Chapter 162: Meeting the boss.



Chapter 162: Meeting the boss.

Haru stood at the door for a few minutes. He knew that the man behind would be the most powerful person he had met here on earth. They probably held a really high position not just in the criminal underworld but in the government. If someone was this strong they would definitely be on the governments watch list.

'I wonder if there is a bounty on his head? Nah I doubt his real enemies are still alive.' Haru thought before raising his hand up to knock on the door. But before his hand could even reach the door they both opened up as a blast of Qi rushed passed Haru's face. 

He looked into the room to where a man looking no older than fifty sat in an office chair facing him. 'Well, this is unexpected. I thought it would be some really old man but he just looks like someone's dad.' Haru felt a slight bit of disappointment as he made eye contact with the man sitting in the chair. 

"You must be Haru I've heard so much about you." He chuckled to himself and then held out his hand to announce it was okay for him to enter the room and take a seat with him. 

"All good things I hope." Haru joked with him before entering. It probably wasn't the smartest idea to joke around but he didn't feel threatened by him at all. He wasn't sure if it was the boost in confidence he had gotten from fighting his underlings or the power he had absorbed from the old demon. 

Despite the difference of nearly three stages in cultivation Haru still felt like he had a chance if he were to fight against him. Although he didn't know for sure if he could come out on top he was confident he could injure him at least. 

"Of course they are all good. It isn't every day that I meet with someone who's power I can't even determine." The man seemed to be wary of Haru and for good reason.

As soon as Haru entered the room the old man's Qi seemed ineffective. He usually spread his Qi throughout his office to make things easier like making coffee without using his hands. But it was like it had all been dispelled as soon as this mysterious young man entered the room. 

"Would you like something to drink?" The man asked before even introducing himself and then pressed a little black button on his desk just as Haru sat down. A portion of the table then lifted up into the air within a cylinder of wood before opening op from the top revealing a silver light from within. 

As the wood opened further to see, bottles of alcohol and glasses emerged on a platform at the right hight to grab for them without stretching. 

'That's fancy' Hau thought before smiling. How much money would someone have to have to make a desk have a feature like that? It would probably cost at least one hundred thousand yuan for something like that. 

The man then reached out before taking a bottle of wine from the platform along with two glasses and then poured them until they were half full.

"You will be amazed by this wine. It's from a collection that was found on a sunken ship in the sixties." The man bragged before putting the glass back and pressing the button once more to get rid of the obstruction on the desk before holding out his hand to hand Haru one of the glasses. 

"Oh, Shit. I forgot to introduce myself" The man said with a little bit of embarrassment on his face. He was so immersed with creating a good first impression that he forgot the most basic thing of meeting with someone new. 

"I was about to say that myself. I don't usually drink with someone without knowing at least their name." Haru smiled and accepted the glass of wine from the man. 

"Well then. My name is Ma Hanying I'm the current leader of the crimson spiders and sit at the top of the underworld. But you probably know that already." He sighed slightly. 

"Why would I know that already?" Haru asked. Out of everything he said those last words had more emphasis on them than any others. It seemed like he was hinting at something deeper than what Haru knew.

"Oh sorry I didn't mean to cause offence, I was just referring to your association. They probably told you a lot about me didn't they?" The man asked and then watched as Haru smiled before it turned to laughter. 

"No that's my fault. I guess it probably looked like I was with them. But that's not the case. I just know a few of their members that's all. I don't really care for what they have to say about people or else I wouldn't have even come here." Haru cleared up the misunderstanding as best as he could by explaining that he just asked for their help a few times.

"Wait? You aren't one of their members? Thank god if that's the case then I have a business proposition for you." The man said and then sat back in his chair before reaching into his suit pocket and pulling out a carton of cigars. He pulled one out for himself and then held the open carton out for Haru to take one.

Haru shook his head to decline his offer and in response, he took his hand away before holding a lighter up to the cigar that had already found its way to his mouth. 

"Suit your self." He said after taking a few short breathes as he inhaled the smoke. And then sat there silently for a few minutes while fiddling with the tip of his cigar to try to get it to burn perfectly. 

"So Mr Ma? What is your business proposition?" Haru asked to remind him that he was in fact still in the room as he had seemed to forget all about it while fiddling with his cigar. 

"Oh, It's fine if you just call me Han. There's no need for formalities between two old men." He laughed and then sat back before blowing a ring of smoke into the air. 

"Old men?" Haru asked and then sat there silently. 'Does he know that I reincarnated? No that's impossible. He must think that I am an old master using a technique to stop my ageing.' Haru said to reassure himself but Han had already caught onto what Haru had said.

"You are an old master from one of the three hidden sects right?" Han asked with a grin of suspicion forming on his face. He didn't think that he could be wrong. How else would someone be able to hide their power if they weren't in fact stronger than him? They had to be from the hidden sects as it would be nearly impossible for someone to be as young as Haru looked to him, to be able to hide their presence from a peak nirvana stage cultivator.

"Um No. Not at all. I in fact only turned eighteen this year." Haru said with a little bit of hesitation. He wondered what Han's reaction would be to finding out that he was wrong would be.

"Haha. You almost got me. You sounded so serious." Han laughed and then looked back at Haru's face which didn't change from the serious look he was giving. 

Haru then reached down into his pocket without saying a word and pulled out his student ID. It had his date of birth, name and picture on it. And then slid it across the table for Han to take a look at.

"What!? How? This has got to be a joke right? The hidden sects are producing geniuses like this? Why didn't anyone say anything during the last meeting? Who is your teacher?" Han asked as he leaned back in his seat in disbelief. He had read the situation entirely wrong and felt a little embarrassed.

"The hidden sects? What's that? I haven't heard of them before." Haru stared with a now confused expression. 

"You have got to be kidding me? Which backwater town did you come from if you don't know who the hidden sects are But actually, this might be useful I want you to help me with something else. I changed my mind." Han said with a sinister grin. 

"Oh Well, what is it?" Haru asked while ignoring the fact that he didn't explain anything about the so-called hidden sects.

"I want you to fight for me in a tournament. I will pay you for it." Han stated and then looked Haru up and down to try to judge his body structure

"A tournament? I'm guessing it will be against these three hidden sects or whatever? Well, it depends on how much you're paying." Haru said and then sat back in his chair. It was now time for negotiations to start.

"It's not just against the three hidden sects but yeah you're right they will be there. But so will all the other sects in China. Even independent fighters and people from the association will be there. And how much do you want? Give me your price." Han said back while explaining a bit more. 

Haru held up three fingers on his hand as he figured it would be a good starting point for negotiations.

"Three? Done deal. Honestly, I was thinking the same thing. Three million dollars is the most I would have offered you anyway." Han said with a smirk and then pulled out his phone to send a text message. 

Haru's Jaw almost hit the floor as he repeated the number over in his head. 'Three million dollars?! I was actually thinking more like three hundred thousand yuan Three million dollars is around twenty million yuan!!!' He was shocked by the number and his body stiffened up a little before he looked back up at Han.
