"Zhang Pu!" Seeing Zhang Pu’s mutilated corpse, Zhang Quan’s eyes were filled with rage.
He didn’t care about his own injuries and rushed to the side of the body, trying to piece together Zhang Pu’s remains, but it was impossible to bring it back to whole.
"The number of pieces my friends have been shattered into is the number of pieces Zhang Pu ends up in," Yang Yu’s voice echoed once again in everyone’s ears, "Nobody can owe Yang Yu a debt of life and not repay it. If you’re not convinced, co find in Tianhai City."
If it had been earlier, Zhang Quan would definitely have gone to seek another fight with Yang Yu.
But now he knew that even as the number one Daoist Martial Artist from Dragon Tiger Mountain, he was no match for that young man.
He had originally intended to suppress his opponent with the montum of Dragon Tiger Mountain, and never anticipated that it would bring disaster upon his entire sect.
The only reason their sect hadn’t been annihilated was that Yang Yu was not a practitioner of evil thods!
He couldn’t understand how, when even he couldn’t deploy the Linglong Tower to such an extent, Yang Yu had managed to do it.
If proficiency in the Daoist skills of Dragon Tiger Mountain were to be considered, Yang Yu seed more like the Sect Leader than him, and that was one of the reasons why he so desperately wanted to kill Yang Yu.
Unable to kill Yang Yu and having his old friend’s son, Zhang Pu, killed by him, he regretted using the prestige of Dragon Tiger Mountain to bully others. If only he’d known...
But what use was regret? If he were to make the choice again despite the heavy loss, he would still make the sa decision.
Just who exactly is this Yang Yu?
"Master, with such strong Daoist skills, why don’t you usually use this strength against Martial Artists?" ng Tie couldn’t help but ask. "With just your Five Thunders Bombarding the Head, how many Martial Artists would be able to withstand it?"
Yang Yu explained, "Using Daoist Skill requires ti. If a Martial Artist’s strength is similar to yours, he won’t give you the ti to deploy your skill. And if the difference in strength is too great, do you still need to use Daoist Skill against your opponent?"
"It does seem to be the case, heh heh!" ng Tie chuckled dryly, "Master, are we going to the Tang Sect in Yu State next?"
"Not yet," Yang Yu said, "Offer them politeness before force. Give them one week to provide us with an explanation. If there’s none, then we’ll go and strike."
Song Zhe Yuan added, "Master, your approach is indeed most appropriate. The Tang Sect has great influence in the Sichuan area, and matters of the worldly society are best settled in the ways of the society, decisively."
ng Tie fell silent for a mont before nodding seriously, "Hmm, we’ll talk about it in a few days then. Master, what’s next?"
"Back to Tianhai City," Yang Yu said, "It’s ti for Tianhai City to have only one voice."
That very night, Yang Yu returned to Tianhai City.
It was also that night when all but four of the top ten families of Tianhai City announced their alliance with the Tianhai—Yang’s Business Alliance.
The reason for adding "Tianhai" was because this alliance was a coalition amongst many families in Tianhai City.
And the "Yang’s" indicated that they were led by Yang Yu.
The mber families would still retain their original businesses but each family was to put in twenty billion as a mbership fund, to be managed by Yang Yu, with profits distributed evenly.
The alliance would not ddle in the mbers’ business; to put it simply, they wouldn’t compete with their own people.
If alliance mbers wanted to expand into other regions or abroad, the alliance would step in, with profits divided among all mbers.
In this way, each mber could not only secure their existing interests but also make money through the alliance, killing two birds with one stone.
Initially, the ten great families of Tianhai City were independent sovereigns, and the strong Xi’an Li Family intended to annex them.
But the Li Family’s hand had barely stretched into Tianhai City before being withdrawn, thwarted, and what they couldn’t accomplish, Yang Yu had achieved.
Even though there were four families yet to join, amongst them, the Luo and Liu Families had already weakened significantly and were no threat. The remaining Tian and Fu Families could not change the overall montum of the alliance.
Whether they are absorbed into or join the Tianhai—Yang’s Business Alliance is only a matter of ti.
Previously, Yang Yu was only known in Tianhai City. Now, his na had instantly beco known to the top-tier families throughout the whole of Xia Country.
Furthermore, the news about Yang Yu’s overt and covert struggles with Young Master Li spread widely, gaining him respect; no one dared to underestimate him anymore.
There weren’t too many who dared to provoke Young Master Li, but no one besides Yang Yu had a good end.
Since Yang Yu had not only survived but also won a battle against Young Master Li, it proved Yang Yu had the strength to defeat him.
Anyone who looked down on Yang Yu was belittling Young Master Li and the Li Family, and no one in Xia Country had the guts to do that.
Moreover, as the leading coastal city and pri port of export, many families had to deal with Tianhai City in one way or another.
If soone didn’t wish to do business with Tianhai City, they were welco to offend Yang Yu to death.
In nearly a year’s ti, Yang Yu had gone from being a bricklayer to a prominent figure in Tianhai City, a rise that was astonishing!
Silver Horse Club, Shen Silin’s boudoir.
"Once we’ve handled the other four big families, we can hold the inauguration ceremony for the alliance," Shen Silin smiled. "By then, calling your overseas friends over, the ceremony will surely be a spectacular event."
"That’s not a problem. The issue is whether we should expand overseas or into Yanjing next," Yang Yu said seriously, "Xia Yu, what does our strategist think?"
"Develop both simultaneously," Xia Yu calmly sipped her red wine, "Developnt abroad and dostically should proceed hand in hand, complenting each other."
"The only problem is the severe shortage of available manpower," Yang Yu said with a worried expression, "There should be capable people, but not many can be trusted."
"That’s simple," Xia Yu confidently asserted, "using the personnel from various families as a base, I believe they will be eager to expand. And our job will be to watch them in secret, ensuring they don’t embezzle."
"Don’t you have an intelligence agency? They will co in handy. Once you have more capable and shrewd people under you, we can gradually replace their personnel."
"That’s a good plan," Yang Yu agreed earnestly, "In that case, I shall leave it all in the hands of our Strategist Xia."
"Co on, let’s toast," Shen Silin lifted her glass, "to our comrcial empire."
"To our comrcial empire," Xia Yu and Yang Yu also lifted their glasses, emptying them in one gulp.
"Hm? What’s with this wine?" Xia Yu felt her face growing hot, and a strange sensation spread throughout her body.
"Really?" Shen Silin smiled, "I don’t feel anything. What about you, Yang Yu?"
"This wine... has that drug added to it!" Yang Yu imdiately realized what was going on, as his body also reacted, "Selin, what are you doing?"
