West Sea, Jinlin Island, three months after the battle of Chu Mansion.
Pang Jie disguised himself many times and traveled many times before finally arriving at Jinlin Island again as a small sea merchant.
No one has been looking for them for some time, but out of caution, Pang Jie does not plan to go back now.
Although he is an ordinary person, he is also a knowledgeable maritime merchant. Naturally, he understands that when participating in the battle of the domineering realm, people like them are just small shrimps, not worth mentioning at all. They may be crushed at any time and their families may be destroyed!
"The rulers of this world are those who possess the power of the Tyrant Realm. The Tyrant Realm is the ruler of this world."
This kind of cognition was common knowledge known to all forces, big and small, since he married into the Liu family. It was an axiom in the world.
"You can provoke anyone, but you can't provoke a Tyrant Realm expert! This is the iron rule and taboo for all forces like us that don't have a Tyrant Realm expert at their helm!"
Pang Jie recalled the advice of his late father-in-law and wife, as well as his own experience in business over the years. When he learned that two Tyrannical Realm masters, who were enemies rather than friends, were fighting in his home, he knew that his peaceful days were over.
He decisively took his money and loyal servant and left Huishou Island by boat overnight, hiding his identity, avoiding the limelight, inquiring about news, and waiting for follow-up.
Last month, Pang Jie heard that both of them came from outside this world and had no roots in this realm. This immediately made him feel relieved. However, out of caution, he still did not return immediately, but planned to return after the situation became clearer.
"After all, he's a powerful being in the Tyrant Realm! Even without power, he's an invincible figure capable of conquering an entire island on his own. Unbeatable! Better to avoid him."
As for coming to Jinlin Island, one reason was that the devil and the demon slayer appeared here two or three months ago. The situation of the Chu Mansion there was very similar to that of his own Pang Mansion, which was very instructive. He wanted to come and see the current specific situation of the Chu Mansion for reference.
"Master, we're here."
Pang Jie brought a group of servants and his son into one of the most famous hotels.
Naturally, a servant went to check in, and Pang Jie took two servants directly to a private room in the restaurant on the second floor that had been reserved long ago to wait for the person they were waiting for. This time, due to the storm, it was already a quarter of an hour later than the agreed time, and he didn't know if the other party was still waiting for him.
"Boss Chu is clear?"
"Boss Lin Jie Lin?"
"Ha ha……"
"Ha ha……"
The two laughed and saluted at the same time, as if they were friends who had known each other for a long time. In fact, they had only communicated through the conch shell and this was the first time they met in real life.
However, one of them is a sea merchant and the other is a factory director. Both are businessmen. They are business elites who smile at everyone and make money by being friendly. They have excellent communication skills and are like a spring breeze, making people feel like they are old friends at first sight.
The two sat down and exchanged pleasantries.
"My ship encountered a storm at sea. I rushed here without even leaving my luggage, but I'm still a quarter of an hour late. Please forgive me, Boss Chu."
"Haha... That's normal, normal. As business people, who hasn't encountered emergencies? Who wants to break an appointment or be late? As long as you keep your integrity, that's all!"
"Be honest! Absolutely be honest! Otherwise, we wouldn't have five or six ships sailing across half the West Sea to do such a big business, don't you think?"
"Boss Lin, I had someone check and found that among the maritime merchants with a business as large as yours, there is no one named Lin Jie. Your identity is questionable, so how can you be considered honest?"
Pang Jie was prepared for this. Who among those who run a business of their size doesn't have their own information channels and connections? Even apart from those, as long as you have money, what information can't you buy?
"Boss Chu, this is boring. This is our first transaction, and we've already paid for the goods. There's no arrears. It's rude of you to check my background like this!"
"Haha...it's an emergency, so we have to be cautious. I hope Elder Lin will give us some advice."
"Since we're talking about this, let's get it out in the open. I also know a little about your Chu Mansion. I heard that you offended a tyrant, and someone in your family was involved in a large-scale murder, which offended many people. All the merchants who used to work with you have terminated their contracts with you. Now, the goods produced in your Chu Mansion's factory must be piled up like a mountain, right? Otherwise, why would you come to an appointment when you knew my identity was fake?"
Chu Qing laughed dryly twice. He originally thought that the other party was from an outlying island and had just arrived at Jinlin Island. He didn't know the situation of his family. He wanted to scare the other party so that the other party would give more benefits in the next negotiation. Unexpectedly, the other party was also a well-informed person. It was really "stealing a chicken but losing the rice". Now the relationship has become so stiff!
"Alas, our Chu family has truly suffered an unjust disaster! Devil, you know what I mean, right?"
"Of course I know about the demon. Demons and demon slayers are the biggest news lately. People are talking about them everywhere. It's hard not to know."
"Alas, perhaps you don't know, but a member of our Chu family's side branch turned out to be a demon, and within half a month, he committed dozens of extremely serious crimes! Alas, although the demon was eliminated by the Demon Slayer, those victims came to us and asked us to pay compensation! Do you think I was undeserved? Besides the victims, those partners who had cooperated with us for many years also took advantage of our misfortune and terminated their contracts and severed their cooperation with us. It's really unreasonable, and..."
Chu Qing began to pour out her grievances to Pang Jie, telling him about the misfortunes that had happened in the past two or three months. Her story was so gratuitous and tragic!
Pang Jie didn't say anything either. He just smiled and watched Chu Qing perform quietly, listening to him complain.
Chu Qing probably really wanted to find someone to complain to, as he talked for over an hour. After finishing, he took a long sip of his wine and sighed, "Although I knew that the Tyrant Realm masters had great influence, I didn't expect it to be this great. We only gained a small edge over them, but we were pushed into a dead end, unable to retreat. We've seen the fickleness of human nature. Fortunately, the two of them were said to be from outside the realm and had no foundation in the West Sea, so they gave us a chance to breathe. Boss Lin, your coming here is really a great help! Apart from anything else, I, Chu Qing, will definitely make friends with you as my brother!"
"I heard about it and felt that you had suffered an unexpected disaster, so I came to do business with you."
"Haha... a friend in need is a friend indeed! I never thought we'd meet Brother Lin in our most difficult times. Brother Lin, you're truly our savior! Sure enough, let's drink! Cheers!"
Pang Jie smiled and drank a glass with Chu Qing.
"That guy?"
"Brother Chu, to be honest, I encountered a storm and lost a boat, so my funds are a bit tight."
"I understand, I understand. Let's talk about it. This is easy to talk about!"
