Chapter 2540 — Big Feng's Trouble
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Mr. Lin..." The call connected only after four or five rings, and Big Feng's respectful voice came through.
"Big Feng, how are things going? Have you taken the seat of the big boss?" Wei Zhao asked lightly.
"Thanks to you, Mr. Lin, I've taken the position of big boss of the Red Conch's domestic stronghold..." Here Big Feng paused, then said with a bitter smile, "But a bit of trouble has come up..."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Wei Zhao asked. "I paved the road for you—and you still can't handle it?"
"Mr. Lin, there's nothing I can do. The headquarters probably doesn't trust me to hold all the power alone. They didn't promote a second or third boss, but they sent a strategist down from headquarters. He's called a strategist, but his authority is equal to mine—I have to consult him on everything I do. And since he comes from headquarters, his say carries even more weight than mine..." Big Feng said with some helplessness. "Right now he's calling the shots on most Red Conch matters here. I can't even get a hand in..."
"Oh? Is that so?" Wei Zhao frowned. It seemed he had made things a bit too simple in his thinking. He had assumed that once those Red Conch leaders were dealt with, Big Feng could rise to the top and hold sole power—but he had not expected headquarters to send in someone from above.
Still, on reflection, there was nothing unreasonable about it. The old Red Conch stronghold had been controlled by three bosses together; now only Big Feng remained. Whether out of trust or to keep Big Feng from holding sole power, it was only normal for headquarters to send another person.
"Exactly..." Big Feng said with a bitter smile. "I want to finish Mr. Lin's task as soon as possible too, but my hands are tied—whatever I do, that strategist is watching me..."
