Chapter 1529: Take Action
“I see. Then, may your dream come true!” Wang Songshan stopped minding the situation since matters were beyond control. What’s the big deal with acting arrogant? This time, I can run you down for once. I feel so ecstatic. If I cannot run you down, I will just accept my fate. So, Wang Songshan went for broke, “But just don’t regret when your dreams come true!”
“My relationship with the Buffon Family is none of your concern.” Thomas was angry after hearing what Wang Songshan said. “Wang Songshan, you listen to me. The five-day deadline started yesterday. Today is the second day. It’s your decision, you do as you see fit!”
“Is that right? Your Lancer family’s quota will soon be reduced. You are still so arrogant. It looks like you are a contented ignorant old man!” Wang Songshan sneered, “I really admire it.”
Thomas ground his teeth in irritation, but his heart was ruthless. Don’t be arrogant here. You will be crying in a few days! He snorted coldly and hung up the phone with no further words.
Wang Songshan heard the busy signal and put the phone back with a bitter smile. Despite Wang Songshan’s tit-for-tat confrontation with Thomas on the phone, he did not feel solid deep down in his heart. He was just pretending to be tough like a spent force to show up Thomas. His face darkened as soon as the phone call ended, “Yang Ming, I called the Lancer Family Master Thomas as you suggested. Now, our Butterfly Family’s relationship with the Lancer family is completely shattered. It is irreparable! You must give me accurate information. This time, can you help us through these difficulties? ”
“Uncle Wang, aren’t your words mistaken?” Yang Ming smiled indifferently. “The relationship between you and the Lancer family has already been torn apart since yesterday, what is the use of talking about it now? There is no room for reconciliation. Even if you didn’t make this call, do you expect the Lancer family to show mercy? ”
Wang Songshan couldn’t help but blush awkwardly when he heard Yang Ming’s words. “This is … Little friend Yang Ming, let’s not talk about this. Let’s discuss our Butterfly Family. How are we going to survive this difficult time?”
“Haven’t you already have survived it?” Yang Ming smiled surprisingly. He immediately understood that Wang Songshan was still not confident in his words. Wang Songshan’s heart would not be at rest until this matter was resolved.
“But now… I haven’t contacted the Buffon Family yet…” Wang Songshan hesitated, “We cannot underestimate the strength of the Lancer family…”
“Alright, I’ll call the Buffon Family and get it done. Otherwise, I don’t think Uncle Wang will let me leave…” Yang Ming nodded with a smile, then said, “Uncle Wang, let me use the phone in your room.”
“Okay, okay!” Wang Songshan smiled quickly, “Go ahead, please use it…”
Don’t talk nonsense. Yang Ming was helping Wang Songshan to handle the matter. Why would Wang Songshan refuse to let him use the phone? Besides, it was not like Yang Ming was borrowing it for his own purposes. He was using it to help sort out matters related to the family!
Yang Ming smiled faintly. He had made a call using the phone in his room previously. Although no one knew that the fee was charged to the Butterfly Family’s account, Yang Ming still naturally asked out of courtesy since he was in Wang Songshan’s room at the moment.
Yang Ming picked up the phone on Wang Songshan’s desk and dialed Old Buffon’s personal number. It didn’t take long for the call to connect. Old Buffon’s respectful voice sounded out, “Hi, may I know who you are?”
Although Wang Songshan’s study phone number was strange and unknown to Old Buffon, Yang Ming had used the phone in the guest room to call Old Buffon before. That phone number was different from this one, but the area code was the same. Hence, Old Buffon guessed that this call was probably from Yang Ming, but he wasn’t quite certain. Hence, he did not dare to greet the other person as Master but still kept his tone very respectful.
“Old Buffon, it’s me, Yang Ming.” Yang Ming said casually. But the name “Old Buffon” shocked Wang Songshan! Everyone in the Buffon Family had the surname Buffon, but how many of them could be referred to as “Old Buffon”?
Wang Songshan knew that some close friends of the Buffon Family addressed the present family master as Old Buffon! However, he thought, The person talking to Yang Ming should not be the Buffon Family Master, right?
Considering Yang Ming’s age, it was possible that he simply addressed the other person as Old Buffon as they were a Buffon Family Member and elder to him. Wang Songshan never thought that this Old Buffon was the Old Buffon.
“Master, it is really your old self!” Old Buffon said quickly, “When I looked at this phone number, it seemed to be yours. Do you have any instructions?”
“The matter regarding the firearms supply to my friend’s family that I spoke to you previously about, there should be no problem with it, right?” Yang Ming asked.
“Of course, there is no problem with it!” Old Buffon said. “I just called and asked the factory. There is plenty of stock available for various models. If you have any special requirements, you can place an order with me.”
“En, that’s good,” Yang Ming nodded and was reassured. “The other matter is, what do you think about cutting off the firearms supply to the Lancer family?”
“Master, as long as you think it’s fine, I will just follow suit. You don’t have to ask me.” Old Buffon thought that Yang Ming was trying to test him, and quickly expressed his determination!
As a matter of fact, there was a quote that said a master’s order should not be violated. It meant that the disciple must do whatever the master said. There was no room to negotiate. So, Old Buffon felt that whatever Yang Ming instructed was justified. There was no need to seek his opinion.
“En, then teach the Lancer family a lesson. The people in this family… are so arrogant that it irritates others.” Yang Ming knew Old Buffon’s nature and did not say anything to thank him. Excessive words would only make Old Buffon feel awkward.
“Rest assured, besides that, I will also teach them some extra lessons.” Old Buffon said immediately. “I want to let them know the consequences of offending my master!”
“Then, that’s it for now, wait for me. Let my friend make an order list for firearms, and you place an order from the factory.” Yang Ming said, “Then, check and look at what is missing, and you think of some ways to resolve it. ”
“Master, where are you?” Old Buffon hesitated and said, “I saw your phone number. It’s from Europe. It shouldn’t be far from me… I don’t know if it’s convenient for me to visit? Of course, the main purpose is to take that order… ”
Old Buffon was afraid that Yang Ming would be unhappy if he visited so he specifically brought up the matter of taking the order. He meant that he was coming for business matters, and not to simply bother Yang Ming!
Old Buffon didn’t know if Yang Ming was free to care about him, but he had finally managed to come to Europe. Old Buffon would feel uneasy if he did not meet Yang Ming. So, he forced himself to ask.
“Oh?” Yang Ming was startled and understood what Old Buffon meant. However, it was rare that he was so enthusiastic. Yang Ming had no other matters to deal with. Having him over would also be a good idea to reassure Wang Songshan. “Alright then, come over. I am at Butterfly Castle in Ello Town with the Butterfly Family. You should be able to find this place.”
“Relax, Master, I’ll make some arrangements and come with junior sister as soon as possible!” Old Buffon’s voice was filled with excitement when Yang Ming agreed.
Junior sister? Who is this? Yang Ming was stunned and was slow to react. Who is this sister that Old Buffon mentioned? Yang Ming was dumbfounded… Wouldn’t it be easier if you just said that you are bringing your wife? What junior sister!
“Well, let’s talk when we meet.” Yang Ming said, “There is no need to annihilate the Lancer Family just to take revenge. That old man Thomas has a grandson named Goode. Don’t let him off so easily.”
After all, Thomas had used the usual tricks and there was nothing wrong with it. Yang Ming was not keen to destroy, but he would not let Goode off so easily. Yang Ming certainly wanted to give this arrogant guy who claimed that he could not get out of Ello Town a deep lesson.
“Goode? Rest assured, Master, leave this matter to me.” Old Buffon smiled wickedly. Isn’t it easy to deal with such a person?
Chapter 1530: Thomas’s Tragedy
After he hung up the phone, Yang Ming laughed and said to Wang Songshan, “Okay, it’s done, now you can rest assured, right?”
“You have settled this issue with a person from the Buffon Family?” Wang Songshan was still a little suspicious although he had listened to Yang Ming’s call in person. After all, this matter was too dramatic. The Butterfly Family was heading towards a dead-end, yet there was a sudden turn of events. Yang Ming had settled everything easily with just one phone call. How could this not cause Wang Songshan’s emotions to fluctuate like a rollercoaster?
“Yes, we have come to an agreement with the Buffon Family. Today, the person from the Buffon Family will come over. Uncle Wang, you need to decide what firearms you need and get a list ready. Then, all will be fine.” Yang Ming said, “So now, can you stop worrying? When a representative from the Lancer Family comes, just talk to them yourself.”
“That’s good, that’s good!” Wang Songshan nodded and said, “That Lancer family matter…”
“Rest assured, the Buffon Family has decided to halt the supply of firearms to the Lancer family. I guess the Lancer family will receive the news shortly? Uncle Wang, if you don’t believe me, you can make a phone call to confirm it!” Yang Ming laughed.
“Really?” Wang Songshan’s original plan meant that it would already be very good as long as he could secure a new firearms supply. He didn’t even think about seeking revenge on the Lancer family. But now, as Yang Ming said, the Buffon Family was ready to eliminate the Lancer Family. His heart was overjoyed with a feeling of exuberance.
There are ups and downs in life. Thomas’s intimidating words from yesterday were still ringing in his ears. The situation had changed in less than twenty-four hours. The Buffon Family was ready to teach the Lancer family a lesson.
“Naturally, with the Buffon Family’s efficiency, I guess the Lancer family has already received the news. Haha! ” Yang Ming understood Old Buffon’s character well. How could Old Buffon be negligent when it came to doing tasks for him?
“I didn’t expect it… I didn’t expect things would turn out like this for Thomas one day!” Wang Songshan became excited when he heard Yang Ming’s words, “Then, I will call him now?”
“Of course you can, as long as you want to.” Yang Ming smiled and pointed at the phone, “This time, agitate him again.”
Wang Songshan could now see Yang Ming’s sincerity and became less suspicious. However, there was a doubt in his heart all along. Why did the Buffon Family want to work with Yang Ming?
Wang Songshan picked up the phone. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and made another call to Thomas, the Lancer Family Master.
Thomas was overwhelmed at this moment! The Buffon Family suddenly called him ten minutes ago and told him that the firearms factory had reduced production this year. The Lancer Family’s share of production was also reduced, so the firearms supply to the Lancer family was aborted too.
The call had not been answered by Thomas, but by a disciple of the Lancer family. The other party had hung up the phone before he could speak, and the disciple was immediately baffled.
However, he did not dare to be negligent and hurried to report it to the family master. He reported the content of the call he had received to Thomas.
Thomas was feeling satisfied, sneering in his heart that Wang Songshan didn’t know how to appreciate a favor and the time would come when Wang Songshan would regret it. All of a sudden, he saw a disciple rushing in, “Family master, Family Master… there is something urgent…”
“What’s the matter? Why are you in a hurry?” Thomas frowned immediately. He was intoxicated with his ego and had been suddenly disturbed by the disciple. At that moment, he was angry, “What matter is making you panic like this?”
“Family master, I just answered a phone call…” The disciple of the Lancer family said carefully after receiving the scolding.
“Phone call? What call? What’s the big deal about answering a call? Who made the call?” Thomas asked casually.
“The other person said that he is from the Buffon Family.” The disciple of the Lancer family said, “They said the firearms factory will reduce this year’s production and that the Lancer Family’s share of production is also reduced, so the firearms supply to our Lancer family has been canceled… I didn’t know what was happening. The other party hung up before I could ask. ”
“What? The call came from the Buffon Family?” Thomas froze for a moment, “Reduce production? The share of production has decreased? The firearms supply to our family has been canceled? How is this possible?”
“I don’t know, that’s what the other person said. They didn’t wait for me to ask and just hung up… I hurried over to report this matter to you, didn’t I?” The disciple of the Lancer family said carefully.
“This matter seems a little impossible?” Thomas was not stupid. After a brief shock, he dwelled into deep thought, ” The Buffon Family wouldn’t inform us of such an important matter with simply a call? After all, our family has worked with the Buffon Family for so long. Even if there is such an important matter, it should be discussed with me in person! ”
Thomas started to talk to himself, but the disciple did not dare to interrupt. He stood by quietly, waiting for Thomas’s instruction.
As of this moment, Thomas began to doubt the authenticity of this call! It was not that he suspected the disciple of lying, but he was doubtful if the call was really from the Buffon Family.
The reason is very simple. Even though the Buffon Family is a big family, my own Lancer family is no weakling either? Furthermore, with our many years of friendship, how can our partnership be dissolved by a phone call?
At the very least, the current Buffon Family Master, Old Buffon should be making the call to inform me? The previous Buffon Family Master was the one who decided that I am their partner. How can it be changed without a good reason?
Moreover, even if the share is reduced, there is no reason to completely cut off the firearms supply to my family. A reduction is fine, but why is there no supply at all? How can such an important matter be concluded by a phone call?
However, what Thomas did not know was that the Buffon Family had given up on him. They simply did not take him seriously anymore. It was already nice for them to call and inform. Despite this, Thomas still expected Old Buffon to discuss the matter personally. What a daydream!
Of course, Thomas was not aware of these matters. He was feeling good about himself!
So, Thomas was skeptical at this moment. He suspected that the call was not from the Buffon Family, but that someone had made a deliberate call to pick a quarrel cause false alarm!
So, who is this person? They are very likely to be from the Butterfly Family! Thomas sneered when he thought about Wong Songshan’s earlier phone call. Did he resort to this kind of trick since he can not fight and is frustrated?
Come to think of it, it must be Wang Songshan without a doubt. Wang Songshan is feeling aggrieved in his heart. He is trying to threaten me with such a call and make me scared! But, am I so easily fooled?
Thomas sneered, “You can leave now, there is nothing for you to do.”
“Yes!” the disciple had stood for a long time. It was worrying to watch the family master’s facial expression became gloomy, but he did not dare to say anything. When the family master told him to leave all of a sudden, it felt like he had received a big reprieve. He immediately nodded, answered “yes” and retreated respectfully.
Thomas was skeptical, but he was still not sure. There was an eighty percent chance that this incident was the work of Wang Songshan, but he could never be sure. It would always be a thorn in his heart, and it made Thomas uncomfortable.
Thomas hesitated, but still picked up the phone in front of him, and called Old Buffon’s personal phone.
Someone answered the phone after it rang twice. The cold voice of Old Buffon came through, “Thomas? What’s the matter?”
” Family Master Buffon, it’s me, Thomas. Can’t I call you if I don’t have any matter?” Thomas said enthusiastically. Although he did not know why Old Buffon’s voice was so cold, he never thought that the previous call was indeed from the Buffon Family.
“Nothing? Then I’ll hang up. I still have matters to attend to.” Old Buffon said coldly, not giving Thomas any face.
“Wait a minute …” Thomas did not understand. Why is Old Buffon so angry today?
“Is there anything else?” Old Buffon’s voice was slightly impatient.
“Well, Buffon Family Master, this year’s firearms supply…” However, Thomas was interrupted by Old Buffon before he finished.
“Did you not receive a call just now? You have been disqualified from the dealership.”
