Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After spotting the Anthonys, Li Du, who had been chatting happily with Playboy, could not laugh anymore.

He asked, “Why are they here?”

Bell smiled and said, “That’s why I told you guys earlier that we will bump into some people in our trade and that hopefully, you guys won’t mind.”

Having said that, he turned to Li Du. “Boss Li, we are all in the same trade. I know that you have an idiom in Chinese that says that enemies should resolve their conflicts and not deepen them. Will you be able to resolve your tiff with George and Conrad?”

Li Du had great respect for Bell. After hearing Bell’s words, he sighed, “As you know, Chris, I always listen to what you say. What I mean is, I can do that. I can do what you just said. However, they might not be willing. I think we will not be able to be friends.”

Hearing Li Du’s words, Bell relaxed. He patted Li Du’s shoulder and said, “Ha, good enough as long as you guys don’t stay enemies.”

Saying that, he took the initiative to greet the Anthonys, “Hi, George, Conrad, long time no see. It’s great to see you guys here again...”

The Anthonys had also spotted Li Du. Conrad was no longer as rash as before. When he saw Li Du, he did not fly into a rage. He just took a few steps back cautiously.

George had been smiling, and after seeing Li Du, his expression did not change.

Magic Hand did not have good feelings towards George. After spotting him, he asked Li Du, “This dude’s right ankle, is it related to you?”

Li Du was confused. He asked, “What happened to his right ankle?”

Magic Hand said, “He had a fracture. He was hit with by hammer. Until now, he has been going to physical therapy at the Kennedy Orthopedic Hospital. For the rest of his life, he will only be able to walk with a cane. People say that after he provoked you, you got some gangster to do that.”

Li Du hummed. “Rubbish, I’ve never done that sort of thing. Who was the one who started the rumors?”

Playboy said unhappily, “Who else can it be? It must be that father-son pair who dumped the blame on you. It’s what they deserve, though, as they were the ones who offended the gangsters!”

After hearing Playboy, Li Du realized what happened.

Magic Hand started to get interested and joined in to ask, “What happened? What happened?”

Playboy said, “That bastard contacted a local gang in Henderson. I remember that gang was called Eagle Beak Gang or something like that. George Anthony once promised to help the Eagle Beak Gang to make a lot of money, but he caused them to take a loss instead. The gangsters felt that he did it intentionally and that he had teamed up with outsiders to cheat them. Hence, the gang taught the two of them a fierce lesson.”

Magic Hand look at Li Du and said, “You were the person that the Eagle Beak Gang thought the Anthonys ganged up with, right?”

Li Du said, “Guess so. I can’t recall clearly anymore. It happened too long ago. Anyway, my conscience is clear.”

Playboy shook his head again. “Two stupid parties joined hands and both sides lost. I’ve seen many such instances.”

Li Du had not told many people about the Henderson episode, and neither had the Anthonys. Many knew that the Anthonys had been taught a lesson by the Eagle Beak Gang, but they did not know the details.

Li Du guessed that Playboy roughly knew what happened. Henderson was close to Las Vegas, and Playboy had close relationships with the gangs over there. He would have been able to learn about that issue from them.

Soon, more people arrived. The bosses from the two IT companies were named Kelly Coaster and Anderson Walls. The top management man from IBM was Dou Chengtao, whose English name was Jost.

Later, a tall middle-aged man rushed over. When he jumped off his electric car, he started to apologize. “Sorry, sorry, Coaster. It’s not that I wanted to act like a big shot by arriving late. D*mn, a meeting was suddenly called. As the organizer, I could not leave...”

Needless to say, that was the COO from Boeing Group, Kapoli Blues.

After Kapoli arrived, he became the center of attraction. Everyone was looking at him.

Bell went up and gave him a hug. Kapoli relaxed and said to everyone, “Thank god that there are so many new friends here. You guys saved me.”

Dou Chengtao asked, “What do you mean?”

Kapoli made a helpless face and said, “Chris carries the air of a gentleman in the public’s eye. But in private, if I dare to be late, he would definitely give me a harsh beating!”

As he said that, everyone started to laugh, although there was nothing funny. However, as he was cracking a joke, everyone else complied.

Bell put his hand on Kapoli’s shoulder and smiled. “Don’t spoil my image, buddy. You are defaming me brutally.”

Kapoli made an exaggerated face. He widened his eyes and said, “I’m defaming you? God, you guys have to believe me. As far as I can remember, all the beatings I got were from Chris, this as*hole. I left Los Angeles and came to Seattle because I wanted to hide from his iron fist!”

“Chris only hits his friends. That’s a friendly punch. There’s one expert with a real iron fist here, right, Mr. Li?” Coaster smiled at Li Du.

Li Du, who had been grinning, frowned. Then he asked, “I’m not sure what you mean. Do we have another expert puncher here?”

Coaster said, “He might not be an expert at punching. However, he is the boss of a gang. Heard that he is very powerful in Las Vegas.”

He must be talking about Playboy now, Li Du understood. Li Du looked to him and asked softly, “How did you offend him?”

Playboy looked confused. “He’s talking about me? I don’t know him. Besides, what power do I have in Las Vegas? He can’t know anything about me, right?”

The rest of the men were even more clueless as to what Coaster said. Kapoli smiled and asked, “Hey, Kelly, what do you mean? How did the conversation move to the gangs in Las Vegas?”

Coaster smiled, patted Anthony’s shoulder and said, “Nothing, I just suddenly thought of it. My buddy here had been beaten up by someone who got the gangsters to do so. You know about that, right, Mr. Li?”

It was the second time he had mentioned Li Du and gangsters in one sentence. Everyone arrived at some understanding that Li Du must have something to do with that.

Li Du pursed his lips and stayed silent. He would not damage Bell’s reputation.

Bell came out to salvage the situation. “Ha, Kelly, did something like that happen? I think it’s best to connect with the local police force. All of us here are law-abiding good citizens, we don’t know about such things. Oh yeah, Kapoli, remember that bet of ours? The bet of the 18th hole. Today I brought some good helpers to support me.”

Saying that, he pulled Magic Hand forward. At the same time, he winked at Li Du, signaling to him.

Li Du smiled and nodded, looking like he was at ease.

Kapoli shook hands with Magic Hand and said, “Hello, buddy, you’re here to support Chris? Sorry about that, I might have to make it difficult for you today.”

Magic Hand rubbed the golf club and said, “I’ve been waiting. Buddy, let’s have an exchange between the professionals.”
