"Three hundred million? You can't even afford one of my Soul-Locking Pills, yet you want to take control of my company and get the formulas for my Soul-Locking Pills and all my medicines? Why don't you just rob me?" Ye Xingchen spread his hands.
"Heh, Ye Xingchen, people are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat. Agree to my conditions, and your company can be saved. Otherwise, do you really think you can save your company?" Chu Xiang sneered, "There are plenty of people watching you now, don't you know that?"
"That's my business, no need for Young Master Chu to worry about it. Besides, I feel that these conditions you've made aren't for yourself, but for someone else, right?" Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
“You’re a smart man. Someone did ask me to make these demands of you, Ye Xingchen, so you should be sensible.” Chu Xiang stared at Ye Xingchen: “Otherwise, you’ll suffer a terrible fate.”
"You're working for the Japanese, aren't you?" Ye Xingchen sneered. "Any company in China that shows any signs of rising will be targeted by Nico, who will then try every means to seize their achievements."
"This is their usual style, Chu Xiang. I used to think you were just a playboy, but now I realize I was wrong. You're not only a playboy, you're also a fool."
Ye Xingchen slowly stood up: "Why would you choose to be a dog of the Japanese when you could be a decent person?"
"Shut up." Chu Xiang's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Since you know, then I won't hide it anymore. That's right, I'm working for Nico's Sato Matsuichi."
"Do you know what kind of entity the Nico Group is? Their family background and resources are beyond your imagination. If you listen to me, I guarantee you a life of wealth and honor. If you don't, you will suffer a terrible death."
"Hehe, the ambitions of the Japanese have never died. The Nico Group is loyal to the Emperor, and they will not let go of any opportunity to suppress China's growth."
Ye Xingchen sneered, "I won't stop you from being a dog, but if you dare to covet my Soul-Locking Pill and Xingchen Group, do you believe I'll kill you?"
"Hahaha, Ye Xingchen, do you really think you're some big shot?" Chu Xiang laughed arrogantly. He stood up and pointed at Ye Xingchen: "In my eyes, you're just a lucky nouveau riche."
"You can't even get into my circle. The Chu family has been established in Tianhai for decades. Our resources are beyond your imagination. Believe me or not, I can crush you with a flick of my finger."
"I really don't believe it. Your Chu family simply seized the trend of the times. All the money you made in the early years was ill-gotten gains, wasn't it?" Ye Xingchen laughed.
"As for what you mean by 'circle', I don't understand. All I know is that in the future, there will only be one family in Tianhai, and that is my Ye Xingchen's Ye family."
"Haha, you're just a country bumpkin, yet you dream of becoming a tycoon? Do you know how many people are interested in the Star Group right now?"
Chu Xiang sneered, "Even if I don't come, someone else will. Do you really think your connections are enough to protect your company?"
"How will you know if you don't try?" Ye Xingchen slowly stood up: "Chu Xiang, I don't have what you want, and let me give you a piece of advice: those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. Go back and tell Sato Matsuichi to go back to where he came from."
"Want to leave? Do you really think you can get away unscathed today?" Chu Xiang grabbed a cup and slammed it to the ground.
The cup made a crisp sound, and then the door opened, and a large group of people poured in.
"Take this kid down, life or death is irrelevant." Chu Xiang sneered, "Ye Xingchen, even if you die, the formula will still be mine. Get him!"
A dozen thugs suddenly surged forward. Ye Xingchen sneered, took a step forward, and in a flash, he had already plunged into the crowd.
He shook his arms, unleashing a roar of true energy that formed a protective aura around him. With a dragon's roar, more than ten thugs around him were sent flying.
Ye Xingchen took another step forward and threw a heavy punch. Boom! Several skilled bodyguards who were blocking Chu Xiang's way were sent flying backward, coughing up blood.
He reached out and grabbed Chu Xiang, intending to subdue him.
Just then, with a few whooshing sounds, five figures suddenly flew over, followed by five copper rods striking Ye Xingchen from different directions.
Ye Xingchen stepped back slightly to dodge the blows, and saw the copper rods strike the ground, causing the floor to crack.
Five martial arts practitioners dressed in black outfits arrived together. Their eyes gleamed with sharp light, clearly indicating that they were martial arts masters.
The five men each held a bronze staff. The staff held by the leading man was dark purple, with an ancient mythical beast patterned on its tip.
"The Dark Annihilation Staff, the Peerless Staff of the Chen family? And the Three Strongholds and Twelve Gates of Wutou Mountain again?" Ye Xingchen frowned slightly.
When he faced Yang Tie before, the old man Shen Yue he invited was the former leader of Wutou Mountain, whose head was chopped off by Ye Xingchen with a single sword. He never expected to encounter the people of Wutou Mountain again this time.
The Three Villages and Twelve Gates of Wutou Mountain are a martial arts alliance north of Tianhai. They are all low-ranking sects in the martial arts world, closely connected with some local underground forces and families, and are engaged in all sorts of shady dealings.
Just like Chu Xiang, who wanted to get rid of Ye Xingchen, he found the person in charge of Wutou Mountain and paid them to take care of Ye Xingchen.
"Chen Bing, the peerless cudgel of the Chen family, from Qingfeng Village, Wutou Mountain." The man holding the dark purple copper cudgel bowed slightly.
"Personal grudges are best left alone for Wutou Mountain. Otherwise, your former leader, Shen Yue, is the best example of what not to do," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
"Did Alliance Leader Shen die at your hands?" Chen Bing's expression changed. They only knew that Shen Yue had gone down the mountain to settle a matter, but he never returned, and even his body was separated from his body.
The three villages and twelve alliances also changed their leaders. As for Shen Yue, he was dead, so they didn't care. What they cared more about was who the next leader would be.
"If he doesn't die, how will your father have the chance to become the leader of the Wutou Mountain Martial Alliance?" Ye Xingchen sneered: "The three strongholds and twelve alliances of Wutou Mountain may be of average strength, but they are still people in the martial arts world."
"How come he has no sense of chivalry at all, and instead does nothing but the work of a thug?"
"Shut up! You're paid to do what you're supposed to do," Chen Bing shouted. "Form ranks!"
With a whoosh, the five men sprang to their feet, surrounding Ye Xingchen. They roared in unison, and their five copper staffs moved in perfect coordination as they attacked Ye Xingchen.
However, Ye Xingchen didn't take his opponent's barely-reached Yellow Realm strength seriously at all. He moved through the staff formation known as the Chen Family Peerless Staff with ease, appearing completely at ease.
Chen Bing was already anxious. He roared and flicked his Dark Annihilation Staff. With a crack, the staff extended, and lotus-shaped blades appeared at both ends, attacking Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen swayed forward, snatched the Dark Annihilation Staff from Chen Bing's hand, and then with a shout, flicked his right hand and swept it horizontally.
The copper staffs in the hands of the other four disciples shattered with a crack, and at the same time, all four coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, seriously injured.
