I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 789: Maneuvering Through

"He didn't tell you what exactly is the relationship between us two?"

"No, he never mentioned it to me, and besides, I'm not clear on it either."

"Actually, I don't know if you are aware of what kind of situation this Brother Shui is in locally?"

"Of course, I know. If not for his background identity, it would not be possible for me to hide so well here. Actually, this person does have his usefulness, and he also has his merits. He is rather righteous in his dealings, but he is quite greedy for money and even somewhat lascivious."

"That's right, lascivious. It's because he had his eyes on my person previously. If I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid my person would have already been dealt with by him..."

"Oh, I see. So you're saying it's because of this matter, because of a woman, that you held this vendetta against him, right?"

"I didn't plan to make a big issue initially, but unexpectedly, the situation grew bigger and bigger. He called all his people, so I had no choice but to take action."

"Hehe, there's nothing to be done. They can only be said to be overestimating themselves. His subordinates, those people, from what I see, are all old, weak, sick, and disabled, completely insignificant. Even if they all act together, I guess they wouldn't be a match for you."

"I didn't take it seriously at all, and when I went to fight, I only used a third of my strength. If I had used my full power, I'm afraid no one would have been able to leave here alive."

"Good, it's mainly this point that I understand. Isn't this the relationship between you two? Is there anything else?"

"Nephew, actually I'm currently running a company, and I've been helping someone. I've recently discovered many secrets hidden within this company, and these secrets are somewhat related to Brother Shui."

"Okay, related to him; what about it? Is he also involved in it?"

"Actually, between Brother Shui and I, we don't have personal conflicts of interest, but he has now infringed upon the company's interests, so I must get involved."

"So that means, if you two were to sit down and negotiate seriously, there's really no possibility of that?"

"It's not that there's no possibility. I can help him find his own benefits through another approach, but the key issue is, I have to get all of the company's secrets from him. Only then, we would have a basic foundation for negotiation."

"I see. However, my relationship with him is essentially a business relationship too, but I can also act as a mediator to help facilitate this negotiation for you. So, that's all I can do for now."

"Nephew, you mean to say, you can speak up for me, right?"

"Of course, since we are part of a mentor-nephew alliance, and you are my nephew, I'm definitely going to help you. My relationship with him is merely utilitarian, and ours is definitely not like that, so in this matter, I will surely stand by you."

"Then, nephew thanks Uncle deeply."

"Alright, no need for such politeness, I already have a rough idea in my mind now. Go ahead, just make our relationship clear to him, and I believe he should have a rough understanding. If he doesn't agree, just by my own power alone, I'm afraid his fruit market won't stand a chance of existing."

Hearing this, Ye Chen only nodded. This wasn't wild boasting; he also knew that his own abilities alone were already enough, let alone having his uncle's help.

"Unexpectedly, after coming here this time, there is such a great gain, and before, I always thought this would be a very simple matter, but now, it seems not as difficult as I imagined."

If that's really the case, Ye Chen felt that the matters following should be simpler, especially since his uncle was willing to help, all difficulties would probably be easily resolved.

The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder in that direction, chatting about some events that happened to Old De Feng after Ye Chen left the mountains.

"By the way, all these years, have you never seen your master?"

"No, you know my master always keeps his whereabouts secret. When he sent me down the mountain, he told me never to reveal his name. So for many years, I never spoke it, but this time, I don't know why, it slipped out, maybe because I felt like a kin."

"Hehe, unexpected, he's still the same. I once advised him to take a disciple, but he stubbornly refused. It turns out he finally accepted you. It seems you must be a prodigy, otherwise, he wouldn't have esteemed you so highly."

"I was saved by master when I was on the mountain, and if not for the master, I would have probably been eaten by the wild creatures. So to me, my master is like a second father, it's just regrettable that I still do not know the whereabouts of my master."

"It's alright, this old guy has always been this way over the years, and I should be able to guess his approximate location. If you finish your business here, we can go and search for him properly."

"Uncle, what did you say? Are you saying that I can still see my master?"

When Ye Chen heard this, he was truly excited, and he had thought in his lifetime he might never see his master again.

"But it seems like there might be room for easing this matter now."

"Everything depends on human effort, but not now, my power has not yet reached that realm, and there are some things I still can't control, so I need to continue cultivating for a while, probably about a year or so, it should then be possible."
