Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1394 - 1379: Cake

Song Yun went to the same old place.

The building located in the most bustling area of SH city’s center.

At this moment, in the lobby of the building.

A young man was standing under a giant LCD TV on one side of the lobby, watching some financial news on the TV.

After watching for a while, the young man would glance towards the entrance.

Just then, another young man appeared at the entrance.

The one watching the TV showed a joyful expression and walked straight towards the young man who just arrived.

"Brother Song Yun!"

The man smiled, slightly bent at the waist to greet him.

"Hmm!"

Song Yun glanced at the man and said, "Prince, haven’t seen you for a few days, you look much more spirited than before."

The man, Prince, smiled and said, "I’ve been reading those books you recommended, Brother Song Yun. I haven’t been to nightclubs nor drinking with people. My schedule has been regular, so naturally, I feel better."

"Finished reading them all?"

Song Yun asked.

"Almost finished, but there’s a lot I don’t understand."

Prince answered honestly.

"There are many things I don’t understand either, but I don’t have the time to figure them out. You, for those you don’t understand, go find someone to ask until you understand them entirely. Since your father entrusted you to me for grooming, even though you’ve offended me before, I won’t just act superficially. What I can do is provide a platform for you. It’s up to you what you make of it. If you can’t demonstrate your abilities, then I won’t waste this opportunity on you. Do you understand what I mean?"

Song Yun asked.

"Understood. If I fail, I won’t have the audacity to keep following you!"

Prince said with a smile.

"That’s good!"

Song Yun nodded and walked towards the nearby elevator.

The elevator lady happened to be the same one from the last time Song Yun visited.

"38th floor."

Song Yun said with a smile.

The elevator lady didn’t ask if Song Yun had an appointment. A man who could have Zhu Yeqing personally come out to greet him, whether he has an appointment is basically irrelevant.

The elevator lady took another look at Prince, who was slightly bowing beside Song Yun, and asked, "Sir, how about you?"

"He’s with me!"

Song Yun replied with a smile.

"Oh!!"

The elevator lady nodded. She didn’t expect that the man who left here last time disheartened was actually with this influential man who had Zhu Yeqing personally receive him. She wondered if offending him last time would...

While the elevator lady was lost in thought, the 38th floor arrived.

Song Yun walked out of the elevator with a smile, Prince followed behind him.

As they passed the elevator lady, Song Yun smiled and nodded at her, while Prince kept his head lowered.

The elevator lady’s heart suddenly raced.

Song Yun wasn’t handsome, but Song Yun was wealthy and powerful.

Such qualities made Song Yun particularly charming in the eyes of women.

Money and power are the best aphrodisiacs.

This time, Zhu Yeqing didn’t personally come to greet Song Yun like last time. Instead, a young woman did.

Song Yun seemed to have seen this woman last time in Sunan, then thinking she had an air of mystery, but now she appeared to be just a woman with a slight presence.

Song Yun was no longer the little rascal he used to be.

The woman respectfully led the way, guiding Song Yun to Brother White Tiger’s office. Then, she gently knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Brother White Tiger’s voice came through.

The woman opened the door, gesturing for Song Yun to enter.

Song Yun smiled and nodded, then stepped inside.

Inside the office.

Brother White Tiger was busy writing something. Upon seeing Song Yun enter, Brother White Tiger smiled and said, "Just have a seat."

Song Yun nodded and said nothing, but directly sat on the sofa.

And he sat for five minutes.

During those five minutes, Song Yun maintained a calm expression, showing no signs of agitation, while Prince remained composed, quietly standing behind Song Yun.

After five minutes.

Brother White Tiger put down his pen, looked at Song Yun, and said, "Song Yun, this time your Shura Alliance didn’t act ethically."

"Oh?"

Song Yun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where were we unethical?"

"The Axe Sect, they are SH’s second-largest organization, and you quietly swallowed them up. What position does that leave us in the Green Sect? Are you intending for your Shura Alliance to develop here in SH?" Brother White Tiger asked.

"Look at the way you’re talking."

Song Yun laughed and said, "Brother White Tiger, I had no choice!"

"Oh? No choice? This day and age, is there anyone who can force you?" Brother White Tiger asked with a knowing smile.

"Frankly speaking, Brother White Tiger, if there was a big cake placed before you, would you choose to eat or not?" Song Yun asked.

"Eat!"

Brother White Tiger nodded and said, "But you should be cautious that the cake might be poisonous, right?"

"Exactly."

Song Yun said, "However, Brother White Tiger, when you’re unsure if the cake is poisonous, but it’s about to disappear, would you choose to eat it or not?"

"Eat!"

Brother White Tiger nodded again.

"That’s right, I don’t care if it’s poisonous, since the cake is right in front of me and about to disappear, if I don’t eat it, I’d be letting my taste buds down."

Song Yun said with a smile.

"What if you were poisoned?"

"Poisoned? That’d be uncomfortable. Haven’t I come to you for an antidote?" Song Yun said, "The cake is too big a portion, and if I ate it alone, I’d either die of poison or explode from overeating. Since Brother White Tiger, you once took such good care of me, I thought, we should eat together, right? Sharing would dilute the poison, so there’s no need to worry, isn’t it?"

"Oh? Your main purpose today is to persuade me to eat that piece together with you?" Brother White Tiger asked.

"Precisely!" Song Yun nodded, ready to continue speaking, but Brother White Tiger suddenly slammed his hand on the table.

It shook the table violently, nearly tipping over the cup on it.

"Song Yun, did you underestimate my intelligence?" Brother White Tiger asked squinting.

"Brother White Tiger, what do you mean by that?" Song Yun wasn’t rattled by Brother White Tiger’s sudden action, instead asked with a smile.

"This piece of cake is something I could eat by myself, now you have gobbled it up, choked on it, and spat out some to me, brazenly claiming to want to share. Are you treating me, Brother White Tiger, as someone easy to bully?" Brother White Tiger asked assertively.

"Well, Brother White Tiger, all those who thought you were easy to bully have met King Yama. I wouldn’t dare!"

Song Yun replied still smiling.
