"Before I joined Azure Dragon Hall, I had already built a vast fortune. Over the years, I have not used the power of the Azure Dragon Hall to benefit my business. You could say, my prosperity today is not thanks to Azure Dragon Hall. In fact, over these years, Azure Dragon Hall has been taking countless amount of silver from me!"
"Yes, they did provide me with many strong bodyguards. But let's face it… if I had used the silver that Azure Dragon Hall took from me over these years to hire any other martial arts faction, I believe the bodyguards around me would be much stronger!"
"Besides that, the most significant benefit I got is the elixirs from the factions."
As Wang Dafa said this, his eyes reddened a bit: "But before I took these elixirs, I... didn't have these headaches!"
"I have never had any evidence of this, so I don't have much to say about it. But this time their actions have made me feel disappointed, even despairing."
"As of today, I fully understand that what Azure Dragon Hall wants is the vast wealth I, Wang Dafa, have created. As for myself… you've seen their attitude towards me. You must realise that what I'm telling you now is the truth, right?"
Chu Mo nodded: "Yes, you are correct."
"So this time, I'm going all in." Determination showed in Wang Dafa's eyes: "I know your master is not an ordinary man, he will not just stand by and watch you get hunted down. If I'm planning to pledge allegiance to you, I can't wait until everything settles down. That wouldn't demonstrate my sincerity."
Although Chu Mo had just returned and didn't know much about the recent events in Yanhuang City, he had read some intelligence reports and knew that Wang Dafa was telling the truth.
At this moment, Wang Dafa stood up and laughed at Chu Mo: "I'll call you 'younger brother' one last time, after today, I'll start calling you Young Master Chu!"
Chu Mo also stood up and smiled: "What you call me doesn't matter."
"No, it's important! I have some understanding of what Young Master Chu wants to do. Young Master Chu is someone with big ambitions. Therefore, we should still distinguish between seniority. " As Wang Dafa spoke, he knelt down before Chu Mo, and bowed his head to the ground, and then said, "From today onwards, I am Young Master Chu's financial manager! Any financial matters, I assure you, I have it under control! For however big Young Master's ambitions are, I, Wang Dafa, will have that much silver!"
Chu Mo quickly came over and helped Wang Dafa up, saying, "The price you're paying... is a bit too big!"
"No, this is just the first step!" Wang Dafa stood up, his eyes shining brightly, "The intelligence department of Young Master Chu, in my opinion, is a bit immature… cough, I have a direct way of speaking, please do not take offense, Young Master Chu."
Chu Mo shook his head to indicate he didn't mind.
Wang Dafa continued, "Miss Chu Yan is very diligent, highly talented and honestly, she's doing a great job! But she might not be able to fully support Young Master's ambitions. The one-armed housekeeper, Sui Hongru, at your house is probably more skilled in battlefield matters. Those elite retired veterans are all experts in their own right. But they need to go through specific training to adapt to your needs."
Wang Dafa looked at Chu Mo: "After all, this is the world of martial arts, not a battlefield!"
Chu Mo nodded in silence. Wang Dafa's words were reasonable- these issues were very clear to the One-Armed Uncle and Chu Yan as well. However, Chu Mo didn't have the luxury of choosing - it was out of desperation that they were put in these roles.
Wang Dafa continued, "As for Tenth Young Master Xu… although he excels in every aspect, his identity is arguably his biggest handicap! Tenth Young Master must have realised this point, which is why recently he has been cultivating in seclusion at home."
But Chu Mo knew very well that Xu Fufu must have been using the elixirs and was in seclusion to do so.
Wang Dafa looked at Chu Mo: "At the moment your intelligence department is sufficient for your needs. Now that I have sided with you, I don't want to give people the impression that I want control of everything. After all, even here, I have to wait until you fully trust me before I can do more."
Wang Dafa was fairly straightforward, almost discussing all the matters frankly.
Although Chu Mo once jokingly suggested he should work for him, Chu Mo never expected Wang Dafa would have the determination to betray Azure Dragon Hall and place all his bets on Chu Mo.
"Aren't you afraid of Azure Dragon Hall's revenge?" Chu Mo asked with a smile.
"Of course I am." Wang Dafa said in a severe tone, "I have seen the master of Azure Dragon Hall once before and while I am not skilled in combat and can't judge his strength, according to the information I've received over the years, I know he is an unfathomable man. However, if Young Master Chu could offend the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird factions without hesitation for his friends, then I, Wang Dafa, although not so daring, do have the courage to leave Azure Dragon Hall!"
"That's excellent!" Chu Mo said earnestly: "Just for those words alone, You find a man and I will guarantee his safety!"
There was a moment of emotion in Wang Dafa's eyes: "Then, from now on, I, Wang Dafa, am obliged to Young Master Chu!"
"What do you most aspire to?" Chu Mo looked at Wang Dafa and asked softly.
Wang Dafa thought for a moment and said: "To become the most famous businessman on the Four Symbols Continent! I hope that one day, whether in the secular world or among the sects, when people mention Wang Dafa, they will all give a thumbs up and say: He is the most impressive businessman on the Four Symbols Continent!"
"Hahaha, alright, let's work towards this goal together!" Chu Mo laughed, reaching out his hand and giving Wang Dafa a high five as a vow.
Subsequently, there were constantly people sending invitation letters and asking for meetings. Wang Dafa didn't stay for too long. After exchanging a few words with Chu Mo, he took his leave.
Now that he had made his decision, he had a lot of preparations to make.
The most important thing was to anticipate the coming retaliation from Azure Dragon Hall.
Azure Dragon Hall, in the entire Four Symbols Continent, counts as a significant entity. As an essential figure within this large power, Wang Dafa's betrayal would undoubtedly infuriate the Azure Dragon Hall.
But Wang Dafa was smart enough. He knew very well what Azure Dragon Hall wanted to do right now was not to eliminate him, Wang Dafa. To Azure Dragon Hall, a businessman like him with weak combat skills, when to kill him wouldn't matter much.
At present, the top priority for the Azure Dragon Hall would definitely be to eliminate Chu Mo!
Therefore, with Chu Mo – this big tree, blocking everything, Wang Dafa was still safe for the time being.
Even if Chu Mo truly can't match Azure Dragon Hall and gets defeated, wasn't there the Black Tortoise Palace and White Tiger Temple as back up?
To big businessmen like Wang Dafa, there will always be a backup plan.
After Wang Dafa left, the large chicken lying on the chair lazily said, "This human is very clever! If used properly, he could be your right-hand man." (To be continued.
