold is also safer."

Li Tong frowned. He didn't completely believe Wang Ai's words. But he also knew that he had no other choice now. He could only bite the bullet and make this deal.

He stopped a taxi and told the place name. The driver was a talkative person, but Li Tong didn't want to talk to him. He just looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window and thought about his countermeasures.

The taxi stopped at the edge of the forest. Li Tong paid the fare and got out to walk into the forest. There were few people here, and only the occasional bird song broke the silence. He looked around as he walked, fearing that there was an ambush.

After walking for about half an hour, he finally saw Wang Ai. Wang Ai was standing next to three pickup trucks and a van parked next to them. When he saw Li Tong, a half-smile appeared on his face.

"Li Tong, you are here as expected." Wang Ai said.

"Why didn't I come?" Li Tong asked, "Do you still think I'm afraid of you?"

Wang Ai laughed, "I'm just curious, why do you dare to come to see me alone?"

"I can rely on myself," Li Tong said. "I don't need to bring anyone with me because I have enough confidence."

Wang Ai raised his eyebrows. "Oh? Then tell me, where does your confidence come from?"

Li Tong smiled slightly, "My confidence comes from myself. I know what you want, and I also know what I can give you. Therefore, the deal between us can only be completed by me."

Wang Ai heard this, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect Li Tong to be so direct and so confident. He looked at the pickup truck next to him, suddenly walked over and removed the baffle on the container.

"Look at this." said Wang Ai.

Li Tong walked over and saw that the container was full of golden things. He was stunned for a moment, then he understood. This was the goods they were trading, and it was also a means for Wang Ai to intimidate him.

"How is it? Is this enough?" Wang Ai asked.

Li Tong nodded, "That's enough."

"Well," Wang Ai said, "as long as you bring me what I want, all of this will be yours."

Li Tong didn't say anything, just looked at the goods silently. He knew that this transaction was very risky, but he also knew that he had no way out. He had to succeed, otherwise he would have nothing.

The two looked at each other for a long time without saying anything. The air around them seemed to freeze, with only the occasional bird song breaking the silence.

Finally, Li Tong took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I promise you. But you have to pay first."

The sight before him froze him.

The box full of gold shone with an alluring light under the light, as if it could absorb a person's soul. He had never seen so much gold before, and for a moment, he was in a trance, as if he was in a golden dream.

"What? Are you stunned?" Wang Ai's voice broke the momentary silence. He stood aside with a smug smile on his face, as if he had seen Li Tong's defeat.

Li Tong came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and tried to keep himself calm. He knew that although the gold in front of him was tempting, it was not easy to get. Since Wang Ai dared to bring so much gold, he must have come prepared.

"Wang Ai, do you really think this gold can make me retreat?" Li Tong sneered.

Wang Ai shook his head, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared: "No, Li Tong, you are wrong. These golds are just baits. The real battle has just begun."

As he spoke, Wang Ai walked to a van and suddenly opened the door. Li Tong was shocked to see that there were ten people sitting in the car, each of them looked ferocious. What was even more surprising was that Lu Ci also got out of the passenger seat, and his appearance made Li Tong feel a little uneasy.

"It seems that you really invested a lot of money." Li Tong sneered.

Wang Ai did not answer, but just waved his hand. Those people immediately jumped out of the car and surrounded Li Tong. One person also got out of each pickup truck. They were holding weapons and had fierce eyes. They were obviously the thugs carefully selected by Wang Ai.

Li Tong looked around, his heart sinking. He knew that he was in real trouble this time. But even so, he had no intention of backing down. He took a deep breath, mobilized the strength in his body, and prepared to face the coming storm.

"Wang Ai, do you think these people can deal with me?" Li Tong said loudly, his voice full of provocation.

Wang Ai sneered: "Whether I can deal with you or not, I won't know until I try."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and those people immediately attacked Li Tong. Li Tong moved, dodged the first wave of attacks, and then quickly counterattacked. His movements were as fast as lightning, dazzling people. (End of this chapter)
