The theater owner Jia Bu came out with two other owners and hurriedly came over to shake hands with Baldy, "Bar Ye, Bar Ye, why didn’t you let us know you were coming? We definitely would have treated you right. We were just saying, your personal guards are all here, but the boss isn’t, so you were hiding here all along."
Everyone was shocked. Bar Ye!?
Anyone who mingles in Myanmar and doesn’t know the name Bar Ye is simply wasting their time.
Even Sang Ji stepped back.
The name Bar Ye was as thunderous as it gets.
He was the leader of Myanmar’s most powerful ace military figure, holding the ace of aces within the Myanmar government forces.
How powerful could Bar Ye be? If he wanted someone dead, it was as easy as lifting a finger.
Who, mixing in Myanmar, would dare to disobey Bar Ye’s word? Unless you never showed your face in Myanmar, you would never have a peaceful day. Who among Myanmar’s top brass would ever think to connect such a domineering figure like Bar Ye with the current smiling, good-tempered Baldy?
And the thing is, Bar Ye was such great friends with doctor Bai, who turned out to be incredibly lucky.
To casually make a friend and end up with a big shot.
What kind of luck is that?
"I was just in a good mood and wanted to have some fun. Didn’t want you all to see me; where’s the fun in that if you see me? You had a pile of stones ready for me to pick through, none of which I could possibly cut down. How boring that would be. This way, it’s interesting. I’m having a blast on my own. Look at my partner here, doesn’t know a thing and just relies on luck, which is through the roof," Baldy said with great satisfaction, looking at Bai Xiao.
This made Bai Xiao realize that this was a big leg to hold on to, a big Myanmar leg.
"This... I... Bar Ye..." What should she say?
"Just call me Baldy. We don’t need all that formal stuff. Just because you’re so righteous and didn’t get greedy or ungrateful when you saw money, just for that, I acknowledge you as my sister, doctor Bai. As long as you ask, your big brother will do everything he can for you. Even if he can’t, he’ll figure out how to get it done," Baldy said, vigorously patting Bai Xiao’s shoulder, nearly flattening her with the force.
With a crooked smile, she said, "Baldy, since you’re my big brother, I won’t bother with the pleasantries here. We bought this stone together, and no matter its increase in value, we agreed that’s how it should be. Initially, you gave me twenty million, and even though it was from a gambling deal, considering our relationship, I feel it’s only fair that you have a half share."
Baldy nodded, "Alright! Since you put it that way, I won’t be coy. But don’t you decline either. Just speak up, and I’ll definitely help you, no matter what it is! As long as it’s in Myanmar, there’s nothing Bar Ye can’t handle." Bar Ye was not one to take advantage of others; his reputation for righteousness was well-known.
"Big brother, I actually do have a favor to ask of you. I hope you’ll be as good as your word, and I thank you in advance," said Bai Xiao, not one to pass up this opportunity.
Baldy laughed heartily, "Good, good! I love your straightforward spirit. Go ahead and say it!"
Everyone felt awkward, as all the covetous gazes became well-behaved. Now, who would dare set their sights on this piece of Dragon Stone-type? That would be like their brains were clogged with lard, utterly blind.
All of them put together couldn’t measure up to even one of Bar Ye’s fingers.
Not to mention, Bar Ye was famously known for his deep loyalty and righteousness.
