n“I’m really envious of you since you get to cooperate with Mister Lu!”

nAt this time, the magnate who asked the question earlier continued. He apparently knew Mister Lu’s position in the world of Cultivators and naturally was aware of what his name ultimately represented in their world.

nIt was a name with a well-known reputation.

nThe others looked at the two curiously. From what they could tell from this dialogue, that Mister Lu must really have been an incredible person, or the rich magnate would not have such an envious expression.

n“Cooperate? You can’t call that cooperation. I’m just one of Mister Lu’s lackeys!” Yang Chengsi replied, shaking his head.

nHearing this, the crowd was even more astounded. They all had heard to various degrees about what kind of man Yang Chengsi was, even if they were not Min Province natives. They had also heard that Yang Chengsi was one of the big bosses in Min Province, who had business connections in both the legal and illegal realms.

nEven if he was faced with the Min Province Agency of Special Affairs Chief, he would not stoop so low as to call himself a lackey.

nYet, looking at the way Yang Chengsi said it, he did not even seem to have a problem calling himself Mister Lu’s lackey.

nThe people watching had the slightest inkling that this Mister Lu was not a simple person.

nYang Chengsi simply swept a cold look over the magnate and did not take his words to heart.

nThey were all people in the circle of the wealthy, and even if they had heard about events in the world of Cultivators to some degree, they only took the news at face value.

nPeople who were not of the world of Cultivators could not understand their logic and way of thinking in the end.

nIn terms of the market, even if they were facing the number one or number two heads of a country, they would not have to serve them as their lackeys.

nThe resources they controlled were a kind of strength in themselves.

nHowever, this kind of strength was worthless in front of a true master.

nThe reason was that their rules could not bind a master from the world of Cultivators.

nThey would not engage in a proper trade war. They would just attack, and their opponent was dead.

nSuddenly, right at this moment, the main door to their private room was opened.

nYang Chengsi furrowed his brow, wondering who could be so impertinent.

nHowever, when he raised his head to look at the new arrival, he could not help but go pale.

nIt was a bespectacled middle-aged man dressed in a Chinese robe.

n“Wen Ziteng?” Yang Chengsi’s pupils contracted slightly.

nHe had already recognized the man as Wen Ziteng. This was the other boss of the underworld who he had chased out of Min Province back then.

nIt was only after he pushed out Wen Ziteng that Yang Chengsi could become the Master of the Coalition of the Woods in Min Province.

n“I didn’t think you would still recognize me!” Wen Ziteng said with a light laugh.

nYang Chengsi shot to his feet immediately, as the muscles across his body tensed up. This was different from when he faced Lu Xuan, as this man was his true mortal enemy.

n“Still, the one who wants to talk to you today isn’t me, but our young master!”

nWen Ziteng made an inviting gesture, and a young man walked in with big strides. The young man was wearing a presentable and expensive-looking white suit, and he had a handsome face, except for the fact that he looked a bit mean.

nHis eyes swept over the people present as he said, “It’s very lively here. It seems like I’m not too late and have arrived right on time!”

nSaying this, he pulled over a chair and sat in it, continuing, “Let me introduce myself to everyone. My name is Song Shijie!”

nSeeing the looks of confusion on the others’ faces, as though they did not know who Song Shijie was, he was not surprised. Continuing on, he said, “This is the first time I’m doing work for my family in the country, so it’s normal for you not to know me. However, you might have heard of our organization, the Holy Dragon Corporation.”

nHearing the name “Holy Dragon Corporation,” many of the people’s faces went pale. If they were regular people, they really might not know about this Holy Dragon Corporation, as it was too distant from the real world they knew about.

nHowever, the people present were different. Among businessmen, even if they were not at the very top, they were pretty close.

nNaturally, they were aware that they were only considered the richest people in the public eye. In reality, there was another hidden world, where many rich magnates were secretly hiding their wealth.

nAmong them, there were several outstanding names, such as the Holy Dragon Corporation and the Taichu Group.

nNobody knew when these organizations were established, but they knew that they had already existed a long, long time ago.

nTo an average person, these businessmen were people of great power and influence, but in front of these organizations, they were nothing.

nThe strength of a branch of any of these organizations was comparable to them, and if it was a main family of the organization, their capabilities far outstripped their own.

nSeeing how the people’s faces had changed in color, Song Shijie nodded in satisfaction, saying, “Looks like everyone should know about our Holy Dragon Corporation. That saves me a lot of effort explaining myself. What I’ve come here to say is, today is the first time I’m helping my family with business, and I’ve heard you’re selling those Vajra Amulets?”

nThe crowd looked at Song Shijie expectantly, not knowing what was coming next.

n“As it happens, I’m interested in them too!” Song Shijie laughed lightly, continuing, “I want to be in charge of all the sales of Vajra Amulets in the country. And everyone just happens to be here, right? It saves me the trouble of going from province to province looking for sales representatives!

n“However, if I’m taking charge, I should naturally get some benefit out of this, right? I’ve heard the selling price for one Vajra Amulet is a hundred thousand. Now, I’m offering you the chance to sell them to me at ten thousand apiece, so you won’t be getting nothing out of it!”

nSong Shijie’s words made the group’s expressions change swiftly. This Song Shijie was obviously trying to pull off a scam. Initially, they got the goods from Yang Chengsi at a price of a hundred thousand apiece, and he was trying to push the price down to ten thousand. Of course, in this case, the ones who would be crushed were not them, but the man backing Yang Chengsi, Mister Lu.

nStill, they were businessmen and naturally disliked people like this who tried to use their own status to pull off daylight robbery.

n“Addressing Young Master Song, the Vajra Amulets are not mine to possess, and so I have no right to determine their price. I’m just a middle-man in these sales!” Yang Chengsi suppressed the rage inside him as he replied.

nThis man was being way too audacious, trying to take a huge chunk of the profits all for himself.

n“Insolence. Is this how that Lu Xuan trains the dogs who serve him?” Seeing that Yang Chengsi did not immediately agree to his request, Song Shijie’s face instantly darkened.

n“It seems like I’ll have to teach you a proper lesson on his behalf. Wen Ziteng, cripple him!” Song Shijie ordered coldly, with an arrogant look.

nLike a phantom, Wen Ziteng’s figure appeared directly in front of Yang Chengsi.

nBang!

n

nWen Ziteng’s palm shot out at the speed of lightning, and in a flash, he struck Yang Chengsi in his lower abdomen.

nWith a cry of agony, Yang Chengsi was sent hurtling backward, covered in blood.

n“You’ve crippled my martial ability!”

nYang Chengsi felt a mixture of fear and anger. He sensed that his Dantian had been broken, and he could no longer use his martial arts. The decades he spent cultivating himself were now for naught.

n“So what if I’ve crippled you and your martial arts?” Song Shijie stood up as he continued, “I’ll give you three days to think about it. Tell this Lu Xuan that he can either let me be in charge of sales in this country or nobody gets to sell Vajra Amulets!”
