82: Chapter 82 First Arrival at the Emperor's Pavilion

The Emperors Pavilion, which was previously unknown to them, was now even calmer.

As the gathering place for Tao Wei and his people, the Emperors Pavilion only became lively on special occasions.

Right now, the place was eerily quiet. Of course, this was just how it appeared from the outside.

Zhang Shan and Gu Nan arrived inside the Emperors Pavilion.

The place, which had been so quiet you could hear a pin drop, was now filled with thunderous snoring.

"Shan Zi, it seems this Emperors Pavilion isn't all that impressive."

Gu Nan was speechless upon hearing the snoring.

When Zhang Shan and Gu Nan walked into the main hall, they saw sturdy men lying on the sofas, fast asleep.

Gu Nan leaned over and whispered into Zhang Shan's ear.

"These men look capable. Even while sleeping, they are clutching their guns in a defensive posture; it seems they have been trained. These people shouldn't be underestimated. We need to be careful."

Zhang Shan nodded, indicating he understood.

The lackey in the surveillance room saw they had reached the main hall and immediately notified Tao Wei and his men.

"Boss, those two have reached the main hall, but..."

"They've arrived? It seems they've come at just the right time. And what else? Can't you just finish your sentence instead of saying 'but'?"

Tao Wei was very dissatisfied with his subordinate's hesitation; what time did he think it was to be acting like this?

"It's just that... our gang members are currently fast asleep in the main hall. Perhaps because they waited too long for them, they lowered their guard."

The lackey took a deep breath and blurted everything out all at once.

"Damn it, they are dead meat. Once I finish dealing with this, I'll show them! Wake them up for me."

Just as Tao Wei was instructing his subordinate to wake his men, Zhang Shan had already done it for them.

"Hey! Wake up!" Zhang Shan kicked one of the sleeping burly men with his foot.

The man woke up with a jolt.

"Who's there?" The man who had been kicked flipped over and stood up, looking at Zhang Shan and Gu Nan vigilantly.

Following the man's shout, the more than 100 burly men sleeping in the Emperors Pavilion rose from their slumber and looked at the two of them warily.

"Tsk tsk, and you call yourselves the elite of the elite? Oh my, to be able to sleep at a time like this, I'm truly impressed. Aren't you afraid someone might ambush you?"

Although Zhang Shan spoke with disdain, judging by their reactions, these men had definitely undergone high-intensity training. They were certainly not ordinary people. It seemed there was a reason why Moriarty was so afraid of the Dragon Tiger Gang.

"Oh my, what a rare guest, what a rare guest! Is that Mr. Robinson who has come?"

Just then, a voice came from the staircase. Zhang Shan and Gu Nan looked up and saw Tao Wei and a few subordinates walking down the stairs.

"Why bother with such hypocrisy? You knew I was coming, didn't you? Why pretend to be so surprised? Your acting is truly too clumsy."

Zhang Shan cut through Tao Wei's hypocritical pleasantries.

"Hahaha. Mr. Robinson, how can you say that? After all, it was I who sent Wang Lei to invite you; I suppose I count as half a host."

He didn't care about Zhang Shan's attitude at all; to him, face was an optional thing anyway. He continued to speak with a grin on his face.

"How is it that Mr. Robinson only brought one person with him?" Tao Wei asked, feigning ignorance.

"Heh, are you blind?"

Zhang Shan retorted directly.

Although Tao Wei had been snapped at by Zhang Shan, he wasn't angry in the slightest. On the contrary, seeing that Zhang Shan had only brought one person, he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, according to Wang Lei's description, Zhang Shan was an incredibly formidable person, but now there were only two of them. He didn't believe they could turn things upside down.

Furthermore, this time, Master Sun had told him to bring so many people to deal with this Robinson; he couldn't afford to lose, otherwise, where would he, Tao Wei, put his face in the future?

Moreover, in Tao Wei's opinion, no matter how powerful Zhang Shan was, or how outstanding his companion was, in this Zhili Country, the Dragon Tiger Gang was one of the top gangs. So, if he wanted his life, no one could save him.

In Tao Wei's view, Zhang Shan was just a small fry who couldn't stir up any big waves; the number of men Master Sun had given him this time was simply overkill.

He didn't believe that just these two people could turn the sky upside down.

"Oh? Do you mean we've walked right into a trap? Oh, right. Sorry, I don't know your name yet. Could you state your name first, just to scare me, scare me?"

Zhang Shan smiled, his tone still relaxed and indifferent.

"Hahaha. Mr. Robinson, you truly have a short memory. In that case, let me introduce myself. My name is Tao Wei, and I am the temporary boss of the Dragon Tiger Gang."

Tao Wei said somewhat arrogantly; after all, with so many subordinates here, he wasn't afraid of what they could do.

"Tao Wei? The temporary boss? Otter, do you know him? I've only heard of Xia Wei; I really haven't heard of this Tao Wei."

Zhang Shan looked at Gu Nan with a confused expression.

"Don't know him, don't know him. Haven't heard of any such person in Zhili."

Tao Wei watched them singing in harmony about his lack of fame, a fire burning in his heart.

He tried hard to force a smile.

"Mr. Robinson, it doesn't matter if you don't know me, but Mr. Robinson should remember this. Your company acquired the Sun Group a while ago. I don't have any other business; I just want to ask when we can withdraw our shares. When can we get the money for the withdrawn shares?" Tao Wei said.

"Are you sick in the head? Although Aolu Company is under my name, I don't manage it. Why on earth are you coming to me?"

Zhang Shan suddenly realized that they were here to cause trouble because of the acquisition of their company! But this matter had nothing to do with him. After all, the company was being managed by Xia Wei and Zhang San; he didn't interfere at all.

"What are you saying? Do you mean to say, Mr. Robinson, that you're going to renege, shirk responsibility, and refuse to pay up?"

When Tao Wei heard that Aolu Company wasn't under his management, he instantly got a bit angry.

"You are not being precise at all. I didn't say I wouldn't pay back, nor did I say I wouldn't let you withdraw your shares, right? It's just that I don't manage that company right now, so you shouldn't be coming to me. Besides, Aolu Company is currently managed by someone named Zhang San. Can't you just go to him directly? Why come to me?"

Zhang Shan smiled and said calmly to Tao Wei.

"Hmph, Robinson, do you take me for an idiot? Does Zhang San's word count? You are the biggest boss; if your word doesn't count, then whose does?"

Tao Wei snorted coldly.
