Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1174: Chapter 1173: Butterfly Effect

Throughout history, literature claims no first, and martial arts no second. What does this mean? Isn’t it just about "fame"?

Fame and fortune, fame and fortune. How many people are indifferent to money, but are fervently enthusiastic about reputation.

Just think about it, the unprecedented illustrious title of double champion, what a great honor it is.

The underground organization hosting the tournament has released a rumor—winning the championship in the underground tournament will earn respect throughout Bordeaux’s entire underground world, just as winning the combat tournament earns acknowledgment from the estate!

It seems as though the estate of Bordeaux has announced, in coordination with the underground world’s event, that due to the temporary relocation of the combat venue, the human-side combat tournament will be postponed for a week.

Moreover, the human side surprisingly issued no objection to the fact shaking the whole planet of Bordeaux, as if they tacitly consented to the holding of the underground boxing match.

Now, martial artists who originally weren’t very interested in the combat tournament, as well as some true masters, are flocking from all corners to the planet of Bordeaux.

All hotels in Bordeaux are filled with outsiders, many of whom are martial artists, while others have come under the guise of tourism, wanting to witness both events—everyone is anticipating who will be the final winner, who will become the double champion.

In no time, Bordeaux is overcrowded and lamenting, with lodging fees repeatedly rising in price, yet it’s still "hard to find a bed."

Thus, all over the squares and larger streets of Bordeaux, there are tents pitched by visitors.

The planet of Bordeaux has never seen such excitement before, reporters even announced on TV and the internet that this kind of massive crowd was last seen over a hundred years ago, at the centennial celebration of the estate’s establishment.

Behind any unusual event, there’s always a subtle hand changing everything behind the scenes.

That Bordeaux could swell like this indeed took some people by surprise.

No need to say the few senior figures at the sports center, they never imagined that the result of their begrudging consent would be this kind of sensational effect.

The director and two deputy directors of the sports center have already been notified that they will be promoted after the combat tournament concludes.

Yet all of this, even the Governor himself didn’t anticipate; he originally only had his private reasons, and discussed with several senior figures at the sports center, but it resulted in such an impact.

That day, as per his lover’s wish, Lord Governor came to the sports center to consult several senior figures about relocating the combat tournament to a satellite under his jurisdiction.

The Governor knew his request wasn’t convincing and was somewhat abrupt.

To ensure the matter was successful, he even personally visited several old friends of his father on the planet of Bordeaux, asking them to exert their influence to help him.

When his father’s old friends curiously asked him why he wanted to move the combat tournament to that satellite of his, after all, the tournament had always been held on Bordeaux for so many years.

And in their view, the Governor had almost no relation with the combat tournament.

Fortunately, the Governor was not a muddle-headed local official, he had thought of an excuse on the way there.

So when his father’s old friends asked him why he wanted to do this, he sighed and said, "You don’t know, the tax situation on the satellite I’m in charge of has been very bleak for the past two years, this is something that cannot be changed in a short time, after all, it’s just a small satellite."

The old man listening nodded, though he no longer held a high position at the estate, he knew the situation of that satellite, indeed, it was as the Governor described.

"So, in order to increase local tax revenue a bit, and make local civilians’ lives somewhat better, I want to rely on the combat tournament to bring an opportunity to the local tourism industry. After all, many people participate in the combat tournament, plus some peripheral personnel, this would bring considerable income to that small satellite of mine."

Lord Governor spoke eloquently in front of the person he was asking for.

Originally, he only used the development of local tourism as an excuse, but the more he spoke, the more he felt it was a good idea, so he became more and more fluent.

His father’s old friend believed his words and felt gratified that his old friend had a son who could bring about the welfare of the people.

This son of his old friend, indeed, was not as rumored to be someone who didn’t care about official matters.

Listening to what he said, his request was entirely in the local people’s best interest.

"Good! This is a good thing!" His father’s old friend stood up, happily saying to the Governor, "I will unconditionally support you!"

To reassure the Governor completely, he even made a promise to him: "I’ll go find those old guys right away, haha, although we are old and retired, we old fellows still have some connections in various departments of the estate."

Hearing the old man’s words, the Governor was completely relieved.

He knew that as the old men said, although they were no longer in their positions, they had more or less influence over various departments in the estate. Sometimes, even the heads of departments had to consider their opinions carefully.

After receiving this old man’s verbal promise, Lord Governor was satisfied and took his leave from those planning to participate in the combat tournament, who were waiting calmly for it to begin.

But suddenly, a stone stirred up a thousand waves!

All forces in Bordeaux’s underground world joined hands to host the underground tournament!

This event, comparable to the estate’s combat tournament in grandeur, not only offers a considerable amount of money, but the ultimate winner can earn the supreme title of the "Double Champion!"

This news drove the martial artists who heard it into a frenzy.

All at once, Bordeaux was overcrowded with people related to this.

And all of this was just an unintentional move by one person.

Butterfly Effect!

The initiator of this affair was none other than Lord Governor.

He personally visited, asking his father’s old friends to help him relocate the combat tournament to the satellite under his control.

After a discussion, his father’s old friends agreed to his request, stating in front of him that they would use all their connections to help him fulfill his wish.

Lord Governor knew the character of these old men; they wouldn’t do anything they were unsure of.

Since the old friend in front of him agreed, it meant he was already fully confident about the matter.

Lord Governor, satisfied, took his leave.

He felt fortunate in his heart; he was still considered a filial child, at least he did not dare forget his father’s teachings easily.

For so many years, regardless of the occasion, he would come with a large number of local specialties from Bordeaux, personally visiting his father’s old friends, even though they were retired, he still respected them as if they held high positions.
