Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Chapter 200 The Cold DVD

Meng Chuan regretted it.

He really underestimated Fifth Master.

Meng Chuan thought that people like Fifth Master who roamed the underworld were all physically strong but mentally weak.

In reality, old people are shrewd and cunning, and this old man has just as many tricks up his sleeve.

His bottom line is clearly five percent.

But the first thing he says is fifty percent.

This truly exemplifies what it means to ask for an exorbitant price and then negotiate a lower one.

"Don't be so quick to feel sorry for yourself. In a place like Shanghai, money is useless. In fact, the more money you have, the faster you'll die."

Looking at Meng Chuan's distressed expression, Fifth Master said irritably.

"Okay, you're absolutely right."

Meng Chuan said helplessly.

Then, changing the subject, he said:

"However, there's one thing you have to promise me."

"Say it!"

Fifth Master was clearly in a good mood and spoke with great magnanimity.

"Is the person you sent to me reliable? If he's unruly, I won't tolerate him."

Meng Chuan had to lay the unpleasant truth out in advance.

Fifth Master is a gangster, so those who follow him must also be gangsters.

Meng Chuan was genuinely worried that he wouldn't be able to handle this kind of shady character.

If someone violates guild rules or breaks the law, it will affect more than just the guild.

Meng Chuan might even be implicated.

"That's a problem."

Fifth Master pondered for a moment, then took off a blue thumb ring from his hand.

“This is my token. Anyone who dares to violate the rules, you shall deal with them seriously. If they dare to disobey, just take out this ring, and they will definitely listen to you.”

As he spoke, Fifth Master handed the thumb ring to Meng Chuan.

"Is it really that amazing? It's like something out of a movie."

Meng Chuan took the ring, but was still very suspicious.

Meng Chuan had only ever seen this kind of thing in novels or movies.

Would anyone in real life actually obey a thumb ring? That's so childish!

"You can give it back to me if you don't want it. So many people are fighting over this ring!"

Fifth Master said irritably.

"One should not refuse a gift from an elder; how can one expect it back after giving it away?"

Meng Chuan quickly put the ring on his hand.

To be valued so highly by Fifth Master, one must be extraordinary.

"Oh, there's one more thing."

Meng Chuan spoke again.

"Are you ever going to stop? I only got five percent of the shares for five hundred million, and you keep making demands, are you ever going to stop?"

Fifth Master glared angrily at Meng Chuan.

"the last one."

Meng Chuan chuckled awkwardly:

"You said before that the Sun family and the Shen family are targeting me, so I have to consider my own safety! I'm thinking of hiring a few bodyguards..."

"Why hire bodyguards? I'll make the arrangements in the underworld, no one will dare to touch you."

Fifth Master interrupted domineeringly.

"You can protect me for a while, but can you protect me forever? You said it yourself, the Sun family hired thugs from out of town. Out-of-towners may not even know Fifth Master."

Meng Chuan was not polite at all.

"you……"

Fifth Master was furious; he had actually been looked down upon by Meng Chuan.

There are some things he just can't explain.

"The DVD, come in."

Fifth Master said somewhat angrily.

As Fifth Master finished speaking, a ghostly woman suddenly appeared behind Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan turned around and was startled.

It wasn't just the way the woman made her entrance, but more importantly, her attire.

A black leather bodysuit perfectly accentuated her shapely figure.

He was even slightly taller than Meng Chuan.

A short black stick was tucked into his waistband.

This look is exactly like the outfit of a female assassin in a movie.

And he looks quite young, probably in his early twenties.

But it gives people a feeling of coldness and aloofness.

Meng Chuan felt that his worldview had been greatly impacted.

Could it be that when I wake up from this dream, the world has changed?

Do these people really exist in this world, with masters of internal energy or superpowered individuals?

"Her codename is Disc. She is proficient in Sanda, Tai Chi, Wing Chun, grappling, jujitsu, ninjutsu, and assassination. From now on, she will be responsible for protecting your safety."

Fifth Master said calmly.

"Is she that powerful? Does she know internal energy?"

Meng Chuan asked in shock.

"Internal energy? You've been reading too many novels."

Fifth Master rolled his eyes at Meng Chuan in annoyance.

Meng Chuan blushed, a rare occurrence for him.

Thankfully, it's still the same world.

"So, between her and Alice's bodyguard, who's more capable?"

Meng Chuan suddenly thought of Natasha.

Back in the private room, Natasha was quick and agile.

One person alone defeated all the thugs that Sun Dashan brought.

"If it's an assassination, Natasha won't survive a second. In a direct confrontation, Natasha won't last a minute."

Fifth Master said confidently.

These are the absolute elites he has trained.

"so smart?"

Meng Chuan stared incredulously at the DVD beside him.

The DVD player, however, behaved like a robot from beginning to end.

Meng Chuan couldn't sense any emotional fluctuation in her.

It was as if Meng Chuan and Fifth Master weren't talking about her.

"Alright, is there anything else? If not, you can go back now!"

Fifth Master waved his hand, seemingly a little tired.

Meng Chuan said goodbye and left.

However, after Meng Chuan and the DVD left.

Fifth Master suddenly started coughing violently.

He quickly covered his mouth, his face contorted in pain.

"Fifth Master, are you alright?"

An old man suddenly appeared nervously beside Fifth Master.

It was the same old man who had led the way for Meng Chuan earlier.

"Sigh! I'm afraid it won't last more than a few years."

Fifth Master chuckled self-deprecatingly, a hint of melancholy on his face.

"But Fifth Master, can he really be trusted? You actually entrusted the gang with..."

The old man hadn't finished speaking.

Fifth Master raised his hand to stop him, saying:

"We need to change our old ideas and traditions. Only by changing them can we adapt to the trends of this era."

Fifth Master sighed softly and said:

"He has a clean background and began to rise after the car accident, creating miracles one after another."

"But he still doesn't understand how this world really works."

“We can provide him with protection, and he can also bring new changes to us; this should be the best combination.”

"But……"

The old man seemed to have a different opinion.

But Fifth Master interrupted again:

"There are no buts. Pass the word down: the ring is in his hands, and everyone must obey his orders. But we can't tell him the truth for now. Anyone who dares to disobey will be dealt with according to the gang rules."

"it is good!"

The old man agreed and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, Meng Chuan arrived at the first floor of the Blackman Bar.

To Meng Chuan's surprise, the receptionist informed him that Alice and Natasha had already left.

Meng Chuan was speechless for a moment, and could only take the DVD and take a taxi back.

"Um, my name is Meng Chuan. I can't bring you into the school! You're off-campus..."

Inside the car, Meng Chuan spoke to the DVD player.

"I'm only responsible for your safety; you don't need to worry about me. I'll appear whenever you need me. If you have any problems, just raise your right hand, and I'll be there too."

The disc is open.

She wasn't just cold in person, her voice was even colder.

It's really like a machine without any feelings.

Most importantly, she didn't even glance at Meng Chuan once throughout the entire process.

"What a waste of such a face."

Meng Chuan silently complained to himself.

I don't know if she was born this way or if she was trained to be.

If it's the latter, Meng Chuan really feels sorry for her.

I really don't know what kind of brutal training this girl went through to become like this.

"That……"

Meng Chuan opened his mouth again.

But the DVD player preemptively stated:
