Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Chapter 1493 1488: This Will Cost Extra [Second Update]

"I've been listening for a while, and I think I get it," Su Chen suddenly interrupted from the side."So tonight, Lady Song wants me to help her drink with this Lord He, right? But according to you guys, he's quite a tough character?"

"Yeah, He's not someone you want to mess with. If anyone gets tangled up with him, the consequences can be devastating."

"Oh, then that's that. I'll head back home, you guys drink away. Let's pretend I wasn't here tonight."

Xia Ruoyi: "..."

Lady Song: "..."

Qi Xiaohu: "..."

Even He Yutong felt that Su Chen's behavior at that moment seemed a bit too... too timid and afraid.

Could he be a bit more manly?

"Since you agreed to help, how can you walk away halfway? That's pretty low," He Yutong couldn't help but say.

"Hmm? You mean I should stand up and risk my life to help her deal with someone so formidable? What's my relationship with her anyway? Even her dad wouldn't be that selfless, right?"

"If I have to go, I think... this thing needs more cash." Su Chen exaggeratedly said, as if after deep contemplation, making a decision.

Lady Song was a bit dumbfounded; risking life isn't worth it, but if there's more cash, it's worth it?

But given the gravity of the situation, Lady Song wasn't stingy about spending this money. She said, "How much will it take? Name your price."

"Well, look, risking my life to help you, what do you think our friendship is worth?" Su Chen squinted, appearing as if he was thoughtful and genuinely concerned.

Lady Song was internally crumbling, wondering what kind of person he is, 'Our friendship'?

Does any friendship exist between us?

There's definitely none!

"Flat price, one million! If you get into any accident, I'll compensate you an extra five million." Lady Song did not hesitate in naming such a price.

Given the value of her business, this expenditure was worthwhile for her.

"Deal!" Su Chen shook hands with Lady Song.

...

At the Prosperous Advanced Leisure Club, tonight it's bustling with wealth. It's usually not this lively, but tonight, in Hall No. 3, there's an extraordinary gathering.

What's interesting is that the initiator of this event is none other than Jiangdu's well-known Lord He, ruthless and cunning, and the one gambling against him in Jiangdu is equally notable.

But if you don't mingle in this circle, you won't be aware of her existence.

Lady Song, a prominent figure in Jiangdu's entertainment industry.

She can clearly remember the names of notable girls in Jiangdu's major nightclubs, and she herself holds shares in these venues.

Tonight's gamble revolves around these nightclubs.

Lord He wants to interfere in this business, and Lady Song is a talent in this field, with substantial shares in each venue. Plus, she's an exceptionally attractive woman, so naturally, Lord He's eyeing Lady Song.

...

"Is everyone here yet?"

In Hall No. 3 of the Prosperous Advanced Leisure Club, there aren't many dressed in suits and shoes. Most attending the banquet are young second-generation rich kids.

There aren't many like Lord He, but that doesn't mean there are none.

Among today's attendees was once a prominent figure in Jiangdu.

"Could it be they're afraid to come?" someone said.

"Hey, not coming? What good does that do? You can run from the monk, but not the temple! Whether she comes today or not, the result is the same." An informed person sneered.

Lady Song was already an enticing prey, let alone this prey holding a small gold mine.

No one acted against her before because she was adept in her operations, holding a critical network of interests. To move against her, one must consider those she has behind her.

Whether the benefits are worth it, but Lord He doesn't care about all that. He's interested in Lady Song and her business.

Sharing a slice of the pie is just a pretext, once a breach is found, devouring Lady Song fully is just a matter of time.

"Honestly, Lord He is too domineering. Today it's Lady Song's business; tomorrow, it might be someone else's. If he succeeds this time, I fear..."

"Hasn't he succeeded yet? Besides, why worry over nothing? Is there anything in your family worth them coveting?"

"Say that again? I've tolerated you long enough..."

There were minor episodes in Hall No. 3, but none were significant. Those eligible to enter here were wealthy, or had rich families. Rivalries among young second-generation rich kids would often surface, but it's nothing new to the staff at Prosperous Advanced Leisure Club.

"Pay attention around Table No. 29 in Hall No. 3, ensure cleanliness, let the service staff be ready promptly." A supervisor upstairs communicated through a mini-earpiece with logistics.

The clock steadily pointed towards 9 PM as the banquet gradually proceeded towards its main agenda. It was then that Lady Song arrived fashionably late with Su Chen and the others.

"Lord, she's here," a sleazy man resembling a lackey whispered excitedly into the ear of a chillingly sinister-looking middle-aged man of short stature.

"Alright, let the God of Wine know,"

"Yes."

As Lady Song stepped through the doors of Hall No. 3, she instantly drew the attention of everyone present. Her attire was impossible to ignore, extremely alluring.

"Look, she's here!"

"Tsk tsk, no wonder she's a Queen. No wonder Lord He is being so forceful this time."

"Famed as much as seen, so this is Lady Song?"

...

Such comments came in waves, Lady Song walked towards the center expressionless.

"Everyone's aware of the purpose of this banquet. No need for excessive words. Lord He wants the shares of my business, not impossible. He's eager to gamble, isn't he? If he can outdrink my people, I'll give him half my shares. If he loses..."

Lady Song paused, her gaze directed at Lord He, peering down from the second floor: "If he loses, I don't need any compensation. I just want his promise to never covet my business, nor interfere in my affairs."

"Agreed! I promise!" Lord He's cold tone echoed in Hall No. 3.

In a blink, He made a surprising move by leaping down from the second floor.

"Bang!"

The second floor of Hall No. 3 wasn't a typical second floor.

The distance from the ground to the second floor was seven to eight meters!

That's almost three stories high!
