Blue Ocean was the most famous coffeehouse in Jingdong.
The coffeehouse was quite big. Xiao Bing gave the place a sweeping glance after he walked in and found Eguchi Nakayama sitting beside a window. He was looking out the window, not knowing Xiao Bing had arrived.
According to the chief executive, Eguchi Nakayama was not a powerful master but just a thug. He earned his position by flattering and fawning on the princess. Of course, a person had to have the ability to know what people liked. The chief executive didn’t deny it.
Xiao Bing walked over and sat in front of Eguchi Nakayama, who tapped the table after he saw Xiao Bing. Then he raised his hand and bellowed, “Waiter, come here a minute!”
Soon a waiter approached. Looking at Xiao Bing, Eguchi Nakayama asked, “What would you like to drink?”
“Coffee.”
“Okay. One cup of coffee for each of us.”
The waiter nodded and took his leave.
Xiao Bing said quietly, “The ambience here is quite good.”
“Yes. Actually I hate drinking coffee with weird names. It feels like I’m forcing myself to drink something bitter.”
The waiter came with two cups of coffee, each of which was then placed in front of Xiao Bing and Eguchi Nakayama respectively. “Please enjoy the coffee.”
Eguchi Nakayama continued, “But I always wanted to know what it feels like to be live an upperclass life. Now that I’m rich, I naturally want to live as a rich man. I don’t care if it’s bitter or not. What matters is that it makes me feel good.”
Xiao Bing grinned, “That sounds philosophical.”
“Well, I used to be a thug, not a philosopher. Mr. Aoki, I have something to discuss with you, so I arranged this meeting.”
Staring at Eguchi Nakayama, Xiao Bing asked, “What is it?”
Eguchi Nakayama took out a cheque from his chest pocket, placed it on the table and pushed it towards Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing looked at it and saw that it was for the amount of three million, which was almost equal to two million RMB. Though it was nothing for Xiao Bing, it was still a considerable amount for common people.
Xiao Bing raised his head and looked at Eguchi Nakayama without accepting the cheque. “Mr. Eguchi, what do you mean by this?” He asked in a calm tone.
“I know it is nearly nothing to you. You are the winner of the competition, which means that you will never be short of money. But still, don’t refuse something free. Mr. Aoki, it won’t do you any good if you keep by the princess’s side. You know well her attitude towards you. You should leave now. She is a fickle princess. Have you ever imagined what might happen when she loses her temper?”
Xiao Bing shook his head, “No. And I don’t plan to leave.”
Eguchi Nakayama looked at the coffee and said, “This is different from coffee. You will only feel bitter when drinking coffee. But sometimes, if you make the wrong decision, you might lose your life.”
“Lose my life? Who would want to kill me?”
“It might be the princess or someone else.”
Xiao Bing looked at Eguchi Nakayama and asked, “Mr. Eguchi, is that ‘someone else’ yourself?”
Eguchi Nakayama didn’t deny it. “Actually, I don’t like you, because you make me feel threatened. I used to live the life of a gangster. I know the importance of striking first. I have always eliminated the danger whenever I feel threatened. But I admire you and it’s unnecessary for you to stay with the princess, who already hates you. If you choose to leave now, we can be friends and this cheque will belong to you.”
Xiao Bing pushed the cheque back to Eguchi Nakayama and shook his head
A hint of anger flickered in Eguchi Nakayama’s eyes. “Don’t be so insatiable. It’s a lot of money. Sooner or later you will get yourself killed if you stay on here.”
Xiao Bing smiled, “It’s not about the money. I won’t leave this place unless I want to. This coffee is quite good. If you don’t have anything else, I will take my leave.”
Eguchi Nakayama’s eyes turned gloomy. After Xiao Bing left the coffee house, he put away the cheque and called a number. “Prepare for action!”
Xiao Bing walked out of the coffeehouse and drove to the manor. He didn’t fear Eguchi Nakayama’s intimidation. He knew that sooner or later Eguchi Nakayama will deal with him. But it didn’t matter now. He promised the executive that he would kill this man. He would not mind doing it ahead of schedule.
Xiao Bing was about a mile away from the manor when the road was blocked by a trunk. Xiao Bing stopped the car the drove backwards instantly. But there were two cars blocking his from behind. A number of men got out of the cars.
A cold smile touched Xiao Bing’s lips. Xiao Bing was not surprised. Actually, Xiao Bing had already noticed that he was being followed on his way back and Xiao Bing gathered that it was either Eguchi Nakayama or his men. As expected, Eguchi Nakayama was among them.
Xiao Bing got out and found six men around Eguchi Nakayama. They all looked like thugs. At the same time, a dozen men jumped out from the bush on both sides of the road. They were all armed with sabers. Eguchi Nakayama even took out a gun from his chest.
Xiao Bing pretended to be confused, “Mr. Eguchi, why did you choose to welcome me here?”
Eguchi Nakayama grinned viciously, “I’m not here to welcome you. I’m here to offer you a ride.”
“To where?”
“To hell!”
“That’s the last place I want to go.”
The moment he finished speaking, he drew his saber as fast as lightning and knocked over several men with the back of it. By the time the others realized what was happening, Xiao Bing was already lunging at them and knocking them down one by one. Then Xiao Bing fixed his eyes on Eguchi Nakayama and sighed, “Your time with the princess was too short, which makes you know little about real martial artists.
Eguchi Nakayama was nothing more than a local ruffian who likes to fawn. The men here used to work for him. He summoned them today to deal with Xiao Bing. He believed that though Moki Ichiro learned some martial arts, there was no doubt he would be overpowered by his men. Besides, he brought a gun with him. But before he could use it, his men were all down. He looked at Xiao Bing in total disbelief.
Xiao Bing put on a languid smile, but there was a cold flicker in his eyes. “The others can live, but not you.”
When Eguchi Nakayama saw his men being beaten to unconsciousness, he thought Xiao Bing only wanted to teach them a lesson. Yet he never expected Xiao Bing to want him dead.
No one on earth would not care about his life, let alone a man who just had a taste of the riches of life. He leveled his gun, believing that Xiao Bing could not be faster than it.
But Xiao Bing’s saber was faster. The moment he raised his gun, the saber flashed. Later his hands were cut off at the wrist and they fell to the ground. Eguchi Nakayama wailed in agony, his eyes wide open.
Xiao Bing didn’t show any mercy. He cut the man’s throat and watched him twitching on the ground. Life flowed out of this man. Then Xiao Bing left.
Xiao Bing didn’t believe that these rascals would report him for killing Eguchi Nakayama. Though men like them seemed to value brotherhood greatly, they actually cared more about their life than anything else.
If they were to report him, the police would investigate them first, because it was they wanted to kill Xiao Bing first. The police might think that Xiao Bing killed in self-defense. Besides, they were afraid that Xiao Bing might seek vengeance from then if they reported him. They didn’t want to share Eguchi Nakayama’s fate.
Xiao Bing moved the trunk on the road and drove to the manor. He pulled over and called the executive. “I’ve dealt with Eguchi Nakayama. He’ll never come back.”
The chief executive was surprised at first. Then his surprise gave way to excitement. “Already? That’s great. Thank you, Mr. Aoki. Don’t worry, the police won’t investigate this case. I’ll see to it.”
That was the reason why Xiao Bing made this call. He accomplished the chief executive’s goal, and the old man was obliged to deal with the aftermath.
“Mr. Aoki, may I know your next plan? Keep protecting the princess or leave this place?”
“I believe that the princess won’t care too much about Eguchi Nakayama now. You can just tell her that he left for some reason. As for my plan, since I have signed the contract, I will adhere to it.”
“Well, I should leave it to you then. You did me a favor this time, Mr. Aoki.”
“You’re welcome. I didn’t like that man, either. He didn’t have the conscience a man should have.”
