Chapter 426: I Want to Be the Home Team! Home Team!Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“That…” Ling Xiaoyi’s forehead was filled with cold sweat as she reported to Hong Dali. “I’ve arranged for Xiao Dao and the rest to practice basketball at the newly constructed stadium at the sci-fi town. Currently, that place has been developed quite well, and the facilities and whatnot are all very complete.”

“Not bad, not bad.” Hong Dali was very satisfied. “Then let’s go take a look.”

Everyone instantly got into the car and set off, going back to the sci-fi town.

Currently, because of the nation’s support, the construction team at the sci-fi town was the most advanced and high-end. After being designed and planned by professionals, the construction of the stadium appeared to be like a huge iron fortress from the outside. However, because the time period was short, it was still far from being done, and there were quite a few metal frames outside. Inside, it could already be provided for Xiao Dao and the other four for training, and it was considered a special approval.

As Hong Dali brought the others into the stadium, they saw that the interior was another eye-opener.

Because this place was named “sci-fi town,” all the facilities were planned according to the most advanced facilities in the entire Heavenly State. From this, it could be seen that, though the Bureau Chief asked Hong Dali to develop this area alone, he’d provided quite a lot of support in the dark—at least he didn’t ask Hong Dali to fork out all the money. Or else, if only the Hong Family was depended on to construct such a big town, god knows when it would be constructed.

After entering the basketball court where Xiao Dao and the others were training at, Hong Dali greeted them from afar. “Brother Xiao Dao, how is your training going?”

Upon hearing Hong Dali’s voice, Xiao Dao and the other four hurriedly ran over. “Young Master is here, haha, quickly take a seat.” As they spoke, they invited Hong Dali inside.

Flying Bull basketball team was sold to Hong Dali by Qian Youjin. Before selling it, all the elites had been poached from the team, and now, only the old and weak were left to accompany Xiao Dao’s training in the court. They were in an extremely bad state, all listless, looking like soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield.

Hong Dali wasn’t bothered. He only grinned and asked, “Is everything okay? For the competition tomorrow…” Speaking up to this point, he suddenly turned his head and asked Ling Xiaoyi, “Oh right. Sister Xiaoyi, where’s the competition tomorrow, has it been set?”

“Young Master, the venue of the competition has been set to be at Tianjing West City Basketball Hall. The Wanhao basketball team which is going to compete with us is currently training over there.” Ling Xiaoyi hurriedly answered.

“Oh, is that so.” Hong Dali touched his chin, then he suddenly asked, “That means we’re the guest team?”

“This… it can be said so…” Ling Xiaoyi nodded. Xiao Dao hurriedly said, “Young Master, we’re all in Tianjing City. It doesn’t really matter whether we’re the guest team, all our brothers are high spirited.”

“Oh, that won’t do.” Hong Dali twitched his lips. “How can we lose from the starting line. Sister Xiaoyi, contact that basketball court and ask whether they’re willing to sell it, and if so, how much they’re willing to sell it for.”

Ling Xiaoyi was soaked in sweat. “Young… Young Master, it’s a state-owned facility…”

“State-owned, then that’s simple.” Hong Dali took out his phone. “Uncle Chief, are you selling the Tianjing West City Basketball Hall? For how much?”

“Rascal, what are you up to again?” The Bureau Chief raged. “I’ve heard about you having a competition with Wanhao basketball team. But you aren’t thinking of buying that basketball hall just because of a competition, right?!”

“Yes.” Hong Dali expressed it as a matter of fact. “My Flying Bull basketball team will be the guest team if it goes there for the competition. The impact will be very big. I definitely can’t stand this! I want to be the home team! Home team!”

Home team my foot!

The Bureau Chief harshly said, “Then wait for me for a while, rascal. I’ll be angered to death by you…” After speaking, he hung up the call. Very soon, he called back again. “I’ve liaised with the city. 75 million. It can be transferred under your name, but you can’t make your own decisions regarding the changing of the personnel, or else, it’ll be very troublesome to make the transfer.”

“That’s fine, that’s fine.” Hong Dali beamed with delight. “Round up to 100 million, it’s a deal then!”

“Rascal, do you have too much money and nowhere to spend it…” The Bureau Chief mumbled. “Make it 80 million, the government can’t round it up with you. The additional 5 million will be used for the enhancement and maintenance of the facilities.”

“Whatever. It’s fine as long as we are the home team.” Hong Dali hung up the call.

Xiao Dao and the rest directly knelt down. “Young Master, we’ll win this competition no matter what! Or else it’ll be too humiliating!”

“Ah, it’s fine, it’s fine.” Hong Dali casually waved his hand. “It’s fine as long as you do your best.”

…

In a hidden underground gymnasium in Tianjing City.

This underground gymnasium was located under a school field in Tianjing City. Its entrance was within an extremely unassuming ordinary apartment. Of course, the real owner of this apartment was the most notorious Sand Eagle organization in the world which only valued money!

And currently, in this underground gymnasium, there was a young man wearing earmuffs and practicing his shooting.

This young man had short hair, ordinary looks, and the muscles all over his body didn’t appear too fierce. He looked a little stronger than ordinary people, but overall, he gave people the impression that he was extremely robust, like a healthy and strong leopard.

Boom boom boom!

As that young man made various poses very casually, a series of stifled gunshot sounds were heard. Then, on the target, there was a large row of numbers displayed—”Tenth ring! Tenth ring! Tenth ring! Tenth ring! Tenth ring!…”

They were all the tenth ring!

The young man named Wen Bin casually threw the pistol away and took his earmuffs off. Then, he slightly let out a breath. He was very satisfied with this result.

Clap clap clap—

Sounds of clapping sounded from a corner of the gymnasium. A deep voice said, “Haha, Wen Bin, looks like during these years that you’ve hidden in Heavenly State, you haven’t slackened in your training—your shooting is still so accurate.”

Wen Bin turned around and looked, then smiled and said, “In order to be able to take on missions from the organization anytime, I naturally can’t slacken in my training. But speaking of which, Diamond K, you’ve actually come personally this time, looks like the target has quite a big background.”

“It’s indeed big.” Diamond K was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his 40s, but the cap on his head was blocking a large portion of his face. Thus, his looks couldn’t be seen clearly. He threw a document to Wen Bin and insipidly said, “A little prodigal with super good luck, this is the information regarding him. You can take a look.”

“A little prodigal with super good luck?” Wen Bin received the materials and took a few glances, then he smiled and said, “It’s Hong Dali as expected, haha. Once you said that his luck is good, I immediately thought about this fellow. Since there are people who want to kill him, I believe the commission wouldn’t be low?”

“500 million.” Diamond K shrugged. “A rare sum these days. To be honest, the organization is trying to groom you, and if the assassination is successful this time, you can get a dividend of 50 million. It’s enough to live for the rest of your life.”

“You’re jealous?” Wen Bin smiled. “I can let you have it.”

“Indeed, a dividend of 50 million is not a small amount. I am a little jealous.” Diamond K shook his head. “But the organization is very pleased with your growth these few fears, and they’re planning to groom you. So, after you’ve succeeded this time, you can enter the management team—the empty position of Club J is being reserved for you.”

Sand Eagle organization’s big boss, Charles, had the Heart A code name, and those whose code name letters were J and K belonged to the management team. K was the biggest, and J was the smallest. But though Sand Eagle didn’t have too many members, the management team had very high-level benefits. Other things aside, they only needed to sit there and wait for the members below to risk their lives and go all out, yet they could get commission and dividends without having to take any risks. This point was enough to make the other members want to get into the management team with all their might.

“Ohh, Club J.” Thus, upon hearing that the empty position of Club J was reserved for him, Wen Bin’s eyes lit up. “Then, looks like this time I indeed need to do it well.”

“Hehe, of course.” Diamond K slowly said, “According to the latest intelligence, tomorrow at 8 pm, Hong Dali will go to Tianjing West City Basketball Hall to watch the competition between Flying Bull and Wanhao. I don’t have to say what to do, right?”

Wen Bin smiled and nodded. “Of course, I’ll go and check out the area now.”

“Then I’ll wish you success beforehand.” Diamond K raised a wine glass which already had red wine inside, smiled and said, “Though this little prodigal is very lucky, in face of absolute ability, he’s nothing.”

“Of course. Cheers!”

…

Tianjing City, on the streets of West Fourth Loop.

The golden-haired Angel of Misfortune, Vincent Iverson, looked at the pretty girls who occasionally passed by him, happy to tears. “My God, after so many years, I’m finally able to see real-life pretty girls, this is too blissful! Long and elegant hair cascading like waterfalls, a slim figure, snow-white skin, look at those little legs, they’re also painted with beautiful nail polish! Ah, I love this country! It’s just too beautiful here!”

He excitedly spread out his arms and exclaimed loudly, attracting the attention of the people around. Quite a lot of pretty girls pointed at him and secretly talked among themselves, then they covered their mouths and giggled.

Vincent Iverson kept looking at everything for a while more, then he touched his chin. “Mm, this country is very awesome. I feel that I should complete my mission as soon as possible, then I can feel free to play all I want. Then, what should I do? Oh right, I heard that recently, Hong Dali is very close to Chuyin. Should I curse him to drown to death? Get burned to death in a fire? Fall from the building? Or…”

He thought for quite a while, then, as he stared at the cars racing across the streets, his eyes suddenly lit up. “Oh right, I heard that Hong Dali has great exuberance whenever he goes out, with quite a few sports cars opening up the way for him. Then, I’ll do this…”

As he spoke, he took out his laptop and connected to the internet. Then, he posted on Weibo: “Heavenly State is a very awesome country, I like this place. But my only regret is that I heard that Hong Dali is getting very close to my adorable Miss Chuyin. This makes me very troubled. Ah, I saw that the cars on the roads here are all very cool, and I heard that Hong Dali’s car is also very cool. I wonder whether he’d get into any accidents… For example, a car crash or whatnot. That’d be good, heh heh.”
