Chapter 421: [338] I Represent Terror, Descending upon the World (Asking for Monthly Tickets, Recomndations, and Genuine Support)_1
The Martial Family of Nandu ca looking for trouble with great fury, and the officials of Da Peng City had almost instantly been inford of the whole story.
Governor Zhou Weiren of the City Hall personally intervened to stop the matter.
“The death of the Martial Family’s mber on the battlefield has had a very negative impact. As Elder Jiang is a symbolic figure of our Da Peng City, we will naturally go all out to diate. However, a person has died in the end… and the situation shouldn’t have beco so awkward,” he said.
The City Hall’s stance was clear, they didn’t want to offend anyone and sought to leverage the death to give the Jiang family a slight knock.
But it probably surprised everyone when Jiang Xinrun, who was leading the team this ti, said quite directly, “Only the Martial Family knows why their person died. If there’s evidence that it was soone from our Jiang family, by all ans, make the arrest.
Also, the Elder has said, it’s a fact that the Martial Family’s people have injured ours, and he’s currently in the hospital. Are you going to deal with this or not?”
The City Hall’s officials found the matter thorny and had no choice but to report it upwards.
That night, Zhou Weiren cursed the Martial Family countless tis in his office, but he couldn’t just ignore the incident.
The two prominent families were so furious that they were ready to fight it out.
He didn’t know whether to praise Elder Jiang’s vigor in his old age, or to criticize the Martial Family’s stubborn self-righteousness for thinking they could misbehave in their Da Peng.
“Do they even have any regard for , Zhou Weiren?” he wondered.
…
…
By eleven o’clock that night.
This farce had already started to attract the attention of quite a few organizations within Da Peng City.
…
Jiang family.
“Family Head, the Martial Family has withdrawn,” said the butler, Zhong Xuan, whose palms were already sweating without him noticing.
He hadn’t expected his first day in the job to be so thrilling.
He was, of course, well aware of who the Martial Family was.
During his studies to beco a butler, he had already mastered the details of the powerful families in and around Da Peng City and the entire Central State.
No exaggeration to say that, strictly speaking, the prestige of the Martial Family of Nan Du City was probably a notch or two above the Jiang family’s.
This couldn’t be separated from the mber of the Martial Family who was in politics and who, to this day, hadn’t fallen, nor shown any signs of weakness.
But the Jiang family wasn’t without rit either.
At least in Da Peng City, the Jiang family was indeed the overlord!
Through the withdrawal of the Martial Family tonight, Zhong Xuan had thoroughly understood the status of the Jiang family.
He cautiously looked up at the Elder who was dining unhurriedly in the dining room, only to be shocked to find that tonight’s major event seed like nothing at all to the legendary old man.
He thought about many things.
And thought for a long ti.
In the end, he could only sigh, admitting in his heart that he felt inferior in composure.
Jiang Xinrun arrived not much later.
He looked at Zhong Xuan.
Pei Jinye gestured for him to speak his mind.
Jiang Xinrun nodded and said in a deep voice, “The Martial Family is unwilling to give up its shares in the comrcial firm, but the Jiang Family Second House has backed down and completely handed over the power. Additionally, the City Hall has already intervened and negotiated with Nan Du, but the result is probably not satisfactory… Governor Zhou Weiren doesn’t want to offend the Martial Family of Nan Du for our sake.”
Pei Jinye wasn’t surprised by this and seed to have expected it, just saying lightly, “Proceed as we planned.”
“Understood.”
Jiang Xinrun nodded respectfully and left.
As the room’s door closed with a “creak,” Zhong Xuan’s heart jumped a beat.
Proceed as we planned?
What does that an?
He carefully looked at the figure wiping the corner of his mouth with a delicate handkerchief.
He felt as if he’d stumbled upon so shocking secret… his heart pounding uncontrollably.
Noticing Pei Jinye’s gaze, Zhong Xuan hurriedly bowed his head.
Pei Jinye spoke slowly, “What do you think, if the managent of the comrcial firm were in our hands, within reasonable limits, how many als of dicinal cuisine like this could I enjoy weekly?”
“This?” Zhong Xuan hesitated, his gaze growing cautious.
“Speak freely,” Pei Jinye said calmly.
Zhong Xuan took a deep breath and said carefully, “I have looked into the business of the comrcial firm before, and due to the mismanagent of the Jiang Family Second House last year, the market share of the comrcial firm has already slipped… If the current situation is maintained, you could enjoy at least forty als of dicinal cuisine of this level weekly.”
“Have you studied business managent?” Pei Jinye asked, finally showing so interest.
“I took this course, and during my university years, I even helped a small enterprise with an annual revenue of three million reach the milestone of a billion,” Zhong Xuan said modestly.
He was truly being modest.
Such an ability might be sowhat impressive outside.
But here in the Jiang family…
Especially after witnessing the startling events of tonight, he would realize that his university experiences, even those outside in the world, were nothing more than child’s play.
“Tell your opinions about the business.”
Facing Pei Jinye’s eyes that seed capable of seeing through one’s soul, Zhong Xuan shivered inside but involuntarily spoke up.
When he left the back hill, Zhong Xuan felt sowhat muddleheaded, his back soaked with sweat.
He thought he was too nervous.
So much so that he seed to have forgotten sothing…
Turning his head back to look at the warmly lit backyard.
Zhong Xuan’s gaze was doubtful; he always felt he had forgotten sothing, but he couldn’t rember what exactly it was.
“Still too nervous…”
It was as if the techniques he had learned at school beca utterly unskillful when facing that person in the yard.
The night grew deeper and darker.
One by one, the lights went out.
It was at this mont that rustling and flapping sounds ca from the distant woods.
Not long after.
A blue bird, swift as lightning, flew into the room and landed steadily in front of Pei Jinye.
A grain of Spirit Rice was thrown to it.
The Bluebird pecked and swallowed, its spirited head bobbing now and then, chirping detailed intelligence it had gathered that day.
“The black crow is controlled by soone… It seems that Da Peng City has seen the appearance of a new Beast Master.”
“Three people in total…”
Pei Jinye slowly put on his mask.
Having been tracked by the black crows twice, he had beco vigilant.
If it weren’t for his Transcendent Beast Master ability, he might not have been aware of the opponent’s scheming.
But he did not know whether the three people who appeared in Da Peng City were there for him or if it was a coincidence.
However, it seed… as Pei Jinye put on his mask,
None of that seed important anymore.
…
…
The night was silent and chilling.
The breeze that brushed by was bone-piercingly cold.
In an abandoned factory located in the West Suburb, probably no one knew that the underground warehouse here had been transford into a secret habitation.
At this mont.
The iron door leading from the basent to the surface was violently kicked open, and the two people inside turned their heads in unison to look.
A figure staggered into the room, reeking of alcohol, holding onto the iron railing as his chest heaved like a bellows.
Before he could speak.
A curse ca from within the ground floor of the basent from a long-haired young man, sounding impatient: “Sun Fuzhou, if you drink, just drink, why make such a commotion? As if the trouble caused before wasn’t big enough—”
Before he could finish.
“Run…”
The man called Sun Fuzhou opened his mouth with great difficulty.
His feeble voice ca through in starts and stops to the ears of the two people downstairs… but before they could make out what he was saying, he staggered and rolled down from the stairwell.
The long-haired young man, thinking he was drunk, cursed and walked forward.
But suddenly, a middle-aged man in sunglasses stopped him, “Sothing’s not right.”
No sooner had he spoken.
The area where the two stood was enveloped by an overwhelmingly fierce cold light.
In an instant, terror descended!
