Chapter 4: Each with their own ulterior motives, they scheme against each other.
"Brother, you are skilled and your methods are authentic. You are a master in this field. We are newcomers and have not yet paid you a visit. We have overstepped our bounds and hope you will forgive us."
The middle-aged man at the head of the group had a thousand thoughts running through his mind, but he quickly lowered his posture and politely clasped his hands in greeting.
His companions were completely bewildered, especially the young man, whose face turned bright red with anxiety.
"No, Second Uncle, what are you talking about!"
"That little brat is so nosy, he..."
Before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man in the lead suddenly turned extremely ugly, turned around and slapped him hard across the neck, cursing loudly.
"You idiot, you're ignorant and incompetent, you don't even know the rules of the underworld?"
"Apologize to this expert immediately!"
Young man: "Huh?"
The middle-aged man in the lead said, "What do you mean, 'huh'? I've told you countless times to focus on improving your skills, but you bunch of brats just wouldn't listen! You deserve to be taught a lesson now!"
at the same time.
Lin Yaozu had no intention of getting involved in the other party's act; instead, he looked the group of seven or eight thieves up and down.
A thief will be rewarded with 500.
These seven or eight people in front of me together would cost at least four thousand, and since they're a gang, there might even be extra rewards.
If he weren't afraid of losing, he would have charged in long ago.
Eh!
Why didn't the system gift pack include any fighting skills?
Nowadays, we can only outsmart them, not act brute force.
As for a clean break and going their separate ways, that's absolutely impossible.
Since he's fortunate enough to have met him, it's only right that Lin Yaozu makes another windfall.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man in the lead was also pondering how to keep the blond-haired man on the other side.
No matter how arrogant he is, his skills are truly amazing, and we must find a way to take him down.
Even if we can't retain people, we still need to acquire those skills.
After all, for a thief, being discovered while working is naturally more advantageous than not being discovered.
After that, the middle-aged man put on a smiling face and took the initiative to invite him, while Lin Yaozu readily agreed and slightly toned down his arrogant and domineering attitude.
In the blink of an eye, the two who were just at loggerheads were now arm in arm, acting like good buddies.
The other underlings were completely bewildered, scratching their heads in confusion, utterly baffled as to why things had turned out this way.
A moment later, in a private room of a restaurant, one main dish after another was served, and boxes of liquor were brought in.
Lin Yaozu and the middle-aged man sat close together, clinking glasses and chatting as they ate and inquired about each other's backgrounds.
"Never seen you before, bro. Where do you eat?"
"Hahaha... I'm a wanderer, nothing to boast about. May I ask where you work, my friend?"
"Me? Just an ordinary small-time hoodlum! I only have a little connection with Brother Biao and Tiger! By the way! Are you only bringing these guys this time, bro? Aren't you going to invite the others to come eat with us?"
"Hehehe... Everyone else is busy, we can just pack some to take home later!"
"..."
The two men wore fake smiles and exchanged barbs, while their underlings silently ate their food.
"Delicious...so delicious...Second Uncle...stop wasting time arguing with him, the food is best enjoyed hot, come and have a shrimp!"
The young man next to the middle-aged man was quite thoughtful; while eating, he didn't forget to serve food to his friend and curry favor.
Unfortunately, his attempt to flatter backfired.
This behavior made the middle-aged man feel quite embarrassed.
Look at Lin Yaozu next to him, slow and unhurried.
Then look at the guys around me, they look like they've been reincarnated from starving ghosts.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the angrier I get, the more I think about it.
In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man could no longer maintain his composure and began to curse.
"You idiot! How many times have I told you! You have to use your job title when you're working! All you do is eat! You have no manners at all! You've completely embarrassed me!"
The young man only half understood what he was hearing, and his mind was full of questions.
plant?
What plant?
My second uncle wants to eat vegetarian food?
Although he didn't understand, he still thoughtfully picked up two stalks of green vegetables.
The middle-aged man's lips twitched, and he glared at the young man through gritted teeth.
Lose your face!
That's so embarrassing!
Not far away, Lin Yaozu was watching the show so intently that he could hardly suppress the smirk on his face.
With such a group of clowns around, the other party must have it really tough.
Instead of having headaches every day outside, it's better to go in and study hard, and get a government job.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Yaozu suddenly realized that he was a really good person.
More than two hours later, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and got up to walk out the door.
At the cashier, a middle-aged man, slightly drunk, was shouting loudly.
"Although this is our first meeting as brothers, we hit it off immediately, so this meal must be on my behalf."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yaozu reflexively declined with a couple of words.
"Oh! How can I let you treat me! You've come from afar, so let me treat you!"
The next moment, the middle-aged man glared, slammed his hand on the cash register, and replied decisively.
"Okay! You come!"
Lin Yaozu: "???"
No!
Wait a minute!
Is there something off about your lines?
Let's continue with the pleasantries!
Keep vying to pay the bill!
At the same moment, his seven or eight underlings chimed in with their own words.
"May our ancestor treat us more often!"
"Grandpa was so generous!"
"One more pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, to go, add it to the final bill!"
"..."
Lin Yaozu: "???"
good good!
Is this how you play it?!
Are they going to use this tactic?
Row!
Behold my Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand!
The next instant, Lin Yaozu pulled out a wallet from his pocket, ready to open it and pay.
"Wait a minute!"
The middle-aged man reached out to block it.
Lin Yaozu wore a fake smile, raised his eyebrows slightly, and spoke politely.
"What's wrong, bro! I promised I'd treat you this time!"
The middle-aged man's face twitched.
"Hey bro, fine, go ahead and use it, but can you use your own wallet?"
The underlings turned their gazes and recognized that the wallet clearly belonged to their boss, and they were all amazed.
This is what you call treating me?
Paying with someone else's wallet?
At that moment, they felt like green recruits, somewhat out of place.
When Lin Yaozu was caught red-handed, he wasn't embarrassed at all and casually replied in a natural manner.
"Why are we brothers distinguishing between 'yours' and 'mine'? Besides, who am I? Why should I carry a wallet when I go out?"
The underlings all gasped in shock.
"hiss……"
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
"Uh... hiss..."
At first, I couldn't quite grasp it and thought those words were shameless.
But on second thought, it makes a lot of sense.
Why would a thief carry a wallet? Everyone on the street has their own wallet!
What is an industry standard?
This is a living industry benchmark!
The pretentiousness is subtle and intangible; those outside the field simply won't understand it.
At this moment, the underlings felt an inexplicable sense of awe and reverence, as if they had seen some kind of idol.
That's absolutely amazing!

Not far away, the middle-aged man who had been taken advantage of felt furious.
good good!
Is this how you treat people?
You're treating!
I'm paying for this?
You got all the benefits, but I have to pay the price.
Dog day!
How could someone do something so shameless and disgusting?
Have you no shame at all?
