Chapter 1519: Old Buffon’s Attitude
“I have a friend from an assassin family. The firearms merchant who worked with them stopped the cooperation suddenly, so they are having problems with their supply of firearms.” Yang Ming did not cover up the truth as there was no need to beat around the bush with Old Buffon. Yang Ming had a good judge of character; he would not empty his pockets to help Old Buffon or accept his wife as an apprentice if Old Buffon was a treacherous and cunning type of person.
Yang Ming learned about Old Buffon’s temperament during the last probe in Country X. He then began to really teach Old Buffon because he was worthy “Old Buffon, you know that firearms are the lifeblood of assassin families. The assassin family will most likely fall to second-class or third-class once they lose the supply of these special weapons.”
“It turns out to be this matter!” Old Buffon nodded after hearing. “Master, it’s not a problem for the Buffon Family to supply them with firearms but you also know that the Buffon Family isn’t the only firearm factory. I can guarantee that you can have as many firearms produced by our family as possible. As for the other firearms factories, I can only try my best and I dare not guarantee on the number.”
Yang Ming naturally understood Old Buffon’s words. Old Buffon definitely had control over his factory and had plenty of firearms inside. Old Buffon could not take charge of other’s factories, but Yang Ming was already grateful enough. The Buffon family’s firearms factory definitely had some fixed customers before this and there were not a lot of remaining flexible quotas every year. However, Old Buffon promised that he would get as much as possible merely after hearing Yang Ming’s words. He obviously took Yang Ming’s affairs as the most important thing for the family to handle. Yang Ming had a better impression of Old Buffon.
“It’s good enough to be able to do this.” Yang Ming said. “Your family can be considered as the world’s top firearms manufacturing company. We don’t need all the special firearms. It’s good enough as long as you produce the items of the same quality and keep up with the numbers.”
“That’s easy!” Old Buffon said. “Tanks, fighters, and rocket launchers are limited by the factory size. The amount produced every year is not a lot, but we can give them all to you as a priority. The others have no limit in numbers. You may have as many as possible with overtime work.”
“Tank… fighter…” Yang Ming felt speechless and he could not help but smile bitterly, “Old Buffon, it’s not so exaggerated. They are just an assassin family, not a terrorist organization. These things are completely useless… ”
“I see…” Old Buffon did not expect that he had over flattered. He could not help but smile awkwardly, “Master, it’s okay, just give me a list of what you need. It’s fine even if it’s from other’s factories. I can exchange it with our products as long as it is not heavy weapons such as tanks.”
Yang Ming was helpless when he heard Old Buffon’s words. So this old guy thought that I wanted all the heavy arms. Now it seems that light firearms were an easy matter for Old Buffon.
“En, I now feel more confident with your words.” Yang Ming thanked him. “Old Buffon, thank you for this!”
“Master, what are you talking about? You are my master; it’s my honor to do something for you.” Old Buffon suddenly felt somewhat unsatisfied. “Others don’t have a chance even if they wanted to. Master, just tell me if you need anything in the future. I will definitely get it done if I can; if not, I’ll try to help you find solutions! ”
“Okay, if I have time after all these matters settled, I’ll visit your place to see the progress of you and your wife’s martial arts.” Yang Ming knew that Old Buffon was interested in these things.
“That’s great, Master.” Old Buffon smiled in delight immediately after hearing this, “Master, then I’ll be waiting for you!”
“En, let’s put this matter aside for a while. Oh yeah, I need to ask you something,” Yang Ming said. “Do you know the Lancer family?”
“Lancer family? Yeah, they are one of our Buffon Family clients. Ninety percent of the firearms they sell are from us.” Old Buffon quickly explained to Yang Ming. “The Lancer family was just a second-class family before this. Their family master Thomas knew how to get along with people. He served my uncle, who was the previous Buffon Family master, well like a pug. So the Buffon Family reached out and supported him which made their family leap from a small inferior family to the largest family in Europe today. ”
“The Lancer family? The firearms they sell are supplied by your family?” Yang Ming was stunned after he heard Old Buffon’s words and just wanted to slap his thigh! Isn’t this world wonderful? It is terribly small. After taking such a big circle, it turns out that the Buffon Family is the superior supplier of the Lancer family!
If a single Lancer family had scared the Butterfly Family to this point, then the strength of the Buffon Family… Yang Ming had only heard how powerful the Buffon Family was before, but had nothing to compare it with. However, Yang Ming just realized that the Buffon Family was not ordinary at all after today’s comparison!
Yang Ming then thought of a very dramatic scene. The Lancer family had cut off the firearms supply to the Butterfly Family, so what would happen if the Buffon Family cuts off the firearms supply to the Lancer family?
The corner of Yang Ming’s mouth drew a beautiful arc once he thought of this. Didn’t you say that there was not enough quota and you had a tight supply? This time I will make your dream come true and make your insufficient quota become a reality!
Goode dared to hoot in front of me, thinking that he is invincible with the Lancer family as a backer. Now I’ll have to take a look at whether the Lancer family can still protect this silly Goode without the Buffon Family’s support.
“Yes. Master, why did you suddenly ask about the Lancer family… Ah…” Old Buffon was not stupid and instantly thought of something. “Master, could it be the Lancer Family who stopped supplying firearms to your friend? ”
Yang Ming thought This Old Buffon is not an idiot as he could become the Buffon Family master. He is also like an old sly fox from being able to determine some facts through several sentences of mine. He just never had any plot in front of me.
“Old Buffon, you are clever. Not bad, it is exactly the Lancer family who mistreated my friend.” Yang Ming said with amusement in his heart.
“It turns out to be that old guy, Thomas.” Old Buffon repeated the name lightly and he had an idea immediately. “Master, do you want me to give this old guy a lesson? I think this guy had forgotten about how the Lancer Family had become what it is now. He even dared to offend my Master. This is truly unsightly! ”
Yang Ming laughed secretly. This Thomas also has a fool in his sleeves [1]. Thomas’ status in Old Buffon’s mind is much lower than mine, and he is considered as a dispensable character. The Buffon Family won’t benefit a lot by having them as a customer, and will not have any losses by having one less customer. He can be abandoned at any time, but he doesn’t seem to realize it.
“It’s a must to give them a lesson, but not now. Old Buffon, wait for my call. You can make a move only when I tell you to.” Yang Ming thought for a while and said.
I will let the idiot Goode be proud for a few days first, and let the Lancer family feel good about themselves for a few days. Then, I will make them fall to rock bottom from great heights. This method that manipulates great rises and falls would make the Lancer family miserable.
“Okay, Master, I’ll wait for your news.” Old Buffon agreed quickly to please. His uncle had passed away and this old guy Thomas was never as humble to him as he was towards his uncle. It seemed like he had become more complacent with the improvement of his family and status. He would not know his limits if Old Buffon did not give him a lesson now.
Yang Ming hung up Old Buffon’s phone and felt relieved in his heart. It was not a problem to clean up the Lancer Family as long as Old Buffon cooperates.
Although I was sure in my heart that Old Buffon could provide help, I didn’t know there was such a complicated relationship. I didn’t dare to boast in front of Wang Songshan and others before this, but it’s not a problem anymore. Only a single sentence is needed to finish up the Lancer family and resolve all the Butterfly Family’s troubles.
Chapter 1520: Dilemma
Butler Mu and Wang Xiaoyan felt an unusual atmosphere when they returned to the Butterfly Castle. Although the servants and disciples were as respectful as ever, there was an indescribable oppressive atmosphere surrounding the family.
Moreover, Wang Xiaoyan only comes back once in a blue moon. Wang Songshan would normally greet her personally with a smile on his face every time she came back, but nothing happened this time.
It was not that the disciples of the family did not notify Wang Songshan. In fact, the disciples on duty called and reported to Wang Songshan immediately once Butler Mu and Wang Xiaoyan’s car entered the surveillance range of the Butterfly Castle.
“Yanyan… Little Butterfly is back.” Wang Songshan put down the phone and looked at Wang Ruoshui and Fang Tian.
Wang Ruoshui also knew that her niece’s name was Wang Xiaoyan and Little Butterfly was just her nickname through Wang Songshan’s explanation previously. However, she was used to the name of Little Butterfly and felt that the name Yanyan wasn’t as comfortable.
“Then, I will avoid her for a while.” Fang Tian glanced at Wang Songshan. Although the current troubles had not been resolved, their plan was still in progress. They had just lost the mood to continue playing, but now they could only conceal it as they had already progressed to this step. Otherwise, more issues would arise if Wang Xiaoyan found out that Fang Tian was here.
A single matter of Goode had given Wang Songshan a headache. How would he have the mood to explain to Wang Xiaoyan at this moment?
“What are you avoiding?” Wang Ruoshui didn’t know the secret and looked at Fang Tian baffled.
“I brought my apprentice to break off the engagement, so naturally it would be inappropriate for me to sit here. It would be embarrassing to meet your niece.” Fang Tian explained.
“Do as you please.” Wang Ruoshui did not overthink it. She waved her hand impatiently and signaled Fang Tian to do as he wanted.
Fang Tian smiled bitterly, then he quickly went out of Wang Songshan’s study and returned to his room.
“Wang Ruoshui frowned suddenly while looking at Fang Tian’s rapid departure, “Why is this guy being so mysterious?”
“Who knows?” Wang Songshan also smiled bitterly. How could he explain the farce made by Fang Tian and him to Wang Ruoshui? After the explanation, Wang Ruoshui might even think that these two old guys were being inappropriate by fooling the juniors to have fun.
Although Wang Xiaoyan and Butler Mu were curious about the strange atmosphere at home, they still came to Wang Songshan’s study quickly. The disciples had already told them that Wang Songshan was waiting for them in the study.
Both of them knocked on the door when they reached Wang Songshan’s study. Wang Songshan’s voice immediately sounded from inside, “Come in!”
Butler Mu reached out to push open the door and let Wang Xiaoyan in first. He then followed as she entered the room.
Wang Xiaoyan and Butler Mu were stunned when they saw that Wang Songshan wasn’t alone in the study. There was a young woman. So, there were guests in the house? Butler Mu and Wang Xiaoyan only then understood why Wang Songshan had not gone out to welcome Wang Xiaoyan. It was because there was a guest at home; no wonder the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Wang Xiaoyan glanced unexpectedly at the middle-aged woman in front of her. Although Wang Xiaoyan did not know her, she had a familiar and intimate feeling as if she had seen her before.
However, Butler Mu frowned as he saw this person’s appearance and his gaze was more imposing… This person is… Butler Mu suddenly had shivers all over his body, “You… You are…the Miss? ”
The words of Butler Mu did not surprise Wang Songshan and Wang Ruoshui, but Wang Xiaoyan was startled and looked at Butler Mu strangely. She was the only Miss in the Butterfly Family and there were no others. Why did Butler Mu call this person… Miss?
“Uncle Mu … You still recognize me?” Wang Ruoshui looked at Butler Mu deeply with emotion. Time had made this once middle-aged man into an old man. This time of twenty years was neither short nor long.
“Miss, it really is you… You are finally back. I’ve missed you, and it’s been painful…” Butler Mu said and couldn’t help but tear up emotionally! He was from the same generation as Wang Songshan’s father and had watched Wang Songshan and Wang Ruoshui grow up. Although they were not his children, he treated them as if they were. Their relationship was irreplaceable!
Butler Mu was also heartbroken after Wang Ruoshui’s incident and he even hated Fang Tian. Although he knew that Wang Songshan had a complicated relationship with Fang Tian as brothers, Butler Mu would not have a good expression on his face whenever Fang Tian visited.
He originally thought that he could no longer meet Wang Ruoshui in his life. He never expected that he would meet Wang Ruoshui again after twenty years! No wonder he was so excited!
“Uncle Mu, I’m sorry for making you worry…” Wang Ruoshui saw Butler Mu and suddenly felt uncomfortable. She knew that Butler Mu was really worried about her.
“Hehe, it’s okay, it’s okay. It’s good that you came back!” Butler Mu waved his hand, “I’m glad as long as you are back. Otherwise, I would always be worried in my heart …”
Wang Xiaoyan could guess this person’s identity by now even though she did not know her! Butler Mu had called her “Miss” and who else could be called “Miss” in the Butterfly Family apart from herself?
Besides, this person had some similarities with herself… Wang Xiaoyan finally understood why she looked so familiar before. It was because she saw her own shadow in her body.
After recalling Butler Mu’s words just now, she realized that this person was her long-lost aunt who she had never met!
“Aunt, is it you?” Although Wang Xiaoyan had affirmed the thoughts in her heart, she inevitably asked tentatively.
“Little Butterfly, it’s me! I’m your aunt!” Wang Ruoshui’s words were filled with excitement as she saw that her niece had grown so much. She shivered and reached out her hand, “Come, let your aunt take a good look at you… Your aunt has never seen you ever since you were born… ”
“Aunt…” Wang Xiaoyan hurried forward and was pulled over by Wang Ruoshui to pamper.
If Yang Ming saw this strange scene, he would be extremely shocked at first, and then scold both Fang Tian and Wang Songshan for deceiving him.
However, Yang Ming was currently lying in his room. He was thinking about how to talk to and negotiate for his conditions with Wang Songshan. He would help them solve the problem and teach both the Lancer and Douglas families a lesson. Both sides would be content and return to their own business and mothers after breaking off the engagement…
However, it seemed like Wang Songshan’s mother had passed away a long time ago?
The key question is, what if my amazing performance this time made Wang Songshan unwilling to let go of this outstanding son-in-law? This is not a joke, it is very likely. What should I do if Wang Songshan is reluctant to break off the engagement because of my outstanding performance?
What if Wang Songshan’s daughter, who I have never met, also falls in love with me after she sees that I am so amazing? This is also possible…
Yang Ming had a sudden headache after having these thoughts. It somehow seemed to be a little dilemma? Yang Ming was not being narcissistic, he was confident in being able to solve the Butterfly Family’s trouble. Who wouldn’t worship someone who could easily solve a problem that seemed very difficult to them?
However, no one knew whether Yang Ming, who had complex feelings now, would feel if he found out that the so-called Miss Butterfly Family was actually Wang Xiaoyan…
