Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 679: A Windfall from the Sky

Xiang Yu had already grasped the other party’s intent upon hearing this: Dong Ze was worried that Xiang Yu would target their brothers and their hard-earned foundation.

Now, Dong Ze and his group resembled Shi Jian from City One. They had their own companies and enterprises, which is why they had gradually stepped away from the underworld affairs. However, after Gao Leiming and his group unified the entire underworld, they refused to let Shi Jian go, which eventually led to the incident where Xiang Yu eliminated him with his men.

And that was the situation Dong Ze found himself in. By now, Xiang Yu had become the city’s Underground Evil Emperor, while Dong Ze and his group were hidden forces lurking in the shadows. They were just well concealed, and Xiang Yu’s group hadn’t discovered them yet.

"What do you mean, asking us to leave this city?" Xiang Yu said with a smile.

Dong Ze quickly shook his head and said, "Don’t misunderstand, I’m not asking you to leave." After finishing, he looked around the room at the few people present and continued, "Since there are no outsiders here, I’ll just say it outright. I want to acknowledge you as my godson."

As soon as Dong Ze spoke, everyone at the scene froze, including Mu Bai standing behind him, who could hardly believe his ears. He had been with Dong Ze the longest and had, in essence, come to view him as a father.

Now that Dong Ze was acknowledging someone else as his godson, it upset him greatly.

"If you become my child, then all of my businesses will be yours," Dong Ze said with a smile.

Indeed, this was what Dong Ze was thinking. He was getting older, and his assets, including his power, needed a successor. Although Mu Bai had been with him for many years, Dong Ze was quite aware that Mu Bai, though talented, was still somewhat lacking in managing the brothers.

He worried that after his departure, his subordinates would not heed Mu Bai’s calls. At that time, Xiang Yu entered his sight. He had someone investigate Xiang Yu’s background and eventually realized that this young man, though somewhat rash, was definitely talented.

Later on, as the Yu Tian Group suddenly rose to prominence, he discovered that the Helmsman of Yu Tian Group was also a notable figure. He hoped that the Helmsman of the Yu Tian Group was Xiang Yu, and today it was confirmed.

Dong Ze was somewhat excited, having finally found someone who could succeed him. He felt most reassured handing over his enterprises to Xiang Yu.

Now it was a matter of whether Xiang Yu could calmly accept it.

"Boss, I think this is a bit hasty," Mu Bai, feeling uncomfortable, finally spoke up.

Dong Ze looked at Mu Bai and smiled. Having lived sixty-five years, he was quite astute. He knew exactly what Mu Bai was thinking from his actions.

"I have pondered this matter for a long time; you don’t need to say more," Dong Ze said.

At that moment, Tie Zhuzi whispered into Xiang Yu’s ear, "Bro Yu, I think this is worthwhile. Acknowledging him as a godfather, his properties will all be ours. Later, how we deal with that old man is up to us."

Though Tie Zhuzi spoke softly, several people heard him.

Dong Ze’s face fell. Since he had investigated Xiang Yu, he naturally had thoroughly investigated those close to Xiang Yu as well. He knew Tie Zhuzi’s character, and Tie Zhuzi’s blatant words confirmed their investigations were correct.

At that moment, Mu Bai became anxious, as this was a blatant provocation against them.

"Watch your words, you big oaf," Mu Bai pointed at Tie Zhuzi and said.

Feeling very pleased, Tie Zhuzi ignored Mu Bai and continued whispering into Xiang Yu’s ear.

Xiang Yu gestured for Tie Zhuzi to stand properly and then looked at Dong Ze and said with a smile, "I’m sorry, I can’t accept. I have a biological father, and he is still alive."

The matter was straightforward—Dong Ze wanted to acknowledge Xiang Yu as his son. Xiang Yu, however, was very unwelcoming of the idea. Despite his respect for the elderly man before him, the idea of acknowledging another father was something he would never agree to.

Dong Ze and Mu Bai both froze, as this was unexpected. They believed that in the face of such favorable terms, Xiang Yu would gladly acknowledge his paternity.

Sitting there somewhat awkwardly, Dong Ze smiled and then took a sip from his water glass.

"Mr. Dong, I understand your intentions. You are worried about your brothers and your business. I may not understand business matters, but I can assure you here that as long as they don’t cause trouble, I won’t touch them. However, you must understand one thing—two tigers cannot share one mountain. If they harbor any thoughts, I will not show mercy," Xiang Yu stated bluntly.

Dong Ze hadn’t expected Xiang Yu to refuse, which left him at a loss for a moment.

Everyone remained silent there, and after a few minutes, Dong Ze finally sighed. Then, with a bitter smile, he said, "Well, if you won’t acknowledge it, so be it. But I still intend to entrust you with managing everything I own."

"What?" Both Mu Bai and Tie Zhuzi gaped in disbelief.

Tie Zhuzi felt as if pies were falling from the sky, hitting him so suddenly that he was somewhat dazed.

Xiang Yu was also moved by Dong Ze’s grand gesture. Such a feat was not something ordinary people could accomplish. Dong Ze was aware that Xiang Yu’s rise was no fluke. Having a group of followers, friction would inevitably arise over time.

Once Xiang Yu learned of their existence, he would surely eliminate them to avoid any future problems.

"Why choose me?" Xiang Yu asked calmly as he looked at Dong Ze.

"Because I admire you," Dong Ze said with a mysterious smile.

The two exchanged smiles, saying no more. Both were intelligent, and some things didn’t need to be explicitly stated, while Tie Zhuzi and Mu Bai were somewhat confused.

"I have one condition," Xiang Yu said to Dong Ze.

"Speak."

"Once you hand these over to me, they will belong to me entirely and will no longer have anything to do with you. You cannot partake in the management," Xiang Yu declared.

At this moment, both Tie Zhuzi and Mu Bai felt dizzy. In their eyes, Dong Ze was giving Xiang Yu a golden opportunity, yet Xiang Yu seemed displeased and even made conditions, which they found hard to accept.

Of course, Tie Zhuzi was so happy he was at a loss. Mu Bai, on the other hand, was so agitated he almost fainted. He couldn’t fathom what Dong Ze was thinking. Even less could he understand why Xiang Yu was acting so shamelessly.

What baffled them even more was that Dong Ze didn’t get angry but instead nodded with a smile, saying, "Of course. Since I intend to entrust everything to you, naturally, all management rights are yours too. I’m old now, and this society belongs to the younger generation. Once this is done, I plan to live abroad and leave here."

"Our general manager is still detained by you guys," Xiang Yu said with a smile.

Dong Ze responded with a content smile, "They were released when we came up here."

At that moment, Dong Ze seemed greatly relieved, wearing a relaxed smile on his face.

At his age, power, status, and money were no longer of much use to him. All he wanted was to find a peaceful place to enjoy his later years.

Now, his only worry was that Mu Bai would feel resentful and stir up some unpleasantness...
