Chapter 844: He’s Flown Too High

Not bad.

The two people who came in, one of them was Scarface, who had fled China.

Xu Shaochen never expected to run into him under these circumstances.

“Hey, Young Master Xu! Long time no see. You seem to be doing well. But I can’t say the same for myself, thanks to you.”

Scarface flashed a bright smile and dragged a chair to sit down.

“This must be Young Master Xu, right? It looks like you know my brother.”

The other man, a middle-aged man in a black suit, spoke casually as he also sat down next to Scarface.

Xu Shaochen noticed a resemblance between the two. No wonder Scarface had heavy firepower aiding his escape in China—it turns out he had a brother who was a major smuggler in Mg Country.

A yellow-skinned man reaching such heights? That’s impressive.

“Of course, I know him—I’m quite familiar, actually.”

Xu Shaochen smiled calmly, regaining his composure as he sat down again. “We can put aside these trivial matters for now. Let’s talk about business instead.”

“Hello, I’m Chen Dongqiu…”

Chen Dongqiu stood up and introduced himself to Scarface’s brother.

Before he finished, he was interrupted: “I don’t care what your name is. I just want to know what gives you the right to claim this shipment.”

“Is my right enough?” Xu Shaochen asked.

At first, he was worried because the other party had deep local roots, but now that he saw they were from China, his concerns were gone.

Even the Xu Corporation has been targeted by major families in Mg Country, let alone a smuggling group.

A smuggling group led by a Chinese man couldn’t have deep foundations here. The real bigwigs wouldn’t get involved.

“Young Master Xu, your face is definitely worth something, but you can’t stop others from making money, right? Everyone’s got to eat.”

The middle-aged man smiled as he looked at Xu Shaochen and patted Scarface: “Plus, my brother seems to have a grudge with you. That makes your face worth even less here.”

“You’re pretty arrogant.” Xu Shaochen was astonished. How could a man involved in gray-market smuggling dare speak to him like this? Frankly, if Xu Shaochen hadn’t come in person today, someone like this wouldn’t even be sitting at the same table as him.

Their identities made it impossible for them to ever be in the same room.

But this man’s arrogance surprised Xu Shaochen.

The middle-aged man shrugged nonchalantly, smiling: “Sorry, it’s a habit. This is how I’ve been living all these years. Now, I just want to know how you plan to resolve the issue with my brother.”

Scarface looked at Xu Shaochen with a smirk, propping his feet up on the table, right in Xu Shaochen’s face.

“Wait. I’ll show you how I resolve it.”

Xu Shaochen replied coldly, then looked at Chen Dongqiu: “Let’s go.”

Given the other party’s attitude, there was no point in continuing the conversation. It was just a waste of time.

He felt compelled to show the other person the vast gap between them. A mere street rat dared to threaten him?

No wonder he dared to draw a gun and kill someone in Jingcheng, robbing a prisoner—his arrogance had blinded him to reality.

Has his recent string of successes made everything too easy for him?

If that’s the case, let me give him a little setback. Consider it a lesson.

After this ordeal, even if he survives, he’ll be severely weakened. If not, he’ll be dead and buried.

“Please, Young Master Xu, do as you wish.”

The middle-aged man didn’t stop them from leaving. He kept a dismissive smile on his face.

“Brother, that Xu kid is the heir to the Xu Corporation. Won’t this cause us trouble?”

After Xu Shaochen left, Scarface finally looked a bit worried. The thing is, Xu had really scared him back in Jingcheng.

His arrogance was something he learned from his older brother, just like how he had the gall to extort Chen Ju in Jingcheng without any real power.

“Of course, there’ll be trouble, but nothing serious. We’ve paid off the police in all of New York. Even the street guys have to answer to me. I’ve even bribed the politicians. What’s some Xu heir going to do to me?”

“Besides, I heard the Xu Corporation isn’t doing so well in Mg Country. They’ve got some big players eyeing them, and the authorities are pressuring them as well. What can he do to me right now? He wouldn’t dare cause too much commotion.”

“So, this is the perfect time to strike while the iron’s hot. Miss this chance, and there won’t be another.”

The middle-aged man chuckled as he popped a cigar in his mouth, completely disdainful. He looked as if he had everything under control.

This is how he had lived all these years. He had money, people, and zero fear.

But arrogance requires a foundation.

When your arrogance exceeds your resources, that’s when you’re done for.

He might have sway in both legal and illegal circles, but can he really compare to the Xu Corporation?

“Young Master Xu, I’m sorry. I didn’t think that guy would be even more arrogant than I expected.”

Chen Dongqiu was equally shocked. He always knew one thing—no matter how tough they were, these people only survived in the gray areas.

If someone really wanted to take them down, it would be all too easy. They had no shortage of weaknesses to exploit.

So, he always stayed low-key and avoided offending people he couldn’t afford to cross.

Just like when he found out Xu Shaochen’s identity, he immediately backed down and begged for mercy. Otherwise, he would have been uprooted.

But the behavior of Scarface and his brother had opened his eyes. For a moment, it felt like he wasn’t sitting across from a smuggler but rather the mayor of New York City.

Could it be that I’m not doing as well as I thought? Chen Dongqiu was deeply self-reflective.

“He’s flown too high, lost touch with reality. If that’s the case, I’ll make sure he understands what reality is.”

Xu Shaochen spoke calmly as he pulled out his phone and made a call to Mike. Why waste available manpower?

Right now, the Mg government is being unfriendly toward the Xu Corporation. Otherwise, Xu Shaochen would have already shown the two brothers what the true iron fist of capitalism is like.

So, he could only have Mike handle it.

If he made a move himself, stepping within legal boundaries would be impossible, and doing so in the dark would bring consequences.
