Seeing Cai Tian's cruel smile, Tanaka Kitano knew that he truly despised Hu Xiaobei to death.

At that moment, he decided to make good use of this hatred and turn this man named Cai Tian into the most loyal dog by his side...

Thinking this, Tanaka Kitano glanced at Cai Tian once more...

Soon, he turned his head and looked at his own dog, Ma Xi, speaking coldly, "Spread the word, I'm up against Hu Xiaobei now! Anyone who continues to associate with Hu Xiaobei is my enemy! I will ruthlessly crush them. However, if anyone wants to cooperate with me, then I will fully support them, even giving them various favorable treatments!"

"Yes!"

Ma Xi, upon hearing the command, quickly agreed. His decisiveness stemmed from his utter belief in Tanaka Kitano!

But not everyone was as unconditionally loyal to Tanaka Kitano as Ma Xi was...

No, after hearing his words, Cai Tian hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "Young Master Tanaka, this... this seems a bit too exaggerated! This would push everyone to stand against us!"

Although Cai Tian wasn't very bright, he still knew that Tanaka Kitano currently needed stability and growth!

Under such circumstances, presenting this ultimatum would force everyone in Lake Water County to choose sides, definitely leading to absolute dissatisfaction.

"Cai Tian, you damned fool, have you lost your mind?"

No sooner had Cai Tian asked, he didn't yet hear Tanaka Kitano's reply, and was met by Ma Xi's utterly hysterical scolding!

With the corner of his mouth twitching slightly, Cai Tian looked at the furious Ma Xi, who seemed ready to devour him, and said coldly, "Ma Xi, what... what do you mean by this? What's this about me going mad? Can't I even ask a question?"

Hearing Cai Tian still sounding reasonable, Ma Xi responded coldly, "What do I mean? You idiot, let me tell you one last time, my master, Tanaka Kitano, cannot tolerate the slightest doubt. Therefore, you just unconditionally carry out his orders. If you can't do that, get the hell out of here. My master doesn't need trash like you; he needs respectfully responsive insects."

"This..."

Cai Tian's mouth twitched wildly upon hearing Ma Xi's response...

He truly hadn't expected Ma Xi to say such a thing.

"Damn it! Ma Xi really is fit to be a dog!"

Shocked, Cai Tian muttered to himself.

At that moment, Cai Tian heard Tanaka Kitano's cold voice, "Cai Tian, you didn't understand me before. So, for this time's questioning, I won't take offense. But if you intend to doubt me in the future, then just get out, got it?"

"Yes! I understand!"

Although he was very upset inside, Cai Tian could only nod...

He knew he was under Tanaka Kitano's roof, so to continue arguing would be tantamount to suicide...

Hearing Cai Tian's response, Tanaka Kitano glanced at him and said indifferently, "I know you must think I'm crazy right now! Let me explain it to you! We and Hu Xiaobei have completely fallen out now, so there's no turning back for us! You admit that much, right?"

"Yes, I admit it!"

Cai Tian realized that since they had started this quarrel, they definitely couldn't end it half-heartedly; there had to be a fight to the death.

Seeing Cai Tian nodding, Tanaka Kitano continued, "In this situation, where we must have a winner, the purpose of my ultimatum is not to attract those who support Hu Xiaobei but to draw in his enemies."

"Enemies?"

"Yes! Aren't you one of Hu Xiaobei's enemies? I believe there are many in Lake Water County who bear him ill will! I'm now preparing to rally them together, that way we can put all our effort in one direction, can't we?"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's absolutely right!"

After hearing Tanaka Kitano's explanation, Cai Tian nodded vigorously!

Only then did he realize that Tanaka Kitano had already thought everything through!

Seeing Cai Tian's excited and shocked expression, Ma Xi spoke coldly, "Now you understand, don't you? My master is very strong! All those things you can think of, he's already thought of them. And frankly, even the things you can't think of, he's thought of them too!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I know now!"

Although Ma Xi's tone was condescending, Cai Tian didn't argue with him.

Because he knew Ma Xi was right. Tanaka Kitano indeed had his own merits.

Hearing Ma Xi butter up his master, Tanaka Kitano slightly furrowed his brow, "Alright, now send this ultimatum out to everyone in Lake Water County!"

"Yes!"

After the two of them respectfully departed, Tanaka Kitano spoke indifferently, "Hu Xiaobei, from now on, our confrontation officially begins! I hope you can stand up to the challenge and not just get crushed by me. Otherwise, it would truly be too boring."

After saying this, he thought of Yao Yan'er's upcoming concert...

"Yao Yan'er, you're about to have your concert, and I don't have anything nice to give you. So, I'll offer you Hu Xiaobei's downfall! I'll show you and other women that a woman I set my eyes on has no right to be in contact with any other men..."

He finished speaking and burst into excited, maniacal laughter...

In Tanaka Kitano's view, although the conflict with Hu Xiaobei had only just begun, the result was already clear - because he had no reason to fail...

...

In Lake Water County, news of Tanaka Kitano's ultimatum spread rapidly to everyone's ears!

In no time at all, everyone in Lake Water County was aware of the message!

The flower shop owners who had signed a cooperation contract with Hu Xiaobei snorted coldly after hearing the news and didn't care at all, because they knew they had already chosen Hu Xiaobei...

Of course, their indifference didn't mean everyone was indifferent; many still took some notice...

At this time, in a restaurant on the pedestrian street, many people gathered together.

Someone eager for gossip quickly asked, "Who do you think will win this time between Tanaka Kitano and Hu Xiaobei?"

Hearing this curious gossip, many people began to share their opinions!

It was then that an elderly man with a spirited look spoke up, "To be honest, if it were a competition of fruits or something like that, I would definitely believe in Master Xiaobei, because his Xiaobei Brand is fantastic! But now that it's about planting flowers, I think Master Xiaobei might not stand a chance."

"I think so too!"

"Me as well!"

Hearing the elderly man's words, many people quickly agreed!

Each trade has its own master!

Everyone understood this principle.

That's why many people didn't believe Hu Xiaobei could win.

This time, Hu Xiaobei's opponent, Tanaka Kitano, had been in the flower planting business for many years and was now an absolute expert.

Hearing almost everyone favoring Tanaka Kitano, the person who had spoken earlier hesitated for a moment before asking, "So, what do we do? Do we continue to wait and see?"

"Yes! Let's keep watching!"

"I think so too!"

"Right!"

They knew that hastily choosing either Hu Xiaobei or Tanaka Kitano wasn't wise, so they planned to consider their options for the time being.

Because they knew that once they made the wrong choice, they would be completely ruined.

Of course, even though they decided to continue watching, their hearts were already leaning more towards Tanaka Kitano!

Because his skill in flower planting was far more formidable.

Hu Xiaobei had many enemies in Lake Water County!

Actually, they couldn't really be called Hu Xiaobei's enemies; they were more like the people he had defeated.

Before, knowing that Hu Xiaobei was at the height of success, they didn't think about revenge, but now, learning that Hu Xiaobei was up against Tanaka Kitano, they saw an opportunity for themselves and decided to kick him while he was down.

After an excited discussion, all of them were ready to stand by Tanaka Kitano...

At the same time, they were all daydreaming...

In their eyes, Hu Xiaobei definitely didn't stand a chance.

So now they must go to enjoy the show; otherwise, they might miss out on the chance forever...

...

At the seed market, Ding Linna learned about Cai Tian mingling with Tanaka Kitano!

She knew that Cai Tian was now with Tanaka Kitano because of her...

"If I hadn't lied to him before, telling him that Master Xiaobei was my boyfriend, he probably wouldn't have gotten involved with Tanaka Kitano."

Thinking so, she felt some regret!

Not so much for deceiving Cai Tian, but for adding an enemy to Hu Xiaobei.

"I have to call Master Xiaobei! Otherwise, he might end up in a passive state!"

With that thought, Ding Linna quickly dialed the number!

Soon, her heart fluttered because she heard Hu Xiaobei's voice, which was utterly soothing.

"Master Xiaobei!"

"What's up, Sister Ding?"

Hu Xiaobei, who was sitting in his villa enjoying the sun, sensed the anxiety in Ding Linna's tone and asked curiously!

Soon, Hu Xiaobei learned from her about the reason for her nervousness!

Laughing, Hu Xiaobei said, "Sister Ding, I thought it was some serious matter! There's nothing to worry about with this! You don't need to be concerned in the future!"

"But... but it's all because of me that Cai Tian is targeting you, I... I still feel very sorry!"

Hearing Ding Linna's hesitation, Hu Xiaobei chuckled and said, "It's fine, that Cai Tian is just a jumping clown! Honestly, I don't even care about that Tanaka Kitano! So you really don't need to worry! By the way, I do have something very serious to talk to you about!"

"Something serious, Master Xiaobei, you... go ahead and tell me!"

Feeling Ding Linna's nervousness, Hu Xiaobei let out a sly chuckle and said, "Sister Ding, they say people have a subconscious mind, so when you asked me to pretend to be your boyfriend, did your subconscious mind already see me as your boyfriend, huh!"
