Chapter 506: 327. Jindai Kongyin of the North
The world lit up again.
Qing Chen was still sitting in the villa’s living room, and so was Luo Wanya.
Before this journey through time, Luo Wanya had voluntarily come to the villa as a hostage, fearing that Daylight wouldn’t be willing to save him.
Now he had finally regained his freedom.
“Benefactor, Xiao Luo will follow Daylight to the death from now on, through thick and thin,” Luo Wanya, upon returning to the villa, grabbed Qing Chen’s arm. “If I betray you, let me suffer a thousand cuts without any complaint!”
Although the boss of Daylight wasn’t here, he judged that Qing Chen was a person in Daylight, second only to the boss in status.
So thanking Qing Chen was definitely the right thing to do.
Qing Chen, calmly sitting in his chair, said, “Speak properly, don’t go about it with the gangster talk, and besides, not everyone who wants to follow Daylight can.”
If it had been in the past.
Luo Wanya might have thought that Qing Chen’s purpose in saying this was to suppress his spirit and elevate Daylight’s status.
But now Luo Wanya didn’t think so; he was very clear about the kind of power Daylight wielded in the Inner World. Indeed, it wasn’t for just anyone to join.
At that moment, r is 32. The younger one is a recent college graduate and the older one is a tour guide. Neither of them are of great use to Daylight. How about you hand them over to me, and I’ll work with them.”
Qing Chen glanced at Luo Wanya, “What do you plan to do?”
“Of course, I’ll do whatever Daylight asks me to do,” said Luo Wanya.
Qing Chen said without hesitation, “The boss already has arrangements for you. He needs you to fill the gap in intelligence in the underworld market for Daylight. Xiao Niu, Tianzhen, and Zhuzi, you three don’t help him for now. The boss wants to see his capabilities.”
Luo Wanya becameve the boss a pleasant surprise!”
“Go back and rest for now.”
Qing Chen watched Luo Wanya’s retreating figure and suddenly found himself genuinely looking forward to seeing what kind of trouble this gangster, General Luo, could stir up with his ‘family.’
Then, Luo Wanya walked out of the villa where his driver was still at the door: “General Luo, you’ve finally come out, are you all right?”
“Don’t call me General Luo,” Luo Wanya lowered his voice and said, “From today on, call me by my name, and tell the brothers to do the same. They must call me by my name.”
“Why?” asked the driver, puzzled.
Luo Wanya replied, “I have a new boss now. What would he think if he heard you calling me General Luo all the time?”
“So we’ll call you General Luo in private and use your name in public,” said the driver.
“Bullshit,” Luo Wanya snapped angrily: “The habit of calling me by my name should be maintained even in privatd this simple truth after so many years with me?”
“Oh…” the driver responded.
Luo Wanya was a tough man, even tougher on himself.
With his age, he was already half buried in the earth, but for survival, he had completely abandoned the dialect he had spoken for most of his life and had actually learned standard Mandarin properly.
Not everyone could do that.
“Right, go gather all our brothers who’ve become Time Travelers. Tell them I’m going to lead them in doing something big,” Luo Wanya said. “We have 12 Time Traveler brothers now, right? That’s enough!”
At this moment, Luo Wanya felt excited. The Outer World was a law-abiding and orderly world, and he, such a person, had always had difficulty making his mark, feeling like he was born out of his time.
Those years were either spent laying low or on the way to lay low.
But the Inner World was different; there, life was as cheap as grass, and everyone’s survival was uncertain day by day. It was the era that suited him best.
At this time, the driver said, “General Luo… Luo Wanya, the villa next to this one is still empty. Do you want to buy it and live closer to them?”
“No need,” Luo Wanya shook his head: “It’s unnecessary.”
“Why, you don’t want to join them? Or is it that the house is too expensive?” the driver asked curiously.
“You don’t understand a thing. Am I short on money? Moving so close to them now, before I’ve even joined, might just make thng, don’t be too opinionated,” Luo Wanya said.
It had to be said, having been through the ups and downs of life for half his life, Luo Wanya had seen through the ways of the world.
Hu Xiaoniu only came to understand some of these truths because he had a good father.
Liu Dezhu only understood some truths after being harshly beaten by life several times.
But they were still not as insightful as Luo Wanya.
Because those life truths had been realized by Luo Wanya after half a lifetime of hustling.
Among these life truths, there was a very important one: “A person needs to aspire to reach the heavens, and without fate, one cannot succeed.”
In one’s lifetime, it is essential to have a patron, and right now, the boss of Daylight was his current patron.
At this moment, Luo Wanya thought: “Although we can’t buy this house now, we can’t let others buy it either. Go talk to the owner and get them not to sell it to anyone else.”
