Free Web NovelChapter 1013: Chapter 394: Pike’s Decision
"So boss, what have you decided to do?"
Among the people present, aside from Pike, the manager had the highest rank, so it was most appropriate for him to ask such a question.
"What do you all think?"
Pike was not in a hurry to answer the manager’s question; instead, he asked about what he cared about, his gaze sweeping over the faces of those present. What relieved Pike was that none of these people showed any sign of fear or retreat.
"We don’t have any other thoughts. As long as you make a decision, boss, we’ll definitely follow you firmly!"
The manager’s words sounded like a formality, but Pike knew in his heart that these were words spoken from the manager’s heart.
Pike was able to establish a foothold in this area and still earn considerable profits even under the suppression of the three major forces, mainly because of this underground boxing arena.
This place could be said to be Pike’s most important source of funds, so only those whom Pike truly trusted could be placed here, and they were also Pike’s strongest combat forces.
"Since you all feel this way, I won’t let you down. As long as our plan succeeds this time, I promise that in the future, you will receive returns several times, even dozens of times over!"
Hearing Pike’s words, the people present displayed expressions of extreme excitement. Unlike other bosses, Pike didn’t like to draw big dreams for his subordinates, and he usually fulfilled what he promised them.
"Boss, as long as you’ve decided, just give the order. We will definitely complete the task well!"
The speaker was a man with dark skin but a burly figure, nicknamed Black Iron Tower. He was also one of Pike’s strong combat forces; otherwise, Pike wouldn’t have placed him in the underground boxing arena.
"I think Minister Zhang has already agreed to our proposed cooperation, but he needs us to prove ourselves!"
As he spoke, Pike’s gaze again swept over the faces of those present.
"We swear to follow the boss to the end!"
Hearing what his subordinates said, Pike displayed an expression of excitement.
The unwavering support of these brothers was a crucial reason why Pike could carry on.
Meanwhile, what was happening inside didn’t escape Zhang Beixing’s notice. In fact, if Zhang Beixing wished, he could find out about everyone’s movements anytime, anywhere.
"But Minister, are you really planning to cooperate with them?"
In the house where Zhang Beixing lived, Su Yan furrowed her brows slightly, appearing to have other thoughts about Zhang Beixing’s decision.
Su Yan focused her thoughts on Zhang Beixing’s actions, while the other girls directed their attention to Zhang Beixing’s room.
Compared to Zhang Beixing’s room, their living quarters were not even comparable to a scrap collector’s place. Although dissatisfied, they didn’t dare to voice out, as Zhang Beixing had long set the standard firmly.
If you have the strength, you can freely change rooms. If you don’t, don’t complain. Everyone understood that Zhang Beixing disliked people who achieved little but had many complaints.
Hearing Su Yan’s words, Leng Bing revealed a peculiar expression.
The members of the second team hadn’t been in contact with Zhang Beixing for long and naturally didn’t understand his thoughts.
However, Leng Bing knew well that Zhang Beixing disliked having his decisions questioned. He appreciated Su Yan’s changes and didn’t want her initial good impression with Zhang Beixing to vanish quickly.
Thinking of this, Leng Bing gave Su Yan a meaningful glance, which she understood.
"Do you think there’s something wrong?"
Zhang Beixing glanced at Su Yan beside him, giving her an encouraging look.
Actually, Zhang Beixing didn’t dislike his decisions being questioned but rather disliked meaningless questions being raised.
Su Yan was somewhat different in Zhang Beixing’s eyes because she had progressed from a shy girl to someone who dared to express her thoughts to him.
Seeing Zhang Beixing’s encouraging look, Su Yan swallowed and her gaze became firm.
"There’s an old saying that those not of our kin must have differing minds. I think we can’t trust these outsiders. Even if we want to firmly control this area, we should conquer it and let our own people manage it!"
After Su Yan spoke, the other team members looked at her with unusual eyes, as if saying, "You’ve got a lot of guts, girl, speaking to the Minister like that."
"You’re not wrong; they indeed are not to be trusted, but this is under special circumstances."
Zhang Beixing chuckled slightly, showing no sign of displeasure, which eased Leng Bing’s tense heart a little.
Subsequently, Zhang Beixing’s gaze swept over the others, suddenly letting out a chuckle.
"You probably feel the same as Su Yan, thinking my decision is somewhat hasty, right?"
