As Pankaj and his father enjoyed their meal on the street, the Zhong family was a bundle of nerves, fidgeting like ants on a hot pot.


    Tonight, Huzaifa, Pankaj’s father, was set to take him to a banquet hosted by Zyaire, the leader of Hongmen.


    However, Pankaj had been out for the afternoon and hadn’t returned, and with his phone unreachable, Huzaifa’s anxiety grew.


    Over the past few years, as Huzaifa’s business flourished, he had increasingly wished to distance himself from Hongmen. Yet, Zyaire is a person too, and Huzaifa didn’t want to treat him like a mere tool—something to use and discard at will. He understood that Zyaire could feel insulted if he were viewed as nothing more than a disposable resource.


    Huzaifa recognized that Zyaire now saw him as a source of ie, just as he once relied on Zyaire for support. This realization left Huzaifa feeling trapped, as Zyaire seemed unwilling to let go of their rtionship.<fn6571> Updates are released by Find[?]ovel</fn6571><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Consequently, Huzaifa feltpelled to find a way to keep Zyaire satisfied.


    Recently, Zyaire had made a considerable profit in the smuggling of frozen meat, but since his operationcked scale, he sought Huzaifa’s assistance to establish a shippingpany that could facilitate the import of goods from overseas to Hong Kong Ind.


    Moreover, Zyaire wanted Huzaifa to invest in a fleet of powerful speedboats, which would enable him to smuggle frozen meat directly to the maind.


    To ensure that Huzaifa wouldn’t refuse his requests, Zyaire nned to adopt a humble demeanor during the banquet, inviting both his godson and grandson to the gathering. He intended to make his demands known at the dinner table, knowing that Huzaifa would find it difficult to decline.


    However, after waiting at home for a long time, Zyaire grew increasingly irritated upon finally spotting Huzaifa’s arrival.


    He picked up the phone and eximed, “You’ve be quite the jerk! Even I can’t tolerate this! I’ve been waiting for you at home for ages, and now you show up? What’s your game? If you look down on your godfather, just say it! I, Zyaire, will not let you embarrass me! If that’s how you feel, all the help I gave you before was for nothing, and we’ll sever ties from here on out!”


    Unaware of Zyaire’s maniptive nature, Huzaifa was caught off guard.


    Zyaire was clever and adept at ying mind games.


    His outburst was a strategic retreat, designed to position himself as the moral authority while subtly disying weakness. He anticipated that Huzaifa might refuse to help and was already preparing to y the victim.


    From that point on, Huzaifa found himself in a position where he had no choice but to apologize.
