Chapter 369: Chapter 367: A Small Gift
In the hall, Bi Fang, who had arrived as promised, immediately saw Matthew, who had been waiting once again. Hask had thoughtfully prepared fresh clothes for both of them to change into.
Matthew was dressed in a black suit, with a white shirt underneath and a narrow black tie. It fitted his salesman’s physique perfectly, making him look every bit the elite of society, and most crucially, the stench of garbage was gone from him.
Bi Fang rubbed his nose. Despite having rested for an entire day, it seemed his nostrils could still detect a faint putrid smell.
It probably wouldn’t get better for another week.
“You’re finally here!” Matthew, on the other side, hurried over upon seeing Bi Fang and looked around suspiciously, as if there was something secretive going on.
Bi Fang raised an eyebrow: “Is there a problem?”
“A big problem!” Matthew confirmed that no one else was nearby before whispering, “Do you know who that old man you saved yesterday is?”
“Who?”
“The actual Chieftain of the entire Eastern District of Abbascan!”
Bi Fang dug his pinky into his ear and cocked his head as if he hadn’t heard clearly: “What did you say?”
“The real Chieftain of the entire Eastern District!”
“…?”
The Chieftain of the Eastern District was almost sold by a gang of Bandit Gangs? What kind of international joke was this?
Although the Chieftain of Abbascan might not be valuable now, it still depended on the situation. The Chieftains of small families, indeed, weren’t worth much, but if it was a great Chieftain, the situation was entirely different.

“Are you serious?” Bi Fang looked at Matthew skeptically.
Matthew patted his chest: “You can trust my professional integrity. I’ve been in this line of work for thirteen years and have reported over a thousand news articles, but I’ve never reported false news!”
“So what’s going on?”
“There’s not enough time for detailed re
Hask gestured for the servants to withdraw; the items, of course, could not be taken directly by the two men, but would be transferred to an international bank, with a direct handover of ownership.
With the gifts delivered, Hask led the two to take their seats, and the host and guests enjoyed themselves.
Although his eldest son was a disappointment, Hask still had other children.
Especially his younger third son, Taseto, who was very interested in the adventurer Bi Fang’s experiences and kept asking questions.
These were not the cheap stories bragged about by the mediocre; they were legendary adventures recorded and filmed with drones!
During the meal, after hearing yet another adventure, Taseto raised his glass in tribute and curiously asked, “Mr. Bi, have you decided where your next adventure will be?”
Upon hearing this, Bi Fang wiped his hands and nodded, “Indeed, I have some thoughts.”
“The next stop, I’m going to Mount Everest.”
